![]() Free Download Boys at Home : Discipline, Masculinity, and the Boy-Problem in Nineteenth-Century American Literature By Ken Parille 2009 | 183 Pages | ISBN: 1572336889 | PDF | 1 MB In this groundbreaking book, Ken Parille seeks to do for nineteenth-century boys what the past three decades of scholarship have done for girls: show how the complexities of the fiction and educational materials written about them reflect the lives they lived. While most studies of nineteenth-century boyhood have focused on post-Civil War male novelists, Parille explores a broader archive of writings by male and female authors, extending from 1830-1885. "Boys at Home" offers a series of arguments about five pedagogical modes: play-adventure, corporal punishment, sympathy, shame, and reading. The first chapter demonstrates that, rather than encouraging boys to escape the bonds of domesticity, scenes of play in boysOCO novels reproduce values associated with the home. Chapter 2 argues that debates about corporal punishment are crucial sources for the cultureOCOs ideas about gender difference and pedagogical practice. In chapter 3, OC The Medicine of Sympathy, OCO Parille examines the affective nature of mother-daughter and mother-son bonds, emphasizing the special difficulties that OC boy-natureOCO posed for women. The fourth chapter uses boysOCO conduct literature and Louisa May AlcottOCOs Little Women OCo the preeminent chronicle of girlhood in the century OCo to investigate not only AlcottOCOs fictional representations of shame-centered discipline but also pervasive cultural narratives about what it means to OC be a man.OCO Focusing on works by Lydia Sigourney and Francis Forrester, the final chapter considers arguments about the effects that fictional, historical, and biographical narratives had on a boyOCOs sense of himself and his masculinity. "Boys at Home" is an important contribution to the emerging field of masculinity studies. In addition, this provocative volume brings new insight to the study of childhood, womenOCOs writing, and American culture. Ken Parille is assistant professor of English at East Carolina University. His articles have appeared in "ChildrenOCOs Literature, Tulsa Studies in WomenOCOs Literature, Papers on Language and Literature, "and "ChildrenOCOs Literature Association Quarterly." ![]() Free Download Boundary Element Techniques: Theory and Applications in Engineering by C.

Allen, "Blanchot and the Outside of Literature" English | ISBN: 1501345249 | 2018 | 232 pages | PDF | 2 MB Maurice Blanchot's writings have played a critical role in the development of 20th-century French thought, but the implicit tension in this role has rarely been addressed directly. Reading Blanchot involves understanding how literature can have an effect on philosophy, to the extent of putting philosophy itself in question by exposing a different and literary mode of thought. However, as this mode is to be found most substantially in the peculiar density of his fictional writings, rather than in his theoretical or critical works, the demand on readers to grasp its implications for thought is rendered more difficult. Blanchot and the Outside of Literature provides a detailed and far-reaching explication of how Blanchot's works changed in the postwar period during which he arrived at this complex and distinctive form of writing. ![]() Free Download Black Culture and Black Consciousness : Afro-American Folk Thought from Slavery to Freedom By Lawrence W. Levine 2007 | 557 Pages | ISBN: 019530568X | EPUB | 1 MB When Black Culture and Black Consciousness first appeared thirty years ago, it marked a revolution in our understanding of African American history. Contrary to prevailing ideas at the time, which held that African culture disappeared quickly under slavery and that black Americans had little group pride, history, or cohesiveness, Levine uncovered a cultural treasure trove, illuminating a rich and complex African American oral tradition, including songs, proverbs, jokes, folktales, and long narrative poems called toasts--work that dated from before and after emancipation. The fact that these ideas and sources seem so commonplace now is in large part due this book and the scholarship that followed in its wake. A landmark work that was part of the "cultural turn" in American history, Black Culture and Black Consciousness profoundly influenced an entire generation of historians and continues to be read and taught. For this anniversary reissue, Levine wrote a new preface reflecting on the writing of the book and its place within intellectual trends in African American and American cultural history. ![]() Free Download Biotechnology Step by Step: A Guide to the Intersection of Biology, Medicine, Technology & Engineering (Step By Step Subject Guides) by James Smith English | November 27, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DP78NZ9X | 147 pages | PDF | 1.94 Mb Discover the fascinating field of biotechnology with Biotechnology Step by Step, a comprehensive guide that demystifies one of the most transformative fields of science.
