Book Synopsis The Space of Sex by : Shelton Waldrep
Download or read book The Space of Sex written by Shelton Waldrep and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As film and television become ever more focused on the pornographic gaze of the camera, the human body undergoes a metamorphosis, becoming both landscape and building, part of an architectonic design in which the erotics of the body spread beyond the body itself to influence the design of the film or televisual shot. The body becomes the mise-en-scène of contemporary moving imagery. Opening The Space of Sex, Shelton Waldrep sets up some important tropes for the book: the movement between high and low art; the emphasis on the body, looking, and framing; the general intermedial and interdisciplinary methodology of the book as a whole. The Space of Sex's second half focuses on how sex, gender, and sexuality are represented in several recent films, including Paul Schrader's The Canyons (2013), Oliver Stone's Savages (2012), Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike (2012), Lars Von Trier's Nymphomaniac (2013), and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Don Jon (2013). Each of these mainstream or independent movies, and several more, are examined for the ways they have attempted to absorb pornography, if not the pornography industry specifically, into their plot. According to Waldrep, the utopian elements of seventies porn get reprocessed in a complex way in the twenty-first century as both a utopian impulse-the desire to have sex on the screen, to re-eroticize sex as something positive and lacking in shame-with a mixed feeling about pornography itself, with an industry that can be seen in a dystopian light. In other words, sex, in our contemporary world, still does not come without compromise.
Download or read book Undressed Toronto written by Dale Barbour and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undressed Toronto looks at the life of the swimming hole and considers how Toronto turned boys skinny dipping into comforting anti-modernist folk figures. By digging into the vibrant social life of these spaces, Barbour challenges narratives that pollution and industrialization in the nineteenth century destroyed the relationship between Torontonians and their rivers and waterfront. Instead, we find that these areas were co-opted and transformed into recreation spaces: often with the acceptance of indulgent city officials. While we take the beach for granted today, it was a novel form of public space in the nineteenth century and Torontonians had to decide how it would work in their city. To create a public beach, bathing needed to be transformed from the predominantly nude male privilege that it had been in the mid-nineteenth century into an activity that women and men could participate in together. That transformation required negotiating and establishing rules for how people would dress and behave when they bathed and setting aside or creating distinct environments for bathing. Undressed Toronto challenges assumptions about class, the urban environment, and the presentation of the naked body. It explores anxieties about modernity and masculinity and the weight of nostalgia in public perceptions and municipal regulation of public bathing in five Toronto environments that showcase distinct moments in the transition from vernacular bathing to the public beach: the city’s central waterfront, Toronto Island, the Don River, the Humber River, and Sunnyside Beach on Toronto’s western shoreline.
Book Synopsis Veils, Nudity, and Tattoos by : Thorsten Botz-Bornstein
Download or read book Veils, Nudity, and Tattoos written by Thorsten Botz-Bornstein and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first sight, tattoos, nudity, and veils do not seem to have much in common except for the fact that all three have become more frequent, more visible, and more dominant in connection with aesthetic presentations of women over the past thirty years. No longer restricted to biker and sailor culture, tattoos have been sanctioned by the mainstream of liberal societies. Nudity has become more visible than ever on European beaches or on the internet. The increased use of the veil by women in Muslim and non-Muslim countries has developed in parallel with the aforementioned phenomena and is just as striking. Through the means of conceptual analysis, Veils, Nudity, and Tattoos: The New Feminine Aesthetics reveals that these three phenomena can be both private and public, humiliating and empowering, and backward and progressive. This unorthodox approach is traced by the three’s similar social and psychological patterns, and by doing so, Veils, Nudity, and Tattoos hopes to sketch the image of a woman who is not only sexually emancipated and confident, but also more and more aware of her cultural heritage.

Book Synopsis Lady Astronauts, Lady Engineers, and Naked Ladies by : Karin Hilck
Download or read book Lady Astronauts, Lady Engineers, and Naked Ladies written by Karin Hilck and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spaces where the women lived and worked are researched from a media, individual, and institutional angle, ultimately revealing the differing gender philosophies communicated in the public sphere and the space community workplaces by government and space community officials. While women were publicly encouraged to participate in the American space effort to beat the Soviet Union in the race to the moon, women had to deal with gender based barriers which were integral to the structures of the space community; just as they were an intrinsic component of all societal structures in the United States in the 1960s. The female space workers, who were often perceived as disrupters of the prevalent social order in the space community and discriminated by some of their male colleagues and bosses on a personal basis, still managed to assert themselves. .
Book Synopsis The Space Barons by : Christian Davenport
Download or read book The Space Barons written by Christian Davenport and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historic quest to rekindle the human exploration and colonization of space led by two rivals and their vast fortunes, egos, and visions of space as the next entrepreneurial frontier The Space Barons is the story of a group of billionaire entrepreneurs who are pouring their fortunes into the epic resurrection of the American space program. Nearly a half-century after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, these Space Barons-most notably Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, along with Richard Branson and Paul Allen-are using Silicon Valley-style innovation to dramatically lower the cost of space travel, and send humans even further than NASA has gone. These entrepreneurs have founded some of the biggest brands in the world-Amazon, Microsoft, Virgin, Tesla, PayPal-and upended industry after industry. Now they are pursuing the biggest disruption of all: space. Based on years of reporting and exclusive interviews with all four billionaires, this authoritative account is a dramatic tale of risk and high adventure, the birth of a new Space Age, fueled by some of the world's richest men as they struggle to end governments' monopoly on the cosmos. The Space Barons is also a story of rivalry-hard-charging startups warring with established contractors, and the personal clashes of the leaders of this new space movement, particularly Musk and Bezos, as they aim for the moon and Mars and beyond.

