Act II, scene 3: Antigonus swears his loyalty to Leontes, in an attempt to save Leontes' young daughter's life. From a painting by John Opie commissioned by the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery for printing and display. The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare, originally published in the First Folio of 1. Although it was grouped among the comedies,[1] some modern editors have relabelled the play as one of Shakespeare's late romances. Some critics consider it to be one of Shakespeare's "problem plays", because the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending.[2]The play has been intermittently popular, revived in productions in various forms and adaptations by some of the leading theatre practitioners in Shakespearean performance history, beginning after a long interval with David Garrick in his adaptation Florizel and Perdita (first performed in 1. The Winter's Tale was revived again in the 1. In the second half of the 2. The Winter's Tale in its entirety, and drawn largely from the First Folio text, was often performed, with varying degrees of success. Characters[edit]Sicilia.

An ink drawing of Act II, Scene iii: Paulina imploring Leontes to have mercy on his daughter, Perdita. Illustration was designed for an edition of Lamb's Tales, copyrighted 1. Following a brief setup scene the play begins with the appearance of two childhood friends: Leontes, King of Sicilia, and Polixenes, the King of Bohemia. Polixenes is visiting the kingdom of Sicilia, and is enjoying catching up with his old friend. However, after nine months, Polixenes yearns to return to his own kingdom to tend to affairs and see his son. Leontes desperately attempts to get Polixenes to stay longer, but is unsuccessful. Leontes then decides to send his wife, Queen Hermione, to try to convince Polixenes. Hermione agrees and with three short speeches is successful. Leontes is puzzled as to how Hermione convinced Polixenes so easily, and Leontes suddenly goes insane and suspects that his pregnant wife has been having an affair with Polixenes and that the child is a bastard. Leontes orders Camillo, a Sicilian Lord, to poison Polixenes. Camillo instead warns Polixenes and they both flee to Bohemia. Furious at their escape, Leontes now publicly accuses his wife of infidelity, and declares that the child she is bearing must be illegitimate. He throws her in prison, over the protests of his nobles, and sends two of his lords, Cleomenes and Dion, to the Oracle at Delphos for what he is sure will be confirmation of his suspicions. Meanwhile, the queen gives birth to a girl, and her loyal friend Paulina takes the baby to the king, in the hopes that the sight of the child will soften his heart. He grows angrier, however, and orders Paulina's husband, Lord Antigonus, to take the child and abandon it in a desolate place. Cleomenes and Dion return from Delphos with word from the Oracle and find Hermione publicly and humiliatingly put on trial before the king. She asserts her innocence, and asks for the word of the Oracle to be read before the court. The Oracle states categorically that Hermione and Polixenes are innocent, Camillo an honest man, and that Leontes will have no heir until his lost daughter is found. Leontes shuns the news, refusing to believe it as the truth. As this news is revealed, word comes that Leontes' son, Mamillius, has died of a wasting sickness brought on by the accusations against his mother. Hermione, meanwhile, falls in a swoon, and is carried away by Paulina, who subsequently reports the queen's death to her heartbroken and repentant husband. Leontes vows to spend the rest of his days atoning for the loss of his son, his abandoned daughter, and his queen. Antigonus, meanwhile, abandons the baby on the coast of Bohemia, reporting that Hermione appeared to him in a dream and bade him name the girl Perdita. He leaves a fardel (a bundle) by the baby containing gold and other trinkets which suggest that the baby is of noble blood. A violent storm suddenly appears, wrecking the ship on which Antigonus arrived. He wishes to take pity on the child, but is chased away in one of Shakespeare's most famous stage directions: "Exit, pursued by a bear." (It is not known whether Shakespeare used a real bear from the London bear- pits, or an actor in bear costume.) Fortunately, Perdita is rescued by a shepherd and his son, also known as "Clown.". An engraving of Florizel and Perdita by Charles Robert Leslie."Time" enters and announces the passage of sixteen years. Camillo, now in the service of Polixenes, begs the Bohemian king to allow him to return to Sicilia. Polixenes refuses and reports to Camillo that his son, Prince Florizel, has fallen in love with a lowly shepherd girl: Perdita. He suggests to Camillo that, to take his mind off thoughts of home, they disguise themselves and attend the sheep- shearing feast where Florizel and Perdita will be betrothed. At the feast, hosted by the Old Shepherd who has prospered thanks to the gold in the fardel, the pedlar Autolycus picks the pocket of the Young Shepherd and, in various guises, entertains the guests with bawdy songs and the trinkets he sells. Disguised, Polixenes and Camillo watch as Florizel (under