Описание: Public Poetics is a collection of essays and poems that address some of the most pressing issues of the discipline in the twenty-first century. The collection brings together fifteen original essays addressing ""publics,"" ""poetry,"" and ""poetics"" from the situated space of Canada while simultaneously troubling the notion of the nation as a stable term. It asks hard questions about who and what count as ""publics"" in Canada. Critical essays stand alongside poetry as visual and editorial reminders of the cross-pollination required in thinking through both poetry and poetics. Public Poetics is divided into three thematic sections. The first contains essays surveying poetics in the present moment through the lens of the public/private divide, systematic racism in Canada, the counterpublic, feminist poetics, and Canadian innovations on postmodern poetics. The second section contains author-specific studies of public poets. The final section contains essays that use innovative renderings of ""poetics"" as a means of articulating alternative communities and practices. Each section is paired with a collection of original poetry by ten contemporary Canadian poets. This collection attends to the changing landscape of critical discourse around poetry and poetics in Canada, and will be of use to teachers and students of poetry and poetics.

Описание: Pierre Elliott Trudeau – radical progressive or unavowed socialist? His legacy remains divisive. The Constant Liberal traces the charismatic politician’s relationship with the left and labour movements throughout his career. Christo Aivalis argues that Trudeau was in fact a consistently classic liberal, driven by individualist and capitalist principles. This comprehensive analysis showcases the interplay between liberalism and democratic socialism that defined Trudeau’s world view – and shaped his use of power. The Constant Liberal suggests that Trudeau’s leftist activity was less a call for social democracy than a warning to fellow liberals that lack of reform could undermine liberal-capitalist social relations.

Описание: An analytic and historical perspective of literary texts to understand the position of domestic workers in South Africa More than a million black South African women are domestic workers. Precariously situated between urban and rural areas, rich and poor, white and black, these women are at once intimately connected and at a distant remove from the families they serve. Ena Jansen shows that domestic worker relations in South Africa were shaped by the institution of slavery, establishing social hierarchies and patterns of behavior that persist today. To support her argument, Jansen examines the representation of domestic workers in a diverse range of texts in English and Afrikaans. Authors include Andr? Brink, JM Coetzee, Imraan Coovadia, Nadine Gordimer, Elsa Joubert, Antjie Krog, Sindiwe Magona, Kopano Matlwa, Es'kia Mphahlele, Sisonke Msimang, Zukiswa Wanner and Zo? Wicomb. Like Family is an updated version of the award-winning Soos familie (2015) and the highly-acclaimed 2016 Dutch translation, Bijna familie.

Описание: What`s wrong with work shows that how workers are treated has wide implications beyond the lives of workers themselves. Recognising gender, race, class and global differences, the book considers the ways formal work is often dependent on informal work and concludes by considering what might make work better.

Описание: Les techniques de cuisson ont suscite de nombreuses etudes scientifiques relevant de la nutrition comme de la chimie alimentaire. Les cuissons et les roles sociaux qui y sont associes constituent un sujet d’etude privilegie des anthropologues, des ethnologues et des sociologues. L’archeologie trouve dans la fouille des foyers de combustion une ressource majeure pour mieux comprendre les dispositifs d’habitat et de vie. La litterature fournit de multiples evocations du feu, de sa chaleur et de la preparation des repas. Les ustensiles et les methodes employees pour faire cuire les aliments n’ont pas echappe aux peintres. En depit de toutes ces manifestations d’interet, le sujet immense que constituent les operations de cuisson des nourritures au fil des siecles et dans toutes les aires culturelles avait assez peu retenu l’attention des historiens. Cet ouvrage introduit une reflexion qui appelle a se saisir pleinement d’un theme fondamental de l’histoire et des cultures de l’alimentation. Les communications rassemblees ici empruntent a plusieurs disciplines (histoire, archeologie, anthropologie), couvrent des aires geographiques diverses (Proche Orient, Russie, Mediterranee occidentale et orientale, Inde, Maghreb, Anatolie, Mongolie, Sud Est de l’Asie, Australie, Europe) et la tres longue duree, des dispositifs neolithiques aux innovations culinaires contemporaines. Les questions abordees interessent les aspects economiques et techniques, les choix energetiques et la transmission des apprentissages culinaires, comme les enjeux culturels et genres qui s’organisent autour d’un feu, d’un appareil, d’un recipient et en fin de compte des repas.
