Book Description
Barbara Górnicka presents a sociological investigation – both historical and contemporary – into the problems surrounding naked bodies. She draws on her own participation in a nudist swimming club and goes on to study the often very complex and paradoxical emotions that have been associated with nakedness in the Western world for centuries. The book provides answers not only to why we find exposing our naked bodies shameful, but also why we find it sexual and erotic in the first place. It looks beneath taboos surrounding nakedness today and offers a theoretical explanation for their development over time. On the basis of her historical analysis, the author demonstrates that it was not until the late nineteenth or twentieth century that we began to see nudity as erotic.

Book Description
Have you ever noticed how a little child can run naked through a room full of strangers without embarrassment? He/she is not aware of his/her nakedness, just as Adam and Eve were not embarrassed in their innocence. But, after Adam and Eve sinned, embarrassment, shame, and awkwardness followed, creating barriers between themselves and God. We often experience these same barriers in marriage. Ideally, husband and wife have no barriers, feeling no shame exposing themselves to each other and God. The moment there is a sin to hide; we put on fig leaves (barriers) because we have areas we do not want our spouse, or God, to know about. Then we hide, just as Adam and Eve hid from God. In marriage, lack of spiritual, emotional, and intellectual intimacy usually precedes a breakdown of physical intimacy.

Book Description
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." (Colossians 3:12) Adam and Eve were embarrassed before God because they were naked. The best they could do was to cover themselves in fig leaves. Like Adam and Eve, we too were naked, embarrassed, and exposed before God. Putting on spiritual fig leaves couldn't cover all of our flaws, scars, and sins. But God, in his great mercy, sacrificed his son to clothe us in his righteousness and character. The problem is our outfit isn't super glued on. We must dress everyday in the spiritual attire God has designed for us. He has provided a stunning outfit, but we need to put it on. We must squeeze into the underwear of humility, to give us a lift ("Humble yourselves...and he will lift you up" James 4:10) so that the rest of our outfit has a good foundation. Let's put on the slacks of compassion and a shirt of gentleness and remember to wear shoes of kindness so that we "keep in step with the Spirit" (Galatians 5:25) taking God's beauty to the world. Over all put on the jacket of patience to protect us from storms. This ten-week study is an opportunity to allow God to become your spiritual Fashion Designer. Adorned in God's finest, you will be gorgeous. You will also be dressed perfectly to enhance your style and personality. Are you tired of being spiritually "Naked, Embarrassed, and Exposed? Then Put Something On." Shereen Lashua is a Bible teacher and speaker. She has been teaching for more than 25 years, focusing on the importance of discipleship in the believer's life. Shereen's sincere desire is to encourage others to glorify God and enjoy him forever.

Book Description
This volume reports on the growing body of knowledge on shame and guilt, integrating findings from the authors' original research program with other data emerging from social, clinical, personality, and developmental psychology. Evidence is presented to demonstrate that these universally experienced affective phenomena have significant implications for many aspects of human functioning, with particular relevance for interpersonal relationships. --From publisher's description.

Book Description
The cross of Christ is undeniably central to the Christian faith. But, how can the cruelty and brutality of a two-thousand-year-old Roman cross touch base with a hedonistic world that has been so desensitized towards violence? Within the postmodern setting of a body-obsessed culture, Christianity urgently requires an innovative and stimulating way of understanding the cross and its atoning significance. At the heart of this book is the Naked Christ--an emblem through which the author draws on the rich resources of the Christian tradition in its portrayal of the cross. He explores how the metaphors of nakedness and clothing can encapsulate aspects of atonement and enable them to be understood within a variety of contemporary contexts. The Naked Christ is a useful resource for anyone seeking fresh ways to express what the cross of Christ means to contemporary culture.

Book Description
Shame is one of our most central feelings and a universal human characteristic. Why do we experience it? For what purpose? How can we cope with excessive feelings of shame? In this elegant exposition informed by many years of helping people to understand feelings of shame, leading Jungian analyst Mario Jacoby provided a comprehensive exploration of the many aspects of shame and showed how it occupies a central place in our emotional experience. Jacoby demonstrated that a lack of self-esteem is often at the root of excessive shame, and as well as providing practical examples of how therapy can help, he drew upon a wealth of historical and cultural scholarship to show how important shame is for us in both its individual and social aspects. This Classic Edition includes a new foreword by Marco Della Chiesa.

Book Description
Although nudity is something that everyone has experience with, public nudity is still largely considered taboo. Public Nudity and the Rhetoric of the Body examines instances of public nudity where sexuality is at the forefront of public body display. It presents a range of case studies: the legal aspects of sexualized public nudity as it relates to communication theory and the First Amendment; the controversies surrounding the work of photographer Jock Sturges; the public performance art of Milo Moiré; the topless protests of FEMEN; the social media activism of Aliaa Magda Elmahdy; the ritualized flashing during Mardi Gras in New Orleans; and the sexual displays of Folsom Street Fair, the largest leather pride festival. Taken together, these cases teach much about identity, self-determination, and sexuality, and illustrate the complicated rhetorical nature of the human body in the public sphere.

Book Description
This volume explores the emotions that are intricately woven into the texture of everyday life and experience. A contribution to the literature on the sociology of emotions, it focuses on the role of emotions as being integral to daily life, broadening our understanding by examining both ‘core’ emotions and those that are often overlooked or omitted from more conventional studies. Bringing together theoretical and empirical studies from scholars across a range of subjects, including sociology, psychology, cultural studies, history, politics and cognitive science, this international collection centres on the ‘everyday-ness’ of emotional experience.
