Jenny L. Davis’ collection brings humor and uncomfortable realities together in order to challenge the academy and discuss the experience of being Indigenous in university classrooms and campuses. Organized around the premise of the Trickster Academy— a university space run by, and meant for training, Tricksters— this collection moves between the personal dynamics of a Two-Spirit\/queer Indigenous woman in spaces where there are few, if any, others and a Trickster’s critique of those same spaces.Trickster Academy is playful at times, yet more complicated and salient issues are at the heart of these poems. Davis’ Trickster Academy deeply challenges the institutions that still hold Indigenous remains in their archives and storage rooms, and the insincerities of the academy when it comes to acknowledging Indigenous peoples. The realities that the poems in Trickster Academy address are not only relevant to people in academic positions. From leaving home, to being the only Indian in the room, to having to deal with the constant pressures to being a ‘real Indian’, these poems illuminate the shared experiences of Indians across many regions, and all of us who live amongst Tricksters.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49586213585169,"sku":"GOR013726769","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53191205650705,"sku":"CIN0816542651G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0816542651.jpg?v=1763483081"},{"product_id":"how-artifacts-afford-book-jenny-l-davis-9780262044110","title":"How Artifacts Afford","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoutledge-Cavendish Lawcards are your complete, pocket-sized guides to key examinable areas of the undergraduate law curriculum and the CPE\/GDL.

This colloquialism reflects the strong connections between languages and both individual and communal identities when talking as an Indian is intimately tied up with the heritage language(s) of the community, even as the number of speakers decline.    Today a tribe of over sixty thousand members, the Chickasaw Nation was one of the Native nations removed from their homelands to Oklahoma between 1837 and 1838. Being dispersed from their lands, author Jenny L. Davis explains, contributed to being disconnected from their language over time: by 2010 the number of Chickasaw speakers had radically declined to under seventy-five speakers.    In Talking Indian, Davis—a member of the Chickasaw Nation—offers the first book-length ethnography of language revitalization in a U.S. tribe removed from its homelands. She shows how in the case of the Chickasaw Nation, language programs are intertwined with economic growth that dramatically reshapes the social realities within the tribe. She explains how this economic expansion allows the tribe to use income to fund various language-­learning forums, resulting in the creation of well-paid and socially significant roles for Chickasaw speakers. Davis also illustrates how language revitalization efforts are impacted by the growing trend of tribal citizens relocating back to the Nation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50464910639377,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50464911491345,"sku":"CIN0816537682G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53708513345809,"sku":"CIN0816537682VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0816537682.jpg?v=1751297464"},{"product_id":"how-artifacts-afford-book-jenny-l-davis-9780262554107","title":"How Artifacts Afford","description":"\u003cb\u003eA conceptual update of affordance theory that introduces the mechanisms and conditions framework, providing a vocabulary and critical perspective.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Technological affordances mediate between the features of a technology and the outcomes of engagement with that technology. The concept of affordances, which migrated from psychology to design with Donald Norman's influential 1988 book, \u003ci\u003eThe Design of Everyday Things\u003c\/i\u003e, offers a useful analytical tool in technology studies--but, Jenny Davis argues in \u003ci\u003eHow Artifacts Afford\u003c\/i\u003e, it is in need of a conceptual update. Davis provides just such an update, introducing the \u003ci\u003emechanisms and conditions framework\u003c\/i\u003e, which offers both a vocabulary and necessary critical perspective for affordance analyses.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The mechanisms and conditions framework shifts the question from \u003ci\u003ewhat\u003c\/i\u003e objects afford to \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e objects afford, \u003ci\u003efor whom\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eunder what circumstances\u003c\/i\u003e.

In today's rapidly changing sociotechnical landscape, the stakes of affordance analyses are high. Davis's mechanisms and conditions framework offers a timely theoretical reboot, providing tools for the crucial tasks of both analysis and design.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51627168694545,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51627168891153,"sku":"NGR9780262554107","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262554100.jpg?v=1751439722"},{"product_id":"extant-book-jenny-l-davis-9781611865738","title":"Extant","description":"The second poetry collection by award-winning author Jenny L. Davis (Chickasaw), Extant confronts the many ways in which Native Americans continue to be associated with the distant past and imagined, even today, as more animal than human. For more than a century, anthropologists, museum guides, and high school teachers have described Native American bodies, cultures, and languages as “endangered” or “almost extinct.” Through a combination of blackout poems, occasional poems, and free verse, Davis rewrites the narrative of what it means to exist, to live in a present shaped by colonial violence that emphasizes the power of survival. Drawing on online question forums, scientific studies, kitschy decor, and the day-to-day musings of an Indigiqueer Native woman, Extant stages encounters of Native survival within a world full of stars, cicadas, earthworms, and moss.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52542428545297,"sku":"NGR9781611865738","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52990343643409,"sku":"NIN9781611865738","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781611865738.jpg?v=1761040628"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-jenny-l-davis.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
