Addicted to Lust: Pornography in the Lives of Conservative Protestants

Abstract: Few other cultural issues alarm conservative Protestant families and communities more than the seemingly ubiquitous threat of pornography. Thanks to widespread access to the internet, conservative Protestants now face a reality in which every Christian man, woman, and child with a smartphone can access limitless pornography in his or her bathroom, at work, or at a friend’s sleepover. Once confident of their victory over pornography in society at large, conservative Protestants now fear that “porn addiction” is consuming even the most faithful. How are conservative Protestants adjusting to this new reality? And what are its consequences in their lives? Drawing on over 130 interviews, as well as numerous national surveys, Addicted to Lust shows that, compared to other Americans, pornography shapes the lives of conservative Protestants in ways that are uniquely damaging to their mental health, spiritual lives, and intimate relationships. Samuel Perry demonstrates how certain pervasive beliefs within the conservative Protestant subculture unwittingly create a context in which those who use pornography are often overwhelmed with shame and discouragement, sometimes to the point of depression or withdrawal from faith altogether. Conservative Protestant women who use pornography feel a “double shame,” both for sinning sexually and for sinning “like a man,” while conflicts over pornography in marriages are escalated with patterns of lying, hiding, blowing up, or threats of divorce. Addicted to Lust shines new light on one of the most talked-about problems facing conservative Christians.

Imagining Cleopatra: Performing Gender and Power in Early Modern England

Abstract: Cleopatra VII, Queen of Egypt, is one of the most renowned and enduring figures from antiquity, yet remains one of its most elusive. She has become part of a Western founding myth of Eastern otherness, and many of these perceptions of her as a mesmerising and mercurial siren are mediated through Shakespeare’s dramatic creation. There was, however, already a great interest in Cleopatra and her story in the sixteenth century well before Shakespeare wrote his play, and views of her were strongly conflicted and multi-faceted. Although she was condemned as an example of lust and luxury, there was also fascination with the legend of her drinking a priceless pearl, and admiration of her courage and nobility in following Antony in death. This thesis investigates images of Cleopatra in the early modern period and looks at how her story was transmitted and used in different circumstances. It combines a close reading of literary and dramatic works with historical and topical contexts, and considers evidence from material objects too. It looks at the representation of Cleopatra in the innovative neo-Senecan dramas of Mary Sidney and Samuel Daniel, their use of political allegory, and how their Cleopatras inflected Shakespeare’s. The thesis also investigates a remarkable portrait of a Jacobean lady, plausibly Lady Anne Clifford, depicted as Cleopatra, with an inscription from Daniel, and discusses what this may add to our understanding of female performance and tragic heroism in the period. Insights gained from a recent UCL staging of Daniel’s Cleopatra help to gauge the ‘infinite variety’ of early modern Cleopatras who emerged from centuries of myth-making about the Egyptian Queen. The thesis offers a new approach to the study of how Elizabethan and Jacobean political and dramatic cultures overlapped, by tracing the representation and reception of a single, catalytic figure.

This study uses a qualitative method. Data collection techniques used were observation and documentation. Analysis of the data used is the semiotic analysis of Roland Barthes, by observing pieces of the scene in the film. The results found that there are scenes depicting the character of patience in enduring life's trials, enduring lust, obeying God, preaching and being patient in relationships

When Language Limits the Lust: Moments of Desire in Ungendered Narrative

Abstract: Desire knows no boundaries. However, when an author depicts an amorous scene that involves ungendered characters – those whose gender is not disclosed in the text – language creates boundaries around the desire. Desire is chained and shackled under the restriction of language in an effort to keep the gender hidden. In ungendered narrative, bodies express desire, but we never know to what gender the bodies belong. The reader is in constant search of clues to gender-segregate the bodies, but the author does not let the reader succeed. Moreover, the gendered nature of language comes to the fore, making hiding gender a daunting task for writers. The author manipulates the language to depict the lust of bodies, devoid of gender. The description of intimate moments in gendered narratives is pleasure-inducing for readers, but in ungendered narratives it becomes a thorny issue. The solution to this problem is to stop searching for clues to a character’s gender by looking beyond the binaries of gender. The lovemaking should be treated as an act that does not require the knowledge of what is between legs, but the genuine desire in the heart. This realisation makes the readers sense the same passionate experience felt by the bodies of the characters. The readers witness how love transcends the limitation of gender and achieves greater significance at the hands of writers of ungendered narratives.

