This book uses the set of relations announced by teachers' and students' readings of literary fictions as a -commonplace location- to interpret the experience of curriculum. In addition to illuminating the complexity of -schooled- readings of literature, "Private Readings in Public" provides insightful and provocative interpretations of the intertwined, overlapping, and ever-evolving intertextual relations that comprise events of curriculum. It will be of interest to those who wish to expand their understanding of the way in which interpretations of shared reading can become a -literary anthropology- where the identities of readers, writers, and teachers are continually re-invented during processes of reading, writing, and teaching."
In this volume, Kenneth Krauss maintains that if readers are to comprehend playscripts as plays, they must imagine the theatre audience - so vital to the staging of any script, but conspicuously absent from the text itself. Krauss examines what has been written about reading playscripts (or "playreading") and proposes four possible ways, founded on a reception-oriented approach to theatre communication and spectator response, that playreaders may construct a sense of theatre audiences.
"YOU ARE PSYCHIC" has been hailed as “the psychic’s bible” and has put tens of thousands of readers on the fast track to accessing and controlling their clairvoyant and healing abilities. In this 2015 revised edition by Living Dreams Press, "You Are Psychic" continues to open the eyes of readers and reverse the “blindness” of those cut off from their greatest gifts of in-sight and healing. Topics covered include: psychic readings, Clairvoyant healing methods, communicating with your creator and your guides, Transformation, psychic protection techniques and the business of spirituality. This book will take your abilities to levels never imagined and facilitate your profound transformation into empowerment and living the life you were meant to live. The first edition of You are Psychic: The Art of Clairvoyant Reading and Healing was published by Llewelyn Worldwide in 2004 and was received with extraordinary acclaim and sold tens of thousands of copies across the globe. This improved edition has been updated to reflect the changing times of having a successful intuitive guiding business in a more technologically advanced world. It incorporates extraordinary insights of the author, whom has been conducting clairvoyant readings, trainings and mentoring sessions for thousands of clients and budding psychics for two decades. She has also collaborated with the top psychic researchers and remote viewers to conduct scientific studies, serving both as scientist and subject. In this edition, she fine-tunes techniques based upon those endeavors. One of the greatest values this book has is its normalizing and comforting effect: by sharing intimate details of her own readings along with step by step techniques, she catalyzes “breakthrough” experiences that changes lives for the better and shows readers that clairvoyance is fun, numinous and enlightening. Perhaps most importantly, those who experiment with the material in this book will gain immediate awareness of the profound connection all beings have with each other.
Deeply Private, Incredibly Public: Readings on the Sociology of Human Reproduction educates readers about cultural attitudes toward reproduction and pregnancy, changes taking place in reproductive medicine and technology, the meaning of reproductive power, and what the impact of reproduction and family might mean for them someday. The book is organized into three sections. The first addresses reproduction from both medical and cultural perspectives. The readings cover a range of topics, including the medicalization of birth, family planning, and fertility rates and birth statistics around the world. The second section explores autonomy, patriarchy, and reproductive control. Students read about the impact of social structures on reproduction, factors involved in abortion, the role of men in reproductive freedom, and what reproduction means in societies where women struggle to receive equal treatment. Section three considers what is actually being created and how this creation occurs. Diverse methods of reproduction and parenting including adoption, surrogacy, genetic engineering, and the harvesting of embryos introduce students to issues that redefine conception, birth, and parenthood. Sensitive and insightful, Deeply Private, Incredibly Public is a valuable resource for courses in sociology.
