Curated Fiction presents a new theory and methodology for developing, drafting and refining creative writing. At the intersection of literary studies and creative writing, this book develops a new theory for analysing how novelists use narrative point-of-view to direct readers’ trust. The book defines the parameters and practice of one possible approach to the creative development of a work of long-form fiction. The value underpinning this approach will be drawn from the theories that inform it, such as Irene Kacandes’s work on Talk Fiction, Bakhtinian concepts of polyphony and Gerald Prince’s concept of the Disnarrated. Offering critical analyses of existing literary works, such as Waterland and As I Lay Dying, Curated Fiction will afford examination of theory in practice, in differing literary forms and contexts before making practical connections with the craft of writing through the analysis of an original short story, 'Foxes'.
Avoiding Collisions was inspired by an ancient Sanskrit chant and is informed by a study of the nine layers of consciousness and the interconnectedness of time. The book features poetry and song lyrics inspired by the daily initiatory experiences of modern life. Each layer explores the patterns that link sound, everyday life, and the invisible mystical fields that propel thought. Providing insights about the inherent power of harmonic frequencies with intuitive explorations into dream states and dimensional shifts, this book is a unique and valuable record of the internal processes that provide a reason to put pen to paper.
The eleven best entries from the Tasmanian Writers' Prize 2020 as judged by Lian Tanner, Cameron Hindrum and Don Defenderfer. "The stories in this collection work to refract time and memory in compelling ways-and in doing so, they also serve the connecting thread of this year's competition, that of "an island or island-resonant theme". The inherent invitation to dynamic interpretation underscores these stories and there is much satisfaction found in considering the ways in which this year's anthologised writers have imbued their work with such literal or metaphorical resonances". Cameron Hindrum, Tasmanian author, playwright, poet
"Zoological Record is published annually in separate sections. The first of these is Comprehensive Zoology, followed by sections recording a year's literature relating to a Phylum or Class of the Animal Kingdom. The final section contains the new genera and subgenera indexed in the volume." Each section of a volume lists the sections of that volume.
This book aims to synthesize the state of the art on biodiversity knowledge exchange practices to understand where and how improvements can be made to close the knowledge-implementation gap in conservation science and advance this interdisciplinary topic. Bringing together the most prominent scholars and practitioners in the field, the book looks into the various sources used to produce biodiversity knowledge - from natural and social sciences to Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Citizen Science - as well as knowledge mobilization approaches to highlight the key ingredients that render successful conservation action at a global scale. By doing so, the book identified major current challenges and opportunities in the field, for different sectors that generate, mobilize, and use biodiversity knowledge (like academia, boundary organizations, practitioners, and policy-makers), to further develop cross-sectorial knowledge mobilization strategies and enhance evidence-informed decision-making processes globally.