Download or read book Extraordinary Space written by Stan Burns and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extraordinary Space is a work of science fiction that blends romance and adventure with a newly postulated scientific thesis. In the novel, a new direction of travel available to humans is discovered mathematically and later brought to reality by the main character Lyte Donner. Lyte, with the help of his female assistant Jaseta Zee, makes use of his newly developed technology in a variety of ways including erradicating drug rings, dissolving street gangs, busting international terrorist organizations, and many others. Due to ordinary forces of Earth gravity, this new direction of travel has gone unrealized until Lyte neutralizes gravity in a realistic way consistent with current cutting edge technology. Lyte then balances all other forces that could cause movement in every heretofore known direction and this in turn causes movement in the path of least resistance which is in the new direction. The novel refers to this new direction as the fourth dimension but hold on to your hats because this is not the usual concept of the fourth dimension. Much theory and fiction have already been advanced about the fourth dimension time-space continuum but this novel deals with none of that. New science is proposed in the novel and the new direction of movement is the result of extending the rules of 3-dimensional Euclidean space to 4-dimensional space. It is Euclidean Four Space. Before arguing the point, the question is who can prove that this space doesnt exist? Caution is called for here. Proceed with an open mind. Lyte uses a device called the INTEGRAL to move into the new space which fully encompasses every point in the old ordinary space. A person reading the novel for the first time will likely make judgments based of his/her circle of knowledge and frame of reference and could refer to the INTEGRAL as a Teleportation device. This is new science. It would be a mistake to call the INTEGRAL a Teleportation device. The characters simply move into a new space. They are not teleported anywhere. Teleportation was probably a term new to many of us and introduced by the entertainment industry during the 1960s. We have advanced far beyond that and few if any of the old cliches are adequately able to describe the new science axiomated by the novel. It took several years to develop and complete the novel. The novel was completed prior to the events of 9/11/01. Ironically, Lyte Donner's first lead to terrorists in the book was centered around a pair of Middle Easterners traveling from London to Paris. The subject of terrorism is a major part of the book. The novel culminates on a complication of terrorism, which is resolved nicely. The book is alive with patriotism (again written even before the events of 9/11/01). Patriotism is now alive and well again in our country. It is a popular thing at present and throughout the novel, patriotism is thrust to the forefront. The book even explains how and why patriotism was subdued for such a long period of time, from Lyte's point of view of course. In the book, the term Ground Zero is used in its original sense. The term has now become a well recognized and repeated term. The book is appropriate for the time. The events described in the book are purely ficticious. Any resemblences to real events is strictly coincidental. Although the events in the book are fictional, some (but not all) of the events in the book carry an underlying theme that should be the concern of every American citizen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing in Space, 1973-2019 gathers the writings of conceptual artist Lorraine O'Grady, who for over forty years has investigated the complicated relationship between text and image. A firsthand account of O'Grady's wide-ranging practice, this volume contains statements, scripts, and previously unpublished notes charting the development of her performance work and conceptual photography; her art and music criticism that appeared in the Village Voice and Artforum; critical and theoretical essays on art and culture, including her classic "Olympia's Maid"; and interviews in which O'Grady maps, expands, and complicates the intellectual terrain of her work. She examines issues ranging from black female subjectivity to diaspora and race and representation in contemporary art, exploring both their personal and their institutional implications. O'Grady's writings—introduced in this collection by critic and curator Aruna D'Souza—offer a unique window into her artistic and intellectual evolution while consistently plumbing the political possibilities of art.

Book Synopsis Crimes in Outer Space by : G. S. Sachdeva
Download or read book Crimes in Outer Space written by G. S. Sachdeva and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-30 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book flags and contemplates the lurking problem of space crimes that may escalate and expand with diversification of space activities, greater footfall on the celestial bodies and passage of time, for the lack of appropriate solutions. It appraises the incumbent problems to evolve solutions and make recommendations regarding space crime situations. Recognizing current situation where commercial space travel has commenced, and space tourism is not far behind, the book takes a pole position on discussing the topic with its endemic challenges. Space transportation is expected to lead to commercial mining of celestial mineral resources from the Moon and asteroids, as has been found technically feasible and commercially viable. Space-specific products have been identified for industrial mining, processing, and manufacturing, for which manpower would be necessary, howsoever minimal, despite artificial intelligence devices. Blueprints for space habitations on the Moon and Mars are being prepared. In this scenario, where outer space and celestial bodies may soon be inhabited by multi-nationality, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural groupings of tourists, workers, and residents, given cramped and not so comfortable or private living spaces, attitudinal disparities and conflicting beliefs, differences, disputes, conflicts, and crimes are sure to raise their head. Economic activity and business culture may usher in crimes of competition and spying on intellectual property. Space crimes through technologies like cyber, lasers, etc., may also permeate the space domain for ill-intentioned abuses. The criminals may be individuals or collective groups or incognito terrorists. The book also discusses crimes and near-crimes that have already occurred in space but have been ignored or condoned. Absence of sovereignty on celestial bodies coupled with crimes in space or on celestial bodies, presents problems of jurisdiction, extradition, and other legal procedures. The dilemma of multi-national judicial systems, legal codes and norms of social justice need to be resolved by a specialized treaty reconciling major bends in the existing system vis-à-vis the nature of space crimes. Limitations in handling such crimes by the existing judicial system under established doctrines of international law by International Court of Justice or International Criminal Court, is highlighted in the book. It has strong take-aways for research scholars, law fraternity, diplomatic corps, judicial administration, policy-makers and the political class, enabling them to pro-actively initiate action for suitable answers.
