Book Synopsis Perversions of the Street by : Michael Edward LeBlanc
Download or read book Perversions of the Street written by Michael Edward LeBlanc and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines a wide range of cultural and literary texts centered on modern and postmodern street life, from the urban gothic fiction of Edgar Allan Poe to the contemporary rap music of 50 Cent. Through my analysis, I discover that the psychic reality involved in fantasy has the power to literally shape "concrete" urban reality in a wide variety of ways: at the point of urban planning when cultural values are applied to a larger design (the 1811 grid plan of New York), at the point of public policy creation when officials make value judgments concerning urban space (the war on drugs), or at the point of everyday life when fantasy shapes how pedestrians experience the street. Examining the pedestrian fantasies surrounding flâneurs , prostitutes, and gangsters, I explore how the mean streets are fashioned by desire.

Book Synopsis Perversion of Justice by : Julie K. Brown
Download or read book Perversion of Justice written by Julie K. Brown and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times Bestseller “A gripping journalistic procedural… Spotlight meets Erin Brockovich.” —Michelle Goldberg, The New York Times “Julie K. Brown's important book offers not just a definitive account of the Epstein case, but a compelling window into her own experiences as a dogged reporter at a regional newspaper, facing off against powerful interests set against her reporting.” —Ronan Farrow, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Catch and Kill Dauntless journalist Julie K. Brown recounts her uncompromising and risky investigation of Jeffrey Epstein's underage sex trafficking operation, and the explosive reporting for the Miami Herald that finally brought him to justice while exposing the powerful people and broken system that protected him. For many years, billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's penchant for teenage girls was an open secret in the high society of Palm Beach, Florida and Upper East Side, Manhattan. Charged in 2008 with soliciting prostitution from minors, Epstein was treated with unheard of leniency, dictating the terms of his non-prosecution. The media virtually ignored the failures of the criminal justice system, and Epstein's friends and business partners brushed the allegations aside. But when in 2017 the U.S Attorney who approved Epstein's plea deal, Alexander Acosta, was chosen by President Trump as Labor Secretary, reporter Julie K. Brown was compelled to ask questions. Despite her editor's skepticism that she could add a new dimension to a known story, Brown determined that her goal would be to track down the victims themselves. Poring over thousands of redacted court documents, traveling across the country and chasing down information in difficulty and sometimes dangerous circumstances, Brown tracked down dozens of Epstein's victims, now young women struggling to reclaim their lives after the trauma and shame they had endured. Brown's resulting three-part series in the Miami Herald was one of the most explosive news stories of the decade, revealing how Epstein ran a global sex trafficking pyramid scheme with impunity for years, targeting vulnerable teens, often from fractured homes and then turning them into recruiters. The outrage led to Epstein's arrest, the disappearance and eventual arrest of his closest accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and the resignation of Acosta. The financier's mysterious suicide in a New York City jail cell prompted wild speculation about the secrets he took to the grave-and whether his death was intentional or the result of foul play. Tracking Epstein’s evolution from a college dropout to one of the most successful financiers in the country—whose associates included Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, and Bill Clinton—Perversion of Justice builds on Brown's original award-winning series, showing the power of truth, the value of local reportage and the tenacity of one woman in the face of the deep-seated corruption of powerful men.
Book Synopsis What are Perversions? by : Sergio Benvenuto
Download or read book What are Perversions? written by Sergio Benvenuto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores what we mean when we use the term "perversion." Are we dealing with a sexological classification, a mental disturbance, an ethical deviation, a hedonistic style, or an historical-cultural artifact? The book retraces some of the fundamental stages in the field of psychoanalytic thought-from Freud to Masud Khan, Stoller, and Lacan-and proposes an original approach: that "paraphilias" today are taken as an ethical failure of the sexual relationship with the other. The perversions signal a specific relationship with the other, who is treated not simply as a sexual object, but someone whose subjectivity is ably exploited precisely in order to get a perverse pleasure. Acts, if considered perverse, are understood as a metaphorical re-edition of a trauma, above all sexual, in which the subject (as a child) suffered the bitter experience of exclusion or jealousy.
Book Synopsis The Skin of the System by : Benjamin Robinson
Download or read book The Skin of the System written by Benjamin Robinson and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Skin of the System objects to the idea that there is only one modernitythat of liberal capitalism. Starting from the simple conviction that whatever else East German socialism was, it was real, this book focuses on what made historical socialism different from social systems in the West. In this way, the study elicits the general question: what must we think in order to think an other system at all? To approach this question, Robinson turns to the remarkable writer Franz Fühmann, the East German who most single-mindedly dedicated himself to understanding what it means to transform from fascism to socialism. Fühmann's own serial loyalties to Hitler and Stalin inform his existential meditations on change and difference. By placing Fühmann's politically alert and intensely personal literary inventions in the context of an inquiry into radical social rupture, The Skin of the System wrests the brutal materiality of twentieth-century socialism from attempts to provincialize both its desires and its failures as antimodern ideological follies.

