Jamie Dornan: Shades of Desire

Autor: Alice Montgomery

Número de Páginas: 211

The first, intimate biography of Jamie Dornan as he takes on one of the most iconic characters in fiction - Christian Grey. Jamie Dornan is about to become the hottest sex symbol on the planet after landing the leading role in the Fifty Shades of Grey movies. But he remains almost as enigmatic as Mr Grey himself. Jamie Dornan: Shades of Desire will reveal everything fans want to know about the mysterious Mr Dornan, from his tragic childhood to his career as a Calvin Klein model, dating Keira Knightley to finding love with his wife Amelia Warner. How does his part as a BDSM-loving billionaire sit alongside his real life role as a family man and father to a young daughter? And how will he cope with fame as the Fifty Shades of Grey films launch him into superstardom? This biography will be the first to show what Jamie Dornan is really like behind closed doors.

Ecopiety

Ecopiety

Autor: Sarah Mcfarland Taylor

Número de Páginas: 367

Tackles a human problem we all share―the fate of the earth and our role in its future Confident that your personal good deeds of environmental virtue will save the earth? The stories we encounter about the environment in popular culture too often promote an imagined moral economy, assuring us that tiny acts of voluntary personal piety, such as recycling a coffee cup, or purchasing green consumer items, can offset our destructive habits. No need to make any fundamental structural changes. The trick is simply for the consumer to buy the right things and shop our way to a greener future. It’s time for a reality check. Ecopiety offers an absorbing examination of the intersections of environmental sensibilities, contemporary expressions of piety and devotion, and American popular culture. Ranging from portrayals of environmental sin and virtue such as the eco-pious depiction of Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey, to the green capitalism found in the world of mobile-device “carbon sin-tracking” software applications, to the socially conscious vegetarian vampires in True Blood, the volume illuminates the work pop culture performs as both a mirror and an engine for the...

Inside Grey’s Anatomy: The Unauthorized Biography of Jamie Dornan

Inside Grey’s Anatomy: The Unauthorized Biography of Jamie Dornan

Autor: Marc Shapiro

Número de Páginas: 79

Jamie Dornan came to the role of Christian Grey in the motion picture Fifty Shades of Grey as Hollywood's answer to a prayer when the original actor, Charlie Hunnam, left the picture a scant three weeks before production was set to begin. But the reality was that Dornan's being thrust into “Instant” celebrity was more than a decade in the making chronicled in entertaining depth in the Inside Grey's Anatomy: The Unauthorized Biography of Jamie Dornan by New York Times best-selling author Marc Shapiro. Dornan' story is ripe with pathos, talent, determination and luck. After losing his mother at an early age, Dornan struggled with frustration and aimlessness as he attempted to find his way in the world. Luck entered the picture when he stumbled into the world of international modeling where, after being dubbed The Golden Torso, he reluctantly rode the glitz and glamour, making money, dating the most sought-after women but ultimately chaffing as he dreamed of becoming an actor. His determination finally kicked open the door with important works in both television and film. Finally the phone rang early one morning and Christian Grey was born.

The Real Steele: The Unauthorized Biography of Dakota Johnson

The Real Steele: The Unauthorized Biography of Dakota Johnson

Autor: Marc Shapiro

Número de Páginas: 76

Those who don't believe in miracles should take a look at what brought Dakota Johnson from obscurity to the pinnacle of stardom as Anastasia Steele in the motion picture Fifty Shades of Grey. But who is Dakota Johnson? A surprisingly accomplished and driven actress. This is not some celebrity kid given a plum role because of her connections to old-world Hollywood. In The Real Steele: The Unauthorized Biography of Dakota Johnson you’ll see how she went from a life of tranquility and, yes, privilege at the feet of superstar parents Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, to a determination to succeed that has led her down many paths. First there was a career as an international model, then to growing recognition in a string of successful studio and independent films and, finally, to her big break in Fifty Shades of Grey, Johnson has proven a literal force of nature, always moving forward and always using a natural sense of positive energy to dissuade the naysayers who would line up to take her down. Through exclusive interviews with childhood friends and acting coaches, Marc Shapiro has put Johnson's life and times, much like the actress herself, in a straightforward and always enticing ...