the guise of a shepherd named Doricles) and Perdita are betrothed. Then, tearing off the disguise, Polixenes angrily intervenes, threatening the Old Shepherd and Perdita with torture and death and ordering his son never to see the shepherd's daughter again. With the aid of Camillo, however, who longs to see his native land again, Florizel and Perdita take ship for Sicilia, using the clothes of Autolycus as a disguise. They are joined in their voyage by the Old Shepherd and his son who are directed there by Autolycus. In Sicilia, Leontes is still in mourning. Cleomenes and Dion plead with him to end his time of repentance because the kingdom needs an heir. Paulina, however, convinces the king to continue his penance until she alone finds him a wife. Florizel and Perdita arrive, and they are greeted effusively by Leontes. Florizel pretends to be on a diplomatic mission from his father, but his cover is blown when Polixenes and Camillo, too, arrive in Sicilia. The meeting and reconciliation of the kings and princes is reported by gentlemen of the Sicilian court: how the Old Shepherd raised Perdita, how Antigonus met his end, how Leontes was overjoyed at being reunited with his daughter, and how he begged Polixenes for forgiveness. The Old Shepherd and Young Shepherd, now made gentlemen by the kings, meet Autolycus, who asks them for their forgiveness for his roguery. Leontes, Polixenes, Camillo, Florizel and Perdita then go to Paulina's house in the country, where a statue of Hermione has been recently finished. The sight of his wife's form makes Leontes distraught, but then, to everyone's amazement, the statue shows signs of vitality; it is Hermione, restored to life. As the play ends, Perdita and Florizel are engaged, and the whole company celebrates the miracle. Despite this happy ending typical of Shakespeare's comedies and romances, the impression of the unjust death of young prince Mamillius lingers to the end, being an element of unredeemed tragedy, in addition to the years wasted in separation. Sources[edit]The main plot of The Winter's Tale is taken from Robert Greene's pastoralromance. Pandosto, published in 1. Shakespeare's changes to the plot are uncharacteristically slight, especially in light of the romance's undramatic nature, and Shakespeare's fidelity to it gives The Winter's Tale its most distinctive feature: the sixteen- year gap between the third and fourth acts. There are minor changes in names, places, and minor plot details, but the largest changes lie in the survival and reconciliation of Hermione and Leontes (Greene's Pandosto) at the end of the play. The character equivalent to Hermione in Pandosto dies after being accused of adultery, while Leontes' equivalent looks back upon his deeds (including an incestuous fondness for his daughter) and slays himself. The survival of Hermione, while presumably intended to create the last scene's coup de théâtre involving the statue, creates a distinctive thematic divergence from Pandosto. Greene follows the usual ethos of Hellenistic romance, in which the return of a lost prince or princess restores order and provides a sense of humour and closure that evokes Providence's control. Shakespeare, by contrast, sets in the foreground the restoration of the older, indeed aged, generation, in the reunion of Leontes and Hermione. Leontes not only lives, but seems to insist on the happy ending of the play. It has been suggested that the use of a pastoral romance from the 1. I'm sorry what? Welcome to the cinematic kaleidoscope that is the world of Marvels Doctor Strange. A world of sanctums and sorcerers that protect the Earth from other dimensional beings and powers, or something like that. Doctor Stephen Strange is world- renowned neurosurgeon who, in a rather contrived manner, loses the use of his skilled hands in a car accident (how did he survive that crash??!!). He doesn't lose a leg or suffer brain damage or whatever, oh no, he just fucks up his hands. Anyway Strange is unable to fix his hands through traditional methods, so eventually he goes off to Nepal in search of a mysterious place called Kamar- Taj. There he discovers the Ancient One who starts Strange off on his quest to learn the secret powers of sorcery. The challenge? Strange, the Ancient One and fellow sorcerer Mordo must stop another rogue sorcerer called Kaecilius. What is Kaecilius's goal? Dormammu from the dark dimension in order to gain eternal life. At the same time Dormammu wants the Earth dimension for himself. Much like his comicbook counterpart, Strange is an arrogant asshole in this movie. The man clearly has skills but he thinks he's God- like, he treats people like garbage, he ignores advice, he's reckless and lacks tact. So it is in fact very hard to like our main protagonist because he's such a blowhard. Strange is also very very rich due to his profession which makes it hard to relate to Strange (much like Stark), his arrogance only makes matters worse. The sequence where he chooses a watch from a draw of rotating highly expensive looking timepieces, then leaves his highly expensive city pad in his highly expensive Lamborghini, is this really any different from reality for Cumberbatch? Just another day for a Hollywood movie star.
