Book Synopsis Sex & Violence, Death & Silence by : Gordon Burn
Download or read book Sex & Violence, Death & Silence written by Gordon Burn and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Pop artists were among the first to understand the desire of consumers to change their lives through the purchase of clean, manufactured commodities. YBA, on the other hand, was more interested in the dirt that accrues beneath the laminate surface of shiny things. Their special perception was that cheap language and cheap materials didn't have to equal cheap thinking. The trick was to tell it in a jaunty, unportentous, off-hand, unliterary - anti-literary - way. And then there were the drugs.' Spanning nearly 35 years, Sex & Violence, Death & Silence is a collection of the best of Gordon Burn's writing on art. Focusing on two principle generations - the Royal College pop art of Hockney and his contemporaries, and the YBA sensations of the 1990s - it explores how these artists rose to prominence with their friends and contemporaries, and what happened next. Burn's work is fast becoming a kind of chronicle. Its factuality always connects with the broader poetic rythms of cultural life. Displaying all his customary insight and empathy, his writing adds up to much more than a collection of pieces on art: superbly evocative and engaging, it offers a pathway through two of the most important and vibrant periods in recent art history, and is another compelling and ruminative look at our culture.

Book excerpt: “The perfect kind of high-pressure adventure.” —TeenVogue.com A New York Times bestseller! Red Queen meets The Hunger Games in this epic novel about what happens when a senator’s daughter is summoned to the galactic court as a hostage, but she’s really the galaxy’s most dangerous weapon in disguise. A Diabolic is ruthless. A Diabolic is powerful. A Diabolic has a single task: Kill in order to protect the person you’ve been created for. Nemesis is a Diabolic, a humanoid teenager created to protect a galactic senator’s daughter, Sidonia. The two have grown up side by side, but are in no way sisters. Nemesis is expected to give her life for Sidonia, and she would do so gladly. She would also take as many lives as necessary to keep Sidonia safe. When the power-mad Emperor learns Sidonia’s father is participating in a rebellion, he summons Sidonia to the Galactic court. She is to serve as a hostage. Now, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia. She must become her. Nemesis travels to the court disguised as Sidonia—a killing machine masquerading in a world of corrupt politicians and two-faced senators’ children. It’s a nest of vipers with threats on every side, but Nemesis must keep her true abilities a secret or risk everything. As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns there is something more to her than just deadly force. She finds a humanity truer than what she encounters from most humans. Amidst all the danger, action, and intrigue, her humanity just might be the thing that saves her life—and the empire.

