  • The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams
    THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectifi cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women .

  • The Case of Mohandas Gandhi By
    Reading an Archive Focussed on its Archivist – the case of Mohandas Gandhi By Vashna Jagarnath Historical Studies University of KwaZulu-Natal (Howard College Campus) Durban This is a draft paper please do not quote without permission of Author Gandhi began writing and keeping a record of his life from a very young age. His autobiography begins with the citation in full of a letter dating back to 1884 when he was fifteen. Although this little confession note, as Gandhi calls it, is a reproduction of the original it was with a letter of confession that Gandhi sought to begin to tell his story. The presence of the note is interesting given that he invested a large amount of time in his life writing - not just letters but petitions, newspaper articles, books and diaries. For the last forty years of his life he systematically wrote every day - describing every detail of his life from major political decisions to his dietary needs and bowel movements. As a result he has left behind one of the most comprehensive and voluminous archives of any individual in modern history. This archive has been edited and published as the Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi. It begins, like his autobiography, with this letter of confession to his father. The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi has been one of the main sources used by scholars to study Gandhi and will be a key source for my own PhD project.1 It therefore becomes important to try and understand something about the history of this particular archive. In addition to making some comments in this regard this short paper also tries to map out a basic periodisation of Gandhi’s correspondence through his life.

  • Natalie Dormer Mixes S&...Ny
    Sexy or Sexist? Natalie Dormer Mixes S&M, Irony for “Venus in Fur” BY HILARY WEBB | OCTOBER 18, 2017 (/#FACEBOOK) (/#TWITTER) (/#PINTEREST) Natalie Dormer and David Oakes in "Venus in Fur" (Credit Tristram Kenton) The giant shadow of a leather-clad Natalie Dormer dominates the ceiling of Theatre Royal Haymarket in the latest production of David Ives’s “Venus in Fur.” Dormer leads the entire play with her strong delivery of humor, authority, her several ambiguous characters and, of course, her role within a complex submissive-dominant relationship. Dormer shares the stage with David Oakes in this production, directed by Patrick Marber. While “Venus in Fur” is often painted as being the play of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s founding text of masochism, “Venus in Furs” (1870), the play is also about adaptation, power and, much to the disdain of Oakes’s character Thomas, the consequences of art. The work has a complicated past. After all, Marber’s version is a British production of an American play about an imaginary play of an Austrian book. That’s not to mention that in 2013 Polish director Roman Polanski made a French film of the play. The story has crossed borders and language barriers, artistic mediums and social movements. What is it about this submission story that has captivated audiences for yet another adaptation? The raunchy subject matter seems like the obvious answer. Dormer’s character Wanda stumbles into a theatre for an audition clad in 21st-century S&M gear, where Oakes (the adapter and director, Thomas) is looking for an impossibly perfect actress to play Vanda in his faithful theatrical adaptation of “Venus in Furs.” What follows is an audition with Thomas reading as Severin, but really it is a hilariously dark struggle between actress and director, dominant and submissive, woman and man.

  • 1. a Confession1 2. Speech at Alfred High School, Rajkot3
    1. A CONFESSION1 [1884] I wrote it on a slip of paper and handed it to him myself. In this note not only did I confess my guilt, but I asked adequate punishment for it, and closed with a request to him not to punish himself for my offence. I also pledged myself never to steal in future.2 An Autobiography, Pt. I, Ch. VIII 2. SPEECH AT ALFRED HIGH SCHOOL, RAJKOT 3 July 4, 1888 I hope that some of you will follow in my footsteps, and after you return from England you will work wholeheartedly for big reforms in India. [From Gujarati] Kethiawar Times, 12-7-1888 1 When Gandhiji was 15, he had removed a bit of gold from his brother’s armlet to clear a small debt of the latter. He felt so mortified about his act that he decided to make a confession to his father. Parental forgiveness was granted to him in the form of silent tears. The incident left a lasting mark on his mind. In his own words, it was an object-lesson to him in the power of ahimsa. The original not being available; his own report of it, as found in An Autobiography, is reproduced here. 2 According to Mahatma Gandhi : The Early Phase, p. 212, one of the senten- ces in the confession was : “So, father, your son is now, in your eyes, no better than a common thief.” 3 Gandhiji was given a send-off by his fellow-students of the Alfred High School, Rajkot, when he was leaving for England to study for the Bar.

  • The Origins of Non-Violence
    The Origins of Non-violence Tolstoy and Gandhi in Their Historical Settings Martin Green The Origins of Non-violence This book describes the world-historical forces, acting on the periphery of the modern world—in Russia in the nineteenth century—which developed the idea of nonviolence in Tolstoy and then in Gandhi. It was from Tolstoy that Gandhi first learned of this idea, but those world-historical forces acted upon and through both men. The shape of the book is a convergence, the coming together of two widely separate lives, under the stress of history. The lives of Tolstoy and Gandhi begin at widely separate points— of time, of place, of social origin, of talent and of conviction; in the course of their lives, they become, respectively, military officer and novelist, and lawyer and political organizer. They win fame in those roles; but in the last two decades of their lives, they occupy the same special space—ascetic/saint/prophet. Tolstoy and Gandhi were at first agents of modern reform, in Russia and India. But then they became rebels against it and led a profound resistance—a resistance spiritually rooted in the traditionalism of myriad peasant villages. The book’s scope and sweep are enormous. Green has made history into an absorbing myth—a compelling and moving story of importance to all scholars and readers concerned with the history of ideas. www.mkgandhi.org Page 1 The Origins of Non-violence Preface This book tells how the modern version of nonviolence—and Satyagraha, and war-resistance, and one kind of anti-imperialism, even— were in effect invented by Tolstoy and Gandhi.