The fact that Strange is an asshole doesn't really go away either. He continues his snarky comments (along with lame pop culture gags) for much of the run time which only left a bad taste in my mouth truth be told. Yes I know this is the character and it would be wrong to change it, but it just felt shitty to me, I just didn't like the guy. The other fact that Cumberbatch was cast made it worse for me, did he do a good job in the role? I guess, nothing special, I wasn't blown away lets just say that. I had reservations when he was cast and I still don't really agree with it, personally I would have gone with Ewan Mc. Gregor after Joaquin Phoenix turned it down. I don't think Cumberbatch looks the part, he's too skinny, his hair is wrong and his face has the wrong structure, he isn't good or suave looking enough. Was it too hard to get his famous white hair streaks right? So lets look at the Ancient One played by Tilda Swinton, was this good casting? Again I'm somewhat split on this, should they have race swapped the character? No I think they should have gone by the source material, so no gender swap either. It would have upset China you say, tough! Search for screenings and book tickets for Doctor Strange. See the release date and trailer. The Official Showtimes Destination brought to you by Marvel Studios #. "Doctor Strange" follows the story of neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a horrific car accident, discovers the hidden world of magic and alternate. · Doctor Strange movie reviews & Metacritic score: After a tragic car accident, talented neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). Stand by your work, show a little backbone. As for Swinton I really didn't see anything uniquely special in her performance, in fact I think it was weak, anyone could have taken the role and done a better job. Mordo, again, why the race swap? People complained about the Ancient One yet didn't mention this? Equality? hypocrisy? You moan about one, you moan about the other, or don't moan. Doctor Strange TrailerAnyway both looked completely out of place in this movie, especially in the Nepal locations. The white bald Ancient One looked like an extra from 'The Matrix'. Mads Mikkelsen as Kaecilius? So yeah overall I wasn't wowed by any casting in this movie, very bland, usual box ticked diversity, generally all very safe and boring. So did the movie offer anything that differs from what we have seen before in the Marvel cinematic universe? Well yes, of course it did, this movie is based on the magical side of the Marvel comicbook universe. You want lots of mind- bending visuals that cast doubt on what your actually looking at? Say no more, its all here. I mentioned at the start the word kaleidoscope, well that's pretty much the key word here, its literally the word of the day, the word of the movie because there is no other way in describing what you see. There are numerous sequences of astral planes, other dimensions, mirror dimensions and reality being twisted and contorted. Of course its all CGI but its bursting with colour, shapes and dream- like imagery that certainly keeps you engaged.. The broken/shattered/cracked- esque glass visual effect for the mirror dimension was particularly impressive, very striking, very imaginative. On the other hand we of course have lots of kung fu and hocus pocus nonsense. The hocus pocus nonsense is obviously to be expected and it generally looks pretty good. I did like all the colourful magical shields. They all look like colour coded HUD's from a jet fighter (or inside Tony Stark's Iron Man helmet) that are projected around a persons limbs. The obligatory martial arts jiggery- pokery I felt was. Its like you can't have a comicbook flick (or any flick) without needless martial arts. When Strange takes on his astral form in the astral plane, yep you guessed it, he ends up getting involved in an astral plane martial arts fight (with Scott Adkins). In general I liked the fighting because it involved lots of magical trickery but they still can't get away from martial bloody arts, so tiresome. I find myself in the middle ground with this Marvel entry, in limbo if you will. Whilst I did enjoy the effects to a degree, I found myself straining to look at some of it, or it just seemed to go a bit too far with the bizarre, although the colour palette was nice. What we see of the dark dimension was nicely done, it kinda looked like what you might see under a microscope, but in vivid colours. The magic and sorcery was definitely intriguing and I found myself wanting to see more ancient mystical things instead of the more present day set events. A period set Doctor Strange flick could be pretty sweet methinks. Period though, not alien fantasy because period would offer some grounded limitations. But it says a lot when one of the best parts of the movie involved a simple cloak, the cloak of levitation. I really wanted to see more of that and its backstory. On the flip side I found the characters weak and casting all wrong, not even Strange himself was overly engaging (Tony Stark with magic). The appearance of Dormammu in the finale was also a big let down as yet again we get a big purple- ish looking face.. CGI wasn't much either. The main issue I have with all these movies now is they don't really feel like stand alone movies. They merely feel like filler movies, padding, basically set- ups for another even bigger movie that usually involves a team up or an entire cinematic universe. The stories don't really have any meaning or risk involved, they feel minor and throwaway because at the end of the day all they're doing is setting up something else. The real killer is then when you get the next bigger movie, that too is just another set- up for something else, and on we go. The plot for 'Doctor Strange' was mediocre, it barely did the job. I was relatively engaged merely down to the fact that we were seeing something a bit new in sorcery, but beyond that it was bland business as usual. So overall I would give this a pass in the same vein as 'Ant- Man', but the initial intrigue is now gone, any sequels (for me) will just feel meh (although a period setting could be cool).

