Honger

release date: Oct 12, 2017
Honger
Roxane Gay heeft in de afgelopen jaren openhartige en populaire essays en blogs geschreven over feminisme en het menselijk lichaam. Haar eigen emotionele en psychologische worstelingen geven haar een unieke inkijk in het spanningsveld tussen verlangen en ontkenning, troost en medelijden. Met Honger onderzoekt ze haar eigen verleden - waaronder een uiterst gewelddadige gebeurtenis in haar jeugd die een keerpunt in haar leven vormde - en betrekt ze de lezer op indringende wijze in haar poging om zichzelf beter te begrijpen, om uiteindelijk haar eigen leven te kunnen redden. Met haar kenmerkende eerlijkheid, kwetsbaarheid en kracht schrijft Gay over haar lichaam en haar overgewicht.

Hunger : historien om (min) kropp
”Det finns inget triumferande i berättelsen om min kropp. Min historia är ingen framgångssaga. Det är, helt enkelt, en sann historia.” Roxane Gay skriver med brutal ärlighet och stort mod om sin kropp och sin hunger, om det trauma som drabbade henne som ung flicka och som förändrade allt. Hur ska man kunna tycka om sin kropp när omvärlden bara visar förakt för den?

No es para tanto
En esta valiosa y reveladora antología, la crítica cultural y exitosa autora Roxane Gay recoge piezas originales y publicadas anteriormente que abordan lo que significa vivir en un mundo donde las mujeres deben medir el acoso, la violencia y la agresión que enfrentan. Abarcando una amplia gama de temas y experiencias, desde una exploración de la epidemia de violación integrada en la crisis de refugiados hasta relatos en primera persona de abuso sexual infantil, esta colección es a menudo profundamente personal y siempre es decididamente honesta. Al igual que ''Los hombres me explican las cosas'' de Rebecca Solnit, , "No es para tanto'' resonará en cada lector, diciendo "algo en totalidad que no podemos decir solos".

Kurze, herbe Stories der New-York-Times-Bestsellerautorin: Ein aufregendes und radikal neues Kapitel in der haitianisch-amerikanischen Literatur. Voll emotionaler Wucht und in feinfühliger Sprache ergründen diese Stories die Komplexität haitianischer Identität.

Ein Ehepaar, das mit dem Schiff in die USA entkommen will, bereitet sich darauf vor, Haiti für immer zu verlassen. Eine junge Frau umgarnt mithilfe eines Voodoo-Liebestranks einen Klassenkameraden aus Kindertagen. Eine Mutter nimmt einen Soldaten als Untermieter in ihrem Haus und in ihrem Bett auf. Und eine Frau wird auf der Flucht vor einem schrecklichen Massaker schwanger mit einer Tochter, die ihr Leben lang den Geruch von Blut in der Nase tragen soll. »Mein Wissen über meine Familiengeschichte ist lückenhaft. Wir sind die Hüterinnen von Geheimnissen. Wir sind selbst ein Geheimnis.«

Halb so schlimm
Halb so schlimm darf nicht mehr gut genug sein! - 29 Essays und Geschichten über Vergewaltigung und sexuelle Belästigung - tief persönlich und schonungslos ehrlich. »Alles daran war schrecklich, aber es war halb so schlimm.« 29 Beitragende schreiben über eine Welt, in der man als Betroffene*r von sexueller Gewalt und Aggression die Folgen oft allein ertragen muss und sich einredet, dass es ganz so schlimm nicht gewesen sein kann. Eine Welt, in der Überlebende von Missbrauch – falls sie sich doch trauen, ihre Stimme zu erheben – routinemäßig diskreditiert, verunglimpft, verleumdet, herablassend behandelt, verspottet, beschämt, beleidigt und schikaniert werden. Eine Welt, in der es normal zu sein scheint, in einer Rape Culture zu leben, Kindesmissbrauch zu dulden und auf der Straße belästigt zu werden. »Halb so schlimm« versammelt Essays, die sich oft sehr persönlich und immer unerschrocken ehrlich zeigen, die unsere Welt spiegeln, wie sie ist, und gleichzeitig endlich klarstellen wollen, dass halb so schlimm nicht mehr gut genug sein darf. Ausgewählt von Kulturkritikerin und Bestsellerautorin Roxane Gay. Mit Beiträgen von: Aubrey Hirsch, Jill Christman, Claire Schwartz, Lynn Melnick, Brandon Taylor, Emma Smith-Stevens, AJ McKenna, Lisa Mecham, Vanessa Mártir, Ally Sheedy, xTx, So mayer, Nora Salem, Lyz Lenz, Amy Jo Burns, V.L.

Subverting the Subject Position

release date: Jan 01, 2010
Subverting the Subject Position
There is ample evidence of a longstanding and pervasive discourse positioning students, and engineering students in particular, as "bad writers." This is a discourse perpetuated within the academy, the workplace, and society at large. But what are the effects of this discourse? Are students aware faculty harbor the belief students can''t write? Is student writing or confidence in their writing influenced by the negative tone of the discourse? This dissertation attempts to demonstrate that a discourse disparaging student writing exists among faculty, across disciplines, but particularly within the engineering disciplines, as well as to identify the reach of that discourse through the deployment of two attitudinal surveys--one for students, across disciplines, at Michigan Technological University and one for faculty, across disciplines at universities and colleges both within the United States and internationally. This project seeks to contribute to a more accurate and productive discourse about engineering students, and more broadly, all students, as writers--one that focuses on competencies rather than incompetence, one that encourages faculty to find new ways to characterize students as writers, and encourages faculty to recognize the limits of the utility of practitioner lore.

헝거
"New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay has written with intimacy and sensitivity about food and bodies, using her own emotional and psychological struggles as a means of exploring our shared anxieties over pleasure, consumption, appearance, and health. As a woman who describes her own body as ''wildly undisciplined, '' Roxane understands the tension between desire and denial, between self-comfort and self-care. In Hunger, she casts an insightful and critical eye on her childhood, teens, and twenties--including the devastating act of violence that acted as a turning point in her young life--and brings readers into the present and the realities, pains, and joys of her daily life. With the bracing candor, vulnerability, and authority that have made her one of the most admired voices of her generation, Roxane explores what it means to be overweight in a time when the bigger you are, the less you are seen. Hunger is a deeply personal memoir from one of our finest writers, and tells a story that hasn''t yet been told but needs to be"--Publisher''s description.
