Sex and Repression in Savage...

Bronisław Malinowski

Bronislaw Malinowski's seminal work, "Sex and Repression in Savage Society," delves into the intricate dynamics of sexuality and societal control within primitive cultures. Published in 1927, this ethnographic study challenges prevailing Victorian notions of sexuality and sheds light on the nuanced ways in which indigenous societies navigate and regulate sexual behaviors. Malinowski's immersive fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands enables him to provide a rich anthropological account, exploring the role of rituals, customs, and taboos in shaping sexual practices. By examining the interplay between individual desires and communal norms, the author contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between sex and repression in societies that existed outside the purview of Western moral frameworks. Malinowski's groundbreaking insights continue to influence the fields of anthropology and cultural studies, prompting ongoing discussions about the universality of sexual behaviors and the impact of cultural context on human expression.

Golden Era of Hollywood’s Most...

Anonimo

The 1930s were, without a doubt, the height of the classical Hollywood era. It is no accident that 1939 has historically been designated as the pinnacle of Hollywood film history. The era was known for its lavish studio productions, with MGM, RKO, Warner Brothers, Paramount, and 20th Century Fox all operating at the height of their powers. Every major studio possessed a long roster of contract players, with films released at such a rapid pace that it made for an especially competitive environment within the industry. Even while America remained in the throes of the Great Depression, the film industry continued to flourish, and movies easily supplanted the theater as the main attraction for American entertainment. Indeed, it would be no exaggeration to claim that the film industry reached its zenith during the decade precisely because it offered an affordable (if very temporary) escape from the anxieties of the economic woes of the era. 
The 1930s were also a time in which Hollywood boasted an unprecedented array of famous leading men. Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, James Stewart, and Fred Astaire were just a handful of the A-list stars of the decade, along with star actresses like Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford. Perhaps it's no surprise that many actors and actresses had romances not just on the screen, but off of it as well, leading to some of the most memorable pop culture stories of the 20th century.

American Restraint - Taming...

Patrick Trepanier

AN IMPORTANT NEW BOOK ON HOW TO FIX AMERICA BY A POLITICAL OUTSIDER.
America is broken. America is divided. 80% of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track. And everything you need to know about the Divided States of America can be explained by two relentless forces: hyper-individualism and hyper-capitalism.
American Restraint explores how both hyper-individualism and hyper-capitalism are what is fundamentally ripping our country apart. Traditional solutions and status quo politicians can’t help us.
Patrick Trepanier is a powerful new voice addressing the real root causes and solutions for our divided country.
The first solution is in the Constitution…an Article V Convention of States. A Convention proposing three popular amendments: a balanced budget amendment, term limits for Congress, and limits to the power and jurisdiction of the federal government.
Then we need more “innovation and experimentation” by individual states to restrain the forces of hyper-individualism and hyper-capitalism.
American Restraint challenges decades of failed Democratic and Republican policies and calls for new pragmatic solutions that put the needs of children, families and communities first.
This groundbreaking new book also provides a framework to restore respect for religion, rebuild the middle class, restrain toxic consumerism, restore community trust, restrain the Wall Street Casino, restrain Big Tech’s control over our lives, reduce illegal competition for American jobs, promote resilience and service to help disadvantaged Americans.
American Restraint. The handbook to fix America.