Book Synopsis The Street Games of 153rd St., Flushing, Queens, NY by : Spencer W. Davis
Download or read book The Street Games of 153rd St., Flushing, Queens, NY written by Spencer W. Davis and published by . This book was released on 2004-01-23 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Larry: The Creation and Destruction of a Child Molester is the telling of two true life stories; one of a mother, frightened, vindictive and controlling and the other of the son she raises, molding him in her own disturbed view of what a "real man" should be. So complete is her domination and so overwhelmed and disinterested is her husband, that Larry becomes the classic pedophile cunning, tyrannical, lonely and afraid. Larry's quest to become the "man" his mother expects him to be propels him on from the abuses of his siblings to failed attempts at normal relationships with women, to burglary, soldiering, homosexuality and rape. Throughout his life, Larry finds that sexual perversion gives him the only sexual arousal that he knows; sadly, it also gives him the only "loving" physical contact that he craves. Eleanora, the mother, is herself the victim of an abusive childhood, an unlucky marriage, tortuous childbirths and bitter adulthood. She is a woman at once pitiful and disgusting, sickening and sad. It is her inner turmoil that drives her to force the family's move to a new house, a pivotal event in the story as it thrusts her back into the workplace and lands Larry in the role of caretaker for his younger brothers and sisters. The story of Eleanora and Larry is told via convergent story lines. The first part of each chapter focuses on Eleanora and the frightening events of her early life. The second part of each chapter shows a parallel event in the life of Larry or his siblings. As Larry reaches adulthood and his perversions escalate, the story catapults toward the climatic event of the book. As Larry sees his sister Jackie marry (and knows he will never again be able to see and stroke her naked body) he makes plans to marry a woman he barely knows, only because she has a young daughter who can become his new victim. When Jackie discovers Larry's plan, she knows he must be stopped even at the risk of her own life. She is joined in the fight by her new husband and ultimately, even Eleanora, the mother in a terrifying struggle to bring Larry's perversity and violence to an end.

Book Synopsis The Problem of Perversion by : Arnold Goldberg
Download or read book The Problem of Perversion written by Arnold Goldberg and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perverse sexual behavior--from mild variations on heterosexual activity to fetishism to cross-dressing--is usually linked to sexual and/or aggressive conflicts in childhood. In this book, Dr. Arnold Goldberg explains and interprets perverse behavior in a different way, by drawing on concepts of psychoanalytic self psychology, a variant of psychoanalysis that originated with Dr. Heinz Kohut and that concentrates on the self as a psychological structure. Psychoanalytic self psychology, says Dr. Goldberg, makes disorders of perversion more understandable and more accessible to treatment. Dr. Goldberg expands the definition of perversion, claiming that it is based on three essential components: sexualization (as distinct from sexuality); vertical splitting (where perverse action resides in the split-off part of the self and the other sector of the self, which knows right from wrong, is temporarily stilled); and psychological family dynamics. Dr. Goldberg explains each of these three dimensions and provides a number of illustrations. He also discusses the possibility of interpreting homosexuality as a compensatory structure, the relation of hostility to perversion, types of perverse behavior that are readily treatable, and the reasonable goals of such treatment.

Book Synopsis The Opposite of Desire by : Tonya Krouse
Download or read book The Opposite of Desire written by Tonya Krouse and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In The Opposite of Desire, Tonya Krouse argues that explicit depictions of sex and sexuality operate as central sites of modernist aesthetic experimentation. To explore the aesthetic repercussions of these scenes in the novels of Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, and James Joyce, Krouse resists the common critical approach of reading such representations through theories of desire, obscenity, or pornography. Instead, she examines these depictions in terms of "the opposite of desire," or pleasure, and this approach allows Krouse to historicize these novelists' preoccupations with entering into discourses on sex and sexuality." "Examining explicit representations of sex and sexuality in modernist novels, Krouse asserts that these scenes provide a lens through which to examine modernist aesthetic interests as well as the centrality of issues surrounding sex, sexuality, and gender in the modernist period. Approaching scenes of sex and sexuality with the aid of Michel Foucault's theories about sexual discourses, The Opposite of Desire thoroughly examines modernist attempts to put pleasure into representation."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis Subjective Experience and the Logic of t by : Romulo Lander
Download or read book Subjective Experience and the Logic of t written by Romulo Lander and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Lacanian handbook for American psychotherapists. Subjective Experience and the Logic of the Other is the first handbook on Lacanian clinical practice specifically designed for American psychotherapists. Dispensing with jargon and elliptic formulations, Lander accomplishes the tour de force of making Lacan "user friendly." Subjective Experience and the Logic of the Other will appeal to mainstream psychotherapists and psychoanalysts wishing to understand the import of Lacanian theory, but fearful of its legendary difficulty. Rómulo Lander, who is a member of the International Psychoanalytical Association, an institution traditionally inimical to Lacan’s teachings, is exquisitely in tune with their trepidation. He therefore takes his colleagues by the hand and carefully introduces Lacanian concepts within the clinical context that is familiar to them. Lander’s didactic approach liberates analysts from the coercion of technique, helping them to link their own subjective experience to their analysands’ unconscious desire. This volume is truly a revolutionary book. After reading Lander’s work, therapists will emerge transformed, imbued with a new confidence in their clinical work.
Book Synopsis Political Perversion by : Joshua Gunn
Download or read book Political Perversion written by Joshua Gunn and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When Trump became president, much of the country was repelled by what they saw as the vulgar spectacle of his ascent, the perversion of the highest office in the land. In his bold, groundbreaking book Political Perversion, rhetorician Joshua Gunn argues that this "mean-spirited turn" in American politics (of which Trump is the paragon) is best understood as a structural perversion enhanced primarily by the speed of communication technologies. Drawing on insights from critical theory, media ecology, and psychoanalysis, Gunn argues that perverse rhetorics dominate not only the political sphere but also our daily interactions with others, in person and online. From sexting to campaign rhetoric, Gunn shows how technology has changed our ways of relating (and not relating) to others and has engendered infantile and sadistic forms of provocation and enjoyment. In this book, Trump is only the tip of a sinister, rapidly growing iceberg, one to which we ourselves unwittingly contribute on a daily basis"--
