Face Value: From Working the Pole to Baring My Soul is Less Than Zero meets Miami Vice but with more make-up and hairspray. It is the story of a beautiful, free-spirited, wide-eyed little girl from the island of O ahu who has no childhood memories before the age of nine. What trauma could have erased her early life; she may never know. What she does know, is that for as far back as she can remember these events influenced her unusual life. Christine tells her story with raw, honest, relatable, and no holds barred writing, taking us through the pain of her adolescence compounded by a rare skin disease that left her face permanently disfigured. Her darkest moments include drug addiction and dancing nude on stages in Waikiki. In Christine's personal story we experience life behind the typical island backdrop of coconuts and palm trees, falling headlong into the underground world of adult entertainment where Christine spent nearly a decade trying to find her self-worth.

This book is a restless chronology of works by Australian-born, internationally exhibiting artist Richard Dunn (b. 1944) who explores the contemporary potential of art with full awareness of its modernist heritage. Thinking Pictures includes Dunn's own foreword and notes on his work, providing an insight into his thinking, of which this book is an illuminating, partial archive. It reveals how Dunn's visually seductive and speculative works explore the perception and interpretation of the social and historical context of art. Dunn uses a variety of materials and formal orientations—photography, realist painting, abstract constructions, filmic montage and digital techniques, installations, light and sound—as strategies to interact with and subvert conventional styles of image-making to reveal something new and current. Dunn seeks to engage us in his exploration of how we perceive the particularities of place, including history, architecture, and ideas, bringing together the personal and the global.

To the extent that writing has long been considered a substitute for ""living"" conversation, dialogue has been a quintessential metaphor for language as communication. This volume closely analyzes dialogue, both as a literary genre and as a critical principle underlying the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Diderot. In her analysis, the author examines relationships between texts and writers, between texts and readers, and between texts and other texts (intertextuality). Drawing extensively upon deconstructionist critical sources, as well as upon sociological and anthropological explorations of reading and writing, this volume provides valuable insight into the wonderfully complex acts of writing and reading, the ""dialogue of writing.""Of interest to students of eighteenth-century French literature, this work is alsoimportant to those interested in contemporary literary criticisms, its theory and practice, as well as to students of Barthes, Derrida, and Beneviste. The volume also presents fascinating applications of the the though of Claude Lévi-Strauss.
