Rebecca Evans – författare

It''s not until you lose your ego completely...

Completely...

That you can learn, not to hide behind it...

Rebecca Evans wonders...

What has the world come to, when my place maybe a better place than yours? This fictional account shares the authors own experiences with the intention of giving the reader a true comprehension of the battered women''s syndrome.

Evans hoped to create a character the public would find empathy for- but not necessarily admire. As an "anonymous" writer, Evans releases a drama that most people''s predisposition towards prejudice would not qualify them to write about in the first place or to even look at and actually gain astounding perceptions, insight, and brave observations that lend voice with candor to an arduous topic.

This handbook illustrates the evolution of literature and science, in collaboration and contestation, across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The essays it gathers question the charged rhetoric that pits science against the humanities while also demonstrating the ways in which the convergence of literary and scientific approaches strengthens cultural analyses of colonialism, race, sex, labor, state formation, and environmental destruction.

The broad scope of this collection explores the shifting relations between literature and science that have shaped our own cultural moment, sometimes in ways that create a problematic hierarchy of knowledge and other times in ways that encourage fruitful interdisciplinary investigations, innovative modes of knowledge production, and politically charged calls for social justice.  Across units focused on epistemologies, techniques and methods, ethics and politics, and forms and genres, the chapters address problems rangingacross epidemiology and global health, genomics and biotechnology, environmental and energy sciences, behaviorism and psychology, physics, and computational and surveillance technologies.
