Affective Landscapes - Maria Pilar Rodriguez - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Affective Landscapes: Representation of Terrorism and Violence by Basque Female Authors draws from contemporary social and cultural theory of affect to analyze the Basque Country’s political violence since the birth of the terrorist organization E.T.A. The study focuses on how this violence has been represented in contemporary works of literature and cinema authored by women and examines the alternative means these authors use to examine political violence from a gendered perspective. The artistic works analyzed in this volume highlight the connection between violence and the production of specific affective states; these authors’ stories illustrate the pernicious effects that violence has for human relationality and social bonds. As such, the study provides new readings of seminal works authored by Basque women during this period of violence and, in doing so, it renders a much-needed contribution to the place that their artistic productions have in providing a novel understanding of the Basque political reality. The study presents a groundbreaking analysis to understand the centrality of affect as a unique prism to approach violent contexts, to present different affirmations of the "political," and to bring to light social dynamics otherwise unnoticed.

The Time Is Now - Louie F. Rodriguez - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Time Is Now - Louie F. Rodriguez - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

The fact that 30% of all high school students and 50% of African American, Latina/o, and Native American students fail to graduate from high school is grounds for alarm in the United States. The Time Is Now argues that understanding and responding to the dropout crisis facing the United States has overlooked one major element – school culture. Using the PUEDES approach as an analytical framework, this book highlights how schools matter and, in fact, hold many of the solutions that contribute to student engagement and disengagement in school, particularly among low-income students of color. Drawing on more than 10 years of school-based research in Boston, Miami, and Southern California, a 10-Point Plan is proposed. The book provides a practical theory of action aimed at challenging the ways schools and communities work together to transform education practice, policy, and, ultimately, student engagement and achievement, particularly among African American and Latina/o students across the United States.

Rewriting North American Borders in Chicano and Chicana Narrative - Monika Kaup - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Rewriting North American Borders in Chicano and Chicana Narrative - Monika Kaup - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

How does Chicano/a studies reconceptualize North American studies? Why do borders and borderlands figure so prominently in Chicano/a narrative and criticism? Rewriting North American Borders in Chicano and Chicana Narrative discusses three aspects of the Mexican American experience: the history of native origins in the borderlands, the (im)migrant experience, and the Chicana experience. They all produce narratives derived from the U.S.-Mexico border in its physical, political, psychological, and imaginative dimensions, and each (re)writes a distinct cultural poetics of that key site. A comprehensive study of Chicano/a narrative since the 1960s, this book presents theory combined with sensitive and detailed readings of most major (and many minor) Chicana and Chicano writers, including Gloria Anzaldúa, Norma Cantú, Ana Castillo, Sandra Cisneros, Ernesto Galarza, Rolando Hinojosa, Rubén Martínez, Cherríe Moraga, Alejandro Morales, Américo Paredes, Estela Portillo Trambley, Tomás Rivera, Richard Rodriguez, José Villareal, Victor Villaseñor, and others.

Obscenity and Disruption in the Poetry of Dylan Krieger - Thomas Simmons - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Obscenity and Disruption in the Poetry of Dylan Krieger - Thomas Simmons - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Obscenity and Disruption in the Poetry of Dylan Krieger is the first full-length study of the radical poetry of Baton Rouge-based poet Dylan Krieger. Wickedly smart, iconoclastic, daring in their critiques of religion and contemporary culture, Krieger’s poems rank with Allen Ginsberg’s and Adrienne Rich’s as the most provocative and avant-garde of any recent generation. With its debt to third-wave feminism and the "Gurlesque," Krieger’s work nevertheless moves outward and backward across the landmines of sexual precocity and religious fundamentalism and across the entire western project of epistemology as Krieger came to understand it at the University of Notre Dame. Though this book necessarily stays close to Krieger’s specific poems, it follows her lead in stretching her cultural, sexual, and religious furies to their apotheosis in a manifesto of liberation.
