Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: """Trouvaille"", the international poetry anthology consisting poems of 15 poets of international fame tries to unite the poets of the East and West for the cause of humanitarian understanding and goodwill.Here diverse thoughts, expressions and viewpoints are mingled together to redeem universal brotherhood.In these days of all-out degradation , this anthology stands for transnational fraternity, fellowship and acceptance of the age-old dictum of human bonding to rescue human civilization from the threshold of deluge.Readers of all age groups, coming from cross-cultural background after reading this book will be swayed by unfathomable emotional outrage . Each poem included in this international treasure of creative minds called, ""Trouvaille"" brings to mind a benumbed sensation of joy and jollity embedded in poetic terms.One of the outstanding features of this book is that, it contains 15 numbers of translated Odia poems .And the readers will invariably see how the fountain of thoughts flow underneath surpassing geographical and socio-cultural divisions.English versions of these poems are also included in this anthology to suit the ecstatic needs of our esteemed readers. This poetry anthology is not judgemental , rather it seeks to provide an even playing field for the readers to feel and think.Our readers will be at the helm of truth or nearer to bigger truths and greater realisation after going through the glossy pages of this book.'Guernica' may not have recruited soldiers to the Spanish cause, but it definitely did harness the conscience of the world. And I presume, ""Trouvaille"" will play this type of role effectively.The present world is giving lip service to the very idea of social and environmental justice and profit in lieu of any cost has become the norm. Hence we are required to sing our songs in the face of all varieties of hurdles that threaten our very living , to guard ourselves against the evil forces of parochialism and intolerance. As all of us know, poetry by itself cannot change the world, but can create an ambience for dialogue on the lines of that change by hammering on our human instincts like values of compassion, empathy, camaraderie and shared common humanitarian goals.It is considered one among the basic and towering defense against our ill fate and misdeeds.Albeit chaos of all sorts, a gloomy atmosphere, poetry has the guts to rejuvenate the human soul .Leonardo da Vinci once said, painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.Our wishful readers, I can bet, will embark on a journey of aesthetic feelings while going through virgin pages of ,"" Trouvaille"". This is our humble initiative to enjoin broken hearts of humanity, to ensure bridging of different cultures and uniting nations through words , thereby paving the way for cross cultural diversity. The voice of poets included in this poetry anthology will help to transform earthly lies into meaningful aphorisms.I am optimistic that this book will become one of the most acclaimed means to bring us out of the global problems.Hope the readers will find this book very much fascinating and valuable in spreading the gospels of humanity through out our planet.After taking a holy dip in this confluence of divine poetic thoughts camouflaged as brooks , they will bring back home only serenity for sure. I am sure,""Trouvaille"", the edited poetry anthology will be considered as a lucky find for our beloved readers and they will treat it as their trusted companion for ever."

Book Synopsis English Studies in India by : Banibrata Mahanta
Download or read book English Studies in India written by Banibrata Mahanta and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-03 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of scholarly papers that explore the complex issues concerning English Studies in the present Indian context. The discussions in this volume range from historical perspectives to classroom-specific pedagogies, from sociological and political hierarchies to the dynamics of intellectual development in the English language environment. Interrogating both policy and practice pertaining to English Studies in the context of Indian society, culture, history, literature and governance, the chapters seek to formulate contemporary perspectives to these debates and envision alternative possibilities. Since the introduction of English to India more than 2 centuries ago, the language has transmuted the very fabric of Indian society, culture, history, literature and governance. The idea of India cannot be conceived in its entirety without taking into consideration the epistemological role that English has played in its formation. The present globalized world order has added dimensions to English Studies which are radically different from those of India’s colonial and postcolonial past. It is therefore imperative that the multitudinous shades and shadows of the discipline be re-examined with inputs drawn from the present context. This volume is for scholars and researchers of English literature and language studies, linguistics, and culture studies, and others interested in exploring new paradigms of engagement with the disciplinary formulation of English Studies in India.

