This created a stark dichotomy between the wealthy and poor classes in Egyptian society. As the urban population rapidly expanded, particularly among the working class, the cities were forced to grow vertically, forcing the poor to live on the tops of wealthy apartment complexes. However, the poor rent out living spaces on top of the apartments, creating “shantytowns in the sky” (NPR). The inside of the building is beautiful and ornate, inhabited by the wealthy residents. In the film, poverty is represented by the rooftop community. In fact, the film is so closely representative of Egyptian society that “112 members of Egyptian parliament demanded that several sex scenes be cut because the scenes may ‘damage Egypt’s image’” (Stehlik). These issues are prevalent among the various residents of the Yacoubian Building and are prevalent in Egyptian society at large. ![]() The film reveals the issues of homosexuality, religious extremism, political corruption, economic inequalities, and sexism. ![]() ![]() Based on a novel in 2002, the film reflects author Alaa Al Aswany’s perception of Egypt in the 1990s.

I’d have gone all-in from the start, but hey, when a gorgeous, brilliant woman invites you into her bed, and only her bed…well, I said yes.īut then, one hysterical phone call from my brother later, begging me to find myself a wife so grandfather’s business stays in the family, and I need a promotion with Elise.

It's deliciously fun and I gobbled up every fabulous moment of it. This newest story from the incomparable Lauren Blakely starts with one of my most favorite meet-cutes ever. Our arrangement worked well enough until the day I needed a lot more from him… Part-Time Lover was truly a full-time joy to read. But given the way my heart had been trampled, I wanted only a simple deal - No strings. Little did I know I’d meet him again, a year later, at a secret garden bar in the heart of the city, where I’d learn that his mind and his mouth were even more captivating.

A sinfully sexy new standalone romance from #1 New York Times Bestseller Lauren Blakely ![]() ![]() ![]() She inspired and presumably was one of the Guerrilla Girls, anonymous female artists who became the conscience of the art world in 1985. In 1988 she said: ‘feminist art history is there to make trouble, to call into question, to ruffle feathers in the patriarchal dovecotes’. Nochlin was not just radical in her scholarship but also in her politics. As Nochlin wrote: ‘… the question of women’s equality - in art as in any other realm - devolves not upon the relative benevolence or ill-will of individual men, nor the self-confidence or abjectness of individual women, but rather on the very nature of our institutional structures themselves and the view of reality which they impose on the human beings who are part of them’. She analyzed social stereotypes and institutional obstacles that blocked women from receiving the education, mentorship, and patronage necessary to create important works of art. Instead of simply recuperating the long erased histories of Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, Artemisia Gentileschi, and Rosa Bonheur, Nochlin exposed the systemic and structural sexism of cultural gatekeepers, academies, and institutions. And it has resonated in disciplines and professions far beyond the arts and architecture. It helped to create entire fields like women’s and queer studies. Written amidst the Second Wave of feminism, it has had many afterlives in books, journals, conferences, and course syllabi. ![]() Published in 1971, Linda Nochlin’s essay was truly a clarion call. ![]() ![]() It explores trauma and healing, and offers you suspense and heartbreak along the way. Jane Anonymous is a gripping and deeply emotional story. Hi book nerds! Welcome to my stop in the Jane Anonymous Blog Tour hosted by The Fantastic Flying Book Club!

Three months of being that girl who was kidnapped, the girl who was held by a “monster.” Three months of writing down everything she remembered from those seven months locked up in that stark white room. Now, it’s been three months since “Jane” escaped captivity and returned home. She never would’ve imagined that in her town where nothing ever happens, a series of small coincidences would lead to a devastating turn of events that would forever change her life. She had a part-time job she enjoyed, an awesome best friend, overbearing but loving parents, and a crush on a boy who was taking her to see her favorite band. ![]() Then, “Jane” was just your typical 17-year-old in a typical New England suburb getting ready to start her senior year. Genre/s and tags:Young Adult, Contemporary, Crime/Thriller, Traumaīestselling author Laurie Faria Stolarz returns with Jane Anonymous, a gripping tale of a seventeen-year-old girl’s kidnapping and her struggle to fit back into her life after she escapes. ![]() ![]() The first desideratum for seeing objectively is the ‘letting be’ of God’s self-revelation. As Balthasar himself would write a few years later, only “such a stance can perceive the divine as such, without obscuring it beforehand by an instrumental relationship to the cosmos (which, imperfect, calls for divine completion) or to man (who, still more imperfect and lost in sin, requires a savior). ![]() At the core of this project is a re-thinking of God’s self-disclosure in light of the beautiful, a move that reverses the modern priority of the subject while retrieving subjectivity as reception of divine glory. Synthesizing dogmatics and fundamental theology, Balthasar shows how Christ himself is the form of revelation as well as its content. ![]() Seeing the Form (1961) is the opening volume of Hans Urs von Balthasar’s The Glory of the Lord: A Theological Aesthetics, the first part of his magnum opus, the Trilogy. ![]() ![]() ![]() The detail in my work helps to convince me, and I hope others as well, that such places might be real."Īs a student at the Boston Museum School, she spent hours in the Museum of Fine Arts. ![]() Now I try to recreate that feeling of believing that the imaginary place I'm drawing really exists.
