Sexual Ideology in the Works of Alan Moore

Sexual Ideology in the Works of Alan Moore

McFarland Co Inc
2012
pokkari
Alan Moore, the idiosyncratic, controversial and often shocking writer of such works as Watchmen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and V for Vendetta, remains a benchmark for readers of comics and graphic novels. This collection investigates the political, social, cultural, and sexual ideologies that emerge from his seminal work, Lost Girls, and demonstrates how these ideologies relate to his larger body of work. Framed by Moore's insistence upon deconstructing the myth of the superhero, each essay attends to the form and content of Moore's comics under the rubric of his pervasive metaphor of the "politics of sexuality/the sexing of politics."

Paleobotany and Biogeography: A Festschrift for Alan Graham in His 80th Year

Paleobotany and Biogeography: A Festschrift for Alan Graham in His 80th Year

Missouri Botanical Garden Press
2014
sidottu
Alan Graham's accomplishments over a botanical career that spans six decades can be measured by the approximately 250 papers and books that he has published during this time; however, equally significant are his 38 years of teaching at Kent State University and his subsequent 12 years as Research Associate at the Missouri Botanical Garden. This festschrift contains 14 papers prepared by 56 of Alan's friends and colleagues representing 15 nationalities and working in 27 institutions. The participants do not exhaust the list of people who have collaborated with Alan throughout his long and productive scientific career, or the many students who received their degree under Alan Graham, but the papers they have contributed represent those fields in which Alan has had the greatest impact through his work. Taken together, they not only advance knowledge but also demonstrate closely that the efforts of Alan Graham during the course of his career will carry on for centuries in the future as we find greater clarity and develop even more robust hypotheses of the evolution of the vegetation of the Americas.

Discoveries Along the Way with Alan Thornhill

Discoveries Along the Way with Alan Thornhill

Susan Corcoran

Christian Faith Publishing, Inc
2021
pokkari
Alan Thornhill was the human mirror of a loving God and the most delightful and trustworthy of friends. He never used pompous jargon. What people needed was the clear word of the Holy Spirit speaking in their inner ear. His Christianity was not skin deep. It went right through him to the very marrow of his being.-Graham Turner, British journalist and authorDiscoveries Along the Way with Alan Thornhill is a series of short reflections taken from his sermons. Alan Thornhill's great love of people and his gift of storytelling make these reflections very accessible as a roadmap for those seeking a deeper faith. He was both a priest and playwright and so was able to share profound truth from the stage or the pulpit with humor, personal stories and honesty that challenge the reader. The reflections are a jumping-off point for those who wish to explore inner listening and to seek fresh personal insights.

Sex and Sensibility in the Novels of Alan Hollinghurst

Sex and Sensibility in the Novels of Alan Hollinghurst

Palgrave Macmillan
2017
sidottu
Winner of the British Association for Contemporary Literary Studies (BACLS) 2017 Edited Collection PrizeThis book is a challenging and engaging collection of original essays on the novels of Alan Hollinghurst, Britain’s foremost gay writer and the English novel’s master stylist. The essays engage the precarious and shifting relationship between sex and literary sensibility in his novels and, thus, also attempt to establish the parameters of a new critical discourse for future research on Hollinghurst’s novel, queer theory and the contemporary literary representations of masculinity and sexuality. By coupling the consideration of Hollinghurst’s aesthetics, his sensuously evocative style, to an interrogation of the social, political and sexual currents in his texts, the contributors of this collection provide distinctive interpretations of Hollinghurst’s novels, from Hollinghurst’s uncovering of a gay artistic heritage to his re-signification of earlier English literary styles, from his engagement with the Symbolist fin de siècle to his critique of aestheticism, etc., whilst paying close attention to the formally innovative qualities of his texts.

Healing by Deceit: The Story of Alan Palladino

Walter S. Reiter

2015
nidottu
When Anna, a talented cellist, left her volatile husband, Alessandro, he stole the one thing that mattered to her: her nine-year-old son, Alan. For ten years Anna had no contact with Alan, as Alessandro's hatred and lies poisoned the boy against her. Alan grew up thinking his mother had abandoned him. At nineteen he's unusually jaded, but he doesn't understand why. The unexpected discovery of a family secret inspires Anna's second husband and great love, Aaron, to attempt to reignite the tender relationship Anna and Alan once shared. But Aaron's plan seems suspect because it's ultimately based on deceit. He poses as a therapist and infiltrates Alan's deepest feelings about his mother and his parents' divorce. As Alan opens up to Aaron, he doesn't realize he's confessing his true emotions to a man he hates. Is Aaron's plan justified? Will his risk pay off in the healing of old wounds or only drive Alan and Anna further apart? Healing by Deceit is a gorgeous novel written to the tune of classical music. Author Walter S. Reiter's intricately woven story forces readers to contemplate whether it's appropriate, and sometimes even necessary, to lie in the pursuit of good.

Qu habr a dicho Alan Turing de s mismo si hubiera tenido la oportunidad de contar su vida antes de morir? Se suicid o le mataron? Por qu la polic a no analiz la manzana fat dica que mordisque ? Contar su vida y su ciencia no es un asunto sencillo. Enmara arse en complicadas f rmulas ser a tedioso para comprender sus logros; y pasar de largo por su vida sexual ser a injusto. Alan Turing no se sent a avergonzado de ser gay. Tampoco alardeaba de ello. Pero se comportaba tan estupendamente como lo habr a hecho con la libertad que existe hoy d a. Compaginaba sus dos vidas paralelas de la manera m s natural y posiblemente la una no habr a existido sin la otra.

Review of Contemporary Fiction: Wilson Harris / Alan Burns

Review of Contemporary Fiction: Wilson Harris / Alan Burns

Dalkey Archive Press
1997
nidottu
The Review's aesthetic focus has been called many things postmodern, experimental, avant-garde, metafictional, subversive but in bringing this aesthetic to a wider audience it also seeks to expose the artificial barriers that exist between and within cultures. To this end, The Review has a special affinity for the works of foreign writers who may otherwise go unread in the United States, as well as American writers whose work has gone unchampioned in their own country. An extensive book review section also covers recent works of innovative writing. Above all, The Review of Contemporary Fiction attempts to expand readers' notions of what fiction is and what it can do.
