Autistic-Coded Representation and Autism Stereotypes
Autistic-Coded Representation and Autism Stereotypes: Looking for the Spectrum takes a fresh approach to examining autism representation in literature, film, and television by looking particularly at characters who are not directly identified as falling on the Autism Spectrum. As autism becomes an increasingly popular topic to explore in literature and visual media, it is important that representations present people with autism as real humans with complex interior lives. Too often autistic characters fall into broad stereotypes – victims, villains, fools, or heroes – and autism emerges as the defining aspect of their personality. This book looks at autistic-coded characters, both classic and contemporary, to examine the benefits of looking for the spectrum in characters not explicitly labeled. Autistic audiences see a diverse and fully fleshed representation of themselves and neurotypical audiences gain a greater understanding of ASD though exposure to characters who defy stereotypes.
Indigenous People and the Christian Faith: A New Way Forward
Indigenous People and the Christian Faith: A New Way Forward provides detailed historical, cultural and theological background and analysis to a very delicate and pressing subject facing many people around the world. The book is “glocal”: both local and global, as represented by international scholars. Every continent is represented by both Indigenous and non-indigenous people who desire to make a difference with the delicate problematics and relationships. The history of Indigenous people around the world is inextricably linked with Christianity and Colonialism. The book is completely interdisciplinary by employing historians, literary critics, biblical scholars and theologians, sociologists, philosophers and ordained engineers. The Literary Intent of the book, without presuming nor claiming too much for itself, is to provide practical thinking that will help all people move past the pain and dysfunction of the past, toward mutual understanding, communication, and practical actions in the present and future.
Spiritual and Corporeal Selves in India
This volume offers a number of images of contemporary India where glocalization is undoubtedly present. The twelve chapters included here provide different perspectives on the relationship between the corporeal and the spiritual, highlighting the union of both soul and body, which has been present from the very beginning of the Indian civilization. This volume offers clues to understand the differences and similarities that characterise the East-West encounter through artistic representations in the era of globalisation. It also enhances the importance of re-inscribing the fusion of the spiritual and the corporeal into the academic research agenda. In Western theory, the body has been arguab...

Narrativas y voces angloamericanas y gaélicas en clave feminista.
El lenguaje, como facultad humana idiosincrática, parece haber otorgado a las mujeres una cierta ventaja sobre los hombres a lo largo de la historia. Cuando estas han tenido que vencer, uno tras otro, los desafíos auspiciados por las diferencias, desigualdades y estereotipias de género, la capacidad del lenguaje ha sido para las mujeres una vía alternativa a lo que para los hombres era más fácilmente accesible en términos de poder político, autoría, propiedad o agencia. Concretamente, a lo largo de la evolución, las mujeres han desarrollado una gran potencialidad para el uso de la fluencia verbal y las analogías (Amor Andrés 587), ambas características fundamentales a la hora de...

An Apple a Day
A woman suffering from anorexia struggles to understand the cause of her eating disorder and, more importantly, becomes determined to stop starving and start living. I haven’t tasted chocolate for over ten years and now I’m walking down the street unwrapping a Kit Kat . . . Remember when Kate Moss said, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"? She’s wrong: chocolate does. At the age of thirty-three, after ten years of hiding from the truth, Emma Woolf finally decided it was time to face the biggest challenge of her life. Addicted to hunger, exercise, and control, she was juggling a full-blown eating disorder with a successful career, functioning on an apple a day. Having met the man of her dreams, and wanting a future and a baby together, she decided it was time to stop starving and start living. Honest, hard-hitting, and spoken from the heart, An Apple a Day is a manifesto for the modern generation to stop starving and start living.
Pragmatikerwerb und Kinderliteratur
Dieser Band erhellt den Zusammenhang von Kinderliteratur, (Vor-)Lesen und dem Erwerb pragmatischer Fähigkeiten im Vorlese- und frühen Selbstlesealter. Ausgangspunkt ist immer die Frage, welchen Einfluss die Beschäftigung mit Kinderliteratur auf den Erwerb pragmatischer Fähigkeiten hat, z.B. auf Humorverständnis oder Erzählvermögen. Untersucht werden die sprachlichen Eigenschaften kinderliterarischer Texte – wozu auch Bilderbücher gehören – und die jeweiligen Eigenschaften spezifischer Aneignungs- und Vermittlungssituationen. Eine weitere Perspektive ist die der Deutschdidaktik: Diese hat ein besonderes Interesse an Unterrichtsinhalten und -settings, mit denen sich sprachliche und literarische Kompetenzen fördern lassen. Der wegweisende Band ist allen zu empfehlen, die sich für Pragmatik, Spracherwerb, Kinderliteratur und Deutschdidaktik interessieren.
