Contemporary Caribbean Writing and Deleuze

Contemporary Caribbean Writing and Deleuze

Continuum Publishing Corporation

Contemporary Caribbean Writing andDeleuze maps anew intellectual and literary history of postcolonial Caribbean writing andthought spanning from the 1930s surrealist movement to the present,crossing the region's language blocs,and focused on the interconnected principles of creativity and commemoration.Exploring the work of Rene Menil, edouard Glissant, Wilson Harris, DerekWalcott, Antonio Benitez-Rojo, Pauline Melville, Robert Antoni and NaloHopkinson, this study reveals the explicit and implicit engagement withDeleuzian thought at work in contemporary Caribbean writing.Uniting for the first time two majorschools of contemporary thought - postcolonialism and post-continentalphilosophy - this study establishes anew and innovative critical discourse for Caribbean studies and postcolonialtheory beyond the oppositional dialectic of colonizer and colonized. Drawingfrom Deleuze's writings on Bergson, Nietzsche and Spinoza, this studyinterrogates the postcolonial tropes of newness, becoming, relationality and aphilosophical concept of immanence that lie at the heart of a little-observeddialogue between contemporary Caribbean writers and Deleuze.

Secret Cromer and Sheringham

Secret Cromer and Sheringham

Lorna Talbott

Amberley Publishing
2019
nidottu
The north Norfolk coastal towns of Cromer and Sheringham, roughly 4 miles apart, were both small fishing villages until their development in the nineteenth century. Cromer became a fashionable resort and the arrival of the railways spurred growth in neighbouring Sheringham. Both towns are still popular with visitors to this stretch of north Norfolk, romantically nicknamed ‘Poppyland’ by the Victorians. In this book author Lorna Talbott delves into the history of Cromer and Sheringham. Part of medieval Cromer now lies under the sea and the remains of its church became a shipping hazard in later centuries. The history of both towns is intertwined with the fishing industry, particularly for crabs, but industries such as lime burning and brick making left their mark on the local landscape and other less legal trades such as smuggling were also practised. Throughout their history sea rescue was vital to Cromer and Sheringham and many in the towns served in the often perilous work of the lifeboats. The leisure industry also grew as the towns became popular with visitors and at one time were promoted as spa towns. The Victorians built grand hotels as well as starting the caravan trade. The first pier in Cromer’s history was built in the fourteenth century and today’s pier has seen a fascinating roll call of entertainers over the years. Secret Cromer & Sheringham explores all this and more, revealing the secrets of these Norfolk towns.

Beverley in 50 Buildings

Beverley in 50 Buildings

Lorna Jane Harvey; Phil Dearden

Amberley Publishing
2019
nidottu
Beverley’s rich historic legacy is visible in its many beautiful buildings. Already an important religious centre in Anglo-Saxon times, it continued to grow throughout the Middle Ages as a place of pilgrimage and as a prosperous wool-trading centre, and its landmark buildings and structures from that period, such as the famous Beverley Minster and North Bar, still attract visitors. In the eighteenth century Beverley became the county town of the East Riding of Yorkshire and many streets and buildings were rebuilt in the Georgian style, including the market cross, which later secretly sheltered some soldiers during wartime. Beverley Racecourse was also established at this time. Building continued in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and alongside the town’s landmark buildings the story of Beverley can be seen in its pubs, including the gas-lit White Horse Inn known locally as ‘Nellie's Pub’, hospitals, railway station buildings, industrial sites, theatres and cinemas, and more, up to the present day. Beverley in 50 Buildings explores the history of this historic town through a selection of its most interesting buildings and structures, showing the changes that have taken place in Beverley over the years. This book will appeal to all those who live in Beverley or who have an interest in the town.

Aberdeen at Work

Aberdeen at Work

Lorna Corall Dey; Michael Dey

Amberley Publishing
2020
nidottu
The city of Aberdeen has been shaped by its natural surroundings and location on the North Sea coast. Long before the 1,000-plus years of the city’s recorded history, the area’s prehistoric people built megalithic stones and circles, and for centuries the area’s granite from nearby quarries was used to build the city, as well as exported around Britain wherever the hard-wearing stone was required. Over the centuries a vast number of crafts and skills went into the development of Aberdeen, a city that sits between two rivers, each enabling trades such as fishing, papermaking, shipbuilding and textiles. The city was a major fishing port and an important Scottish trading centre with the Continent, and when oil was discovered in the North Sea in the 1960s and 1970s, Aberdeen became the oil capital of Britain. Today the north-east of Scotland’s natural landscape again dominates work and labour in the move to invest in new energy sources, harvesting wind and wave power. In Aberdeen at Work, authors Lorna Corall Dey and Michael Dey explore the working life of this city and its people, and the industries that have characterised it. The book will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of Aberdeen.

April 14/15, 2012 commemorated the 100 anniversary of the sinking of the famous ocean-liner RMS Titanic. Here is a story I wrote to honour all the people and their beloved pet dogs who perished on the fateful night.This is a children's story about First Officer William Murdock's Newfoundland dog Rigel. The story is a legend based on an true historical event that happened right after the sinking of the doomed ship. It was said to be that this dog heroically saved a lifeboat of people who narrowly survived from being rammed by the rescue ship Carpathia in the deep darkened and frigid waters of the Atlantic. Rigel was reportedly hailed as a major factor in preserving a number of lives that night and preventing them from becoming themselves victims of the ill-fated Titanic.

They Are With Us: Advice from Spirit on changing your life.

Lorna Adams

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2011
nidottu
With down to earth humor, They Are with Us: Advice from Spirit on Changing Your Life by psychic/clairaudient Lorna Adams offers words of advice from the spirit world-and these words make a world of difference. Engaging and smartly penned, this powerful work of nonfiction approaches life change and personal transformation with grace and humility. In twenty succinct, matter-of-fact chapters like "See the World Any Way You Choose," "Resolving What You Can and Letting the Rest Go", Adams conveys knowledge directly from spirit assisting readers to begin making the most of their earthbound journey. The book incorporates themes that include the concepts of doing for others and taking pride in one's daily legacy. Sure to become a dog-eared favorite, this book helps readers make real changes, and as the book's title suggests, our spirit guides have something to say about it. Lest we forget from whom Adams' directives come, there are also pointers on how to get your life on the right track and how to stop wasting time. This is not your run-of-the-mill "live a better life" self-help book; this one is direct and no-nonsense. There's a complexity to the message, yet it's crystalline. Each of us has a finite amount of time to enjoy what the fates allow. Who better to listen to than the voices of reason-the voices that come from past experiences. The spirit guides have literally seen it all and yet the spirits return to encourage, uplift, and celebrate the fact that life is how we live it, so we better make the most if it-starting now. That's a main underlying premise that runs through the entire guide; live in the now, love in the now, be kind to others in the now, and celebrate your present journey. There is a purpose to life, so get unstuck and listen to the voices of the past to secure a bright future right now, today.
