In this companion to The Wilful Eye, six much-loved writers - Catherine Bateson, Victor Kelleher, Cate Kennedy, Maureen McCarthy, Nan McNab and Kate Thompson - give fresh voice to age-old stories of abandonment, desire and entrapment.Praise for Volume One:'The writers in The Wilful Eye imbue all of their characters, including the villains, with a deep sense of psychological realism, producing often tender, engaging, and insightful results. Unnamed soldiers and hideous beasts are given a voice, even if that voice is at times unsettling, and wolves are still wolves, however they disguise themselves.'

Never in a million years could she have imagined that any one customer would make so much difference to her life. However, one day into her busy London boutique came such a customer. 'Shoulders', as she derogatorily referred to him, rocked her equilibrium and tumbled her settled, solitary, secure life over and over again. Before 'Shoulders', Isobelle's independence was her armour against all-comers; she believed her life and emotions impenetrable. As she reluctantly came increasingly embroiled in this customer's complex life she realised how wrong she was.
Die reise van Isobelle neem 'n hele eeu, van 1894 tot 1994, in oenskou. Van die Anglo-Boereoorlog met sy konsentrasiekampe, tot die Struggle wat uitloop op 'n nuwe politieke bedeling in Suid-Afrika. Enersyds bied die skrywer 'n panoramiese blik op groot omwentelinge, andersyds 'n intieme kyk op die persoonlike belewenisse van vier generasies van 'n blanke Afrikaanse familie in Afrika. Veral die hartstogte wat hulle dryf en sin gee aan hul bestaan. By ds. Josias van velde, hartstog vir God, by name die Verbondsgod van die Afrikaner. Daarom is die wit konsentrasiekamptentjie wat hy van dankbare Boervroue in skrynende omstandighede ontvang, vir hom so kosbaar. By sy skoondogter Angens, die hartstog vir die 'pa' wat haar weggestuur het uit Brits Oos-Afrika, en wat sy op 'n manier terugvind by die hoeksteenlegging van die Voortrekkermonument. Die erotiese en die opwelling van nasionale gevoel loop vir haar hier saam. Haar dogter, Belle, vind die groot hartstog: 'n passie wat alles oorskry, maar leef haar te pletter teen wette en gesindhede wat harte skei op grond van velkleur.Belle se dogter, Leo, bevry van die houvas van volksleiers se futiele visioene, stry vir 'n regverdiger bestel, en brei so die weg vir 'n voller lewe: die derde Isobelle. Anders as in die tradisionele 'familieroman' is die hoofkarakters hier vroue, en dit is juis die vroulike perspektief wat toon hoe die politiek in persoonlike lyding gestalte kry.

Feminism and the Making of a Child Rights Revolution
Isobelle Barrett Meyering
MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY PRESS
2022

When Australian women's liberationists challenged prevailing expectations of female domesticity, they were accused of being anti-mother and anti-child. Feminism and the Making of a Child Rights Revolution provides a much-needed reassessment of this stereotype. Drawing on extensive archival research and personal accounts, it places feminists at the forefront of a new wave of children's rights activism that went beyond calls for basic protections for children, instead demanding their liberation. Historian Isobelle Barrett Meyering revisits this revolutionary approach and charts the debates it sparked within the women's movement. Her examination of feminists' ground-breaking campaigns on major social issues of the 1970s-from childcare to sex education to family violence-also reveals women's concerted efforts to apply this ideal in their personal lives and to support children's own activism. Feminism and the Making of a Child Rights Revolution sheds light on the movement's expansive vision for social change and its lasting impact on the way we view the rights of women and children.

This concise volume spotlights an innovative computer-aided approach to linguistic analyses of HPV vaccination discourse on Twitter. The book features a new corpus linguistic technique, developed by the lead author, to studying patterns of language use in large datasets over time, otherwise known as Keyword Co-Occurrence Analysis. The authors explore the potential of social media platforms as rich areas of study for health communication and vaccination discourse, with this particular methodology allowing for detailed analysis of over half a million tweets from nearly 15 years of data. Given the increasingly influential role of social media platforms such as Twitter in shaping vaccine hesitancy, the volume offers readers a more nuanced understanding of their influence on attitudes around important health issues and a valuable resource in facilitating increased vaccine uptake. This book will be key reading for students, scholars, and policymakers interested in the intersection of language and health, in such areas as corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, health communication, and applied linguistics.
