Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE • A “formally daring, emotionally devastating, and deeply political” (The New York Times Book Review) exploration of personal grief through the prism of the color white, from the internationally bestselling author of The Vegetarian “Stunningly beautiful writing . . . delicate and gorgeous . . . one of the smartest reflections on what it means to remember those we’ve lost.”—NPR While on a writer’s residency, a nameless narrator focuses on the color white to creatively channel her inner pain. Through lyrical, interconnected stories, she grapples with the tragedy that has haunted her family, attempting to make sense of her older sister’s death using the color white. From trying to imagine her mother’s first time producing breast milk to watching the snow fall and meditating on the impermanence of life, she weaves a poignant, heartfelt story of the omnipresence of grief and the ways we perceive the world around us. In captivating, starkly beautiful language, The White Book offers a multilayered exploration of color and its absence, of the tenacity and fragility of the human spirit, and of our attempts to graft new life from the ashes of destruction.

Download or read book Garcian Meditations written by Jon Cogburn and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of Form and Object: A Treatise on Things by Tristan Garcia, Prix de Flore-winning novelist, philosopher, essayist, and screenwriter is a genuine event in the history of philosophy. Situating this event within classical, modern and contemporary dialectical space, Jon Cogburn evaluates Garcia's metaphysics, differential ontology, and militant anti-reductionism through a series of seemingly incompatible oppositions: substance/process, analysis/dialectic, simple/whole and discovery/creation. ogburn also includes a critical assessment of the consequences of Garcia's philosophy, the various unresolved problems in his treatise and the future prospects of speculative metaphysics.
Book Synopsis The Short Story after Apartheid by : Graham K. Riach
Download or read book The Short Story after Apartheid written by Graham K. Riach and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Short Story after Apartheid offers the first major study of the anglophone short story in South Africa since apartheid’s end. By focusing on the short story this book complicates models of South African literature dominated by the novel and contributes to a much-needed generic and formalist turn in postcolonial studies. Literary texts are sites of productive struggle between formal and extra-formal concerns, and these brief, fragmentary, elliptical, formally innovative stories offer perspectives that reframe or revise important concerns of post-apartheid literature: the aesthetics of engaged writing, the politics of the past, class and race, the legacies of violence, and the struggle over the land. Through an analysis of key texts from the period by Nadine Gordimer, Ivan Vladislavić, Zoë Wicomb, Phaswane Mpe, and Henrietta Rose-Innes, this book assesses the place of the short story in post-apartheid writing and develops a fuller model of how artworks allow and disallow forms of social thought.

