In the current pandemic of COVID, a topic that remanins topical, is the impact of human activities on the environment, On a daily basis content from scientific research percolates into public discussion, raising a global focus on awarness of the degradation of marine environments. Plastic pollution has galvanized public focus, initiating mass action to reduce consumption of single use plastics and implement reusable alternatives. Though attention and research is focused on commercial fishing activities, little research has been conducted on the contribution that snagged recreational shoreline fishing tackle makes to ghost fishing. To address the impact of recreational fishing on biodiversity the Strandloper Project is studying ghost fishing and reef damage caused by shore based activities. A wide range of species regularly wash up on beaches in the Garden Route, especially after storms and extended periods of strong southerly winds. To conduct a safe rescue and to ensure the best handling of the stranded marine species, it is important to contact organizations that are trained to do so. There is a comprehensive list of the organizations in the Garden Route which you can view on our Marine Stranding page. Initially the objective of the Strandloper Project was to clean up snagged recreational fishing tackle from the reef at Gericke's Point. From our initial clean up we soon realized the extent of the problem and the complex threat to marine biodiversity that the snagged tackle posed required more research directions. The array of rigs that included steel tracers, floating hooks and the incredible lengths of lost fishing line, we set out to research ghost fishing, reef damage and entanglements caused by it. Based in the Garden Route, South Africa, our clean up dive program is arranged on a volunteer basis with dives scheduled when sea and weather conditions are ideal. The Topnaar Community Foundation.

He enters an alternative way of being by evoking a way of speaking, and by extension a way of thinking, that comes from the past. Even as a Cheshire-man, Buckley has a quasi-shamanic sense of his environment and the forces at work around him. Following his arrest, the transportation ship is a jumble of speech-registers and dialects: the journey, we sense, isn't just taking him to another continent. The fulfilment comes when he is adopted by the aboriginal people, who recognise him as a Dreamer, someone capable of mastering the spirit world which is at the heart of their experience. All this is conveyed in the symbolic language of shamanic consciousness. Finally, he returns home, but remains attuned to the spirit world and finds its presence in Cheshire, where he continues his rituals, dreams and dances. The closest writer I know to Garner is Ted Hughes. This is crow poetry become a novel. Jan 20, Veronica rated it really liked it Shelves: fiction. I was spurred to read this by The Voice That Thunders. Garner put his heart and soul into this novel. It draws on his eternal themes of loops of time, myth, identity, spirituality, but it's much harder work for the reader than his nominally children's books. There's no hand-holding by the author -- you are left to figure out for yourself what the Aborigines are doing. It's not a long book, but I got a bit bogged down on the Aboriginal section, which started to feel too worthy and Noble Savage-lik I was spurred to read this by The Voice That Thunders. It's not a long book, but I got a bit bogged down on the Aboriginal section, which started to feel too worthy and Noble Savage-like. But it was redeemed by the final section, when William returns home and blends his two worlds. The real William Buckley didn't do this, but it makes perfect sense in the novel. Perhaps the ending is too neat, but it's beautifully and poignantly executed. Hesitating between three and four stars, I ended up with four, but three and a half would be more accurate. It reminded me a little bit of Riddley Walker -- except it's not nearly as good! William Buckley, transported to Australia in the s, escapes, intending to walk north to China, then turn left for England and home, and end up spending thirty years amongst Aboriginals, taken in as a resurrected warrior and becoming a beloved and respected holy man. He eventually returns home. And that's the story, and a strange, powerful and beautiful story it is, but with Garner it's the language. The words and folk dances of Buckley's home, the babble of dialects and cant on the ship, the William Buckley, transported to Australia in the s, escapes, intending to walk north to China, then turn left for England and home, and end up spending thirty years amongst Aboriginals, taken in as a resurrected warrior and becoming a beloved and respected holy man. The words and folk dances of Buckley's home, the babble of dialects and cant on the ship, the precise and evocative language of the Aboriginals that reflect a whole different way of being. The language represents community, gang, tribe, and Buckley is initiated into each and is subjected to injustice, privation brutality and the ravenous incursion of colonialism, but the language lives on in Bukley, as does the Dreaming, fused into a transcendental final Dance at the climax of the book. It's an incredible, beautiful, funny, mind-expanding, heartbreaking book. Garner working at the height of his not inconsiderable powers. There really is nobody else like him. Dec 28, Geoffrey Gudgion rated it it was amazing. Alan Garner's Thursbitch was such a delight that I opened Strandloper