Reading Fear in Flavian Epic Emotion, Power, and Stoicism

Reading Fear in Flavian Epic Emotion, Power, and Stoicism
Reading Fear in Flavian Epic: Emotion, Power, and Stoicism by Dalida Agri
English | October 31, 2022 | ISBN: 0192859307 | True EPUB/PDF | 256 pages | 0.8/1.5 MB
This book examines the textual representations of emotions, fear in particular, through the lens of Stoic thought and their impact on depictions of power, gender, and agency. It first draws attention to the role and significance of fear, and cognate emotions, in the tyrant's psyche, and then goes on to explore how these emotions, in turn, shape the wider narratives. The focus is on the lengthy epics of Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica, Statius' Thebaid, and Silius Italicus' Punica.

Punishing the Black Body Marking Social and Racial Structures in Barbados and Jamaica

Punishing the Black Body Marking Social and Racial Structures in Barbados and Jamaica
Dawn P. Harris, "Punishing the Black Body: Marking Social and Racial Structures in Barbados and Jamaica"
English | 2017 | pages: 275 | ISBN: 082035788X, 0820351725 | PDF | 2,5 mb
Punishing the Black Body examines the punitive and disciplinary technologies and ideologies embraced by ruling white elites in nineteenth-century Barbados and Jamaica. Among studies of the Caribbean on similar topics, this is the first to look at the meanings inscribed on the raced, gendered, and classed bodies on the receiving end of punishment. Dawn P. Harris uses theories of the body to detail the ways colonial states and their agents appropriated physicality to debase the black body, assert the inviolability of the white body, and demarcate the social boundaries between them.
