Explores the drama of proximity and co-presence in Shakespeare's
plays Key Features Brings together the rare pairing of
philosophical ethics and performance studies in Shakespeare's plays
Engages with the thought of philosophers including Ludwig
Wittgenstein, Hannah Arendt, Paul Ricoeur, Stanley Cavell, and
Emmanuel Levinas This book celebrates the theatrical excitement and
philosophical meanings of human interaction in Shakespeare. On
stage and in life, the face is always window and mirror,
representation and presence. It examines the emotional and ethical
surplus that appears between faces in the activity and performance
of human encounter on stage. By transitioning from face as noun to
verb - to face, outface, interface, efface, deface, sur-face -
chapters reveal how Shakespeare's plays discover conflict, betrayal
and deception as well as love, trust and forgiveness between faces
and the bodies that bear them.

An Indigenous resistance historiography, poetry that interrogates
the colonial violence of the archive Whitemud Walking is about the
land Matthew Weigel was born on and the institutions that occupy
that land. It is about the interrelatedness of his own story with
that of the colonial history of Canada, which considers the
numbered treaties of the North-West to be historical and completed
events. But they are eternal agreements that entail complex
reciprocity and obligations. The state and archival institutions
work together to sequester documents and knowledge in ways that
resonate violently in people's lives, including the dispossession
and extinguishment of Indigenous title to land. Using photos,
documents, and recordings that are about or involve his ancestors,
but are kept in archives, Weigel examines the consequences of this
erasure and sequestration. Memories cling to documents and
sometimes this palimpsest can be read, other times the margins must
be centered to gain a fuller picture. Whitemud Walking is a
genre-bending work of visual and lyric poetry, non-fiction prose,
photography, and digital art and design. "Whitemud Walking is so
smart and so ceaselessly innovative. It represents for me a fully
assured instantiation of the Indigenous literary project: a
confrontation of history's terrors head on and an articulation in
the present of our beauty and indomitability. Weigel refuses the
archive's efforts to flatten Indigenous subjectivity and, in so
doing, opens up a kind of boundless space to remember and grieve
but also to hope and imagine otherwise. A deeply felt
accomplishment." -Billy-Ray Belcourt, author of A History of My
Brief Body "Whitemud Walking is a testament to the power of grief
and outrage that so much theft has been allowed to bulldoze
Indigenous land rights. Matthew James Weigel's passion for research
both honours and mourns what has been trampled and lied about. This
is a devastating read but one to learn from. Mahsi cho, Matthew.
Your grief is our call to action to learn our own histories and
build upon our own Indigenous testimonies of what really happened
and when and who was there to witness it. Mahsi cho." -Richard Van
Camp, Tlicho Dene author of The Lesser Blessed and Moccasin Square
Gardens "Whitemud Walking is a textual ecology, that through
archival troubling, sampling, and reframing, allows the material,
human, truly cellular historicity of treaty to enter as a living
presence in our contemporary moment. Weigel writes, 'Here treaty
means reciprocity and obligation. Here, treaty lasts forever'. This
book is not the document you may hold in your hands but the shift
in consciousness it foments within you. It is a gift." -Liz Howard,
author of Infinite Citizen of the Shaking Tent "Echoing the caw and
grackle of magpies, Matthew James Weigel's Whitemud Walking lives
the sound of Treaty 6. Voices whisper sanctuary in creekbeds,
papers rustle precedence in archives; there's a buzz in your ear, a
catch in your throat - listen." -Derek Beaulieu, Banff Poet
Laureate
Matthew J. Babcock's Private Fire: Robert Francis's Ecopoetry and
Prose is an examination of the life and work of one of America's
most intriguing but tragically obscure writers. Babcock uses his
own personal relationship Robert Francis's work, which emphasizes
conservation and connectedness to our natural surroundings, to
illuminate both overtones and nuances that are undoubtedly useful
to those interested in poetry and ecology. Babcock begins with a
brief biographical section intended to set the tone for readers
previously unfamiliar with Robert Francis and then continues into
an analysis of the influence of Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost on
Francis's work. Starting in Chapter Three, Private Fire shifts into
the realm of literary analysis and discusses various angles of
Francis's work, from representations of gender and sexual identity;
prose contributions, both fiction and non-fiction; religion and
politics; to themes of conservation, place-making, experimental
poetic styles, and asceticism, finishing with a discussion of
Francis's only long narrative poem, "Valhalla." This poem joins
other prophetic works in musing upon environmental apocalypticism.
Matthew J. Babcock finishes this detailed and thoughtful volume
with concluding meditations that situate Robert Francis with his
contemporaries, helping readers to locate him historically and
contextually amongst other 20th century writers. By using biography
and literary theory as the lens through which one interprets
Francis's work, Private Fire: Robert Francis's Ecopoetry and Prose
successfully navigates the literary and cultural environment
surrounding a poet who himself was so connected with the world
around him.
