An Eager Child
Even her Mama asks, "Where does Ovidie get these ideas?" We can ask that, too, of this fine-spirited, industrious youngster growing up in an obscure mountain area of Norway in the late 1800s, on a centuries-old farm, with a seemingly unchanging centuries old lifestyle. For Ovidies hard-working parents, who have already raised three now-grown children, life is sufficient and good. So, whats there to change? They are untiring as they provide for the family in a faith-based, self-contained environment. Theirs is a caring home, a home where everyone has a role and a goal. Ovidie is the youngest, a strong-willed and thoroughly adored child; she has her role and fulfills it with diligence. And, yes, indeed, she has a goal, too, although its her secret. Delightful to read and highly illustrated, this storybook is written as Ovidie livedsimply but with purpose. Enjoy the stories of Ovidies growing up eager, and let messages from Ovidies journey of life-lessons learned on the farm emerge from between the lines for reflection. Ponder the wonder of how we are influenced by the lives and decisions of our forbearers.

French Queer Cinema
A full account of the formation and reception of contemporary queer film in France.
Fascination
May 1968. Paris is awash with violence and public unrest. In a small cinema, where a surreal film is showing, another riot is taking place. Here, the enraged audience smashes up the auditorium, tear out the seats, and chase the film’s director onto the street. This is the premiere of Jean Rollin’s feature debut, The Rape of the Vampire. An outsider of French cinema, Rollin’s films are unique and dreamlike. They offer tales of mystery and nostalgia, obsolescence and seductive female vampires with a thirst for blood and sex. It is a cinema at once strange, evocative and deeply personal. Funding his own projects, Rollin defiantly made the films he wanted to make and in so doing created a ...

Sex as Work
This book examines the ways that brothels are managed under decriminalisation in New Zealand. New Zealand decriminalised sex work in 2003 with the passage of the Prostitution Reform Act, making it the first country to do so. Decriminalisation situates brothels as ‘businesses like any other’ and creates a legislative platform for better working conditions for sex workers. Nevertheless, we have limited understanding of how brothels are managed in New Zealand. Drawing on interviews with brothel operators and sex workers, this book explores how the law is understood and implemented, how brothel operators position their businesses, and how they seek legitimacy in a historically stigmatised sector. It also examines the rules and norms by which operators manage their businesses and the possibilities for sex workers to consent to commercial sexual services in the context of neoliberal norms of work and of managers who expect them to be professionalised, responsibilised and productive.
Paris
Dalam riwayatnya yang panjang, Paris kerap ditandai sebagai penjara, surga, dan bahkan neraka; juga wanita cantik, penyihir, dan setan. Kota ini membangkitkan emosi yang kuat, dan menangkap imajinasi setiap orang: inilah kota yang jadi latar bagi banyak karya—fiksi, fotografi, musik, dan film—serta rumah bagi beragam puisi cinta dan romansa. Begitu dinamis, kota ini sarat dengan benturan identitas yang tampak di mana-mana. Dalam buku ini, Andrew Hussey melukiskan kehidupan kaum miskin kota dan para seniman yang meninggalkan jejak mereka di kota ini, mengisi ruang sejarah yang didominasi kaum bangsawan. Inilah catatan riwayat Paris dari sudut pengalaman warganya. Dari istana, bar dan kafe jalanan, rumah pelacuran, hingga sarang opium, buku ini mengungkap banyak cerita yang selama ini tersembunyi. Inilah cerita yang kaya, eksotis, dan terkadang seram dari kota paling bercahaya di dunia. Paris: Sejarah yang Tersembunyi bercerita melintasi banyak abad, gerakan sosial, serta keyakinan budaya dan politik. Membentang dua ribu tahun episode perjalanan Paris, buku ini memotret dengan gamblang wajah kota yang tak pernah berhenti memancarkan daya tarik.
