Encounters on Contested Lands
Author: Julie Burelle
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 0810138980
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Winner, 2019 John W. Frick Book Award Winner, 2020 Ann Saddlemyer Award Finalist, ATHE Outstanding Book Award for 2020 Mention Spéciale, Société québécoise d'études théâtrale In Encounters on Contested Lands, Julie Burelle employs a performance studies lens to examine how instances of Indigenous self-representation in Québec challenge the national and identity discourses of the French Québécois de souche—the French-speaking descendants of white European settlers who understand themselves to be settlers no more but rather colonized and rightfully belonging to the territory of Québec. Analyzing a wide variety of performances, Burelle brings together the theater of Alexis Martin and the film L'Empreinte, which repositions the French Québécois de souche as métis, with protest marches led by Innu activists; the Indigenous company Ondinnok's theater of repatriation; the films of Yves Sioui Durand, Alanis Obomsawin, and the Wapikoni Mobile project; and the visual work of Nadia Myre. These performances, Burelle argues, challenge received definitions of sovereignty and articulate new ones while proposing to the province and, more specifically, to the French Québécois de souche, that there are alternative ways to imagine Québec's future and remember its past. The performances insist on Québec's contested nature and reframe it as animated by competing sovereignties. Together they reveal how the "colonial present tense" and "tense colonial present" operate in conjunction as they work to imagine an alternative future predicated on decolonization. Encounters on Contested Lands engages with theater and performance studies while making unique and needed contributions to Québec and Canadian studies, as well as to Indigenous and settler-colonial studies.

Book Description
Have you ever wanted to dazzle your friends with your command of history, science, and other important matters? No? Then this is the book for you. Ronald Reagan once famously said, “Facts are stupid things.” The book you hold in your hands will prove it. Did you know that Albuquerque’s population is 78% chupacabra and 22% victim? Do you know why civilization started in Mesopotamia, and not Boise? And did you know the reason you shouldn’t stare at the Sun is that it will probably shoot you and turn your skin into a rain poncho? Disalmanac is a handy compendium of false facts covering everything from world history and economics to pop culture, sports, and more. All of which are incorrect, but try not to be so judgy about it. But wait, there’s more. You’ll also discover a generous supply of Random Bonus Facts from the likes of Michael Ian Black, Neil Gaiman, Wil Wheaton, Weird Al Yankovic, and other luminaries who may or may not have a good grasp of the facts.

Seize the Day
Author: Kathryn R. Biel
Publisher: Kathryn R. Biel
ISBN: 1949424316
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Erin McAvoy is thriving—or at least, she’d like to think so. A connoisseur of tacos, snarky T-shirts, and Pinterest projects, she spends her days caring for the incredible animals at one of the country’s top zoos. Life is good... except for the life-changing secret she keeps tucked away: a DNA test has revealed she’s at high risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Ignoring it might be easier, but time isn’t on her side—if Erin wants a chance to have a baby, she has to act now. The only constant guy in her life is Barry—a sloth (yes, the animal, not the personality type)—but unfortunately, he’s not much help when it comes to starting a family. Navigating her options is tricky, especially since she grew up in a conservative household where unconventional solutions weren’t exactly encouraged. And don’t even get her started on the nightmare of online dating. Enter Xander Barnes, a co-worker who’s either her greatest annoyance or her greatest ally—possibly both. When Xander suggests a daring plan to help Erin get the baby she dreams of, it might just be her best shot at motherhood. Her family may not approve, and the path ahead is anything but simple, but Erin’s ready to leap into the unknown. Because if a leopard can change its spots, so can she. And who knows? Along with a baby, she might just find the love—and the tacos—she’s been craving all along.

Youth, Murder, Spectacle
Author: Charles R Acland
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 042997146X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
In this book, Charles R. Acland examines the culture that has produced both our heightened state of awareness and the bedrock reality of youth violence in the United States. Beginning with a critique of statistical evidence of youth violence, Acland compares and juxtaposes a variety of popular cultural representations of what has come to be a perceived crisis of American youth. After examining the dominant paradigms for scholarly research into youth deviance, Acland explores the ideas circulating in the popular media about a sensational crime known as the "preppy murder" and the confession to that crime. Arguing that the meaning of crime is never inherent in the event itself, he evaluates other sites of representation, including newspaper photographs (with a comparison to the Central Park "wilding"), daytime television talk shows (Oprah, Geraldo, and Donahue), and Hollywood youth films (in particular River's Edge). Through a cultural studies analysis of historical context, Acland blurs the center of our preconceptions and exposes the complex social forces at work upon this issue in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Acland asks of the social critic, "How do we know that we are measuring what we say we are measuring, and how do we know what the numbers are saying? Arguments must be made to interpret findings, which suggests that conclusions are provisional and, to various degrees, sites of contestation." He launches into this gratifying book to show that beyond the problematic category of "actual" crime, the United States has seen the construction of a new "spectacle of wasted youth" that will have specific consequences for the daily lives of the next generation.
