Flesh and Matter

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the tapestry of human existence, gender stands as an enigmatic thread, woven into the fabric of our identities, relationships, and societal structures. For centuries, the riddle of femininity has captivated and perplexed thinkers, leaving many questions unanswered.

This book delves into the enigma of femininity, exploring the complexities of Freud's theories and engaging with contemporary perspectives from gender studies, queer theory, and intersectionality. We journey through Freud's personal struggles, clinical observations, and groundbreaking ideas, examining how they shaped his understanding of femininity.

We uncover the profound influence of societal norms, cultural expectations, and unconscious desires on the formation of gender identity. We delve into the intricate relationship between gender and sexuality, examining how they intersect and diverge in the tapestry of human experience.

Venturing beyond Freud's framework, we engage with contemporary perspectives that shed new light on the enigma of femininity. These perspectives illuminate the fluidity of gender, the spectrum of sexual identities, and the power dynamics that shape our understanding of gender.

Our exploration takes us through the corridors of history, examining how gender roles have evolved over time and continue to be shaped by social, political, and economic forces. We explore the representation of gender in media, language, and education, uncovering how these institutions perpetuate and challenge traditional notions of femininity.

Ultimately, this book seeks to deepen our understanding of gender, not only as an abstract concept but as a lived experience. By delving into the enigma of femininity, we hope to gain a greater appreciation for the complexities of human identity and the multifaceted nature of the human condition.

Vicious and Immoral -...

John Gilbert McCurdy

On the eve of the American Revolution, the British army considered the case of a chaplain, Robert Newburgh, who had been accused of having sex with a man. Newburgh's enemies cited his flamboyant appearance, defiance of military authority, and seduction of soldiers as proof of his low character. His opponents claimed that these supposed crimes against nature translated to crimes against the king. 
 
 
 
In Vicious and Immoral, historian John McCurdy tells this compelling story of male intimacy and provides an unparalleled glimpse inside eighteenth-century perceptions of queerness. By demanding to have his case heard, Newburgh invoked Enlightenment ideals of equality, arguing passionately that his style of dress and manner should not affect his place in the army or society. His accusers equated queer behavior with rebellion, and his defenders would go on to join the American cause. Newburgh's trial offers some clues to understanding a peculiarity of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century: while gay acts were prohibited by law in much of the British empire, the newly formed United States was comparatively uninterested in legislating against same-sex intimacy. McCurdy imagines what life was like for a gay man in early America and captures the voices of those who loved and hated Newburgh, revealing how sexuality and revolution informed one another.

Born of the Water Born of the...

Ernest Martin

When the Holy Spirit reveled to the author, Ernest Martin, a veterinarian with a medical background, that the spiritual birth was identical to the physical birth, this revelation became a life-changing experience. People are always asking and seeking miracles. What is a greater miracle than a sperm uniting with an ovum (egg) and becoming a living cell with the potential to develop into a human being? That living cell (zygote) does not have any resemblance to a fetus. From the process of fertilization to the growth process, it is all programmed in the zygote to divide and multiply and to eventually liken to its mother or dad or a combination of both. 
Just like when we receive Jesus as our Savior, we become a whole spiritual being in the image of God. We don't look or act much like Jesus at this stage. We look more like the zygote, but we are complete in Jesus. If we desire the sincere milk of the Word and then progress to the meat of the Word, we will grow up into the full stature of Jesus. This process is so well-defined in the physical birth process that we can see how we grow as we spend time in the Word that we may eventually look and act like Jesus Christ. 
What a miracle and life-changing event to understand the growth process ordained and carried out by God Almighty.

Studies in Pessimism

Arthur Schopenhauer

"Studies in Pessimism" is a collection of philosophical essays by Arthur Schopenhauer, delving into his views on the nature of human existence, suffering, and the inevitability of pain and adversity in life. Schopenhauer explores the futility of human desires, the limitations of human intellect, and the relentless influence of the will on our actions. He presents a pessimistic outlook on the human condition, arguing that striving for inner peace through the renunciation of desires is the key to mitigating suffering and finding solace in a seemingly indifferent world. Read in English, unabridged.
