A critical investigation of how virginity is represented in film. It considers virginity as it is produced and marketed in film. With chapters that span a range of periods, genres, and performances, it intends to prove that although it seems like an obvious quality at first glance, virginity in film is anything but simple.
Women's virginity held tremendous significance in early Christianity and the Mediterranean world. Early Christian thinkers developed diverse definitions of virginity and understood its bodily aspects in surprising, often nonanatomical ways. Eventually Christians took part in a cross-cultural shift toward viewing virginity as something that could be perceived in women's sex organs. Treating virginity as anatomical brought both benefits and costs. By charting this change and situating it in the larger landscape of ancient thought, Virgin Territory illuminates unrecognized differences among early Christian sources and historicizes problematic ideas about women's bodies that still persist today.
When an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary appears on a tree at the Jupiter, Florida, golf course where fifteen-year-old Dylan Flack is caddying for the summer, he encounters a group of "pilgrims" who dare him to take a risk and find out what he really wants out of life.
"Olive oil is one of the world's most essential and ubiquitous cooking ingredients, but how much do we really know about it? Where does it come from, how is it made, and what exactly does "extra-virgin" mean? Nancy Harmon Jenkins, a leading authority on olive oil and the healthy Mediterranean diet, covers all of these questions and more in 'Virgin Territory' as she explores what makes fine extra-virgin, how to choose it and use it, and how to avoid frauds and scams. An illuminating look at the history and culture of olive oil, as well as the science behind its flavors and its role in a healthy diet, this book details how Jenkins began her own passionate foray into olive oil and how she ended up with a 25-acre Tuscan olive farm where she and her offspring produce their own lush, green, spicy oil. Far more than a cookbook, 'Virgin Territory' includes more than 100 recipes showcasing this versatile and healthful ingredient. No matter what recipe you choose, Jenkins guides you in creating a delectable dish made better with olive oil. Along with a wealth of information and exquisite recipes, there are also striking photographs of the Mediterranean-style dishes and Jenkins' own olive grove in Tuscany. A rich and engrossing survey, 'Virgin Territory' is the ultimate resource for everything olive oil."--