Masculinities, Sexualities and Love

Masculinities, Sexualities and Love

Autor: Aliraza Javaid

Número de Páginas: 345

It can be said that societies today know little of how gender, sexuality and love interconnect in dissimilar contexts, and how they are collectively shaped by social structures. Underpinned by the theoretical writings of Michel Foucault, Masculinities, Sexualities and Love examines a range of empirical data, including interviews with gay and bisexual men, to understand the ways in which love is constructed and conceptualized. Clearly written, the book is grounded in personal narratives and intimate stories of love, hurt, pain and heartbreak, including the author’s own experiences; and analysed using theoretical frameworks such as hegemonic masculinity, heteronormativity, and post-structuralism. Furthermore, the reader will also find insightful discourse analysis of popular films, such as Fifty Shades of Grey and The Girl on the Train, to examine the construction of love through film. Forming a timely intervention, Masculinities, Sexualities and Love offers a fresh perspective on the sociology of love and will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as Gender and Sexuality Studies, Cultural Studies and Sociology.

Les Femmes s'emmerdent au lit

Les Femmes s'emmerdent au lit

Autor: Sonia Feertchak

Número de Páginas: 132

« Longtemps je me suis emmerdée au lit, auprès d'amants qui devaient s'emmerder aussi, sauf qu'à l'époque je ne m'en rendais pas compte. » Pourquoi sommes-nous si nombreuses à nous délecter sans complexe des ébats littéraires et cinématographiques d'une héroïne saucissonnée et fouettée ? Les féministes se seraient-elles battues en vain ? Comment expliquer que l'hypersexualisation des filles fasse tant d'émules alors que cette tendance, directement issue de la pornographie, est à ce titre conspuée ? Pourquoi les hommes n'osent-ils plus montrer leur désir pour des Superwomen revendiquées... qui ne demandent qu'à partager leur énergie vitale ? D'où vient que les images du désir ont déferlé sur notre société, tandis que nous doutons toujours davantage d'être assez désiré(e)s, d'être assez désirant(e)s ? En convoquant Simone de Beauvoir ou Virginie Despentes, mais aussi Balzac, Milo Manara, Demi Moore ou Barbie, Sonia Feertchak se plonge dans l'histoire et la physiologie du désir, interrogeant les notions devenues suspectes de virilité et de féminité pour tenter, enfin, d'analyser pourquoi tant de femmes (et d'hommes) s'emmerdent au lit. Il est...

The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child

The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child

Autor: Amy Billone

Número de Páginas: 193

This book investigates the reappearance of the 19th-century dream-child from the Golden Age of Children's Literature, both in the Harry Potter series and in other works that have reached unprecedented levels of popular success today. Discussing Harry Potter as a reincarnation of Lewis Carroll's Alice and J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, Billone goes on to examine the recent resurrection of Alice in Tim Burton's Alice, and of Peter Pan in Michael Jackson and in James Bond. Visiting trends that have emerged since the Harry Potter series ended, the book studies revisions of the dream-child in texts and films that have inspired mass fandom in the twenty-first century: Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, E.L. James's 50 Shades of Grey and Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games. The volume argues that the 21st-century desire to achieve dream-states in relationship to eternal youth results from the way that dreams provide a means of realizing the fantastic yet alarming possibility of escaping from time. This current identification with the dream-child stems from the threat of political unrest and economic and environmental collapse as well as from the simultaneous technophilia and technophobia of a culture...

Autor: Jo Berry

Número de Páginas: 197

Jamie Dornan is becoming a megastar. His announcement as lead role Christian Grey in the upcoming film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey caused a media frenzy and he has been hitting the headlines ever since. After Charlie Hunnam drastically stepped away from the role, the model-turned-actor Dornan was catapulted into the international spotlight. As well as modelling for Calvin Klein alongside Kate Moss, he appeared in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, has dated Keira Knightley, was cast as the sheriff in the hit US fantasy TV drama Once Upon a Time, and followed it up with an acclaimed leading performance in the Gillian Anderson-starring TV thriller The Fall. Now set for the part of auburn-haired, sexually deviant billionaire Christian Grey, this book will reveal 50 shades of Jamie Dornan - a no holds barred biography of the man who, come 2015, everyone will want to know intimately.

