In the 1930s, he published several science fiction stories and serials in Amazing and Astounding Stories (the first issue of Astounding included his story "Tanks"). Leinster's first science fiction story, " The Runaway Skyscraper", appeared in the Februissue of Argosy, and was reprinted in the June 1926 issue of Hugo Gernsback's first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories. When the pulp magazines began to diversify into particular genres in the 1920s, Leinster followed suit, selling jungle stories to Danger Trails, westerns to West and Cowboy Stories, detective stories to Black Mask and Mystery Stories, horror stories to Weird Tales, and even romance stories to Love Story Magazine under the pen name Louisa Carter Lee. He continued to appear regularly in Argosy into the 1950s. ![]() During and after World War I, he began appearing in pulp magazines like Argosy, Snappy Stories, and Breezy Stories.

While some thought the dense style was an echo of Flaubert’s psychological mastery, others argued that the text lacked life or what D. The story was regarded as an extension of Mann’s earlier work about the life and struggle of artists. Others condemned Mann’s ending for treating homosexuality as in itself wrong and associating it with the disease of cholera. Some condemned the homosexual theme of the story but saw the ending as a moral judgment against the main character. Immediate critical reception of the story centered on its sexual themes and dense, meticulously crafted prose. It was the most popular writing of Mann’s early career and 18,000 copies were printed by the year’s end. Death in Venice was first published in German as Der Tod in Venedig in the October and November 1912 issues of a literary magazine called Rundschau and in book form the following year. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Set in 1863, in the wake of Abraham Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation, the true story begins with a series of drone tracking shots that make their way through the wooded swamp, stretching over a cotton plantation whereby enslaved African Americans, who appear placed in by garish VFX, toil in the soil. "Emancipation" is a hollow piece of genre filmmaking that rarely answers, "Why this story and why now?" ![]() Unfortunately, in wearing these many hats, "Emancipation" becomes an exhaustive, vicious, and stylistically overcooked recounting of a man whose very visage led the abolitionist charge. Who is Peter? A symbol, a resilient rebel, a family man, an action star this side of Rambo wandering the swamp and fighting with slave catchers and alligators? Fuqua believes Peter is all of the above. The character of Peter and the propulsive mood of Fuqua's film have more in common with " The Legend of Nigger Charley" than " 12 Years a Slave." It's not altogether clear, however, that Fuqua's choices are all that intentional to believe he purposely wants this sort of uncomfortable genre-bending. If that tension between disparate styles and unlikely tones was intended, one might say that "Emancipation" is a keen attempt to recapture the subversive slave narratives in Blaxploitation. Instead, it sustains itself in the tension of biography and thriller, brutality and heroism, prestige drama, and suspenseful action film. Granted, director Antoine Fuqua's "Emancipation" isn't wholly about enslavement. ![]() ![]() But, in his speech, Biden recognized Baker’s person while ignoring her anti-capitalist politics. In the 2016 Presidential election, Black voter turnout declined for the first time in twenty years, dropping from sixty-seven to sixty per cent. ![]() Biden’s reference to Baker did not surprise so much as it confirmed that Party leaders have a central fear about his candidacy: that Biden, like Hillary Clinton, fails to excite young Black voters in ways necessary to insure victory against Donald Trump. ![]() Joe Biden began his speech to accept the Democratic Party’s nomination with a quote from the civil-rights radical and Black revolutionary Ella Baker: “Give people light and they will find a way.” Though Baker may have been commenting on her particular approach to organizing, Biden used the line as an analogy for his campaign to replace Donald Trump. ![]() ![]() ![]() The chapter concludes by critically evaluating Agamben’s proposals to overcome this. The key point is that Agamben links sovereign violence to life by excluding the latter from the juridical order. From this, Agamben argues that this political division makes possible and so subtends the sovereign decision to exclude individuals from law by establishing a state of exception. The second part of the chapter ties this to Agamben’s discussion of civil war to argue that, contra Foucault, Agamben holds that the fundamental division marking Western politics is not a racial one, but one between oikos and polis, private and public. With this, Agamben continues the biopolitical line that sovereignty is orientated towards the regulation of life rather than the establishment of juridical order. It focuses on Homo Sacer and State of Exception to show that Agamben links sovereign violence to the establishment of a state of exception, wherein life is controlled through its exclusion from the juridical order. This chapter focuses on Giorgio Agamben’s work on biopolitical sovereignty. ![]() ![]() Edited by We Need Diverse Books co-founder Ellen Oh and Elsie Chapman, this anthology contains stories from sixteen Asian and South Asian authors, including New York Times bestsellers and award-winners. ![]() From fantasy to science fiction to contemporary, from romance to tales of revenge, these stories will beguile readers from start to finish.