T. C. Boyle: Hart auf Hart (Rezension)Jeder Mensch, so steht es seit 1. Unabhängigkeitserklärung, hat das unveräußerliche Recht, seinen eigenen Weg zum Glück zu verfolgen. Nichts und niemand kann also einen souveränen Bürger des Land of the Free davon abhalten, seinen Individualismus auszuleben, schon gleich nicht eine Obrigkeit. Was für Blüten dieses Credo treiben kann, führt T. C. Boyles neuer Roman in gewohnt bissiger Zuspitzung vor Augen. Die US- Realität kann freilich locker mithalten, wie wir immer wieder staunend aus den Medien erfahren.)Drei Exemplare abgründiger Besessenheit von einem verabsolutierten Freiheitsideal entwickelt der Autor in dreizehn brillant erzählten Kapiteln, großes Lesekino immer ganz nah dran am dramatischen Geschehen. Drei einsame Figuren – Vater, Sohn und dessen Freundin – verrennen sich ungebremst in ihre egozentrisch- individualistische Weltanschauung, bis alle Sicherungen durchbrennen und sie zu Gewalt greifen, um sich gegen die (vermeintlichen oder echten) Feinde ihrer Selbstbestimmung zur Wehr zu setzen. Dass sie dabei aberwitzigen Verschwörungstheorien aufsitzen und Manien ausleben (Xenophobie, Waffenfanatismus), ahnen sie natürlich nicht einmal, zumal Alkohol und andere Drogen ihr Bewusstsein vernebeln. Sten Stensen, pensionierter Direktor der Fort Bragg Highschool, lebt komfortabel, angesehen und einflussreich im kalifornischen Mendocino. Seine Stunde schlägt während einer Kreuzfahrt mit Gattin Carolee. Ein spontan gebuchter Ausflug von Puerto Limón in Costa Ricas Urwald verläuft von Anfang an ganz anders als versprochen. Ein »missmutiger Finsterling« von Fahrer steuert seinen klapprigen Ex- Schulbus in atemberaubendem Tempo über unpassierbare Straßen voller schlammiger Schlaglöcher, ohne sich um die Bedürfnisse seiner ältlichen Gäste zu scheren. Durchgeschüttelt, halb verdurstet und total verschwitzt erreicht man endlich das zivilisationsferne Ziel, wo freie Affen, Agutis, Faultiere, womöglich Jaguar und Ozelot darauf warten, fotografiert und gefilmt zu werden. Das echte »Abenteuer«, der »Ausbruch aus der Routine« stellt sich noch am Parkplatz ein. Drei junge Männer, »Ticos mit kahlgeschorenen Schädeln«, entsteigen einem verbeulten gelben Chevy und fordern, mit Pistole und Messer fuchtelnd, ganz einfach »Todo!« von den Gästen. Das abgekartete Spiel zwischen Busfahrer und den Urwaldbewohnern lässt den Senioren keine andere Wahl, als alle Besitztümer abzuliefern. Auch Sten hat wohl keine Wahl, wenn er jetzt ausrastet: Im Inneren des hochdekorierten Vietnam- Veterans zündet ein Automatismus (»Einmal Marine, immer Marine.«), er nimmt den Jungen mit der Pistole in den Würgegriff und drückt »jenseits jeder Vernunft« zu, bis das Zappeln für immer aufhört. Was blüht Sten jetzt? Inhaftierung, Mordanklage, Prozess, mildernde Umstände wegen Notwehr? Nichts davon. Die Polizisten verhören ihn, bitten ihn, mutmaßliche Mittäter zu identifizieren, lassen Bemerkungen fallen wie »ein Krimineller .. Hart Auf Hart KommenVerlust für die Welt .. Gefallen getan« und entlassen Sten auf das Schiff. Zu Hause in den Staaten wird er in allen Medien als Held bewundert und gefeiert, während sein Tun ihm selbst immer befremdlicher erscheint, je mehr Abstand er dazu gewinnt. Bei der Gegenüberstellung war er