Laugh Out Loud
If you are determined to stay cool, and positive and survive the negativity of the news and people around you, then this is the book for you, read it and allow yourself to feel healthy emotional changes from the inside out to relieve stress, feel motivated, and find the bright side in any situation fast. Excerpt from Dirty Laundry: “She hung it out there on the line—as if nobody cares, I hated to see her dingy clothes, as she pinned her barely-washed wares. She must not know what she’s doing—I wish she’d get a clue! At least the sun will sanitize— (if only people knew).” Other poems you’ll find inside: · I Dated a Doctor Once · I Want to Delete My Facebook, But . . . · Lunch Date · “Noguchi” And more!! The publisher masterfully combined the best of several brilliant poets into a refreshing book filled with surprises and addictive humor inside Laugh Out Loud.
Rewriting Resistance to Social Justice Pedagogies
Resistance to feminist, queer, and antiracist pedagogies can take many forms in the composition class: silence during class discussion; tepid, bland writing that fails to engage with course content; refusal to engage with feminist and queer ideas; open and direct challenges to professors’ authority. Rewriting Resistance to Social Justice Pedagogies argues that composition studies has not adequately addressed the complex and deeply local contexts and causes of resistance. Therefore, the author argues that resistance research must first understand the origins and purpose for a student’s resistance, interrogating the language used to name and describe students who resist. Composition instructors must then give students the tools to uncover and investigate their reasons for resistance themselves, challenging students to continually interrogate their resistances. This book utilizes feminist composition pedagogies, masculinity studies, and queer pedagogies to engage student resistance in the writing classroom.
The Social Construction of a Cultural Spectacle
The Social Construction of a Cultural Spectacle: Floatzilla concentrates on the tourist element of the Mississippi River with a focus on the media construction of an annual floating event that occurs on the river. Michael O. Johnston shows that the canoeing and kayaking event itself is void of meaning; it is the news media that brings these events to life through real world accounts about a kayaker who nearly collided with a fifty-five-foot yacht, a person dressed up as a pirate with a live parrot as a prop, a guy with a Floatzilla logo tattooed on his hand, and the death of a longtime friend and cornerstone of the event. Johnston draws from research across multiple disciplines to explain how the media constructs the natural and bodily experiences canoers and kayakers say they have while attending Floatzilla. He discusses the importance of meaning and sense of place in maintaining a connectedness between the built environment, nature, and the people who attend this event. Ultimately, the author contends that social meaning is essential for humans to make sense of their surroundings.
