Sinopse

Sensual Expression delves into the intricate relationship between language and sensuality in literature, examining how words shape our understanding and experience of desire and intimacy. It fills a gap in literary criticism by specifically focusing on the linguistic mechanisms authors use to evoke sensation, rather than just analyzing themes of love and sexuality. The book uniquely argues that language isn't just a tool for describing sensation but an active force in shaping our perception of it.

 
The study progresses by first laying a historical foundation, tracing the roots of sensual expression from classical texts to modern literature. It then pivots to examining contemporary trends in poetry, novels, and short stories, identifying innovative uses of sensual language. By analyzing specific linguistic techniques like metaphor and imagery, the author uncovers how language reinforces or challenges cultural norms surrounding sensuality.

 
Ultimately, this collection of essays provides a fresh perspective on literary criticism, cultural contexts, and gender studies. It makes it clear how crucial it is to understand the power of sensual language, as it influences not only literature but also our broader understanding of human sexuality, cultural attitudes, and the art of writing.

The Color of Civics - Civic...

Matthew D. Nelsen

Generations of Americans have regarded schools as essential for developing the knowledge and civic values necessary for sustaining democracy. Yet, as Matthew D. Nelsen argues in The Color of Civics, traditional approaches to civic education are not living up to their promise for many students, particularly students of color from disadvantaged communities. 
 
 
 
Drawing on lessons from students and teachers in Chicago, The Color of Civics reimagines the democratic purpose of civic education. Nelsen's findings challenge some of the most widely cited civic education research, arguing that the content of traditional civic education courses privileges the political experiences of white political actors, and in turn, contributes to divergent political behaviors and participatory outcomes across racial and ethnic groups. He presents a new approach to civic education that aims to foster political empowerment by centering historically-grounded conversations about current events as well as critical categories of knowledge—those that highlight the agency of marginalized groups. This approach increases rates of political participation among young people of color and heightens political empathy among white youth. Nelsen also explores how the attitudes and lived experiences of teachers drive the implementation of more empowering civic learning environments.
