Romance with Voluptuousness by Kamille Gentles-Peart Pdf

Offering a unique vantage point from which to view black women's body image and Caribbean migration, Romance with Voluptuousness illuminates how first- and second-generation immigrant black Caribbean women engage with a thick body aesthetic while living in the United States. Using personal accounts, Romance with Voluptuousness examines the ways in which black women with heritage in the English-speaking Caribbean participate in, perpetuate, and struggle with the voluptuous beauty standard of the black Caribbean while living in the hegemony of thinness cultivated in the United States. It highlights how black Caribbean women negotiate issues of body image deriving from both Caribbean and American pressures to maintain a particular body shape and contend with discourses and practices surrounding the body that aim to marginalize and exclude them from economic, social, and political spaces. By focusing on diasporic Caribbean women's "romance" with voluptuousness, Kamille Gentles-Peart explores the transnational flow of beauty ideals and examines how ideas about beauty in the Caribbean diaspora help to shape the experiences of Caribbean black women in the United States.

Exchange and Deception: A Feminist Perspective by Caroline Gerschlager,Monika Mokre Pdf

This book aims at expanding and correcting "malestream" economic concepts of the exchange economy and its role in society by focusing on deception from a feminist economic perspective. The main motivation for writing the book was the realization that the prototypical economic model of exchange is notable for the total absence of deception. In standard economic models individuals are regarded as 'uncheatable'. Hence deception, even if individuals have an interest in it, cannot succeed. By contrast, the authors of this volume examine deception as the key to understanding the functioning of exchange by focusing on settings in which deception is successful in exchange. The authors draw on Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments as a starting point for a discussion on feminist views and perspectives on exchange and deception. This is supplemented by examinations of economic thought and traditional economic modelling within a feminist economic framework and by empirical insights into the situation of women.

Romance or the End by Elaine Kahn Pdf

“This book takes me right back to the Carnage Years―yours, too―sacrificed to love. If only I, you, had possessed Elaine Kahn’s wisdom and wit. These poems are lacerating, coy, bloody, and so true I wanted to memorize lines from them.” ―Rachel Kushner, author of The Mars Room and The Flamethrowers Romance or The End takes up the tools of romantic narrative in order to perform the rupture between self and story that occurs at the onset of trauma. Using known and pathologized literary arcs, Elaine Kahn unspools the fundamental instability of truth, love, and language to create an experiential portrait of narrative’s power to both disfigure and restore. ROMANCE or THE END This is a book about love. And it is a book about lies. Love can be a lie, but it is also always true. This is a book about truth. This is a book about story. There is no such thing as a true story and so there are no stories in this book. Without a story, there is separation. This is a book about separation. Everything is a story. Even the truth. There is nothing truer in this world than the lie of love.

The Romantic World of Puccini by Iris J. Arnesen Pdf

Giacomo Puccini, composer of some of the world's most popular operas, including La Boheme, Tosca, and Madama Butterfly, was also a highly literary person who based his librettos on existing works of literature. This work explores that literary inheritance in an effort to enhance the listener's appreciation of the operatic experience. The author argues that the majority of Puccini's operas compose a grand cycle that finds its roots in the romance genre of 12th century France, serving to celebrate the strong, independent heroine. Via a close examination of the source works, the librettos, and the scores, this book offers fresh perspective on Puccini's legacy.

Two Glasses of Voluptuousness by Cleberson Eduardo da Costa Pdf

I"Two glasses of Voluptuousness - a novel about the justice of the love" - is a small masterpiece.For the lyrical I added, "the mutual love (to love and to be loved) is of the order of the miracle"; it is a "rising to life". In other words, who have not received is only surviving and not living: is dead to true happiness. The author, however, makes us think that "one should not lose hope"; that "you must have faith"; that "we need to keep the sincere heart and pure so that one day we will be able to be graced by him." However, leaves a question in the air: true love is in fact always true?IIThrough the story of an unexpected and exciting story of love experienced between a man and a humble trader, the author makes us think about the need that we all have a day to find ourselves a reciprocal love. It is a book that addresses issues such as polygamy, polyamory, promiscuity and consumer relations of people as if they were things, but at the same time strengthens and/or renew our hopes in the encounter of happiness.In the words of the author: "Love, even if late, robs us of sadness... and it returns us to happiness...; The love, even if late, because it is the beginning and the essence of life, to find us fruit consumed..., cast out, puts us again on the condition of the seed...; it makes us grow again: it makes us give fruits even where it was said there deserts...; The love, even if late, deliver us from those who do not have, never had and never will have the true intention or ability to love us...; The love, even if late, puts us as a relic, as preciousness, stand in front of that (a) which has already tired (a) to lose, follow fearless (a) in the opposite direction of the solitude; The love, as well as the righteousness of God, even many times seeming blind, deaf and dumb, sometimes even slow, but never, never fails ..."

The Wisdom of Pleasures by Julien Offray de la Mettrie Pdf

He's known for his audacious claim in 'Man a Machine' that humans can be reduced to their mechanism: but La Mettrie wrote other books too. In these hidden gems, the most radical of all Enlightenment thinkers lays bare his hedonistic ideas. In a godless universe that seems to be engineered only around pleasure and pain, how should we act? Should we just give in to all-out debauchery as our destiny, or is there a nobler path?This is the first-ever English translation of these books, which were originally published in 1747 and 1751.
