Same old offers a rethinking of positions that have defined queer
theory since its inception in the early 1990s. Steeped in
philosophical and political commitments to 'difference', queer
theoretical frameworks have tended to assume that ideas related to
'sameness' only thwart and stymie queer forms of life. But this
book takes a number of these ideas as its focus - uselessness,
reproduction, normativity and reductionism - and reveals their
unexpected formal and thematic importance to a range of queer
literary genres from across the long twentieth century:
fin-de-siecle aestheticism, feminist speculative fiction, lesbian
middlebrow writing, and the 'stud file' or record of serial sex.
Demonstrating how queer cultural objects often stand at odds with
the frameworks that have been meant to help interpret and
comprehend them, Same old interrogates the genealogy of the
aversion to sameness that has kept those frameworks in place. -- .

The 'Reflections' series is a compilation of writings and thoughts
from Sifu Freddie Lee. The series has been entitled 'Reflections'
as they are Sifu Lee's thoughts, his reflections, but also because
these thoughts have been compiled to act as a mirror, to reflect
the direction that individuals and society in general is going and
to draw people's attention to these problems the way mirrors often
attract people's attention. Each volume covers a range of topics
such as identifying the ego, healthy (and unhealthy) physical
training and discovering happiness pursuing an Art. These topics
are broadly split into the three facets of human development; the
body, the mind and the spirit. Only through the development and
training of each of these three aspects of human existence can a
person become truly balanced, healthy and happy. Every chapter has
been written with the hope that it will encourage you to think
about your own life and your own reality. You are not expected to
blindly agree with everything that is said but maybe it will
encourage you to discover what truly motivates you, what truly
makes you happy and to truly help you discover your own Way.
This novel is a recollection of short stories that follows Seadog,
a misguided product of the cyberpunk revolution, as he wonders his
way as a ghost through the wireless world that surrounds us all.
Watch from behind the helm as he sails his ship into distant
previously unknown waters plundering our network resources and
looting our personal information.
