Excerpt from Modern American Speaker: For School and College Students, Lawyers, Preachers, Teachers and All Interested in the Art of Public Speaking The selections in this volume have been collected during the past seven years while the compiler has been engaged in instructing college students along the lines of public speaking. Despite the deep-seated and perhaps well-founded prejudice among educators against so-called "elocution," it is generally conceded that some sort of training in public speech should be afforded students in the higher institutions of learning, as a preparation for professional life and the duties of citizenship. In the earlier stages of the training of the young speaker, practice in giving expression to another's thought has its value, if directed along right lines. It should be thought adapted for presentation to a present audience, and hence on a subject of present interest. This need has furnished the controlling principle in making the selections herein, culled from a large mass of material. Some "old favorites" are included for purposes of ready reference and class drill; but the selections are for the most part from the productions of writers and speakers of the present generation, and on subjects of present interest and importance. A very large portion of the selections have never before been published in any "Speaker." Some partisan speeches are included, but an effort has been made to give each side an approximately equal representation. While it would be impossible to include in a single volume selections from all the prominent American speakers of to-day, still it is believed that the selections herein are fairly representative, and will furnish suggestive examples in the study of present day oratory. When used for declaiming, most of the selections will not require more than five minutes in delivery; and by the omission of a paragraph or two, when required, they can all be brought within such time limit.

Teaching Modern Latin American Poetries written by Jill S. Kuhnheim and has been published by Modern Language Association this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019-11-01 with Language Arts & Disciplines categories.
The essays in this book, groundbreaking for its focus on teaching Latin American poetry, reflect the region's geographic and cultural heterogeneity. They address works from Mexico, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Uruguay, as well as from indigenous communities found within these national distinctions, including the Kaqchikel Maya and Zapotec. The volume's essays help instructors teach poetry written from the second half of the twentieth century on, meaningfully connecting this contemporary corpus with older poetic traditions. Contributors address teaching various topics, from the silva and the long poem to Afro-descendant poetry, in ways that bring performance, digital approaches, queer theory, and translation into action. The insights offered here will demonstrate how Latin American poetry can become a part of classes in African diasporic studies, indigenous studies, history, and anthropology.

This book bridges comparative literature and American studies by using an intercultural and bilingual approach to Chinese American literature. King-Kok Cheung launches a new transnational exchange by examining both Chinese and Chinese American writers. Part 1 presents alternative forms of masculinity that transcend conventional associations of valor with aggression. It examines gender refashioning in light of the Chinese dyadic ideal of wen-wu (verbal arts and martial arts), while redefining both in the process. Part 2 highlights the writers’ formal innovations by presenting alternative autobiography, theory, metafiction, and translation. In doing so, Cheung puts in relief the literary experiments of the writers, who interweave hybrid poetics with two-pronged geopolitical critiques. The writers examined provide a reflexive lens through which transpacific audiences are beckoned to view the “other” country and to look homeward without blinders.

Creating Another Self written by Samuel Maio and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1995 with Literary Criticism categories.
This book makes two significant literary assertions. First, that all first-person voice poetry necessarily involves a "masking" of some kind; and second, that all personal poetry falls into one of three masking modes: the confessional, the persona, and the self-effacing. Samuel Maio supports these claims with an in-depth analysis of the work of representative poets, three for each mode: Robert Lowell, James Wright, and Anne Sexton (confessional); John Berryman, Weldon Kees, and Galway Kinnell (persona); and Mark Strand, Charles Simic, and David Ignatow (self-effacing). Further, the book draws on the work of several newer poets such as Garrett Hongo and Jim Barnes to suggest that personal poetry has had a far reaching influence on 20th century poetry. A work of theoretical criticism, and not a survey of personal poets, "Creating Another Self" suggests that contemporary personal poetry is a distinctive phase begun in the 1950s and coming to a close in the 1990s. The book is an important work for scholars of American literature and for creative writers.

After the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act loosened discriminatory restrictions, people from Northeast Asian countries such as South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and eventually China immigrated to the United States in large numbers. Highly skilled Asian immigrants flocked to professional-managerial occupations, especially in science, technology, engineering, and math. Asian American literature is now overwhelmingly defined by this generation’s children, who often struggled with parental and social expectations that they would pursue lucrative careers on their way to becoming writers. Christopher T. Fan offers a new way to understand Asian American fiction through the lens of the class and race formations that shaped its authors both in the United States and in Northeast Asia. In readings of writers including Ted Chiang, Chang-rae Lee, Ken Liu, Ling Ma, Ruth Ozeki, Kathy Wang, and Charles Yu, he examines how Asian American fiction maps the immigrant narrative of intergenerational conflict onto the “two cultures” conflict between the arts and sciences. Fan argues that the self-consciousness found in these writers’ works is a legacy of Japanese and American modernization projects that emphasized technical and scientific skills in service of rapid industrialization. He considers Asian American writers’ attraction to science fiction, the figure of the engineer and notions of the “postracial,” modernization theory and time travel, and what happens when the dream of a stable professional identity encounters the realities of deprofessionalization and proletarianization. Through a transnational and historical-materialist approach, this groundbreaking book illuminates what makes texts and authors “Asian American.”
