An Eschatological Bestiary
Author: Oz HardwickPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1907133690
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
An Eschatological Bestiary admits to different foci. Recording descriptions of natural history and popular accounts of climate change and inequality, its faunal composition offers symbolic visions, modern protest, and a complete exegetical interpretation of the dramatic rise of an apparently semi-permanent moral blank. Among its prime concerns and other sediments of stories are power relations and future events, their primary goal being to render the Big System unstable at a local level. To this end, words cut out of other sources serve to embody allegorical versions of imaginary animals in literature and art, providing chance significance to each animal's common misconceptions. In addition to glacial analyses, therefore, this 'sea text dream collection' preserves a record (including tents) of data relating to prophetic processes in any town's financial district, revealing the value of bad practice.
The Urban Bestiary
Author: Lyanda Lynn HauptPublisher: Little, Brown Spark
ISBN: 0316250783
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
From the bestselling author of Crow Planet, a compelling journey into the secret lives of the wild animals at our back door. In The Urban Bestiary, acclaimed nature writer Lyanda Lynn Haupt journeys into the heart of the everyday wild, where coyotes, raccoons, chickens, hawks, and humans live in closer proximity than ever before. Haupt's observations bring compelling new questions to light: Whose "home" is this? Where does the wild end and the city begin? And what difference does it make to us as humans living our everyday lives? In this wholly original blend of science, story, myth, and memoir, Haupt draws us into the secret world of the wild creatures that dwell among us in our urban neighborhoods, whether we are aware of them or not. With beautiful illustrations and practical sidebars on everything from animal tracking to opossum removal, The Urban Bestiary is a lyrical book that awakens wonder, delight, and respect for the urban wild, and our place within it.

Masquerade and Identities
Author: Efrat TseëlonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134530706
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Masquerade, both literal and metaphorical, is now a central concept on many disciplines. This timely volume explores and revisits the role of disguise in constructing, expressing and representing marginalised identities, and in undermining easy distinctions between 'true' identity and artifice. The book is interdisciplinary in approach, spanning a diverse range of cultures and narrative voices. It provides provocative and nuanced ways of thinking about masquerade as a tool for construction, and a tool for critique. The essays interrogate such themes as: *mask and carnival *fetish fashion *stigma of illegitimacy *femininity as masquerade *lesbian masks *cross-dressing in Jewish folk theatre *the mask in seventeenth and eighteenth century London and nineteenth century France *the voice as mask.