sich sicher gewesen, den Jugendlichen »noch nie zuvor gesehen« zu haben, und hatte doch »Ja, das ist er« gesagt, »ausschließlich aus Wut«. Dieses Eingangskapitel setzt den Grundton des Romans; die nachfolgenden setzen noch ein paar wesentlich kräftigere Akkorde drauf. Die Protagonistenrolle übernimmt jetzt Sara Hovarty Jennings, 4. Aushilfslehrerin an Stens Schule, jetzt Hufschmiedin. Sie ist verbohrt in ihre Unabhängigkeit und verbittert gegen alles, was sie einschränken könnte, wie etwa die Gesetze der »Illegitimen Regierung des Amerikas der Konzerne«. Anschnallpflicht, Nummernschilder, Steuern – alles reine »Schikane«, der sie sich niemals ergeben wird. · Eine Frau und ein Mann gegen alle: In seinem neuen Roman „Hart auf hart“ zeigt T.C. Boyle die durchgedrehte Seite des amerikanischen Traums. Englisch-Deutsch-Übersetzung für wenn es hart auf hart kommt im Online-Wörterbuch dict.cc (Deutschwörterbuch). Bei Amazon.de erhältlich: Hart auf hart: Roman, T.C. Boyle, Dirk van Gunsteren: Schnelle und versandkostenfreie Lieferung. Nach vermeintlich gut amerikanischen Prinzipien und Traditionen biegt sie sich stur ihre Lebensweise zurecht, auch wenn sie sich dadurch ständig Ärger einheimst. Jetzt fährt sie mit Hund Kutya auf der Rücksitzbank zu einem Tierschutzreservat, um dort afrikanische Huftiere zu pediküren. Ein freier Bürger in seinem »Privateigentum« unterwegs auf »öffentlichen Straßen« – warum und wohin, das war »ihre Sache und ging niemanden etwas an«. Schon gleich nicht die cops, die ihr heimtückisch am Straßenrand auflauern und Papiere sehen wollen. Sie denkt nicht daran, den Bullen in »Halloweenverkleidung« zu Diensten zu sein (»Ich habe keinen Vertrag mit Ihnen.«). Der Konflikt zwischen »Unterdrücker« und »Unterdrückter« eskaliert, Kutya beißt zu, Sara endet im Gefängnis, der Hund im Tierheim. Gegen Kaution kommt Sara frei. Auch ihr Auto kann sie bei einem »Handlanger und Lakai des Konzernstaates« in der Zulassungsstelle auslösen. Kutya aber soll wegen seiner Beißwut und fehlendem Tollwutimpfnachweis dreißig Tage in Quarantäne bleiben. Das wird Sara niemals hinnehmen ..

Der Typ mit kahlgeschorenem Schädel, »Kampf- oder Tarnanzug« und Rucksack scheint bekifft. Stocksteif schweigt er mit stierem Blick neben ihr, bis ihn ein entgegenkommender »Bullenwagen« aus der Lethargie reißt. Wichser!«, schreit er und wirft sich mit seinem Oberkörper über Sara zum geöffneten Fahrerfenster hin, um den cops beide Stinkefinger entgegenzurecken. Sara kennt ihn: »Der Sohn von Sten Stensen, stimmt's? Adam.« Aber mehr als »Ich heiße Colter« sagt er nicht. Sara liebt Adam auf den ersten Blick, ungeachtet der fünfzehn Jahre Altersunterschied. Er wird ihren weichen Körper, ihre Kochkünste und ihr kuscheliges Heim zu schätzen lernen.) Noch ist es zu früh, mit ihm den schrecklichen Zustand der Gesellschaft zu erörtern, aber bei einer Befreiungsaktion (Free Kutya!) könnte er sich nützlich machen. Lebt Sara schon in einer Parallelwelt, so hat sich Adam auf einen anderen Stern katapultiert. Das spätgeborene Wunschkind der Stensens fällt schon früh auf, wird therapiert und muss Medikamente nehmen. Als er in der Highschool einen Jungen zusammenschlägt, weil der »ein Alien« sei, gibt Sten ihn innerlich auf. Um sich endgültig von seinen Eltern