Rethinking the Erotic: Eroticism in Literature, Film, Art and Society
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014. The erotic is a complex and highly problematic phenomenon that scholars have agonised over for centuries. Generally speaking, the erotic refers to sex and sexuality. However, it is a multifaceted term that holds multiple, meanings for different people. The erotic, on the one hand, is personal – a collection of thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and sensations shared with one’s self or other people. On the other hand, it is explicitly public – subject to censorship, scientific study, penalisation, political debate, and reproduction in art. It is also the basis of this volume, which includes chapters from 14 different authors who presented their ideas on eroticism at the 7th Global Conference: The Erotic (Exploring Critical Issues) at Mansfield College, Oxford in September 2012. This volume offers a broad perspective on issues of the erotic with the authors representing not only a wide variety of academic and non-academic disciplines but also a range of countries from across the globe.
William Blake’s Divine Love
Despite the fact that William Blake summarises the plot of Visions of the Daughters of Albion (1793) in just eight lines in the prefatory ‘Argument,’ there are several contentious moments in the poem which continue to cause debate. Critics read Oothoon’s call to Theotormon’s eagles and her offer to catch girls of silver and gold as either evidence of her rape-damaged psyche or confirmation of her selfless love which transcends her socio-sexual state. How do we reconcile the attack of Theotormon’s eagles and the wanton play of the girls with Oothoon’s articulate and highly sophisticated expressions of spiritual truth and free love? In William Blake’s Divine Love: Visions of Ooth...

Watercolours
A many-layered work of historical reportage, Watercolours draws on the real life story of Dina Gottliebova-Babbitt (1923-2009), a Czech-American artist of Jewish ancestry, who was a prisoner at Auschwitz, and whose story came to light in the late 1990s. It was at this time that Gottliebova attempted once more to recover the art she had created in the concentration camp, and which had become the property of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. The dispute escalated into an international scandal, with the American Department of State and the Polish government becoming involved. Here, journalist Lidia Ostalowska reconstructs Gottliebova's time in the camp, while looking also at broader issues o...
