Untying the Mother Tongue


Book Description

Untying the Mother Tongue explores what it might mean today to speak of someone's attachment to a particular, primary language. Traditional conceptions of mother tongue are often seen as an expression of the ideology of a European nation-state. Yet, current celebrations of multilingualism reflect the recent demands of global capitalism, raising other challenges. The contributions from international scholars on literature, philosophy, and culture, analyze and problematize the concept of 'mother tongue', rethinking affective and cognitive attachments to language while deconstructing its metaphysical, capitalist, and colonialist presuppositions.

Dust Collector


Book Description

In his sophomore release, Dust Collector, Kevin A. Johnson continues in his mission to present the truth of God-designed purpose and Holy Spirit power. Johnson ruthlessly reveals the schemes of the enemy, never downplaying the power of dust, once collected in our lives, to keep us frustrated, defeated, and ineffective. He extols us to not live our present lives in the shame of our past sins, but invites us instead to inhale the breath of God's salvation and to receive His cleansing. By detailing a number of principles that lead to godly, Spirit-filled living, Johnson instructs us in ways to rise above life's ashes, encouraging us to utilize the power of God's Spirit in the battle against the enemy for our righteousness.




Reimagining Museums for Climate Action


Book Description

This book is not a typical academic edited volume. Nor does it subscribe to the usual dictates of an exhibition catalogue. It does not seek to provide a comprehensive overview of work on climate change and museums or claim to have discovered One Quick Trick to Solve the Climate Emergency. Instead, the book reflects the main characteristics of the Reimagining Museums for Climate Action project: it is collaborative, distributed, conversational, subversive, nomadic and, at times, playful. The arguments it puts forward emerge through dialogue and speculation just as much as they respond to and build on empirical research. In this sense, the book is perhaps best seen as a partial and in many ways still evolving artefact of the Reimagining Museums project. It can be read from cover-to-cover, or its varied contents can be traversed in a less rigid fashion. It is one “output” among many, and its main aim is to prompt further transdisciplinary alliances, rather than set out a particular position or manifesto. To this end, the book invites peripatetic readings and strange deviations. It is anchored by eight concepts that reflect the diversity and creativity of museums, but it is also motivated by a desire to (re)situate this field within a broader set of debates on the roots of social and environmental injustice, and the role of museums in these histories.
