    Ebook Danielle Steel CD Collection 4: Big Girl, Family Ties Freeware

    Ebook Danielle Steel CD Collection 4: Big Girl, Family Ties Freeware Big GirlVictoria Dawson has always felt out of place in her family, especially in body-conscious L.A. Her father, Jim, is tall and slender, and her mother, Christina, is a fine-boned, dark-haired beauty. Both are self-centered, outspoken, and disappointed by their daughter’s looks. While her parents and sister can eat anything and not gain an ounce, Victoria must watch everything she eats, as well as endure her father’s belittling comments about her body and see her academic achievements go unacknowledged. Ice cream and oversized helpings of all the wrong foods give her comfort, but only briefly. The one thing she knows is that she has to get away from home, and after college in Chicago, she moves to New York City.Behind Victoria is a lifetime of hurt and neglect she has tried to forget, and even ice cream can no longer dull the pain. Ahead is a challenge and a risk: to accept herself as she is, celebrate it, and claim the victories she has fought so hard for and deserves. Big girl or not, she is terrific and discovers that herself.Family TiesAnnie Ferguson was a bright young Manhattan architect. Talented, beautiful, just starting out with her first job, new apartment and boyfriend, she had the world in the palm of her handâ€â€until a single phone call altered the course of her life forever. Overnight, she became the mother to her sister’s three orphaned children, keeping a promise she never regretted making, even if it meant putting her own life indefinitely on hold.Now, at forty-two, as independent as ever, with a satisfying career and a family that means everything to her, Annie is comfortable being single and staying that way.

SUPPORTING PATRIARCHY AND CONSUMERISM THROUGH SEX RHETORIC: POWER, FOUCAULT AND SEX AND THE CITY BY ALYSON CHACE ARNOLD A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER'S OF ARTS IN COMMUNICATION STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2003 MASTER'S IN COMMUNICATION STUDIES THESIS OF ALYSON C. ARNOLD APPROVED: UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2003 Abstract As Americans seek identification through the media, Foucault's "bio-power" extends the power of patriarchy and consumerism through gender prescriptions. A study of modern sexuality discourses can show what those prescriptions are and how the current power-knowledge regimes are maintained by them. This paper focuses on the aspects of Foucault's theories on power that deal with gender and sexuality discourses, explicating the cable show Sex and the City to discuss its role in the perpetuation of the status quo of patriarchy and consumerism through gendered identities.
  • 'A Critical Literary Analysis of the Fiction of Barbara Kingsolver'

    'A Critical Literary Analysis of the Fiction of Barbara Kingsolver'

    “The Things That Attach People”: A Critical Literary Analysis of the Fiction of Barbara Kingsolver Ceri Gorton, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy JULY 2009 ABSTRACT This is the first full-length scholarly work dedicated to the fiction of Kentucky-raised feminist activist and trained biologist Barbara Kingsolver. Interrogating the political efficacy of the work of an author who proclaims that art “should be political” and that “literature should inform as well as enlighten”, this thesis explores the ways in which Kingsolver positions herself variously as an environmentalist, liberal, communitarian, feminist and agrarian. It unpacks the author’s issues-based approach to writing fiction and its effect on her commercial popularity and through close readings of her fiction provides an assessment of this popular and critically acclaimed contemporary American writer. This study maps the oeuvre of a writer who has achieved critical success in the form of Pulitzer nominations, American Booksellers Book of the Year awards, a National Medal for Arts, and commercial success in the form of bestselling novels and even non-fiction works – not to mention the populist accolade of being selected as an Oprah’s Book Club author. It analyses tropes, techniques and tensions in Kingsolver’s novels and short stories published between 1988 and 2001, namely The Bean Trees (1988), Homeland and Other Stories (1989), Animal Dreams (1990), Pigs in Heaven (1993), The Poisonwood Bible (1998), and Prodigal Summer (2001). Rather than act as an introductory survey, this assessment posits that there exists a difficult but fruitful tension between writing fiction for readers and writing to a political agenda.
  • Littles: Affects and Aesthetics in Sexual Age-Play

    Littles: Affects and Aesthetics in Sexual Age-Play

    Sexuality & Culture https://doi.org/10.1007/s12119-018-09580-5 ORIGINAL PAPER Littles: Afects and Aesthetics in Sexual Age‑Play Katrin Tiidenberg1 · Susanna Paasonen2 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract This article explores the experiences and practices of self-identifying female sex- ual age-players. Based on interviews and observation of the age players’ blogged content, the article suggests that, rather than being fxed in one single position, our study participants move between a range of roles varying across their diferent scenes. In examining accounts of sexual play, we argue that the notion of play char- acterizes not only their specifc routines of sexual “scening” but also sexual routines, experimentations, and experiences more expansively. Further, we argue that a focus on play as exploration of corporeal possibilities allows for conceptualizing sexual preferences and practices, such as age-play, as irreducible to distinct categories of sexual identity. The notion of play makes it possible to consider sexuality in terms of transformations in afective intensities and attachments, without pigeonholing vari- ous preferences, or acts, within a taxonomy of sexual identities. In doing so, it ofers an alternative to the still prevalent categorical conceptualizations of sexuality that stigmatize people’s lived experiences and diminish the explanatory power of schol- arly and therapeutic narratives about human sexuality. Keywords Sexual age-play · Littles · Play · Afect · Tumblr As role-play pertaining to age, age-play is broadly considered a subset of BDSM (encompassing bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism; see Weiss 2011 for a discussion of the “paradigmatic theatrality” of BDSM; see also Harviainen 2011 for a discussion of BDSM as “live action role play” or kinky role-play).
