Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about hope. Past trauma, an ubiquitous human experience need not be "prologue." The body tells its story to a compassionate "silent witness." Through the Therapeutic Touch (TT) process, embodied trauma, alchemized by bodily stored positive lived experiences, transmutes to the existential life layer. This reintegration process accounts for feelings of rejuvenation and wonder experienced by TT practitioners (TTrx) and healing partners (HPs) alike and their posttraumatic growth. Shared are the author's, students', and professionals' profound and sacred TT experiences of over twenty years. All are true.

Download or read book Queering Contemporary Asian American Art written by Laura Kina and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queering Contemporary Asian American Art takes Asian American differences as its point of departure, and brings together artists and scholars to challenge normative assumptions, essentialisms, and methodologies within Asian American art and visual culture. Taken together, these nine original artist interviews, cutting-edge visual artworks, and seven critical essays explore contemporary currents and experiences within Asian American art, including the multiple axes of race and identity, queer bodies and forms, kinship and affect, and digital identities and performances. Using the verb and critical lens of “queering” to capture transgressive cultural, social, and political engagement and practice, the contributors to this volume explore the connection points in Asian American experience and cultural production of surveillance states, decolonization and diaspora, transnational adoption, and transgender bodies and forms, as well as heteronormative respectability, the military, and war. The interdisciplinary and theoretically informed frameworks in the volume engage readers to understand global and historical processes through contemporary Asian American artistic production.

Download or read book Lady Death written by Lyudmila Pavlichenko and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memoir of Lyudmila Pavlichenko, the Russian woman who was WWII’s most accomplished sniper—and a friend of Eleanor Roosevelt. In June 1941, when Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, Lyudmila Pavlichenko left her university studies, ignored the offer of a position as a nurse, and became one of Soviet Russia’s two thousand female snipers. Less than a year later, she had 309 recorded kills, including 29 enemy sniper kills. By the time she was withdrawn from active duty due to injury, she was regarded as a key heroic figure for the war effort. To continue serving the war effort, Pavlichenko spoke at rallies in Canada and the United States. She toured the White House with FDR, and the folk singer Woody Guthrie wrote a song, “Miss Pavlichenko,” about her exploits. An advocate for women’s rights, she befriended Eleanor Roosevelt and toured England to raise money for the Red Army. Never returning to combat, Pavlichenko trained other snipers. After the war, she finished her education at Kiev University and began a career as a historian. Today, she remains a revered hero in Russia, where the 2015 film, Battle for Sevastopol, was made about her life.
Download or read book The T Stems in Soqotri written by Maria Bulakh and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-07-18 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the results of a field research on the verbal system of Soqotri, a little-studied language spoken on the island of Soqotra (Arabian Sea) and belonging to the Modern South Arabian branch of Semitic. The investigation focuses on the so-called T-stems (marked by the infix -t-), mostly employed as derivational means of detransitivisation. In this book you will find comprehensive descriptions of the synchronic morphology and semantics of the T-stems, as well as an inquiry into their diachronic background. Simultaneously, the study is a contribution to the general typology of detransitivising derivation in the languages of the world.
