Bodies of Art

French Literary Realism and the Artist's Model

By: Marie Lathers

To the time-honored myth of the artist creating works of genius in isolation, with nothing but inspiration to guide him, art historians have added the mitigating influences of critics, dealers, and the public. Bodies of Art completes the picture by adding the model. This lively look at atelier politics through the lens of literature focuses in particular on the female model, with special attention to her race, ethnicity, and class. The result is a suggestive account of the rise and fall of the female model in nineteenth-century realism, with a final emphasis on the passage of the model into photography at the turn of the century. This history of the model begins in nineteenth-century Paris, where the artist?model dynamic was regularly debated by writers and where the most important categories of models appear to be Jewish, Italian, and Parisian women. Bodies of Art traces an evolution in the representation of this model in realist and naturalist literary works from her "birth" in Balzac to her "death" in Maupassant, in the process revealing how she played a key role in theories of representation advanced by writers. Throughout the book, Marie Lathers connects the artist's work to the social realities and actual bodies that surround and inhabit the atelier. Her work shows how much the status of the model can tell us about artistic practices during the century of the birth of modernity.

The Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, and the Men Who Follow Him

By: Dawn-Marie Gibson

This book examines the varied ways in which Minister Farrakhan’s Resurrected Nation of Islam appeals to men from different backgrounds. Dawn-Marie Gibson investigates a number of themes including faith, family, and community, making use of archival research and engaging in-depth interviews. The book considers the multifaceted ways in which men encounter the Nation of Islam (NOI) and navigate its ethics and gender norms. Gibson describes and dissects the factors that attract men to the NOI, while also considering the challenges that these men confront as new converts. She discusses the various inter-faith and community outreach efforts that men engage in and assesses their work with both their Christian and Muslim counterparts. To conclude its discussion, the book takes a look at the NOI’s 2015 Justice or Else March to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the Million Man March in Washington, DC.

Angels for Kids

By: Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle

The invisible world of angels is so often overlooked, though it has been present since before the dawn of Creation, offering attentive service and protection to humankind. Based on Catholic teaching, Angels for Kids offers proof of the true existence of angels while dispelling prevalent contemporary myths. This inspiring book will open the eyes and hearts of youth and their families to a greater awareness of the unseen world, as well as provide warm encouragement to keep company with the incredible angelic friends who unceasingly glorify God and who have been a significant part of salvation history; protecting Jesus throughout His life, announcing heaven’s plans, and guiding and protecting the faithful. A chapter of special prayers to the angels completes the book. “Angels are our protectors, companions, and God's messengers. In Angels for Kids, Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle shares the important role they play in our lives in language that is compelling and at the same time accessible for little souls. Buy this book for your kids, savor some reading time along with them, and you'll be amazed by how much you'll learn too!" - Lisa M. Hendey , Author of A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms and founder of www.CatholicMom.com All children should grow up knowing the companionship and powerful help of the holy angels. All children should grow up knowing the truth that this book teaches. It makes for a happier, more confident life. God created the angels to serve us as they glorify Him. We show our gratitude by enjoying their friendship, and Donna-Marie tells us how. -Mike Aquilina Author, Angels of God, A Year with the Angels, and Entertaining Angels “What a delightful little book! Angels For Kids is wonderful in its simplicity and, yet, profound in its content and impact. Children of all ages will greatly benefit from this little catechesis on the angels. This book is truly a gem, containing both beautiful prayers and childlike insights, and Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle has outdone herself in offering to all God’s children this angelic treasury!” -Fr. Donald Calloway , MIC, STL Author – Under the Mantle: Marian Thoughts from a 21st Century Priest “ Science calls us to believe in the unseeable – black holes in space, which cannot ever be seen because they absorb all light before it can reflect back to an observer. They believe in black holes because of anomalous behavior in space. So also, Christians, like Jews, Muslims, and many other religious people around the world and throughout history believe in angels, not only because of anomalous behaviors we experience in life's events but also because of God's Revelation in Scripture. We do well to introduce children to these facts, along with astronomical facts, to prepare them for a mature spiritual life. This book is such an introduction, and parents might be reminded of their own angels as they read with their children.” -Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J. “Angels for Kids by Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle surveys the whole Bible in a touching way . The book reminds its young readers that they are always lovingly cared for by God and protected from every kind of harm.” – Jack Wintz