und deren Erziehungsversuchen zu befreien, zieht Adam zur Großmutter in den Wald. Sie fragt nicht viel, nimmt ihn, wie er ist, umsorgt ihn liebevoll. Der abgelegene Forst am Noyo River, wo ihr Haus steht, erlaubt es ihm, seinem Vorbild nachzueifern, der Trapperlegende John Colter, über dessen abenteuerliches Frontier- Leben er mit Begeisterung ganze Bücher gelesen hatte. Je weniger Adam mit seinem realen Hier und Jetzt klar kommt und glaubt, dass »alles in seinem Leben Scheiße und nichts als Scheiße war«, desto weiter zieht er sich als »moderner Waldläufer« in seine eigene Welt zurück, wo er sich frei und ungestört allen überlegen wähnen kann. Den Faible für die mythisch verklärte Wildnis des Westens teilt auch Sten. Er engagiert sich in Mendocino bei der Bürgerinitiative »Unser Wald gehört uns«. Das ist »keine Bürgerwehr«, und Sten ist »kein Rassist«. Aber gegen die »Hispanos«, die als Wanderarbeiter das Land überschwemmen, Wald und Flüsse verseuchen, gefolgt von Drogenkartellen, die auf harmlose Angler, Jäger und Touristen schießen, gegen die muss man sich wehren. Grausame Ironie: Eines Tages wird Sten den Wald vor seinem Amok laufenden Sohn schützen müssen .. Nach dem Tod der Großmutter hat Adam freie Hand in ihrem Haus. Getrieben von Wahnvorstellungen durchstreift er den Wald, pflanzt Mohn an, baut einen Bunker und eine zweieinhalb Meter hohe, türlose Ringmauer ums Haus. Denn er muss vorbereitet sein, wenn »die Feinde« kommen – der Vater, »die Bullen« und andere Handlanger des Staates, »die Chinesen«, die Aliens. Als Sten ein Loch in die Steinwand bricht (das Haus soll verkauft werden, Adam wieder zu den Eltern ziehen), klinkt Adam aus. Er wird zu einem waidwunden, unberechenbaren Tier, zu einer mörderischen Zeitbombe. Die Jagd auf ihn ist eröffnet. Sprachlich und strukturell perfekt gestaltet, intensiv und bildstark erzählt, ist »The Harder They Come« (übersetzt von Dirk van Gunsteren) ein absolut lesenswertes Psychogramm dreier Außenseiterfiguren. Was der Roman wider Erwarten nicht ist: eine Gesellschaftskritik. Zwar lassen die Protagonisten ihrer Wut auf Staatsorgane, wirtschaftshörige Regierung und allmächtige Konzerne freien Lauf, aber ihr Furor ist nicht politisch, sondern privat motiviert. Sie sind keine Analysten und Aktivisten, sondern staatsverdrossene Spinner und Phrasendrescher voller schwammig- pauschaler Vorurteile – und obendrein inkonsequente Opportunisten. Sara zum Beispiel hegt einerseits ein gewisses Verständnis für den Bombenattentäter Timothy Mc. Veigh und den Mordschützen Jerry Kane und verweigert dem System ihre Steuergroschen, geht aber andererseits arbeiten, konsumiert brav und nutzt selbstverständlich die kommode staatliche Infrastruktur. Sten ist ein angesehener, wohlhabender Bürger seiner Stadt, aber durch seine Kriegserfahrungen verformt. Und sein Sohn Adam ist dank der verkorksten Sozialisation und des Drogenkonsums derart durchgeknallt, dass er wohl mit keinem System in Einklang leben könnte. Als Beitrag zum uramerikanischen Konflikt des Individuums um die Grenzen seines Freiheitsanspruchs bleibt »Hart auf hart« also unscharf – ausgezeichnete Unterhaltung ist auch T. C. Boyles neuester Roman aber in jedem Fall. Dieses Buch habe ich in die Liste meiner 2. Lieblingsbücher im Frühjahr 2.

