Sinopsis

"Portrait Narratives" explores how authors have crafted identity through literary portraiture, revealing much about both the subject and the society in which they were created. This comprehensive analysis examines techniques used to shape character perceptions and convey cultural meanings. Literary portraits, it argues, are active constructions reflecting individual subjectivity and social ideologies. For instance, the book delves into how physical descriptions, inner monologues, and social interactions are employed to construct character, further exploring how unreliable narrators can skew these portraits, revealing more about themselves. The book traces the evolution of literary portraiture from ancient texts to modern novels, highlighting changes in style and purpose. It analyzes how portraits reflect societal values, biases, and power dynamics, offering a unique perspective on the interplay between literature, identity, and history. Through close readings of literary texts and historical research, the book progresses by first introducing literary portraiture and its historical development, with later chapters analyzing specific works across periods and genres. It concludes by discussing the implications of these portraits for understanding identity formation and social justice.

Body Horror - Capitalism Fear...

Anne Elizabeth Moore

Whether for entertainment, under the guise of medicine, or to propel consumerism, heinous acts are perpetrated daily on women’s bodies. In Body Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes, award-winning journalist Anne Elizabeth Moore catalogs the global toll of capitalism on our physical autonomy. Weaving together unflinching research and surprising humor, these essays range from investigative—probing the Cambodian garment industry, the history of menstrual products, or the gender biases of patent law—to uncomfortably intimate. Informed by her own navigation of several autoimmune diagnoses, Moore examines what it takes to seek care and community in the increasingly complicated, problematic, and disinterested US healthcare system. 
 
A Lambda Literary Award finalist and a Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction Award shortlist title, Body Horror is “sharp, shocking, and darkly funny. . . . Brainy and historically informed, this collection is less a rallying cry or a bitter diatribe than a series of irreverent and ruthlessly accurate jabs at a culture that is slowly devouring us” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Featuring an updated introduction and new essays, as well as illustrations by Xander Marro, this new edition of Body Horror is a fascinating, insightful portrait of the gore that encapsulates contemporary American politics.

Human nature is a related concept but nevertheless  a bit different, as it  denotes the fundamental dispositions and characteristics—including ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—that humans are said to have naturally.

Enduring Art Active Faith - 3...

Robert G. Proudfoot

The audiobook version of "Enduring Art, Active Faith - 3 Generations Create!" , recorded by Robert G. Proudfoot in April 2023 through Audivita, is an abridged version of the print book by the same name, which was previously published by Robert G. Proudfoot in February 2019 through FriesenPress Inc. The audiobook is comprised of two fictional short stories taken from the print book: "The Guard", and "Half and Half", written originally by Robert G. Proudfoot and Norma Proudfoot, respectively.  
     "The Guard" tells of an unlikely friendship that develops between an expatriate English schoolboy (James Greenburgh) and an African night watchman (Winter Banda), hired to guard the Greenburgh's home in Lusaka, Zambia while James' diplomat father is away in Great Britain, negotiating with Rhodesian and British Governments and black nationalist groups, towards transition to African majority rule for the break-away British colony during the turbulent early 1970s. In "Half and Half", an aging military veteran re-examines the satisfying life he has gained despite difficulties experienced - even with ongoing poverty,  want, and conflict in the world - after he encounters a little boy during the Christmas season in a busy Edmonton shopping mall, who despite so young is coping with disappointments and seeking answers for life's complexities.
