Men's Changing Roles in the Family
Author: Robert A Lewis
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317953932
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
How are men reacting to, perceiving, and behaving in light of the changes in gender roles. Here is an important volume that provides new and interesting reading about contemporary husbands and fathers. Men’s Changing Roles in the Family, offers an overview of the causes and consequences of changes in men’s family roles in recent decades. Experts introduce you to the issues, problems, and methods on the cutting edge of those disciplines that study men in the context of their families. Until now relatively little has been known empirically about men in contemporary families, and even less has been known about husbands and fathers from direct reports of the men themselves. This groundbreaking volume successfully closes this gap in the literature with an examination of the effects that fathers’growing involvement with their children have on their wives and themselves; a clinical assessment of some men’s angry reactions to separation and divorce and those special therapeutic goals and strategies that may help reduce their distress; examinations of the conflicting demands of the work world and the family upon some contemporary husbands and fathers and the negative effects of nonstandard work schedules upon men’s family life; and an examination of factors that make many men unhappy in patriarchal family structures. Men’s Changing Roles in the Family also contributes toward breaking new ground by examining family roles now performed by special groups of men. Finally, this important volume reports empirical findings about men in family-like relationships, illustrating evidence for the unique roles that male caregivers can offer children in day-care centers and reviewing current empirical studies of men’s friendships and their development.

The Castrato
Author: Martha Feldman
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520292448
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
The Castrato is a nuanced exploration of why innumerable boys were castrated for singing between the mid-sixteenth and late-nineteenth centuries. It shows that the entire foundation of Western classical singing, culminating in bel canto, was birthed from an unlikely and historically unique set of desires, public and private, aesthetic, economic, and political. In Italy, castration for singing was understood through the lens of Catholic blood sacrifice as expressed in idioms of offering and renunciation and, paradoxically, in satire, verbal abuse, and even the symbolism of the castrato’s comic cousin Pulcinella. Sacrifice in turn was inseparable from the system of patriarchy—involving teachers, patrons, colleagues, and relatives—whereby castrated males were produced not as nonmen, as often thought nowadays, but as idealized males. Yet what captivated audiences and composers—from Cavalli and Pergolesi to Handel, Mozart, and Rossini—were the extraordinary capacities of castrato voices, a phenomenon ultimately unsettled by Enlightenment morality. Although the castrati failed to survive, their musicality and vocality have persisted long past their literal demise.

My Delightfully Dysfunctional Family
Author: Loraine C. Hartley
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525578278
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
THIS BOOK I S RIDICULOUS! IT IS A FUNNY, EMOTIONAL, AND INSPIRING STORY ABOUT ME AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS, OLD, NEW, AND ALL –INCLUSIVE. The title, “My Delightfully Dysfunctional Family,” got stuck inside my head and refused to go away, so I decided to write a book. Once I started, I could not stop, so I kept writing, and this compelling story was unwrapped. The book begins in 1972 when my dad created a “blended family” by getting married a second time, to a woman who had a daughter from a previous marriage. It ends in 2019 when he died, at the ripe old age of 93. We each chose our own paths, as we were forced to navigate our individual ways through the next generation of divorce and deception. I chose Jesus Christ to lead me through the failures in my life, and I discovered that by doing what the Bible told me to do in each situation, I was able to turn my failures into successes. Many people who know me wanted to hear my story, and suggested that I put my experiences to words, and share them with the world, so I did.
