Trickster Makes This World - Lewis Hyde
Trickster disrupted the world around him, and in doing so he reshaped it. Playful, mischievous, subversive, amoral, tricksters are a great bother to have around, but they are also indispensable heroes of culture.Trickster Makes This World revisits the stories of Coyote, Eshu and Hermes and holds them up against the life and work of more recent creators: Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Allen Ginsberg, Maxine Hong Kingston and others. Authoritative in its scholarship, supple and dynamic in its style, Trickster Makes This World encourages you to think and see afresh.

A Primer for Forgetting - Lewis Hyde
“One of our true superstars of nonfiction†(David Foster Wallace), Lewis Hyde offers a playful and inspiring defense of forgetfulness by exploring the healing effect it can have on the human psyche. We live in a culture that prizes memory—how much we can store, the quality of what’s preserved, how we might better document and retain the moments of our life while fighting off the nightmare of losing all that we have experienced. But what if forgetfulness were seen not as something to fear—be it in the form of illness or simple absentmindedness—but rather as a blessing, a balm, a path to peace and rebirth? A Primer for Forgetting is a remarkable experiment in scholarship, autobiography, and social criticism by the author of the classics The Gift and Trickster Makes This World. It forges a new vision of forgetfulness by assembling fragments of art and writing from the ancient world to the modern, weighing the potential boons forgetfulness might offer the present moment as a creative and political force. It also turns inward, using the author’s own life and memory as a canvas upon which to extol the virtues of a concept too long taken as an evil. Drawing material ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Painted House of Maud Lewis - Laurie Hamilton
For many years, Maud Lewis was one of Nova Scotia''s best-loved folk painters. In the 1990s she was embraced by the rest of the country when the landmark exhibition of her work The Illuminated Life of Maud Lewis travelled across Canada. By the time the tour was over, half a million people had become acquainted with her delightful work. Between 1938, when she married Everett Lewis, until her death in 1970, Maud Lewis lived in a tiny one-room house near Digby, Nova Scotia. Over the years, she painted the doors inside and out, the windowpanes, the walls and cupboards, the wallpaper, the little staircase to the sleeping loft, the woodstove, the breadbox, the dustpan, almost everything her hand touched. Her house was a joy to behold, and it became a magnet for tourists as well as a focal point in her village. In 1979, after Everett Lewis died, the Maud Lewis Painted House Society worked diligently to raise funds to acquire, preserve, and display the house as part of the cultural heritage of the area as well as a memorial to their beloved artist. In 1984, the house and its contents were purchased by the Province of Nova Scotia for ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Censure of This World - Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali
Being the twenty-sixth book of The Revival of the Religious Sciences (Ihya'' ''ulum al-din), The Book of the Censure of This World (Kitab Dhamm al-dunya) seeks to persuade its reader of the folly of worldly pleasures and possessions. To do so, al-Ghazali begins with a collection of Islamic primary-source texts that speak to the dangers of this world from a variety of angles. He then adds to this collection fourteen metaphors for this world that illustrate its perfidious nature. In a third subsection, al-Ghazali provides an original rationale for renouncing worldly enjoyments, and he furnishes his reader with a blueprint for determining what constitutes “this world†in its most dangerous sense. In a fourth and final subsection, al-Ghazali applies a sociological theory to enumerate the essential human vocations and identify the mechanisms through which these lead people away from God.

Masculinities in Schools - Lewis Wedlock
Teachers are struggling with issues and conversations around masculinities in schools. How do we discuss problem areas associated with masculinities, without demonising the young men we are engaging with? How do we create safe spaces for young people to discuss and challenge their masculinities together? It has never been harder to engage young men in conversations about masculinity, and it has never been more confusing to know where to start.Educator and social scientist Lewis Wedlock enables schools and teachers to grow their confidence in exploring masculinities with young people.  He challenges limiting ideas of masculinity and takes a compassionate, restorative approach. Through this book, Lewis supports teachers to deepen their understanding of how masculinities are shaped, to explore the many complexities and to get comfortable with the uncertainties. He offers practical guidance for the classroom and for transformative, community centred interventions. He empowers teachers to feel confident in implementing sustainable, flexible, and constantly mendable models of masculinity.The subject of masculinities is often approached through a lens of ‘toxicity’, prompting disengagement and disconnection. This book takes a different approach. It is not about polarizing, demonizing, or standardizing masculinities. It supports and advocates for schools to be open to the wide ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Why This World - Benjamin Moser
"That rare person who looked like Marlene Dietrich and wrote like Virginia Woolf," Clarice Lispector is one of the most popular but least understood of Latin American writers, and now in Why this World, after years of research on three continents, drawing on previously unknown manuscripts and dozens of interviews, Benjamin Moser demonstrates how Lispector''s development as a writer was directly connected to the story of her turbulent life. Born in the nightmarish landscape of post-World War I Ukraine, Clarice became, virtually from adolescence, a person whose beauty, genius, and eccentricity intrigued Brazil. Why This World tells how this precocious girl, through long exile abroad and difficult personal struggles, matured into a great writer, and asserts, for the first time, the deep roots in the Jewish mystical tradition that make her the true heir to Kafka as well as the unlikely author of "perhaps the greatest spiritual autobiography of the twentieth century." From Chechelnik to Recife, from Naples and Bern to Washington and Rio de Janeiro, Why This World strips away the mythology surrounding this extraordinary figure and shows how Clarice Lispector transformed one woman''s struggles into a universally resonant art.Benjamin Moser is the New Books columnist of Harper''s Magazine. ...

