Where Writing Begins: A Postmodern Reconstruction (Rhetorical Philosophy & Theory) By Michael Carter PhD 2003 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 0809325209 | PDF | 2 MB Where Writing Begins: A Postmodern Reconstruction is an innovative approach to the postmodern dilemma in rhetoric and composition that offers a positive and postmodern pedagogy that redefines and revalues writing and the teaching of writing through reconstructive, postmodern thought. The result is a fresh understanding of both the field of composition and writing instruction.Drawing on the rich potential of "beginning" as a philosophical concept, Michael Carter asks the simple question: Where does writing begin? His findings take readers first to a new view of what it means to begin, and then to a new understanding of writing and teaching writing based on the redefined beginning. Challenging conventional notions that posit "beginning" as a chronological and temporal concept, he instead advocates an ontological and philosophical approach, in which "beginning" embodies both deconstruction and reconstruction-and the very possibility of newness.Adding to a growing body of rhetorical scholarship in postmodern reconstruction, Where Writing Begins illustrates that writing must be understood within the framework of deconstruction and reconstruction. Writing, then, may be newly defined and valued as beginning. Weaving together conceptual, structural, and methodological patterns, Carter's study is also a journey through the history of philosophy and rhetoric that will leave readers feeling refreshed and teachers eager to return to their classes.  Where Are You From? Middle-Class Migrants in the Modern World By Dhooleka S. Raj 2003 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 0520233824 | PDF | 2 MB Dhooleka S. Raj explores the complexities of ethnic minority cultural change in this incisive examination of first- and second-generation middle-class South Asian families living in London. Challenging prevalent understandings of ethnicity that equate community, culture, and identity, Raj considers how transnational ethnic minorities are circumscribed by nostalgia for culture. Where Are You From? argues that the nostalgia for culture obscures the complexities of change in migrant minority lives and limits the ways the politics of diversity can be imagined by the nation. Based on ethnographic research with Indian migrants and their children, this book examines how categories of identity, culture, community, and nation are negotiated and often equated.  When to Stop the Cheering?: The Black Press, the Black Community, and the Integration of Professional Baseball (Studies in African American History and Culture) By Brian Carroll 2006 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0415979382 | PDF | 10 MB *Finalist for the 2007 Seymour Medal of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR).* *Winner of the 2007 Robert Peterson Book Award of theNegro Leagues Committee of the Society for American Baseball* When to Stop the Cheering? documents the close and often conflicted relationship between the black press and black baseball beginning with the first Negro professional league of substance, the Negro National League, which started in 1920, and finishing with the dissolution ofthe Negro American League in 1957. When to Stop the Cheering? examines the multidimensional relationship the black newspapers had with baseball, including their treatment of and relationships with baseball officials, team owners, players and fans. Over time, these relationships changed, resulting in shifts in coverage that could be described as moving from brotherhood to paternalism, then from paternalism to nostalgic tribute and even regret.  When a Human Gives Birth to a Raven: Rabbis and the Reproduction of Species by Rafael Rachel Neis English | 2023 | ISBN: 0520391195 | 342 Pages | True ePUB | 12.6 MB  When a Human Gives Birth to a Raven: Rabbis and the Reproduction of Species by Rafael Rachel Neis English | 2023 | ISBN: 0520391195 | 342 Pages | True PDF | 12.6 MB  When Language Breaks Down: Analysing Discourse in Clinical Contexts By Elissa D. Asp, Jessica de de Villiers 2010 | 270 Pages | ISBN: 0521718244 | PDF | 3 MB Doctors, nurses, and other caregivers often know what people with Alzheimer's disease or Asperger's 'sound like' - that is they recognise patterns in people's discourse, from sounds and silences, to words, sentences and story structures. Such discourse patterns may inform their clinical judgements and affect the decisions they make. However, this knowledge is often tacit, like recognising a regional accent without knowing how to describe its features. This is the first book to present models for comprehensively describing discourse specifically in clinical contexts and to illustrate models with detailed analyses of discourse patterns associated with degenerative (Alzheimer's) and developmental (autism spectrum) disorders. The book is aimed not only at advanced students and researchers in linguistics, discourse analysis, speech pathology and clinical psychology but also at researchers, clinicians and caregivers for whom explicit knowledge of discourse patterns might be helpful.
