Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities
By John Wei. 2020
In Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities, John Wei brings light to the germination and movements of queer cultures and social…
practices in today’s China and Sinophone Asia. While many scholars attribute China’s emergent queer cultures to the neoliberal turn and the global political landscape, Wei refuses to take these assumptions for granted. He finds that the values and pitfalls of the development-induced mobilities and post-development syndromes have conjointly structured and sustained people’s ongoing longings and sufferings under the dual pressure of compulsory familism and compulsory development. While young gay men are increasingly mobilized in their decision-making to pursue sociocultural and socioeconomic capital to afford a queer life, the ubiquitous and compulsory mobilities have significantly reshaped and redefined today’s queer kinship structure, transnational cultural network, and social stratification in China and capitalist Asia. With Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities, Wei interrogates the meanings and functions of mobilities at the forefront of China’s internal transformation and international expansion for its great dream of revival, when gender and sexuality have become increasingly mobilized with geographical, cultural, and social class migrations and mobilizations beyond traditional and conventional frameworks, categories, and boundaries.

that expound exclusively about karawitan (the combined vocal and instrumental music of the gamelan). Scholar Judith Becker has culled several key sources on karawitan into three volumes and has translated them for the benefit of the Western student of the gamelan tradition. The texts in her collection were written over a forty-five-year time period (ca 1930–1975) and include articles by Martopangrawit, Sumarsam, Sastrapustaka, Gitosaprodjo, Sindoesawarno, Poerbapangrawit, Probohardjono, Warsadiningrat, Purbodiningrat, Poerbatjaraka, and Paku Buwana X. The final volume also contains a glossary of technical terms, an appendix of the Javanese cipher notations (titilaras kepatihan), a biographical listing, and an index to the musical pieces (Gendhing).

Mematahkan Kutuk Keturunan: Mengklaim Kebebasan Anda
By Gabriel Agbo. 2019
Buku ini akan membuka mata Anda tentang akibat dari semua tindakan kita pada tujuan hidup kita dan anak-anak kita; sekalipun…
mereka belum lahir. Persoalan kutuk sudah lama diabaikan, dan kami merasa itu perlu diungkapkan di sini. Kita mulai dengan masuk ke dalam ayat-ayat Alkitab agar mengetahui apa yang sebenarnya difirmankan Tuhan tentang hal itu, cara kerjanya, dan cara kita agar benar-benar bebas darinya. Kutuk keturunan sangat penting sehingga Tuhan memasukkannya dalam tabel 10 Perintah Allah. Begitu banyak orang yang diikat oleh musuh dengan alat perbudakan yang tidak terlihat dan tidak bisa dikenali. Dalam pembahasan ini, kita akan diajari cara untuk meremukkan belenggu yang berasal dari musuh ini. Kita menelusuri lebih dalam ke area seperti penyembahan berhala (Termasuk Halloween), amoralitas, pengkhianatan, pencurian, pembunuhan, dll. Saya yakin ketika Anda membaca buku ini dan menyelidiki kebenarannya, akan ada dorongan dalam diri Anda untuk menguji diri sendiri serta melakukan upaya yang disengaja untuk hidup dalam kekudusan jika bukan untuk diri sendiri, setidaknya demi kepentingan anak-anak Anda dan generasi yang belum lahir.
Mainan Seks: Baik atau Jahat?
By Gabriel Agbo. 2019
Pedagang mainan seks mengumpulkan miliaran dolar setiap tahun. Produk mereka sangat beragam dan hari ini tersedia di setiap bagian dunia.…
Sekarang, ini mirip seperti bisnis yang secara artifisial atau teknologi merangsang dan memuaskan hasrat seksual sedang trendi. Orang lajang, sudah menikah, tua, muda, saat ini menjadi pelanggan setia toko-toko mainan seks dan produsennya, secara bijak juga, terus membuat alat-alat yang lebih menarik dan canggih. Sepertinya kecerdasan inovatif mereka tidak berhenti untuk menemukan alat-alat pemuas seksual baru ini. Saat ini beberapa alat ini bertindak dan berperilaku persis seperti pasangan lawan jenis dalam bertindak. Benar. Namun di sini, kita ingin melihat asal, niat, dan akibat dari alat ini bagi pemakai, terutama implikasi secara rohani serta psikologis. Mainan seks bukan barang baru. Mainan seks memiliki sejarah panjang yang dimulai dengan pemakaian benda-benda ukiran yang melambangkan penis. Bangsa Romawi, Yunani, Tionghoa, Asia, dan India kuno sudah memakai benda-benda ukiran yang terbuat dari batu, besi, emas, kayu, serta bahan lainnya untuk mendorong masturbasi. Beberapa di antaranya (seperti bangsa Yunani) menyembah dewa dan dewi seks; di situlah benda-benda inilah ditampilkan, dipakai, dan perbuatan amoral seksual juga dipromosikan secara luas, termasuk hubungan seks dengan iblis serta roh. Jadi, kita bisa sepantasnya mengatakan bahwa dasar dari mainan seks berasal dari hasrat untuk kesenangan ‘tanpa batas’ dan penyembahan para dewa iblis. Penemuan ini berubah menjadi benda lain dan pada abad ke-20 kita melihat vibrator listrik pertama ditemukan. Sejak saat itu, banyak sekali buku petunjuk tentang hal ini dan kemudian menjadi alat kesenangan seksual yang canggih. Beberapa di antaranya bisa berkedip dan berbicara! Wow! Sekarang, apakah mainan seks termasuk dalam rencana semula Tuhan? Dan karena hubungan seksual adalah pertalian secara jasmani, emosi, serta rohani, apakah ini memiliki efek samping sec
Most Evil II is Steve Hodel's follow-up investigation (2009-2015) into his father's potential murders and introduces new evidence and additional…
linkage obtained by him over the past six years. Included in that evidence, is the solving of the Zodiac's forty-five year cryptic cipher, which gives us the answer to the question asked in Most Evil, "Were Black Dahlia Avenger and Zodiac the same serial killer?" The solution of that cipher provides us with the name of San Francisco's most infamous serial killer. However, it is not presented as just another "theory" from some armchair detective, or even from the author himself, a highly respected, veteran LAPD homicide detective. Rather, the solution comes from the killer's own mouth, written in his own hand--it is Zodiac's personally signed confession!

