Описание: In an age where southern power-holders look north and see only vacant polar landscapes, isolated communities, and exploitable resources, it is important to note that the Inuit homeland encompasses extensive philosophical, political, and literary traditions. Stories in a New Skin is a seminal text that explores these Arctic literary traditions and, in the process, reveals a pathway into Inuit literary criticism.Author Keavy Martin considers writing, storytelling, and performance from a range of genres and historical periods – the classic stories and songs of Inuit oral traditions, life writing, oral histories, and contemporary fiction, poetry and film – and discusses the ways in which these texts constitute an autonomous literary tradition. She draws attention to the interconnection between language, form and context and illustrates the capacity of Inuit writers, singers and storytellers to instruct diverse audiences in the appreciation of Inuit texts.Although Eurowestern academic contexts and literary terminology are a relatively foreign presence in Inuit territory, Martin builds on the inherent adaptability and resilience of Inuit genres in order to foster greater southern awareness of a tradition whose audience has remained primarily northern.
Автор: Wasserman Martin Название: Thinking in Tristichs: Original Poems Inspired by Thomas Wolfe`s Short Stories ISBN: 1796041483 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781796041484 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 14710.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In Japan, Thomas Wolfe's long narrative novels frequently inspired his readers to write a great number of haiku poems. However, Martin Wasserman, this book's author, discovered that it was not in Wolfe's novels but in his short stories where one could find endless inspiration. Moreover, in Professor Wasserman's case, it was not the writing of haiku that eventually resulted from the perusing of Wolfe's shorter works but a different type of three-line poem known as the tristich. Fortunately, as the late Greek poet Yannis Ritsos pointed out, tristichs, just like haikus, are capable of delivering sweet and poignant little pictures that often stay with the reader over a lifetime.

Автор: Ruth Martin, Korchinski Mo, Fels Lyn Название: Releasing Hope: Stories of Transition from Prison to Community ISBN: 1771337052 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781771337052 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 15770.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Literary Nonfiction. Women's Studies. RELEASING HOPE was born out of the first book, ARRESTING HOPE: WOMEN TAKING ACTION IN PRISON HEALTH INSIDE OUT (Inanna Publications, 2014), which describes participatory health research and the experience of women incarcerated inside a British Columbian provincial correctional center from 2005 to 2007. Readers of ARRESTING HOPE, moved by the stories written by incarcerated women, asked, "What happened next? How are the women doing now that they are released from prison?" Starting in 2007, women who were released from prison formed a network called Women in2 Healing because they wished to continue participatory health research in the community. Their overarching research question was, "How can we improve the health of women in prison and following their release?" RELEASING HOPE describes the journeys of formerly incarcerated women and their encounters with the barriers (financial, emotional, familial, systemic) that they confronted during their reintegration in the community. RELEASING HOPE touches on the stories of individual women and the learning from participatory health research that made visible their lives, their hopes, their dreams and fears.

Although war memoirs constitute a rich, varied literary form, they are often dismissed by historians as unreliable. This collection of essays is one of the first to explore the modern war memoir, revealing the genre’s surprising capacity for breadth and sophistication while remaining sensitive to the challenges it poses for scholars. Covering conflicts from the Napoleonic era to today, the studies gathered here consider how memoirs have been used to transmit particular views of war even as they have emerged within specific social and political contexts.

Автор: Caterina Albert Название: Silent Souls and Other Stories ISBN: 1603290427 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781603290425 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 21730.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Caterina Albert i Parad?s (1869-1966) began her career with a scandal. Her dramatic monologue ""The Infanticide,"" delivered by a young woman, won prizes and garnered the attention of the Catalan literary world, but its harsh theme drew outrage when the anonymous author was revealed to be a woman. In the tradition of George Eliot, George Sand, and other controversial women authors, Albert had assumed a man's name, V?ctor Catal?. She continued to write unflinching narratives, mostly in Catalan, of the people and life around her, producing a body of work still enlisted today to help the Catalan language resist the dominance of Peninsular Spanish.
This anthology is an exciting new collection of Korean fiction in translation from the early years of the twentieth century that demonstrate the political and ideological divides that Koreans experienced during this time.
