Download or read book The Racialized Nature of Academic Language written by Sultan Turkan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the marginalization that English as additional language (EAL) learners, immigrant or language-minoritized people confront when learning to socialize into using the language of schooling. The authors examine racialized academic language not to dismiss it, but to scrutinize its presence and impact on individuals' lives. Beginning with connections between eugenics, intelligence, whiteness, language, monolingualism and bilingualism, it then reviews current practices, and how the construction of academic language in various schooling and non-schooling contexts creates hegemonic structures that perpetuate deficit perspectives. The final section envisions what could help dismantle the power knots that academic language holds in systemic structures. This is a vital book for teachers, teacher educators, and policy makers who refuse the deficiency orientations placed on non-standardized use of language at schools and want to deconstruct the power that academic standardized language holds in the lives of language-minoritized students.
Download or read book Enflamed by the Sacramental Word written by Vincent J. Pastro and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian proclamation, says Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is the living Christ walking among the people. Preachers know that Jesus is the living Word, and that the Spirit of Jesus animates the preaching event. Preaching is an epiclesis, an invocation of the Holy Spirit over God's holy people. As such, it must touch their imagination. Pastro proposes that preaching is the living ecclesial presence of Jesus Christ, Sacramental Word of the God of the poor. The Word speaks from the imagination of the poor-the economic poor, but also the "new poor" of the twenty-first century: entire indigenous cultures, women, those marginalized because of their sexuality, undocumented immigrants in dominant cultures, and many others. All Christian preachers in every context are called to solidarity with the poor.
Download or read book Racism and Borders written by Jeff Shantz and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite claims about globalization, we see increasing surveillance, tightened restrictions and growing punitive regimes at international borders. This critical collection examines processes of racialization in relation to border regulations and restrictions. It analyses border controls, racism, and representations of race, within multinational contexts as aspects of neo-liberal governance. It also looks at means by which people resist or challenge racialization. This collection uses the lenses of sociology, criminology, art, literary criticism and political science to critically examine varied processes of racialization, criminalization and resistance in relation to borders with reference to multi-national contexts in the current period. a. a"

Download or read book Visual Cortex written by Stephane Molotchnikoff and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The neurosciences have experienced tremendous and wonderful progress in many areas, and the spectrum encompassing the neurosciences is expansive. Suffice it to mention a few classical fields: electrophysiology, genetics, physics, computer sciences, and more recently, social and marketing neurosciences. Of course, this large growth resulted in the production of many books. Perhaps the visual system and the visual cortex were in the vanguard because most animals do not produce their own light and offer thus the invaluable advantage of allowing investigators to conduct experiments in full control of the stimulus. In addition, the fascinating evolution of scientific techniques, the immense productivity of recent research, and the ensuing literature make it virtually impossible to publish in a single volume all worthwhile work accomplished throughout the scientific world. The days when a single individual, as Diderot, could undertake the production of an encyclopedia are gone forever. Indeed most approaches to studying the nervous system are valid and neuroscientists produce an almost astronomical number of interesting data accompanied by extremely worthy hypotheses which in turn generate new ventures in search of brain functions. Yet, it is fully justified to make an encore and to publish a book dedicated to visual cortex and beyond. Many reasons validate a book assembling chapters written by active researchers. Each has the opportunity to bind together data and explore original ideas whose fate will not fall into the hands of uncompromising reviewers of traditional journals. This book focuses on the cerebral cortex with a large emphasis on vision. Yet it offers the reader diverse approaches employed to investigate the brain, for instance, computer simulation, cellular responses, or rivalry between various targets and goal directed actions. This volume thus covers a large spectrum of research even though it is impossible to include all topics in the extremely diverse field of neurosciences.

