This collection of essays highlights the power of the story, especially as told by those living an international life. What compels them to share their experiences? What have they experienced? What have they learned? In this time of tensions across the globe, rapid technological change and extensive migration, there is compelling value in learning through storied experiences. This volume explores the concepts of identity, change, equality, ethics, citizenship, family, feminism, community, faiths and values, advocacy and charity, systems, and languages. These movements are contextualized through a storied approach, adopting social exchange theory, identity theory, and globalization and internationalization movements as frameworks. This book will appeal to academics, ethnographers, practitioners, graduate students, educators, and researchers.

Postnational Musical Identities gathers interdisciplinary essays that explore how music audiences and markets are imagined in a globalized scenario, how music reflects and reflects upon new understandings of citizenship beyond the nation-state, and how music works as a site of resistance against globalization. "Hybridity," "postnationalism," "transnationalism," "globalization," "diaspora," and similar buzzwords have not only informed scholarly discourse and analysis of music but also shaped the way musical productions have been marketed worldwide in recent times. While the construction of identities occupies a central position in this context, there are discrepancies between the conceptualization of music as an extremely fluid phenomenon and the traditionally monovalent notion of identity to which it has historically been incorporated. As such, music has always been linked to the construction of regional and national identities. The essays in this collection seek to explore the role of music, networks of music distribution, music markets, music consumption, music production, and music scholarship in the articulation of postnational sites of identification.

Under the guardianship of the austere Judge Harlequin Brown and the elderly gentlemen of Orrery House, Fin has grown up under a very strange set of rules. He spends alternate years at two very different schools and now he's tired of the constant lies to even his best friends, to hide the insanity of his double life. Neither would believe the truth! But on his sixteenth birthday, everything changes. The Judge is killed, stabbed in the chest with a double-edged sword that's disturbingly familiar, and from that moment on, Fin is catapulted into an extraordinary adventure. Through the Doorway in Fin's London, a hole in the boundaries of Existence, lies another London - and now both are in grave danger.

Because of the Knights' actions, a black storm is coming, bringing madness with it. Fin may be just 16, but he has a long, dark journey ahead of him if he is to rescue the Storyholder and save Existence!

Poetry for me is A man in love, art in the museum Asking a young girl not to daydream, but she dreams anyway I read in the old books that the very existence of human is an illusion, let it be So, I have built sandcastles, told my mother that I have counted all the stars, Planted rose-bush seeds in winter and saved it for spring I believe people are good and evil lives undercover And all that is love I will tell you about how my love is eternal, how all my dreams came true How magic is for real, I promise my poetry is not a song You must give me your time, both of us need to talk TRULY MADLY DEEPLY.
