Download or read book The Politics of Silence Voice and the In Between written by Aliya Khalid and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Silence, Voice and the In-Between: Exploring Gender, Race and Insecurity from the Margins seeks to dismantle the deficit discourses generated through research about people as agency-less and, by extension, objects of study. The book argues that, regardless of marginalisation, people create spaces of liminality where they seek control over their lives by navigating the structures that exclude them. Challenging the false binary of silence as violence and voice as power, the book introduces the idea of an in-between ‘liminal space’ which is created by people to navigate conditions of oppression and move towards a politically stable and inclusive world. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of gender studies, international development, peace and conflict studies, politics and international relations, sociology and media studies. It will be an important resource for courses incorporating gender, feminist and postcolonial perspectives.

Download or read book The Silent Land written by David Dunham and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-06-29 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Rebecca Lawrence reached a count of sixty in her head and slid her finger into the back pages of her mother’s diary. Mistaking the diary for a book granted her innocence the first time she’d opened it. She had no argument for innocence now.’ Just when Rebecca Lawrence believed joy had come into her life, she learns the truth about how her mother died years before. Marriage to her first love and motherhood pulls her back from resentment, only for the First World War to threaten her peace when her husband is sent to fight. When she discovers another lie which could fracture her world, she is faced with the choice of ignoring it, or letting the scars of the past corrupt her. Set between 1903 and 1919, The Silent Land explores the complexities of love and the pursuit of truth in grief. The inspirational purity of the heroine will draw readers in, demonstrating how strength can be found at times when it would have seemed inconceivable. The Silent Land explores the different shades of grief – the loss of a mother through assisted suicide, the loss of a father through a heart attack, and the loss of a husband through conflict. Comparable to works by Colm Tóibín and Sebastian Faulks, this is a moving and eloquently written tale of the overwhelming struggle faced by women left at home during the war.

Book excerpt: Magic and technology collide in the first book of the Windrose Chronicles by the New York Times–bestselling author and “fabulously talented writer” (Charlaine Harris). In a world where wizards are relegated to ghettos, it is no surprise to see one murdered in the street. But for Stonne Caris, a young warrior monk who sees the killing and gives chase to the culprit, there is nothing ordinary about seeing a murderer disappear into a black, inky portal. The Archmage sends him in search of Antryg Windrose—a half-mad mage who understands the nature of these passages between dimensions. On the other side of the Void is Joanna, a programmer as mild as Caris is deadly. She has spent her life in cubicles, staring into computer terminals, as far from heroism as she can get. But when the power that is crossing between dimensions draws her through the Void, she finds herself battling to save a world she never even knew existed. With intricate worldbuilding and complex plot twists, The Silent Tower is a compelling introduction to one of this generation’s greatest female fantasy writers.

Download or read book The Silent Witness written by Robin Wickens and published by Rob's Books. This book was released on 2024-07-03 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The moon hung high in the cloudless night sky, casting a pale, eerie glow over the small coastal town. The waves crashed rhythmically against the rocky shore, their sound a ghostly whisper in the quiet darkness. A lone figure moved through the shadows, blending seamlessly with the night. In the heart of the town, an old, abandoned warehouse stood silent and foreboding. Its broken windows and crumbling façade hinted at a long-forgotten past, now shrouded in mystery and neglect. Inside, the air was thick with the scent of damp wood and decay. The figure moved with practiced precision, every step calculated and deliberate. Clad in black from head to toe, the killer wore gloves to avoid leaving any trace. In their hand, a slender, gleaming knife caught the faint moonlight that streamed through the broken windows. On the cold, concrete floor lay the latest victim—a young woman in her early twenties, her lifeless eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. The killer had worked quickly, efficiently. The cut was clean, a single, precise stroke to the throat that ensured silence and a swift death. There was no sign of struggle, no indication of a fight. The victim had been taken by surprise; her fate sealed in a matter of seconds. The killer knelt beside the body, meticulously arranging the woman’s hands over her chest, a macabre semblance of peace. From a small pouch, they extracted a single white lily and placed it delicately on the victim’s chest. The flower’s stark whiteness contrasted sharply with the dark pool of blood spreading beneath her. The killer stood, surveying their work with a cold, detached satisfaction. There were no fingerprints, no footprints, nothing that could link them to the crime. They had perfected their methods over the years, leaving behind only a haunting signature—a silent witness to their presence. As the killer melted back into the shadows, the sound of distant sirens began to pierce the night. The police would arrive soon, but by then, the killer would be long gone, a phantom slipping away into the darkness. Outside, the night continued its relentless march toward dawn. The town slept on, unaware that another life had been claimed, another soul lost to the enigmatic predator who moved unseen among them. The moonlight dimmed as clouds began to gather, casting the town into deeper shadow. The scene was set, the stage prepared for the arrival of Dr. Sarah Winters, who would soon find herself drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a killer who was always one step ahead. And so, the dance of death continued, silent and unseen, beneath the indifferent gaze of the night.

