Описание: For many years, Canadian cinema was dominated by the documentarytradition of the National Film Board, which tended to promote what filmscholar Jim Leach has called the “nationalist-realistproject”—films that privileged Canada’s naturallandscape and sought to conjure a unified sense of Canadian identityfrom images of empty, untrammelled wilderness and bucolic farmlands.Over the past several decades, however, the hegemony of thisfundamentally colonial, Anglo-centric vision has been challenged byfrancophone and First Nations perspectives and by the growth of cities,where most Canadians now reside, as economic and technological centres.In opposition to the mythic “Canada” shaped through thelens of rural nostalgia, Canadian urban identity asserts itself aspolyphonic, diverse, constructed through multiple discourses andmediums, as an ongoing negotiation rather than a monolithicorientation. Taking the urban as setting and subject, filmmakers areideally poised to capture this multiplicity, creating their own,idiosyncratic portraits of the Canadian urban landscape and of thepeople who inhabit it. Examining fourteen Canadian films produced from the late 1980sonward, including Denys Arcand’s Jesus de Montreal(1989), Mina Shum’s Double Happiness (1994), and GuyMaddin’s My Winnipeg (2007), Film and the Cityis the first comprehensive study of Canadian film and“urbanity”—the totality of urban culture and life asrefracted through the filmmaker’s prism. Drawing on insights fromboth film and urban studies and building upon issues of identityformation long debated in Canadian studies, Melnyk considers howfilmmakers interpret and employ the spatiality, visuality, and oralityof urban space and how audiences read the films that result. In thisway, Film and the City argues that Canadian narrative film ofthe postmodern period has contributed to the articulation of a new,multifaceted understanding of national identity.

Описание: Alberta writing has a long tradition. Beginning with the pictographs of Writing-on-Stone, followed by Euro-Canadian exploration texts, the post-treaty writing of the agrarian colonization period, and into the present era, Alberta writing has come to be seen as a distinct literature. In this volume Melnyk and Coates continue the project of scholarly analysis of Alberta literature that they began with Wild Words: Essays on Alberta Literature (2009). They argue that the essays in their new book confirm that Alberta's literary identity is historically contingent with a diverse, changing content, that makes its definition a work-in-progress.The essays in this volume provide contemporary perspectives on major figures in poetry and fiction, such as Robert Kroetsch, Sheila Watson, Alice Major, and Fred Stenson. Other essays bring to light relatively unknown figures such as the Serbian Canadian writer David Albahari and the pioneer clergyman Nestor Dmytrow.Writing Alberta offers a detailed discussion of contemporary Indigenous writers, an overview of Alberta historiography of the past century, and the fascinating autobiographical reflections of the novelist Katherine Govier on her literary career and its Alberta influences. This Collection demonstrates that Alberta writers, especially in the contemporary period, are not afraid to uncover, re-think, and re-imagine parts of Alberta history, thereby exposing what had been lain to rest as an unfinished business needing serious re-consideration.

Описание:

Women face unique challenges in daily life. Health is no exception. With their complex, interlocking systems for ovulation, reproduction, and hormone regulation, plus doctors' unfortunate tendency to assume female hysteria and hypochondria, too many women don't get the medical attention they need. This book can help women feel better about their health and their lives.

Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) both have something to offer; Dr. Melnyk's Women's Health: Western and Eastern Perspective is the first book that guides women to appropriate western and TCM responses to various ailments. It zeroes in especially on those issues specific to women, like hormones, infertility, menstrual problems, menopause, and sexual symptoms. Dr. Melnyk helps women rebalance their hormonal health through nutritional, herbal medicine, exercise, and other remedies. Readers will find charts, diagrams, pictures, and plenty of vivid stories from patients who reached an impasse with the western medical system and found relief through TCM. It teaches how women can take charge of their hormones, instead of the other way around.

The book is an excellent resource for patients, practitioners, educators, and TCM enthusiasts.
