The Productivity of Negative Emotions in Postcolonial Literature

This volume explores the possibilities and potentialities of "negative" affect in postcolonial literature and literary theory, featuring work on postcolonial studies, First Nations studies, cognitive cultural studies, cognitive historicism, reader response theory, postcolonial feminist studies, and trauma studies. The chapters of this work investigate negative affect in all its types and dimensions: analyses of the structures of feeling created by socio-political forces; assemblages and alliances produced by negative emotion; enactive interrelationships of emotion and environment; and the ethical implications of emotional response, to name a few. It seeks to rebrand "negative" emotions as productive forces which can paradoxically confer pleasure, agential power, and social progress through literary representation.

Women's Restorative Medievalisms

Revising the histories of medievalism--the processes by which the Middle Ages are reimagined in later moments to varied political, social, and cultural ends--is critical to the field's turn away from its oppressive roots and towards a richer conception of the past. Grounded in intersectional feminist interpretive frameworks, Women's Restorative Medievalisms examines how contemporary women writers engage the premodern past to animate intertwined histories of oppression and resistance in service of visionary futures. These medievalisms create temporal dialogue between the past and the present to restore the voices of women who have been overlooked in medieval studies and medievalism studies. The book's contemporary focus will appeal both to students and medieval studies scholars who seek to understand the field's present value amid the backlash of patriarchal, white supremacist power.

The Spirit of the Earth

The Spirit of the Earth A creative journey into the soul of mother nature. Humanity is 'part-of' and not 'apart from' Nature and the Earth. We rely on her for everything that we stand for, which is why it's so important to look after her. This book is a restorative journey, expressed in photographs and creative words. It conveys the process of regaining our true nature by reconnecting with Mother Nature. There are four processes, in which I have travelled the journey from the beginning, and which can be a guide for others to emulate... Reflection, Reconnection, Strength and Growth, and, finally, Change and Transition. The Creative Spirit is the bridge to becoming connected to the Spirit of the Earth once more. And when we have reconnected to Mother Nature, then we are able to heal our inner nature and fulfil our true purpose.
