![]() Stay tuned for further announcements on other guest filmmakers! Reelout would like to give a special thank you to the Vancouver Queer Film Festival and in particular, artistic director, Anoushka Ratnarajah for assisting in bringing this program to Kingston which is situated on unceded traditional territories of the Mohawk, Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat, Algonquin, Iroquois, Mississauga and also the Metis who settled on these lands. ![]() Join us for a mix of narrative and experimental works that defies colonial expressions of queerness.įilmmaker and curator Justin Ducharme ( Positions, pictured above) will be visiting us from Vancouver to present this program and engage with audiences. This cinematic collection showcases how versatile two-spirit/Indigiqueer life is. Coined in 2004 by Thirza Cuthand, the term Indigiqueer is a way for queer Indigenous folks to identify themselves and their queerness. ![]() ![]() The thing about books of this length is that, even when they’re not very good, they rarely leave a bad taste in my mouth. Even better, it’s a standalone tale in a larger universe. Yes, it’s not the first in a series, but that’s never stopped me before. Last year I read a collection of James White’s unrelated fiction, Medics & Monsters, and was sufficiently entertained to be enthusiastic about reading this one. ![]() It’s the fourth book in the Sector General series, a series of which I have been dimly aware for a while, but never really got round to reading. So it’s only natural that she be the one to put a copy of Ambulance Ship in my hands. Ī short while ago, my significant other and I were bemoaning the lack of doctor-driven science fiction. Even when that danger is rooted in the mistakes of the past. Humans and aliens work alongside in each in great hospitals, facing every emergency with an open mind. ![]() In the far future, it’s a new frontier for medicine. ![]() ![]() ![]() This world is trying to kill Lily Proctor. ![]() It has everything a book should have: action, adventure, violence, a butt-kicking heroine and one hot hero." -USA Today This is one of the best books I've read this year. Eagerly awaited, this sequel to the internationally bestselling STARCROSSED delivers a gritty, action-packed love story that exceeds all expectations. Josephine Angelini's compelling saga becomes ever more intricate and spellbinding as an unforgettable love triangle emerges and the eternal cycle of revenge intensifies. But the hardest task of all will be forgetting Lucas Delos. But time is running out - a ruthless foe plots against them, and the Furies' cry for blood is growing louder.Īs the ancient Greek world collides with the mortal one, Helen's sheltered life on Nantucket descends into chaos. Funny and brave, Orion shields her from the dangers of the Underworld. Just as Helen is pushed to her breaking point, a mysterious new Scion comes to her rescue. Without Lucas by her side, Helen is not sure she has the strength to go on. ![]() By day she struggles to overcome the fatigue that is rapidly eroding her sanity. ![]() By night she wanders through Hades, trying to stop the endless cycle of revenge that has cursed her family. As the only Scion who can descend into the Underworld, Helen Hamilton has been given a nearly impossible task. ![]() ![]() ![]() So she flees to England and then, after living there for 30 years, turns her back on her husband and daughter and goes back to live like a peasant with her former would-be boyfriend. This woman has this pretty terrible life in Iran and she longs to escape and be more than what women could be in Iran. Plus the whole Iranian thing was just annoying - there was a bunch of longing for Iran but without any explanation. The writing is mediocre, the character's voice was hollow and you it's just plain hard to like a book about the complexity of a mother-daughter relationship when you just can't stand either the mother or the daughter! Ironically enough the only characters I could stomach with any semblance of respect were the husbands. This book, The Saffron Kitchen was unconnected and abstruse - without meaning to be. It was smart, well-written and academic - even if it did leave me feeling emotionally empty and discouraged about the Middle East. The last one I read, Reading Lolita in Tehran, did the same thing to me - although at least I felt like I was part of a graduate-level book club. They always leave me feeling frustrated and irritated. I don't know why I keep trying to read books about Iran. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Andersen has a keen eye for social pretensions and vanity, and many of his stories satirize these human failings. The Fir Tree, (in the story of that name) for example, looks forward to being decorated as part of the Christmas celebration and feels sad when her trimmings are stripped away. ![]() Many of Andersen's stories feature personified objects such as darning needles or candles that have thoughts, intentions, and feelings. A mermaid pines for a human prince an ugly toad travels from the bottom of a well to seek something "higher" a starving child imagines ever more beautiful tableaux of prosperity as she freezes to death. Teased by school mates for his awkward appearance and bullied by a teacher who told told him his writings were fit only for the trash can, Andersen persevered with almost desperate devotion to his art and ultimately became known throughout the world as a genius of the literary fairy tale genre.Īndersen's stories are steeped in melancholy and longing, often featuring humble characters who long for love and acceptance into a higher realm of society or more glorious existence. Born in a one-room house to a shoemaker and a washerwoman, Andersen lost his father when he was 11 and left home at age 14 determined to become famous. Like many of his beloved fictional characters, Hans Christian Andersen came from humble origins. ![]() ![]() ![]() Two decades later, Lockwood writes less about Jesus and mermaids than she once did, but the kinetic call and response that characterized her early years online now seems a blueprint for the forces animating her outstanding debut novel, No One is Talking About This, a visceral rendering of an influencer’s life in “the slipstream of information.” Though No One is Talking About This is Lockwood’s first novel, it’s also a culmination of a life made and unmade online, beginning with Lockwood’s transformative “deprogramming” from her conservative Catholic upbringing (memorably captured in her acclaimed 2017 memoir, Priestdaddy), courtesy of deep dives into progressive websites about infertility and late-term abortions. ![]() Rumaan Alam Talks Demystifying His Writing Process. ![]() Danielle Evans On Telling the Truth About History.George Saunders Offers a Master Class in Fiction. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() Translation consists of bringing the words of one language across a no-man’s-land, as it were, in the translator’s mind into those of another. For this reason, we begin with the assumptions that have guided our selection of one meaning or form of a sentence over others and the context that we have imagined for the play’s original performance. All of these readers are dependent upon the decisions made by the translator. (1) Many have had access to Sophocles’ Greek, but far more have read the play in translation. Never in doubt, however, has been the value that modern audiences have placed upon Antigone as a means for understanding the Athenians as well as their own experiences. How he fared with the judges that morning in Elaphebolion (roughly March) is not known. ![]() He also sought to defeat his two competitors for the prize in tragedy and be honored as best. He wanted to entertain and educate his audience, for these had been the duties of poets since time immemorial. Sophocles taught his Antigone to a chorus of fifteen young men for the contest in tragedy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition to these two important works, Arendt published a number of influential essays on topics such as the nature of revolution, freedom, authority, tradition and the modern age. The second, The Human Condition, published in 1958, was an original philosophical study that investigated the fundamental categories of the vita activa (labor, work, action). The first, The Origins of Totalitarianism, published in 1951, was a study of the Nazi and Stalinist regimes that generated a wide-ranging debate on the nature and historical antecedents of the totalitarian phenomenon. ![]() She is best known for two works that had a major impact both within and outside the academic community. She held a number of academic positions at various American universities until her death in 1975. ![]() In 1941 she immigrated to the United States and soon became part of a lively intellectual circle in New York. Born into a German-Jewish family, she was forced to leave Germany in 1933 and lived in Paris for the next eight years, working for a number of Jewish refugee organisations. Hannah Arendt (1906 – 1975) was one of the most influential political philosophers of the twentieth century. ![]() |
