Download or read book Writing as a Way of Staying Human in a Time that Isn t written by Nate Mickelson and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human element of our work has never been more important. As Robert Yagelski explains in Writing as a Way of Being (2011), the ideological and social pressures of our institutions put us under increasing pressure to sacrifice our humanity in the interest of efficiency. These problems only grow when we artificially separate self/world and mind/body in our teaching and everyday experiences. Following Yagelski and others, Writing as a Way of Staying Human in a Time that Isn't proposes that intentional acts of writing can awaken us to our interconnectedness and to ways in which we—as individuals and in writing communities—might address the social and environmental challenges of our present and future world. Featuring essays drawn from a range of contexts, including college composition and developmental reading and writing, professional and legal writing, middle school English, dissertation projects, academic conferences, and an online writing group, the collection outlines three ways writing can help us stay human: caring for ourselves and others; honoring the times and spaces of writing; and promoting justice. Each essay describes specific strategies for using writing as a means for staying human in inhuman times. The authors integrate personal stories, descriptions of classroom assignments and activities, and current research in writing studies. Their work shows that writing can contribute to personal, social, and political transformation by nurturing vulnerability, compassion, and empathy among students and instructors alike.

This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Shattuck leaves us not only with a deepened appreciation of Proust's great work but of all great literature as well."—Richard Bernstein, New York Times For any reader who has been humbled by the language, the density, or the sheer weight of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, Roger Shattuck is a godsend. Winner of the National Book Award for Marcel Proust, a sweeping examination of Proust's life and works, Shattuck now offers a useful and eminently readable guidebook to Proust's epic masterpiece, and a contemplation of memory and consciousness throughout great literature. Here, Shattuck laments Proust's defenselessness against zealous editors, praises some translations, and presents Proust as a novelist whose philosophical gifts were matched only by his irrepressible comic sense. Proust's Way, the culmination of a lifetime of scholarship, will serve as the next generation's guide to one of the world's finest writers of fiction.

Download or read book Winged Time One Way written by D.E. Mackay and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story is about what would happen if all of a sudden, without any warning , there was no electricity, no connection to technology. Back in 1999, technology was quickly becoming so necessary to everyones existence. Not many people had cash in their purses and grew their own food. Not in the city. There are three main characters. Jack, a self-made man who grew up in a humble home but was a happy child. How he came to live on his cattle property with his wife and two daughters. How he survived the world without technology. Jade, a middle-aged woman whose three children had grown up and left their city home to seek their own way in life. How her life had become so dismal and how she changed and grew strong when she discovered that she didnt need to spend huge amounts of money on her home anymore now that the children had left and how she ensured that they had a safe place to come home to. She began preparing. Gillian and Adam. A young family with a small son. How they grew to love their bush retreat and prepare for what they knew would eventually change their world forever more. This story is purely fiction and is not intended to scare people into thinking that this will happen. It is merely my story and I hope readers enjoy it. I could not publish this book without technology. I was lucky to grow up in a time where we played outside with our friends until we were called home for tea. I am mindful that my grandchildren and most children cannot do this in the city today. Since I wrote my book, I have witnessed their births, and it is worrying that they must spend so much time indoors, necessary for them to access technology so that they can do their studies and be entertained. Necessary because the sun causes so much damage to their young skin. Technology is necessary and important, and without it, most of us cannot survive today. It does have great benefits, e.g., advances in medical science, communications with loved ones far away. Necessary for most of us to earn a living by using computers and driving vehicles. The younger generation has accepted this new way of life. I was totally amazed when I took my youngest grandson, then three, to visit an elderly neighbour who had his own vegetable garden and how amazed that young child was to see how the fruits and vegetables grew on bushes and trees.
