Falling into place : an intimate geography of home

Book
Borrowed time
\"In a village in Lebanon, an old man prepares for his final journey. But right to the end he remains defiant - against his age, his failing body and the whims of memory. Against the idle life his children try to impose on him; and, against their indifference, cruelty and greed.\" \"The past and present collide, dreams and reminiscences become confused, and gradually he begins to lose his bearings. Yet he refuses to accept the inevitable, boldly repeating, 'The Angel of Death cannot touch me'.\"--Jacket.

Autoethnography: An Overview
Autoethnography is an approach to research and writing that seeks to describe and systematically analyze personal experience in order to understand cultural experience. This approach challenges canonical ways of doing research and representing others and treats research as a political, socially-just and socially-conscious act. A researcher uses tenets of autobiography and ethnography to do and write autoethnography. Thus, as a method, autoethnography is both process and product.

The beat goes on : the complete Rebus short stories
There is no detective like DI Rebus. Brilliant, irascible and endlessly frustrating to both his friends and his long-suffering bosses, he has made the dark places of Edinburgh his comfort and his home for over two decades. From his beginnings as a young Detective Constable in \"Dead and Buried,\" right up to his dramatic -- but as it turns out, not quite final -- retirement in \"The Very Last Drop,\" we see one of the most compelling, brilliant and mesmeric characters of modern times in his every guise and very much in his element. The Beat Goes On combines much-loved classics with previously unpublished gems from other media, and includes two brand-new stories written specifically for this collection -- \"The Passenger\" and \"A Three-Pint Problem.\" This is the ultimate Ian Rankin treasure trove, a must-have book for aficionados and crime lovers as well as a superb introduction from anyone looking to experience DI John Rebus, and the dark and twist-filled crimes he has to investigate, for the very first time.

Allegory and the Poetic Self
The rise of an influential new family of poetry in the
Middle Ages
This book is the first collective examination of late medieval
intimate first-person narratives that blur the lines between
author, narrator, and protagonist and usually feature
personification allegory and courtly love tropes, creating an
experimental new family of poetry. In this volume, contributors
analyze why the allegorical first-person romance embedded itself in
the vernacular literature of Western Europe and remained popular
for more than two centuries.
The editors identify and discuss three predominant forms within
this family: debate poetry, dream allegories, and autobiographies.
Contributors offer textual analyses of key works from late medieval
German, French, Italian, and Iberian literature, with discussion of
developments in England, as well.
Allegory and the Poetic Self offers a sophisticated,
theoretically current discussion of relevant literature. This
exploration of medieval \"I\" narratives offers insights not just
into the premodern period but also into Western literature's
subsequent traditions of self-analysis and identity crafting
through storytelling.

Immersive Stories: From Technological Determinism Towards Narrative Determinism
Following the wave of immersive production that occurred between 2015 and 2018, and in the face of new virtual, augmented, and mixed-reality devices, this article discusses the need to move from a technology- or device-focused perspective in the analysis and use of immersive technology towards a story-focused or story-first perspective. It starts with a technological perspective, contextualising the evolution of immersive technologies and their interpretation from a technological determinism point of view. Secondly, the ecological perspective provides an integrative reading of the technique, its use, and its experience, based on the concept of the environment. Finally, and after acknowledging previous research on the effects of immersive media on the audience, the article considers the narrative elements that are reinforced by immersive technologies in journalism and nonfiction, based on the qualitative analysis of projects. The article highlights narrative resources associated with the social character of the story, the spatio-temporal framework, and the emotional impact. It suggests a shift towards “narrative determinism,” which would allow us to analyse and employ immersive resources in terms of their contribution to storytelling and to overcome the limitations of perspectives that are highly dependent on specific platforms or technologies.
