“The Guests Were Arriving At The Dacha...”: On The Dacha Topos In The Poetry Of Alexander Kushner, Ewa Sadzińska Dec 2018

“The Guests Were Arriving At The Dacha...”: On The Dacha Topos In The Poetry Of Alexander Kushner, Ewa Sadzińska

Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Litteraria Rossica

The topos of the dacha – like the topos of the city (St. Petersburg) and that of the garden – is an important element of the spatial dimension of Alexander Kushner’s poetic world. The article attempts to trace the productivity and functionality of the topos in selected texts of this contempo­rary poet. Attention is drawn to the characteristics of the categories of time and space, the constituents of the life on the dacha , as well as connections with the literary tradition. When taking up the subject, Kushner updates the rich semantics of the topos: the dacha as a place …

Poe: Stories And Poems: A Graphic Novel Adaptation By Gareth Hinds, Karen Abbott

Children's Book and Media Review

Edgar Allan Poe is synonymous with suspense and mystery. This is a well-illustrated and well-written graphic novel that gives a perfect introduction to the works of the master storyteller.

Read on for the chilling "Cask of Amantillado," where the taste of revenge exceeds fine wine. Also included are "Annabelle Lee," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Bells," and "The Raven." Explore these classic …

Children's Book and Media Review

Seventh grader Nora Tucker is looking forward to a summer full of cookouts, hikes, and swimming. Her plans for the year go awry when the high-security prison near her home has a breakout.

Moving, Belonging, And Sorrow In ‘A Very Different Time’ By Phil Smith, Silvia Viñas Dec 2018

Moving, Belonging, And Sorrow In ‘A Very Different Time’ By Phil Smith, Silvia Viñas

RadioDoc Review

Phil Smith’s A Very Different Time weaves poetry, music, ambience and snapshots of stories in an audio piece about movement, nostalgia, change and sorrow. It includes the voices of people he met while living in Berlin: a West African refugee; a musician and academic from the United States; a Syrian refugee escaping war; an academic of Italian/German citizenship; and a German musician who moved from a small town to the city. To this stream of voices, Smith adds layers of music, different beats, street sounds, distortion, the ambience that recall the words – valleys, mountains, water and islands –and a …

Me, Meat, And Mo'town: A Multisensory Ethnography Of Morristown, Tennessee, Caitlin Mize Dec 2018

Me, Meat, And Mo'town: A Multisensory Ethnography Of Morristown, Tennessee, Caitlin Mize

Masters Theses

The 20th century was a time of substantial change in American farming communities. Researchers have documented the environmental and community impacts of corporate-controlled food crop production and corporate-controlled beef and pork production and processing. Far less research focuses on either corporate-controlled poultry production or processing. This project aims at those gaps in the literature with an exploratory case study of the former family farming community of Morristown, Tennessee.After analyzing literature on the characteristics that most distinguish family farming communities from corporate farming communities, I drew insights from the literature on sense of place and deployed the multisensory ethnography method. In …
