Het Antiserum

De uitverkorenen

By: Patricia Verlinde

Nadat Melanie een jaar eerder haar vader heeft verloren aan zelfmoord, lijken er eindelijk weer wat lichtpuntjes in haar leven te verschijnen wanneer ze Tristan ontmoet. Dit is echter van korte duur, al snel komt ze in een aantal onverklaarbare situaties terecht waardoor ze achter het bestaan komt van een goed verborgen wereld die zich schuil houdt in de diepste en duisterste schaduwen op aarde. Een wereld waar klaarblijkelijk haar vader een hoofdrol in heeft gespeeld en waardoor zij nu doelwit is geworden van twee partijen die zijn verwikkeld in een eeuwenoude oorlog. Samen met Tristan tracht Melanie de geheimen die haar vader zo goed voor haar verborgen probeerde te houden te ontrafelen en zo hun levens te redden, waarbij hun ontluikende liefde zwaar op de proef wordt gesteld.

Sporting Male Weeklies in 1840s New York

By: Patricia Cline Cohen,Timothy J. Gilfoyle,Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz,American Antiquarian Society

Obscene, libidinous, loathsome, lascivious. Those were just some of the ways critics described the nineteenth-century weeklies that covered and publicized New York City’s extensive sexual underworld. Publications like the Flash and the Whip—distinguished by a captivating brew of lowbrow humor and titillating gossip about prostitutes, theater denizens, and sporting events—were not the sort generally bound in leather for future reference, and despite their popularity with an enthusiastic readership, they quickly receded into almost complete obscurity. Recently, though, two sizable collections of these papers have resurfaced, and in The Flash Press three renowned scholars provide a landmark study of their significance as well as a wide selection of their ribald articles and illustrations. Including short tales of urban life, editorials on prostitution, and moralizing rants against homosexuality, these selections epitomize a distinct form of urban journalism. Here, in addition to providing a thorough overview of this colorful reportage, its editors, and its audience, the authors examine nineteenth-century ideas of sexuality and freedom that mixed Tom Paine’s republicanism with elements of the Marquis de Sade’s sexual ideology. They also trace the evolution of censorship and obscenity law, showing how a string of legal battles ultimately led to the demise of the flash papers: editors were hauled into court, sentenced to jail for criminal obscenity and libel, and eventually pushed out of business. But not before they forever changed the debate over public sexuality and freedom of expression in America’s most important city.

Promised Bodies

Time, Language, and Corporeality in Medieval Women's Mystical Texts

By: Patricia Dailey

In the Christian tradition, especially in the works of Paul, Augustine, and the exegetes of the Middle Ages, the body is a twofold entity consisting of inner and outer persons that promises to find its true materiality in a time to come. A potentially transformative vehicle, it is a dynamic mirror that can reflect the work of the divine within and substantially alter its own materiality if receptive to divine grace. The writings of Hadewijch of Brabant, a thirteenth-century beguine, engage with this tradition in sophisticated ways both singular to her mysticism and indicative of the theological milieu of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Crossing linguistic and historical boundaries, Patricia Dailey connects the embodied poetics of Hadewijch's visions, writings, and letters to the work of Julian of Norwich, Hildegard of Bingen, Marguerite of Oingt, and other mystics and visionaries. She establishes new criteria to more consistently understand and assess the singularity of women's mystical texts and, by underscoring the similarities between men's and women's writings of the time, collapses traditional conceptions of gender as they relate to differences in style, language, interpretative practices, forms of literacy, and uses of textuality.

De Scarpetta factor

By: Patricia Cornwell

Scarpetta en haar nicht Lucy raken in Patricia Cornwells zeventiende Kay Scarpetta-thriller verwikkeld in een dodelijk complot... De Scarpetta factor is het zeventiende boek uit de bloedstollende bestsellerserie rond patholoog-anatoom Kay Scarpetta van auteur Patricia Cornwell. Deze serie betekende Patricia Cornwells doorbraak als grondlegger van de pathologisch-anatomische thriller. Het is de week voor kerst en Kay Scarpetta heeft een pro-bonozaak aangenomen in New York. In geen tijd lijkt haar toegenomen bekendheid een serie van dramatische en verontrustende misdaden te veroorzaken. Omwille van deze groeiende bekendheid wordt Kay uitgenodigd om op televisie te komen praten over de sensationele verdwijning van Hannah Starr. Tijdens de uitzending ontvangt Kay een verontrustende oproep van een voormalig psychiatrisch patiënt. Wanneer Kay die avond thuiskomt, ligt er een mysterieus pakketje in het appartement, waar ze samen met Benton woont, op haar te wachten. Wat zit er in het pakketje? Een bom? Al snel raakt Scarpetta verwikkeld in een dodelijk complot – een complot waarbij een beroemde acteur beschuldigd wordt van seksueel misbruik en een mooie, rijke vrouw verdwijnt. En wat gebeurt er wanneer Lucy, Scarpetta’s nicht, een geheim verleden lijkt te hebben met deze puissante vrouw? Patricia Cornwells werk over de vrouwelijke patholoog-anatoom Scarpetta is de bestverkochte thrillerserie ter wereld. De serie werd bekroond met de Edgar Award en de Gold Dagger.

God’s Call Is Everywhere

A Global Analysis of Contemporary Vocations for Women

By: Patricia Wittberg, SC,Mary L. Gautier,Gemma Simmonds, CJ,Nathalie Becquart, XMCJ

Religious life is vitally necessary to the Catholic church today. But it will exist in new and varied forms which speak to the spiritual hungers of different societies, ethnic cultures, and generations. God’s Call Is Everywhere is the first comparative analysis of research in six countries investigating women who have entered vowed religious life in Catholicism in the twenty-first century. The data include survey responses from institute leaders, formation directors, and the women themselves, conducted in the United States, Canada, Australia, and France, along with focus groups and interviews in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and France. Through a careful summary of these studies and comparing differences, readers of this book will have a better understanding of the hopes and concerns of those discerning a vocation to religious life and learn how to move forward in the future. God’s Call Is Everywhere includes six major points of comparison: * Demographic characteristics of the women entering religious life and their personal and familial backgrounds * What attracted them to religious life and to their specific religious institute * What they find most satisfying and most challenging about religious life * Their hopes and concerns for the future * Experiences and programs that were helpful in their vocational discernment * Aspects of the larger society, of the Church, and of the religious institutes which make vocational discernment difficult for women today The analysis is followed by six reflective essays, two of which discuss the implications of the findings for future vocational discernment programs and four of which compare the findings to religious life in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
