Book excerpt: Literature and Character Education in Universities presents the potential of literary and philosophical texts for character education in modern universities. The book engages with theoretical and practical aspects of character development in higher education, combining conceptual discussion of the role of literature in character education with applied case studies from university classrooms. Character education within the academic context of the university presents unique challenges and opportunities. Literature and Character Education in Universities presents perspectives from academics in Europe, the USA and Asia, offering unique insights into the ways that engaged reading and discussion of core texts can promote the development of intellectual and moral virtues.

Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, focusing on themes such as truthfulness, self-knowledge, prudence, tolerance, friendship, and humility. Literature and Character Education in Universities will be of real use to researchers, academics and postgraduates in the fields of higher education, philosophy, and literature. It should be essential reading for university educators interested in character development and advocates of literary education in modern universities.
Download or read book La historia cultural written by Philippe Poirrier and published by Universitat de València. This book was released on 2015-05-16 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde hace dos o tres décadas la historia cultural ocupa un lugar preferente en la escena historiográfica, aunque con desfases cronológicos y distintas modalidades dependiendo de las circunstancias nacionales y, en este sentido, se impone una aproximación comparativa. El presente volumen pretende inscribirse en esta perspectiva, preguntándose por la realidad de un «giro cultural» en la historiografía mundial. Los numerosos colaboradores han aceptado responder a un plan de trabajo en el que, partiendo de la situación historiográfica de cada país, se analicen las modalidades de surgimiento y de estructuración de la historia cultural. La meta buscada no es normativa y contempla un planteamiento que combina el análisis de las obras, las singularidades de las coyunturas historiográficas y la organización de los mercados universitarios.

Download or read book Mestiza Rhetorics written by Jessica Enoch and published by Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-20 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critical bilingual anthology collects and contextualizes thirty-four primary writings of understudied revolutionary mexicana rhetors and social activists who published with presses within the United States and Mexico during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—a time of cross-border revolutionary upheaval and change. These mexicana newspaperwomen leveraged diverse and compelling rhetorical strategies and used the press to advance the early feminist movement in Mexico and the U.S. Southwest; to define their rights and roles in and confront the hypocrisies of their societies’ patriarchal systems; to engage in important debates about education, women’s rights, and language instruction; and to protest injustices in society and construct possible solutions. Because these presses were in both Mexico and the United States, their writings offer opportunities to explore the concerns, struggles, and triumphs of mexicanas in both U.S. and Mexican cities and throughout the borderlands. Mestiza Rhetorics is the first anthology dedicated to mexicana rhetors and provides unmatched access to mexicana rhetorics. This collection puts forward the work of mexicana newspaperwomen in Spanish and English, provides evidence of their participation in political and educational debates at the turn of the twentieth century, and demonstrates how the Spanish-language press operated as a rhetorical space for mexicanas.

Download or read book Genesis del consejo written by Josep Tapiés and published by Editorial Almuzara. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si gestionar una empresa no es un camino de rosas, gobernar una organización familiar suele tener alguna que otra espina de más por la peculiar mezcla de responsabilidades, trabajo y relaciones personales que en ella se producen. En este marco resulta aún más indispensable contar con un buen consejo de administración que sea capaz de decidir, con estrategia y sensatez y no con el corazón y las emociones de los lazos de sangre, el camino a seguir. Los consejos de administración de las empresas familiares han de tener las competencias, los procesos y las estructuras necesarias para responsabilizarse de la marcha de la empresa ante los accionistas, por muy familiares que estos sean. El consejo es siempre el responsable frente a los accionistas del resultado obtenido. Con el fin de guiar y explicar cómo lograr un buen consejo de administración, José María Navarro-Rubio y Josep Tàpies presentan un práctico manual de un órgano indispensable para la supervivencia y el crecimiento de la empresa familiar. Tal y como dichos autores explican, «ningún consejo de administración es totalmente inútil. Y, por lo general, basta con que el principal responsable ejecutivo quiera moverlo –trate los temas relevantes que afectan a la empresa– y con que el presidente quiera que funcione, para que sea bueno».
Download or read book Women and Print Culture written by Donna M. Kabalen Vanek and published by Arte Público Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writers, editors, activists and prostitutes. Women along the US-Mexico border served in many more capacities than simply wives and mothers, though those were their primary roles. Historically, religion was the link between women and the written word. According to the editors of this volume, Mexican women—particularly those from the privileged classes—had access to secular reading beginning in the 1800s. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, several periodicals dedicated to the education of the “fairer sex” emerged. Though the male voice initially predominated, women began contributing poetry and essays to various publications and eventually became editors of their own magazines and newspapers. This collection of ten essays, based on the examination of publications from the US-Mexico region between 1850-1950, explores the role of women in print culture. Leading to a better understanding of women in the history of Mexican border life, the essays are organized in three thematic groupings: “Exploring the Archives: Women and Written Culture in Northeastern Mexico during the Late Nineteenth Century,” “The Cultural History of Women and Print Culture” and “A Transcultural View of Women and their Role as Activists in Northern Mexico and Texas.” The scholars who researched the archival collections of newspapers, magazines and other print matter write about a variety of topics, including the participation of women in the War of Independence (1810-1821) and the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), the belief females were inferior and should not be educated outside the home and even the cultural history of prostitutes. Published as part of the Recovering the US Hispanic Literary Heritage project, this compendium of academic articles sheds light on women’s roles—especially as readers, writers and editors—in the Texas-Mexico border region in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quienes se adentren en la lectura de este libro, escrito para padres, madres y educadores en general, descubrirán en la formación del carácter uno de los objetivos educativos esenciales en la actualidad, donde la familia se sitúa en una posición aventajada y adquiere una responsabilidad ineludible. A través de sus distintos capítulos, se aborda un variado abanico de caminos por los que se invita a transitar al lector, aportándole una perspectiva teórico-práctica sobre diferentes temas vinculados entre sí. Así pues, muestra que los amigos son un regalo para toda persona y al mismo tiempo una tarea por hacer, aportando ideas para mejorar las habilidades sociales y comunicativas que faciliten el establecimiento de lazos de amistad. Junto a ello, se plantean las bases para una educación sexual integral, al tiempo que se propone la educación de la libertad como crucial para la generación de hábitos estables que formen el carácter. Se reflexiona sobre una concepción adecuada del complejo ejercicio de la autoridad y se profundiza en algunas de las experiencias fundamentales para el desarrollo humano como saber perdonar, ser capaz de agradecer y aprender a modular el carácter sobre la balanza de la sobriedad. Por último, se abordan relevantes cuestiones del urgente reto de la educación ambiental desde el ámbito familiar, y se detiene en las posibilidades para la difícil reconstrucción del vínculo afectivo en situaciones de vulnerabilidad, así como en la educación del carácter con menores con necesidades especiales. Un texto que nos facilita la lectura de manera continua a través de los distintos capítulos, o de manera particular en cada uno de ellos si el lector busca la reflexión particular y profunda en un tema concreto. Este libro se erige en los trabajos del grupo de investigación “El quehacer educativo como acción” (EDUCACCION) de la Universidad Internacional de La Rioja. Ha sido financiado por dos de sus proyectos “La educación del carácter como base de la formación integral de los estudiantes de secundaria y bachillerato” (2018-2020) y “El uso de las redes sociales y la formación en valores en la educación del carácter” (2020-2022).