The Concept of Al-Qur’an and Islamic Law in Educating Wife and The Solution for Dispute Settlement in Household Violence

Abstract: The obligation to give a lesson to the wife is if he starts disobeying and shows nusyuz to his husband. So the husband is obliged to provide lessons, but giving the lesson is carried out in sequence, the first husband must give a warning to the wife gently and subtly like reminding him to fear Allah Almighty, if the wife is obedient again, then just enough there. If it still remains disobedient, then leave the wife alone, leaving her on the bed, not collecting it, especially when her lust peaks. If he is obedient, then it is enough to get there and gather the wife as before. But if it remains, the wife may be 'beaten' with a note not too loud and not injured.

Double standards on dress code and lust in the guise of tradition in the novel Umshado [Marriage], 2006, by N. Zulu: A feminist approac

Abstract: This article critically reviews the differences in attitudes and in language used between men and women through dialogue, especially when it comes to dress code, and with specific reference to N. Zulu’s novel Umshado . The various dresses worn by the protagonist, Tholakele, during her encounters with Bhekani portray her as a loose woman who always wishes to seduce men, and as one who is sexually available to men. But all that Tholakele seems to demand is that she should be allowed to dress in any attire she feels comfortable in, and to behave freely, as men do. She represents women who wish to introduce change, and who aspire to be placed on the same pedestal as their male counterparts. The novel, however, shows that women are chastised and ostracised when they try to break free from the shackles of patriarchy. Hence, we argue in this article that the juxtaposition of Tholakele’s behaviour, so disapproved of by the society, and that of Bhekani’s behaviour, shows double standards in the treatment of men and women.

Blood, Lust, and the Virgin Queen: Helen Mirren’s Elizabeth I

Abstract: Robison argues that Elizabeth I is the most plausible, coherent, and aesthetically satisfying among recent filmic depictions of the Virgin Queen. However, Helen Mirren’s brilliant performance, the outstanding supporting cast, the attention to period detail (especially costuming), the subtle treatment of Elizabeth’s struggle with lust, and the seeming realism of bloody punishments can lead viewers to overlook numerous historical inaccuracies, particularly the excessive focus on the queen’s largely imaginary romances with the Earls of Leicester and Essex. Yet for these very reasons, the film can be a valuable teaching tool when considered in conjunction with current scholarship.

The banishment of Beverland: sex, scripture, and scholarship in the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic

Abstract: Hadriaan Beverland (1650-1716) was banished from Holland in 1679. Why did this humanist scholar get into so much trouble in the most tolerant part of Europe in the seventeenth century? In an attempt to answer this question, this thesis places Beverland’s writings on sex, sin, Scripture, and scholarship in their historical context for the first time. Beverland argued that lust was the original sin and highlighted the importance of sex in human nature, ancient history, and his own society. His works were characterized by his erudite Latin, satirical style, and disregard for traditional genres and hierarchies in early modern scholarship. Dutch theologians disliked his theology and exegesis, and hated his use of erudition to mock their learning, morality, and authority. Beverland's humanist colleagues did not support his studies either, because they believed that drawing attention to the sexual side of the classics threatened the basis of the humanist enterprise. When theologians asked for his arrest and humanist professors left him to his fate, Dutch magistrates were happy to convict Beverland because he had insolently accused the political and economic, as well as the religious and intellectual elite of the Dutch Republic, of hypocrisy. By restricting sex to marriage, in compliance with Reformed doctrine, secular authorities upheld a sexual morality that was unattainable, Beverland argued. He proposed honest discussion of the problem of sex and suggested that greater sexual liberty for the male elite might be the solution. Beverland’s crime was to expose the gap between principle and practice in sexual relations in Dutch society, highlighting the hypocrisy of a deeply conflicted elite at a precarious time. His intervention came at the moment when the uneasy balance struck between Reformed orthodoxy, humanist scholarship, economic prosperity, and patrician politics, which had characterized the Golden Age of the Dutch Republic, was disintegrating, with unsettling consequences for all concerned. Placing Beverland's fate in this context of change provides a fresh perspective on the intellectual environment of the Republic in the last decades of the seventeenth century.

On Sexual Lust as an Emotion

Abstract: Sexual lust has frequently been viewed as a motivational appetite or urge, rather than as an emotional feeling. I argue that this view of lust is too limited. Using a “componentialist” theory of emotion that has Aristotelian roots and has recently been refined by an interdisciplinary cadre of emotion theorists, I argue that describing episodes of lust as emotional is both apt and helps to explain the psychological reciprocity and phenomenological richness of interpersonal lust, as it has been described by Thomas Nagel and others. In the process, I suggest a somewhat novel way of relating emotion and motivation, and hopefully put to rest some humanist concerns about the limits of scientific psychology.

Motion and e-motion: lust and the ‘frenzy of the visible’

Abstract: How and why did pornography become the lust-inducing genre we are familiar with today? Why did it narrow its once wide purpose of social critique to only producing sexual arousal and satisfaction? ...