Why is there pressure on women to improve our appearance? Body Image. For many women, the main reason to 'improve' our appearance is to attract and win the approval of men. We have been conditioned to think we must compete with each other for male attention—and to get attention and provoke envy in other women. Apparence Feminine EnergyMany feminists believe this is a consequence of living in a patriarchal society. Women are judged intensely on our looks because men have a disproportionate amount of power and control; in patriarchal societies, women gain status through relationships with men, and appearance serves as a measure of our desirability as sexual partners. All of us must contend with the constant onslaught of media and cultural messages telling us that we need to improve our appearance. Researchers have found that the more we identify with what are considered negative 'feminine' traits, like passivity, dependence, and unassertiveness, the more likely we are to suffer from body image problems and disordered eating, regardless of our sexual orientation or gender identity. Effeminacy - Wikipedia. Effeminacy is the manifestation of traits in a boy or man that are more often associated with feminine nature, behavior, mannerism, style, or gender roles rather than with masculine nature, behavior, mannerisms, style or roles. It is a term frequently applied to womanly behavior, demeanor, style, clothing and appearance displayed by a boy or man, typically used implying criticism or ridicule of this behavior (as opposed to, for example, merely describing a man as feminine, which can be non- judgmental). The term effeminate is most often used by people who subscribe to the widespread view that males should display masculine traits and behaviors. · How to Dress up Like a Girl.

[apparence, manières, personne] feminine ⇒ Elle est très féminine. She's very feminine. masculine noun (linguistics) feminine. au féminin in the feminine. Generally, the description is applied to individuals,[according to whom?] but may be used to describe entire societies as an inflammatory allegation. Until the modern period,[according to whom?] "effeminacy" in the Western tradition referred to a complicated intersection of both social (or civic) and sexual identities typically associated with women. The ancient Greeks, for example, described whole societies as effeminate (malakia) if they were characterized by a slavish, deferential, or autocratic political culture. Here, it was the form of sexual relationships, but not the fact of homosexual relations (which were not uncommon among Greek citizens who were men[citation needed]) that was critical to the sexual dimension of the term. And among early modern partisans of the republican tradition, the term might be applied to those who were preoccupied with "womanly" concerns, such as the accoutrements of appearance, which were often associated with trappings of nobility or aristocratic aspirations, such as ostentatious dress, decadence in consumption habits, and rigid adherence to the proprieties or manners of social hierarchy.

The reach of this "civic" understanding may be best illustrated in the work of early feminist and republican thinkers such as Mary Wollstonecraft, who described as "effeminate" the behavior of women who refused to embrace a more active presence in public life. Since the 1. 8th century, the civic dimension of gender identity has been eclipsed by the sexual dimension of gender identity, and, today, effeminacy has often been considered a vice, indicative of other negative character traits and often involving a pejorative insinuation of homosexual tendencies in boys or men. In other societies, by contrast, effeminate boys or men may be considered a distinct human gender (third gender), and may have a special social function, as is the case of Two- Spirits in some Native American groups. Furthermore, some see effeminacy to be a characteristic or trait, part of a particular person's gender role and in this sense would not be considered a vice or indicative of any other characteristics. An effeminate boy or man is similar to a fop or a dandy, though these tend to be archaic identities that are taken on by the individual rather than insulting labels. History[edit]Etymology[edit]Effeminate comes from the Latineffeminātus, from ex which is "out," and femina which means woman; it means "to be like a woman." Another Latin term is mollities, meaning "softness."In ancient Koine Greek, the word for effeminate is κίναιδος kinaidos (cinaedus in its Latinized form), or μαλακοί malakoi: a man "whose most salient feature was a supposedly "feminine" love of being sexually penetrated by other men."[1] κίναιδος = κινώ + αιδώς (κινώ means move & αιδώς means shame), so in the end κίναιδος is someone who makes other people feel ashamed because of his actions, mostly for sexual preferences."A cinaedus is a man who cross- dresses or flirts like a girl. Indeed, the word's etymology suggests an indirect sexual act emanating a promiscuous woman. This term has been borrowed from the Greek kinaidos (which may itself have come from a language of Ionian Greecs of Asia Minor, primarily signifying a purely effeminate dancer who entertained his audiences with a tympanum or tambourine in his hand, and adopted a lascivious style, often suggestively wiggling his buttocks in such a way as to suggest anal intercourse.. The primary meaning of cinaedus never died out; the term never became a dead metaphor."[2]Other vernacular words for effeminacy include: "pansy", "nelly", "pretty boy", "nancy boy", "molly", "sissy", "pussy", and "girl" (when applied to a boy or, especially, adult man). Contrastingly, a masculine girl would be called a "tomboy", "butch", or "dyke". The word effete similarly means effeminacy or over- refinement, but comes from the Latin effetus, from ex- and fetus "fruitful".

