War affects life writing and lives affect war writing. The
traditional forms of life writing - memoir, biography, letters,
diaries - buckle under the strain of war. War writing has fewer
traditional forms but exists at a similar extreme. The eight
chapters in this book, written by leading and up-and-coming
scholars in the field, illuminate the creative innovations,
improvisations, and implosions which happen when the demands of
writing war and writing lives collide. Central to all is the
question of authenticity: how can wars and lives be known and who
can speak of them with authority? This volume has a generous
chronological and generic range, beginning in the early 1800s and
stretching to twenty-first-century texts, and covering letters,
diaries, fiction, 'fakeries', poetry, biography, testimony, songs,
objects, and digital media. The mix of authors is similarly varied:
Thomas Hardy, W. H. Auden and Elizabeth Bowen rub shoulders with
Yousif M. Qasmiyeh (a contemporary Palestinian poet), Farah Baker
(a Gazan teenager) and the writers behind the pen names Araki
Yasusada and Jiri Kajane. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Textual Practice.
Those who care for the ailing, whether helping someone recover,
grapple with a long-term disability, or face a terminal illness,
often feel alone, overwhelmed, exhausted. William and Nancy Martin
have worked as counselors, hospice trainers, and Zen guides -- and
as caregivers themselves. With empathy and insight, they offer
readers solace drawn from the eternal wisdom of the "Tao Te Ching."
Like the original Chinese text, this book contains eighty-one
chapters. Each chapter includes a poem for caregivers, evocative of
the verses of the "Tao Te Ching," followed by a reflection that
presents practical guidance for navigating the emotional and
physical hardships of caregiving. The resulting resource gently
awakens readers to the grace, growth, and even joy possible at each
step along their path.

El trabajo a domicilio ha sido realizado por las mujeres
historicamente, como un intento por conciliar su vida laboral y
familiar. Los empresarios de las maquilas de confeccion de ropa en
Tehuacan, Puebla, han aprovechado esta necesidad para reducir los
costos de produccion de sus empresas. Lo que ha originado la
vulnerabilidad y precariedad del trabajo de estas mujeres. Con ello
el estudio del trabajo a domicilio vuelve a cobrar importancia en
la actualidad. Para dar cuenta de las motivaciones, estrategias y
significados que le asignan las mujeres a esta forma de trabajo,
que no solamente les sirve como una estrategia para mantenerse en
el mercado laboral, debido a las presiones sociales y culturales
por cumplir con los roles que se les ha sido asignado
historicamente como madres y esposas. Sino tambien como un claro
ejemplo de su deseo de desenvolverse en otros ambitos de su vida,
con deseos de independencia y desarrollo personal. Pero marcados
por un contexto de explotacion y asalaramiento disfrazado. Este
estudio tiene como finalidad rescatar la experiencia de estas
mujeres como creadoras de opciones laborales en situaciones de
vulnerabilidad."
El proposito del presente trabajo fue proponer un modelo tectonico
que permitiera caracterizar la genesis del Grupo Choiyoi. Para eso
se realizaron estudios petrograficos, geoquimicos y estructurales,
que lograron sentar las bases para sustentar el modelo geodinamico
propuesto. La zona elegida para la realizacion del presente
estudio, se situa en los alrededores de la localidad de
Potrerillos, sector noreste del cordon del Plata, Cordillera
Frontal de Mendoza. La secuencia ignea estudiada, integrada por
brechas y coladas andesiticas, ignimbritas liticas, cristalinas y
vitreas, flujos lavicos rioliticos, riodaciticos y basalticos e
intrusivos graniticos, se formo con posterioridad a la fase
orogenica San Rafael y como consecuencia de cambios en el angulo de
subduccion a traves del tiempo."
