Performativity and Performance By Andrew Parker, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick
1995 | 125 Pages | ISBN: 0415910544 | PDF | 19 MB
From the age of Aristotle to the age of AIDS, writers, thinkers, performers and activists have wresteled with what "performance" is all about. At the same moment, "performativity"--a new concept in language theory--has become a ubiquitous term in literary studies. This volume grapples with the nature of these two key terms whose traces can be found everywhere: in the theatre, in the streets, in philosophy, in questions of race and gender, and in the sentences we speak.
Asma Iqbal, "Pakistani Englishes: Syntactic Variations"
English | ISBN: 0367734761 | 2020 | 114 pages | PDF | 1359 KB
This book explores how non-native speakers, especially in postcolonial states, use English to communicate. Focusing on Pakistan, the monograph analyzes word categories, phrase and sentence structures used in the region and compares them to British English. It draws extensively from language used in the media and uses Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) parsers to develop the phrase structures for qualitative analysis and a manual approach to quantify the frequency of various types of phrases. The volume also highlights the possible reasons for the differences and locates language use in context.

Networks and Grids: Technology and Theory By Thomas G. Robertazzi
2007 | 286 Pages | ISBN: 0387367586 | PDF | 14 MB
This textbook is intended for an undergraduate/graduate course on computer networks and for introductory courses dealing with performance evaluation of computers, networks, grids and telecommunication systems. Unlike other books on the subject, this text presents a balanced approach between technology and mathematical modeling. It covers networking and grid technology, algorithms (routing, error codes, protocol verification) and analysis (probability for networking with technological examples, queueing models and divisible load scheduling theory). This self-contained text progresses systematically and gives students numerous problems at the end of each chapter. Students in electrical engineering, computer engineering and computer science departments will benefit from this book as will engineers and computer scientists working in relevant fields. A separate solutions manual is available to instructors.
Rosalind S. Chou, Joe R. Feagin, "Myth of the Model Minority: Asian Americans Facing Racism, Second Edition"
English | 2014 | ISBN :1612054781 | 274 pages | PDF | 1.62 MB
The second edition of this popular book adds important new research on how racial stereotyping is gendered and sexualized. New interviews show that Asian American men feel emasculated in America's male hierarchy. Women recount their experiences of being exoticized, subtly and otherwise, as sexual objects. The new data reveal how race, gender, and sexuality intersect in the lives of Asian Americans. The text retains all the features of the renowned first edition, which offered the first in-depth exploration of how Asian Americans experience and cope with everyday racism. The book depicts the "double consciousness" of many Asian Americans―experiencing racism but feeling the pressures to conform to popular images of their group as America's highly achieving "model minority."

Modernism and the Theater of Censorship by Adam Parkes
English | February 22, 1996 | ISBN-10: 0195097025 | 256 pages | PDF | 16,4 MB
Adam Parkes investigates the literary and cultural implications of the censorship encountered by several modern novelists in the early twentieth century. He situates modernism in the context of this censorship, examining the relations between such authors as D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Radclyffe Hall, and Virginia Woolf and the public controversies generated by their fictional explorations of modern sexual themes.
