Beschreibung

Genre Cross Points explores the increasing integration of LGBTQ+ themes within genre fiction, particularly in graphic novels and comics. It investigates how these narratives reflect and influence societal perceptions of identity, sexuality, and representation. The book demonstrates how LGBTQ+ representation has evolved from early, often coded, appearances to today's diverse and explicit narratives, highlighting how genre fiction offers a unique space for exploring complex issues and challenging heteronormative assumptions. For instance, the book analyzes how LGBTQ+ characters, often relegated to the sidelines, take center stage in these narratives, subverting expectations. The book examines specific examples across genres like fantasy, science fiction, romance, and horror, critically analyzing narrative strategies and character development. It also considers the social and political contexts shaping these representations, such as the impact of the AIDS crisis and the fight for marriage equality. Structured in three sections, Genre Cross Points first introduces key concepts, then offers detailed analyses of specific works, and finally synthesizes findings to discuss implications for LGBTQ+ visibility and social change. The book approaches information with an academic yet accessible tone, making it valuable for scholars, educators, creators, and anyone interested in the power of storytelling.

    History's 9 Most Insane Rulers

    Madness and Power. 
      
    Can the insane rule? Can insanity be a leadership quality? Scott Rank says yes (well, sometimes) in this fascinating look at nine of history’s most notorious rulers, from the Roman emperor Caligula to the North Korean Communist dictator Kim Jong-il. 
      
    Rank paints intimate portraits of these deeply flawed but powerful men, examining the role that madness played in their lives, the repercussions of their madness on history, and what their madness can tell us about the times in which they lived. 
      
    In History’s 9 Most Insane Rulers, you will meet: 
      
    • King Charles VI of France, who thought he was made of glass 
    • Sultan Ibrahim I, who was driven mad by the sadistic succession battles of the Ottoman Empire 
    • Caligula, who built temples to himself and whose reign highlighted the lethal tensions between the power of the new Imperial Rome and the prerogatives of the old Roman Republic 
    • The Russian tsar who became known as Ivan “the Terrible” 
    • King George III of Britain, who not only lost his American colonies, but lost his mind as well 
    • Bavaria’s “Mad” King Ludwig II, who left the world richer for his fabulous fairy tale castles and his patronage of the composer Richard Wagner 
      
    Insane rulers did not die off with the last of the mad monarchs who inherited their power. Rank also examines the rise to power of crazed modern rulers, such as Idi Amin, who began as a lowly army cook and rose to the presidency of Uganda, and Saparmurat Niyazov, who ruled Turkmenistan and promoted a bizarre cult of personality around himself. 
      
    Both entertaining and illuminating, History’s 9 Most Insane Rulers is a must-read for anyone interested in the role insanity has played in history.

    From the wind-swept plains of Anshan to the terraced palaces of Persepolis, Founding an Empire follows how a cluster of royal ambitions became the ancient world’s most sophisticated superstate. Opening with Cyrus the Great’s audacious conquests and his radical politics of legitimacy—liberation, local autonomy, and measured mercy—the narrative moves through Cambyses II’s Egyptian campaign at the edge of the known world and into the turbulence of succession that nearly cracked the young empire. It culminates with Darius I’s disciplined counterrevolution: a reforming king who turned roads, taxes, languages, and law into a scalable system.

    Fool - In Search of Henry VIII's...

    Peter K. Andersson

    In some portraits of Henry VIII there appears another figure—a gaunt and morose-looking man with a shaved head. This is William or "Will" Somer, the king's fool, a celebrated wit who reportedly could raise Henry's spirits and spent many hours with him. Was Somer an "artificial fool," a cunning comic who could speak freely in front of the king, or a "natural fool," someone with intellectual disabilities, like many other members of the profession? Fool is the first biography of Somer—and perhaps the first of a Renaissance fool. 
     
     
     
    After his death, Somer disappeared, and historians struggled to separate myth from reality. Unearthing as many facts as possible, Peter K. Andersson pieces together the fullest picture yet of an enigmatic and unusual man with a strange job. Somer's story provides new insights into how fools lived and what they did for a living, how monarchs and courtiers related to commoners and people with disabilities, and whether aspects of the Renaissance fool live on in the modern comedian. But most of all, we learn how a commoner without property or education managed to become the court's chief mascot and a continuous presence at the center of Tudor power. 
     
     
     
    Fool reveals a little-known world, surprising and disturbing, when comedy was something crueler and more unpleasant than we like to think.
