Joanne Tompkins travelled to the Baffin Island community of Anurapaqtuq to take on the job of principal at the local school. This is the fascinating story of her experiences in the four years she spent there and the many challenges she faced.On her arrival in the Inuit village, Tompkins found struggling teachers and failing students in a community that was grappling with social and economic change. Outlining strategies that worked and others that failed, she gives a vivid account of the day-to-day trials and rewards that she and community members experienced as they worked to create a productive and exciting school environment.This engaging and informative account of change in an Inuit school will be of great use to educators and administrators, and appeal to general readers as well. One educator who read the manuscript paid it the compliment of comparing it to Sylvia Ashton-Warner's classic tale of teaching Maori children, Teacher.

Dans l'État brumeux de Washington, Isaac traverse seul le deuil de son fils adolescent, Daniel, assassiné par son meilleur ami Jonah. Ce dernier se suicide et le monde de sa mère Lorrie s'effondre à son tour. Il n'y a aucune explication à ce drame. Isaac et Lorrie, autrefois amis, s'évitent telles des ombres séparées par leurs pertes incommensurables. Jusqu'à l'apparition soudaine d'une sans-abri de seize ans, enceinte. Recueillie par Isaac, accompagnée par Lorrie, Evangeline devient un rai de lumière dans leur vie. Mais une révélation éclate : la jeune fille avait croisé le chemin des garçons la semaine du meurtre. Tous trois devront confronter leurs souvenirs douloureux. Car comprendre le passé est leur seule chance de pouvoir se tourner vers l'avenir. Émaillé de moments de grâce, Ce qui vient après est un premier roman lumineux, profondément émouvant, empli de foi en l'âme humaine. (éditeur)

'Anyone engaged in the critical evaluation of individual productions of A Doll House would do well to consult this groundbreaking presentation of an international baseline of performance interpretation, one based in a cumulative historical practice that up to this point has eluded scholarly analysis due to the inherent limitations of existing methods.' - Mark Sandberg, Professor of Film & Media and Scandinavian Studies, University of California, Berkeley, USA 'Digital humanities meet Ibsen, revealing astonishing patterns and amazing diversity. This first global history of one of the world’s most famous plays is a landmark contribution to Ibsen scholarship, performance history and cultural studies.' - Narve Fulsås, Professor of Modern History, University of Tromsø, Norway 'A very fine example of the new field of digital humanities, A Global Doll's House is a model exploration of the possibilities which new technologies offer, using them to provide precise and incisive answers to formerly unsolvable questions. It is, in fact, an important contribution to Ibsen Studies.' – Erika Fischer- Lichte, Professor of Theatre Studies, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany This book addresses a deceptively simple question: what accounts for the global success of A Doll’s House, Henrik Ibsen’s most popular play? Using maps, networks, and images to explore the world history of the play’s production, this question is considered from two angles: cultural transmission and adaptation. Analysing the play’s transmission reveals the social, economic, and political forces that have secured its place in the canon of world drama; a comparative study of the play’s 135-year production history across five continents offers new insights into theatrical adaptation. Key areas of research include the global tours of nineteenth-century actress-managers, Norway’s soft diplomacy in promoting gender equality, representations of the female performing body, and the sexual vectors of social change in theatre.

This pioneering study harnesses virtual reality to uncover the history of five venues that have been 'lost' to us: London's 1590s Rose Theatre; Bergen's mid-nineteenth-century Komediehuset; Adelaide's Queen's Theatre of 1841; circus tents hosting Cantonese opera performances in Australia's goldfields in the 1850s; and the Stardust showroom in 1950s Las Vegas. Shaping some of the most enduring genres of world theatre and cultural production, each venue marks a significant cultural transformation, charted here through detailed discussion of theatrical praxis and socio-political history. Using virtual models as performance laboratories for research, Visualising Lost Theatres recreates the immersive feel of venues and reveals performance logistics for actors and audiences. Proposing a new methodology for using visualisations as a tool in theatre history, and providing 3D visualisations for the reader to consult alongside the text, this is a landmark contribution to the digital humanities.
