Download or read book Rimbaud s Theatre of the Self written by James R. Lawler and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a new interpretation of a poet who has swayed the course of modern poetry--in France and elsewhere--James Lawler focuses on what he demonstrates is the crux of Rimbaud's imagination: the masks and adopted personas with which he regularly tested his identity and his art. A drama emerges in Lawler's urbane and resourceful reading. The thinking, feeling, acting Drunken Boat is an early theatrical projection of the poet's self; the Inventor, the Memorialist, and the Ing nu assume distinct roles in his later verse. It is, however, in Illuminations and Une Saison en enfer that Rimbaud enacts most powerfully his grandiose dreams. Here the poet becomes Self Creator, Self-Critic, Self-Ironist; he takes the parts of Floodmaker, Oriental Storyteller, Dreamer, Lover; and he recounts his descent into Hell in the guise of a Confessor. In delineating and exploring the poet's "theatre of the self" Lawler shows us the tragic lucidity and the dramatic coherence of Rimbaud's work.
Download or read book Local Literacies in Early Childhood written by Helen Victoria Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to current debates about the importance of early literacy and the different ways that literacy resources offer support to parents with young children. It sheds light on the impact of policy discourse and austerity measures on community resources designed to support children’s early literacy learning. Based on an ethnographic study carried out in a small town in the East Midlands, UK, the book shows how government policy is enacted in four local resources – Sure Start children’s centres, pre-schools, a public library and privately run parent and child early education classes. It reveals how inequalities and contradictions exist in different forms of community literacy provision which can explain some of the educational differences evident when children start school. With a particular focus on mothers, the book reveals how parents are supported differently depending on where they go and how they are viewed by the professionals they encounter. The book contributes to the current literature around literacy in early childhood and combines a unique case study with theoretical concepts to offer a new way of thinking about early intervention, parental engagement and school readiness. Local Literacies in Early Childhood will be highly relevant reading for researchers, academics and post-graduate students in the field of early childhood education and literacy education. It will also be of interest to policymakers, early childhood professionals, literacy advisors and librarians from different local, national and international contexts wishing to support parents and children more equitably so that learning opportunities can be maximised and educational inequalities tackled.

Book excerpt: Natalie's passion is dance, and she's looking forward to a summer of perfecting her technique at dance camp. Plus, she's just turned fifteen -- a momentous age that means she's now officially a grown-up. But while her mom doesn't seem to have got the memo, Kevin, her best friend Sasha's older brother, has. Caught up with the excitement of Kevin's attention, their relationship quickly becomes intimate and all-consuming. Over the summer, Natalie goes from being in love and lust with Kevin to realizing that he is not the guy she thought he was. The worst is that she may have lost her friendship with Sasha. When Natalie turns to her single mom for advice, she gets a shock. Her mom has fallen in love with a woman. Losing her virginity, dealing with her new understanding of her mother, and trying to re-negotiate her friendships, Natalie turns to dancing as the only certain thing in a life full of questions. When a new teacher introduces her to modern dance, she gains confidence and a new sense of herself. Girls will be drawn to Leap's frank discussion of first love, first times -- sex, drinking, break-ups -- and the struggle between doing what feels right and doing things to please others.

Book excerpt: Love Was Not Lost is a story which places the central fictional characters into turbulent historical events. It is told by a father to his daughter in an attempt to salvage their relationship. The narrative blends their present day interaction with their family’s history in an effort to understand who they have become. From Germany to Guatemala, America to Cuba the story of the Stern family and those whom they loved spans over a century. It is set in the historical backdrop of the birth and rise in power of the United Fruit Company and the CIA backed overthrow of the Guatemala government. The characters are caught up in a vast and international drama which begins with the birth of Guatemala’s banana and coffee industries and extends to the genocide of nearly 200,000 native people. Although the lives in each generation seem to be determined by choice and chance, the unseen hand of God is at work weaving them into a rich tapestry.
