Sinossi

The Kama Sutra, is an ancient Indian text widely considered to be the standard work on human sexual behavior in Sanskrit literature written by the Indian scholar Vatsyayana. A portion of the work consists of practical advice on sex. Kāma means sensual or sexual pleasure, and sūtra are the guidlines of yoga, the word itself means thread in Sanskrit.

The Kama Sutra is the oldest and most notable of a group of texts known generically as Kama Shastra). Traditionally, the first transmission of Kama Shastra or "Discipline of Kama" is attributed to Nandi the sacred bull, Shiva's doorkeeper, who was moved to sacred utterance by overhearing the lovemaking of the god and his wife Parvati and later recorded his utterances for the benefit of mankind.

    License to kill - Gaza: genocide...

    The silence on the genocidal situation in Gaza is questionable. How can we explain the double standard when we compare the - legitimate - indignation provoked by the Russian bombing of the Ukraine with the omerta surrounding the bombing of a civilian population under blockade? Beyond the problem of certain community institutions, there is a cocktail of feelings of guilt, cultural solidarity, fear of or hostility to Islam, a threat of terrorism linked to Islam, colonial memories that have not been properly digested, and adherence to the concept of the clash of civilizations, which explains the widespread support in the media and among politicians for the actions of the Israeli government. The aim of this book is to analyze this genocidal situation and to show that this guilty silence is a strategic error for France and, more generally, for Western countries.

    Talking Down The Clock - and...

    Talking Down The Clock is Seamus Cashman's fifth volume of poetry. It follows his 2015 ekphrastic book-length poem, The Sistine Gaze, from which this following quotation is taken: 
    "We are lovers of the earth, not its spouses bound or bought. We are siblings of the stars, sating history's well. Lovers live in beauty's orbit, bypassing time. We change words to love all over again; we mould our shadows with pigments; we make alternatives." (Verse 130, The Sistine Gaze) 
    Cashman Appreciated that TIME was the key challenge, and ventured two poetic sequences, intending to follow where they might lead. These sequences, 'Notebook Exits' and 'Daily Breaks', find time becoming a circus master and cracking the whip daily. Between these sequences are poems for young readersm and lyrics of people, places and sorrow each reflecting Palestine's endurance. 
    In his early collections there was a focis on village life and personal mythologies, the poet found 'fire crackling faggots / at my feet / I inhaled it's fragrance / and forgave myself. / I still could see.'. Now he seeks within, threading the ordinary through the abstract, linking the human via buttonholes of experience, philosophy and the uncertain, clearly enjoying what is encountered enroute. He relishes experiment, as in 'To The Naked Women In The Far Window', 'Be Still', 'Owl', 'Composition', 'Fractalities', 'Catastrophe Turnings' and others. 
    This collection's title poem is a spiral of excitement and image, leading readers through time's impositions and confusions – seeking to seize and to size it, facing the impossibility of ignoring it. We taste how to 'Just Be' as we observe time abseiling life within us to its own rhythms.