I am Yours and You are Mine

By: Tya Marie

After being left at the alter by his long time girlfriend, Gigi Romano hasn’t been quite the same. He’s vowed to never have his heart broken again and plunges himself into a world of nameless and faceless women. Ten years later, his player ways are still strong, but other areas of his life are growing weak, especially his relationship with his son. Gigi continually promises to change his ways but always finds himself succumbing to his sexual desires, whether it be with the sultry Diana or levelheaded Melissa. However, when Qui returns to New York City, Gigi believes that his first true love will be able to change him for the better—that is until he meets his Mystery Woman. Allowing her to slip through his grasp once, Gigi swears that if given the chance again he’ll give her everything her heart desires. However, when they meet again through a chance encounter, Gigi realizes that his all might not be enough. Life hasn’t been easy for Jade Romano either. Fresh out of a divorce, Jade finds herself the eye candy of every woman in New York City except for the one she really wants: her boss, Lia. With the face of a Creole angel, the body of a bombshell, and the vocals to match, it’s no wonder that Lia’s everything Jade could ever want. There’s only one problem—Lia can't stand her. Although Jade finds herself at the end of Lia’s cool glares and catty ways, it doesn’t stop her from wondering what’s underneath Lia’s marble façade. When she does have a peek, it’s enough to pull her in completely. The problem? Her ex-wife, Brandy. Armed with a poisonous secret and a deadly desire to take back what’s hers, Brandy barrels back into Jade’s life with promises to wreak havoc unless she returns to the place where the pain started. Home. Every love affair comes with a price and Gigi must pay for the actions of his past while Jade suffers for the choices she’ll have to make in the future. There’s no question that either of the Romano children are strong enough to handle it—the question is: in the end is it all worth it?

Terrorism

A Critical Introduction

By: Richard Jackson,Lee Jarvis,Jeroen Gunning,Marie Breen-Smyth

This innovative text provides a much-needed critical introduction to terrorism. Cutting-edge research on contemporary issues is combined with new insights into long-debated issues such as the definition of terrorism, the nature of the terrorist threat and counter-terrorism strategies. Showing that the methods we adopt as well as the material we study are vital for a clear understanding of the subject, this text goes beyond traditional IR approaches to rethink popular beliefs and assumptions about terrorism. Taking a genuinely global and integrated approach, this book is an ideal entry into the study of terrorism. In the years since 9/11, terrorism has been transformed into an issue of global significance. Terrorism and the war on terror has affected virtually every aspect of modern life, and a precise understanding of terrorism is now more important - and contentious - than ever. This text examines the origins, perceptions of, and responses to, terrorism and counter-terrorism in the contemporary world. It takes into account recent developments on the world stage as well as within - and in response to - critical terrorism studies. This text is the ultimate companion for students studying terrorism as part of an undergraduate or postgraduate degree. It guides students step-by-step to have a deeper understanding of terrorism and a more nuanced approach to their studies. New to this Edition: - Fully revised second edition of a leading text on an increasingly popular topic - New sections on 'the war on terror' - New discussion questions, further reading and web links

Caught

The Prison State and the Lockdown of American Politics

By: Marie Gottschalk

A major reappraisal of crime and punishment in America The huge prison buildup of the past four decades has few defenders, yet reforms to reduce the numbers of those incarcerated have been remarkably modest. Meanwhile, an ever-widening carceral state has sprouted in the shadows, extending its reach far beyond the prison gate. It sunders families and communities and reworks conceptions of democracy, rights, and citizenship—posing a formidable political and social challenge. In Caught, Marie Gottschalk examines why the carceral state remains so tenacious in the United States. She analyzes the shortcomings of the two dominant penal reform strategies—one focused on addressing racial disparities, the other on seeking bipartisan, race-neutral solutions centered on reentry, justice reinvestment, and reducing recidivism. With a new preface evaluating the effectiveness of recent proposals to reform mass incarceration, Caught offers a bracing appraisal of the politics of penal reform.

Jacopo Tintoretto: Identity, Practice, Meaning

By: AA. VV.,Marie-Louise Lillywhite,Tom Nichols,Giorgio Tagliaferro

Over the past twenty years or so it has finally been understood that Jacopo Tintoretto (1518/19-1594) is an old master of the very highest calibre, whose sharp visual intelligence and brilliant oil technique provides a match for any painter of any time. Based on papers given at a conference held at Keble College, Oxford, to mark the quincentenary of Tintoretto’s birth, this volume comprises ten new essays written by an international range of scholars that open many fresh perspectives on this remarkable Venetian painter. Reflecting current ‘hot spots’ in Tintoretto studies, and suggesting fruitful avenues for future research, chapters explore aspects of the artist’s professional and social identity; his graphic oeuvre and workshop practice; his secular and sacred works in their cultural context; and the emergent artistic personality of his painter-son Domenico. Building upon the opening-up of the Tintoretto phenomenon to less fixed or partial viewpoints in recent years, this volume reveals the great master’s painting practice as excitingly experimental, dynamic, open-ended, and original.
