This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro presenta en la primera parte la historia de la teoría crítica desde sus inicios en Alemania. Se analiza el trabajo de sus más destacados representantes, con un énfasis especial en Theodor W. Adorno y Max Horkheimer, en el exilio en los EE.UU. y después de su retorno a la República Federal de Alemania. La historia de la teoría crítica termina con el resumen de las obras del representante más importante de esta tendencia filosófica en la actualidad, Jürgen Habermas. En la segunda parte se investiga la influencia de la teoría crítica en las obras de tres destacados pedagogos alemanes: Wilhelm Flitner, el representante de la pedagogía entendida como ciencia del espíritu, Wolfgang Klafki, el defensor de la ciencia crítico-constructiva de la educación, y Wolfgang Brezinka, el adversario de la teoría crítica desde una posición neopositivista. En la última parte se analiza la recepción de la teoría crítica en el discurso pedagógico español, utilizando metodologías cuantitativas (la investigación bibliométrica de dos revistas) y cualitativas (la interpretación de artículos seleccionados), así como la revisión crítica de dos monografías.

Download or read book Los Invisibles written by Richard Cleminson and published by University of Wales. This book was released on 2007 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the social, medical and cultural history of male homosexuality in Spain, this book looks at it from the time homosexuality came to be an issue of medical, legal and cultural concern. Research into homosexuality in Spain is in its infancy. The last ten or fifteen years have seen a proliferation of studies on gender in Spain but much of this work has concentrated on women's history, literature and femininity. In contrast to existing research which concentrates on literature and literary figures, "Los Invisibles" focuses on the change in cultural representation of same-sex activity of through medicalisation, social and political anxieties about race and the late emergence of homosexual sub-cultures in the last quarter of the twentieth century. As such, this book constitutes an analysis of discourses and ideas from a social history and medical history position. Much of the research for the book was supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust to research the medicalisation of homosexuality in Spain.

Download or read book Mediating Languages and Cultures written by Dieter Buttjes and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 1991 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of "language teaching" is shot through with methods and approaches to language learning - most recently with "communicative language teaching" - but this book demonstrates that a more differentiated and richer understanding of learning a foreign language is both necessary and desirable. Languages and cultures are interlinked and interdependent and their teaching and learning should be too. Learning another language is part of a complex process of learning and understanding other people's ways of life, ways of thinking and socio-economic experience
Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Download or read book Culture Language Text written by Fredrik Christian Brøgger and published by Berg Publishers. This book was released on 1992 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a pioneering attempt within the university study of English as a foreign language to provide the discipline of culture studies (particularly the study of American/British civilization) with a theory and methodology of its own. Focusing on the anthropological concept of culture as belief systems, the author suggests that culture studies should be primarily concerned with the analysis of the interplay between language and ideology. Essentially interdisciplinary, the field is conceived as a philological, text-oriented study of culture.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to present a historical account of instructional approaches to the teaching of comprehension as well as insights into effective approaches for the present and the future, this collection of papers is divided into three parts, concerned respectively with: (1) instructional research in reading comprehension, (2) the reader and the text, and (3) the reader and the teacher. Each paper discusses critical issues in comprehension instruction and recommends strategies for effective teaching. The four papers in part one discuss what research reveals about teaching practices, propose a framework for conducting research, suggest the impact of the social context on instruction, and trace the history of teaching and testing reading comprehension. The six papers in part two discuss text-related issues in reading comprehension instruction, including the ways teachers intervene to improve student comprehension, the use of text organization to enhance students' understanding, and text structures found in popular television shows. The seven articles in part three examine interactions between teachers and their students and make recommendations for teaching reading comprehension and vocabulary skills. (MM)