Buffy to Batgirl

Buffy to Batgirl

Autor: Julie M. Still , Zara T. Wilkinson

Número de Páginas: 253

Science fiction and fantasy are often thought of as stereotypically male genres, yet both have a long and celebrated history of female creators, characters, and fans. In particular, the science fiction and fantasy heroine is a recognized figure made popular in media such as Alien, The Terminator, and Buffy, The Vampire Slayer. Though imperfect, she is strong and definitely does not need to be saved by a man. This figure has had an undeniable influence on The Hunger Games, Divergent, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and many other, more recent female-led book and movie franchises. Despite their popularity, these fictional women have received inconsistent scholarly interest. This collection of new essays is intended to help fill a gap in the serious discussion of women and gender in science fiction and fantasy. The contributors are scholars, teachers, practicing writers, and other professionals in fields related to the genre. Critically examining the depiction of women and gender in science fiction and fantasy on both page and screen, they focus on characters who are as varied as they are interesting, and who range from vampire slayers to time travelers, witches, and spacefarers.

Mind, Body, and Emotion in the Reception and Creation Practices of Fan Communities

Mind, Body, and Emotion in the Reception and Creation Practices of Fan Communities

Autor: Jessica Hautsch

Número de Páginas: 231

This book argues that fans’ creative works form a cognitive system; fanfic, fanvids, and gifs are not simply evidence of thinking, but acts of thinking. Drawing on work in cognitive linguistics, neuroscience, cognitive philosophy, and psychology—particularly focused on 4-E cognition, which rejects Cartesian dualism–this project demonstrates that cognition is an embodied, emotional, and distributed act that emerges from fans’ interactions with media texts, technological interfaces, and fan collectives. This mode of textual engagement is deeply physical, emotional, and social and is enacted through fanworks. By developing a theory of critical closeness, this book proposes a methodology for fruitfully putting cognitive science in conversation with fan studies.

Rethinking Romantic Love

Rethinking Romantic Love

Autor: Begonya Enguix , Jordi Roca

Número de Páginas: 310

This volume is the result of a thorough exploration of contemporary conceptions of romantic love from different points of view. Beginning with an initial text where the meanings of romantic love are discussed theoretically and historically, the contributions gathered here present current discussions about love in the present day and in different geographical contexts that range from Hungary to Italy or Spain. The first part of the book is devoted to the analysis of mobilities for the sake of love as a result of globalization. These mobilities are analysed in relation to love ideals, to gender equality and to online searches for the ideal partners. The second part of the book deals with the exploration of different imaginaries of love in particular geographical contexts. The topics dealt with here include love as sickness, love and violence, love ideals for men engaged in gender equality and love ideals for those who engage in cross-dressing practices. In the third part, writing about and for love is addressed. Love writings to the beloved dead, teenage girls’ blogs and bestsellers such as Fifty Shades of Grey are discussed in particular detail. This book addresses current...

Teaching and Learning Mathematics Together

Teaching and Learning Mathematics Together

Autor: James Pietsch

Número de Páginas: 201

Teachers of secondary mathematics are constantly being presented with new ideas about the teaching of mathematics in schools, ideas which often seem a long way from the reality of most mathematics classrooms. How can teachers bring these ideas into traditional classrooms where students are not necessarily that interested in mathematics--where students (and perhaps also teachers) are focused primarily on preparing for future assessment tasks? Teaching and Learning Mathematics together provides classroom teachers and trainee teachers with an introduction to the thinking behind some of these ideas. Drawing on the latest research in mathematics education and theories of learning and the experiences of teachers working in schools, James Pietsch puts forward a model for classroom activity based on collaboration rather than demonstration and practice. The model is put into practice and assessed drawing on the perspectives of teachers and students and comparisons between the collaborative classrooms and traditional classrooms. Teaching and Learning Mathematics together offers teachers an example of what reform principles might look like in practice--and what the benefits of such...