Out Of This World - Graham Swift
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LAST ORDERS AND MOTHERING SUNDAY, reissued for the first time in Scribner In 1972, Robert Beech, First World War veteran and prominent figure in the arms industry, is killed by a car bomb. The event cuts short the career of his son Harry, a news photographer, and comes close to destroying his granddaughter Sophie. Ten years later, Harry, now working in aerial photography, and Sophie, visiting an analyst in New York, remain scarred and divided by the event. Around their broken relationship and Harry’s memories of his truncated career and his father, the novel builds a story that is acutely private yet sweepingly public, at the heart of which lies Harry’s lifelong dedication of the camera.Out of This World spans many of the twentieth century’s scenes of conflict, but also contains some of Graham Swift’s most achingly intimate scenes of personal confrontation—scenes that, powerful and haunting as photographs can be, no photographs can capture.‘Deserves to be ranked in the forefront of contemporary literature’ New York Times‘Superb, profound’ Sunday Times

The World After Gaza - Mishra Pankaj
From the award-winning writer and thinker, an essential reckoning with the war in Gaza, its historical conditions, and moral and geopolitical ramifications''Courageous and bracing, learned and ethical, rigorous and mind-expanding'' NAOMI KLEIN''Mishra has made a powerful contribution to the moral history of the world'' ANDREW O''HAGAN''Urgent'' HISHAM MATAR''Brilliant'' WILLIAM DALRYMPLEMemory of the Holocaust, the ultimate atrocity of Europe’s civil wars and the paradigmatic genocide, has shaped the Western political and moral imagination in the postwar era. Fears of its recurrence have been routinely invoked to justify Israel’s policies against Palestinians. But for most people around the world – the ‘darker peoples’, in W. E. B. Du Bois’s words – the main historical memory is of the traumatic experiences of slavery and colonialism, and the central event of the twentieth century is decolonisation – freedom from the white man’s world.The World After Gaza takes the war in the Middle East, and the bitterly polarised reaction to it within as well as outside the West, as the starting point for a broad reevaluation of two competing narratives of the last century: the West’s triumphant account of victory over Nazi and communist totalitarianism, and the spread of liberal capitalism, and the global majority''s ...

Under the World - Oscar Guardiola-Rivera
This is ''a roots rave manifesto / to free literature''. The second installment in Oscar Guardiola-Rivera''s Night of the World trilogy, Out of the World continues Hoodoo Girl''s adventures, alongside the trickster Ix. This mythopoetic narrative–told in three episodes–is inspired by the Mayan epic Popol Vuh, where ‘plot is overrated'' and musicality abounds. Lay your ear to the ground and follow these unearthly threads, the syncopated beats where the colonial encounter animates the Angel of History to reveal the masquerade that surrounds us all.In this second installment of Night of the World, Oscar Guardiola-Rivera elaborates in kaleidoscopic poetic form his ongoing, multi-scalar inquiry of how the open veins of the Americas are a burrow or cave from which emerge so many critical monsters, creative motions, moral ironies, and cosmos-shaking events. Intertwining touchstones of the Americas (such as the Popol Vuh) with the contemporaneity of their historical crises (colonialism to current trade zones and migrations), this book puts the root-work of the creation of the Americas in front of its legatees, beginnings poised to be instantiated. Black Legend be damned. Guardiola-Rivera’s Under the World: Night of the World is a declarative, ambitious encomium for the emergence of historical Latin America as ...

How the World is Making Our Children Mad and What to Do About It - Louis Weinstock
I know of no one better qualified to understand what young people are facing today - Philippa Perry There are epidemic rates of ADHD, depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide in young people. The conventional medical model wants to put a plaster on the problems with medication and CBT, but we, as parents, need to dig deeper. We need to face the fact that it is not our child''s fault, but the world we are bringing them up in and that we play a key role in how they see this world. Bringing together years of work helping children and the child inside us all, acclaimed psychotherapist, Louis Weinstock, will show us how. Split into two parts, and blending mindfulness, meditation and visualisation, we are taken on a journey that starts with exploring our own fears and weaknesses, and ends joyfully in practical ways we can help build confidence, courage and authentic hope about the future in our children. The power lies within each of us to create with, and for, our children a more beautiful world right now - a world where they realise their almost infinite potential.

Angelica's Book and the World of Reading in Late Renaissance Italy - Professor Brendan Dooley
Through the lens of a history of material culture mediated by an object, Angelica''s Book and the World of Reading in Late Renaissance Italy investigates aspects of women’s lives, culture, ideas and the history of the book in early modern Italy.Inside a badly damaged copy of Straparola’s 16th-century work, Piacevoli Notti, acquired in a Florentine antique shop in 2010, an inscription is found, attributing ownership to a certain Angelica Baldachini. The discovery sets in motion a series of inquiries, deploying knowledge about calligraphy, orthography, linguistics, dialectology and the socio-psychology of writing, to reveal the person behind the name. Focusing as much on the possible owner as upon the thing owned, Angelica’s Book examines the genesis of the Piacevoli Notti and its many editions, including the one in question. The intertwined stories of the book and its owner are set against the backdrop of a Renaissance world, still imperfectly understood, in which literature and reading were subject to regimes of control; and the new information throws aspects of this world into further relief, especially in regard to women’s involvement with reading, books and knowledge. The inquiry yields unexpected insights concerning the logic of accidental discovery, the nature of evidence, and the ... Unknown localization key: "more"