Book Synopsis Ethnic Modernism and the Making of US Literary Multiculturalism by : Leif Sorensen
Download or read book Ethnic Modernism and the Making of US Literary Multiculturalism written by Leif Sorensen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic Modernism and the Making of US Multiculturalism in which ethnic literary modernists of the 1930s play a crucial role. Focusing on the remarkable careers of four ethnic fiction writers of the 1930s (Younghill Kang, D'Arcy McNickle, Zora Neale Hurston, and Américo Paredes) Sorensen presents a new view of the history of multicultural literature in the U.S. The first part of the book situates these authors within the modernist era to provide an alternative, multicultural vision of American modernism. The second part examines the complex reception histories of these authors' works, showing how they have been claimed or rejected as ancestors for contemporary multiethnic writing. Combining the approaches of the new modernist studies and ethnic studies, the book.
Download or read book Hybrid Modernity written by Mary Padua and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-26 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed historical and design analysis of the development of parks and modern landscape architecture in late 20th century China. It questions whether the fusion of international influences with the local Chinese design vocabulary in late 20th century China has created a distinctive and novel approach to the design of public parks. Hybrid Modernity proposes a new theory for examining the design of public parks built in post-Mao China since the reforms and sets the various processes for China’s late 20th century socio-cultural context. Drawing on modernization theory, research on China’s modernity, local and global cultural trends, it illustrates through a range of case studies ways hybrid modernity defines a new design genre and language for the spatial forms of parks that emerged in China’s secondary cities. Featured case studies include the Living Water Park in Chengdu, Sichuan province, Zhongshan Shipyard Park in Guangdong Province, Jinji Lake Landscape Master Plan in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, and the West Lake Southern Scenic Area Master Plan in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. This book argues that these forms represent a new stage in China’s history of landscape architecture. The work reveals that as a new profession, landscape architecture has greatly contributed to China’s massive urban experiment. This book is an ideal read for students enrolled in landscape architecture, architecture, fine arts and urban planning programs who are engaged in learning the arts and international design education.

Book Synopsis Queering Tribal Folktales from East and Northeast India by : Kaustav Chakraborty
Download or read book Queering Tribal Folktales from East and Northeast India written by Kaustav Chakraborty and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores queer potentialities in the tribal folktales of India. It elucidates the queer elements in the oral narratives of four indigenous communities from East and Northeast India, which are found to be significant repositories of gender fluidity and non-normative desires. Departing from the popular understanding that ‘Otherness’ results largely from undue exposure to Western permissiveness, the author reveals how minority sexualities actually have their roots in aboriginal indigenous cultures and do not necessarily constitute a mimicry of the West. The volume endeavours to demystify the politics behind such vindictive propagation to sensitize the queerphobic mainstream about the essential endogenous presence of the queer in the spaces that are aboriginal. Based on extensive interdisciplinary research, this book is a first of its kind in the study of indigenous queer narratives. It will be useful to scholars and researchers of queer studies, gender studies, tribal and indigenous studies, literature, cultural studies, postcolonialism, sociology, political studies and South Asian studies.
Book Synopsis Border Folk Balladeers by : Roberto Cantú

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Américo Paredes distinguished himself as a journalist, novelist, short story writer, poet, folklorist, and as Professor of English and Anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin. Admired as one of the inspiring founders of Mexican American Studies in colleges and universities across the United States, Paredes’ life-long interest in Mexican-American history and culture motivated him during his early years to collect corridos from farmers and villagers living on the Lower Rio Grande, resulting in his pioneering book “With His Pistol in His Hand”: A Border Ballad and Its Hero (1958), and in other books on folklore, poetry, and narrative fiction. Border Folk Balladeers: Critical Studies on Américo Paredes is a book of significant value to scholars, teachers, students, and to the general reader interested in the history and culture of Mexicans and Mexican Americans born on both sides of the Mexico-US border. It contains a full-length introduction and eleven essays written exclusively for this volume by scholars in the fields of folklore, literary criticism, and critical race theory, and who are renowned authorities on the work of Américo Paredes. Grouped into three sections, this book includes studies on theories of the Texas Modern; the Latin American critical tradition; border writing in world literatures; ethnography in minority communities; an analysis of Texas-Mexican border jokelore; and, among other critical studies, a comprehensive probe into the international drug traffic in the Mexico-US border, with an emphasis on narcoballads and narconovels, the contemporary offshoots of the Texas-Mexican border corrido.
