![]() ![]() She discusses recently discovered paintings, offers fresh perspectives on known works, and examines the artist anew in the context of feminist history. Garrard, noted Gentileschi scholar, shows that the artist most likely knew or knew about contemporary writers such as the Venetian feminists Lucrezia Marinella and Arcangela Tarabotti. This book breaks new ground by placing Gentileschi in the context of women’s political history. Her powerful paintings with vigorous female protagonists chime with modern audiences, and she is celebrated by feminist critics and scholars. Her art addressed issues that resonate today, such as sexual violence and women’s problematic relationship to political power. An accessible introduction to the life of the seventeenth-century's most celebrated women artists, now in paperback.Īrtemisia Gentileschi is by far the most famous woman artist of the premodern era. ![]() 7/8/2023 0 Comments Geek love by katherine dunn![]() ![]() That was how I felt, and I wanted company. ![]() But I believed that Arty had turned his back on us, that the twins were broken, that the Chick was lost, that Papa was weak and scared, that Mama was spinning fog, and that I was an adolescent crone sitting in the ruins, watching the beams crumble, and warming myself in the smoke from the funeral pyre. She'd swung that spoon in a tigerish reflex at blasphemy. I also knew that Mama was too far gone to understand why I deserved it. That's the only time Mama ever hit me and I knew I deserved it. I went to the generator truck and climbed up to sit by Grandpa. She started at me, terrified, her mouth and eyes gaping with fear. ![]() It smacked wet and hard across my ear, and the purple-black juice spayed across the table. This whole berry business, cooking big meals that nobody comes for, birthday cakes for Arty. The twins always loved picking berries, even more than eating them. She got tired today." I was smelling the berries and Mamaa's sweat, and watching the flex of the blue veins behind her knees. I leaned my hot arms on the table and said, "Iphy better not go tomorrow. Mama pushed her dark wooden spoon into the foaming berries and cicrcled the wall of the pot slowly. The berries were beginning to simmer in the big pot on the back burner. And this will set up nicely in about six, eight jars." "Not what we usually start with, but we can go again tomorrow. “Later, at the sink in our van, Mama rinsed the blue stain and the odd spiders, caterpillars, and stems from the bucket. ![]() ![]() ![]() What other explanation can there be?

Clothed in the forms and speaking the lingo of Transhuman Science Fiction, The Golden Age was just as easily a Baroque Fantasy, with overpowered, immortal, and decadent godlings wielding unimaginable energies to play their petty games and decide the fate of humanity. This is not just a great title, but also encapsulated what the book was all about: this is a novel that seamlessly straddled the genres of Science Fiction and Fantasy (Romance). ![]() ![]() John Wright made a rather notable entry into the field of fiction a couple of years ago with a book called The Golden Age: A Romance of the Far Future. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments Collected works of oscar wilde![]() Thus, caring people "seriously and very sentimentally set themselves to the task of remedying the evils that they see in poverty but their remedies do not cure the disease: they merely prolong it" because, as Wilde puts it, "the proper aim is to try and reconstruct society on such a basis that poverty will be impossible." In "The Soul of Man" Wilde argues that, under capitalism, "the majority of people spoil their lives by an unhealthy and exaggerated altruism-are forced, indeed, so to spoil them": instead of realising their true talents, they waste their time solving the social problems caused by capitalism, without taking their common cause away. The writing of "The Soul of Man" followed Wilde's conversion to anarchist philosophy, following his reading of the works of Peter Kropotkin. ![]() ![]() " The Soul of Man Under Socialism" is an 1891 essay by Oscar Wilde in which he expounds a libertarian socialist worldview and a critique of charity. ![]() "The Soul of Man Under Socialism." First publication in Fortnightly Review February 1891, p. ![]() ![]() ![]() The HD of a system is its dynamical meaningful organizational layer, its semantic field (syg-field), more or less evolved, from a proto-consciousness to a mind. ISST accommodates the double-nature of consciousness, mostly nonlocal and operating through the hyperdimension, and partly embodied. ![]() The Infinite-Spiral-Staircase Theory (ISST) posits such triune hyperdimension (HD) as all-encompassing in the universe, pre-existing to and pervading the spacetime region because it dwells at a sub-Planckian scale-both at the origin and at any spacetime coordinates in all systems. However, in the same way as the four forces can only be unified via a hyperdimension, a hyperdimension that includes a cosmic consciousness (together with hyperspace and hypertime) may give a cogent foundation for all five nonlocal anomalies. Together, these five anomalies are not only at odds with Relativity but also with the indeterminacy of Quantum Mechanics. Five types of processes display a 'beyond spacetime' property-or nonlocality as evidenced in the quantum entanglement-, including psi, proven to operate beyond-brain and beyond-spacetime. ![]() ![]() ![]() Up that unknown reality by unfolding its description, adding What I am doing with you consists, therefore, in setting As a sorcerer and a teacher, I am teaching you thatĭescription.
