The Representation of Children in Contemporary African Fiction
Filled with interesting and original insights, Children in Contemporary African Fiction makes for engrossing reading, both for the general reader and the academic.With a keynote tone at once empathetic and non-sentimental John Kearney explores an impressive number of novels by writers from a variety of African countries. He displays special concern with the experience of family life, school life and religion; different kinds and levels of deprivation; and the exploitative uses of children by adults, among them the use of children as soldiers in harsh conflict situations.He also shows great adroitness and understanding in discussing issues of developing sexuality raised in several of the novels.Despite their variety, a central thread links these works: the authors of the chosen works allow their central characters to be involved in the construction of their own lives (however limited in some cases their degree of agency may be).At the same time, most of these novelists make their focus as realistic as possible, resisting the idealisation of their child characters – or what John Kearney refers to as `sacralisation’.

Picturebooks: Representation and Narration
This volume discusses the aesthetic and cognitive challenges of modern picturebooks from different countries, such as Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, and USA.The overarching issue concerns the mutual relationship between representation and narration by means of the picturebooks’ multimodal character.Moreover, this volume includes the main lines of debate and approaches to picturebooks by international leading researchers in the field.Topics covered are the impact of paratexts and interpictorial allusions, the relationship between artists’ books, crossover picturebooks, and picturebooks for adults, the narrative defiance of wordless picturebooks, the representation of emotions in images and text, and the depiction of hybrid characters in picturebooks.The enlargement of the picturebook corpus beyond an Anglo-American picturebook canon opens up new horizons and highlights the diverging styles and genre shifts in modern picturebooks.This tendency also demonstrates the influence of specific authors and illustrators on the appreciation of the picturebook genre, as in the case of Astrid Lindgren’s picturebooks and the picturebooks created by renowned illustrators, such as Anthony Browne, Wolf Erlbruch, Stian Hole, and Bruno Munari.This book will be the definite contribution to contemporary picturebook research for many years to come.

The Concept of Representation
Being concerned with representation, this book is about an idea, a concept, a word.It is primarily a conceptual analysis, not a historical study of the way in which representative government has evolved, nor yet an empirical investigation of the behavior of contemporary representatives or the expectations voters have about them.Yet, although the book is about a word, it is not about mere words, not merely about words.For the social philosopher, for the social scientist, words are not "mere"; they are the tools of his trade and a vital part of his subject matter.Since human beings are not merely political animals but also language-using animals, their behavior is shaped by their ideas.What they do and how they do it depends upon how they see themselves and their world, and this in turn depends upon the concepts through which they see.Learning what "representation" means and learning how to represent are intimately connected.But even beyond this, the social theorist sees the world through a network of concepts.Our words define and delimit our world in important ways, and this is particularly true of the world of human and social things. For a zoologist may capture a rare specimen and simply observe it; but who can capture an instance of representation (or of power, or of interest)?Such things, too, can be observed, but the observation always presupposes at least a rudimentary conception of what representation (or power, or interest) is, what counts as representation, where it leaves off and some other phenomenon begins.Questions about what representation is, or is like, are not fully separable from the question of what "representation" means.This book approaches the former questions by way of the latter.

Shakespeare and Queer Representation
In this engaging and accessible guidebook, Stephen Guy-Bray uses queer theory to argue that in many of Shakespeare’s works representation itself becomes queer. Shakespeare often uses representation, not just as a lens through which to tell a story, but as a textual tool in itself.Shakespeare and Queer Representation includes a thorough introduction that discusses how we can define queer representation, with each chapter developing these theories to examine works that span the entire career of Shakespeare, including his sonnets, Venus and Adonis, The Rape of Lucrece, King John, Macbeth, and Cymbeline.The book highlights the extent to which Shakespeare’s works can be seen to anticipate, and even to extend, many of the insights of the latest developments in queer theory. This thought-provoking and evocative book is an essential guide for students studying Shakespeare and Renaissance literature, gender studies, and queer literary theory.

Representation Theory : A First Course
The primary goal of these lectures is to introduce a beginner to the finite dimensional representations of Lie groups and Lie algebras.Since this goal is shared by quite a few other books, we should explain in this Preface how our approach differs, although the potential reader can probably see this better by a quick browse through the book.Representation theory is simple to define: it is the study of the ways in which a given group may act on vector spaces.It is almost certainly unique, however, among such clearly delineated subjects, in the breadth of its interest to mathematicians.This is not surprising: group actions are ubiquitous in 20th century mathematics, and where the object on which a group acts is not a vector space, we have learned to replace it by one that is {e. g. , a cohomology group, tangent space, etc. }. As a consequence, many mathematicians other than specialists in the field {or even those who think they might want to be} come in contact with the subject in various ways.It is for such people that this text is designed. To put it another way, we intend this as a book for beginners to learn from and not as a reference.This idea essentially determines the choice of material covered here.As simple as is the definition of representation theory given above, it fragments considerably when we try to get more specific.
