Sex Lives of Superheroes

Sex Lives of Superheroes

Diana McCallum

Benbella Books

Explore these questions and more with this collection of speculative, comedic essays on how superpowers might affect the sex lives of famous superheroes. Based on genuine scientific research and both Marvel and DC comic book and movie canon (and more!), Sex Lives of Superheroes is a refreshingly frank and fun deep dive into the pros, cons, and plot twists of superpowered sex. Drawing from biology, physics, psychology, and more to play out (wild, fictional) scenarios about superheroes' sex lives, this in-depth analysis will definitively answer your burning questions, including: How does sex ed from the 1930s and 1940s stack up to today’s (and what does that mean for Captain America’s love life)? Can Spider-Man do whatever a spider can . . . in bed? Do factors like radiation, psychological stress, and tight spandex affect Batman’s sperm count? Does Green Lantern prove that sex is better in space? Would Wolverine’s healing factor make his sperm immortal? What would sex be like with Daredevil’s enhanced senses? Why did Dr. Strange's girlfriend cheat on him with Benjamin Franklin? Wait, Superman made a porno?! With interludes detailing some of the strangest sexcapades in superhero history, and the closest sexual equivalents we have in the real world, Sex Lives of Superheroes is a testament that sometimes life is even stranger than fiction (though not by much - comics are weird!). Stimulating in more ways than one, this provocative supplement to your favorite heroes’ lore is a hilarious and thought-provoking glimpse under the covers revealing everything you ever wanted to know about the Sex Lives of Superheroes.

Social Innovation and Territorial Development

Social Innovation and Territorial Development

Diana MacCallum; Serena Vicari Haddock

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2009
sidottu
The concept of social innovation offers an alternative perspective on development and territorial transformation, one which foregrounds innovation in social relations. This volume presents a broad-ranging and insightful exploration of social innovation and how it can affect life, society and economy, especially within local communities. It addresses key questions about the nature of social innovation as a process and a strategy and explores what opportunities may exist, or may be generated, for social innovation to nourish human development. It puts forward alternative development options which variously highlight solidarity, co-operation, cultural-artistic endeavour and diversity. In doing so, this book offers a provocative response to the predominant neoliberal economic vision of spatial, economic and social change.

Discourse Dynamics in Participatory Planning

Discourse Dynamics in Participatory Planning

Diana MacCallum

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2010
sidottu
This book introduces the methodology of critical discourse analysis (CDA) to the study of participatory planning. CDA uses linguistic analysis to elucidate social issues and processes and is particularly suited to institutional practices and how they are changing in response to changing social conditions. Illustrated by two case studies from Australia, it examines the talk between the various participants in a formal stakeholder committee context over five years, during which time they went through several phases of changing power dynamics, conflict and reconciliation. The book demonstrates the value of CDA to this field of research and develops specific techniques and conceptual tools for applying the methodology to the 'formal talk' context of collaborative planning committees. It also sheds light on the dynamics of interaction between 'stakeholders' and bureaucracies - particularly with respect to inherent communicative barriers, power inequalities, and the development of new discursive practices.

Quiet Activism

Quiet Activism

Wendy Steele; Jean Hillier; Diana MacCallum; Jason Byrne; Donna Houston

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2021
sidottu
This book focuses on the potential and possibilities for socially innovative responses to the climate emergency at the local scale. Climate change has intensified the need for communities to find creative and meaningful ways to address the sustainability of their environments. The authors focus on the creative and collaborative ways local- scale climate action reflects the extra-ordinary measures taken by ordinary people. This includes critical engagement with the ways in which novel social practices and partnerships emerge between people, organisations, institutions, governance arrangements and eco-systems. The book successfully highlights the transformative power of socially innovative activities and initiatives in response to the climate crisis; and critically explores how different individuals and groups undertake climate action as ‘quiet activism’ – the embodied acts of collective disruption, subversion, creativity and care at the local scale.

Write Your Stress Away

Write Your Stress Away

Diane Hartingh Price; Susan Ives McCollum

Rowman Littlefield
2019
sidottu
Write Your Stress Away: Learning to Tame the Tension in Your Life is unlike any other writing book on the market. For the first time, readers are offered four simple steps to achieve the results promised by the title of this book. Combined, the steps take only 60 minutes, after which readers will feel immediate results as they move from a state of stress and emotional discomfort to one of increased confidence and relaxation. With each session, the body, mind and emotional state will reach new levels of calm, clarity, and healing. This book is an outgrowth of the authors’ personal and professional experiences using writing to relieve stress. The practice of “writing through stress” helped them navigate their daily challenges, and when Diane was diagnosed with breast cancer and Sue with diabetes, this powerful process boosted their ability to overcome the challenges of those testing times. When they shared their technique with others, they were gratified to learn that their friends, colleagues, and later, clients, also benefited from this unique approach to stress management and relief. “Life is strife,” some say, and of course, everyone experiences stress, whether it’s short-term (acute) or longer-term (chronic).

Sarah Bradford delivers an authoritative and explosive study of the greatest icon of the twentieth century: Diana.After more than a decade interviewing those closest to the Princess and her select circle, Sarah Bradford exposes the real Diana: the blighted childhood, the old-fashioned courtship which saw her capture the Prince of Wales, the damage caused by the spectre of Camilla Parker Bowles, through to the collapse of the royal marriage and Diana's final and complicated year as single woman. Diana paints an honest portrait of a woman riddled with contradictions and whose vulnerability and unique empathy with the suffering made her one of the most extraordinary figures of the modern age.
