Abstract:
Can doing nothing ever be a wrong or immoral choice? Do you have a duty to keep your word even if doing so is the cause of your own unhappiness in your life? In this work of philosophical short fiction, the narrator and her husband Andy, are stuck in their car on the side of the rode waiting for a snowstorm to blow over. While in the car we learn, through flashbacks, about all the reasons the narrator is unhappy in her marriage. Her wedding was a failure. She dislikes her in-laws, and finds them to be fat, loud, vulgar, and incapable of taking on responsibility. She does not like her husband,

Abstract:
Since its advent with the publication of Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart in 1958, the modern Nigerian novel has engaged itself in the essentialist paradigm of protest. With the turn of the new millennium, however, there has emerged a transnational model in which scores of novels and short stories are written by younger writers on diasporic characters in Europe and America, away from the dogma of combating colonialism and neocolonialism. In what appears to be a manifesto statement of the new direction, Charles Nnolim writes in the influential journal, New Directions in African Literature, def

Abstract:
Bruce Sterling's science fiction novel Distraction (1999) envisions a near-future (mid-twenty-first-century) US in which the economy has collapsed, entire categories of skilled and professional labor have ceased to exist, rampant and endemic joblessness leaves masses of the unemployed to survive on the margins as squatters and scavengers, the infrastructure of entire regions is in ruins (Louisiana is described as “underwater” and the West as “on fire”), and the ongoing crisis has enabled the proliferation of ad hoc governance structures (“State-of-Emergency cliques”), even as democratic instit

Wall painting and history writing. The Set/Setal in Dakar. This study refers to the recent events in the Senegalese history and more particularly to the social movements. The most spectacular one found its leaders in the youth : (students, unemployed young people...). In turns, they resorted to the political commitment (the Sopi), to the violence of riots against the power and the Moors. And then suddenly in the years 1988-1989 they began to paint and draw on the walls, producing the Set/Setal representation and a historical memory against the now out of date nationalist fictions.

Abstract:
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of people found themselves out of work in 2020 and 2021. Going forward, will their pandemic resume gaps be stigmatized or forgiven? In a recent survey experiment in the United States, I find that US adults have negative perceptions of individuals who were unemployed during the novel coronavirus pandemic. When asked to select among fictional applicants for a job opening in the hospitality industry, respondents prefer those who were employed continuously throughout the pandemic. Respondents are about 20% less likely to choose applicants with pandemi

Abstract:
The title of this contribution stems from an observation made while reading contemporary Slovene plays, which have been reflecting contemporary social issues more and more intensely since the 2008 financial crisis. In order to get or keep a job, many people – both the unemployed, often young and from a vulnerable group, as well as precarious workers and even some workers with regular employment – are subjected to exploitation by their superiors and are unable to make a decent living despite strenuous overtime work.

Introduction: Cisgender Black women comprise 67% of new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnoses among women in the South and are 11 times more likely to become HIV positive than White women in Texas. Optimal progress toward ending the HIV epidemic requires strategies that will interrupt transmission pathways in hotspot locations like Harris County, TX. Researchers are calling for public health interventions that can prevent HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI) transmission; thus, we launched the first video log (vlog)-based, pilot HIV prevention intervention.

Abstract:
Margaret Harkness’s London is a city of mobility, both local and global. In her fiction, she utilises a familiar trope in late nineteenth-century urban writing, the figure of the peripatetic protagonist, in order to produce a complex urban panorama. This chapter considers perspectives on the city in Out of Work and In Darkest London from the viewpoints of two kinds of urban walkers: the slum saviour and the unemployed man. It explores the formal conventions wrought by this exploration of viewpoints, most notably, a shift from progressive to episodic narrative development.

Abstract The understudied fiction and poetry of extreme poverty in the US during the Great Depression frequently follows what this chapter calls the poetics of the stiff, a pared-down aesthetics of blunt language, static plot, and minimized characterization that matches the pared-down lives of those whose unemployment drives them to life on the street and extreme poverty, seeming to freeze time in a hungry stasis with no hope for a better future. This chapter charts the poetics of the stiff and contrasts its portrayal of isolated, mostly urban suffering with the more famous and more hopeful ge
