Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In education, as in other areas of human endeavour, we often strive for what is easiest, least troubling and most certain. We want clear, definitive answers to our questions. Ambiguity and complexity may be viewed as impediments to our progress as learners, and doubt will sometimes be portrayed as a sign of weakness. This book pushes back against these tendencies. Informed by the work of Giacomo Leopardi, Arthur Schopenhauer, Simone Weil, Maxine Greene, Miguel de Unamuno, and Simone de Beauvoir, it explores some of the uncomfortable, unsettling, less frequently visited edges of education. These conceptual and lived spaces often blur the boundaries between the possible and the impossible, setting limits while also opening up unexpected opportunities for teaching and learning. They are there for us all to experience, if only we can open our eyes to see them and muster the courage to investigate them. Extending upon the key ideas from Professor Robert's previous volume, Happiness, Hope and Despair (2016), this book introduces new literary figures and fresh approaches to exploring the inner territories at the Edges of Education.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This study of a novel by William T. Vollmann offers a port of entry into his fiction. Like other titles from his planned Seven Dreams collection, The Rifles deconstructs the historical novel. Following in the steps of the nineteenth-century English explorer John Franklin, the contemporary American character Subzero risks his life in the Arctic, looking for a way to transcend the history of colonization and his personal limitations. He ventures out on the permafrost of his memory, both private and collective, haunted by history as he revisits the Gothic genre. Deploying the poetry of an anachronistic errand into the white wilderness of snow and ice, in the wake of Herman Melvilles Captain Ahab and Edgar Allan Poes Arthur Gordon Pym, the narrator plays with avatars of the author as an explorer, a historian, a cartographer and a sketch-artist to encounter otherness, whether Inuit women or men, or fellow travelers who exchange with the authorial figure in his search for meaning. This critical analysis uses close-reading, ecocriticism, cultural studies and comparative literature to examine an innovative novel of the post-postmodern canon, by one of the finest contemporary American authors. This critical study offers a port of entry into Vollmanns fiction. The Rifles deconstructs the historical novel, and the venture of the 19th-century English explorer John Franklin, revisiting the Gothic genre.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. There is a clear and pressing need for collective action to develop alternative approaches to the way we organize our activities.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Die Erzaehlungen von Dostojewskij und Miguel de Unamuno zeugen von einer lebenslangen intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit existenziellen Fragen wie Schuld, Neid, Gerechtigkeit, Liebe, Sinn und Religion. Die philosophisch-theologische Rezeption ihrer Werke stellte haeufig diese Fragen an sich, also das "Was des Textes", in den Vordergrund, waehrend die kuenstlerisch-aesthetische Seite, das "Wie des Textes", wenig Beachtung fand. Die Besonderheit literarischer Werke liegt aber gerade in der konkreten Textgestalt, aus der keine Aussage herausgeloest werden kann, ohne diese Besonderheit selbst aufzuheben. Die vorliegende Studie zeigt die Verschraenkung von literarischer Gestaltung und philosophisch-theologischer Reflexion und versteht die narrative Form nicht als austauschbaren Rahmen, sondern als konstitutives Element. Aus dieser Perspektive werden Schluesselwerke von Dostojewskij und Unamuno neu erschlossen. Zwei Erzaehlungen von Dostojewskij und Miguel de Unamuno, Frucht einer lebenslangen, intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit existenziellen Fragen wie Schuld, Neid, Gerechtigkeit, Liebe, Sinn und Religion, werden aus theologisch-philosophischer und literarischer Sicht eroertert und nach dem Grundsatz der Verschraenkung von Inhalt und Form neu gedeutet.