Beschreibung

In "William Sharp (Fiona Macleod)," Elizabeth A. Sharp delves into the dual identities of one of Scotland's most enigmatic literary figures. Sharp's exploration of the life and works of William Sharp, who wrote under the pseudonym Fiona Macleod, is both an illuminating biography and a critical examination of literary identity in the late 19th century. The narrative is richly detailed, employing a blend of historical analysis and literary critique that captures the complexities of Sharp's dual existence as a man and as a female voice in literature. Sharp's writing is imbued with scholarly rigor, yet accessible, blending narrative elegance with meticulous research that situates William Sharp within the broader context of the Celtic Revival and the era's shifting gender dynamics in literature. Elizabeth A. Sharp, an accomplished literary scholar, draws on her extensive knowledge of Celtic studies and gender theory to provide a nuanced perspective on her subject. Her research underscores the significance of Sharp's work in the conversation surrounding authorship and gender, informed by her own background in examining the intersections of literature and identity. Sharp'Äôs dedication to uncovering the complexities behind literary personas positions her as an essential voice in modern literary scholarship. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricate interplay of identity, gender, and literature. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Sharp's work enlightening; it not only captures the essence of William Sharp but also provokes thought regarding the broader implications of literary personas. Elizabeth A. Sharp invites readers to reconsider familiar narratives and look deeper into the rich tapestry of literary history.

    Understanding Deleuze

    The name Deleuze is associated with strange concepts (desiring machines, ritornello, war machine or lines of flight). However, these impressive notions can be explained simply, once we have the intuition that organizes his work. This work gives us access to an understanding of the thread that ties Deleuze's thought together, particularly through literary characters such as Bartleby, Lancelot and the Princess of Cleves. Deleuze thus appears as non-dogmatic, himself open to variation and to the invention of a multiplicity of possible meanings of life.

    Make Yourselves Gods - Mormons...

    From the perspective of Protestant America, nineteenth-century Mormons were the victims of a peculiar zealotry, a population deranged––socially, sexually, even racially––by the extravagances of belief they called “religion.” Make Yourselves Gods offers a counter-history of early Mormon theology and practice, tracking the Saints from their emergence as a dissident sect to their renunciation of polygamy at century’s end. 
      
    Over these turbulent decades, Mormons would appear by turns as heretics, sex-radicals, refugees, anti-imperialists, colonizers, and, eventually, reluctant monogamists and enfranchised citizens. Reading Mormonism through a synthesis of religious history, political theology, native studies, and queer theory, Peter Coviello deftly crafts a new framework for imagining orthodoxy, citizenship, and the fate of the flesh in nineteenth-century America. What emerges is a story about the violence, wild beauty, and extravagant imaginative power of this era of Mormonism—an impassioned book with a keen interest in the racial history of sexuality and the unfinished business of American secularism.

    In October of 1949, a few months after publication of George Orwell‘s masterpiece, Nineteen Eighty-Four, he received a letter from fellow author Aldous Huxley, a man who, 17 years previous, had seen his own nightmarish vision of society published in the form of the classic, Brave New World. What begins as a letter of praise soon becomes a brief comparison of the two novels, and an explanation as to why Huxley believes his own earlier work to be a more realistic prediction. It should be noted that in 1917, long before he wrote this letter, Aldous Huxley briefly taught Orwell French at Eton College in Berkshire.

    Before you spend up to $75,000 in hidden child-adoption fees, adult adoptees worldwide have investigated the history of domestic and international adoption and have started a movement to end the crisis of child trafficking. You can gain a bird's-eye view on adoption secrets before you transfer funds to the adoption agency. This information is available for a short time only. 
    This research book has been divided into four short, easy-to-read sections, revealing the making of the current child welfare system throughout time: starting in Europe (referred to as the European Child Migration Schemes); then spreading to America (known as the Orphan Train Movement); into Asia (called the Evangelical Baby "Swoop" Era), to what's trending today: Africa. 
    The pioneers who built and profited from the industry continue to deny adoptees access to documents that could lead them back to their families. This book protects you against adoption profiteers and traffickers who profess God is on their side. It summarizes the inception and expansion of the adoption industry, focusing on its roots and consequences kept from public awareness. Discover the history of adoption from another angle--a view adoption agencies will never tell you. The findings have been called mind-blowing! 
    How would you like to be given a new identity and removed from your siblings--never to be permitted to contact them again, even upon death? This is just one of many red tape adoptees are forced to contend with because of adoption. Inspired by a Haitian adoptee who died of heart failure after learning that he had been trafficked to France for overseas adoption but was never able to acquire justice. NOT recommended for adoption profiteers, anti-abortion fundamentalists, evangelicals, or individuals against equal rights for adult adoptees. Available in a textbook format as Adoption History: An Adoptee's Research into Child Trafficking (VANCE).

    Excessive control is a form of domination in which one individual or entity seeks to regulate another’s thoughts, actions, and decisions to an unhealthy degree. While some level of structure and guidance is necessary in various aspects of life, such as in parenting, leadership, and governance, excessive control crosses the line into coercion, manipulation, and restriction of personal freedom. This type of control can occur in different settings, including personal relationships, workplaces, political systems, and even media influence. 
    At its core, excessive control is often driven by fear, insecurity, or the desire for power. Those who exert extreme control may believe that they are acting in the best interest of others, while in reality, they strip individuals of autonomy and self-determination. This behavior can manifest in different ways, such as micromanaging, imposing rigid rules, discouraging independent thinking, or using emotional, psychological, or even physical tactics to ensure compliance. Over time, the person being controlled may experience anxiety, self-doubt, and a loss of confidence in their ability to make choices. 
    In personal relationships, excessive control can take the form of possessiveness, constant monitoring, and manipulation. A controlling partner may demand to know every detail of the other person’s life, limit their interactions with others, or make decisions on their behalf. Similarly, in family settings, parents or guardians who exert too much control over their children may prevent them from developing independence, leading to long-term emotional and psychological struggles.
