Download or read book The Fate of Difficulty in the Poetry of Our Time written by Nicholas Nace and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fate of Difficulty in the Poetry of Our Time offers original readings of poems composed in this century—poems that are challenging to follow, challenging to understand, challenging to discuss, and challenging to enjoy. Difficult poetry of the past relied on allusion, syntactic complexity, free association, and strange juxtapositions. The new poetry breaks with the old in its stunning variety; its questioning of inherited values, labels, and narratives; its multilingualism; its origin in and production of unnamed affects; and its coherence around critical and social theorists as much as other poets. The essays in this volume include poets writing on the works of a younger generation (Lyn Hejinian on Paolo Javier, Bob Perelman on Rachel Zolf, Roberto Tejada on Rosa Alcalá), influential writers addressing the work of peers (Ben Lerner on Maggie Nelson, Michael W. Clune on Aaron Kunin), critics making imaginative leaps to encompass challenging work (Brian M. Reed on Sherwin Bitsui, Siobhan Philips on Juliana Spahr), and younger scholars coming to terms with poets who continue to govern new poetic experimentation (Joseph Jeon on Myung Mi Kim, Lytle Shaw on Lisa Robertson). In pairings that are both intuitive (Marjorie Perloff on Craig Dworkin) and unexpected (Langdon Hammer on Srikanth Reddy), The Fate of Difficulty in the Poetry of Our Time illuminates the myriad pathways and strategies for exploring difficult poetry of the present.
Download or read book 100 Years of Modern Territorial Autonomy Autonomy around the World written by Thomas Benedikter and published by LIT Verlag. This book was released on 2023-02-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unclouded look at territorial autonomy back and forward, 100 years after the establishment of the first "modern" territorial autonomy in a democratic state: the Åland Islands in Finland in 1921/22. Where has autonomy been successful to ensure minority protection and self-government, where has it failed, where is it in crisis, where is it aspired to? In which cases would autonomy settle open conflicts between states and regional communities, and in which cases of national emancipation is autonomy no longer sufficient? In 2021, after 100 years of experience with territorial autonomy in all parts of the world, this concept for solving sub-state conflicts is still underestimated. Background information and assessments on the development to date and on the perspectives for the application of territorial autonomy in various regions worldwide by the author of "The World's Modern Autonomy Systems", conversations with ten outstanding personalities from politics and science in these regions and a foreword by the South Tyrolean politician and scientist Oskar Peterlini, former senator in Rome. Thomas Benedikter is an economist and political scientist, publicist, working for South Tyrol's Center for Political Studies and Civic Education POLITiS.

Download or read book Health and Quality of Life written by Gerhard Aumüller and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2002 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How could one define health and disease? On what presuppositions, and ought we look for such definitions? Does quality of life inherit a subjective or objective evaluation? Are health and quality of life culture dependent concepts? Under the conditions of technologically advanced medicine and the common tendency towards a hedonistic lifestyle such questions come into focus. Hence, one question is of special relevance: which role does health play in our quality of life? The contributions of this interdisciplinary volume aim at the clarification of the various concepts in use. International scholars and scientists outline the framework for a more comprehensive and demanding concept of health and quality of life including philosophical and cultural aspects as well as medical and psychological dimensions.
Download or read book Reflexive Narrative written by Christopher Johns and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflexive Narrative: Self-Inquiry Toward Self-Realization and Its Performance is latest addition to the Qualitative Research Methods series. Author Christopher Johns describes this unique method and its developmental approach to research to enable researchers’ self-realization however that might be expressed. This method focuses on systematizing the reflective process and providing structure while still remaining flexible to the needs of individual researchers and projects. Researchers collect data through reflections on everyday experiences and then selectively use the evidence of researcher’s insights. The text starts out with a brief introduction to narrative research and reflexivity, situating the method within the larger context of organizational practices. The next chapters introduce the steps for reflexive narrative research and walk readers through the movements of the reflexive narrative process, writing, reflection, dialogue, guidance, weaving, and audiencing. Additional coverage of ethics and research examples provide a foundation for application of the method to individual research. A chapter on structuring the method for a doctoral thesis furthers the applied nature of this method. Three extracts from studies provide research examples across several social science disciplines, including nursing and education. For students and researchers alike looking for new approaches to reflexive methods and looking to expand their ideas about self-research in a qualitative context, Reflexive Narrative provides a starting place for their own examination of self in the context of research.
Download or read book Control Balance written by Charles R Tittle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major contribution to the field of crime/deviance, this volume by noted criminologist Charles R. Tittle puts forth an integrated theory of deviance—control balance. Its central premise is that the total amount of control people are subjected to, relative to the control they can exercise, will affect the probability and type of their deviant behavior. In developing control balance, Tittle critically reviews other general theories such as anomie, Marxian conflict, social control, differential association/social learning, labelling, and routine activities and offers reasons why those theories are insufficient. Using real-world examples to illustrate his argument, he contends that deviance results from the convergence of four variables, each of which represents an interactive nexus of several inputs, including most prominently a control imbalance. The variables are predisposition, motivation, opportunity, and constraint. Control balance theory also explains six basic types of deviance, ranging from predation, defiance, and submissiveness on one end of a control ratio continuum to exploitation, plunder, and decadence on the other. Tittle conceives of control balance as a continuation, or temporary culmination, of the collective efforts of crime/deviance scholars who have gone before, presenting it as a vehicle for trying to achieve a fully adequate general theory of deviance.

Download or read book From Student to Community Leader A Guide for Autonomy Supportive Leadership Development written by Satoko Watkins and published by Candlin & Mynard. This book was released on 2023-03-27 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a guide for autonomy-supportive leadership training, which is not limited to language learning but can be applied to any field where learners become empowered leaders. The principles and activities featured in this book aim to foster and sustain student-led learning communities that prioritize learners’ well-being, ensure everyone's voice is heard, and build a positive emotional climate conducive to learning. The authors believe that autonomy-supportive leadership training sets a positive cycle in motion, empowering student leaders in the present and continuing to inspire future generations of learners. Who is this book for? The book aims at anyone striving to facilitate students’ leadership development in an autonomy-supportive manner, as well as possibly the students themselves. Being a student facilitator is not based on where you work, whom you work with, or what learning students are engaged in. Instead, a student facilitator (who can be an educator or a student) empowers learners to be leaders by promoting autonomy-supportive principles and practices. A student facilitator might be a teacher, advisor, administrator, or student hoping to cultivate student leadership. This might be in the context of interest-based learning communities, circles, sports teams or volunteer groups. Or you might be supporting student workers and event organizers. Whichever kinds of student groups you work with, the concepts in this book, such as communities of practice, basic psychological needs, and leadership styles, have been widely applied in many fields and are just as applicable to student groups. Why should you read this book? As the authors write in the introduction, “autonomy-supportive leadership support does not simply build successful language learners, but rather future leaders who can positively contribute to any field they enter.” We invite you to set a chain reaction in motion to create a positive learning climate that prioritizes individuals' well-being and cultivates their potential for making positive contributions to the world.
