Download or read book An Introduction to Complexity Pedagogy written by D. Emily Hicks and published by Stylus Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Complexity Pedagogy: Using Critical Theory, Critical Pedagogy and Complexity in Performance and Literature offers readers an introduction to the basic concepts of complexity science and how they might be applied in the teaching of composition, creative writing, performance, and literature. The book builds on Critical Theory (defined as Frankfurt Theory) and border theory, serving as a critique of neoliberalism in higher education and the teaching of critical thinking as a set of skills. Individual chapters are devoted to the following artists and writers: • the Choctaw people • author LeAnne Howe • Chicana lesbian author Gloria Anzaldua • performance artist Karen Finley • the performance duo Bob Flanagan and Sheree Rose The strength of this book is that it concentrates on the teaching of interrelated topics: borders (including the border between the able/disabled), complexity, mixed ancestry, ability/disability, texts, and performance, using the Mexico-U.S. border as the working example of a complexity system. The work of the five aforementioned artists and authors are used to focus on political resistance within the context of decolonialism, but there are also references to mixed ancestry populations (including Redbones) and disability issues. This complexity frame of reference allows the reader to see and understand both the artists’ narratives and viewpoints in the dynamic relations of shorter and longer time frames. No prior knowledge of complexity science is required and ample examples of complexity-related topics-- from coral reefs to zebra stripes--are provided. The focus is on students in state universities and community college transfer students, especially first generation students and students of color, with policy implications pointing to a critique of both elite small liberal arts colleges (SLACs) and research institutions. An Introduction to Complexity Pedagogy: Using Critical Theory, Critical Pedagogy and Complexity in Performance and Literature is the perfect text for assignment in a variety of classrooms, including courses in Complexity Science, Composition and Rhetoric, Performance Arts, Cultural Studies, Critical Theory, Ethnic Studies, and many others. Perfect for courses such as: Introduction to Creative Writing | Advanced Composition | Introduction to Border Art | Introduction to Complexity in the Arts and the Humanities | Introduction to Multicultural Literature | Introduction to Chicanx and Native American Literature | Introduction to Performance Art and Social Justice | Special Topics: Complexity, the Environment, Literature and the Arts | Special Topics: Disability Studies and Performance | Special Topics: Critical Family Histories, Mixed Ancestry and Pedagogy

Download or read book Finding Myself Lost in Louisiana written by Keagan LeJeune and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Finding Myself Lost in Louisiana, author Keagan LeJeune brilliantly weaves the unusual folklore, landscape, and history of Louisiana along with his own family lineage that begins in 1760 to trace the trajectory of people’s lives in the Bayou State. His account confronts the challenging environmental record evident in Louisiana’s landscapes. LeJeune also celebrates and memorializes traditions of some underrepresented communities in Louisiana, communities that are vanishing or have vanished—communities including the author’s own. Each section in the memoir is a journey to a fascinating place, but it’s also a search for LeJeune’s own sense of belonging. The book is an adventure and a pilgrimage across Louisiana to explore its future and to reckon with feelings of loss and anxiety accompanying climate disasters. LeJeune travels to Louisiana’s geographic center to learn what waits there. He chases the ghosts of Hot Wells, a shuttered healing resort, and he kneels at the tomb of folk saint Charlene Richard. With every adventure, every memory, he ends up much closer to home.

But when his boss is killed while in the company of a lovely young co-ed (who happens NOT to be his wife), Jack must rekindle some old skills and do what it is that he does best...solve a murder. Petty politics, stale grudges, and too many suspects paint the backdrop of life in North Texas as one man seeks the killer of Dallas County's favorite bigoted big shot. THE MORE I LIKE FLIES--When a close friend is jailed for murdering a local party girl (who has just beaten the rap for killing her own child), Deputy Marshal Jack Best must once again ride to the rescue. But unseen forces work against him, and if he's not careful, those closest to him may end up paying the ultimate price--with their lives. This fast-paced Jack Best Mystery takes the reader on a frenetic ride as the intrepid investigator tracks the killer of the most hated TV trial vixen in Dallas. UP JUMPED THE MONKEY--Jack and crew are down in South Central Texas where Kaye's working on a new movie and Jack's taking a break from crime in the big city. But when a local girl is found strangled in a church confessional, Jack is pulled into the fray once again. And if that's not enough, tragedy and death stalk Kaye's movie shoot as camera's roll near old San Antonio.
