Book Description
Murder, ghosts, and runway modeling. The basic ingredients: a wealthy 34-year-old gym junkie doctor with a taste for steroids; a pompous and tarnished English ex-pat with a master's in expediency; a successful, sexy young Vietnamese artist; a glamorous if somewhat nosy female neighbour; a gorgeous, ambitious young country stud of uncertain sexuality; the ghost of a Jewish architect from the 1930s ... and a withered society hostess with a secret. Beneath all the fun and glamour, this is really a story about the nature of prejudice and how people might attempt to defy it by accumulating wealth or scrambling for respectable positions. Yet, all are ultimately vulnerable.

Pages : 204
Book Description
Mother by day, Dominatrix by night. When a cash-strapped single mother of two in suburban Melbourne has a fun idea to start a side hustle running workshops for hens' parties, she has no idea it will lead her on a surreal adventure (or twenty) through the debaucherous underground world of kink clubs and swingers' parties. Nor does she know that it will bring her out on the other end as one of Australia's most recognised Dominatrixes. Complete with celebrity encounters and lessons in kink, love, and parenthood, she shows us how having multiple identities is not only possible, but incredible, and that some mums really are superheroes - they might just use their rope and masks in a different way than you'd expect.

Who's Laughing Now?
Author: Jenny Sunden
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262044722
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
Exploring feminist social media tactics that use humor as a form of resistance to misogyny, the affective dynamics of shame, shaming, and shamelessness. Online sexism, hate, and harassment aim to silence women through shaming and fear. In Who's Laughing Now? Jenny Sundén and Susanna Paasonen examine a somewhat counterintuitive form of resistance: humor. Sundén and Paasonen argue that feminist social media tactics that use humor, laughter, and a sense of the absurd to answer name-calling, offensive language, and unsolicited dick pics can rewire the affective circuits of sexual shame and acts of shaming. Using laughter as both a theme and a methodological tool, Sundén and Paasonen explore examples of the subversive deployment of humor that range from @assholesonline to the Tumblr “Congrats, you have an all-male panel!” They consider the distribution and redistribution of shame, discuss Hannah Gadsby's Nanette, and describe tactical retweeting and commenting (as practiced by Stormy Daniels, among others). They explore the appropriation of terms meant to hurt and insult—for example, self-proclaimed Finnish “tolerance whores”—and what effect this rerouting of labels may have. They are interested not in lulz (amusement at another's expense)—not in what laughter pins down, limits, or suppresses but rather in what grows with and in it. The contagiousness of laughter drives the emergence of networked forms of feminism, bringing people together (although it may also create rifts). Sundén and Paasonen break new ground in exploring the intersection of networked feminism, humor, and affect, arguing for the political necessity of inappropriate laughter.
