Local Volunteering, Adult Learning and Social Change in the Philippines
Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, this book explores the learning and literacy dimensions of local volunteering for social change in the Philippines. It tells the story of youth and adult volunteers who experience vulnerabilities yet play central roles in local development efforts in housing and sexual health. Why do people who themselves experience vulnerability volunteer to help others? And what are their learning experiences in the process? In its unique application of a literacy lens to the study of volunteering, the book unravels how marginalised groups, often seen as 'thankful receivers', (re)use texts, words and labels to (re)define their roles in shaping social change and for whose benefit. Chris Millora provides an in-depth look into the volunteers' everyday activities such as delivering community health classes, filling out donor forms and applying for government approvals. In doing so, this book reveals how volunteers' voices and agency were constrained to fit a certain bureaucratic way of working. It offers powerful case studies on how global development agendas such as value-for-money, upskilling and professionalisation - through bureaucratic literacies - impact the experiences of volunteers at the grassroots level. Arguing that literacy and volunteering could enhance inequalities within groups, this book calls for a renewed focus on the role that power and identities play both in adult/youth literacy and volunteering research.

Interpreting in Asylum Procedures
This book introduces dialogist interpretation as an innovative approach within interpreting studies, offering a critical examination of interpreter-mediated asylum encounters. Based on a case study of a legal consultation in the Netherlands, the book reveals how internal dialogues, linguistic assumptions, institutional constraints and systemic biases influence credibility assessments and shape asylum narratives. Drawing on the author's experience as a researcher, interpreter and former asylum seeker, this study examines the power dynamics between interpreters, legal professionals, asylum seekers and the institutional structures governing legal procedures. Through detailed textual analysis and reflective interviews, it demonstrates the active role interpreters play and offers a new paradigm for understanding and improving asylum procedures. Challenging dominant narratives and calling for systemic reform, this book offers practical recommendations for interpreters, educators, legal professionals and policymakers as well as essential insights for scholars in interpreting studies, law and communication.

Constructing Black Consciousness in Postcolonial Literature
The book critically investigates how postcolonial African literature engages with the ideology and aesthetics of Black Consciousness. Anchored in the apartheid aftermath, the book explores how Magona's *Mother to Mother* reconstructs identity, revives suppressed histories, and provokes political awareness. Drawing from Steve Biko's vision, the research analyzes Black Consciousness as both a political tool and literary technique. The novel's first-person maternal narrative offers a deeply personal account of Amy Biehl's 1993 killing, rehumanizing both victim and perpetrator, while exposing generational trauma and institutionalized violence. The study highlights Magona's decolonial storytelling, rooted in indigenous knowledge, affective memory, and oral tradition. By portraying mothering as a metaphor for cultural survival and national healing, the book positions the novel as a transformative postcolonial text that confronts historical injustice and envisions paths toward empathy, dignity, and liberation.

VP Shells and Argument Structure in Lubukusu
This monograph is about the application of Chomsky's (1995) Minimalism program together with the VP Shell Hypothesis on Lubukusu verbs. The point is Lubukusu verbal arguments are morphologically initiated hence posing a challenge of fitting in the limited positions available in the VP Shell structure proposed by Larson (1988). From the outset of data analysis, it is found out that the VP Shell Structure proves futile to Lubukusu predicates thereby forcing the study to come up with an alternative solution. The study proposes the application of the verbal feature theory instead of the VP Shell theory since Lubukusu (Bantu) predicates yield morphological arguments in form of the numerous verbal extensions that require their own head positions in the structure. In the end, it is concluded that the light verb in the VP Shell Hypothesis is replaced with a verbal feature/ voice in Lubukusu.
The Experience of Translation
Campbell, Vidal and their contributors expand the notion of translation beyond linguistic, modal and medial borders to embrace posthumanist perspectives through a holistic experiential epistemology which envisions translation as engaged, situated social practice.The first of two volumes, this book focuses on questions of materiality and play. Drawing together contributions on theory, methodology and practice from translators, scholars and practitioners working in the creative and performing arts, this book explores how contemporary, experiential acts of interpretation, mediation and negotiation can serve to bridge social and cultural discontinuities across time and space. These range from ancestral past to digital present, from rural to urban environments across the globe. Experiential translation applies a transdisciplinary lens to problematize views of translation and untranslatability traditionally bound by structuralist frames of reference and the reserve of professional linguistic translation. The chapters in this book apply this experiential lens to understand a pluriverse of creative translation practices where the translator's subject position in relation to the 'original' is transformed by the role of experimentation, creativity and play.This book and its companion volume The Translation of Experience: Cultural Artefacts in Experiential Translation will be of particular interest to translators and arts practitioners, scholars and researchers in the transdisciplinary field of humanities.The Open Access version of this book, available at http: //www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.Funding: This work was supported by UKRI under AHRC Grant AH/V008234/1, awarded to Ricarda Vidal, King's College London (Principal Investigator) and Madeleine Campbell, University of Edinburgh (Co-Investigator).

Monsters in the Archives
A fascinating, first-of-its-kind exploration of Stephen King and his most iconic early books, based on groundbreaking research and interviews with King--all conducted by the first scholar to be given extended access to his private archives "A treat for fans of Stephen King."--Paul Tremblay"A master class in craft--and a peek behind the curtain."--Stephen Graham Jones"Illuminating and original."--Amy Tan"It will be treasured by admirers of King's novels and is a must read for anyone curious about how great books get written."--James Shapiro, Professor of English, Columbia University A LIT HUB MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR After Caroline Bicks was named the University of Maineʼs inaugural Stephen E. King Chair in Literature, she became the first scholar to be granted extended access by King to his private archives, a treasure trove of manuscripts that document the legendary writerʼs creative process--most of them never before studied or published. The year she spent exploring King's early drafts and hand-written revisions was guided by one question millions of Kingʼs enthralled and terrified readers (including her) have asked themselves: What makes Stephen King's writing stick in our heads and haunt us long after we've closed the book? Bicks focuses on five of his most iconic early works--The Shining, Carrie, Pet Sematary, ʼSalemʼs Lot, and Night Shift--to reveal how he crafted his language, story lines, and characters to cast his enduring literary spells. While tracking King's margin notes and editorial changes, she discovered scenes and alternative endings that never made it to print but that King is allowing her to publish now. The book also includes interviews Bicks had with King along the way that reveal new insights into his writing process and personal history. Part literary master class, part biography, part memoir and investigation into our deepest anxieties, Monsters in the Archives--authorized by Stephen King himself--is unlike anything ever published about the master of horror. It chronicles what Bicks found when she set out to unearth how King crafted some of his scariest, most iconic moments. But it's also a story about a grown-up English professor facing her childhood fears and getting to know the man whose monsters helped unleash them.
