Book Global Shifts in Qualitative Inquiry

Download or read book Global Shifts in Qualitative Inquiry written by Norman K. Denzin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-30 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positioned within and against our changing pandemic conditions, Global Shifts in Qualitative Inquiry highlights multidirectional pathways between and across moments, formations, and interpretive communities within qualitative research. Contributors focus on a range of prevailing and emerging approaches that are held together by a commitment to a critical, performative, social justice inquiry—to method as praxis, method as a tool for social change, method to effect change in the world by creating texts that move persons to action, that move from personal troubles to public institutions. These include art as research, story as research, collage as method, performance, posthumanism, Indigenous methods, and the use of absurdity to counter oppression. Global Shifts in Qualitative Inquiry will resonate with faculty and students alike who are interested in forging new directions for qualitative inquiry in our ever-evolving pandemic times.

  • Author : Stephen Gibson
  • Publisher : University of Arkansas Press
  • Release : 2011-02-01
  • ISBN : 155728959X
  • Pages : 74 pages

Download or read book Paradise written by Stephen Gibson and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Paradise, Stephen Gibson's fourth poetry collection, we are taken on a journey through history and myth, wars past and present, public discoveries and private loss. As the reader confronts past horrors and present truths as well as the speaker's personal ones (an abused mother, a shellshocked father), it becomes apparent that the paradise sought-not in the hereafter but in the here and now-lies just beyond reach. It all ends, suggest these verses, with the understanding that behind everything we find nothing more divine than the human.

Book W B  Yeats  Ezra Pound  and the Poetry of Paradise

Download or read book W B Yeats Ezra Pound and the Poetry of Paradise written by Sean Pryor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emphasizing the interplay of aesthetic forms and religious modes, Sean Pryor's ambitious study takes up the endlessly reiterated longing for paradise that features throughout the works of W. B. Yeats and Ezra Pound. Yeats and Pound define poetry in terms of paradise and paradise in terms of poetry, Pryor suggests, and these complex interconnections fundamentally shape the development of their art. Even as he maps the shared influences and intellectual interests of Yeats and Pound, and highlights those moments when their poetic theories converge, Pryor's discussion of their poems' profound formal and conceptual differences uncovers the distinctive ways each writer imagines the divine, the good, the beautiful, or the satisfaction of desire. Throughout his study, Pryor argues that Yeats and Pound reconceive the quest for paradise as a quest for a new kind of poetry, a journey that Pryor traces by analysing unpublished manuscript drafts and newly published drafts that have received little attention. For Yeats and Pound, the journey towards a paradisal poetic becomes a never-ending quest, at once self-defeating and self-fulfilling - a formulation that has implications not only for the work of these two poets but for the study of modernist literature.

Book THE GATES OF PARADISE

    Book Details:
  • Author : William Blake
  • Publisher : Musaicum Books
  • Release : 2017-12-06
  • ISBN : 802723672X
  • Pages : 45 pages

Download or read book THE GATES OF PARADISE written by William Blake and published by Musaicum Books. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in a limited run in 1793 Blake later changed the title to For the Sexes: The Gates of Paradise, and added several more drawings as well as a preface and concluding verse, publishing this version in 1818.The seventeen emblematic drawings and their commentaries depict the life of man from birth to death: passage through the four elements (water, earth, wind and fire), hatching as a child from the "mundane shell," encountering women ("What are these! Alas! the Female Martyr, Is She also the Divine Image?"), reaching for the moon of love ("I want, I want"), falling into Time's Ocean. William Blake (1757 – 1827) was a British poet, painter, visionary mystic, and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books. Blake proclaimed the supremacy of the imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th-century. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.

Book Running to Paradise

Download or read book Running to Paradise written by Macha Louis Rosenthal and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Running to Paradise, M.L. Rosenthal, hailed by the Times Literary Supplement as "one of the most important critics of twentieth-century poetry," leads us through the lyric poetry and poetic drama of our century's greatest poet in English. His readings shed new, vivid light on Yeats's daring uses of tradition, his love poetry, and the way he faced the often tragic realities of revolution and civil war. Running to Paradise describes Yeats's whole effort--sometimes leavened by wild humor--to convey, with high poetic integrity, his passionate sense of his own life and of his chaotic era. Himself a noted poet, Rosenthal stresses Yeats's artistry and psychological candor. The book ranges from his early exquisite lyrical poems and folklore-rooted plays, through the tougher-minded, more confessional mature work (including the sublime achievement of The Tower), and then to the sometimes "mad" yet often brilliant tragic or comic writing of his last years. Quoting extensively from Yeats, Rosenthal charts the gathering force with which the poet confronted his major life-issues: his art's demands, his persistent but hopeless love for one woman, the complexities of marriage to another woman at age 52, and his distress during Ireland's "Troubles." Yeats's deep absorption in female sensibility, in the cycles of history and human thought, and in supernaturalism and "the dead" comes strongly into play as well.

Book Unpremeditated Verse

Download or read book Unpremeditated Verse written by Wayne Shumaker and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this study is on the working of Milton's sensibilities and the reader’s response to the materials of the poem. Professor Shumaker demonstrates the special resonance Milton gave to Paradise Lost through his development of its mythic quality and through the emotive patterns in the poem. Shumaker describes the effect on the reader’s subconscious responses of Milton’s choice of visual and auditory images. Underlying the treatment is an assumption that during the act of composition the poet’s mind is often stirred to its depths and registers with astonishing fidelity what is happening on all the levels of his psyche, conscious and unconscious. Originally published in 1967.

Download or read book Imagining Paradise written by Barry Gifford and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A world of poems as populous and diverse as it is ephemeral and evanescent, born of the world and of books and art in equal measure, yielding granite truths and feather truths of people's roller-coaster lives. The poet looks back, facing life and death and everything in between with equanimity, holding a steady hand to the quivering breast wherever there is breath. Published in The New Yorker, La Nouvelle Revue Française, and in nearly a hundred magazines and poetry journals from Los Angeles to Tokyo, from Lawrence, Kansas to Rome, Madrid, Paris, London, Beijing, and Bucharest, poems by Barry Gifford have been describing and changing our world for nearly half a century. Here in one volume for the first time is the poet's own choices from his nine previous collections, as well as a rich selection of new poems. Imagining Paradise sums up the tremendous achievement of an underground poet who lasted.