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this groundbreaking study, Misinformation Finds Them unearths how the perceived threat of misinformation effects on other people is just as potent if not more so than the actual impact that hybrid media systems have on democracy and community in the heartland. Here, it is not that rural Americans are particularly vulnerable to misinformation; they are highly active media consumers, but they generally rely on news to "find me" rather than actively critically engaging with a diverse set of sources. This passive News Finds Me approach to media engagement, coupled with their belief that others are more susceptible to receiving and spreading misleading or false narratives, gives rise to distrust and polarization.The Misinformation Finds Them (MFT) perception is particularly potent as algorithms and AI are increasingly embedded in news distribution systems that seek to maximize user engagement with personalized content. The perceived threat of misinformation can exacerbate polarization, but the notion that misinformation radicalizes rural populations simply is not accurate, and rural Americans show no meaningful differences to their more urban counterparts in terms of knowledge and media use. "Vogts and Groshek offer fascinating insights into the polarized media ecosystem of rural America, an under-researched area that is meticulously addressed in this innovative book. It empirically provides an understanding of the way many rural Americans in Kansas distrustfully view media, and the impact of social networks on them, especially their beliefs in misinformation itself. The authors cleverly attempt to go beyond the standard discussion of misinformation, offering a more nuanced view with their origination of the "Misinformation Finds Them" concept. It is a must read for any citizen or scholar interested in better understanding the contemporary media environment of rural America." Ahmed al-Rawi, Associate Professor Simon Fraser University "A timely, unflinching investigation into how misinformation quietly radicalizes rural America. Misinformation Finds Them doesnt just expose echo chambers. It humanizes them. Vogts and Grosheks essential read challenges stereotypes, connects hybrid media, bonding social capital, news finds me perception, and other media theories to real lives, and urges us to rethink how truth, identity, and democracy intersect in USAs heartland." Homero Gil de Zuniga, Distinguished Professor University of Salamanca and Pennsylvania State University This study suggests a new phenomenon; the Misinformation Finds Them (MFT) perception. This suggests that people are not only exposed to misinformation by participating in their usual media and social ecosystems, but that they consider the threat of misinformation real and more impactful on others. This distortion results in greater polarization. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

"Wedsly Turenne Guerrier embarks on a fascinating journey that explores the contributions of iconic Haitian authors, poets, and artists who have contributed so much to its history, culture and society."Francois Pierre-Louis, Professor of Political Science and Chair, Queens College, City University of New York"This must-read book brings to the forefront aspects of Haitian history, literature and culture that have been neglected for too long. The author paints an authentic, brilliant, and novel portrait of Haiti."Lewis Ampidou Clormeus, Professor of Sociology, State University of Haiti, Associate Research Scholar, Yale UniversityIn spite of its richness and beauty, Haitian literature remains, for the most part, unknown and understudied. It is multilingual, creating further barriers for many readers. Beyond Rebellion and Exoticism: Selected Visions of Haiti 18921994 aims to overcome these barriers, presenting Haitian literature in all its dazzling variety and contrasts, and offering translations of previously untranslated works from French and Haitian Creole into English. The book analyzes works by Haitian writers such as Massillon Coicou, Jacques Roumain, Jean-Claude Martineau, Emmanuel Vedrine and Anne-Christine dAdesky, as well as the Martinican author Aime Cesaire. Published between 1892 and 1994, this distinguished body of work reveals the multiplicity of Haitian identity and interiority. Across various languages, periods and genres, these authors use their voices to resist illegitimate power and dictatorship. By showing the impact of colonization and slavery on Haitian thought, the interference of the international community in Haitis affairs, the dictatorial nature of the Duvalier regimes, and the efforts by Haitian citizens to improve their lives and reject hegemonic influences, author Wedsly Guerrier presents a compelling portrait of Haiti that moves beyond preconceived notions of this complicated, fascinating, and unique country. Studied from a postcolonial perspective, the works in this book help to show the bearing of colonization and slavery on Haitian thought, the interference of the international community in Haitis affairs, the dictatorial aspects of the Duvalier regimes, and the efforts by Haitian citizens to improve their lives and reject hegemonic influences.