Show, don't tell is probably the single most-important piece of advice given to writers. But many writers struggle to understand this powerful principle or have difficulty applying it to their own work. Even experienced authors sometimes don't grasp the finer nuances of showing and telling. In this book, Sandra Gerth draws on her experience as an editor and a best-selling author to show you how to show and tell you when to tell. Each chapter includes concrete examples and exercises that will hone your writing skills. Whether you're a novice writer working on your first story or an established author who has already learned the basics of showing and telling, this book will help you to: - Grasp the difference between showing and telling. - Understand why showing is such a powerful tool. - Spot telling in your own manuscript.

Literature and the New Culture Wars: Triggers, Cancel Culture, and the Teacher's Dilemma

Can educators continue to teach troubling but worthwhile texts? Our current 'culture wars' have reshaped the politics of secondary literature instruction. Due to a variety of challenges from both the left and the right-to language or subject matter, to potentially triggering content, or to authors who have been canceled-school reading lists are rapidly shrinking. For many teachers, choosing which books to include in their curriculum has become an agonizing task with political, professional, and ethical dimensions. In Literature and the New Culture Wars, Deborah Appleman calls for a reacknowledgment of the intellectual and affective work that literature can do, and offers ways to continue to teach troubling texts without doing harm. Rather than banishing challenged texts from our classrooms, she writes, we should be confronting and teaching the controversies they invoke. Her book is a timely and eloquent argument for a reasoned approach to determining what literature still deserves to be read and taught and discussed.

Manorism

Brought to you by Penguin. Impassioned, insightful, electric, Manorism is a poetic examination of the lives of Black British men and boys: propped up and hemmed in by contemporary masculinity, deepened by family, misrepresented in the media, and complicated by the riches, and the costs, of belonging and inheritance. It is also an exploration of the differences of impunity afforded to white and Black people, and to white and Black artists. Caravaggio - originally, unexpectedly - looms large: as a man who moved between spheres of exalted patronage and petty criminality; as a painter who, amid the elegant conventions of late Mannerism, forged his own style of visceral dark and light; and as an individual whose recognized genius was allowed to legitimate and excuse his violence. In this profound and moving debut, Yomi Sode asks: what does it mean to find oneself between worlds - to 'code-switch', adapting one's speech and manners to widely differing cultural contexts? Who is, and who isn't, allowed to be more than their origins? And what do we owe each other? What do we owe ourselves? The audiobook includes archival recordings with friends and family, and music by Nutty P.

A epidítica como fundamento retórico e educacional na nova retórica de Chaïm Perelman

Chaïm Perelman (1912-1984) é um nome importante entre os estudiosos da argumentação, no século XX. Expôs sua teoria no livro Tratado da Argumentação A Nova Retórica (1958), após uma infrutífera tentativa de formalização lógica dos valores. Sua teoria recebeu o nome de nova retórica, porque revisitou as três formas clássicas de argumentação judiciária, deliberativa e epidítica , e apresentou várias inovações quanto à tradição retórica de matiz aristotélica. Defendemos a tese de que, a partir da nova retórica, as formas argumentativas judiciária e deliberativa podem, na verdade, ser reduzidas essencialmente à epidítica e que esta, por sua vez, tem um forte valor educacional, aos moldes da paideia grega. No intuito de comprovarmos isso, partiremos do modo como Perelman inicialmente pretendeu associar os valores à lógica formal. Apresentaremos algumas de suas críticas ao positivismo lógico e ao juspositivismo e, subsequentemente, pontuaremos os motivos de Perelman ter resgatado o estudo da retórica e suas nuances em linguagem natural, as quais não haviam sido devidamente percebidas pela tradição. Enfim, justificaremos o porquê de o discurso epidítico se situar como essencial às demais formas argumentativas, destacando seu papel na transmissão dos valores, a partir do esquema lógico-argumentativo da nova retórica e de discursos deliberativos e judiciários, dos quais procuraremos extrair seus respectivos núcleos epidíticos.
