Storying Relationships explores the sexual lives of young British
Muslims in their own words and through their own stories. It finds
engaging and surprising stories in a variety of settings: when
young people are chatting with their friends; conversing more
formally within families and communities; scribbling in their
diaries; and writing blogs, poems and books to share or publish.
These stories challenge stereotypes about Muslims, who are
frequently portrayed as unhappy in love and sexually different. The
young people who emerge in this book, contradicting racist and
Islamophobic stereotypes, are assertive and creative, finding and
making their own ways in matters of the body and the heart. Their
stories - about single life, meeting and dating, pressure and
expectations, sex, love, marriage and dreams - are at once specific
to the young British Muslims who tell them, and resonant
reflections of human experience.

pretend to drive.

Grzegorz Niziolek's The Polish Theatre of the Holocaust is a
pioneering analysis of the impact and legacy of the Holocaust on
Polish theatre and society from 1945 to the present. It reveals the
role of theatre as a crucial medium of collective memory - and
collective forgetting - of the trauma of the Holocaust carried out
by the Nazis on Polish soil. The period gave rise to two of the
most radical and influential theatrical ideas during work on
productions that addressed the subject of the Holocaust -
Grotowski's Poor Theatre and Kantor's Theatre of Death - but the
author examines a deeper impact in the role that theatre played in
the processes of collective disavowal to being a witness to others'
suffering. In the first part, the author examines six decades of
Polish theatre shaped by the perspective of the Holocaust in which
its presence is variously visible or displaced. Particular
attention is paid to the various types of distortion and the effect
of 'wrong seeing' enacted in the theatre, as well as the traces of
affective reception: shock, heightened empathy, indifference. In
part two, Niziolek examines a range of theatrical events, including
productions by Leon Schiller, Jerzy Grotowski, Tadeusz Kantor,
Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Warlikowski and Ondrej Spisak. He
considers how these productions confronted the experience of
bearing witness and were profoundly shaped by the legacy of the
Holocaust. The Polish Theatre of the Holocaust reveals how -- by
testifying about society's experience of the Holocaust -- theatre
has been the setting for fundamental processes taking place within
Polish culture as it confronts suppressed traumatic wartime
experiences and a collective identity shaped by the past.