with rare excitement. I was not disappointed. Garner writes with brilliant, bare precision, even if he can demand much of his readers. As the cover tells us, the essence of the plot is the true story of William Buckley, a Cheshire bricklayer who was unjustly deported to Australia in , escaped, and lived for 31 years with the Aborigines. Garner weaves together Cheshire folklore and Aboriginal spiritualism in separate melodie Alan Garner's Thursbitch was such a delight that I opened Strandloper with rare excitement. Garner weaves together Cheshire folklore and Aboriginal spiritualism in separate melodies that blend to create a single harmony. This beautiful and moving tale is not always an easy read; old Cheshire dialect is as obscure as Aboriginal words and the reader sometimes has to look for meaning in the context rather than the words themselves. In a way, it is like looking at a landscape through a stained glass window; there are layers of beauty that reward the eye that is willing to concentrate. Garner says, in The Voice That Thunders, that a writer has to have a sense of the numinous. That single word probably sums up Strandloper. Jun 10, Gail Nyoka rated it liked it. Will Buckley, a young country man, finds that the practice of an ancient rite gets him sent to a penal colony. He escapes to live the next three decades of his life immersed in the lives and dreaming of the aboriginal peoples. The story of Will is also the story of the links between the spirit keepers of two cultures. The book is set in the time period when much of the magic of England has been confined to folk customs, which are being suppressed by the authorities. This suppression and oppressio Will Buckley, a young country man, finds that the practice of an ancient rite gets him sent to a penal colony. This suppression and oppression is extended to other peoples all over the globe. North Americans unfamiliar with the regional dialect may find some of the language difficult. I would suggest letting the meaning filter through the flow of the language. This is a remarkable work.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Strandloper by Alan Garner Strandloper by Alan Garner. Strandloper. Alan Garner. Reviewed by Jason Fisher. [This review originally appeared in Mythprint 47:10 (#339) in October 2010.] Alan Garner isn’t the most prolific of mythopoeic authors, so I don’t feel particularly guilty about reviewing a book published more than a decade ago. Garner has published only one novel since, Thursbitch (review forthcoming in Mythprint ), so in the context of his career, Strandloper is not that old. I also do not feel particularly guilty cannibalizing a shorter review of the novel I wrote almost four years ago—though perhaps on that score, I should! This is a remarkable, luminous, difficult book. It doesn’t do the reader any favors—exposition? bah!—but if you take the time to work at penetrating this seemingly impenetrable novel, the rewards are many. It is the most purely mythopoeic of all Garner’s novels, describing the experiences of William Buckley, a real historical figure convicted in his (and Garner’s) native Cheshire and sentenced to exile in Australia. Once there, Buckley escapes and is abandoned for dead. But he is not dead: he is discovered by an aboriginal tribe, who accept him as one of their own. I will not say more about the plot here, but suffice to say that the novel echoes Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan of the Apes and other novels of the “noble savage” tradition. But it is also heavily steeped in traditional English folklore, as well as the beautiful and inscrutable mythology of the aborigines.

  • Scholarship Boys and Children's Books
    Scholarship Boys and Children’s Books: Working-Class Writing for Children in Britain in the 1960s and 1970s Haru Takiuchi Thesis submitted towards the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics, Newcastle University, March 2015 ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores how, during the 1960s and 1970s in Britain, writers from the working-class helped significantly reshape British children’s literature through their representations of working-class life and culture. The three writers at the centre of this study – Aidan Chambers, Alan Garner and Robert Westall – were all examples of what Richard Hoggart, in The Uses of Literacy (1957), termed ‘scholarship boys’. By this, Hoggart meant individuals from the working-class who were educated out of their class through grammar school education. The thesis shows that their position as scholarship boys both fed their writing and enabled them to work radically and effectively within the British publishing system as it then existed. Although these writers have attracted considerable critical attention, their novels have rarely been analysed in terms of class, despite the fact that class is often central to their plots and concerns. This thesis, therefore, provides new readings of four novels featuring scholarship boys: Aidan Chambers’ Breaktime and Dance on My Grave, Robert Westall’s Fathom Five, and Alan Garner’s Red Shift. The thesis is split into two parts, and these readings make up Part 1. Part 2 focuses on scholarship boy writers’ activities in changing publishing and reviewing practices associated with the British children’s literature industry. In doing so, it shows how these scholarship boy writers successfully supported a movement to resist the cultural mechanisms which suppressed working-class culture in British children’s literature.
