Breathing the Page
A written work is more than just letters on a page — it is a complex web of relationships. Some, like the relationship between words and phrases, or story and plot, are obvious. Others, such as the way writers interact with their physical tools, or how storytellers convey meaning to an audience, are less apparent. But to write well, one must recognize, understand, and be guided by all of these relationships. In Breathing the Page: Reading the Act of Writing, Betsy Warland takes the reader on her quest to articulate the powerful forces beneath the language of craft. In this collection of essays, Warland reveals that it is the manner in which we encounter these forces that makes, or breaks, ...

O reconhecimento dos direitos de personalidade e a soma dos direitos fundamentais lastreados no princípio-garantia dignidade da pessoa humana não tem sido suficientes para debelar as práticas sociais discriminatórias em virtude de fatores como gênero, idade e deficiência. Persiste no imaginário social, a figura do sujeito de direitos abstrato, inserido na sua normalidade e autonomia insular que findam por diminuir e invisibilizar aquela pessoa que traz consigo um ou vários traços de vulnerabilidade. Quando fatores como gênero e deficiência se associam à certa condição social, nacionalidade e cor, potencializam as práticas de discriminação e de opressão das identidades, desa...

Aboriginality
Following the success of First Invaders (Ronsdale, 2004), Alan Twigg turns his attention to First Nations writers, unearthing more than 300 books by more than 170 mostly unheralded British Columbia aboriginal authors. Taking the reader from residential schools to art galleries, this lively and unprecedented panorama of British Columbia includes trailblazer Pauline Johnson, political organizer George Manuel and Haida carver Bill Reid. Equally important, Aboriginality sheds new light on fascinating, lesser-known figures such as Chief William Sepass, and Howard Adams, to name only two. Nearly half the author profiles are women, including Marilyn Dumont, Lizette Hall and Heather Harris. Each author is presented in historical and chronological context, along with background material on aboriginal history, as well as rare photos, illustrations and a comprehensive bibliography. "Alan Twiggs Aboriginality is unprecedented and indispensable."--Howard White, publisher, Encyclopedia of British Columbia
