Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poised between the Mediterranean and the Mitteleuropa, crossroads of civilizations and seat of vibrant cultural and literary life, Trieste is now acknowledged as enjoying unrivalled cultural status amongst Italian cities. This volume, the first comprehensive study of Triestine literature in English, originally reassesses TriesteÆs literary identity, paying particular attention to the period between 1918 and 1954 when local writing became intensely aware of its local specificity and some of its central motifs came prominently to the fore. TriesteÆs singular border identity, mirrored in a variegated literary output, emerges here as laden with complexities and ambiguities, such as the controversial notion of triestinita, the ambiguous relation with nationalism, specifically in its Fascist inflection, and the anxieties generated by repeated re-definitions of the areaÆs historical borders.

Download or read book Novella of Giulia Camposanpiero and Tesibaldo Vitaliani written by Giulia Bigolina and published by Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS). This book was released on 2004 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Giulia Bigolina has been nearly forgotten by modern literary scholars. She was a married woman of the minor nobility who lived in Padua, in Venetian territory, ca. 1516-1569. Although none of her works were published during her lifetime, she did gain considerable local renown as a writer of novellas and other works of prose fiction dealing with love, a literary field to which Italian women of the early modern period almost never contributed because of the risk of public scandal. This critical edition brings together the Italian texts of both of Bigolina's known surviving works, 'Urania: the story of a young woman's love' and her 'Novella of Giulia Camposanpiero and Thesibaldo Vitaliani,' providing as well English translations in facing-page format. The notes and extensive introduction contain the fruits of Christopher Nissen's many years of original research on this author in the libraries of Italy and France. The notes to this edition include descriptions of all of Bigolina's surviving manuscripts, along with details of their textual characteristics and problems of interpretation. All of Bigolina's historical and mythological references are also explained in the notes. This edition aims to make the complete surviving works of this little known but highly significant author available to a wide audience of scholars for the first time, both in English and the original Italian." --

Download or read book Art and Creativity in Reggio Emilia written by Vea Vecchi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-04-05 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the contribution of and art and creativity to early education, and examines the role of the atelier (an arts workshop in a school) and atelierista (an educator with an arts background) in the pioneering pre-schools of Reggio Emilia. It does so through the unique experience of Vea Vecchi, one of the first atelieristas to be appointed in Reggio Emilia in 1970. Part memoir, part conversation and part reflection, the book provides a unique insider perspective on the pedagogical work of this extraordinary local project, which continues to be a source of inspiration to early childhood practitioners and policy makers worldwide. Vea’s writing, full of beautiful examples, draws the reader in as she explains the history of the atelier and the evolving role of the atelierista. Key themes of the book include: • processes of learning and knowledge construction • the theory of the hundred languages of childhood and the role of poetic languages • the importance of organisation, ways of working and tools, in particular pedagogical documentation • the vital contribution of the physical environment • the relationship between the atelier, the atelierista, the school and its teachers This enlightening book is essential reading for students, practitioners, policy makers and researchers in early childhood education, and also for all those in other fields of education interested in the relationship between the arts and learning.

Download or read book Opera in Seventeenth Century Venice written by Ellen Rosand and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2007-10-09 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this elegantly constructed study of the early decades of public opera, the conflicts and cooperation of poets, composers, managers, designers, and singers—producing the art form that was soon to sweep the world and that has been dominant ever since—are revealed in their first freshness."—Andrew Porter "This will be a standard work on the subject of the rise of Venetian opera for decades. Rosand has provided a decisive contribution to the reshaping of the entire subject. . . . She offers a profoundly new view of baroque opera based on a solid documentary and historical-critical foundation. The treatment of the artistic self-consciousness and professional activities of the librettists, impresarios, singers, and composers is exemplary, as is the examination of their reciprocal relations. This work will have a positive effect not only on studies of 17th-century, but on the history of opera in general."—Lorenzo Bianconi

Download or read book Giving Kids a Fair Chance written by James Joseph Heckman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current social and education policies directed toward children focus on improving cognition, yet success in life requires more than smarts. Heckman calls for a refocus of social policy toward early childhood interventions designed to enhance both cognitive abilities and such non-cognitive skills as confidence and perseverance. This new focus on preschool intervention would emphasize improving the early environments of disadvantaged children and increasing the quality of parenting while respecting the primacy of the family and America's cultural diversity. Heckman shows that acting early has much greater positive economic and social impact than later interventions -- which range from reduced pupil-teacher ratios to adult literacy programs to expenditures on police -- that draw the most attention in the public policy debate. At a time when state and local budgets for early interventions are being cut, Heckman issues an urgent call for action and offers some practical steps for how to design and pay for new programs.
