Описание: This book explores new developments in the dialogues between science and theatre and offers an introduction to a fast-expanding area of research and practice.The cognitive revolution in the humanities is creating new insights into the audience experience, performance processes and training. Scientists are collaborating with artists to investigate how our brains and bodies engage with performance to create new understanding of perception, emotion, imagination and empathy. Divided into four parts, each introduced by an expert editorial from leading researchers in the field, this edited volume offers readers an understanding of some of the main areas of collaboration and research: 1. Dances with Science 2. Touching Texts and Embodied Performance 3. The Multimodal Actor 4. Affecting Audiences
Throughout its history theatre has provided exciting and accessible stagings of science, while contemporary practitioners are increasingly working with scientific and medical material. As Honour Bayes reported in the Guardian in 2011, the relationships between theatre, science and performance are 'exciting, explosive and unexpected'. Affective Performance and Cognitive Science charts new directions in the relations between disciplines, exploring how science and theatre can impact upon each other with reference to training, drama texts, performance and spectatorship.
The book assesses the current state of play in this interdisciplinary field, facilitating cross disciplinary exchange and preparing the way for future studies.

Описание:
Praise for earlier editions: " These poets] prove that American poetry has the strength and vision to move beyond the MFA environment in order to reshape and reflect past traditions."-- Bloomsbury Review
"This collection stands out among the crowd claiming to represent emergent poets. Much of the editing and preliminary reading was done by emerging poets themselves, which results in an anthology that's fresh and eclectic, and may actually represent a significant portion of the best new poetry being written by the next generation.... Best New Poets] assures the reader that poetry, even in a generation of text messaging and MP3 players, is still alive and well. The youthfulness of the anthology, combined with the wide scope of its contents, is apparent in the poems, which are edgy and daring."-- Virginia Quarterly Review
Entering its eighth year, Best New Poets has established itself as a crucial venue for rising poets and a valuable resource for poetry lovers. The only publication of its kind, this annual anthology is made up exclusively of work by writers who have not yet published a full-length book. The poems included in this eclectic sampling represent the best from the many that have been nominated by the country's top literary magazines and writing programs, as well as some two thousand additional poems submitted through an open online competition. The work of the fifty writers represented here provides the best perspective available on the continuing vitality of poetry as it is being practiced today.

Описание: In search of a friendship with God, something wondrous happens. We live in a world where people are moving away from God, where too many of us have even stopped believing in him. We live in a world where people are moving away from each other, where too many of us embrace our divisions instead of our connections. It's a world where it seems that God could use another friend-and so could we. The gift of friendship-the human and the divine-is at the heart of Then Something Wondrous Happened. This collection of stories shows how God makes his goodness known through the surprising ways he puts people in our lives-and how they become the friends who sustain us, lift us and inspire us to reach for something more. Then Something Wondrous Happened also captures the stunning gift that God extends to each of us, a friendship marked by his desire to walk through this life with us while inviting us to share an eternal life with him. The choice is ours to accept God's remarkable offer of friendship-a friendship that promises to lead us to something wondrous. Will we? John Shaughnessy has been honored for "Individual Excellence as a Writer" by the national Catholic Press Association. Judges praised, "Shaughnessy has a knack for finding inspiring stories about the human condition and God's hand in our lives.... His storytelling is compelling, and he is truly a treasure..."

Описание: Over the past several hundred years, many women have made major, significant contributions to society, to their countries and to their field of endeavorabe it literature, music, art, politics or the enhancement of women in general. Many of these women have not received the acknowledgement and recognition that they deserve. This book is an attempt to rectify that deficiency. In a warm, storytelling fashion, the authors lay out the scenarios and contributions of fifty of the most famous women of history. These individuals have accomplished great things, not only in their time period, but often against great odds and difficulties. Students of history and students in general need to be aware of the contributions of these women. Certainly there are others that arguably could be included, but this is a first attempt to sensitize the students of this century to the great accomplishments of the women who came before them, and established a foundation for a just, equitable society wherein all women are valued, recognized and acknowledged. Students of history will find this panoramic overview a rich robust source of knowledge and proponents of womens issues will tend to recognize the grandeur and splendor of womens contributions to civilization and humanity in general.

Описание:
"Over the last two decades Shaughnessy has stripped herself down to a voice that can sing plainly about disappointment and love in hard circumstances and the lost art of the mix tape."--The Paris Review
"Shaughnessy finds ever new ways to rend the heart in this biting and poignant anthropological study of girlhood and adolescence."--Publishers Weekly
Subversions of idiom and clich punctuate Brenda Shaughnessy's fourth collection as she approaches middle age and revisits the memories, romances, and music of adolescence. So Much Synth is a brave and ferocious collection composed of equal parts femininity, pain, pleasure, and synthesizer. While Shaughnessy tenderly winces at her youthful excesses, we can humbly catch glimpses of our own.
From "I Have A Time Machine":
But unfortunately it can only travel into the future at a rate of one second per second, which seems slow to the physicists and to the grant committees and even to me. But I manage to get there, time after time, to the next moment and to the next . . .

She is an Assistant Professor of English at Rutgers University, Newark, and lives in Brooklyn with her husband, son, and daughter.
