Beschreibung

"Ancient Curses" explores the historical prevalence of curses across cultures, examining cursed objects, places, and figures. It delves into historical accounts, folklore, and mythology to understand how societies have perceived and feared malevolent forces throughout time. The book argues that beliefs in curses, though often seen as superstition, reflect a society's values, fears, and worldview. For example, the Hope Diamond's history is intertwined with tales of misfortune, illustrating the perceived power of cursed objects. The book progresses by categorizing curses, starting with cursed objects and moving to cursed places like battlefields associated with tragic events and then examining cursed figures such as the Kennedys. It connects these beliefs to fields like folklore studies and anthropology, providing a comprehensive view of how curses have shaped cultural history and belief. The approach contextualizes these beliefs within broader historical narratives, making it accessible to readers interested in history, mythology, and the supernatural.

    Coming across the term "art monster" in Jenny Offill's 2014 novel Dept. of Speculation, Lauren Elkin was intrigued. What kinds of connections might there be between art and monstrosity, and how was it different when the artist in question was a woman? 
     
     
     
    Art Monsters is a landmark feminist intervention in the way we think about women's stories and bodies, calling attention to a radical genealogy of feminist art that not only reacts against patriarchy but redefines its own aesthetic aims. Exploring a rich lineage of visual artists, thinkers, and writers, Elkin examines the ways feminists have confronted the problem of how to tell the truth of their experiences as bodies. Queer bodies, sick bodies, raced bodies, female bodies: What are the languages of the body, and what are the materials we need to transcribe them? Above all, how can we use the notion of the feminist "art monster" to shape how we live our lives? 
     
     
     
    Writing in the tradition of Susan Sontag and Maggie Nelson, Elkin demonstrates her power as a cultural critic in this erudite and engaging book. From Kara Walker's silhouettes to Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's trilingual masterpiece Dictee, Art Monsters daringly weaves links between disparate artists and writers, and shows that their work offers a potent defense of beauty and excess, sentiment and touch, ambiguity and opacity.

    Winner of the Frank Watson Book Prize
    The legendary Scottish king Máel Coluim III, also known as 'Malcolm Canmore', is often held to epitomise Scotland's 'ancient Gaelic kings'. But Máel Coluim and his dynasty were in fact newcomers, and their legitimacy and status were far from secure at the beginning of his rule. Máel Coluim's long reign from 1058 until 1093 coincided with the Norman Conquest of England, a revolutionary event that presented great opportunities and terrible dangers. Although his interventions in post-Conquest England eventually cost him his life, the book argues that they were crucial to his success as both king and dynasty-builder, creating internal stability and facilitating the takeover of Strathclyde and Lothian. As a result, Máel Coluim left to his successors a territory that stretched far to the south of the kingship's heartland north of the Forth, similar to the Scotland we know today.
    The book explores the wider political and cultural world in which Máel Coluim lived, guiding the reader through the pitfalls and possibilities offered by the sources that mediate access to that world. Our reliance on so few texts means that the eleventh century poses problems that historians of later eras can avoid. Nevertheless Scotland in Máel Coluim's time generated unprecedented levels of attention abroad and more vernacular literary output than at any time prior to the Stewart era.

    Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It is often considered a fundamental aspect of human connection, influencing how we relate to those around us. Whether it's offering a comforting word, understanding someone’s pain, or celebrating another's joy, empathy allows us to build meaningful relationships. It is more than just recognizing another person’s emotions; it involves feeling with them and, when appropriate, offering support. In a world where individuals often experience feelings of isolation or disconnection, empathy is a bridge that can bring people closer. 
    Empathy is not simply an emotional reaction; it is a skill that can be nurtured and developed. It plays a key role in many aspects of life, from personal relationships to professional environments. In fact, research has shown that individuals with a higher level of empathy are often better at problem-solving and conflict resolution. By understanding others' emotions, they are more likely to approach situations with sensitivity and tact, which leads to better outcomes in both personal and professional settings. 
    The science behind empathy is fascinating. Studies in neuroscience have revealed that when we experience empathy, certain areas of our brain light up, particularly the regions involved in emotional processing. This means that empathy is not just a learned behavior, but something deeply ingrained in our biological makeup. It involves both the emotional brain, which processes feelings, and the cognitive brain, which helps us interpret and understand those feelings. This dual process allows us to connect with others in a way that goes beyond intellectual understanding, allowing us to resonate with their experiences on a deeper, more personal level.
