It is the poetry of everyday speech, the people's poetry, and it deserves attention as language playing on the cusp of art. In Slang: The People's Poetry, Adams covers this perennially interesting subject in a serious but highly engaging way, illuminating the fundamental question ""What is Slang"" and defending slang--and all forms of nonstandard English--as integral parts of the American language.

Marginalization, eating disorders, altered bodies, breastfeeding, silent films, the truth behind angels and zombies, these topics are all explored in this exciting volume. Where do we draw the line between ‘the body’ and ‘the other’? What does it really mean to meld the body with the biomechanical? Taking evidence from popular culture and well-known theorists worldwide, Bigger Than Bones explores how we are more than just our skeletal blueprint, that the body – and the perceptions of the body – give way to many layers of debate and inquiry. From being displaced by left-handedness to obtaining wings made from the dead, this collection provides a wide variety of material focused on the body’s transformation, as well as the horror and the gifts it brings.Body image in literatureBody image in motion picturesBody image in literature.Body image in motion pictures.809.933561Jenkins HaleyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826129903321Bigger than bones3961036UNINA03773oam 2200673I 450 991095866250332120251117093147.01-136-34659-70-203-04589-01-283-96597-61-136-34652-X10.4324/9780203045893 (CKB)2670000000325330(EBL)1111733(OCoLC)826856004(SSID)ssj0000819842(PQKBManifestationID)11436092(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000819842(PQKBWorkID)10856808(PQKB)10002972(MiAaPQ)EBC1111733(Au-PeEL)EBL1111733(CaPaEBR)ebr10645695(CaONFJC)MIL427847(OCoLC)828736738(OCoLC)825767904(FINmELB)ELB135402(EXLCZ)99267000000032533020180331d2003 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrGreece in the twentieth century /editors, Theodore A.
