While most theorists label the horror film as a male-driven/male-centered genre, Clover points out that in most horror films, especially the slasher film, the audience, male and female, is structurally ‘forced’ to identify with the resourceful young female (the Final Girl) who survives the serial attacker and usually ends the threat (until the sequel anyway). One of the book’s major points concerns the structural positioning of what she calls the Final Girl in relation to spectatorship. One of the more important, if not groundbreaking, accounts/recuperations of the horror film from a feminist perspective is Carol Clover’s Men, Women, and Chainsaw.

This book is all about The Resistance, and is broken into three parts: Defining the Enemy, Combatting Resistance, The Higher Realm. What keeps us from sitting down to write? The Resistance. “ There’s a secret that real writers know that wannabe writers don’t… It’s not the writing part that’s hard. But being able to write isn’t the be-all-and-end-all of actually writing a book. For example, if you want to be a writer, based on the fact that you’re reading this, you have the ability to read and write. The Wars of Art shows us that if you’re looking to achieve anything, especially something creative, you almost definitely have the skills and abilities to be able to do it. Joan, meanwhile, is destined for a mediocre career in his shadow, so she makes a getaway of her own. He then becomes an international celebrity and, thanks to his jaw-dropping talent, the darling of the dance world. In the 1970s, Joan has a brief but steamy affair with a Baryshnikov-esque Russian dancer, Arslan Rusakov, whose getaway car she drives during his defection from the Soviet Union. That’s what happens to the unremarkable Joan in Astonish Me, the second novel from Maggie Shipstead, a writer who made her promising debut with the WASP wedding romp Seating Arrangements. ( Black Swan, anybody? ) An unforgiving combination of art and athleticism, it chews up and spits out anyone who’s not young enough, talented enough, or driven enough to compensate for either. When you strip away the tutus, dainty shoes, and pas de deux, the world of ballet can be brutal. He had not been educated formally, but came to be respected and loved for his insights into the crux of human pain and the extraordinary usidity of his direct discourse. He taught that mind must recognize and penetrate its own state of being, "being this or that, here or that, then or now," but just timeless being.Ī simple man, Nisargadatta Maharaj, was a householder and petty shopkeeper in Bombay where he lived, and died in 1981 at the age of 84. It was his mission to guide the individual to an understanding of his true nature and the timelessness of being. The sage's sole concern was with human suffering and the ending of suffering. I Am That preserves Maharaj's dialogues with the followers who came from around the world seeking his guidance in destroying false identities. This collection of the timeless teachings of one of the greatest sages of India, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, is a testament to the uniqueness of the seer's life and work and is regarded by many as a "modern spiritual classic".

At the core of the book is a phrase that most have heard: “The medium is the message.” Understanding Media contained the simple prophecy that electronic media of the twentieth century-at the time consisting of telephone, radio, movies, television, but also including newer technologies like the Kindle, the Internet, the iPad-were breaking the traditional limitations of text over our thoughts and senses. Thanks to McLuhan’s ability to turn a phrase, Understanding Media is a work more talked about than read. Marshall McLuhan rocketed from an unknown academic to rockstar with the publication of Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man in 1964. This book also holds space for complicating factors, especially the ways that beauty standards differ across race, class, and culture. Johnson, Rae Nudson unpacks makeup’s cultural impact-including how it can be used to shape a personal or cultural narrative, how often beauty standards align with whiteness, how and when it can be used for safety, and its function in the workplace, to name a few examples.Įvery woman has had to make a very personal choice about her relationship with makeup, and consciously or unconsciously, every woman knows that the choice is never entirely hers to make. Through the stories of famous women like Cleopatra, Empress Wu, Madam C. Increasingly, people of all genders are wrestling with what it means to be a woman living in a patriarchy, and part of that is how looking like a woman-whatever that means-affects people’s real lives. There is a history and a cultural significance that comes with wearing cat-eye-inspired liner or a bold red lip, one that many women feel to this day, even if we don’t realize exactly why. A fascinating journey through history and culture, examining how makeup affects self-empowerment, how people have used it to define (and defy) their roles in society, and why we all need to care “When Parker was six, he didn’t have anything to eat for lunch and was too embarrassed to ask for a free school sandwich. There had to be a global rule about not crying when eating bacon. I tried not to let the thought get me down. The salty flavor of the bacon reminded me of the BLTs we’d had for lunch. Mikey nudged the plate of appetizers closer to me until I took one and popped it in my mouth. They’ve been best friends for a very long time, and I get why Julian’s scared that changing things would mess that up.” “I don’t understand why you two don’t just get together. Wouldn’t Parker have thought about that before he let anything happen?” Truman finished eating something wrapped in bacon before sliding the tray my way.
