Perpetual Slavery

Perpetual Slavery

Ciarán Finlayson

Floating Opera Press
2023
pokkari
In Perpetual Slavery, Ciar n Finlayson investigates the relationship of art to freedom in the work of Cameron Rowland and Ralph Lemon, who both utilize imagery of labor haunted and structured by the historical experience of slavery. Finlayson suggests that these two artists' work overcomes the dichotomy between the recording of history and its interpretation by making both the object of artistic experience, thereby providing a space to grasp the continuing effects of slavery.
Postmodernism in Arthur Miller's Long-Late Period
Having made his reputation in the 1940s and '50s, Arthur Miller continued to write into the twenty-first century, producing his final play in 2004, the year before his death. With little critical, academic, or theatrical attention being paid to his plays after 1968's The Price, he had one of the longest "late" periods in literary history. This book brings new attention to Miller's writing from this period, analysing 5 plays--The Archbishop's Ceiling, Some Kind of Love Story, Clara and The Ride Down Mt. Morgan, Resurrection Blues--and a host of essays to highlight the influence of postmodernism on his work. Using relevant novels and films, these plays are situated within the context of their cultural moments to show that Miller remained an engaged, aware, and contemporary writer until his death.
Pedestrian and Cyclist Impact

Pedestrian and Cyclist Impact

The aim of this book is to present pedestrian injuries from a biomechanical perspective. We aim to give a detailed treatment of the physics of pedestrian impact, as well as a review of the accident databases and the relevant injury criteria used to assess pedestrian injuries. A further focus will be the effects on injury outcome of (1) pedestrian/vehicle position and velocity at impact and (2) the influence of vehicle design on injury outcome. Most of the content of this book has been published by these and other authors in various journals, but this book will provide a comprehensive treatment of the biomechanics of pedestrian impacts for the first time. It will therefore be of value to new and established researchers alike.

Irländsk högspänningsdebut i samma ådra som Irvine Welshs Trainspotting»Suggestivt och levande. Vi luras in i den vanvettiganatten, och sedan vänder allt på en hårnål « The Irish TimesVinny, 18, och bäste vännen Jonty sitter packade som sardiner i baksätet på en liten Vauxhall Nova. I bilen finns också Long Jim och Fat Davy, som normalt skulle kunna hota dem till livet, enkom för att deras föräldrar är katoliker. Men nu är de tillsammans på väg till ett rave, i turistorten Portrush, därför att Vinny och Jonty gått med på att sälja trehundra ecstasytabletter som två äldre protestantiska killar stulit från sina lojalistiska paramilitära knarklangarkompisar. Lyckas de sälja pillren är de lovade en slant tillräcklig för att äntligen fly den gudsförgätna håla de bor i. Skulle något gå snett - bör de nog försöka fly i vilket fall. Ingen som läst Ciarán McMenamins debutroman har problem med att förstå varför platsen, Enniskillen i Nordirland - historiskt ökänd för det stora bombattentatet 1987 - också kallas Skintown. Det här är en berättelse om att ha en kropp - i åttio- och nittiotalets Nordirland, där kriget mellan IRA och unionister kulminerat och inte ens barn går säkra i sina sköra skinn. En roman i vilken tid och rum uppgår i ett enda akut tillstånd som kunde liknas vid (mar)dröm, om det inte vore för att många av scenerna som återges är verklighet. En nordirländsk romansensation, i svensk översättning av Erik MacQueen.CIARÁN MCMENAMIN [f. 1975] är en nordirländsk författare, född i Enniskillen, med katolsk bakgrund. Sedan decennier är han verksam som skådespelare inom film, TV och teater. Skintown är hans debutroman.»Ciaran McMenamin skriver fantastiskt. Hans karaktärer är plågsamt levande och rakt igenom trovärdiga. En skrämmande och hysteriskt rolig debutroman.« Liz Nugent»En högspänningsroman som formligen sprakar avsjälvförtroende och intelligens.« Joseph O Connor

Unmasking School Leadership

This book is a longitudinal life history of the lives and work of primary school principals in Ireland. It provides a unique opportunity to peer inside the realities of leading schools in changing times. In a system that until recently did not prepare principals for the onerous roles and responsibilities, a small system with limited mobility, inter-personal relationships emerge as critical, frequently privileged over professional relationships. Consequently, principals struggle to bring about change, to build trust in order to cultivate a transformative leadership agenda, while several aspects of systemic structures and processes emerge as constraints on leadership capacity building. In the absence of comprehensive leadership portfolio development, classroom teachers, catapulted into the principal’s office, tend to be cautious and careful in ways that tend to perpetuate the status quo while putting a premium on the exercise of soft power and an over-reliance on the good will of colleagues. Several of the ‘leadership lessons’ that emerge from this in-depth analysis concur with an increasing international consensus that due to complexity and increasingly performative policy demands, learning about leadership for all is an absolute necessity. However, care must be taken to avoid overly scripted programmes. Critical to the cultivation of a professionally responsible leadership disposition, rather than capitulation to ‘technologies of control,’ is professional renewal cultivated through adequate attention to the Zone of Proximal Distance.
