"Through the Distance" was born as an idea based on the last seven years of my life after living in four different cities and visiting more than twelve different countries. Through this journey, I have made amazing friends and seen extraordinary places but the hardest part has always been to leave them behind. I would love being able to bring them with me, to have close to me all the people who I care about the most. Pack them and check them at the airport? Probably not an option.

The Representation of Dance in Australian Novels: The Darkness Beyond the Stage-Lit Dream
ISBN: 9783034304177 / Angielski / Miękka / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is an analysis of the textual representation of dance in the Australian novel since the late 1890s. It examines how the act of dance is variously portrayed, how the word dance is used metaphorically to convey actual or imagined movement, and how dance is written in a novelistic form. The author employs a wide range of theoretical approaches including postcolonial studies, theories concerned with class, gender, metaphor and dance and, in particular, Jung s concept of the shadow and theories concerned with vision. Through these variegated approaches, the study critiques the common...
