Paperback. Condition: New. Throughout centuries of European colonial domination, the bodies of Middle Eastern dancers, male and female, move sumptuously and seductively across the pages of Western travel journals, evoking desire and derision, admiration and disdain, allure and revulsion. This profound ambivalence forms the axis of an investigation into Middle Eastern dance - an investigation that extends to contemporary belly dance. Stavros Stavrou Karayanni, through historical investigation, theoretical analysis, and personal reflection, explores how Middle Eastern dance actively engages race, sex, and national identity. Close readings of colonial travel narratives, an examination of Oscar Wilde's Salome, and analyses of treatises about Greek dance, reveal the intricate ways in which this controversial dance has been shaped by Eurocentric models that define and control identity performance.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Billy Parker, nicknamed 'Billy the Fearful One,' is a timid boy living on the outskirts of Rosemoor Village. Paralyzed by even the slightest noise, he spends most of his time sheltered behind his curtains-until one day, he discovers that singing helps him cope with his fears. His gentle yet powerful voice eventually enchants the Prefect's daughter, who loses her appetite longing to meet the unseen singer. Invited to the Prefect's mansion, Billy soon faces two daunting challenges: capturing a notorious robber roaming the hills, and later protecting the village orchard from a pack of wolves.At first, Billy's transformation is as much luck as courage-an unexpected encounter with a charging wild boar convinces the robber that Billy is impossibly strong, causing the criminal to surrender without a fight. Through this 'accidental triumph,' Billy earns the stunned admiration of Rosemoor's citizens, who can hardly believe the frail boy they once teased has bested a criminal feared by full-grown soldiers. The Prefect's daughter, too, sees that beneath Billy's fearful exterior lies a compassionate heart determined to protect others.Spurred by rumors of wolves endangering the village orchard, Billy discovers that real bravery often means acting despite fear. Teaming up with the Prefect's daughter-who is no stranger to vulnerability-he stands his ground against the snarling pack, using a blend of song, quick thinking, and unity to drive them away. Their victory is not a grand display of heroics, but a shared moment of trembling resolve, revealing how empathy and selflessness can overcome even the darkest threats.Through companionship, resourcefulness, and a soft melody that resonates louder than terror, Billy transcends his fearful reputation. Each step of his journey-from anxious apprentice at the blacksmith's forge to humble hero of Rosemoor Village-proves that the greatest strength often hides within the most hesitant hearts. In the end, Billy's story is one of gentle persistence, showing that while fear never truly vanishes, it need not be the force that rules us.…