The Class Struggle and the Socialist Left: 1980–2016

Abstract: This chapter describes and analyses the class struggle and the socialist Left in the years between 1980 and 2016. Lust argues that the high tide of the class struggle from below in the 1980s masked the structural weakening of the class struggle in the same decade. In the 1990s, the class struggle from above managed to significantly reduce the strength of the socialist Left and the trade unions. This class struggle caused an epochal change. In the first 16 years of the third millennium, the social-democratic Left has started to recuperate its forces. However, it seems that the socialist Left has been thrown back to the era of primitive political, ideological, and organizational accumulation. The vanguard of the class struggle is located in the countryside.

Changes in argument structure in Early Modern English with special reference to verbs of DESIRE: A case study of lust

Abstract: In Old and Middle English, several verbs of DESIRE could be found in impersonal constructions, a type of morphosyntactic pattern which lacks a subject marked for the nominative case controlling verbal agreement. The impersonal construction began to decrease in frequency between 1400 and 1500 (van der Gaaf 1904; Allen 1995), a development which has been recently investigated from the perspective of the interaction between impersonal verbs and constructional meaning by Trousdale (2008), Mohlig-Falke (2012) and Miura (2015). This paper is concerned specifically with the impersonal verb lust (< ME lusten) as a representative of Levin’s (1993) class of verbs of DESIRE, some of which developed into prepositional verbs in Present-day English. The main aim here is to explore the changes undergone by lust during the two centuries after it ceases to appear in impersonal constructions, as well as to reflect upon some of the possible motivations for such changes. The data are retrieved from Early English Books Online Corpus 1.0, a 525-millionword corpus, and the examples are analysed manually paying attention to the range of complementation patterns documented in Early Modern English (1500–1700).

Traditions which converge in Aquinas’ stand on sins of lust contra naturam

Abstract: The paper holds that in Aquinas’ study of sins against nature not only the biblical and the patristic traditions converge ostensibly, but also the Greek philosophical and Romanist heritage come together. The text deals with the question of what belonging to a moral tradition means and refutes the Gadamerian relativistic answer to this problem. The paper ends by showing with John Paul II that only a metaphysical, not merely hermeneutical understanding of the tradition is compatible with the Catholic faith. Streszczenie. Artykuł dowodzi, że w studium grzechów przeciwko naturze Tomasz z Akwinu na pozór łączy biblijne i patrystyczne tradycje, ale także wplata greckie i romanistyczne tradycje filozoficzne. Tekst próbuje odpowiedzieć na pytanie, co oznacza przynależność do tradycji moralnej i obala relatywistyczną odpowiedź Gadamera na ten problem. W konkluzji autor, za Janem Pawłem II, ukazuje, że tylko metafizyczne, a nie jedynie hermeneutyczne rozumienie tradycji jest zgodne z wiarą katolicką.

Chemistry of Love

Abstract: Love is not simply a matter of feelings of the heart. Rather, it entails a series of chemicals produced by the body which are triggered by the action of the brain. These chemicals are released at different stages in the cycle of love from lust, attraction, and attachment. They play essential roles which ultimately result in a long-lasting relationship between two consenting partners.

The Devil and the German People

Abstract: Historians have often noted a preoccupation with the power of the Devil in early modern Europe. The world of ordinary experience in the villages of sixteenth-century Germany was full of spirits, who might frighten the cattle, spoil the beer, keep butter from forming in the churn. The process of demonization has been particularly well studied in the area of Lutheran ethics, for here the process resulted in an entirely new genre of literature, the Teufelbucher, in which all the old vices of vanity, drunkenness, gluttony, lust, gambling, and infidelity were transformed. One fact on which both the learned, the illiterate would have agreed was the evident rise in demon possession in the second half of the sixteenth century. Realizing its dangers, Schmidt finally burned the book, but he suffered further temptations. Satan offered him money on one occasion and on another tempted him to hang himself, Schmidt resisted these advances until he was finally possessed by a highly frustrated Devil.

Translation as Style and Technique in the Hybrid Englishes of Raja Rao’s Kanthapura and Eileen Chang’s Lust, Caution

Abstract: The postcolonial writer and the translator of literary works possess similar literary challenges. Both are required to explicate unfamiliar elements from an original cultural source or text in a way that is comprehensible to a contemporary global audience. However, for the postcolonial writer this can amount to a certain didactic quality to the literary work, which is a devalued aesthetic within contemporary literary standards. As such, the writer incorporates translative elements in his creative process to get around the problem. To demonstrate this, I analyze and compare the works of two authors, Raja Rao and Eileen Chang. I argue that Rao’s incorporation of the Kannada language into Kanthapura strategically resists prevailing standards of cultural explication, while Eileen Chang’s initial draft of Lust, Caution, written in English as The Spyring, engages in overt cultural explication that fails to capture the nuances of its translated version. The intentional construct of linguistic and aesthetic permutations in both works can be characterized as an act of translation.