Book Synopsis Against the Tide by : Kolski Horwitz
Download or read book Against the Tide written by Kolski Horwitz and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013-12-29 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four plays that make up this collection Thabo Mbeki and Other Nightmares by Tsepo wa-Mamatu; Circles by Tau Maserumule; Comrade Babble by Allan Kolski Horwitz; My Life in the Bush of Ghosts by Lesego Rampolokeng/Liepollo Rantekoa, Stacy Hardy and Jaco Bouwer; The Life and Times of Brett Kebble by Patrick Bond, have, as a linking thread, their confrontation with the ongoing corruption and mismanagement that characterizes the not-so-new liberated South Africa. Stylistically quite different, each breaks new ground in presenting these debilitating features and while tackling political themes head-on, never degenerates into mere sloganeering or counter-propaganda. Indeed, they take contemporary South African playwriting to new heights of 'committed theatre'.
Book Synopsis White Light Meditation by : Sunetra Basu
Download or read book White Light Meditation written by Sunetra Basu and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first of Danya Basu's exclusive White Light Series of books available worldwide. It teaches a special meditation called White Light Meditation. Powerful, short and simple, this meditation is practical in that it takes only ten to fifteen minutes a day, and unique in that it helps manifest our dreams and aspirations by empowering our thoughts, stimulating analytical thinking, magnifying and expressing our dormant capabilities, and attracting the necessary resources from known and unknown directions. The book is equally helpful for beginners, who do not know how to meditate, as well as for those who practice meditation regularly. White Light is the highest cosmic vibration that is invisible, omnipresent and accessible to everyone, although we might be unaware of its presence. White Light Meditation does not need initiation or expert supervision. You can access the White Light simply by 'intending' that it come to you. Regular practice of this meditation infuses divine manifesting power into the subtle energies of our thoughts and wishes, thus triggering a positive chain of events, and steering us on to reaching the desired goal(s). Owing to its open approach, White Light Meditation happens spontaneously irrespective of whether one is by nature spiritual or not. A ten to fifteen minute daily White Light Meditation routine is what is needed to continue the process of transformation with the White Light, and thus bring the desired improvements in your life. For almost two decades, the author (previously published as Sunetra Basu) has been meditating with the White Light, manifesting positive results for her clients and students. In this book she shares the sacred knowledge of accessing the White Light and wishes that all her readers would learn and practice this phenomenal spiritual exercise from the step-by-step simple instructions. Danya has also published a second, advanced course book on White Light titled 'White Light Healing Meditation Course'.
Book Synopsis Three Word Meditation by : Robert Felix
Download or read book Three Word Meditation written by Robert Felix and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the Gnostic (self-knowledge) traditions were purged from Christianity in the Fourth Century AD, the church has been a gatekeeper of faith. But people today are curious about the differences between fixed, dogmatic truths offered by religious authority and inner, personal and adaptable truths discovered from within. Now, author Robert Felix has written a work that brings these external and internal worlds together in order to help you achieve a closer connection to the Divine. An historical oversight of Western religions, Felix contends, is that they teach us how to talk to God without teaching the equally important skill of how to listen to God. Here, Felix shows how to combine Western styles of prayer with Eastern meditation techniques. With prayer you discover the unique characteristics of your personality while meditation enables you to hear answers in the form of new, creative solutions to the concerns and goals you face. With this practice, you can intentionally alter your mind for the better. Felix writes, "Because you are unique, no one can create your pathway to Divine Love but you. Everyone communicates with God in a personal space, inside themselves. You have to find your own 'God within' and then the Highest Source will help you in profound, life changing ways." After forty years of research and practice, Felix has found that these techniques enhance the ability to feel God's Pure Love. The Three Word Meditation approach creates partnerships between the verbal skills of your analytical brain and the holistic skills of your intuitive brain. They form the basis of the most cherished partnerships of all--the partnerships between you, Pure Love, and all of earth's life. A rainbow of advice for personal wellness and spiritual growth. With all of its talk of partnerships, productivity, and growth, it¿s difficult to imagine a more pragmatic approach to meditation. Useful for those seeking a neat path to achieving inner balance. -Kirkus Discoveries
Book Synopsis The Secrets of Buddhist Meditation by : Eric M. Greene
Download or read book The Secrets of Buddhist Meditation written by Eric M. Greene and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2021-01-31 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 400s, numerous Indian and Central Asian Buddhist “meditation masters” (chanshi) traveled to China, where they established the first enduring traditions of Buddhist meditation practice in East Asia. The forms of contemplative practice that these missionaries brought with them, and which their Chinese students further developed, remained for several centuries the basic understanding of “meditation” (chan) in China. Although modern scholars and readers have long been familiar with the approaches to meditation of the Chan (Zen) School that later became so popular throughout East Asia, these earlier and in some ways more pervasive forms of practice have long been overlooked or ignored. This volume presents a comprehensive study of the content and historical formation, as well as complete English translations, of two of the most influential manuals in which these approaches to Buddhist meditation are discussed: the Scripture on the Secret Essential Methods of Chan (Chan Essentials) and the Secret Methods for Curing Chan Sickness (Methods for Curing). Translated here into English for the first time, these documents reveal a distinctly visionary form of Buddhist meditation whose goal is the acquisition of concrete, symbolic visions attesting to the practitioner’s purity and progress toward liberation. Both texts are “apocryphal” scriptures: Taking the form of Indian Buddhist sutras translated into Chinese, they were in fact new compositions, written or at least assembled in China in the first half of the fifth century. Though written in China, their historical significance extends beyond the East Asian context as they are among the earliest written sources anywhere to record certain kinds of information about Buddhist meditation that hitherto had been the preserve of oral tradition and personal initiation. To this extent they indeed divulge, as their titles claim, the “secrets” of Buddhist meditation. Through them, we witness a culture of Buddhist meditation that has remained largely unknown but which for many centuries was widely shared across North India, Central Asia, and China.
Book Synopsis White on White/black on Black by : George Yancy
Download or read book White on White/black on Black written by George Yancy and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White on White/Black on Black is a unique contribution to the philosophy of race. The book explores how fourteen philosophers, seven white and seven black, philosophically understand the dynamics of the process of racialization. Combined, the contributions demonstrate different and similar conceptual trajectories of raced identities that emerge from within and across the racial divide. Each of the fourteen philosophers, who share a textual space of exploration, name blackness/whiteness, revealing significant political, cultural, and existential aspects of what it means to be black/white. Through the power of naming and theorizing whiteness and blackness, White on White/Black on Black dares to bring clarity and complexity to our understanding of race identity.

