Re/Imagining Depression
Author: Julie Hollenbach
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030805549
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
What is depression? An “imagined sun, bright and black at the same time?” A “noonday demon?” In literature, poetry, comics, visual art, and film, we witness new conceptualizations of depression come into being. Unburdened by diagnostic criteria and pharmaceutical politics, these media employ imagery, narrative, symbolism, and metaphor to forge imaginative, exploratory, and innovative representations of a range of experiences that might get called “depression.” Texts such as Julia Kristeva’s Black Sun: Depression and Melancholia (1989), Andrew Solomon’s The Noonday Demon (2000), Allie Brosh’s cartoons, “Adventures in Depression” (2011) and “Depression Part Two” (2013), and Lars von Trier’s film Melancholia (2011) each offer portraits of depression that deviate from, or altogether reject, the dominant language of depression that has been articulated by and within psychiatry. Most recently, Ann Cvetkovich’s Depression: A Public Feeling (2012) has answered the author’s own call for a multiplication of discourses on depression by positing crafting as one possible method of working through depression-as-“impasse.” Inspired by Cvetkovich’s efforts to re-shape the depressive experience itself and the critical ways in which we communicate this experience to others, Re/Imagining Depression: Creative Approaches to “Feeling Bad” harnesses critical theory, gender studies, critical race theory, affect theory, visual art, performance, film, television, poetry, literature, comics, and other media to generate new paradigms for thinking about the depressive experience. Through a combination of academic essays, prose, poetry, and interviews, this anthology aims to destabilize the idea of the mental health “expert” to instead demonstrate the diversity of affects, embodiments, rituals and behaviors that are often collapsed under the singular rubric of “depression.”

Demons Nephilim Angels

Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1490731733
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
In Demons, Nephilim, and Angels, Etienne explains how Satan, his demons, fallen angels, aliens, and the giant Nephilim originated and have infiltrated the original earth, the chaotic earth, the restored earth, and the world that we live in. The original earth was a spiritual world that included Lucifer, the angels, cherubs, seraphim, and other created beings and heaven. God created Lucifer and the angels to serve Him. Lucifer was determined to exercise his will to sit on God's throne. He wanted to be God and not a servant of God. Lucifer was a hybrid being, half-man and half-angel. He was the cause of the chaotic earth. In the chaotic earth, God was angry with Lucifer for trying to take His place and tampering with the genes/DNA of the other creatures that lived on the earth and the planets at that time. God destroyed the earth and Rahab, where Lucifer was king, with a flood and turned it upside down and in darkness. Lucifer was kicked out of heaven and demoted to the prince of the power of the air. After God restored the earth and recreated it, He made mankind in His image. Lucifer detests mankind and wants to alter our DNA.

Fierce Angels
Author: Sheri Parks
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1613745079
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The &“Strong Black Woman&” has been a part of mainstream culture for centuries, as a myth, a goddess, a positive role model, a stereotype, and as a burden. In Fierce Angels, Sheri Parks explores the concept of the Strong Black Woman, its influence on people of all races, and the ways in which black women respond to and are affected by this image. Originating in the ancient Sacred Dark Feminine as a nurturing and fierce goddess, the Strong Black Woman can be found in myths from every continent. Slaves and slave owners alike brought the legend to America, where the spiritual icon evolved into the secular Strong Black Woman, with examples ranging from the slave Mammy to the poet Maya Angelou. She continues to appear in popular culture in television and movies, such as Law and Order and The Help, and as an inspirational symbol associated with the dispossessed in political movements, in particular from Africa. The book presents the stories of historical and living black women who embody the role and puts the icon in its historical and evolutionary context, presenting a balanced account of its negative and positive impact on black culture. This new paperback edition has been revised from the hardcover edition to include two new chapters that expand on the transformative Dark Feminine in alchemy and Western literature and a chapter on the political uses and further potential of the Sacred Dark Feminine in social justice movements in the United States and abroad.
