Look : poems / by Sharif, Solmaz,author.(CARDINAL)350733; Amazon Literary Partnership,funder.; Minnesota State Arts Board,funder.(CARDINAL)273800; Wells Fargo Foundation Minnesota,funder.;

"Solmaz Sharif's astonishing first book, Look, asks us to see the ongoing costs of war as the unbearable loss of human lives and also the insidious abuses against our everyday speech. In this virtuosic array of poems, lists, shards, and sequences, Sharif assembles her family's and her own fragmented narratives in the aftermath of warfare. Those repercussions echo into the present day, in the grief for those killed in America's invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and in the discrimination endured at the checkpoints of daily encounter. At the same time, these poems point to the ways violence is conducted against our language. Throughout this collection are words and phrases lifted from the Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms; in their seamless inclusion, Sharif exposes the devastating euphemisms deployed to sterilize the language, control its effects, and sway our collective resolve. But Sharif refuses to accept this terminology as given, and instead turns it back on its perpetrators. "Let it matter what we call a thing," she writes. "Let me look at you""--Amazon.com.National Book Award finalist.

Includes bibliographical references."Neither the metaphorical birth of a nation nor its actual violent formation is a one-time event. It is a process. A process of erasing, naming, and unnaming. Settling and unsettling. Extracting, dispossessing, and disappearing--a process of taking and placemaking. It is a tool of conquest, unthinkable without waterways, voyages, slave ships, and hemispheric maps of colonial and imperial demarcation. A companion to the exhibition A Nation Takes Place at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, this catalog examines how artists bring critical attention to the "liquid fantasies" of the sea and navigate race and the violent silences, voids, ruptures, breaks, and counterworld formations unattended by the visuality of traditional maritime art, pushing the boundaries of what marine art is and can become. Situating archival images, artworks, and texts within the visual convention of maritime art, this collection interrogates ways that the imaginaries of seafaring are tethered to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession, and extraction. A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art pairs contemporary artworks with their historical antecedents, representing how the maritime world remains with us as a romantic notion, a space of haunting, a capitalist playground, a violent terrain, a site of resistance, and a place to rethink the ecological imaginary"--Publisher's website."The Western formation of what has become the Americas was born through water. The metaphorical birth of a nation, nor its often violent formation, is a one time event. It is a process of taking, extracting, and dispossessing. Take -- a verb, to lay hold of, to displace things, or people, from where they belong. Nation-building makes property of things, things that were once unpossessable -- land, humans, and water. A Nation Takes Place looks at the many ways artists draw critical attention to the connection between water and nation, water and sovereignty, and water and reimagined ecologies. We look again at the convention of maritime art with an eye toward the ways that the imaginaries of seafaring are tethered to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession and extraction. A Nation Takes Place draws together a transnational collection of artwork , representing a variety of mediums - in an effort to unpack the ways artists help us comprehend the complexity of the United States' formation, a project unthinkable without waterways, conquest, and slaveships. While the archive, with its limitations, provides some access to the past, there are histories that have been erased, histories that remain inaccessible to language, and histories resistant to being written. In these gaps, the artists in A Nation Takes Place help us to fill in the spaces where words cannot. Located near the headwaters of the largest watershed in America, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum (Winona, Minnesota) is an ideal space to stage a project like this. With its commitment to creating meaningful art experiences that explore our relationship with water and organizational responsibility to reframe the portrayal of marine art in ways that give narrative equity to Black and Indigenous Peoples. Drawing from a mix of historic works and archives from a variety of museum collections, contemporary work courtesy of the artists, some emerging, some established, and some newly commissioned for the exhibition, this project centers on artists, scholars, and communities who have been systemically excluded from narratives, practices, and presentations of American marine art." -- from the Minnesota Marine Art Museum website, accessed 2024-10-23.Exhibited: "A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art," curated by Tia-Simone Gardner and Shana M. griffin, presented by The Minnesota Marine Art Museum with support from The Mellon Foundation, Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts, the National Endowment For the Arts, and Terra Foundation for American Art, August 24, 2024-March 2, 2025.

The Great Skills Gap opens with the premise that the exploding scope and pace of technological innovation in the digital age is fast transforming the fundamental nature of work. Due to these developments, the skills and preparation that employers need from their talent pool are shifting. The accelerated pace of evolution and disruption in the competitive business landscape demands that workers be not only technically proficient, but also exceptionally agile in their capacity to think and act creatively and quickly learn new skills. This book explores how these transformative forces are-or should be-driving innovations in how colleges and universities prepare students for their careers. Focused on the impact of this confluence of forces at the nexus of work and higher education, the book's contributors-an illustrious group of leading educators, prominent employers, and other thought leaders-answer profound questions about how business and higher education can best collaborate in support of the twenty-first century workforce"--.

Free women, free men : sex, gender, feminism / by Paglia, Camille,1947-author.(CARDINAL)774665;

"From the fiery intellectual provocateur: a brilliant essay collection that both celebrates and challenges modern feminism--from motherhood to Madonna, football to Friedan, stilettos to Steinem. When Camille Paglia first burst onto the scene with her best-selling Sexual Personae, she established herself as a smart, fearless, and often dissenting voice among feminists. Now, for the first time, her best essays on the subject are gathered together in one concise volume. Whether she's declaring Madonna the future of feminism, asking if men are obsolete, calling for equal opportunity for American women years before the founding of N.O.W., or urging all women to love football, Paglia can always be counted on to get a discussion started. The rock-solid intellectual foundation beneath her fiery words assures her timeless relevance"--Includes bibliographical references and index.
