Abstract

Wanneer haar vlucht naar Tokio wordt geannuleerd, besluit de 25-jarige geadopteerde Freddie spontaan naar Zuid-Korea te vliegen en op zoek te gaan naar haar biologische ouders. Wat begint als een korte trip naar Seoul, wordt een lange reis langs stille dorpjes en bruisende nachtclubs in haar geboorteland dat haar nog volledig vreemd is. Hoe meer de eigenzinnige Freddie opgaat in de Koreaanse cultuur en haar zoektocht, hoe harder ze begint te twijfelen aan wie ze dacht te zijn en wie ze wil worden. Return to Seoul is een energiek drama over een vrijgevochten vrouw op zoek naar identiteit tijdens verschillende fases van haar jonge leven. Na de première in Cannes maakte de film van regisseur Davy Chou een succesvolle tournee langs vele filmfestivals en ontving wereldwijd lovende kritieken.

Abstract

"The Bildungsroman - the story of the development or formation of a young man - is the most famous German contribution to the European novel. Most studies of the Bildungsroman have concentrated on its underlying philosophy; Michael Minden addresses it as literature. He offers detailed readings of some of the best-known novels in the German language, from Goethe to Mann, including Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre, Agathon, Anton Reiser, Hyperion, Heinrich von Ofterdingen, Der grune Heinrich, Der Nachsommer and Der Zauberberg. Looking at the novels from the points of view of gender, subjectivity and ideology of the aesthetic, and taking account of late-twentieth-century literary theory, Minden uncovers aspects and motifs which subvert traditional ideas of the Bildungsroman and raise questions about the function and status of literature."--Jacket.

Abstract

Trois jeunes partagent leurs experiences difficiles de passage à la vie adulte. Ils s'ouvrent sur leurs problemes de sante mentale, de maltraitance parentale et de consommation. Ils se racontent retrospectivement dans le premier chapitre de cet ouvrage en soulignant leurs besoins de soutien et l'importance de se raccrocher à l'espoir d'un avenir meilleur pour reussir à se mobiliser positivement. Ces jeunes sont ou ont ete membres d'un reseau d'entraide de type "par et pour", dont les auteurs font mention à plusieurs reprises dans ces actes de l'evenement franco-quebecois Paradoxes -- Colloque sur la transition à la vie adulte. La premiere partie de ce livre est consacree au regard que portent des jeunes en difficulte sur leur transition. En participant à des projets de recherche-action et cliniques, ils s'expriment au moyen de la photographie, de scenarios de films autobiographiques, de la musique et d'une bande dessinee. Dans la seconde partie, des chercheurs et des professionnels rapportent le point de vue de praticiens sur les ameliorations qu'il serait bon d'apporter à l'offre de service pour mieux les aider, l'intervention en situation de parentalite precoce, les politiques penales et les sorties de delinquance en France, de même que la sante des jeunes Français en difficulte. Des scientifiques expliquent ensuite, dans la troisieme partie de ces actes, les resultats de leurs etudes sur la violence subie au cours de l'enfance et la violence subie dans les relations amoureuses, le soutien social offert aux adolescentes hebergees en centre de readaptation, les entrees et sorties de delinquance en France, la construction identitaire et l'adaptation de jeunes universitaires de la diversite sexuelle, puis le vecu d'adolescents des Premieres Nations. A travers ces perspectives croisees, les auteurs revelent à quel point les jeunes vulnerables et en difficulte ont besoin de relations d'attachement saines et securisantes pour bien se developper. C'est dire toute l'importance que peuvent avoir leurs proches et les professionnels dans leur vie, ceux qui creent de bons liens avec eux et les aident à traverser au mieux cette periode de vie mouvementee.

Abstract

"Told through a series of quirky, irreverent short stories and letters home during the early 1980s, The Deaf Heart chronicles a year in the life of Dempsey "Max" McCall, a Deaf biomedical photography resident at a teaching hospital on the island of Galveston, Texas. Max strives to become certified as a Registered Biological Photographer while straddling the deaf and hearing worlds. He befriends Reynaldo, an impoverished Deaf Mexican, and they go on a number of unusual escapades around the island. At the hospital, Max has to contend with hearing doctors, nurses, scientists, and teachers. While struggling through the rigors of his residency and running into bad luck in meeting women, Max discovers an ally in his hearing housemate Zag, a fellow resident who is also vying for certification. Toward the end of his residency, Max meets Maddy, a Deaf woman who helps bring balance to his life. Author Willy Conley's stories, some humorous, some poignant, reveal Max's struggles and triumphs as he attempts to succeed in the hearing world while at the same time navigating the multicultural and linguistic diversity within the Deaf world"--

Abstract

"The meadow outside Bethel, New York, is eerily silent. Yesterday it held half a million cheering young people. Only a few hours ago, the closer, Jimi Hendrix, recast the "Star Spangled Banner" as a firefight in the Mekong Delta. Mark Berger's been here the whole time. Arriving four days early, he helped set up kitchens and paths. During the festival, he worked to calm kids tripped out on acid, maneuvered a water truck through a sea of spectators, and fell in love, twice. Woodstock was the party of the century, the Sixties condensed into seventy-two hours, and proof that peace and love could turn a potential disaster into a mythic celebration of life. Now, it's decision time: Does he board a converted school bus and move to a commune in New Mexico or return to New York City to teach in a community-controlled school district? Something's Happening Here begins in Brooklyn eight years earlier, in 1961, where Berger, determined to be true to himself, pledges to live his life boldly. With buddies like Zooby and Bird, he experiences the thrilling fear of joy rides and the roller coaster of mind-altering drugs. He's swept up in the energy of renegade writers and musicians and connects with the counterculture's spirit. Scenes abound: catching the Drifters at a Brooklyn R&B club; digging Allen Ginsberg reading his poetry in a Tennessee steak house; having ony a few seconds to talk his way out of being drafted. At Woodstock it all comes together--who he is, what he believes, and which path he has to take."--Provided by publisher.
