Subjectified is a book about subjects, objects, and verbs. It is also a book about clothing-optional resorts, masturbation circles, and sex parties. Suzannah Weiss takes the listener through her adventures as a sex and relationship writer to explore how we can create a world with less objectification and more subjectification—placing women and other marginalized groups in the subject role of sentences and actions. Offering a deeply personal critique of sexual empowerment movements, Weiss presents a way forward that focuses on what women desire, not what men desire from them. Subjectified calls for women everywhere to inhabit their bodies and hearts—to look through their own eyes and speak as "I." The book is for everybody wanting to understand themselves as subjects. Wholeheartedly, the author invites you to follow her search for subjecthood and, should you desire, forge your own path out of objecthood.Zum Buch
A knight is a person who has been granted the honorary title of knighthood by a head of state, including a monarch or the Pope, in recognition of their service to the ruler, the church, or the nation, often in a military capacity. The origins of knighthood can be traced back to classical antiquity, where similar figures existed in ancient Greece and Rome, such as the Greek hippeis and hoplite, as well as the Roman eques and centurion. Knighthood first emerged among mounted soldiers in Europe during the Early Middle Ages. At this time, it was typically associated with those who fought in battles on horseback, a hallmark of the knightly class. During the High Middle Ages, the concept of knighthood evolved, and it became increasingly seen as a position held by lesser aristocrats. It was no longer just about military service but also connected with ideals of chivalry, a code of conduct that governed the behavior of Christian warriors, particularly those involved in courtly matters. By the Late Middle Ages, a knight had come to represent the archetypal courtly Christian warrior, combining military prowess with a sense of honor and duty. Knights were often vassals to powerful lords, serving as elite combatants, bodyguards, or even commanders of military forces in exchange for land or other forms of patronage. They had a special relationship with their lords, who relied on their skills, particularly in mounted combat, to protect their interests and defend their territories. This connection between knights and horseback riding is reflected in many words associated with knighthood, such as "chivalry," "cavalier," and other related terms. In this context, the knightly status in Christendom parallels the military class known as the furusiyya in the Islamic world.Zum Buch
Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most influential figures in world history, rose from modest beginnings to become the emperor of France and the master of much of Europe. Born on August 15, 1769, on the island of Corsica, Napoleon came from a relatively modest family. His father, a lawyer, was part of the minor nobility, but the family’s wealth was limited. Despite these humble origins, Napoleon's extraordinary ambition, sharp intellect, and relentless drive would propel him into the center of European politics, shaping the future of the continent. Napoleon’s early life was marked by education at military academies, where his talent for strategy and leadership quickly became apparent. At the age of 16, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the French army. His rise through the ranks coincided with the turmoil of the French Revolution, which fundamentally altered France and its political landscape. In 1789, the French Revolution erupted, dismantling the monarchy and challenging traditional structures of power. It was in this chaotic period that Napoleon saw his opportunity. During the Revolution, Napoleon initially made his name through his military prowess, especially during the Italian Campaign in the late 1790s. His innovative tactics and leadership were crucial in securing French victories against Austria and its allies. These victories not only increased Napoleon’s reputation but also solidified his status as one of France’s most brilliant generals. By 1799, France was embroiled in political instability, and the government—the Directory—was weakened by corruption and poor leadership. Amid this instability, Napoleon seized the moment to take control.Zum Buch
