Download or read book Complaint written by Sara Ahmed and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Complaint! Sara Ahmed examines what we can learn about power from those who complain about abuses of power. Drawing on oral and written testimonies from academics and students who have made complaints about harassment, bullying, and unequal working conditions at universities, Ahmed explores the gap between what is supposed to happen when complaints are made and what actually happens. To make complaints within institutions is to learn how they work and for whom they work: complaint as feminist pedagogy. Ahmed explores how complaints are made behind closed doors and how doors are often closed on those who complain. To open these doors---to get complaints through, keep them going, or keep them alive---Ahmed emphasizes, requires forming new kinds of collectives. This book offers a systematic analysis of the methods used to stop complaints and a powerful and poetic meditation on what complaints can be used to do. Following a long lineage of Black feminist and feminist of color critiques of the university, Ahmed delivers a timely consideration of how institutional change becomes possible and why it is necessary.

Book Fresh Complaint

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jeffrey Eugenides
  • Publisher : Knopf Canada
  • Release : 2017-10-03
  • ISBN : 030740191X
  • Pages : 263 pages

Download or read book Fresh Complaint written by Jeffrey Eugenides and published by Knopf Canada. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proudly presenting the widely anticipated new work of fiction from the multi-award winning bestselling author of Middlesex--a #1 major bestseller in Canada--and The Marriage Plot--also an acclaimed national bestseller--and the beloved The Virgin Suicides. Featuring unseen stories from one of the most eclectic, dynamic fiction writers working today, Fresh Complaint brings together works both new and previously published--including the crème de la crème of Eugenides's beloved New Yorker stories, never before collected between two covers. Jeffrey Eugenides's bestselling novels have shown that he is an astute observer of the crises of adolescence, sexual identity, self-discovery, family love and what it means to be an American in our times. The stories in Fresh Complaint continue that tradition. Ranging from the reproductive antics of "Baster" to the wry, moving account of a young traveller's search for enlightenment in "Air Mail" (selected by Annie Proulx for The Best American Short Stories 1997), this collection presents characters in the midst of personal and national crises. We meet a failed poet who, envious of other people's wealth during the real-estate bubble, becomes an embezzler; a clavichordist whose dreams of art collapse under the obligations of marriage and fatherhood; and, in "Bronze," a sexually confused college freshman whose encounter with a stranger on a train leads to a revelation about his past and his future. Narratively compelling, beautifully written and packed with a density of ideas that belie their fluid grace, Fresh Complaint proves Eugenides to be a master of the short form as well as the long. Showcasing stories from as far back as the 1980s and as recently as 2017, Fresh Complaint is the career-spanning collection from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author.

Download or read book The Complaint written by Tom Breen and published by . This book was released on 2024-01-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York attorney Brian Bradford should have listened to the advice of both his wife and a cherished colleague at the law firm. They warned him not to take the case. The lawsuit involved a new area of law in which he had little litigation experience. He nonetheless filed the Complaint. The target Defendant was ZeiiMed, the largest managed health care company in the world, with unlimited resources. His clients were doctors seeking a multi-million dollar recovery. The damages seemed enormous and the fees irresistibly high. He was truly in over his head. Little did Brian realize that ZeiiMed was an unforgiving, vengeful and diabolical opponent that didn't merely defeat its adversaries, it conquered them. After Brian fortuitously discovered corporate documentation that disclosed the illegal trade practices of ZeiiMed, the fight for survival began. He quickly realized he didn't have a chance of succeeding in Court without the able assistance of several bright and accomplished women, all of whom were a significant presence in his life. Brian decides to fight back in a manner as ruthless as the forces unleashed by ZeiiMed. The mayhem that results has irreversible consequences to many on both sides of the battle lines. His world will never be the same again. ZeiiMed will never relent in its pursuit of Brian and the women he loves. Tom Breen published two additional Brian Bradford novels following The Complaint: The Device Trial and The Drug Tampering Trial.

Book Complaint

    Book Details:
  • Author : Avital Ronell
  • Publisher : University of Illinois Press
  • Release : 2018-04-02
  • ISBN : 0252050231
  • Pages : 384 pages

Download or read book Complaint written by Avital Ronell and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It is not, nor it cannot come to good. But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.” Thus spoke Hamlet, one of the great kvetchers of literature. Every day, gripers challenge our patience and compassion. Yet Pollyannas rile us up with their grotesque contentment and unfathomable rejection of protest. Avital Ronell considers how literature and philosophy treat bellyachers, wailers, and grumps—and the complaints they lavish on the rest of us. Combining her trademark jazzy panache with a fearless range of readings, Ronell opens a dialogue with readers that discusses thinkers with whom she has directly engaged. Beginning with Hamlet, and with a candid awareness of her own experiences, Ronell proceeds to show how complaining is aggravated, distracted, stifled, and transformed. She moves on to the exemplary complaints of Friedrich Nietzsche, Hannah Arendt, and Barbara Johnson and examines the complaint-riven history of deconstruction. Infused with the author’s trademark wit, Complaint takes friends, colleagues, and all of us on a courageous philosophical journey.
