Download or read book Contemporary Narratives of Dementia written by Sarah Falcus and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines narratives of dementia in contemporary literary texts, studying what is now a pressing issue with deep political, economic, and social implications for many ageing societies. As part of the increasing visibility of dementia in social and cultural life, these narratives pose ethical, aesthetic, and political questions about subjectivity, agency, and care that help us to interrogate the cultural discourse of dementia. Contemporary Narratives of Dementia is a seminal book that offers a sustained examination of a wide range of literary narratives, from auto/biographies and detective fiction, to children’s books and comic books. With its wide-reaching theoretical and critical scope, its comparative dimension, and its inclusion of multiple genres, this book is important for scholars engaging with studies of dementia and ageing in diverse disciplines. Sarah Falcus is a Reader in Contemporary Literature at the University of Huddersfield, UK. She has research interests in contemporary women’s writing, feminism and literary gerontology. She is the co-director of the Dementia and Cultural Narrative (DCN) network. Katsura Sako is an Associate Professor of English, at Keio University, Japan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dementia is on the rise around the world, and health organizations in Canada, the United States, and New Zealand are increasingly responding to the urgent need – voiced by communities and practitioners – for guidance on how best to address memory loss in Indigenous communities. Indigenous Peoples and Dementia responds to this call by bringing together, for the first time, research on three key areas of concern: prevalence, causes, and public discourse; Indigenous perspectives on care and prevention; and the culturally safe application of research to Elder care. The discussions are organized thematically and are complemented by teaching stories that impart Indigenous knowledge about memory loss and memory care. Presenting strategies for health practice and effective collaborative research informed by Indigenous knowledge and worldviews, this book is a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, students, and educators who seek a better understanding of memory loss and memory care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet the rebellious young poets who brought about a literary revolution Rock stars may think they invented sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but the Romantic poets truly created the mold. In the early 1800s, poetry could land a person in jail. Those who tried to change the world through their poems risked notoriety—or courted it. Among the most subversive were a group of young writers known as the Romantics: Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Samuel Taylor Cole-ridge, William Wordsworth, and John Keats. These rebels believed poetry should express strong feelings in ordinary language, and their words changed literature forever. Wildly Romantic is a smart, sexy, and fascinating look at these original bad boys—and girls.

Book excerpt: No matter why, or where, or for how long a mommy might have to leave, every child should always know: Mommy Loves You! Author and illustrator Lois Kim has always turned to drawing as a source of comfort, even as a child herself. During her incarceration at the Women's Community Correctional Center in Kailua, her passion for art became a lifeline. Through Haku Mo'olelo, a program offered by the prison in partnership with Read to Me International, she was able to produce Mommy Loves You. The story and its accompanying illustrations provided her with an outlet to combat her loneliness and a way to tell her children that her absence was not their fault, and that her love for them, above all things, endured. The universal message of maternal love emphasizes to children that no matter the reason for their mother's absence, whether it be work, illness, incarceration or even something as simple as "me time," there should never be any doubt: Mommy Loves You.
