Lacing cultural criticism, Victorian literature, and storytelling together, "TOO MUCH spills over: with intellect, with sparkling prose, and with the brainy arguments of Vorona Cote, who posits that women are all, in some way or another, still susceptible to being called too much." (Esmé Weijun Wang) A weeping woman is a monster. So too is a fat woman, a horny woman, a woman shrieking with laughter. Women who are one or more of these things have heard, or perhaps simply intuited, that we are repugnantly excessive, that we have taken illicit liberties to feel or fuck or eat with abandon. After bellowing like a barn animal in orgasm, hoovering a plate of mashed potatoes, or spraying out spit in the heat of expostulation, we've flinched-ugh, that was so gross. I am so gross. On rare occasions, we might revel in our excess--belting out anthems with our friends over karaoke, perhaps--but in the company of less sympathetic souls, our uncertainty always returns. A woman who is Too Much is a woman who reacts to the world with ardent intensity is a woman familiar to lashes of shame and disapproval, from within as well as without. Written in the tradition of Shrill, Dead Girls, Sex Object and other frank books about the female gaze, TOO MUCH encourages women to reconsider the beauty of their excesses-emotional, physical, and spiritual. Rachel Vorona Cote braids cultural criticism, theory, and storytelling together in her exploration of how culture grinds away our bodies, souls, and sexualities, forcing us into smaller lives than we desire. An erstwhile Victorian scholar, she sees many parallels between that era's fixation on women's "hysterical" behavior and our modern policing of the same; in the space of her writing, you're as likely to encounter Jane Eyre and Lizzie Bennet as you are Britney Spears and Lana Del Rey. This book will tell the story of how women, from then and now, have learned to draw power from their reservoirs of feeling, all that makes us "Too Much."
Following François Laruelle's nonstandard philosophy and the work of Judith Butler, Drucilla Cornell, Luce Irigaray, and Rosi Braidotti, Katerina Kolozova reclaims the relevance of categories traditionally rendered "unthinkable" by postmodern feminist philosophies, such as "the real," "the one," "the limit," and "finality," thus critically repositioning poststructuralist feminist philosophy and gender/queer studies. Poststructuralist (feminist) theory sees the subject as a purely linguistic category, as always already multiple, as always already nonfixed and fluctuating, as limitless discursivity, and as constitutively detached from the instance of the real. This reconceptualization is based on the exclusion of and dichotomous opposition to notions of the real, the one (unity and continuity), and the stable. The non-philosophical reading of postructuralist philosophy engenders new forms of universalisms for global debate and action, expressed in a language the world can understand. It also liberates theory from ideological paralysis, recasting the real as an immediately experienced human condition determined by gender, race, and social and economic circumstance.
Two friends, a rabbit and a pig, have a quarrel until they discover that they have more fun together than alone.
This book celebrates Dorothy Burnham’s many contributions to ongoing research on the Museum’s ethnographic collections from the Northern Athabaskan, Arctic, Plateau and Eastern Woodlands regions of North America. Eleven papers highlight the important role that comprehensive study of museum collections can play in material culture studies, as well as the value of detailed information for those seeking to revive traditional skills.
Although Truman Capote's last novel was unfinished at the time of his death, its surviving portions offer a devastating group portrait of the high and low society of his time. • Includes the story La Cote Basque featured in the major FX series Feud: Capote Vs. the Swans. "Prose that makes the heart sing and the narrative fly." —The New York Times Book Review Tracing the career of a writer of uncertain parentage and omnivorous erotic tastes, Answered Prayers careens from a louche bar in Tangiers to a banquette at La Côte Basque, from literary salons to high-priced whorehouses. It takes in calculating beauties and sadistic husbands along with such real-life supporting characters as Colette, the Duchess of Windsor, Montgomery Clift, and Tallulah Bankhead. Above all, this malevolently finny book displays Capote at his most relentlessly observant and murderously witty.
C�te d'Ormay be small in size but its influence is huge and its reputation alone canstrike terror into the heart of even the most seasoned wine professionals.C�te d'Or is located in the very heart of Burgundy and stretches for a narrow35-mile band. It's on this terroir that some of the world's best known winesare produced. There aretwo main sections. C�te de Nuits, named after the village ofNuits-Saint-Georges, is a mere one mile by 12 miles but it's home to 24 GrandCru vineyards and some of the world's most expensive vineyard real estate. Thisis the northernmost region, starting just south of Dijon and running toCourgoloin, a few kilometres south of Nuits-Saint-Georges and it grows mainlyPinot Noir and other red grapes. It is responsible for some of the great namesof French wine, Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune itself. Thesecond part, the southerly C�te de Beaune, is well-known for its whites butactually grows both Chardonnay and red grapes. One of the most famous villagesin the C�te de Beaune is Pommard, known for its heavy, full-bodied reds. It's anintimidating terroir but Raymond Blake's companionable C�te d'Ordemystifiesit. There is hardly another wine region where knowledge of the back-story is socritical to understanding the wine, for it is impossible to understand burgundywithout reference to the place it comes from and the people who make it. In C�te d'OrBlake transports the reader to the heart of Burgundy, telling the whole storyand painting a complete picture of life there: the history, the culture, thepeople, the place, the geography and the climate.
