Linguistics, Literature and Culture
This book documents the changing realities in the fields of linguistics, literature and culture in Asia, resulting from globalization, modernisation and rapid technological development. It consists of sixteen essays by academics and researchers around the world, reflecting on the interface between the global and the local, and its impact on the local and regional languages, literatures and cultures of Asia. This scenario, which exemplifies language contact in action, is captured by the book mainly to demonstrate that linguistic negotiations, appropriations and indeed changes are not one-way. As such, their implications on language use, language choice, language policy and planning, literacy and pedagogy, identity, subjectivity and culture need to be closely examined. The uniqueness of this book lies in its attempt to showcase original research in a variety of multicultural settings. Its multi- and cross-disciplinary approach will appeal to a wide spectrum of readers from diverse backgrounds. This book will serve as a useful reference that is both scholarly and informative for researchers as well as academics in the fields of linguistics, literature and culture.
Dramatic Interactions
Dramatic Interactions is a collection of essays on the flourishing and interdisciplinary subject of teaching foreign languages, literatures, and cultures through theater. With rich examples from a variety of commonly and less commonly taught languages, this book affirms both the relevance and effectiveness of using theater for foreign language learning in the most comprehensive sense of the term. It includes innovative approaches to specific theatrical texts and addresses numerous aspects of foreign language learning such as oral proficiency and communication, intercultural competence, the role of affect and motivation in foreign language study, multiple literacies, regional variations and dialect, literary analysis and adaptation, and the overall liberating effects of verbal and non-verbal self-expression in the foreign language. Dramatic Interactions renders accessible, efficacious, and enjoyable the study of languages, literatures, and cultures through theater with the hope of inspiring and facilitating the greater incorporation of theatrical texts and techniques in foreign language courses at every level.
The Moral Psychology of Boredom
Whether we like it or not, boredom is a major part of human life. It permeates our personal, social, practical, and moral existence. It shapes our world by demarcating what is engaging, interesting, or meaningful from what is not. It also sets us in motion insofar as its presence can motivate us to act in a plethora of ways. Indeed, in our search for engagement, interest, or meaning, our responses to boredom straddle the line between the good and the bad, the beneficial and the harmful, the creative and the mundane. In this volume, world-renowned researchers come together to explore a neglected but crucially important aspect of boredom: its relationship to morality. Does boredom cause individuals to commit immoral acts? Does it affect our moral judgment? Does the frequent or chronic experience boredom make us worse people? Is the experience of boredom something that needs to be avoided at all costs? Or can boredom be, at least sometimes, a solution and a positive moral force? The Moral Psychology of Boredom sets out to answer these and other timely questions.

Strange but true
In seguito a una misteriosa caduta nel suo appartamento di Manhattan, Philip Chase è tornato a vivere a casa della madre, Charlene, una donna corrosa dall'incapacità di accettare la tragica morte del figlio minore, Ronnie, avvenuta cinque anni prima. Impacciato dal gesso e irritato dalle continue frecciate della madre, Philip passa le giornate sul divano, sprofondato nel vuoto brusio della tv. Tutto cambia una sera d'inverno, quando la fidanzata di Ronnie si presenta sulla soglia di casa per annunciare di essere incinta. E il padre, sostiene, è proprio Ronnie, il defunto fratello di Philip. Comincia così, con quella che pare a tutti gli effetti la fantasia malata di una giovane donna dis...

Sei gru cremisi
Shiori'anma, unica figlia femmina dell'imperatore di Kiata, nasconde un segreto: nelle sue vene scorre la magia proibita. È sempre riuscita a tenerla nascosta, fino a quando, proprio durante la cerimonia per il suo fidanzamento, non perde il controllo. La cosa inizialmente sembra un colpo di fortuna, che le consente di posticipare un matrimonio che non ha mai voluto; ma quell'errore attira anche l'attenzione della sua matrigna Raikama. Nonostante sia lei stessa una strega, la donna bandisce la figliastra dal regno e trasforma i suoi sei fratelli in gru. La ragazza non dovrà parlare con nessuno: per ogni parola che pronuncerà, uno dei principi morirà. Senza un soldo, senza voce, senza amici, Shiori va in cerca dei fratelli e scopre un complotto per prendere il potere. Lei sola può salvare il regno, ma per farlo dovrà fidarsi di un uccello di carta, un drago volubile e il ragazzo che proprio non voleva sposare. Ma soprattutto dovrà abbracciare quella magia che per tutta la vita le hanno imposto di tenere a bada. Costi quel che costi.
