Sinopse

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.

    The Jurchens, the ancestors of the Manchu people, emerged as a formidable force in northeastern Asia long before they established the Jin Dynasty. Originating from the forests and plains of Manchuria, they were a collection of semi-nomadic and agricultural tribes with a distinct culture, language, and way of life. Their society was organized into clans led by chieftains, and they engaged in hunting, fishing, and farming while maintaining a warrior tradition that would later define their military prowess. Although they lived independently, they often found themselves under the influence of stronger neighboring powers, including the Korean kingdoms and the Khitan-led Liao Dynasty. 
    The Liao Dynasty, which dominated much of northern China and Manchuria, exerted control over the Jurchens for centuries. The Khitan rulers forced them into a tributary system, requiring them to provide labor, furs, and horses in exchange for nominal autonomy. While this arrangement allowed the Jurchens to retain aspects of their culture, it also placed them in a subordinate position. However, resentment grew among the Jurchen clans, who viewed the Khitan overlords as oppressive rulers. This growing dissatisfaction set the stage for their eventual rebellion. 
    Despite their subjugation, the Jurchens developed a strong warrior tradition and mastered cavalry warfare, which would later give them an advantage over their adversaries. They organized themselves into tribal confederations and honed their skills in archery and horseback combat, making them formidable in battle. Their ability to adapt to different terrains, combined with their knowledge of the harsh northern climate, allowed them to maintain resilience and independence, even under Liao control. Over time, they also adopted elements of Chinese and Khitan governance, learning valuable administrative techniques that would later aid them in state-building.

    "Propaganda," penned by Edward Bernays in 1928, delves into the mechanics of shaping public opinion. Bernays, often dubbed the "father of public relations," argues that propaganda is an essential tool for guiding public thought in a democratic society. He outlines strategies for manipulating public perception, drawing from psychological and sociological principles. While his work is credited with pioneering modern public relations, it has also drawn criticism for its potential to be used for manipulation and control.

    This book consists of 2 titles, which are: 
    Heraclitus: Heraclitus of Ephesus, a pre-Socratic philosopher who lived in the 6th century BCE, remains one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of Western thought. Known for his cryptic sayings and profound insights into the nature of reality, Heraclitus' ideas have had a lasting influence on philosophy, science, and the arts. His philosophy, often centered around the concept of change, emphasized that everything in existence is in a constant state of flux. This view is encapsulated in one of his most famous quotes: "You cannot step into the same river twice." For Heraclitus, the essence of life and the universe lies in this unceasing transformation, where stability and change are not opposing forces but interconnected aspects of existence. 
    Pythagoras: As a philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras is perhaps best known for the Pythagorean Theorem, a fundamental principle in geometry that has influenced the study of mathematics for over two millennia. However, his impact extends far beyond the confines of geometry. Pythagoras is often credited with transforming numbers from mere tools of calculation into a system that mirrors the structure and harmony of the universe. For him, numbers were not just abstract symbols but the very essence of reality, governing everything from the motions of the stars to the patterns in music. His belief in the mystical and metaphysical significance of numbers laid the groundwork for later developments in philosophy, particularly the idea that the world is not a chaotic, random place but a cosmos governed by rational and harmonious principles.
