Dysfluencies
Author: Chris Eagle
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1623566223
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Dysfluencies is the first comprehensive study of how speech disorders are portrayed in modern literature. Tracing the roots of this interaction between literary practice and speech pathology back to the rise of aphasiology in the 1860s, Dysfluencies examines portrayals of disordered speech by writers like Zola, Proust, Joyce, Melville, and Mishima, as well as contemporary writers like Philip Roth, Gail Jones, and Jonathan Lethem. Dysfluencies thus speaks directly to the growing interest at present, both in popular culture and the Humanities, regarding the status of the Self in relation to speech pathology. The need for this type of study is clear considering the number of prominent writers whose works foreground disorders of speech: Melville, Zola, Kesey, Mishima, Roth, et al. Moreover, thinkers like Freud, Bergson, and Jakobson were similarly concerned with the implications of language breakdown. This volume shows this concern began with the rise of neurology and aphasiology, which challenged spiritual conceptions of language and replaced them with a view of language as a material process rooted in the brain. Dysfluencies traces the history of this interaction between literary practice and speech pathology, arguing that works of literature have responded differently to the issue of language breakdown as the dominant views on the issue have shifted from neurological (circa 1860s to 1920s) to psychological (circa 1920s to 1980s), and back to neurological during the so-called "decade of the Brain" (the 1990s).

The Inner Critic
Author: Montriel V. Jamari LMFT
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982246014
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Where is your life path calling you? What areas need to be fulfilled within you? Are you allowing the inner critic to deter you from your destiny? From your wholeness? Nobody can walk the path for you; it’s something you must do on your own. Many people are afraid, and through disbelief, allow fear to paralyze them. They don’t want to venture on the path before them. This causes many difficult dilemmas that fuel unrealized dreams: complacency, mediocrity, stagnation of the soul, excuse making, and feeling like a victim. The Inner Critic, by author Montriel V. Jamari, offers a fascinating look at the psychology of the inner voice inside us all. Touching on family history, attachment, race, cultural issues and personal stories, The Inner Critic invites us to create a different story other than the one that has been told about us. He addresses where the voice comes from, why it’s so powerful, and how it influences our life’s path. Through Montriel’s personal stories, experiences and his work as a therapist, The Inner Critic seeks to understand and find ways of silencing the negative voice and placing the power of choice back into our hands. The Inner Critic offers hope and encouragement through the guidance of simple, yet profound, questions helping us to author a new narrative for ourselves.

The Red Fang

ISBN:
Category : Art

Pages : 183
Book Description
From the underground lair of the Paranormal Princess comes this action-packed, fast-paced roller coaster ride of love, lust, and betrayal in a series readers are calling “not just another vampire book; this isn’t your normal paranormal.” "They're killing us off one by one - a full blown extermination. And they call us the monsters." Hopeless, pointless. Those were the words on the lips of everyone still left standing in our small, supernatural community. The vampire Stealth had barely escaped with his immortal life after the Shield of Humanity attacked his home, a home which now lay in ruins on the outskirts of Shadow Cove. The lycan clans were being picked off one-by-one by the hate-filled faction, the few remaining remnants scattered to the winds. Entire species and families had been eradicated – a full blown extermination carried out for no other reason than they were feared by the humans. Their lives were being cut short, but those in peril would no longer stand idly by and watch as their families were destroyed. They would unit, fight until the bitter end, all declaring in one voice – they are no different than the humans, and they have the right to exist – to live. This is a tale which drags the darkness into the light, lays bare the shadows lurking inside the hearts of mankind, a tale which can only end one way – with bloodshed. Battle lines have been drawn, but the war has just begun. In a distinctive mashup between the worlds of Twilight, Anita Blake, and the Vampire Chronicles, the Before the Sun Rises series is a fast-paced, action-packed urban science fantasy which transports fans of the paranormal into a world fraught with conflict. Find out why readers are saying "this isn't your normal paranormal" ...

Lifelong cynic Jas is the queen of one-night things—until a plumbing disaster screws everything up and leaves her temporarily homeless. Luckily, she has someone to turn to: her best friend Rahul. For seven years, Rahul Khan has followed three simple rules. Don’t touch Jasmine if you can help it. Don’t look at her arse in that skirt. And don’t ever—ever—tell her you love her. He should’ve added another rule: Do not, under any circumstances, let Jas move into your house. Now Rahul is living with the friend he can’t have, and it’s decimating his control. He knows their shared dinners aren’t dates, their late-night kisses are a mistake, and the tenderness in Jasmine’s gaze is only temporary. One wrong word could send his skittish best friend running. So why is he tempted to risk it all?
