The Dark Chocolate Art of C. D. Aleman
Carlos Aleman (born in New York City in 1965) is a Cuban American. He is a designer, writer and fine artist. He uses the term Dark Chocolate to describe the 'darkness' that the ancient mystics passed through in order to discover the profound hidden beneath superficialities. Dark Chocolate is the finest of chocolates, a way of suspending our judgment of the sins of humanity and perceiving the wonder of art, culture and tradition. His personal story accompanies this retrospective of drawings, painting and kokeshi dolls.
Death After Kyoto
Emily Patrick is a twenty four year old woman who travels to Kyoto and experiences reverse culture shock when she returns to the US and misses the warm social customs of the Japanese. Feeling lost, she slips into despair until taking a day off from work to attend the opening of Art Basel in Miami Beach. She meets the eccentric artist, Simeon Susluv, who invites her to a gathering of like-minded people. The next day, she is found dead in a park lying within a circle of pages ripped out of her drawing book. Detectives Ryan Salter and Kim Ramos arrive at the scene of the murder. Although there's not a trace of physical evidence, they find enough information on her phone to know that Simeon Suslov was one of the last people to see Emily Patrick alive. The detectives go to an Art Basel event Suslov is scheduled to be at and question him. They discover that Emily had been accepted into a society of secretive individuals that meet to tell each other Japanese ghost stories... The perfect book if you're into mysteries, Japanese ghost stories, secret societies, decadent detectives, ASMR, cyber-stalkers, eccentrics and twisted justice
Family Communication and Cultural Transformation
Building on their past work in race and family communication, Rhunette C. Diggs and Thomas J. Socha gather in this volume contemporary theory and research concerning ways that families use communication to transform inherited cultural legacies for the better (Communication 3.0). The book expands the field of communication’s understanding of the life-long impact that family communication has on the managing diverse and clashing cultural relationships, identities, meanings, and communication practices. It spotlights the economically disenfranchised alongside the economically secure, the systematically oppressed next to beneficiaries of Whiteness, and those actually or metaphorically killed and or threatened by violence and hateful systems outside of home. Together, the contributions address omissions of diverse family contexts in family communication research and reconsider qualitative and quantitative approaches that bring respect and equality to the participant-researcher relationship. This book is suitable as a supplementary text for courses in family communication, family studies, race and ethnicity in communication, and intergroup communication.
Pedagogy of Vulnerability
The purpose of this text is to elicit discussion, reflection, and action specific to pedagogy within education, especially higher education, and circles of experiential learning, community organizing, conflict resolution and youth empowerment work. Vulnerability itself is not a new term within education; however the pedagogical imperatives of vulnerability are both undertheorized in educational discourse and underexplored in practice. This work builds on that of Edward Brantmeier in Re-Envisioning Higher Education: Embodied Pathways to Wisdom and Transformation (Lin, Oxford, & Brantmeier, 2013). In his chapter, “Pedagogy of vulnerability: Definitions, assumptions, and application,” he ou...
