Two sisters come from a modest environment and work as housemaids for women of Peru’s upper class.

The Healing Land
Hatun Phaqcha (2021)

Director: Delia Ackerman
Genre: Documentary

The film showcases the cultivation and uses of various traditional crops domesticated in pre-Columbian Perú. Taking us through the culturally and biologically diverse regions of this country, the film highlights the remarkable health benefits and nutritional value of products that are often unknown or overlooked. Why is it so important to preserve these crops and increase uses in the diets of people across the world?

Silent Trilogy
Trilogia Muda (2022)

Director: Daniel Rodríguez Risco
Genre: Silent Film
English Subtitles

A current of thought unites the three episodes in a coherent way, embodied with few elements, and that makes of space, time, and movement, purely cinematographic modes of expression. Voice is not needed. Yes there are sounds, music, but not human voices, as in primitive cinema. There are faces, slow or fast movements, despair, fatality, a barely glimpsed horror, desire and fear of freedom. There is also love, perhaps as an illusion, rather than as a reality.

Genre: Children’s film

In the spirit of Moana and Frozen, this film is the epic journey of a young hero and her Spirit Guides, “Dillo,” a cute and humorous armadillo and “Vaca,” a goofy oversized tapir, who embark on a quest to save their home in the spectacular Amazon Rainforest.

New e-resource: Adam Mathew Digital: Sex & Sexuality

 

UNB Libraries is excited to announce our new e-resource:  Adam Matthew Digital: Sex & Sexuality.

This two-module collection explores changing attitudes towards human sexuality, gender identities, and sexual behaviours from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries.

Sex & Sexuality provides unprecedented access to a wealth of essential primary sources collated by prominent sex researchers and sexologists, community activists, official organizations, social reformers, and individuals. This resource aims to provide an insight into the wide-ranging breadth and experience of human sexuality from all angles, for example, scientific, historical attitudes, sexuality, and sexual behaviors.

Nature and Scope page Module 1, sourced solely from the Kinsey Institute, presents correspondence, research papers, and records spanning the tenures of the first three Kinsey Institute directors; Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey (1947-1956), Dr. Paul H. Gebhard (1956-1982) and Dr. June Reinisch (1982-1993). 

Module 2 is focused on the experiences of individuals from across the spectrum of human sexuality, including heterosexual and LGBTQI+ experiences, at different times in history--specifically from the nineteenth century to the present day. It also covers the criminalization of sexuality, both in terms of sex work and also the relentless prosecution and persecution of primarily men for "homosexual acts." Includes information on the Stonewall riots and the resulting movements for change, the beginning of the Pride parades, and the devastating HIV/AIDs crisis.

Module 2 includes further collections from the Kinsey Institute as well as collections from the ONE Archives at the USC Libraries, and The National Archives, UK, plus the Edward Carpenter Papers, the Norman Haire Collection, the National Lesbian and Gay Survey, and the Anne Lister Diaries.

Beaver Books for a Dime: A Bibliographic History of the Children's Books of Brunswick Press, 1952-1984

by Susan R Fisher and Margot Stafford

New Brunswick Bibliography Series, Volume 3

This is the story of how an innovative postwar publishing venture started by Fredericton’s Brunswick Press pioneered Canada’s now vibrant tradition of children’s book publishing. Under the leadership of Michael Wardell, and with the backing of Lord Beaverbrook, Brunswick Press became an early adopter of process-colour offset printing, giving it the production capacity to launch Canada’s first modern children’s picture book series in 1952. The venture was aided by the wave of cultural nationalism that followed the release of the influential Massey Report in 1951, prompting a significant expansion in the cultural and educational infrastructure both in New Brunswick and in the rest of Canada and establishing a market for Canadian-published books.

In Beaver Books for a Dime, Susan R. Fisher and Margot Stafford offer a detailed history of the juvenile publishing program carried out by Brunswick Press between 1952 and 1984, compiling a comprehensive review of all the press’s children’s titles, including editions and variants. As well as highlighting this largely unexplored catalogue, this study challenges the established narrative about children’s publishing in Canada, broadening the conversation on the history and contribution of cultural production in New Brunswick
