Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embrace the power of storytelling with Little Stories of Your Life. Start telling your own story, find your creative self and be more mindful. Combining the wellbeing benefits of mindfulness, creativity and daily photography, this book shows you how to use words and photographs to capture precious little moments and how to share these in order to connect with others. Each chapter explores the different ways you can tell your own stories, considers why you might choose to tell them and helps you to create a patchwork of tiny tales about your life, however small they might be. Throughout the book, Laura shares her own personal stories and research that shows you how to tune out of the bigger picture and focus on the everyday. There are exercises to gently guide you through how to journal and harness your inner creativity, as well as tips on improving your photography, photo challenges and writing prompts to get you started. It’s easy to feel that our own lives are not enough, but real lives are not defined by bright, exciting events: we don’t need a grand narrative arc. It’s the stretches of time in between that matter, the tiny moments and the daily choices that make us who we are.

Download or read book Practical Dreamers written by Mike Hoolboom and published by Coach House Books. This book was released on 2004-04-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The streets are full of admirable craftsmen, but so few practical dreamers.' - Man Ray Welcome to the world of fringe movies. Here, artists have been busy putting queer shoulders to the wheels, or bending light to talk about First Nations rights (and making it funny, to boot), or demonstrating how a personality can be taken apart and put back together, all during a ten-minute movie which might take years to make. In Practical Dreamers , twenty-seven artists dish about how they get it done and why it matters. The conversations are personal, up close and jargon free, smart without smarting. Mike Hoolboom talks footage recycling with Alessa Cohene ( Supposed To ) and Jubal Brown ( Life Is Pornography ); investigates the documentaries of Donigan Cumming ( My Dinner With Weegee ); looks at the Middle East with Jayce Salloum ( This Is Not Beirut ); discusses identity with queer Asian avatars Richard Fung ( Dirty Laundry ), Midi Onodera ( The Displaced View ) and Ho Tam ( The Yellow Pages ), and First Nations vets Kent Monkman ( Blood River ) and Shelley Niro ( Honey Moccasin ); and addresses the visions of Peter Mettler ( Gambling, Gods and LSD ).
Download or read book What Do We Tell the Children Critical Essays on Children s Literature written by Ciara Ní Bhroin and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This peer-reviewed collection of critical essays on children’s literature addresses contemporary debates regarding what constitutes “suitable” texts for young audiences. The volume examines what adult writers “tell” their child readers with particular focus on the following areas: the representation of sexuality, gender and the body; the treatment of death and trauma; concepts of race, prejudice and national identity; and the use of children’s literature as a tool for socializing, acculturating, politicizing and educating children. The focus of the collection is on Irish and international fiction addressed at readers from mid-childhood to young adulthood. One section of the book examines what child readers were told in the past while another section examines young readers’ capacity for self-invention through the participatory culture of the twenty-first century. Topics explored include the controversial issue of teenage prostitution and the commodification of the male body in contemporary young adult fiction, the allure of celebrity and the impact of today’s surveillance culture on young people, the representation of the Holocaust for young readers, and representations of Muslim characters and culture in a post-9/11 mediascape. This collection, which offers insights into a range of literary constructions and representations of childhood, will be a valuable resource for students and scholars working in children’s literature, youth culture and childhood studies. Contributors: Jane Suzanne Carroll, Norma Clarke, Shehrazade Emmambokus, Michele Gill, Marnie Hay, Eimear Hegarty, Nora Maguire, Kerry Mallan, Anne Markey, Kimberley Reynolds, Beth Rodgers, Kay Sambell.
