Perverse Feelings Poe and American Masculinity


Free Download Suzanne Ashworth, "Perverse Feelings: Poe and American Masculinity"
English | ISBN: 1793626529 | 2022 | 234 pages | EPUB | 538 KB
Perverse Feelings: Poe and American Masculinity examines white masculinity in Poe’s fiction and the culture it represents. Poe’s men are tormented by chronic illness, deviant attachments, and ugly emotions. As it analyzes these afflictions, this book illuminates the pathologies of American masculinity that emerged in a terrible history of imperialism, capitalism, racism, misogyny, and homophobia. One of its central contentions is that we can better understand a past and present American masculinity through a reckoning with its "perverse feelings." More pointedly, this book asks: What does masculinity feel? What does white American masculinity feel in the first decades of nation formation? What does it feel in the crucible of its revolution, its slave system, its democracy, its nascent capitalism, and its pursuit of happiness? What feelings besiege and beleaguer Poe’s men? And what can they teach us about the antagonisms of contemporary white American masculinity?

From pop culture podcaster and a voice of a generation, Kate Kennedy, a celebration of the millennial zeitgeist.

Kate is a pop culture commentator and host of the popular millennial-focused podcast Be There in Five. Part-funny, part-serious, Kate navigates the complicated nature of celebrating and criticizing the culture that shaped her as a woman, while arguing that great depths can come from surface-level interests. With her trademark style and vulnerability, One In a Millennial is sharp, hilarious, and heartwarming all at once. She tackles AOL Instant Messenger, purity culture, American Girl Dolls, going out tops, Spice Girl feminism, her feelings about millennial motherhood, and more.

Feelings of Believing Psychology, History, Phenomenology


Free Download Ryan Hickerson, "Feelings of Believing: Psychology, History, Phenomenology"
English | ISBN: 1498577172 | 2020 | 334 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 2 MB
In Feelings of Believing: Psychology, History, Phenomenology, Ryan Hickerson demonstrates that philosophers as diverse as Hume, Descartes, Husserl, and William James all treated believing as feeling. He argues that doxastic sentimentalism, therefore, is considerably more central to modern epistemology than philosophers have recognized. When the empirical psychology of overconfidence and attention is brought to bear on the history of philosophy and the phenomenology of believing, all point toward belief as fundamentally affective. Understanding believing as feeling has the potential to make us better believers, both by encouraging suspicion of unexamined certainties and by focusing attention on credulity. Hickerson argues that believing is typically felt but not given attention by the believer, and he suggests that virtuous believers are those who pay careful attention to their own sentiments- who attempt to raise their beliefs to the level of judgments.
