Emma's message at the source

all about love.

Por fim, o amor romântico também está imerso no capitalismo afetivo, sendo frequentemente comercializado e transformado em produto. Relações, gestos de afeto e até momentos íntimos são muitas vezes moldados por interesses econômicos e consumistas. Isso pode criar uma superficialidade nas conexões humanas, tornando o amor mais um objeto de consumo do que uma experiência genuína de troca afetiva.

On Position

The Incomparable bell hooks Trailblazing author, poet, feminist, cultural critic and professor bell hooks preferring to spell her name with no capital letters as a way of de-emphasizing her individual identity, was born Gloria Jean Watkins as the fourth of seven children in Hopkinsville, Ky. Her pen name was a tribute to her maternal great-grandmother, Bell Blair Hooks. The author of more than three dozen wide-ranging books, hooks published her first title, the poetry collection And There We Wept, in 1978. Her influential book Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism followed in 1981. Three years later, her Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center explored and criticized the feminist movement's propensity to center and privilege white women's experiences. Frequently, hooks' work addressed the deep intersections of race, gender, class, sexuality and geographic place. She wrote about her native Appalachia and growing up there as a Black girl in the critical-essay collection Belonging: A Culture of Place and in the poetry collection Appalachian Elegy: Poetry and Place. - via Anastasia Tsioulcas, NPR CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #historyandhiphop365 #cartermagazine #carter #bellhooks #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #history #staywoke https://www.instagram.com/p/CmOcWH0ulxX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

UN-LEARNING IS ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS TOWARD HEALING “Learning to wear a mask is the first lesson in patriarchal masculinity a boy learns. He learns that his core feelings cannot be expressed if they do not conform to the acceptable behaviors sexism defines as male. Asked to give up the true self in order to realize the patriarchal ideal, boys learn self-betrayal early and are rewarded for these acts of soul murder.“ - bell hooks, The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love Shirt rocked by @igiveyoumoore #notetoself #blackmen #blackmentalhealth #unlearn #bellhooks #healing #blackmasculinity https://www.instagram.com/p/CqgRMIhJyUn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