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This monograph examines Japans "food problem"the countrys dependence on food importswithin the framework of the diplomatic relations with the U. S. from 1945 to the early 1970s. Japan is highly reliant on food imports, with the U. S. as its primary supplier. Existing literature has often framed this dependence as a product of postwar power dynamics, portraying Japan as a passive participant in the "American wheat strategy," which prioritized U.S. agricultural surpluses over domestic production. This study seeks to move beyond this narrative, offering a more nuanced perspective. Through an analysis of primary sources as well as secondary literature, it argues that Japans reliance on U.S. food imports was shaped not solely by external pressures but by negotiations, strategic considerations, and mutual interests. The goal is to highlight Japans agency in shaping its agricultural and food policies rather than portraying it as a passive recipient of external decisions. This monograph examines Japans food dependence within JapanU.S. relations (19451970s). Often seen as a passive participant in the "American wheat strategy," Japan was instead an active agent. Through primary and secondary sources, this study highlights how its reliance on U.S. imports was shaped by strategic choices and mutual interests. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Relatively recently it has been acknowledged that Black women too often experience extreme psychological distress such as depression, anxiety disorders, panic, phobias, fear, eating disorders, low self-esteem, loneliness from social isolation, PTSD/PTSS, emotional pain, suffering, and suicide to name a few. Mental health conditions both negatively or positively affect their physical health and wellbeing. For example, depression is found to be associated with an increased risk of hypertension and other chronic illnesses such as diabetes, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis (Badescu et al. 2016; DeMoss et al. 2020; van Tuijl et al. 2023; Webb, 2022). We, Black Superwomen, have a long history of denying our mental health challenges. The status of Black womens mental health has always shown up in our physical reality and, currently, we are in another moment of awareness that seeks to clarify the health consequences and costs of the Black superwoman trope. Originally published in 1978, Michele Wallace brought to our attention the myth of the Black Superwoman highlighting our struggles and humanity. More recently Marita Golden in 2021 explored the same issue interviewing Black women about the hidden mental health crisis surrounding their lives. Her book offers crucial stories about how important it is for Black women to ask for help, learn strategies for healing, and build self-care into their lives.Unfortunately, when we do strive to heal ourselves, we encounter difficulties concerning access to care. So, we must creatively and collectively develop innovative avenues of care for ourselves. We, Black (Super)women, must prioritize our health and wellbeing not alone but also in concert with other Black women who are on similar journeys. Conferences such as the Annual Strong Black Women Redefined Conference (Renaye) offering self-love healing retreats organized for and by Black women, and podcasts like Therapy for Black Girls (Harden-Bradford) are designed to help. Today, there are a range of actions, methods, and expressive therapies to help soothe the soul, but many of us dont take advantage. Reading The Black Superwoman and Mental Health: Power and Pain is one step not only for ourselves as individuals, but for our communities as well. We must continue the early education of Black girls and other women towards healthier mental and physical wellbeing. It is not easy to reveal oneself and to be vulnerable in a public way as the authors in this book have done. This is the act of resisting the voices and social scripts that say we do not air our "dirty laundry", we should keep "secrets" to remain safe, yet unhealthy. Audrey Lord encouraged us to speak out as our silence will not protect us and it will certainly harm our psychological and physical health and well-being (Van de Mortele, 2016). Therefore, we must find safe spaces to speak our truths, to heal. We sincerely thank these authors of poetry, short stories, essays, and research for their contributions as they bear witness to many of the circumstances that inform our lives. It is through the process of seeking, doing, and being, sometimes in private counseling (or psychotherapy), that many of us learn to acknowledge, analyze, speak, and eventually write the truth of/about our lives and to move closer to being whole black women. This edited volume contains essays, stories, and poetry from Black women struggling to play superwoman. It examines mental health issues amongst Black women exploring how they feel, what they do, and why they must fight to maintain a sense of wholeness. This item is printed on demand.