Download or read book Sex & Violence written by Kristy Bowen and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Women's Studies. "Kristy Bowen is a master of conjuring the treacheries of femininity. In SEX & VIOLENCE, she draws upon such diverse sources as Plath's Ariel poems (here collaged piece by piece to make her own poems so much stranger, and newer, and hauntingly 'eerie,' as in the absence of the missing, familiar words, and the missing, familiar woman) and, to conjure the contrary, poems set to dumb blonde jokes, where the result of two blondes 'fall(ing) down a hole' is that 'the wishbone of their throats harbor tiny fish and assorted birdery' and that, after murder, their bodies can be found 'placed so careful in their beds each morning.' Here is a book to beware of, dear reader. You'll find yourself trapped inside Bowen's 'enormous wedding cake--a claustrophobic swirl of sugar and lace,' with 'Horses and house fires' placed right next to it, and in its feverish dream of kisses and ruin, you won't want to ever escape."--Gillian Cummings "Bowen is a poet on fire the way that Dali's giraffes are on fire, the way our overheated Earth is on fire, the way Sylvia Plath was on fire the year before her suicide. Her poems happen in a time when 'men continue to do terrible things to women,' and yet women are poets with magical and persistent powers. '[E]ach night I am remaking something with the thrum of a hundred thousand wings,' she writes. 'I am waiting with a screwdriver behind the wardrobe's mirrored doors... waiting for the bite.' Her blondes turn their dumbness into blunt instruments. Her dead girls pen letters to their murderers: 'You know us writers, turning everything to grist... ' This is a not-to-miss book, even for the jaded. In a time when 'everyone [is] drinking tea and going on and on about art,' Bowen wrestles her tight-edged poems into new startle."--Devon Balwit "Kristy Bowens SEX & VIOLENCE with its attention-getting title delves through body, self, woman, with knife-sharp darkly humorous phrasing and opulent imagery that has become her trademark. Bowen uses a palette of ekphrasis (Salvador Dali's 'Inventions of the Monsters'), allusion to pop tropes and slasher movies, and anaphora (a blonde... ) to deliver her inimitable and startling exposition of love against its backdrop of brutality. She repeats haunting lines, 'I love it like history,' populates her poems with magical images in ironic settings: little blue dog, honey drudgers, a huge camellia. Bowen presents a dichotomy that balances the lustful body and its corporeal yearning with the ethereal, spiritual agape love. 'How I would like to believe in tenderness.' Then: 'I do not know how to write about love without a little bit of pain' she says in 'how to write a love poem in a time of war.' Bowen's latest book of poetry etches itself in the reader at a cellular level."--Cathryn Shea
Book Synopsis Sexual Violence Against Men in Global Politics by : Marysia Zalewski
Download or read book Sexual Violence Against Men in Global Politics written by Marysia Zalewski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual violence against men is an under-theorised and under-noticed topic, though it is becoming increasingly apparent that this form of violence is widespread. Yet despite emerging evidence documenting its incidence, especially in conflict and post-conflict zones, efforts to understand its causes and develop strategies to reduce it are hampered by a dearth of theoretical engagement. One of the reasons that might explain its empirical invisibility and theoretical vacuity is its complicated relationship with sexual violence against women. The latter is evident empirically, theoretically, and politically, but the relationship between these violences conjures a range of complex and controversial questions about the ways they might be different, and why and how these differences matter. It is the case that sexual violence (when noticed at all) has historically been understood to happen largely, if not only, to women, allegedly because of their gender and their ensuing place in gender orders. This begs important questions regarding the impact of increasing knowledge about sexual violence against men, including the impact on resources, on understandings about, and experiences of masculinity, and whether the idea and practice of gender hierarchy is outdated. This book engages this diverse set of questions and offers fresh analysis on the incidences of sexual violence against men using both new and existing data. Additionally, the authors pay close attention to some of the controversial debates in the context of sexual violence against men, revisiting and asking new questions about the vexed issue of masculinities and related theories of gender hierarchy. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of sex, gender, masculinities, corporeality, violence, and global politics, as well as to practitioners and activists.
Book Synopsis Queering Sexual Violence by : Jennifer Patterson
Download or read book Queering Sexual Violence written by Jennifer Patterson and published by Riverdale Avenue Books LLC. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often pushed to the margins, queer, transgender and gender non-conforming survivors have been organizing in anti-violence work since the birth of the movement. Queering Sexual Violence: Radical Voices from Within the Anti-Violence Movement locates them at the center of the anti-violence movement and creates a space for their voices to be heard. Moving beyond dominant narratives and the traditional “violence against women” framework, the book is multi-gendered, multi-racial and multi-layered. This thirty-seven piece collection disrupts the mainstream conversations about sexual violence and connects them to disability justice, sex worker rights, healing justice, racial justice, gender self-determination, queer & trans liberation and prison industrial complex abolition through reflections, personal narrative, and strategies for resistance and healing. Where systems, institutions, families, communities and partners have failed them, this collection lifts them up, honors a multitude of lived experiences and shares the radical work that is being done outside mainstream anti-violence and the non-profit industrial complex.

Download or read book The Book of Margery Kempe written by Margery Kempe and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1985 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the eventful and controversial life of Margery Kempe - wife, mother, businesswoman, pilgrim and visionary - is the earliest surviving autobiography in English. Here Kempe (c.1373-c.1440) recounts in vivid, unembarrassed detail the madness that followed the birth of the first of her fourteen children, the failure of her brewery business, her dramatic call to the spiritual life, her visions and uncontrollable tears, the struggle to convert her husband to a vow of chastity and her pilgrimages to Europe and the Holy Land. Margery Kempe could not read or write, and dictated her remarkable story late in life. It remains an extraordinary record of human faith and a portrait of a medieval woman of unforgettable character and courage.
