Описание:
A New Beginning: Hannah Tallerin was sure that all of her problems were over. No longer a vampire, her soul tethered to a mortal body, she was finally free from her old life and content to be with her beloved Rory, the two of them building a perfectly normal mortal life, the life she'd been dreaming of. An Unexpected Arrival: But when the original owner of the body wakes up, Hannah turns to her oldest friend for answers. As the voice in her head gets more insistent, her once-betrothed offers his help. Hannah knows that any aid from Klauden comes at a price, the cost of which may be more than she can pay, and soon she will have to decide how far she is willing to go for the one she loves. A Final Battle: The battle for her soul has begun, but when the real enemies arrive, Hannah realizes she will have to fight for her body as well.

Описание: Evoking memories of the past and aspirations for the future to create unique contemporary interiors. Interior design should not be sterile or static; it's a living extension of art meant to be touched, used, and admired. This mindset is the heart of Brian Paquette's interiors. Beginning with the motto, "Function and comfort, first and always," Paquette explores each client's interests and lifestyle to create homes that reflect their identity, history, and aspirations. Integrating the placement of furniture, exposure to light, surface texture, and art, a client's memories are translated into an evocative presence in the home, anchoring them to their past while providing a space of comfort and function for their future. At Home provides inspiration to replicate these methods in your own home regardless of style or budget. How does a person keep their memories alive in a home? Through fabric? A particular scent? Surface texture? Light exposure? Considering these elements and others, this is how Brian Paquette builds a room. By sharing each unique process of design for the ten homes featured in his book, readers can begin to consider their own memories and aspirations for how they too can create a home interior that is a true reflection of themselves.

Описание:
Twenty years after Universal horror movies, the Hammer studio brought back to life the great mythical figures inspired from British literature as well as French and European folklore (Dracula, Frankenstein, the Werewolf, the Phantom of the Opera, etc.). It invented new incarnations rooted in a precise historical context and revisited according to the evolution of British society. This independent studio constitutes a notable stage in the history of the genre between the Gothic horror of the 1930s and the more radical productions of the 1970s, which eventually contributed to its demise. Focusing on the peculiar balance between Hammer’s inventiveness and classicism, this volume mainly explores the lesser-known productions, examining as well its contradictions, paradoxes and limitations.
The book raises the question of the paradoxical modernity of films that are innovative in various respects (themes, modes of representation challenging censorship, aesthetics), but are also trying to resurrect a dying tradition, mostly offering a rather surprisingly conservative discourse despite their efforts to comply with the expectations of new audiences. The films born from the recent Hammer renaissance are still referring to this bygone Golden Age of the horror film. One may wonder whether the Hammer studio was a mere factory churning out mostly conventional horror films now buried in the dust of a gothic dungeon, or a true laboratory of modern cinematic horror whose past glory still inspires contemporary filmmakers. This volume will provide some answers and raise quite a few questions.

Описание: A vital and timely contribution to the growing scholarship on the political thought of Alain Badiou Is inattention to questions of race more than just incidental to Alain Badiou’s philosophical system? Universal Emancipation reveals a crucial weakness in the approach to (in)difference in political life of this increasingly influential French thinker. With white nationalist movements on the rise, the tensions between commitments to universal principles and attention to difference and identity are even more pressing. Elisabeth Paquette’s powerful critical analysis demonstrates that Badiou’s theory of emancipation fails to account for racial and racialized subjects, thus attenuating its utility in thinking about freedom and justice. The crux of the argument relies on a distinction he makes between culture and politics, whereby freedom only pertains to the political and not the cultural. The implications of this distinction become evident when she turns to two examples within Badiou’s theory: the N?gritude movement and the Haitian Revolution. According to Badiou’s 2017 book Black, while N?gritude is an important cultural movement, it cannot be considered a political movement because N?gritude writers and artists were too focused on particularities such as racial identity. Paquette argues that Badiou’s discussion of N?gritude mirrors that of Jean-Paul Sartre in his 1948 essay “Black Orpheus” that has been critiqued by leading critical race theorists. Second, prominent Badiou scholar Nick Nesbitt claims that the Haitian Revolution could only be considered political if its adherents had shifted their focus away from race. However, Paquette argues that not only was race a central feature of this revolution but also that the revolution ought to be understood as a political emancipation movement. Paquette also moves beyond Badiou, drawing on the groundbreaking work of Sylvia Wynter to offer an alternative framework for emancipation. She juxtaposes Badiou’s use of universality as indifference to difference with Wynter’s pluri-conceptual theory of emancipation, emphasizing solidarity over indifference. Paquette then develops her view of a pluri-conceptual theory of emancipation, wherein particular identities, such as race, need not be subtracted from a theory of emancipation.

Описание:
Avec ses hommes en chapeaux melon flottant dans le ciel, ou sa repr sentation d'une pipe au-dessus de la l gende Ceci n'est pas une pipe , Ren Magritte (1898-1967) a transform ses toiles en chambre d' cho pour objets et images, noms et choses, r alit et repr sentation.
Comme d'autres oeuvres surr alistes, les tableaux de Magritte allient une technique pr cise et mim tique des configurations anormales et ali nantes qui d fient les lois de la proportion, de la logique et de la science: un peigne de la taille d'une armoire, des rochers flottant dans le ciel, des nuages qui entrent par une porte ouverte. Le tout cr e un univers direct mais d concertant, souvent dr le et souvent troublant qui nous pousse toujours au-del du visible, vers ce qui est cach par ce que l'on voit .
Ce livre d'introduction explore la vaste palette de Magritte, faite d'humour visuel, de paradoxe et de surprise de l'artiste qui nous am ne aujourd'hui encore contempler sans cesse ses tableaux aussi bien que notre conception du monde et de nous-m mes.

Описание:
Chris and Sofia are going to find it steamy under the spotlight
Living in Hollywood, Chris Chandler has just about everything that he could ever dream of: a People's Choice Award, lead actor in an acclaimed television series, anything and everything money could buy. Most people would be happy with all of that, but not Chris. As Hollywood's most eligible bachelor, it is difficult to find the one person he wants to spend the rest of his life with, especially living under the constant scrutiny of the paparazzi. Every relationship he's had with a woman--from friends only to dating to semi-serious--gets dissected until there's nothing left. What he needs now, what he wants, is something with no strings attached. Sofia Larson is not your typical escort. She works for Private Lives, a company where the women they employ and the men that seek their company sign contracts, swearing themselves to silence and secrecy. What happens with each encounter is up to Sofia; while companionship is a guarantee, sex is not. Having an obscene amount of bills to pay, Sofia is only in it for the money. Her motto is "Don't get involved, don't get emotional, and don't bring the job home." And then she meets Chris Chandler.
