No creature of habit? Gregor’s dancing dis/abilities in Arthur Pita’s adaptation of Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis מאת Peters, M

"...By translating Gregor’s predicament to the moving human body, the ballet brings into strong relief the corporeal creativity and performance that are as much a part of Gregor’s transformation as horror and social exclusion are.

'Stew without bread or bread without stew': children's understandings of poverty in Ethiopia מאת Camfield, L

"...However, the children’s addition of appearance and clothing, and their explanations of the reasoning behind the importance of these indicators of wellbeing reflect growing inequalities in Ethiopia, where experiences of relative poverty and social exclusion are increasingly common.
