SHEAR INFAMY by J.E. D'Ulisse Pdf

Sheer Mayhem New York is hit by a wave of bombings, and a lack of anything cool to wear. Sheer Power Hot on the trail but cool in their fashion, a wild bunch works against time and the military to find out who is responsible. Shear Infamy, is on the case of the murders. She is the protean protagonist, who travels the broken landscape of a fragmented America, in search of justice and sweet flattering footwear. Shear Infamy, is a human comedy in the age of terrorism and totalitarianism set fifteen minutes into the future of New York City. It comes from the tradition of J.G.Ballard and Thomas Pynchon, and navigates the terrain between Ulysses and Rick & Morty. It is a dark satire on how history victimizes its witnesses, and how they resist. Shear Infamy, an eternally hip woman in her late thirties who decides to confront the bombings - and her own mid-life crisis - by becoming a crime fighter. Surrounded by her ex-boyfriends; two women whose closet she is parasitically living in; and a group of military police; Shear investigates a crime that has shaken the world around her. Included in the dramatis personae are the traumatized Evelin Nook, who lost her sister and her lover in the bombing, Captain Giacomo Straniero, military investigator with a dark and tragic past, Jissabel D’ladie, heiress and femme fatale, Agent Gogol Swinecock, freelance expert and analyst for the security services, Danny Quinn, the revolutionary woke pornographer, Francis Cabliban, an adventurer being hunted by two men in grey suits, Long Dong Wong, a pot dealer and gorrilla insurgent, and Maggy Cranny, who just wants Shear to get out of her apartment. The novel is as fragmented as the lives we live, with each chapter examining a different way of thinking and writing. From movie trailers, to game shows, to epic poetry, the story progresses through comic fake to tragic turn. With its diverse and Dickensian cast, Shear Infamy is an examination of how to live in a world of violence and imagery, where to be is to be seen. The novel ends on a note of hope as friendship and love are illuminated as the only things worth holding onto.

The Infamous Rakes by Amanda Scott Pdf

In two novels by the USA Today–bestselling author: Will London’s most notorious rogues be outmatched in the game of love by two clever young ladies? When Lady Gillian Carnaby reads of her own betrothal to a hitherto unknown Baron Hopwood in the London Times, she is shocked to learn that the man is real. Worse, Hopwood is merely a minor title for Josiah Hawtrey, Marquess of Thorne, a man with such a scandalous reputation that London society is quite willing to believe he would become affianced to a noblewoman he has never met. To save her reputation, Gillian and the Marquess must go through the motions of a betrothal. But when Gillian sees that Thorne desires her as a woman, if not a wife, she must play a most challenging game of love with one of London’s most notorious rakes. The Marquess of Thorne’s friend, handsome Lord Edward Crawley, seeks to wed a wealthy heiress to shore up his faltering estate—and pay off his gambling debts. When Felicia Adlam realizes that her breathtakingly beautiful younger sister, Theodosia, is the seductive fortune-hunter’s target, she vows to protect Theo from him, no matter what it takes. But Crawley is charmingly honest about his intentions, and undeniably appealing, so Felicia soon discovers that she risks surrendering to the accomplished rake’s seductive charms herself.

Eroticizing Aesthetics by Tim Themi Pdf

Bringing together Bataille with Lacan and Nietzsche, Tim Themi examines the role of aesthetics implicit in each and how this invokes an erotic process celebrating the real of what is usually excluded from articulation. Bataille came to deem eroticism as the standpoint from which to grasp humanity as a whole, based on his understanding of our transition to humanity being founded on a series of taboos placed on inner animality. An erotic outlet for the latter was historically the aesthetic dimensions of our religions, but Bataille’s view of how this was gradually diminished has much in keeping with Nietzsche’s critique of Christian-Platonic dualism and Lacan’s of the desexualised Good of Western metaphysics. Building from these often surprising proximities, Themi closely examines Bataille’s many interventions into the history of aesthetics — from his confrontations with Breton’s surrealism to his own novels and encounter with the animal cave paintings of Lascaux — radically re-illuminating the corollary phenomena of Dionysos in Nietzsche’s philosophy and the “jouissance [enjoyment] of transgression” in the psychoanalysis of Lacan. A new ethical criterion for aesthetic works and creations on this basis becomes possible.

Policing Women by Jo Turner,Helen Johnston,Marion Pluskota Pdf

Policing Women examines for the first time the changing historical landscape of women’s experiences of their contact with the official state police between 1800 and 1950 in the Western world. Drawing on and going beyond existing knowledge about policing practices, the volume discusses how women encountered the official police, how they experienced that contact, and the outcomes of that contact in the modern Western world. In so doing, it is an original and much needed addition to the literature around changes in policing, women’s experiences of the criminal justice system, and women’s experiences of control and regulation. The chapters uncover such experiences in a range of countries across Europe, the USA, Canada, and Australia. Importantly, the collection focuses upon a crucial epoch in the history of policing – a 150-year period when policing was rapidly changing and being increasingly placed on a formal level. Bringing together scholarly work from expert contributors, this unique volume draws to the fore women’s experiences of policing. It will be of great use to both scholars and students on undergraduate and postgraduate criminology and history courses, working on the history of crime, historical criminology, the history of criminal justice, and women’s history.

Alchymist by Ian Irvine Pdf

The Node has failed, rendering humanity's battle clankers and the Aachim's constructs useless. With the battle lost, hordes of alien Lyrinx are swarming from the tar pits of Snizort, intending to fall upon the survivors and destroy them to the last man. Tiaan, crippled and unable to walk, is held prisoner by the vengeful Vithis, who is determined to extract her geomantic secrets at any cost. For his failings, Nish has been cast out and branded a traitor, while Irisis, accused of high treason, is forced to flee for her life. The fate of humanity is dependent on the survival of one wily old man, the Scrutator Xervish Flydd. But Flydd has been blamed for the defeat at Snizort and is condemned to die a brutish death as a slave - hauling ironclad clankers out of the battlefield mire until his heart bursts under the strain.
