Postcolonial Yearning
Anglophone postcolonial studies has been characterized by its secular nature. Yet as the first generation of scholars grapples with mortality, a yearning for spiritual meaning is emerging in many texts. This study synthesizes the sacred language used in these texts with critical theory in order to create a holistic frame for interpretive analysis.
Acceptance is not Surrender
This is a story about accepting loss rather than getting beaten by it. It's about redefining oneself after a crippling disease by living the ups and downs of self-discovery. Far from giving up, acceptance is living a life of disciplined thought and action, searching for newfound strengths to replace those that have been lost. It's about the strength of the human spirit. It's about perseverance, not only for the survivor but also for those closest to him. It's about relationships and what loss does to test their strength and elasticity. It's finding a way to move forward individually and collectively despite the obstacles. Whether it's changing roles within the family, completing the paperwork for the body's most basic function, confronting suicide, or walking "with no hands", each of these activities, and more, all came with their specific challenges and rewards. The hard to find answers to the questions that started this journey are unique to the writer. They are presented not as a manifesto to follow, but as a starting point for you that you may find something here that can help you find your answers, unique to you.
The Virtue of Defiance and Psychiatric Engagement
This book offers a nuanced and complex look at defiance, taking seriously issues of dysfunction while also attending to the social contexts in which defiant behaviour may arise. Case studies, a framework for differentiating different forms of defiance, and a realistic picture of phronesis (practical reasoning) are all covered.
Illness as Narrative
For most of literary history, personal confessions about illness were considered too intimate to share publicly. By the mid-twentieth century, however, a series of events set the stage for the emergence of the illness narrative. The increase of chronic disease, the transformation of medicine into big business, the women's health movement, the AIDS/HIV pandemic, the advent of inexpensive paperbacks, and the rise of self-publishing all contributed to the proliferation of narratives about encounters with medicine and mortality. While the illness narrative is now a staple of the publishing industry, the genre itself has posed a problem for literary studies. What is the role of criticism in relat...

Advances in Conceptual Modeling
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of five workshops symposia, held at the 38th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2019, in Salvador, Brazil, in November 2019. The 34 papers promote and disseminate research on theories of concepts underlying conceptual modeling, methods and tools for developing and communicating conceptual models, techniques for transforming conceptual models into effective implementations, and the impact of conceptual modeling techniques on databases, business strategies and information systems. The following workshops are included in this volume: Workshop on Conceptual Modeling, Ontologies and Metadata Management for FAIR Data (FAIR), 6th Workshop on Conceptual Modeling in Requirements Engineering and Business Analysis (MREBA), 2nd International Workshop on Empirical Methods in Conceptual Modeling (EmpER), 8th International Workshop on Modeling and Management of Big Data (MoBiD19), and 7th International Workshop on Ontologies andConceptual Modelling (OntoCom).

Software Architecture
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Software Architecture, ECSA 2020, held in A’quila, Italy, in September 2020. In the Research Track, 12 full papers presented together with 5 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 103 submissions. They are organized in topical sections as follows: microservices; uncertainty, self-adaptive, and open systems; model-based approaches; performance and security engineering; architectural smells and source code analysis; education and training; experiences and learnings from industrial case studies; and architecting contemporary distributed systems. In the Industrial Track, 11 submissions were received and 6 were accepted to form part of these proceedings. In addition the book contains 3 keynote talks. Due to the Corona pandemic ECSA 2020 was held as an virtual event.
