Download or read book Authentic Writing written by Jeffrey Rice and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In typical academic circles, texts must be critiqued, mined for the obfuscated meanings they hide, and shown to reveal larger, broader meanings than what are initially evident. To engage in this type of writing is to perform an authentic version of scholarship. But what if a scholar chooses instead to write without critique? What if they write about travelling, their children, food, grocery shopping, frozen garlic bread, sandwiches, condiments, falafel, yoga, and moments that normally wouldn’t be considered scholarly? Can the writing still be scholarly? Can scholarly writing be authentic if its topics comprise the everyday? In Authentic Writing, Jeff Rice uses this question to trace a position regarding critique, the role of the scholar, the role of the personal in scholarship, the banal as subject matter, and the idea of authenticity. He explores authenticity as a writing issue, a rhetorical issue, a consumption issue, a culture issue, and an ideological issue. Rather than arguing for a more authentic state or practice, Rice examines the rhetorical features of authenticity in order to expand the focus of scholarship.

Download or read book Juicy Crones written by Jay Courtney and published by Bradt Travel Guides. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The average woman will live 30 years after menopause. You can have lots of fun in that time. This is our third act, the time that many women learn to ROAR! I’m now marinating in all the things I love most and writing about them.’ After retiring from a distinguished career in education and health, Jay Courtney found life rather beige. ‘I realised that I didn’t know how to do this part of my life’ she says. ‘There was no route map to follow, only a looming ‘Exit’ sign, so I went on a quest to find a colour that suited me.’ Courtney’s métier transpired to blend travel and inspirational writing, combined with a talent for finding others whose experiences resonate. In Juicy Crones she fêtes the lives of women embracing their ‘third act’ with gusto. Written by a Telegraph travel-writing competition winner and former Women’s Hour guest, Juicy Crones is a joyous celebration of post-menopausal women life travellers. ‘Crones were revered as wise women, warriors, speakers of uncomfortable truths, carrying with them the wisdom of life’ says Courtney. ‘As for the ‘juicy’ part, this is me thumbing my nose at language often used of older women as ‘dried-up’, wrinkled, barren. Many older women I have met have been the very opposite: beautiful, vibrant, outrageously funny, full of self-knowledge, free-spirited. There is no better group to be part of. What we lack in collagen we make up for in wisdom!’ Courtney’s debut is a unique title with an infectious enthusiasm for living life to the full, that blends adventure with feminism, women’s health with well-being, and autobiography with self-help. This is a book for the UK’s 12 million ‘crones’ and anyone who shares their life, for women adventurers and for fans of Raynor Winn’s The Salt Path, Caitlin Moran’s More than a Woman and Helen Lewis’ Difficult Women. And the first subtitle? ‘Free for the Strangest Adventure’ is a quotation from Virginia Woolf in To the Lighthouse. ‘For me it represents the state of mind that enables a Crone to be juicy!’ says Courtney. ‘This is when the magic happens.’
Download or read book Make a Living Writing written by Richard Fire and published by C. y C. Editions. This book was released on 2024-01-03 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was a child, when I told my parents that I wanted to be a writer, they told me that it was very difficult, as difficult as being a soccer player (I don't deny it); and that the best thing would be to have a job, for example (recurrent example) as a teacher, and, in addition, to write in my free time. How? Is it impossible to live only by writing? LIE. For a while I believed it, until they started to offer me money for my writings and I began to meet other people who, while still students, had also found ways to obtain very juicy incomes from writing. It is possible to make a living from writing, experience has taught me that and here I share how. So that all those who, like me when I was a kid, want to do it, can learn from my experience.You don't need to have a boring job that you hate. If you are really interested in the art of arranging spaces and letters, there are millions of people willing to take advantage of your talent: it has a huge value in the market.If you notice, there are so many subjects that must be written down: mails, formal requests, announcements, news, biographies, manuals, instructions, catalogs... Even a good restaurant menu must include a few sentences about each dish and drink. On the other hand, there are very few people who know how to write clearly, making themselves understood, economizing space and making an impact. There is an opportunity for writers who take their profession seriously and make the most of their own creativity.It is difficult because we have been educated to obey, to write or do what we are told, and, as we see in this book, if you want to make a living from writing you should not limit yourself to writing for others.In this book I show you the way to polish your lines until they come in like the sea breeze: giving life. I write, finally, the book that I would like to have read.It is not the first book that exists on this subject, so I will spare you content that you can find by searching Google and Amazon. Here I show you what has helped me, my trajectory.I warn sailors: making a living from writing requires discipline and passion. Discipline, self-discipline in case you are independent, can be improved. Not passion, if you don't like writing, if you don't do it out of the need to express yourself and to create, it is very difficult for you to dedicate enough hours to it to make it a source of income powerful enough to give you the life you want. I'm not going to dwell too much on this, regarding self-discipline, there are mountains of books on habits and routines that can help you. In short: you need to write practically every day (at least every week), at least for a few years (give yourself five years as an outlook in which, with a lot of effort, you can get to write better than most). If you dream of being known for your literary work (even if you use pseudonyms, you can always reveal your identity to whomever you wish), or make a living from helping to solve problems (if your preferred genre is essays), this book is for you.You are probably here because you have lacked something to be able to dedicate yourself 100% to words, or, perhaps, you already do, but you want to improve. Come on!

