Do Your Own Thing

Richard Phoenix

Sinopse

Do Your Own Thing is a full-length work of non-fiction from artist and musician Richard Phoenix detailing his experiences of the best underground arts scene you've never heard of——Do Your Own Thing, a project run by learning disability arts organisation Heart n Soul.

Looking at the transformative potential of working to support creative young people make the music and art they want to, this book contributes essential new voices, reflections and considerations to the established ideas of 'Do It Yourself' culture. Phoenix's book, written with a disarming and idiosyncratic voice, asks what our often reductive understanding of DIY aesthetics might mean in light of questions about access, support and who gives permission to whom to make art, guiding us through the kind of project only spoken about in funding reports and transforming it into a polyphonic, collaborative and joyful work of art.

BDSM Theories and Observations -...

Jörg Rehberg

Have you ever wondered why you are into BDSM? Why there tend to be more people of the submissive persuasion than those of the dominant persuasion? Why do the maledom dynamic (male dominating female) and femdom dynamic (female dominating male) tend to differ from each other?
''BDSM Theories and Observations'' proposes reasoned answers and explanations to these questions. Taking an inner look at those who are kinky, without assuming it's who you are as a person. "BDSM Theories and Observations" suggests the role of submissive or dominant can be an actively chosen preference, looking at the underlying reasons why.
This is not an erotic book or a "how-to be kinky", but is for those who are interested in BDSM as a sexual taste, seeking potential avenues to learn more about themselves. The information within, is open to acceptance by the reader if seen as logical, and if so, could help some understand themselves a bit more or give an interesting new angle, perhaps even alleviate some anxiety.

North-West Rebellion The: The...

Editors Charles River

The Métis people, later one of the three recognized aboriginal groups in Canada, were an indigenous group that came from marriages between French traders and native women, but Scotch and English cultures were also heavy influencers among the Métis. The term comes from a Latin word for “to mix” and originally referred to the children of these relationships, but the Métis would grow to become a major intermediary between the white settlers moving across North America and native fur traders, and during the 19th century, the Métis “considered themselves a separate nation, different from other people, including the Indians and the French.” 
Like other native groups, as settlers began further encroaching on territory they inhabited, tensions boiled. In June 1816, a group of Métis attacked Red River colonists and their acting governor at a point known as Seven Oaks. Cuthbert Grant, a Métis fighter, had carried out several attacks against the Red River Colony and Hudson’s Bay Company’s posts, and this pattern would continue until the whites were driven out of Red River altogether. 
Of course, that local victory wouldn’t stop the inexorable march of settlement altogether, and over the decades, there would be more fighting, with the most notorious outbreak coming in the 1880s. That resistance movement is widely known today as the North-West Rebellion, and all the factors that had gone into forming Canada as it is recognizable today would be at play.
