Even though Zayn’s fashioning of masculinity calls attention to how gendered identities are constructed and performed in pop, I conclude that his representation in Pillowtalk conforms to heteronormative gender dynamics as much as it challenges them.Įmploying performance studies and queer studies, this article explores the subversive nature of western female fandom's consumption of male dancing bodies in Korean pop (K-pop) culture. By analyzing the music video Pillowtalk (2016), I demonstrate how provocative lyrical themes, shock effects, and surreal aesthetics showcase Zayn’s masculinity as dangerous and seductive. My methodological approach is grounded in critical musicology and involves investigating issues of personal narrative, sonic production, and audiovisual aesthetics. This article examines the considerable changes to image and style that accompanied Zayn’s transition to a solo career, and argues that a primary motivation for his reconfiguration as an artist lies in opposing the common stereotypes and prejudices associated with the boy band format. Zayn Malik’s debut solo album, Mind of Mine (2016), topped numerous charts worldwide and made him the only British male solo artist to have debuted at the top of the prestigious Billboard 200 album chart with a first album, thus extending the astounding commercial success he had previously achieved with the boy band One Direction.

Book Synopsis The Complete Guide to Winning Poker by : Albert H. Not the king’s dashing and enigmatic illegitimate son. The nobles don’t respect her, her councillors want to control her, and with the mystery of who killed the king still unsolved, she knows that a single mistake could cost her the kingdom-and her life.Freya is determined to survive, and that means uncovering the murderers herself. However, when an extravagant banquet turns deadly and the king and those closest to him are poisoned, Freya suddenly finds herself on the throne.She may have escaped the massacre, but she is far from safe. Twenty-third in line to the throne, she never dreamed of a life in the palace, and would much rather research in her laboratory than participate in the intrigues of the court. The Girl of Fire and Thorns meets The Queen of the Tearling in this thrilling fantasy standalone about one girl’s unexpected rise to power.Freya was never meant to be queen. In many ways, his deeply personal - and somewhat selfish - fears echo that of the country’s citizens at large who are determined to stop the Government heading into a war that no-one wants. These dual events turn out to be thwarted catastrophes, but there’s an air of menace that permeates Perowne’s thoughts and deeds throughout the day. Perowne’s normal Saturday - playing squash with a colleague, watching his son’s band rehearsal, shopping for food and then preparing a lavish family meal in preparation for his daughter’s arrival home after a stint away - gets slightly turned on its head when, first, in the early hours of the morning, he stands at his bedroom window and sees a burning aeroplane arc across the sky towards Heathrow Airport, and second, when he is involved in a very minor car accident that turns into a potentially life-threatening situation. But the protest is a mere backdrop to a more deeply personal story, that of a day-in-the-life of a well-established and highly successful neurosurgeon, Henry Perowne, whose comfortable existence is rocked by a string of unforeseen events. It was the biggest ever demonstration witnessed in the UK.Īs someone who took part in the Stop the War march, I was keen to read Saturday by Ian McEwan because it is famously set in London on that very day. On Saturday Februalmost a million people took to the streets of London to protest against the impending war in Iraq. Fiction – paperback Vintage 282 pages 2005. These people are my family by virtue of being part of God’s family. Their lives may have looked vastly different from mine, but as children of the same Father, their stories are my family history-on a more significant level than the history of that town in New York. The stories of Augustine of Canterbury, Bertha, Aidan, Columba, and Caedmon captured my imagination because these men and women shared my love for Christ and his kingdom. Bede’s depiction of the process of spreading the gospel to the English people was my history. My experience the first time I read Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People was similar. The people whose stories we read and whose pictures we saw were my people. I remember feeling so important as a kid-this place was named after me! Even today, the history we saw there is especially vivid in my mind because I experienced it as my history. We stopped by the town hall to learn some of the history and discovered it had been named after our distant ancestor. As we drove through upstate New York, we stumbled across both a town and a mountain called by our last name. When I was in elementary school, my family flew to New Hampshire and took a road trip home to Colorado, stopping to see the sights along the way. When I was growing up, the Cornell Public Library was located on Green Street near the movie theater where I saw Babes in Toyland. Ormondroyd depicts, that of the early Sixties and the Victorian one that preceded it. I would go so far as to recommend Time at the Top to adults who would like to escape our current NYC with its Trumpian imprint for the two New Yorks Mr. I reread it several years ago and was delighted to find out that he had written a sequel, All in Good Time. I first took out Time at the Top when the Cornell Public Library was located next to the movie theater on Green Street and it remains my favorite children’s book. I’m not sure why he is not read as much today, but he deserves publicity. He is an extraordinary writer of fantasy who captivated my imagination as a boomer. Ormondroyd receives an obituary in the NY Times, it will be because of Time at the Top, David and the Phoenix, The Castaways on Long Ago, and his other books. While I loved reading David Wren’s interview of September 26 in Ulysses Town Talk with Joan and Edward Ormondroyd, I feel compelled to add more about his writing and how it is such an important part of children’s literature.
