Paperback. Condition: New. This book broadens understandings of dissident sexualities in Africa through examining new representations of same-sex desire emerging in recent francophone autofictional writing from the Maghreb.Long-established traditions pertaining to gender and sexuality are brought into contact with new forms of gender and sexual dissidence, resulting from the inflection of globally circulating discourses and embodiments of queerness in North Africa, and from the experience of emigration and settlement by the writers concerned in France. The book analyses specifically how Franco-Maghrebi writers Rachid O., Abdellah Taïa, Eyet-Chékib Djaziri, and Nina Bouraoui foreground translation and narrative reflexivity around incommensurable spaces of queerness in order to index their crossings and negotiations of multiple languages, histories and cultures. By writing in French, Spurlin demonstrates that the writers are not merely mimicking the language of their former coloniser but inflecting a European language with discursive turns of phrase indigenous to North Africa, thus creating new possibilities of meaning and expression to name their lived experiences of gender and sexual alterity-a form of (queer) translational praxis that destabilises received gender/sexual categories both within the Maghreb and in Europe.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Lost Intimacies: Rethinking Homosexuality under National Socialism uses queer theory as a hermeneutic tool with which to read against the grain of heterotextual narratives of the Holocaust and as a way of locating alternative pathways of meaning in dominant Holocaust research. Specifically addressing the racialization of sexuality, the book asks how the politics of sexuality can be more explicitly and systematically theorized, along with state-sanctioned homophobia under Nazism, with a clear recognition that homophobia seldom operated alone, but worked in conjunction with other axes of power, including race, gender, eugenics, and population politics. In theorizing gender and sexuality as entangled axes of analysis, the book allows the specificity of lesbian difference to emerge and challenges the received wisdom that lesbians were not as systematically persecuted under National Socialism. William J. Spurlin questions the wisdom of received scholarship that reduces Nazi fascism to latent homosexuality, and examines the possible implications of Nazi homophobia, and its imbrication with other deployments of power, for the study of contemporary culture where the homophobic impulse continues to reverberate, thereby challenging understandings of history steeped in notions of progressive modernity.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - My grandmother kept her porch light on every night-not for herself, but for anyone who might need it. That light was a promise: Someone's home. Come in.This book is my porch light for you.Daily Goodwill is a week-long journey through the practice of kindness-the real kind, not the greeting-card kind. The kind that shows up on Tuesday afternoon when you're exhausted and someone needs something from you anyway.Each of the seven chapters explores what kindness looks like on a different day: - Monday teaches the art of beginning again-gently, without panic- Tuesday reveals the quiet power of simply showing up again- Wednesday offers patience for surviving the middle of things- Thursday helps you notice the hidden wins you've been missing- Friday explores the art of completion and letting go- Saturday gives you permission to rest without earning it- Sunday is a practice in being gentle with yourselfThis isn't self-help in the traditional sense. There's no system to optimize your life, no formula for happiness, no promises of transformation in seven days. What you'll find instead are stories, reflections, and practical suggestions I call Goodwill Moves-small experiments in kindness you can try or ignore, no judgment either way.Based on the beloved podcast of the same name, Daily Goodwill is for anyone who needs a gentler voice in the morning. For anyone who's harder on themselves than they'd ever be on others. For anyone who's ever left a light on.What readers will discover: - The Ten Percent Rule for overcoming Monday paralysis- Why consistency beats intensity every time- The Warm Water Reset for anxious moments- How to celebrate tiny wins without waiting for big achievements- The truth about rest: you don't have to earn it- Practical wisdom for making each day of the week a little more manageableThe practice of kindness isn't something you master-it's something you do imperfectly, forever. The important thing isn't to never fail. The important thing is to keep trying.The porch light stays on.…
