Maternal Metaphors of Power in African American Women's Literature
Geneva Cobb Moore; Andrew Billingsley
University of South Carolina Press
2017
sidottu
Geneva Cobb Moore deftly combines literature, history, criticism, and theory in Maternal Metaphors of Power in African American Women’s Literature by offering insight into the historical black experience from slavery to freedom as depicted in the literature of nine female writers across several centuries.Moore traces black women writers’ creation of feminine and maternal metaphors of power in literature from the colonial era work of Phillis Wheatley to the postmodern work of Paule Marshall, Alice Walker, and Toni Morrison. Through their characters Moore shows how these writers re-create the identity of black women and challenge existing rules shaping their subordinate status and behavior. Drawing on feminist, psychoanalytic, and other social science theory, Moore examines the maternal iconography and counter-hegemonic narratives by which these writers responded to oppressive conventions of race, gender, and authority.Moore grounds her account in studies of Phillis Wheatley, Harriet Jacobs, Charlotte Forten Grimké, Jessie Fauset, Nella Larsen, and Zora Neale Hurston. All these authors, she contends, wrote against invisibility and powerlessness by developing and cultivating a personal voice and an individual story of vulnerability, nurturing capacity, and agency that confounded prevailing notions of race and gender and called into question moral reform.In these nine writers’ construction of feminine images—real and symbolic—Moore finds a shared sense of the historically significant role of black women in the liberation struggle during slavery, the Jim Crow period, and beyond.

Why Did the Chicken Cross the World?: The Epic Saga of the Bird That Powers Civilization
Andrew Lawler
Atria Books
2016
nidottu
Veteran journalist Andrew Lawler delivers a "fascinating and delightful...globetrotting tour" (Wall Street Journal) with the animal that has been most crucial to the spread of civilization--the chicken. In a masterful combination of historical sleuthing and journalistic adventure, veteran reporter Andrew Lawler "opens a window on civilization, evolution, capitalism, and ethics" (New York) with a fascinating account of the most successful of all cross-species relationships--the partnership between human and chicken. This "splendid book full of obsessive travel and research in history" (Kirkus Reviews) explores how people through the ages embraced the chicken as a messenger of the gods, an all-purpose medicine, an emblem of resurrection, a powerful sex symbol, a gambling aid, a handy research tool, an inspiration for bravery, the epitome of evil, and, of course, the star of the world's most famous joke. Queen Victoria was obsessed with the chicken. Socrates's last words embraced it. Charles Darwin and Louis Pasteur used it for scientific breakthroughs. Religious leaders of all stripes have praised it. Now neuroscientists are uncovering signs of a deep intelligence that offers insights into human behavior. Trekking from the jungles of southeast Asia through the Middle East and beyond, Lawler discovers the secrets behind the fowl's transformation from a shy, wild bird into an animal of astonishing versatility, capable of serving our species' changing needs more than the horse, cow, or dog. The natural history of the chicken, and its role in entertainment, food history, and food politics, as well as the debate raging over animal welfare, comes to light in this "witty, conversational" (Booklist) volume.

Stages of Madness
Andrew J. Power
Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften
2023
sidottu
«Stages of Madness is an important new study of the representation of madness on the early modern English stage. Rigorously researched yet also highly readable, Andrew J. Power’s book provides original and compelling close readings of early modern plays such as The Spanish Tragedy and Hamlet while establishing a lineage of ideas about madness stemming from classical and medieval drama.» (Dr Rory Loughnane, Reader in Early Modern Studies, University of Kent) «Power propels the reader through an enlightened tour of madness. From the Bedlam-laden performance of Edgar in King Lear, through the schism-inflected demonic possession of The Comedy of Errors, to the furious revenges of Titus Andronicus, this book asks the biggest questions imaginable about the evolution of cultural understandings of how mind relates to self and how notions of sanity are constructed through the reflection of madness in religious and medical contexts.» (Dr Timothy Ryan Day, Associate Professor of English, Saint Louis University – Madrid Campus) In re-evaluating the contemporary staging of madness in the early modern period this book provides a clearer understanding and interpretation of characters who suffer from mental and emotional extremities in Shakespearean drama. It addresses three factors that contribute to early modern concepts of madness. These are theories of the «self» current and emergent in the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries; contemporary medical writings on madness; and the legacy of portrayals of madness from classical Greek and Roman drama, with a particular focus on the Roman tragedian, Seneca. The more complete understanding that this combined approach provides, facilitates a better-informed reading of Shakespeare’s plays, plays that so often deal with mental and emotional extremities that were once thought of as «madness».