Ancient Greece and Rome[edit]Greek historian Plutarch recounts that Periander, the tyrant of Ambracia, asked his "boy", "Aren't you pregnant yet?" in the presence of other people, causing the boy to kill him in revenge for being treated as if effeminate or a woman (Amatorius 7. F). As part of Greek politician's (Aeschines') proof that a member of the prosecution against him, Timarchus, had prostituted himself to (or been "kept" by) another man while young, he attributed fellow prosecutor Demosthenes' nickname Batalos ("arse") to his "unmanliness and kinaidiā" and frequently commented on his "unmanly and womanish temper", even criticising his clothing: "If anyone took those dainty little coats and soft shirts off you.. I think they'd be quite unable to say, if they hadn't been told in advance, whether they had hold of a man's clothing or a woman's."[3]Demosthenes is also implicated in passive homosexuality and the prostitution of youth: [4] "There is a certain Aristion, a Plataean.., who as a youth was outstandingly good- looking and lived for a long time in Demosthenes' house. Allegations about the part he was playing [lit., 'undergoing or doing what'] there vary, and it would be most unseemly for me to talk about it."[5]The late Greek[a]Erôtes ("Loves", "Forms of Desire", "Affairs of the Heart"), preserved with manuscripts by Lucian, contains a debate "between two men, Charicles and Callicratidas, over the relative merits of women and boys as vehicles of male sexual pleasure." Callicratidas, "far from being effeminised by his sexual predilection for boys.. Callicratidas's inclination renders him hypervirile.. Callicratidas's sexual desire for boys, then, makes him more of a man; it does not weaken or subvert his male gender identity but rather consolidates it." In contrast, "Charicles' erotic preference for women seems to have had the corresponding effect of effeminising him: when the reader first encounters him, for example, Charicles is described as exhibiting 'a skillful use of cosmetics, so as to be attractive to women.'"Over- refinement, fine clothes and other possessions, the company of women, certain trades, and too much fondness with women were all deemed effeminate traits in Roman society. Taking an inappropriate sexual position, passive or "bottom", in same- gender sex was considered effeminate and unnatural. Apparence Feminine ProductsTouching the head with a finger and wearing a goatee were also considered effeminate.[6]Roman consul Scipio Aemilianus questioned one of his opponents, P. Sulpicius Galus: "For the kind of man who adorns himself daily in front of a mirror, wearing perfume; whose eyebrows are shaved off; who walks around with plucked beard and thighs; who when he was a young man reclined at banquets next to his lover, wearing a long- sleeved tunic; who is fond of men as he is of wine: can anyone doubt that he has done what cinaedi are in the habit of doing?"[7]Roman orator Quintilian described, "The plucked body, the broken walk, the female attire," as "signs of one who is soft [mollis] and not a real man."[8]For Roman men masculinity also meant self- control, even in the face of painful emotions, illnesses, or death. Cicero says, "There exist certain precepts, even laws, that prohibit a man from being effeminate in pain,"[9] and Seneca adds, "If I must suffer illness, it will be my wish to do nothing out of control, nothing effeminately."[1. Emperor/philosopher Julian the Apostate, in his Against the Galileans, wrote: ''Why the Egyptians are more intelligent and more given to crafts, and the Syrians unwarlike and effeminate, but at the same time intelligent, hot- tempered, vain and quick to learn?''In his Commentaries on the Gallic Wars, Julius Caesar wrote that the Belgians were the bravest of all Gauls because "merchants least frequently resort to them, and import those things which tend to effeminate the mind".[1. Emperor Marcus Aurelius evidently considered effeminacy an undesirable trait, but it is unclear as to what or who was being referred.[1. The Bible[edit]Malakos is listed among other vices in the New Testament book of I Corinthians 6: 9. Translations use different terms to express this.[b] The online Greek Interlinear Bible uses Strongs concordance (last corrected in 2. Malakoi as "Catamites", and Arsenokoitia as "sodomites".[1. The word malakos, #3. Greek Dictionary of The New Testament of James Strong's Exhaustive Concordance to The Bible translates: "of uncertain affinity". Social acceptance[edit]In most cultures, effeminacy is traditionally considered a vice or a weakness indicative of other negative character traits and often involving a negative insinuation of homosexual tendencies. The definition of what constitutes effeminate behavior varies greatly depending on the social and cultural context, as well as on the time period. While some effeminate behavior evokes stereotypical impressions of homosexuality in some people, others may simply view the behavior as unmanly without questioning the sexual orientation of the person in question. Examples of behavior noncompliant with conventional masculinity have included: Interest in women's fashion. Effusive emotional expressions. Cross- dressing or use of makeup outside of working in the performing arts, such as acting, singing, and dancing. Exhibition of feminine mannerisms. |
