This new edition of the classic guide offers a thorough and accessible introduction to contemporary critical theory. It provides in-depth coverage of the most common approaches to literary analysis today: feminism, psychoanalysis, Marxism, reader-response theory, new criticism, structuralism and semiotics, deconstruction, new historicism, cultural criticism, lesbian/gay/queer theory, African-American criticism, and postcolonial criticism. The chapters provide an extended explanation of each theory, using examples from everyday life, popular culture, and literary texts; a list of specific questions critics who use that theory ask about literary texts; an interpretation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby through the lens of each theory; a list of questions for further practice to guide readers in applying each theory to different literary works; and a bibliography of primary and secondary works for further reading. This book can be used as the only text in a course or as a precursor to the study of primary theoretical works. It motivates readers by showing them what critical theory can offer in terms of their practical understanding of literary texts and in terms of their personal understanding of themselves and the world in which they live. Both engaging and rigorous, it is a "how-to" book for undergraduate and graduate students new to critical theory and for college professors who want to broaden their repertoire of critical approaches to literature.

Listening to Old Woman Speak by Laura Smyth Groening Pdf
Groening argues that what Frantz Fanon terms the "manichean allegory" has shaped European understanding of the New World to such an extent that the image patterns fundamental to the allegory continue to dominate depictions of Native characters. Although a world separated into two categories defined by light and dark, reason and emotion, mind and body, technology and nature, future and past is no longer also characterized as good and evil, revaluing the tropes has not made them disappear. And without their disappearance, good intentions notwithstanding, nonaboriginal Canadian writers will continue to portray Native characters as part of a dead and dying culture. Groening demonstrates that the real issue cannot be about censorship as censorship involves the abrogation of freedom, and the imagination is never truly free.
Sometimes rude, never crude, WomanSpeak explores topics where the great men of literature never dared venture. Written in collaboration by renowned female South Australian poets, Jude Aquilina and Louise Nicholas, the poems in this collection are both humorous and reflective, covering a range of topics including women's health, body image and fashion. Performed at women's workshops, SA Cervical Screenings and other medical conferences nationally, the poetry gives an insight into the rituals and unique experiences of women.
Womanspeak: Voices from an Archaeology of Silence New and Collected Poems by Carol Thomas, Ph.D. Pdf
This book of poetry consists of new and collected poems, with an appendix that illustrates work I have done throughout the years––often when I was teaching creative writing or women’s studies, and also when I was engaged in private practice with Shoreline Psychiatric Associates. The text represents a woman’s vision of her world, embodied, tactile, deeply sensuous, and erotic in the sense of being connected, wired to the universe. Before my recent retirement, I worked with multicultural and intriguing populations-women prisoners, drug court appointed adolescents, some of the “1 percent,” and many of the “47 percent,” as well as what some politicians would call a “permanent underclass.” A dual professional life in terms of both teaching and private practice has provided for me the richest, deepest learning environment one could hope for. The poems as well as the appendix attempt to illuminate and explicate the essence of women’s engagement with herself, her relationships, and the world. The poems also explore her intelligences, epistemologies, theories—her often quotidian delight as William Carlos Williams defines it. Women’s experience echoes Whitman’s expressions of his love of the natural world and his insistence on achieving “a capacious imagination.” My poems are “feminist,” in the way in which Virginia Woolf defined it in 1938, in her wickedly witty, antiwar, prowomen book, “Three Guineas.” Her use of the word was to suggest the egregious inequality between women and men. It is a brilliant treatise on the subconscious roots of patriarchy, and she observes that war is the plaything, constant and the deepest desire of men. Woolf had hoped the word feminist would become obsolete as equality, cooperation, and friendship would erase the term. In a volatile dispute discussed in her book as to whether women should be ordained into the English Anglican Church, its reigning body of officials brought in Professor Grensted, a well-known psychologist, to help in resolving the dissension and division. Ultimately, after much thought and study, Professor Grensted declared that there was no theological or intellectual reason that the women could not be ordained, but they should not be ordained due to the stress and agitation it would cause among the male clergy. In his conclusion, he noted that the real reason the women could not be admitted was men’s infantile fixation against women, a fixation deeply unconscious and seemingly unchangeable, and an inseparable element of patriarchy. A woman was first ordained in the church in 2006, first female “primate,” in the Anglican community. Some contemporary religious traditions in America today continue with these issues. Currently, our nation, our earth is in crisis—referring to our perpetual wars, the depletion of the earth, and its millions of starving peoples all over the world. The poems in this book both critique our inability to accept truth and the natural world and the call to celebrate the gifts of woman’s lives—mercy, insight, unequivocal generosity, keen sensibilities, new visions. Let us hope that 2015 ushers in and implements the values of each human, each species, every living creature, tree, rock, cloud, sun, sea as of infinite value.