Book Synopsis Botsotso 20: Drama by : Horwitz, Allan Kolski

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Botsotso literary journal started in 1996 as a monthly 4 page insert in the New Nation, an independent anti-apartheid South African weekly and reached over 80,000 people at a time – largely politisized black workers and youth – with a selection of poems, short stories and short essays that reflected the deep changes taking place in the country at that time. Since the closure of the New Nation in 1999, the journal has evolved into a stand-alone compilation featuring the same mix of genres, and with the addition of photo essays and reviews. The Botsotso editorial policy remains committed to creating a mix of voices which highlight the diverse spectrum of South African identities and languages, particularly those that are dedicated to radical expression and examinations of South Africa's complex society. Botsotso 20: Drama. The Dramas of Life is an anthology of eight South African plays drawn from the last decade (2008 -18) engages with personal dilemmas and social realities. The themes reflect the general unravelling of the 1994 political settlement as racism, poverty and inequality, patriarchy, violence against women and LGBT people, the failure to provide quality education and high levels of corruption expose widening fault lines. They display great energy and dramatic virtuosity in their exploration of these and other themes and create vivid characters who transcend the rhetorical. The plays included are "Isithunzi" by Sipho Zakwe, "Sleeping Dogs" by Simphiwe Vikilahle, "The Good Candidate" by Hans Pienaar, "Shoes and Coups" by Palesa Mazamisa, "Book Marks" by Allan Kolski Horwitz, "The Couch" by Sjaka Septembir, "Iziyalo Zikamama" by the Botsotso Ensemble and "Finding Me" by Moeketsi Kgotle.

Book Synopsis Star Trek and the Tragic Hybrid by : Carolyn Burlingame-Goff
Download or read book Star Trek and the Tragic Hybrid written by Carolyn Burlingame-Goff and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spock, Data, Worf, B'Elanna Torres, Seven of Nine, Odo, Michael Burnham, Soji. Many of Star Trek's most beloved characters are children of two worlds, the products of competing biologies, materials, and cultures. Their popularity is unsurprising: authors mine conflicted identities for dramatic effect, and viewers see their own struggles reflected in the challenges of individuals who never seem to quite fit in. This book demonstrates that the tradition is not new. Spock and his fellow hybrids have their roots in anti-slavery literature. Abolitionist authors introduced protagonists who were both Black and White, yet not fully accepted as either. Divided at their core, the attempts of these noble yet tortured individuals to bridge their two races inevitably ended in tragedy. Gene Roddenberry and his successors thrust the character type into the future, using it to explore the evolving racial attitudes of their times. Star Trek's tragic hybrids have asked audiences to see beyond color, to embrace multiculturism, to accept mixed-race identity, and, finally, to acknowledge the consequences of systemic oppression.
