This introduction maps the prospectus of the issue, introducing the concept of applied Shakespeare in terms of its roots in the applied, socially engaged and participatory performance practices that ...have developed in a wide variety of educational, theatrical and community settings in recent years. Operating in the nexus between this work and a body of canonical plays that serve as a resource to address the needs of diverse user constituencies, applied Shakespeare is represented in this issue by a series of case studies, which the introduction summarises.
Criniti focuses on the coffin pictogram and the implied editor in the novel as I Lay Dying. To hear the early critics tell it, William Faulkner's "tour de force" novel As I Lay Dying is flawed. ...Faulkner attempted to do something unprecedented in alternating narrators - different even from the prototype he created in The Sound and the Fury due to the frequency of the narrational shifts back and forth. Here, the author wish to point the ongoing conversation about narration in As I Lay Dying in a potentially new direction: the presence of an editorial consciousness. But before doing so, it will first be helpful to review briefly the problems and the so-far-posited solutions.
The Raj Quartet is the dramatic tale of the British conquest of India in modern years. India was the British Empire's "Jewel in the Crown," and the bond between Indians and their colonial rulers was, ...if not least, highly complicated. Paul Scott weaves the stories of many memorable citizens whose destiny is colored by the British law in India. He speaks of the national, personal and historical joys and traumatic incidents under which this law dissolves. He produced interesting identities – Indians and British,Muslims and Hindu citizens – who reflect the dynamic connections between rulers and subjects. He does this in a manner that is neither emotional, neither complaining nor confused.
Descriptions of the Matthean Peter often conclude that Peter is either a "supreme Rabbi," a representative but banal example for future disciples, or even a false disciple and apostate. This essay ...argues that Peter is the archetype and antitype of a Sermon on the Mount disciple, a claim consistent with but more precise than previous scholarship. The verbal, thematic, and structural cues between Matthew's Petrine narratives and the Sermon on the Mount paint a depiction of the disciple as embodying all the highs and lows of the Matthean Sermon with a particular emphasis on the Two Ways discourse (Matt 7:13-27). It examines the Matthean depiction of Peter through the use of his name (Matt 4-10) and the distinctive Matthean narratives that discuss his relationship with Jesus (Matt 14:28-31; 15:15-20; 16:13-23; 17:24-27; and 18:21-22).

Rather than working at the usual scales of distant reading, this book shows what happens when we bring techniques from the digital humanities to bear on a single novel for close readings.
As we entered 2021, we interviewed Riad Sattouf about his Arab of the Future series, reflecting on how comics explore memory and the importance of narrative storytelling not limited to 280 Twitter ...characters or conforming to rigid and oversimplified ideology. Sattouf shared how he understands elements of comics, including the thought bubble and the uses of colour in his comics, as well as his many comics influences. There is an urgency in his work that we explore in this interview: his stories depict the corruption of political promises and ideologies. Sattouf’s work reminds us that human life, and particularly child development intersects in painful and often confusing ways with cultural violence and political oppression. Comics as an art form can help us to depict and contend with the complexities of modern living, challenging and transcending nationalist boundaries.

Journal Article
Biology II is an option-I don't have to be here relieving the dead of their organs, carving out kidneys and spleens and setting the entrails onto a piece of the Rutherford Daily News spread alongside ...the pan. ...there are boats that sit on the water, big and still as giant swans, bustling inside with card games and dice, all-you-can-eat buffets. The green wooden table my dad built and painted is also long gone, passed on to some colleague with kids, while the family of bears that sat atop this couch have been either packed away or relocated to my bedroom down the hall. Another time, she and her crew were sitting in a movie theater, trashed, when the picture turned blurry-some fault of the projectionist, or maybe it was just their own drowned eyeballs playing tricks.
