The Lioness in Winter: Writing an Old Woman's Life
ISBN: 9780231151856 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When she started working with the aged more than forty years ago, Ann Burack-Weiss began storing the knowledge and skills she thought would help when she got old herself. It was not until she hit her mid-seventies that she realized she had packed sneakers to climb Mount Everest, not anticipating the crevices and chasms that constitute the rocky terrain of old age. The professional gerontological and social work literature offered little help, so she turned to the late-life works of beloved women authors who had bravely climbed the mountain and sent back news from the summit. Maya Angelou,...

Tough Love: Sexuality, Compassion, and the Christian Right
ISBN: 9781438449869 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A staple of the culture wars, the struggle between Christian conservatives and progressives over sexuality and reproductive rights continues. Focusing on ex-gay ministries geared to helping same-sex attracted people resist their sexuality and postabortion ministries dedicated to leading women who have had an abortion to repent that decision, Cynthia Burack argues that both are motivated and characterized by a strain of compassion that is particular to Christian conservatism rather than a bias and hatred toward sexual minorities and sexually active women. This compassion reproduces the sexual...

D. H. Lawrence's Language of Sacred Experience: The Transfiguration of the Reader
ISBN: 9781403968456 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book demonstrates how D.H. Lawrence's prophetic ambitions impelled him to create novels that would radically transform the consciousness of his readers. Charles Burack argues that Lawrence's major novels, beginning with The Rainbow, are structured as religious initiation rites that attempt to break down the reader's normative mindset and to evoke new, numinous experiences of self and world. Through careful analysis of narrative structure, literary technique, and sacred discourses, Burack shows that Lawrence tries to initiate the reader into his own version of religious vitalism. Unlike...

Healing Identities: Black Feminist Thought and the Politics of Groups
ISBN: 9780801489372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Group identifications famously pose the problem of destructive rhetoric and action against others. Cynthia Burack brings together the theory work of women of color and the tools of psychoanalysis to examine the effects of group collaborations for social justice and progressive politics. Burack's discursive analysis suggests the positive, identity-affirming aspects of group relational life for African American women. One analytic response to groups emphasizes the dangers of these identifications and exhorts people to abandon or transcend them for their own good and for the good of others....

The Problem of the Passions: Feminism, Psychoanalysis, and Social Theory
ISBN: 9780814712528 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Women, says conventional wisdom, are warm, nurturing caregivers with an intrinsically enhanced capacity for attachment and compassion. Feminists, says the popular image, are full of rage, devoid of the feelings that are natural to women. How have feminists themselves dealt with this dualism and, more specifically, with the disagreeable passions? What has too often been missing from discussions of women's psychology in social theory is an account of women as ambivalent: both empathic and enraged, loving and hating. The Problem of the Passions fills this void. Examining the work of...
