A groundbreaking examination of the "double" in modern and
contemporary art From ancient mythology to contemporary cinema, the
motif of the double-which repeats, duplicates, mirrors, inverts,
splits, and reenacts-has captured our imaginations, both attracting
and repelling us. The Double examines this essential concept
through the lens of art, from modernism to contemporary
practice-from the paired paintings of Henri Matisse and Arshile
Gorky, to the double line works of Piet Mondrian and Marlow Moss,
to Eva Hesse's One More Than One, Lorna Simpson's Two Necklines,
Roni Horn's Pair Objects, and Rashid Johnson's The New Negro
Escapist Social and Athletic Club (Emmett). James Meyer's survey
text explores four modes of doubling: Seeing Double through
repetition; Reversal, the inversion or mirroring of an image or
form; Dilemma, the staging of an absurd or impossible choice; and
the Divided and Doubled Self (split and shadowed selves, personae,
fraternal doubles, and pairs). Thought-provoking essays by leading
scholars Julia Bryan-Wilson, Tom Gunning, W.J.T. Mitchell, Hillel
Schwartz, Shawn Michelle Smith, and Andrew Solomon discuss a host
of topics, including the ontology and ethics of the double, the
double and psychoanalysis, double consciousness, the doppelganger
in silent cinema, and the queer double. Richly illustrated
throughout, The Double is a multifaceted exploration of an enduring
theme in art, from painting and sculpture to photography, film,
video, and performance. Published in association with the National

As a WWE wrestler with millions of fans, Shawn Michaels had
adulation and all the attention he could ask for, but he found
himself longing for something more. When he became a committed
Christian at the height of his career, Shawn learned what it's like
to be a man of faith in a secular arena. Wrestling for My Life
documents Shawn's journey to finding a new way of life--one that's
marked by faith, family, and forgiveness. As you watch Shawn's
testimony unfold, you'll learn about: The power of self-discipline
The importance of finding a supportive mentor who challenges you to
be the best version of yourself The freedom that's found in true
forgiveness Praise for Wrestling for My Life: "Shawn's greatest
challenge came from deep within himself, and it's been
awe-inspiring to watch this man pull himself from the depths of his
own personal hell by immersing himself in his faith in God. I
couldn't be more amazed at the man, husband, father, and friend he
has become." -The Undertaker "I am certain that you will enjoy
getting to know Shawn Michaels from the pages within as much as I
have in his everyday life. If you read one book this year, make it
this one" -Pastor Matthew Hagee "Shawn's story is an important
reminder of life's priorities and how we choose to use our given
gifts. While I work with Shawn outside of the wrestling world, I
can still strongly attest to his perseverance, passion, and
humility. These pages offer an inside look into how he found
strength for better change." -Jeff Wayne, Executive Vice President

Self-study is inherently collaborative. Such collaboration provides
transparency, validity, rigor and trustworthiness in conducting
self-study. However, the ways in which these collaborations are
enacted have not been sufficiently addressed in the self-study
literature. This book addresses these gaps in the literature by
placing critical friendship, collaborative self-study and community
of practice at the forefront of the self-study of teaching. It
highlights these forms of collaboration, how the collaboration was
developed and enacted, the challenges and tensions that existed in
the collaboration, and how practice and identity developed through
the use of these forms of collaboration. The chapters serve as
exemplars of enacting these forms of collaboration and provide
researchers with an additional base of literature to draw upon in
their scholarly writing, teaching of self-study, and their
enactment of collaborative self-study spaces.
In Colonial Kinship, historian Shawn Michael Austin traces the
history of conquest and colonization in Paraguay during the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Emphasizing the social and
cultural agency of Guaranà - the indigenous people of Paraguay -
not only in Jesuit missions but also in colonial settlements and
Indian pueblos scattered in and around the Spanish city of
Asuncion, Austin argues that interethnic relations and cultural
change in Paraguay can only be properly understood through the
GuaranÃÂ logic of kinship. In the colonial backwater of Paraguay,
conquistadors were forced to marry into GuaranÃÂ families in
order to acquire indigenous tributaries, thereby becoming
"brothers-in-law" (tovajÃ) to GuaranÃÂ chieftains. This pattern
of interethnic exchange infused colonial relations and institutions
with GuaranÃÂ social meanings and expectations of reciprocity
that forever changed Spaniards, African slaves, and their
descendants. Austin demonstrates that GuaranÃÂ of diverse social
and political positions actively shaped colonial society along
indigenous lines.

Wheeler-Voegelin Award Honorable Mention from the American Society
for Ethnohistory In Colonial Kinship: Guarani, Spaniards, and
Africans in Paraguay, historian Shawn Michael Austin traces the
history of conquest and colonization in Paraguay during the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Emphasizing the social and
cultural agency of Guarani--one of the primary indigenous peoples
of Paraguay--not only in Jesuit missions but also in colonial
settlements and Indian pueblos scattered in and around the Spanish
city of Asuncion, Austin argues that interethnic relations and
cultural change in Paraguay can only be properly understood through
the Guarani logic of kinship. In the colonial backwater of
Paraguay, conquistadors were forced to marry into Guarani families
in order to acquire indigenous tributaries, thereby becoming
"brothers-in-law" (tovaja) to Guarani chieftains. This pattern of
interethnic exchange infused colonial relations and institutions
with Guarani social meanings and expectations of reciprocity that
forever changed Spaniards, African slaves, and their descendants.

"Pictures and Progress "explores how, during the nineteenth century
and the early twentieth, prominent African American intellectuals
and activists understood photography's power to shape perceptions
about race and employed the new medium in their quest for social
and political justice. They sought both to counter widely
circulating racist imagery and to use self-representation as a
means of empowerment. In this collection of essays, scholars from
various disciplines consider figures including Frederick Douglass,
Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and W. E. B.
Du Bois as important and innovative theorists and practitioners of
photography. In addition, brief interpretive essays, or
"snapshots," highlight and analyze the work of four early African
American photographers. Featuring more than seventy images,
"Pictures and Progress" brings to light the wide-ranging practices
of early African American photography, as well as the effects of
photography on racialized thinking.
