Sinopsis

This book examines the ideological affinity that can be established between the classical 'Bildungsroman' and colonialist ideology on the basis of a literary analysis of 'Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre'—considered by most critics to be the origin of the genre—and 'Great Expectations'—one of the paradigmatic examples of the development of the Bildungsroman in English literature. This ideological affinity is understood as an example of what the Palestinian critic Edward Said has called a 'structure of attitude and reference': the convergence of different cultural manifestations that, although formally independent, contribute to a common purpose. The monograph also undertakes a study of the main characteristics of the classical 'Bildungsroman' from a formal and thematic point of view, and an analysis of the relationship between genre theories and Eurocentric discourses.

    Psychological intimidation refers to the use of mental tactics to instill fear, compliance, or submission in others. Unlike physical intimidation, which involves overt threats or aggressive behavior, psychological intimidation operates on a more subtle, covert level. It involves manipulating emotions, perceptions, and thought processes to control or influence an individual’s actions, often without them realizing they are being intimidated. This form of intimidation can be just as harmful as physical aggression, as it undermines the victim’s sense of security, autonomy, and well-being. 
    At its core, psychological intimidation is about the exertion of power. The intimidator uses fear or the threat of harm—whether real or perceived—to influence or dominate another person. It is often used in relationships, workplaces, and social dynamics where there is an imbalance of power. This type of intimidation can be subtle, often taking the form of guilt-tripping, manipulation, isolation, or the use of authority to control another’s behavior. It might include behaviors like silent treatment, constant criticism, gaslighting, or passive-aggressive actions, all designed to make the victim feel inadequate, fearful, or uncertain. 
    The effects of psychological intimidation are often long-lasting. Victims may experience anxiety, depression, and a diminished sense of self-worth. Over time, the individual may begin to question their own judgment, doubt their abilities, or feel that they are powerless to make decisions without the approval of the intimidator. This can create a cycle where the victim is more susceptible to future manipulation or control, reinforcing the power dynamic.

    The Art Of War - The Classic...

    Lionel Giles, Sun Tzu

    There are many versions of this work in English, and it is included as a useful reflection once one has pondered Daoism’s key texts. The title is properly ‘'Sun Tzu's Military Method'. It was written at the time of the Dao and Zhuang Zi, several centuries before the Lieh Tzu. For fifteen hundred years, it was part of China’s canonical strategic anthology, which became known as the Seven Military Classics.In modern Anglophone culture it is often the only strategic text someone has read, supplanting and exceeding the previous dominant strategic text (von Clausewitz’s On War, 1832, tr. 1874). Leaders from Mao Zedong and Takeda Shingen to Võ Nguyên Giáp and Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. have explicitly acknowledged the book’s influence on them. This translation is notably the second major version of it in English. It follows a translation by Everard Ferguson Calthrop that Giles found deeply contemptible, as one can see from the introduction. It is important to note that most scholars do not consider the Art of War one of the classic Daoist texts. While it is a product and application of the philosophy, it is more of an exegetical monograph than a consideration of the philosophical underpinnings of Daoism. Much like the Zhuang Zi, it takes the core ideas and realizes them in specific practical situations. It does so with such certainty that many contest it as a ‘true’ Daoist work. As you will see from the discussions embedded elsewhere, the key Daoist texts value contradiction and paradox far too much to be as procedurally simple as the Art of War is.It is not clear that this criticism is fair, however. A much kinder perspective is that Daoism’s great failure is in its apparent lack of any utilitarian or social value. While Confucianism provides a balance, Sun Tzu’s work attempts to build a more practical version of Daoism than the key texts allow for.

    Peacefulness - Finding Serenity...

    Peacefulness is often viewed as a state of being calm and free from disturbance, but its true nature goes much deeper. It is not just the absence of noise, chaos, or stress; it is a profound inner state that arises from balance and harmony within oneself. To understand peacefulness, it is essential to recognize that it is not a passive experience. It requires conscious effort, self-awareness, and intentional practice. 
    At its core, peacefulness is a state of mind. It is about finding tranquility within oneself, irrespective of external circumstances. While external factors such as a quiet environment or a peaceful community may contribute to our sense of peace, the ultimate source of serenity lies within. True peacefulness is not fleeting or dependent on situations. It is a lasting quality that can remain even in the face of challenges. 
    A peaceful person is someone who has cultivated the ability to remain centered in the midst of life’s inevitable ups and downs. This kind of peace is not about escaping from the world or disengaging from responsibilities. Instead, it is about responding to life’s demands with grace, clarity, and composure. A person at peace is able to accept the present moment, without clinging to the past or fearing the future.

    The Plague Years - A Doctor’s...

    In 1992, Dr. Ross A. Slotten signed more death certificates in Chicago—and, by inference, the state of Illinois—than anyone else. As a family physician, he was trained to care for patients from birth to death, but when he completed his residency in 1984, he had no idea that many of his future patients would be cut down in the prime of their lives. Among those patients were friends, colleagues, and lovers, shunned by most of the medical community because they were gay and HIV positive. Slotten wasn’t an infectious disease specialist, but because of his unique position as both a gay man and a young physician, he became an unlikely pioneer, swept up in one of the worst epidemics in modern history. 
     
    Plague Years is an unprecedented first-person account of that epidemic, spanning not just the city of Chicago but four continents as well. Slotten provides an intimate yet comprehensive view of the disease’s spread alongside heartfelt portraits of his patients and his own conflicted feelings as a medical professional, drawn from more than thirty years of personal notebooks. In telling the story of someone who was as much a potential patient as a doctor, Plague Years sheds light on the darkest hours in the history of the LGBT community in ways that no previous medical memoir has.

    'Lyrical and uncompromising - Suhaiymah writes to disrupt' - gal-dem 
    Islamophobia is everywhere. It is a narrative and history woven so deeply into our everyday lives that we don’t even notice it – in our education, how we travel, our healthcare, legal system and at work. Behind the scenes it affects the most vulnerable, at the border and in prisons. Despite this, the conversation about Islamophobia is relegated to microaggressions and slurs. 
    In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by the author, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan reveals how Islamophobia not only lives under the skin of those who it marks, but is an international political project designed to divide people in the name of security, in order to materially benefit global stakeholders. It can only be truly uprooted when we focus not on what it is but what it does. 
    Tangled in Terror shows that until the most marginalised Muslims are safe, nobody is safe.
