In a world gripped by intersecting crises and deepening inequalities, can social work break free from its colonial entanglements to imagine a more just and compassionate future? Decolonising Social Work Education: Memory, Haunting and Critical Hope in the Nordics confronts the enduring legacies of colonialism that continue to shape the foundations of social work education. Through the lenses of haunting, memory, and critical hope, it challenges the discipline’s historical complicity with systems of domination and calls for a radical reimagining of its pedagogical core. Grounded in pluriversal knowledges and informed by decolonial thought, this book advocates for a transformative, relational curriculum—one that resists neoliberalism, carceral logics, and epistemic injustice. Drawing on examples from the Nordic context, it offers a bold vision for social work rooted in justice, equity, and ecological interconnectedness. With humility, reflection, and collective imagination, it charts a path towards a liberatory future where social work becomes a force for healing and transformation.
For whom does the actor perform? To answer this foundational question of the actor’s art, Grotowski scholar Kris Salata explores acting as a self-revelatory action, introduces Grotowski’s concept of "carnal prayer," and develops an interdisciplinary theory of acting and spectating. Acting after Grotowski: Theatre’s Carnal Prayer attempts to overcome the religious/secular binary by treating "prayer" as a pre-religious, originary deed, and ultimately situates theatre along with ritual in their shared territory of play.Grounded in theatre practice, Salata’s narrative moves through postmodern philosophy, critical theory, theatre, performance, ritual, and religious studies, concluding that the fundamental structure of prayer, which underpins the actor’s deed, can be found in any self-revelatory creative act.
This book examines the photography’s unique capacity to represent time with a degree of elasticity and abstraction. Part object-study, part cultural/philosophical history, it examines the medium’s ability to capture and sometimes "defy" time, while also traveling as objects across time-and-space nexuses. The book features studies of understudied, widespread, practices: studio portraiture, motion studies, panoramas, racing photo finishes, composite college class pictures, planetary photography, digital montages, and extended-exposure images. A closer look at these images and their unique cultural/historical contexts reveals photography to be a unique medium for expressing changing perceptions of time, and the anxiety its passage provokes.
"I had this dream, Bulby. This fire ripping my chest apart. To rise above the mud. To snatch those distant stars. To take the hand fate dealt me and throw it back into its stupid face." - The viscountAnd so it goes for the dreamers and schemers of the Athenian Union; the dreams get bigger, the schemes get bolder, the nights grow colder.

In Magma, an energy giant's future hinges on a pipeline proposal. In the prairies, a farmer's resolve to keep grinding is balancing on a razor's edge. In Yorba Woods, a viscount is looking to affirm his authority and lead his people into prosperity. Add to the mix an (un)healthy dose of Athenian wheeling, dealing and backstabbing, and the stage is set for a diabolical game of chess-not-checkers.Gather round, Brutus Babies The time has come to wrap up the first Brutus Nation trilogy. It's gonna be a scorcher.

Part One: You know what brings people's secrets to the surface? The end of the world. A blister opened in the sky, and now death rains down onto the Earth. No one expected the oldsters living at Paradise Homes to respond in any way-not me, and certainly not any of the other staff. But it turned out we're a home for retired super-beings, and now the only thing standing between me and a demon is a not-so-little old man and an old lady who speaks to Russian ghosts. For some weird reason, they think I'm going to save the world. When a second blister opens and floods Paradise Homes with hellhounds, we have no choice but to fight back. Now to survive the hounds so I can stop the apocalypse....Part Two: I thought I had the end of the world under control. Closing the reality blister at Paradise Homes should have granted me a moment to breathe. No more hellhounds came through. We were somewhat safe. Finding our ghost's ring should have been a breeze. I didn't count on the super-soldiers. Or Nax's illness. Or that my sword's guiding "voices" might be something utterly malicious.Part Three: I thought I'd reached pinnacle bad with the gaslighting spaceship. I was wrong. Multiverse-level wrong. The Fate Progenitor stole my Midnight Blade. Then he stole Nax and Leif. And now that horrid ship, all the equally horrid human factions vying for control, and the terrifying dragons who invaded our planet-they all want mouthfuls of my mind. My body. My soul. Thing is, someone has to save the world. How much can I take before my psyche bleeds out? I was supposed to stop the apocalypse. I was supposed to be a hero. But sometimes we're only the hero we deserve.... Join Del Parrish and the original Draki Prime as they take up the second battle of the World on Fire universe against gaslighting spaceships, evil Fates, and timeline-jumping super-soldiers in this full series edition of Witch of the Midnight Blade.