Download or read book Queering Classrooms written by Erin A. Mikulec and published by IAP. This book was released on 2017 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher Education programs have largely ignored the needs of LGBTIQ learners in their preparation of pre‐service teachers. At best in most of such programs, their needs are addressed in a single chapter in a book or as the topic of discussion in a single class discussion. However, is this minimal discussion enough? What kind of impact does this approach have on future teachers and their future learners? This book engages the reader in a dialogue about why teacher education must address LGBTIQ issues more openly and why teacher education programs should revise their curriculum to more fully integrate the needs of LGBTIQ learners throughout their curriculum, rather than treat such issues as a single, isolated topic in an insignificant manner. Through personal narratives, research, and conceptual chapters, this volume also examines the different ways in which queer youth are present or invisible in schools, the struggles they face, and how teachers can be better prepared to reach them as they should any student, and to make them more visible. The authors of this volume provide insight into the needs of future teachers with the aim of bringing about change in how teacher education programs address LGBTIQ needs to better equip those entering the field of teaching.

Download or read book Non native English speaking Engineers Writing at the Workplace written by Juan Du and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on 55 semi-structured in-depth interviews, this book investigates 15 high-tech engineering co-op professionals’ writing experience in the workplace. It shows how the digital age has had a marked impact on the engineers’ methods of communication at work, and how on-the -job writing has affected engineers’ technical competence, shaped their professional identities, challenged their views on Chinese and English writing, and hindered their success in the workplace. The book identifies three aspects of writing practice: engineers’ linguistic and literacy challenges, the reasons behind these challenges, and coping strategies, which suggest that engineers are underprepared and lack necessary support in the workplace. Lastly, the study shows that engineers need to engage in technical literacy through on-the-job writing so that they can fully deal with workplace discourse and socialize with diverse professional groups. Since the sample group interviewed in this book is engineers who studied at universities in the United States and have a foot in the world of school and work as well as knowledge of both Eastern and Western cultures, the book appeals to teachers, students, engineers and scientists who are interested in scientific and technological writing. It is also valuable for educators who prepare scientists, engineers, and technical communicators for professional roles, as well as for communication practitioners who work with engineers. /div
Download or read book Uncreative Writing written by Kenneth Goldsmith and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can techniques traditionally thought to be outside the scope of literature, including word processing, databasing, identity ciphering, and intensive programming, inspire the reinvention of writing? The Internet and the digital environment present writers with new challenges and opportunities to reconceive creativity, authorship, and their relationship to language. Confronted with an unprecedented amount of texts and language, writers have the opportunity to move beyond the creation of new texts and manage, parse, appropriate, and reconstruct those that already exist. In addition to explaining his concept of uncreative writing, which is also the name of his popular course at the University of Pennsylvania, Goldsmith reads the work of writers who have taken up this challenge. Examining a wide range of texts and techniques, including the use of Google searches to create poetry, the appropriation of courtroom testimony, and the possibility of robo-poetics, Goldsmith joins this recent work to practices that date back to the early twentieth century. Writers and artists such as Walter Benjamin, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, and Andy Warhol embodied an ethos in which the construction or conception of a text was just as important as the resultant text itself. By extending this tradition into the digital realm, uncreative writing offers new ways of thinking about identity and the making of meaning.
