Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time by the Modern Library Anne Carson’s remarkable first book about the paradoxical nature of romantic love Since it was first published, Eros the Bittersweet, Anne Carson’s lyrical meditation on love in ancient Greek literature and philosophy, has established itself as a favorite among an unusually broad audience, including classicists, essayists, poets, and general readers. Beginning with the poet Sappho’s invention of the word “bittersweet” to describe Eros, Carson’s original and beautifully written book is a wide-ranging reflection on the conflicted nature of romantic love, which is both “miserable” and “one of the greatest pleasures we have.”

Book excerpt: Set partly in the present and partly in the future, Eros Triumphant centers on Andora Panvion, a wealthy predator of plutocrats preventing humanity from organizing an orderly exodus from our solar system. The bloated Sun evaporated Earth’s oceans. A global desert stretches between the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer while the poles bear the only seas and vegetation. Humans live in subterranean cities across the solar system and several alien star systems. Around the galaxy’s central black hole, a ring 3.14 light-years in diameter bears oceans, landmasses, cities, and form-shifting beings fond of existentialism. Eros finally kills Thanatos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Search the internet! The words triumphant and surrender are not typically found together. After all, winners triumph, and losers surrender, right? In the worldaEUR(tm)s eyes, that is certainly right. Yet from a kingdom perspective, triumphant and surrender are a perfect match. The pivotal point of surrender to GodaEUR(tm)s plan for our lives occurs when we admit that our ways and thoughts are undeniably subordinate to GodaEUR(tm)s ways and thoughts. Once that happens, God uses the gospel of Jesus Christ, the transforming work of the Holy Spirit, and the profound truths of the Bible to orchestrate a magnificent triumph in us and through us.This is a story of the dramatic events in one manaEUR(tm)s life. These pages reveal what can happen when we walk in harmony with God versus the startling contrasts of what can happen when we thumb our nose at God. Can any of us imagine what might have happened in the Garden of Gethsemane had Jesus said, aEURoeNot thy will, Father, but mine be done!aEUR Hell would have cackled with glee for far longer than just three days. In a lonely hotel room one night in Hamburg, Germany, as anger against God heightened, this Spirit-fueled discourse was born, destined to help the hurting, offer clarity to the confused, and spark hope in the hopeless.What do you believe? Is triumphant living about trying harder, or might it be about believing bigger and surrendering deeper? What do you think GodaEUR(tm)s will for your life is? Do you know what His call upon your life is? Have you consistently succeeded in filling the God-shaped hole in your heart? Does your identity bring you peace and joy, pride and accomplishment, or shame and defeat? Would you like your life to be transformed like a butterfly in a cocoon? Do you believe living triumphantly in Christ can be your reality?This memoir of one manaEUR(tm)s testimony, interwoven with hundreds of scriptures, is written in easy-to-understand prose that sheds light on each one of these profound questions. May these pages forever alter the course of your life and lead you to your own Triumphant Surrender.

Download or read book The Severed Head written by Julia Kristeva and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned philosopher and cultural theorist Kristeva (Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection) offers an extended consideration of artistic figurations of the severed head, the organizing theme to an exhibition she coordinated at the Louvre in 1998. Though she follows a single historical trajectory, moving from Paleolithic skull cults to antique Greek sculpture to the Surrealist drawings, Kristeva eschews the disciplinary constraints of art history, instead employing psychoanalysis to explore the intertwined problems of representation and mortality posed by the severed head. For Kristeva, the capacity to figure the life of the mind first requires a confrontation with this horrific object that stands at the boundary between life and death, registering not only the loss of corporeal form but also subjective interiority. Though this book does not engage with recent images of decapitation, it is not without contemporary political-cultural import; for Kristeva, these cruel artistic figurations offer us the capacity to contemplate the sacred within a technology-driven contemporary visual culture. Verdict While a challenging text, this beautifully written and richly layered meditation on mortality and representation will undoubtedly appeal to those readers interested in semiotic and psychoanalytically informed readings of art.-Jonathan Patkowski, CUNY Graduate Ctr.(c) Copyright 2012.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of an atheists search for universal ethics, God Is a Heartless Recluse demonstrates that theists claim of God as their Heavenly Father is delusional. A god who allows terminal childhood diseases, mass murderers, cannibals, and genocides is at best a heartless recluse. In reality, God is a figment of megalomaniacal minds that dont have the courage to accept the facts: Humans evolved from earlier primates. God is a human invention: animism, panpsychism, pantheism, polytheism, monotheism. The universe is indifferent to humanity. Paradise is a fictional luxury resort. Humanity is an adolescent civilization with the potential to mature, spread across the Milky Way, then to other galaxies and other universesto live forever in this eternal multiverse.

Download or read book Marcel Duchamp and the Art of Life written by Jacquelynn Baas and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking reading of Duchamp's work as informed by Asian “esoterism, ” energetic spiritual practices identifying creative energy with the erotic impulse. Considered by many to be the most important artist of the twentieth century, the object of intensive critical scrutiny and extensive theorizing, Marcel Duchamp remains an enigma. He may be the most intellectual artist of all time; and yet, toward the end of his life, he said, “If you wish, my art would be that of living: each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual or cerebral.” In Marcel Duchamp and the Art of Life, Jacquelynn Baas offers a groundbreaking new reading of Duchamp, arguing in particular that his work may have been informed by Asian “esoterism, ” energetic spiritual practices that identify creative energy with the erotic impulse. Duchamp drew on a wide range of sources for his art, from science and mathematics to alchemy. Largely overlooked, until now, have been Asian spiritual practices, including Indo-Tibetan tantra. Baas presents evidence that Duchamp's version of artistic realization was grounded in a western interpretation of Asian mind training and body energetics designed to transform erotic energy into mental and spiritual liberation. She offers close readings of many Duchamp works, beginning and ending with his final work, the mysterious, shockingly explicit Étant donnés: 1° la chute d'eau 2° le gaz d'éclairage, (Given: 1. The Waterfall, 2. The Illuminating Gas). Generously illustrated, with many images in color, Marcel Duchamp and the Art of Life speculates that Duchamp viewed art making as part of an esoteric continuum grounded in Eros. It asks us to unlearn what we think we know, about both art and life, in order to be open to experience.

Download or read book Childhood, Education and the Stage in Early Modern England written by Richard Preiss and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did childhood mean in early modern England? To answer this question, this book examines two key contemporary institutions: the school and the stage. The rise of grammar schools and universities, and of the professional stage featuring boy actors, reflect the culture's massive investment in children. In this collection, an international group of well-respected scholars examines how the representation of children by major playwrights and poets reflected the period's educational and cultural values. This book contains chapters that range from Shakespeare and Ben Jonson to the contemporary plays of Tom Stoppard, and that explore childhood in relation to classical humanism, medicine, art, and psychology, revealing how early modern performance and educational practices produced attitudes to childhood that still resonate to this day.

Book excerpt: Comprising a novel, 59 essays, and a screenplay, Athanasia: Humanity across the Multiverse is a blueprint for our species’ maturation. The novel features a Mars-astronaut couple (a Scandinavi-an-American surfer and a Tibetan-American woman) and a visionary Tibetan-American physicist (the surfer’s mentor and the woman’s uncle) who summon the galaxy’s apex civilization, which clones worthy deceased humans and tests them on an alien Earth-like planet where dinosaur-like creatures with primitive tech tempt cloned humans with genocide. The essays range from peren-nial questions (consciousness, knowledge, the mind-body problem, etc) to more recent ones (quantum mechanics, alternate universes, Black Lives Matter, American exceptionalism, global warming, the Mars frontier, etc).
