'York Notes Advanced' offer an accessible approach to English
Literature. This series has been completely updated to meet the
needs of today's A-level and undergraduate students. Written by
established literature experts, York Notes Advanced introduce
students to more sophisticated analysis, a range of critical
perspectives and wider contexts.
This book investigates how British contemporary artists who work
with clay have managed, in the space of a single generation, to
take ceramics from niche-interest craft to the pristine territories
of the contemporary art gallery. This development has been
accompanied (and perhaps propelled) by the kind of critical
discussion usually reserved for the 'higher' discipline of
sculpture. Ceramics is now encountering and colliding with
sculpture, both formally and intellectually. Laura Gray examines
what this means for the old hierarchies between art and craft, the
identity of the potter, and the character of a discipline tied to a
specific material but wanting to participate in critical
discussions that extend far beyond clay.
Trump Fiction:Essays on Donald Trump in Literature, Film, and
Television examines depictions of Donald Trump and his fictional
avatars in literature, film, and television, including works that
took up the subject of Trump before his successful presidential
campaign (in terms that often uncannily prefigure his presidency)
as well as those that have appeared since he took office. Covering
a range of texts and approaches, the essays in this collection
analyze the place Trump has assumed in literary and popular
culture. By investigating how authors including Bret Easton Ellis,
Amy Waldman, Thomas Pynchon, Howard Jacobson, Mark Doten, Olivia
Laing, and Salman Rushdie, along with films and television programs
like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Sesame Street, Sex and the City,
Two Weeks Notice, Our Cartoon President, and Pose have approached
and shaped the discourse surrounding Trump, the contributors
collectively demonstrate the ways these cultural artifacts serve as
sites through which the culture both resists and abets Trump and
his rise to power.
COVID-19’s impacts revealed that teaching writing online was no
longer merely an issue of convenience or economic necessity—it
was critical to public health and equity concerns as well. Now
higher education faces one of its greatest historical challenges,
expanding online offerings to fully engage and support students
around the world. Gathering together educators who teach writing at
college and graduate levels using creative hybrid, blended, and
online/remote/virtual modes, this book should be required reading
for all teachers and administrators. The volume features those new
to online teaching alongside experienced online writing teachers.
Referencing the latest research in online teaching and writing,
contributors share stories of crucial successes as well as
unforeseen difficulties. Essays address compelling concerns such as
engaging diversity and cultural inclusivity, social justice, as
well as global learning in online writing courses; radically
reshaping graduate seminars for online delivery; flipping
classrooms to promote more successful writing instruction;
fostering greater community within online writing classrooms;
examining the problems and possibilities of Learning Management
Systems for teaching writing; sustaining remote writing-centered
archival research; avoiding Zoom fatigue in writing classes by
using design thinking; utilizing expressive arts in online writing
classes; mentoring doctoral students online; constructing
meaningful approaches to online peer writing feedback; as well as
making access and inclusivity central to online writing course
design.
In this book, various writers from different backgrounds share
beautiful, creatively-written essays about how forms of physical
activity (e.g., hiking, backpacking, road running, building a fire,
practicing yoga, trail running, walking, boogie boarding, cycling,
snowshoeing, swimming, mountain biking, and doing triathlons) as
well as their interactions with the natural world have impacted
their specific writing practices, teaching approaches, and who they
are as people. In their lively pieces they explore the myriad ways
in which physical activities in particular environmental contexts
have directly and radically impacted their composing processes as
well as their lives as writers. Drawing from techniques in creative
nonfiction as well as rhetoric and writing studies, each author
draws the reader into her/his adventures and experiences in
illuminating ways, furthering the argument that physical activities
are not disconnected from our writing. Rather, they are
inextricably linked to our writing practices. And oftentimes we are
in fact composing in the very act of engaging in such physical
activities.
This book surveys the history of basic writing scholarship,
suggesting that we cannot adequately theorize the situations of
basic writers unless we examine how they construct their own
conceptions of their identities, their constructions of their
relationships to social forces, and their representations of their
relationships to written work. Using a cross-disciplinary analytic
model, Gray-Rosendale offers a detailed examination of the oral
conversations that take place within one basic writing peer
revision group. She explains the ways in which the students' own
conversational structures impact and shape their written products.
Gray-Rosendale then draws out the potentials of her work for basic
writing administrators, curricula builders, and teachers.

"The Gift of Experience" captures the lives and perspectives of
twenty-one men, born with hemophilia, and their caregivers, in ways
that other resources have failed to do. In vital and personal
stories, these individuals speak about the experience of coping
with hemophilia. Their accounts capture the impact of the dramatic
advances in the treatment of the disease as well as the challenges
of chronic pain, joint damage and HIV and hepatitis C infection
resulting from the tainted blood supply between the late 1960s and
the mid-1980s." Laura Gray and Christine Chamberlain have done a
tremendous job weaving these oral histories into a narrative that
allows their subjects to speak for themselves. "The Gift of
Experience" is a 'must read' for anyone interested in the illness
and disability experiences of people with chronic diseases as well
as those with bleeding disorders. "The Gift of Experience" is
moving and inspiring, a hopeful account of the human experience.
Crucial conversations about feminist theories and how they can fall
apart, rupture, and fragment. This advanced analysis of gender
issues in higher education represents a significant new turn in
feminist thinking. Fractured Feminisms resists and reshapes
boundaries by investigating how gender studies intersection with
race and ethnicity, class, postcoloniality, sexuality,
globalization, interdisciplinarity, technology studies, and
administration exposes the "silenced other" of feminisms
themselves. These crucial conversations about feminisms depend upon
facing the perplexing rhetorical problems within feminist debates,
yet work within these fractures to discover newly emerging,
productive feminist practices. This book contends that it's
important to better understand the ways in which feminist rhetorics
both empower and constrain and the kinds of identities feminisms
afford as well as deny.
In an effort to rethink the left, this interdisciplinary collection
weaves together some of today's most powerful voices in
contemporary left critical thought as they examine the
fragmentation of American movements for social change, evaluate
what critical scholarship might contribute to the task of renewing
(or creating) a more unified and efficacious left, and explore the
left's possibly inadequate dealings with many marginalized groups.
Representing a diverse range of theoretical perspectives within
several "textual" disciplines, the essays assess historical,
practical, or speculative models for a "whole left"-"a left
constituted by a broad range of complexly interwoven interests,
including issues of class, environment, gender, sexuality,
disability, race, and ethnicity.
