To be a woman in the 25th Century world of Alfred Bester’s The Stars My Destination is to lead an inherently dangerous and confined existence. In it, jaunting–an act more or less equivalent to teleporting–has made women into something of a protected class in the face of the looming threat of sexual assault. Many, such as Jisbella McQueen and Olivia Presteign, express, in their own divergent ways, a dissatisfaction with this existence, and seek to either overtly or in secret defy its confines.…

The expectations and conventions in relation to the form of genre to a substantial degree play a pivotal role for the satirist, as it serves the purpose of masquerading original intent. This creates an aura of deception, allowing the satirist to mimic the authenticity of this mode of discourse, in order to create a greater comedic scenario. In this instance, the genre conventions are compromised by the ease they can be used to dissimulate and their ability to insinuate perspectives and ideas…

by doodling in the margins and nearly had a panic attack once I realized what I had done. It didn't go well. I was born in 1100 BC in Greece (making me 3,113 years old), along with my little sister Emmalisanine Keres (3,028 years). I started transcendence (basically the process of learning magic and becoming immortal as a result) in 1538 AD. I lived in Tartarus for around 130 years and re-emerged in September of 1666 in London. After a few centuries I decided to stop causing accidents and start…

relegation to the dustbin of any Good-Samaritan-style compassion for ethnic others,” “the new understanding of ethnic others as animals to be exploited or disease to be extirpated,” “the championing of one's own ethnicity,” and the finding of transcendence in offspring and ancestors, to replace the…

Swan Lake has been performed throughout the world for more than a hundred years by major ballet companies and famous ballet dancers. It is a satisfying saga of love, longing, betrayal, death, and transcendence, brought to the stage with beautiful choreography and wonderful music. According to Juhasz, although companies have usually made changes to Petipa and Ivanov’s nineteenth-century choreography to suit the aesthetic of the time or a particular choreographer’s vision, all in all most versions…

A Ribbon Chapel of unprecedented composition can be found in the garden of the resort hotel “Bella Vista Sakaigahama,” in Onomichi Hiroshima. Designed by Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP Architects and constructed in 2013, this freestanding building rises helically through two entwining spiral stairways to architecturally embody the act of marriage in pure form. They cross paths at several points to provide support for one another, conjuring Luce Irigaray’s theory “Mucous of the Carnal”, whereby a…

Although verging on the progressive, Richard II presents a rudimentary version of this procedure when Bolingbroke listens to testimony regarding the death of the Duke of Glouster. This trial, like that of treason, was considered a criminal offence and, therefore, scholar J.H. Barker would posit that a petty jury was warranted based upon a breach of the king's peace as he writes, "[t]he classical form of the 'petty jury' appeared first in criminal suits, where its use was warranted by the…

Caring by Providing Comfort “Although nurses are spending much time doing documentation, little information reflects the essence of nurses’ caring behaviors” (Weyant, Clukey, Roberts & Henderson, 2017, p.116). Nurses are required to check vital signs, complete assessments and chart these objective findings. The fact that these findings are normal often leads a nurse to believe the patient is well, and that our caring for that patient is complete. When in truth, the subjective feelings and…
