Sinossi

Controversial Stage Roles explores the compelling relationship between theater, performance, and society by examining instances where stage productions ignite debates about casting choices, character portrayals, and cultural sensitivities. It unpacks questions of representation, artistic license, and the ethics of portraying marginalized groups, highlighting how the performing arts can both reflect and challenge societal values. One might be surprised to learn how often casting decisions have sparked widespread social media outrage.

 
The book progresses by introducing key concepts like cultural appropriation and artistic license through case studies. Subsequent sections delve deeper into controversies related to race, gender, and disability, analyzing harmful stereotypes and productions that misrepresent cultural traditions.

 
Ultimately, it offers a framework for navigating ethical dilemmas in the performing arts, encouraging critical thinking about power dynamics, social commentary, and artistic expression.

    Spiritualism in the Age of Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Allan Poe 
     
     
     
    A woman wearing a black veil convenes a séance. A magician puts a volunteer into a trance. A fortune-teller leans over a crystal ball. Everyone knows what Victorian mysticism looks like because our modern imagery, language, and practice of magic borrows heavily from the Victorians. But we have little understanding of its spiritual, cultural, and historical foundations. 
     
     
     
    What made the Victorians turn to mediumship, hypnotism, and fortune-telling? What were they afraid of? What were they seeking? 
     
     
     
    This book explores the history of automatic writing, cartomancy, clairvoyance, and more. It reveals how Victorian belief in ghosts, fairies, and nature spirits shaped our celebrations of Halloween and Christmas. With historic examples and hands-on exercises, you will discover how spiritualism in the time of Jack the Ripper, Jane Eyre, "A Christmas Carol," and Dracula left such a profound impact on both the past and present.

    It’s time we start looking at career success differently. 
    Perhaps you have heard the expression, “I’m at the bottom of the food chain.” This phrase is often used as reference to a person’s lack of power in the workplace or social group. And if you look at power and success in careers, the goal is typically to climb to the top and become a titan of the industry. 
    But does the top of the food chain hold all the power? Success? What if I told you that some of the most powerful people, right now, are at the bottom?  
    With a nature-based lens focused on careers, this book explores the power of lower-level positions in the workplace. For so long we’ve missed it.  
    You may not have “big wins” and all your career aspirations may not become your reality, but that doesn’t mean you are inadequate or that your value is reduced. Even the most seemingly minor actions, can contribute to something greater. 
    If you are exhausted from the efforts of trying to reach the top and feel like you failed because others around you have succeed in their careers in ways that you only dream of, take a break, and read this book. I’m not saying it's time to give up on your dreams, but it is time to see yourself for power that you have!