running exposition, in English, of the Latin grammar covered in Hans H. Ørberg's Familia Romana, and includes the complete text of the Ørberg ancillaries Grammatica Latina and Latin–English Vocabulary. It also serves as a substitute for Ørberg's Latine Disco, on which it is based. As it includes no exercises, however, it is not a substitute for the Ørberg ancillary Exercitia Latina I. Though designed especially for those approaching Familia Romana at an accelerated pace, this volume will be useful to anyone seeking an explicit layout of Familia Romana's inductively-presented grammar. In addition to many revisions of the text, the Second Edition also includes new units on cultural context, tied to the narrative content of the chapter.

Epistola ad Joannem Millium
By G. P. Goold, Richard Bentley. 1962
The year 1962 marks the tercentenary of the birth of Richard Bentley (1662-1742), Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, editor of…
Paradise Lost, but principally and justly famous as one of the greatest classical scholars. To mark the event, the University of Toronto Press is issuing a special reprint of Alexander Dyce's edition of the Epistola (1691), the work which first brought Bentley fame, and which has long been out of print.This Latin exercise was called forth by one of those unhappy productions which, mediocre themselves, have had the ill luck to attract the inspection of genius. In the eighth or ninth century A.D., Joannes Malelas of Antioch, a Greek writer, attempted a chronological record of mankind and in it he had recourse to name or quote from classical works no longer extant. English scholars in the seventeenth century prepared a translation of the chronicle into Latin and an accompanying commentary; just before its publication, under the final editorship of John Mill, Bentley was given an opportunity to read proof-sheets and the result was the Epistola, a collection mainly of some twenty-five notes upon statements found in or topics suggested by Malelas. This extraordinary performance by a scholar of 29 moves from one topic to another over a wide range of ancient literature, explaining or correcting some sixty Greek and Latin authors. The notes are not so much a commentary on the old chronicler as a set of dazzling dissertations pegged upon a random set of appalling howlers, and they reveal prodigious information and gift of divination. Bentley's style in Latin is clear and spirited and seasoned with choice of quotation. The Epistola immediately secured for its writer the fame reserved for men of the rarest excellence and this classic among academic productions is still charged with power to instruct and inspire the scholarship of another era.