When his wife Maria is taken into hospital after a serious fall during a competitive run, Chris Morrison does what anyone would do in a crisis: he phones his family. His son Mikey answers the call, but his daughter Ruth doesn't. She's always been distant, often working abroad for long stretches and communicating via social media. As Chris gets increasingly frustrated by Ruth's lack of response, police investigations into Maria's fall force him to answer some challenging questions. Why wasn't Maria on the race route when she fell? Was she running after someone, or running from them? A few uncomfortable certainties emerge: Maria and Mikey have been keeping things from Chris - and Ruth appears to have been lying to them all. But how many secrets can one family keep? When Chris realises nobody has had direct contact with his daughter in nine months, he faces every parent's nightmare - is Ruth missing, or worse? And with his wife in a coma and his daughter missing, suspicions fall on the family - and Chris himself. Having built a newspaper career investigating incidents and reporting the facts, Chris is well-versed in these kinds of situations. He knows what the outcome might be. But nothing could prepare him for what he finds when searching for traces of his daughter.

Download or read book Distributed Languaging Affective Dynamics and the Human Ecology Volume I written by Paul J. Thibault and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language plays a central role in human life. However, the term ‘language’ as defined in the language sciences of the 20th century and the traditions these have drawn on, have arguably, limited our thinking about what language is and does. The two inter-linked volumes of Thibault’s study articulate crucially important aspects of an emerging new perspective shift on language - the Distributed Language view – that is now receiving more and more attention internationally. Rejecting the classical view that the fundamental architecture of language can be localized as a number of inter-related levels of formal linguistic organization that function as the coded inputs and outputs to each other, the distributed language view argues that languaging behaviour is a bio-cultural organisation of process that is embodied, multimodal, and integrated across multiple space-time scales. Thibault argues that we need to think of human languaging as the distinctively human mode of our becoming and being selves in the extended human ecology and the kinds of experiencing that this makes possible. Paradoxically, this also means thinking about language in non-linguistic ways that break the grip of the conventional meta-languages for thinking about human languaging. Thibault’s book grounds languaging in process theory: languaging and the forms of experience it actualizes is always an event, not a thing that we ‘use’. In taking a distinctively interdisciplinary approach, the book relates dialogical theories of human sense-making to the distributed view of human cognition, to recent thinking about distributed language, to ecological psychology, and to languaging as inter-individual affective dynamics grounded in the subjective lives of selves. In taking this approach, the book considers the coordination of selves in social encounters, the emergent forms of self-reflexivity that characterise these encounters, and the implications for how we think of and live our human sociality, not as something that is mediated by over-arching codes and systems, but as emerging from the endogenous subjectivities of selves when they seek to coordinate with other selves and with the situations, artefacts, social institutions, and technologies that populate the extended human ecology. The two volumes aim to bring our understanding of human languaging closer to human embodiment, experience, and feeling while also showing how languaging enables humans to transcend local circumstances and thus to dialogue with cultural tradition. Volume 1 focuses on the shorter timescales of bodily dynamics in languaging activity. Volume II integrates the shorter timescales of body dynamics to the longer cultural-historical timescales of the linguistic and cultural norms and patterns to which bodily dynamics are integrated.