A Farewell to Arms: The Clash of Love and Religion in the Character of the Priest

Abstract: Investigating the interconnection between love and religion in Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms , in this article, the authors explore the conflictual nature of these concepts in the character of the priest. Harold Bloom cursorily remarks that the religious character of the novel, the priest, conveys the definition of love which is in contrast to lust and passion and Lieutenant Henry is greatly influenced by the priest. Here, however, we try to emphasize the conflicting sense of love in the character of the priest and maintain that the priest ambivalently waves aside Henry’s sensual love for Catherine and exerts himself to lead them towards a consecrated love. The priest, implicitly, scorns the sensual love between Henry and Catherine and allusively ignores Henry’s sensual love and redirects him into developing a religiously inspired love in his heart.

The Changing Class Structure of Peru: 1980–2016

Abstract: The evolution of the Peruvian class structure in the last thirty-six years has not been subject to empirical and analytical studies. Lust’s analysis of the class structure at the level of the country’s economic structure fills an important gap in academic research. This chapter’s examination of the bourgeoisie, the intermediate class, the proletariat, and the peasantry shows that the country’s class structure is an expression of the country’s role in the international division of labor and the apparent division of the economy in an advanced economy and a capitalist subsistence economy. The author finds that the principal changes in the class structure are located within the classes, and especially in relation to the distribution of the classes according to the size of the companies in terms of employment

Philosophical and religious aspects of the phenomenon of nostalgia

Abstract: The relevance of the research. The various approaches are analyzed on the essence of nostalgia, ranging from psychological understanding of this phenomenon as emigrant`s neurosis and mental illness to a more profound comprehension of it as a cultural and philosophical “universalia” that concerns complicated mechanisms of historical memory, identity, time and eternity. Analysis of research and publications. Among contemporary researchers investigating the ethical, religious and cultural-historical dimensions of nostalgia, there should be mentioned S. Boim, F. Davis, S. Merzlyakov, V. Nurkov, Y. Davydov, E. Loftus, O. Fedkov, M. Rewakowicz, M. Shkandrij, M. Boichenko, O. Yakovleva, V. Liakh, E. Novikov and many others researchers. The purpose of the paper is to examine the ethical and religious dimensions of nostalgia, to figure out the connection of nostalgia with the problems of memory, time and eternity. Presentation of the main research material. The article deals with the cultural phenomenon of nostalgia, its religious, ethical and general philosophical aspects. It is shown that nostalgia is based on memory value selectivity, due to which a moral tradition, social and individual identity, and the continuity of generations are established. Modern man rebels against the actual state of being as untrue and non-authentic. He feels nostalgia for the past as something right and proper. A person not only mythologizes, but also seeks to resurrect the past in a symbolic way. In this almost religious faith in the resurrection of what is gone there is an existential certainty for the final cancellation of time and triumph of eternity, within which everything is preserved and nothing is forgotten. Nostalgic lust for the past is inherent to humanity throughout its history and is especially actualized in the culture of postmodernism. Conclusion. Nostalgia is a kind of personal and social myth creation, the construction of the historical identity. It reconstructs the past, which appears not only valuable and significant for the present, but also proper. Nostalgia is a moral phenomenon based on a morally healthy memory, capable of forgiveness, reconciliation and love for one's own destiny. The attention is stressed on metaphysical, political and aesthetic forms of nostalgia that oppose destructive force of nihilism

İhtirasın Bedeli Bağdat Hatun Piyesinde İntikam Peşinde İki İnsan: Togay ve Bağdat Hatun

Abstract: Gungor Dilmen creates an example of historical drama by making some changes and reconstructing the main story in the historical event in Bagdat Hatun. Togay, who is the closest to Bahadir Khan in Bagdat Hatun, a play full of personal ambitions and passions, is an example of the villain archetype with his actions and attitudes; he also always affects Bahadir, the Ilkhanid khan, in a negative way. Bagdat Hatun, who sets an example for the traditional Turkish girl/woman before Bahadir Khan proposed marriage to her, exemplifies a female villain acting with her lust and passion after the marriage proposal of Bahadir Khan. Togay and Bagdat Hatun, with their lust and desire for revenge, cause both themselves and many others to die terribly. Bagdat Hatun was examined from different perspectives in independent publications or other studies related to the plays of Gungor Dilmen. In this study, Bagdat Hatun was analyzed and investigated by means of symbolic reading through archetypal literary criticism.
