Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. For as long as people have traveled to distant lands, they have brought home objects to certify the journey. More than mere merchandise, these travel souvenirs take on a personal and cultural meaning that goes beyond the object itself. Drawing on several millennia of examples-from the relic-driven quests of early Christians, to the mass-produced tchotchkes that line the shelves of a Disney gift shop-travel writer Rolf Potts delves into a complicated history that explores issues of authenticity, cultural obligation, market forces, human suffering, and self-presentation. Souvenirs are shown for what they really are: not just objects, but personalized forms of folk storytelling that enable people to make sense of the world and their place in it.' Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic. Souvenir features illustrations by Cedar Van Tassel

Souvenirs are part of global and local travel and tourism in all corners of the world. This book portrays souvenirs as expressions of culture and as triggers of cultural change. The volume provides critique and theorisation of souvenirs of places, people and experiences in the context of lives lived at the margins of society, politics, tourism flows and urbanisation. Case studies in sustainable tourism illustrate dynamic ways that consumers and suppliers use souvenirs to respond to, resist and (re)interpret global and local influences upon cultures across informal, hybrid and formal economies.

Hindsight really is better than foresight, in some instances. A few years ago when my faith was far from overflowing, I wondered why it was at such low ebb. Then I began to recall incidents in my life, which were seeds of faith and, perhaps needed nurturing. Fortunately, I could see the struggling plants and began these writings in an effort to revitalize my spirit. It worked. I have grown through the effort. The experience was like opening a trunkful of old keepsakes, souvenirs of events to be remembered for some reason. Sometimes the memories brought tears, often a sense of pride, many times laughter, but always a deep sense of humility. I felt God watching over my shoulder, wondering at my reactions. This is a part of me. I want to share my hope and faith with fellow pilgrims in a difficult time. Discouragements are many and powerful as the media bombards our senses with a world discord. This can be a small antidote.

I use paint to explore my perception, as an immigrant, of the Australian landscape. Many white Australians struggle with imagining their place in the Australian landscape. As a Zimbabwean born white South African, I carry additional questions. I explore issues of migration, transformation and the animal as a powerful symbol for a sense of place. I interrogate the parallels and contrasts between the South African and Australian landscapes and consider whether my perceptions of Australia are in alignment with what I have seen on the ground, in my travels in Gippsland, Victoria, the South Australian outback and the Northern Territory. My output includes paintings on canvas and paper, monoprints and more recently, video works. I use stencils derived from photographs and pour paint in numerous layers and delicate stains to build up images. I include recognisable motifs of animals such as the rhino and elephant, morphed with icons from the Australian coat of arms such as the kangaroo, to explore layers of recall and familiarity, as well as issues of sentimentality, symbolism, identity, tourist memorabilia and cultural exchange. I aim to give a sense of the complexity of my hybrid history alongside my understanding and appreciation of my local Gippsland environment. Images of migratory animals, including swallows and whales form part of a growing symbolic vocabulary that reflects my own journey south. These animals, familiar and unfamiliar, become 'souvenirs of self' and form part of my research and exploration of my perception of, and my place in Australia.

'One of my favourite writers' Nick Hornby One of the most acclaimed writers of our day, award-winning author Elizabeth McCracken is an undisputed virtuoso of the short story, and this new collection features her most vibrant and heartrending work to date. A recent widower and his adult son ferry to a craggy Scottish island in search of puffins. An actress who plays a children's game-show villainess ushers in the New Year with her deadbeat half-brother. And on a trip to a water park with their son, two fathers each confront a deep-rooted personal fear. With sentences that crackle and spark and showcase her trademark wit, McCracken shows how the mysterious bonds of family are tested, transformed, fractured, and fortified. 'McCracken has a gift for spotting the comic potential in situations many of us have endured... Her prose is stippled with just-so observations' Observer 'McCracken is a totally assured performer: even seemingly throwaway perceptions are often memorably poetic, and there is a hint of melancholy under the comedy' Sunday Times 'This incisive, warm-blooded collection of stories is populated by outsiders... McCracken illuminates qualities of human nature through fragments of her characters' lives' New Yorker

Chinese strange tale collections contain short stories about ghosts and animal spirits, supra-human heroes and freaks, exotic lands and haunted homes, earthquake and floods, and other perceived “anomalies” to accepted cosmic and social norms. As such, this body of literature is a rich repository of Chinese myths, folklore, and unofficial “histories”. These collections also reflect Chinese attitudes towards normalcy and strangeness, perceptions of civilization and barbarism, and fantasies about self and other. Inspired in part by Freud’s theory of the uncanny, this book explores the emotive subtexts of late imperial strange tale collections to consider what these stories tell us about suppressed cultural anxieties, the construction of gender, and authorial self-identity.

"Since 1975, French literary writing has been marked by an autobiographical turn which has seen authors increasingly often tap into the vein of what the French term ecriture de soi. This coincides, paradoxically, with the 'death of autobiography', as these authors self-consciously distance themselves and their writings from conventional autobiography, founding a 'nouvelle autobiographie' where the very possibility of autobiographical expression is questioned. In the first book-length study in English to address this phenomenon, Claire Boyle sheds a new light on this hostility toward autobiography through a series of ground-breaking studies of estrangement in autobiographical works by major post-war authors Nathalie Sarraute, Georges Perec, Jean Genet and Helene Cixous. She identifies autobiography as a site of conflict between writer and reader, as authors struggle to assert the unknowableness of their identity in the face of a readership resolutely desiring privileged knowledge. Autobiography emerges as a deeply troubling genre for authors, with the reader as an antagonistic consumer of the autobiographical self."

Consumption and concepts of the consumer sit at the centre of numerous current debates - academic, political and environmental. This highly readable and stimulating book - a tour-de-force in the breadth of its coverage and analysis - shows how different traditions of thought have constructed different representations of the consumer. Each of these has its own coherence but rarely addresses alternative positions. A key concern of the authors is to identify, disentangle and juxtapose approaches to contemporary consumption which are seldom found in a single text. Yiannis Gabriel and Tim Lang present a number of distinctive portraits of the consumer - as Chooser; as Communicator; as Identity-seeker; as Explorer; as Hedo
