The Fascination with Violence in Contemporary Society When Crime is Sublime (Repost)
Oriana Binik, "The Fascination with Violence in Contemporary Society: When Crime is Sublime"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030267431 | PDF | pages: 301 | 3.5 mb
This book directly explores the question of why contemporary society is so fascinated with violence and crime.The Fascination with Violence in Contemporary Society posits that the phenomenon is, in part, because we have all become consumers of the sublime: an intense and strongly ambiguous emotion which is increasingly commodified. Through the experience of violence and the sense of disorientation that accompanies it, we obsessively seek out moments of intensified existence.Equally, crime continues to speak to the depths of the collective unconscious, questioning us about our transience and the model of society we wish to live in. Binik proposes that this is why the reaction to violence has become a tool with which to express and take ownership of a desire for social cohesion.

The Day the Sun Fell

The Day the Sun Fell
Susan Bouterey, "The Day the Sun Fell"
English | ISBN: 1788780884 | 2019 | 216 pages | EPUB | 901 KB
The Day the Sun Fell captures on a deeply human and personal level the devastating effects of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in August 1945. The author, who at fourteen was seriously injured by the A-bomb, skilfully combines tender lyricism and stark realism to recount her own experiences and those of other members of her immediate and extended family in the aftermath of the bombing, and decades later. Not only a harrowing depiction of tragic historical events, nor just a remarkable story of survival, The Day the Sun Fell reveals aspects of the bombing never aired openly before, forcing the reader to pause to reflect on these haunting events and their continuing legacy seventy years on. It also makes for inspiring reading, for Hashizume never fails to discover hope and joy in living even in the darkest of moments.
