Technoculture in Margaret Atwood’s Science Fiction Novels

By: Jasmine Sharma

The contemporary mediation between technoscience and philosophy offers overwhelming insights into the literary-critical domain of thought. This book conceptualizes an enriching engagement with questions pertaining to the notion of technology and how its blend with cultural facets makes comprehensive room for the reconstitution of the literary landscape in Atwood’s science fiction (SF) novels. Ranging from the technologies of disciplinary and bio-corporeal power to theorizing gender politics of cyborgian, nomadic and humanoid bodies, from technologizing the consumption of hybrid edibles and lingual epistemology to discerning the hyperreal dimensions of archived tech-memoirs, video gaming and digital sex, the book takes a philosophical approach to technocultural studies, a newly emerging interdisciplinary methodology. It contributes to an optimal concretization of technoscientific exploration in Margaret Atwood’s literary scholarship and adds to the existing field of theoretical acumen within cosmopolitan literatures.

Domestic and Foreign Mutual Funds in Mexico

Do They Behave Differently?

By: Jasmine Xiao

This paper utilizes a new dataset of foreign and domestic mutual funds in Mexico to assess their behavior and obtains three new findings. First, foreign mutual funds are more sensitive to global financial conditions and engage more in herding and positive feedback trading than domestic mutual funds, notably during episodes of market stress. Second, the behavior of foreign funds differs substantially across types of funds: bond funds are more sensitive to global factors and engage more in positive feedback trading than equity funds; funds sold to retail investors, open-end funds, small funds, and regional funds also appear to be less stable sources of capital flows. Third, there is indicative evidence that foreign funds’ trading behavior is associated with higher local market volatilities, notably in periods of market stress; however, domestic mutual fund investors played some mitigating role.

Baghdaddy

By: Jasmine Naziha Jones

Congratulations! Your pain is commercially viable. It's 1991 and the Gulf War rages three thousand, three hundred and twenty miles away. Darlee is 8 years old, crying behind the wheelie bookcase in Miss Stratford's classroom. She's just realised she's Iraqi. Or half. Maybe both. She saw it on the news last night after Neighbours and fish fingers. Heard the fear slipping through the receiver, saw it oozing from Dad's eyeballs and into the living room as he tried to phone home. What she can't process now, she'll be haunted by later; the spirits hounding her will make sure of that... Baghdaddy is a playfully devastating coming-of-age story, told through clowning and memory to explore the complexities of cultural identity, generational trauma and a father-daughter relationship amidst global conflict. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Royal Court Theatre in November 2022.

Veterinary Psychiatry of the Dog

Diagnosis and Treatment of Behavioral Disorders

By: Sylvia Masson

This richly illustrated textbook delivers a functional vision of dog behaviors. Daily applicable, it offers practical solutions for canine behavioral care with a consistently medical approach to disorders. Readers find a thorough introduction to factors influencing behavior, the canine neuroanatomy and physiology, psychopathologies, as well as treatment options. Drawing on the latest studies in neuroscience, ethology, psychology, and psychiatry, as well as the clinical experience of its expert authors, this guide is both comprehensive and accessible. Multiple clinical case studies illustrate and support presented details on medication and therapies. Behavioral pathology is one of the main challenges in veterinary medicine.

Hence, treatment of these behavioral disorders requires an integrative approach to canine health and well-being. The book's easy-to-access and descriptive structure allows many audiences to understand a subject area that is all too often considered complex. It addresses veterinary students, practitioners, and future expert veterinarians seeking approach to deep knowledge, as well as all other dog professionals curious to discover a complementary view with respect for the animal and owner.

City of Screens

Imagining Audiences in Manila's Alternative Film Culture

By: Jasmine Nadua Trice

In City of Screens Jasmine Nadua Trice examines the politics of cinema circulation in early-2000s Manila. She traces Manila's cinema landscape by focusing on the primary locations of film exhibition and distribution: the pirated DVD district, mall multiplexes, art-house cinemas, the university film institute, and state-sponsored cinematheques. In the wake of digital media piracy and the decline of the local commercial film industry, the rising independent cinema movement has been a site of contestation between filmmakers and the state, each constructing different notions of a prospective, national public film audience. Discourses around audiences become more salient given that films by independent Philippine filmmakers are seldom screened to domestic audiences, despite their international success. City of Screens provides a deeper understanding of the debates about the competing roles of the film industry, the public, and the state in national culture in the Philippines and beyond.

Mystery Behind The Disappeared

By: Jasmine Juneja

From the by-lanes of posh South Delhi, a girl goes missing. The question haunts the family as much as the cops who have no clue as to where she could be. Almost a year has passed without a lead in the case. Did she run away? Or something happened to her? …Is she alive?... Or Dead? The disappearance of a smart, intelligent girl while raising numerous questions points to the apathy of the cops and their helplessness at locating her; also points to sinister agendas and facades people keep. Having no leads for months on end, the case has gotten cold. Until another girl goes missing. This time however they receive a video; it’s brutal. The cops must race against time to rescue her, but before that, they must revisit the cold case if they were to have any chance at rescuing the latest victim. Deeper they get, deeper they unravel the mystery surrounding the former. But the important question remains: Will the girls be rescued? Or, lost forever?

Schooling for Refugee Children

A social justice perspective informed by children from Syria

By: Eleanore Hargreaves,Brian Lally,Bassel Akar,Jumana Al-Waeli,Jasmine Costello

Schooling for Refugee Children is a collaboration between five authors who explore their interactions with refugee children displaced from Syria to the Lebanese borders and London. Through a programme of carefully tailored research activities, they analyse the children’s representations of their personal journeys and current circumstances, especially with regard to ongoing schooling. The children’s experiences are expressed through their own words and drawings, disrupting the stereotype of children as ‘receivers’ rather than empowered actors, and challenging traditional solutions for improving schooling. Throughout, the children are eloquent about their schooling in the context of displacement. Their views and illustrations depict a keen awareness of social justice issues, including on the distribution of wealth, recognition of status and representation of voice. These are framed by the authors within Nancy Fraser’s concept of social justice as parity-of-participation. In this way, the book brings to light important representations of some empowering experiences lived through by refugee children from Syria, as well as their thoughts on what has helped their learning and what can be done better. The children’s need for care and a sense of belonging in their schools and new communities is given particular emphasis throughout the book, represented by one child, who simply requested, ‘Add some more love!’
