Download or read book Gas Station written by Joseph Torra and published by . This book was released on 1999-09-09 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Jimi Hendrix and Vietnam rumble on in the background, an Italian-American teenage boy grows up working in his dad's gas station in Massachusetts. In a world full of rear end fluid, floor jacks and leaky gaskets, the narrator is awkward with his father and not too hot at mounting snow tires or dismantling engines. Poetic, poignant, and beautifully observed -- the grease and grime of the gas station, the rhythms of work and talk, are detailed with such precision that the locality becomes universal -- Joseph Torra has written an extraordinary and superb coming-of-age novel in the great American blue-collar tradition, and one which has echoes of another working-class son of Massachusetts, Jack Kerouac.

Download or read book Catalan Independence and the Crisis of Sovereignty written by Óscar García Agustín and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the conflict between the Catalan project to become independent and the Spanish state’s opposition to any attempt of secessionism. The volume addresses some of the key political and academic issues of contemporary European societies: nationalism, separatism and sovereignty. The banned referendum in Catalonia in October 2017 unveiled the existence of multiple crises, from territorial to economic and political. Indeed, the Catalan issue is about the crisis of sovereignty: who holds legitimacy to make decisions, and who is in power legally and politically? The book is structured according to three themes: sovereignty and its people, where the realignment to independence, populism and the definition of the demos are discussed; collective identities and actions, to account for the shaping of ‘us’, the importance of collective memory and the cross-alliances forged during the referendum; and internationalization, focusing on Europeanisation, international media and comparative constitutional perspectives.

Download or read book Empathy and Performance written by Laura V. Sández and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-15 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empathy and Performance advances a study of empathy and enactments of power by examining works from author-actors whose performances explore the boundaries between two kinship positions. Author Laura V. Sández studies the dramatized dilemma of cultural understanding in “Our America,” a notion that refers first to a collective political identity marking a common belonging in the Spanish-speaking America but also alludes to current struggles in the contemporary US. This book sees empathy as an affective response grounded in subjectivity and kinship. Sández argues that to conceptualize empathy one needs to understand how subjects organize, classify, and limit themselves, not only as agents, but also as interpreters. What sort of affiliations do these performances promote? How do they break, reinforce, or queer societal expectations about the Latinx body, the white body, or simply, the staged body? To survey different answers to these queries, Sández studies Indigurrito (Nao Bustamante); Dominicanish (Josefina Báez); ¡Bienvenidos Blancos! or Welcome White People! (Alex Torra); the apology delivered by the group Veterans Stand with Standing Rock during protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline; and Kukuli Velarde’s body of work, from We, the Colonized Ones to A Mi Vida. In these artistic enactments, which range from 1992 to 2021, the historical construct of boundaries and bodies becomes evident. Following recent work on empathy by Lanzoni, Maibom, Calloway-Thomas, Bloom, Hogan, and Matravers, among others, Sández examines in-group/out-group divisions, the establishment of identity categories through performance, and the exploration of subaltern identities.
Download or read book Spirit of the Dragon written by Erynn Lehtonen and published by White Raven Chronicles. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every dream requires sacrifice. Once a land blessed by dragons and gods, Seiryuu now relies on elite warriors capable of ripping seismic energy from the earth and shaping infernos for protection against a demonic infestation. Genshu Masanori, an ingenious engineer at only seventeen, could revolutionize the art of war—if his pacifist clan allowed him to train as a warrior. When Masanori and his twin brother, Hidekazu, witness a kidnapping at the Midsummer festival, Masanori has a chance to prove himself. But the sorcerer responsible defies nature and twists the elements into an unpredictable, terrible power. If Hidekazu—the scion of the Genshu clan, a master over four elements—can’t touch the sorcerer, how could Masanori? After the twins’ attempt to rescue a victim goes horribly wrong, Hidekazu and Masanori sign their lives away to the prestigious Tsukiko Academy. In doing so, they break their vows of filial piety, challenge their sibling bond, and ignore the future empress’ warnings about the headmaster and the dark secrets harboured within the school grounds… The sorcerer drags them into an ancient rivalry between gods. Yumihari teeters on the brink of war, and if the twins do nothing, Seiryuu won’t be in the middle—they will be the target. For fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Ursula K. LeGuin’s Earthsea Cycle, the world of Yumihari is fraught with monsters, mythology, and epic quests. BUY NOW and jump into the adventure today!

Three teenagers stand between a generation of peace and the creatures of myth seeking retribution for a dark past… In the shadow of the fallen Warlock Empire, twins Hidekazu and Masanori thrive on tales of their ancestors’ wyvern-slaying, of the wars preceding Seiryuu’s first era of peace in over a thousand years. But as the Dragon Goddess’ influence wanes, her greatest enemies return. The sorcerer who kidnaps women for a sinister purpose is only the first of many to arrive. The warrior arts previously forbidden to Hidekazu and Masanori won’t be enough to stop the wyverns, dragons, and mythical spirits rising in search of retribution. Nor will working with the future empress, their adopted sister, who steers Seiryuu's future from within the palace—and from the head of the battlefield. Their enemies seek justice not only for the crimes of the Goddess and the Warlock Empire, but also for the sins of Hidekazu and Masanori’s very own clan. Secrets run in their blood. Facing the tide of war means overcoming the Warlock Empire’s grim history… and the darkness within themselves. Jump into the world of Yumihari, a land filled with spirits, dragons, monsters, and stunning characters wielding elemental magic to save their homeland.