This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Juan de la Cruz es el gran desconocido del pueblo cristiano. En los últimos cuarenta años han proliferado métodos de oración y meditación trascendental. Y es precisamente en esa búsqueda por encontrar una guía firme y permanente donde muchos se han topado con san Juan de la Cruz. Al paso que canta la belleza de la creación en sus sublimes poemas, el santo nos recuerda que toda la belleza creada es nada comparada con la divina. Quien renuncie a lo pasajero, superficial e ilusorio, se encontrará con el Todo de Dios. El libro que nos ofrece Isaías A. Rodríguez no pretende sustituir a san Juan en lo que pueda decirnos, sino que nos ayuda a entender lo que san Juan nos dice, a ver los caminos que va señalando, y a seguir las pautas para nuestra peregrinación que es la vida. Saint John of the Cross is the great unknown of the Christian community. The last forty years have seen a growth in prayer methods and transcendental meditation. The search for a guide that teaches such prayer and meditation practices have led many seekers to the teachings of Saint John of the Cross. Like a song that sings the beauty of the creation in its sublime poems, the Saint teaches us that all of the beauty of creation is nothing in comparison with the beauty of the divine. In this book, Isaías A. Rodriguez does not pretend to be able to substitute Saint John in what he can teach us, but he helps us to understand what Saint John says to us, to discover the roads that he shows us, and to stay on course for our life pilgrimage.

Download or read book Shattered Pictures of Places and Cities in George Santayana s Autobiography written by Graziella Fantini and published by Universitat de València. This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shattered Pictures of Places and Cities se adentra por las páginas autobiográficas, filosóficas y narrativas más relevantes de George Santayana discurriendo por sus viajes y geografías físicas en paralelo a sus viajes y geografías morales. Es un intento de ir más allá de la reflexión entorno a los orígenes biográficos del filósofo; de ahí que se recupere una indagación sobre su habitar el lenguaje y el arte. Santayana reconsidera los fundamentos del arte de la memoria clásica en su autobiografía, para formular una nueva propuesta estética donde el arte y la vida se funden y se confunden, estimulándose recíprocamente. Hila una filosofía del viaje y del lugar, donde se privilegia una noción del habitar que ilumina nuestra condición de nómadas -en la vida y en el pensamiento-, y nuestra trágica estable inestabilidad en este mundo.
Download or read book The Poetry of Antonio Machado written by Xon de Ros and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a much needed reappraisal of a major twentieth-century Spanish poet, Antonio Machado (1875-1939), offering compelling arguments why his poetry should have a more vital profile not only within the precincts of Hispanism but also alongside the most significant twentieth-century poets of Europe and America, seeking to open up new perspectives for the interpretation of his poetry. The unifying concepts, as the title suggests, are landscape and transformation. Landscape, a topic barely broached in Spanish poetry before Machado, is a central thematic concern in his poetry.

Download or read book Text and Image written by Richard Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding upon longstanding concerns in cultural history about the relation of text and image, this book explores how ideas move across and between expressive forms. The contributions draw from art and architectural history, film, theater, performance studies, and social and cultural history to identify and dissect the role that the visual and performing arts can play in the experience and understanding of the past.The essays highlight the role of oral history in the documentation of the visual and performing arts. They share a common set of questions as they explore, firmly grounded in their distinctive disciplinary standpoints, the circuit of word, gesture, object in the formation and reproduction of knowledge, identity, and community. Blending theory and case study, they cover subjects such as the response of artists to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission; violence in Columbia and Mexico and the Balkan Wars; the circuit of sexual desire in contemporary art and photography; and sites of collective and personal memory, including the Internet, the urban landscape, family photographs, and hip hop.Stressing the relationship of media to the formation of collective memory, the volume explores how media intertextuality creates overlapping repertoires for understanding the past and the present. Scholars of art history, media and cultural studies, literature, and performance studies will all find this work a valuable resource.

Download or read book A Damaged Mirror written by Yael Shahar and published by Kasva Press. This book was released on 2014-04-27 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He sold his soul to survive Auschwitz. Now he's taking it back! An embittered holocaust survivor cannot speak of what he was forced to do to survive. A young girl in Texas is haunted by a memory of something she could not have lived. Together, they must unlock the gates of memory to find the hope that lies beyond despair. ------------------------ Alex was seventeen years old when he was deported together with his family to Birkenau. His mother and younger sister were gassed on arrival. Alex lived on past the end of his world, his memory filled with the death of a people. Unable to speak of what he had done to survive, he was locked in the silent prison of his guilt. Yael, born and raised in Texas, has no connection with Alex or with the world he has lost. And yet her seemingly idyllic life is haunted by a dark memory of something she could not have lived. Her search for the source of the memory will lead her on a quest spanning three continents, and eventually to a new life in Israel. But her true journey will lead into memory itself, as she helps Alex to keep his promises to the dead. A Damaged Mirror is an exploration of the boundaries between right and wrong, choices and choicelessness, and what happens when we cross those boundaries. It challenges notions of black and white, and calls into question the sovereignty of death itself.
