Anne Rice and Sexual Politics
Author: James R. Keller
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786481013
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
From the vampires Lestat and Louis to a sexually liberated Sleeping Beauty, novelist Anne Rice has created a host of characters who are notable for their paradoxical combinations of the deviant and the conventional. Exit to Eden, for example, ends with the sado-masochistic protagonists embarking on a traditional monogamous heterosexual relationship, while the vampires often long to exchange their erotic immortality for "ordinary" mortal lives and loves. This scholarly analysis of the seemingly incompatible elements of the subversive and the socially acceptable in Rice's early work covers her career from the landmark Interview with the Vampire (1976) to Lasher (1993). Each chapter tackles a different aspect of Rice's conflicting portrayals of sexual issues, including homophobia, pedophilia, castration anxiety, and the vast array of gender stereotypes and roles that her novels so often interpret and exploit. This study is appropriate both for readers of Rice's writing and those intrigued by issues of sexual politics and the ways in which a popular author both embraces and repudiates some of the most shocking concepts of sexuality. An index and bibliography are included to aid research.

Her haven is her work, or it was until she stumbled onto deadly secrets. Their lives depend on finding a way to work together, which requires concessions neither wants to make.

Book Description
He made a promise…and someone out there is about to discover what that means. The front door hinges creaked, the faint sound traveling through the still night. Two more steps and I would’ve been inside the bathroom with the door closed because I’m an odd bird and even when home alone, I close the bathroom door. Seconds later, and everything would’ve happened differently. Seconds later, and I’d be dead. My brother trained me. Told me what to do if I was ever in danger. I’d thought he was paranoid, a side effect of his life in the military. Before the explosion, he left instructions. I followed those instructions carefully, straight to his best friend’s door. A man I haven’t seen in ages. A man who didn’t show up to my brother’s funeral. An ex-SEAL I knew before his Navy days. A boy I crushed on back then, but now…it’s a different era. My sister is missing, and I need his help to find her. There’s a chance the man who broke into my home succeeded in getting her. All my focus needs to be on finding her, but yet I’m growing closer to him. Who am I kidding? I’m crushing all over again. When two killers find me, he’s there to protect me. I don’t know why they’re coming for me, but it doesn’t seem like they’ll stop. How much can I let him risk? And how much can I? Someone out there wants to take everything. But some things can’t be taken. Stolen Beauty is the first standalone romance in the Beauty trilogy and the fourth romantic suspense novel within the Arrow Tactical Series.

Delight in the beauty of the soul, not in worldly beauty.
Author: Moschus
Publisher: Philaletheians UK
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 17
Book Description
Eastern Occult Philosophy transcends the perceptive faculties of human reason and speculations, which are illusive emanations of strict logic. Though the deific Essence is Unknown and ever unknowable (yet supreme Causality, emanating from the concealed point), its action can be apprehended in the universe of effects. The symbol of the Great Unknown is letter X. The Fullness of Valentinus is the Space of Occult Philosophy. The Theogony of Wisdom-Religion is the Aletheia of Occult Science. The Bull stands for the seed of life, generative as well as destructive. It’s horns are the emblem of eternal divine power. The Solar Gods are heroes, warriors, and shepherds, followed by their faithful herds of cows and bulls. Moschus’ Arcadian Hymn to Europa. Plutarch directs love to the soul, not to the beauty. The science of the gods is mastered by violence.

The Beauty of Holiness
Author: Louis P. Nelson
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807887986
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
Intermingling architectural, cultural, and religious history, Louis Nelson reads Anglican architecture and decorative arts as documents of eighteenth-century religious practice and belief. In The Beauty of Holiness, he tells the story of the Church of England in colonial South Carolina, revealing how the colony's Anglicans negotiated the tensions between the persistence of seventeenth-century religious practice and the rising tide of Enlightenment thought and sentimentality. Nelson begins with a careful examination of the buildings, grave markers, and communion silver fashioned and used by early Anglicans. Turning to the religious functions of local churches, he uses these objects and artifacts to explore Anglican belief and practice in South Carolina. Chapters focus on the role of the senses in religious understanding, the practice of the sacraments, and the place of beauty, regularity, and order in eighteenth-century Anglicanism. The final section of the book considers the ways church architecture and material culture reinforced social and political hierarchies. Richly illustrated with more than 250 architectural images and photographs of religious objects, The Beauty of Holiness depends on exhaustive fieldwork to track changes in historical architecture. Nelson imaginatively reconstructs the history of the Church of England in colonial South Carolina and its role in public life, from its early years of ambivalent standing within the colony through the second wave of Anglicanism beginning in the early 1750s.

She threw on armor. While I lost any shred of what I once was. Fuck love. That’s what we both said. What we both meant. We felt it bone-deep. Core-deep. Soul-deep. And then we started to feel other things. Or at least I did. I thought she did too. But she didn’t. Because if she did? She wouldn’t have broken my heart. Shattered me into nothingness. Turned me into something I don’t recognize. We both said it. Fuck love. Too bad the universe didn’t listen. Because I fell for the girl. The girl who only wants to be my friend. The girl who doesn’t want to love me back. She destroyed me. And instead of walking away, letting it go, burying the hurt deep, I decided to burn my whole world to the ground. He let me see the real him. And I completely lost the real me. Fuck love. That’s what we both said. What we both meant. We felt it bone-deep. Core-deep. Soul deep. And then Jackson Raines made me start to feel other things. Things I didn’t want to feel. Things I never wanted to feel again. Thing I have never felt. So I lied. I ran. I shattered. Him. Me. And then I became numb. We both said it. Fuck love. It hurts. It kills. It destroys. It makes you believe in lies. Too bad we didn’t listen. We fell. And we fell apart. He tried to burn the whole world to the ground to survive. And me? We’ll just have to wait and see

The Beauty of the Infinite
Author: David Bentley Hart
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 9780802829214
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
The Beauty of the Infinite is a splendid extended essay in "theological aesthetics." David Bentley Hart here meditates on the power of a Christian understanding of beauty and sublimity to rise above the violence -- both philosophical and literal -- characteristic of the postmodern world. The book begins by tracing the shifting use and nature of metaphysics in the thought of Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Lyotard, Derrida, Deleuze, Nancy, Levinas, and others. Hart pays special attention to Nietzsche's famous narrative of the "will to power" -- a narrative largely adopted by the world today -- and he offers an engaging revision (though not rejection) of the genealogy of nihilism, thereby highlighting the significant "interruption" that Christian thought introduced into the history of metaphysics. This discussion sets the stage for a retrieval of the classic Christian account of beauty and sublimity, and of the relation of both to the question of being. Written in the form of a dogmatica minora, this main section of the book offers a pointed reading of the Christian story in four moments, or parts: Trinity, creation, salvation, and eschaton. Through a combination of narrative and argument throughout, Hart ends up demonstrating the power of Christian metaphysics not only to withstand the critiques of modern and postmodern thought but also to move well beyond them. Strikingly original and deeply rewarding, The Beauty of the Infinite is both a constructively critical account of the history of metaphysics and a compelling contribution to it.
