![]() Free Download Stephanie Palmer, "New Perspectives on Mary E. Wilkins Freeman: Reading with and against the Grain " English | ISBN: 1399504479 | 2023 | 312 pages | PDF | 7 MB Freeman is best known today for her short regionalist fiction. Recently, Freeman studies have taken new turns including ecocriticism, trauma studies, the Gothic, and queer theory. The essay collection pushes these developments further. Contributors aim at revisiting and going beyond Freeman's regionalism. They challenge earlier feminist readings of the female realm by arguing that her short fiction and novels depict women and girls as violent and criminal, suffocating as well as nurturing; they bring to light questions of race and ethnicity that have been conspicuously absent from scholarship on Freeman, as well as issues of class. Because questions of women's work are central to Freeman's oeuvre, this collection discusses Freeman's acumen as a businesswoman herself, a participant as well as a castigator of turn-of-the-century US capitalism. Finally, essays reconsider the periodization of Freeman by exploring her little acknowledged post-1902 and therefore post-marriage fiction―her war stories and her urban stories. ![]() Free Download New Perspectives Collection, Microsoft 365 & Excel 2021 Comprehensive by Patrick Carey English | September 23, 2022 | ISBN: 0357672224 | True PDF | 818 pages | 45.4 MB Using a unique in-depth, case-based approach, Cengage's New Perspectives Collection, Microsoft 365 & Excel 2021: Comprehensive helps you prepare for the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification exam - and success in your future career. ![]() Free Download Vasiliki Misiou, "New Paths in Theatre Translation and Surtitling " English | ISBN: 1032213302 | 2023 | 264 pages | EPUB | 4 MB This collection provides an in-depth exploration of surtitling for theatre and its potential in enhancing accessibility and creativity in both the production and reception of theatrical performances. ![]() Free Download Peng Lan, "New Media Users in China I " English | ISBN: 103254872X | 2023 | 214 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 5 MB As the first volume of a two-volume set on new media users in China, this book approaches the subject from a macro level by regarding users as constructive nodes within networks, thereby giving insights into the interaction between users and new media and among individuals within the ambit of new media. ![]() Free Download Jeff Rice, "New Media / New Methods: The Academic Turn from Literacy to Electracy" English | 2008 | pages: 315 | ISBN: 1602350639, 1602350647 | PDF | 2,3 mb The essays in NEW MEDIA/NEW METHODS: THE ACADEMIC TURN FROM LITERACY TO ELECTRACY pose an invention-based approach to new media studies. Representing a specific school of theory emergent in graduates of the University of Florida and working from the concept of electracy, as opposed to literacy, contributors present various heuristics for elaborating new media rhetoric and theory. NEW MEDIA/NEW METHODS challenges literacy-based understandings of new media, which typically pose such work as hermeneutics or textual interpretation. Rather than grounding their work in hermeneutics, contributors rely on heuretics, or invention, to outline new modes of scholarly discourse reflective of and adapted to digital culture. Contributors include Ron Broglio, Elizabeth Coffman, Denise K. Cummings, Bradley Dilger, Michelle Glaros, Michael Jarrett, Barry Jason Mauer, Marcel O'Gorman, Robert Ray, Jeff Rice, Craig Saper, and Gregory L. Ulmer.

Rubchak (ed.) 2015 | 330 Pages | ISBN: 1789205212 | PDF | 3 MB Having been spared the constraints imposed on intellectual discourse by the totalitarian regime of the past, young Ukrainian scholars now engage with many Western ideological theories and practices in an atmosphere of intellectual freedom and uncensored scholarship. Displacing the Soviet legacy of prescribed thought and practices, this volume's female contributors have infused their work with Western elements, although vestiges of Soviet-style ideas, research methodology, and writing linger. The result is the articulation of a "New Imaginaries" ― neither Soviet nor Western ― that offers a unique approach to the study of gender by presenting a portrait of Ukrainian society as seen through the eyes of a new generation of feminist scholars.Review"Without doubt, this volume offers pioneering contributions and fills gaps on the subject of women in the Ukraine. It thus contributes to opening up a new era in the research on gender in the Ukraine. It is obvious that we can count on Rubchak to continue gathering publications on women in the Ukraine, and we look forward to reading the analyses of the cultural changes to come." * Genre & Histoire"[These are] excellent contributions to gender studies in Ukraine...It is hoped that Rubchak or other scholars studying women and gender in Ukraine will follow up this important work with contributions that assess the state of that field in post-Euromaidan Ukraine." * Slavic and East European Journal"...a complex and well‐researched volume that raises critical questions about the nature of contemporary cultural and political shifts in Ukraine and offers some worthy fresh ideas and views. The book might be of interest to different groups of readers, ranging from those from within Ukraine, who might want to look at themselves through the looking glass, to scholars and journalists who have a professional interest in the country or are just seeking a short but thorough summary of the local cultural and political landscapes." * Journal of Soviet & Post-Soviet Politics & Society"Instead of pointing out how 'different' Ukrainian feminism/gender studies/women's studies is from 'Western' (or other) feminisms, this volume has potential to contribute to our understanding of the exciting and complex ways that feminist thought travels as one of the most important 'ideascapes' (à la Appadurai) of our time." * Sarah D. Phillips, Indiana University"All the chapters comprise intelligent, well-researched discussions of inherently significant issues in Ukraine [and] relevant to a number of societies and cultures throughout the world." * Michael Naydan, Penn State University"... [the chapters] convincingly illustrate cultural shifts that occurred in Ukraine since independence and fit a paradigm of 'New Imaginaries,' as envisioned by the editor, namely bringing to light those qualities that are often associated with postcolonial societies and labeled as cultural hybridity." * Maria G.
