Download or read book Beyond Intimacy written by Christina Karageorgou-Bastea and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ethos of poetry and its social efficacy cannot be underestimated in the quest for a fair society. The works of three contemporary Mexican poets – Abigael Bohórquez, Myriam Moscona, and Gloria Gervitz – offer models for examining important philosophical and literary questions that explore the relationship between art and the enactment of justice. Beyond Intimacy returns lyric poetry to the centre of struggles for justice within concrete historical frameworks, highlighting gender, ethnic, and cultural tensions. Through an analysis of works by these three poets, Christina Karageorgou-Bastea reveals the far-reaching social transcendence of poetry; she shows that lyric poetry invites a public dialogue where queer pariahs model citizenship, a dying language guards and transmits tradition, and the end of motherhood is the cusp in the struggle for woman’s freedom. The radicalization of intimacy, the relationship par excellence between self and other on which poetic interaction is based, has the power to dismantle deeply rooted hierarchies within art and society. Karageorgou-Bastea explores poetry’s potential for justice through different modes of intimacy including desire, filiation, and mourning. Meeting on the grounds of their aspiration to harmony, lyricism, and justice-making lead the way to social equity and fairness in Beyond Intimacy.
Download or read book The Will to Learn written by Martin V. Covington and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the basic principles of motivation as they apply to classroom learning and management in a readable, non-technical form. Covington argues against the popular notion that the problems existing in schools today stem primarily from a lack of student motivation. Instead, he asserts that students are motivated, sometimes even overly motivated, but often for the wrong reasons. Traditional teaching methods, including conventional grading procedures and an emphasis on competition, can contribute to student demoralization, and Covington identifies the ways in which students respond to misguided incentives. For some students, motivation is directed at avoiding failure by avoiding participation. For others, demoralization leads to withdrawal from an educational system that they believe to be irrelevant to their lives. Still other students are driven to prove their worth by outperforming fellow students. The book suggests practical, concrete ways that teachers can use classroom incentives to inspire a desire to learn.
Download or read book Memory Oblivion and Jewish Culture in Latin America written by Marjorie Agosín and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-08-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America has been a refuge for Jews fleeing persecution from 1492, when Sepharad Jews were expelled from Spain, until well into the twentieth century, when European Jews sought sanctuary there from the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust. Vibrant Jewish communities have deep roots in countries such as Argentina, Mexico, Guatemala, and Chile—though members of these communities have at times experienced the pain of being "the other," ostracized by Christian society and even tortured by military governments. While commonalities of religion and culture link these communities across time and national boundaries, the Jewish experience in Latin America is irreducible to a single perspective. Only a multitude of voices can express it. This anthology gathers fifteen essays by historians, creative writers, artists, literary scholars, anthropologists, and social scientists who collectively tell the story of Jewish life in Latin America. Some of the pieces are personal tales of exile and survival; some explore Jewish humor and its role in amalgamating histories of past and present; and others look at serious episodes of political persecution and military dictatorship. As a whole, these challenging essays ask what Jewish identity is in Latin America and how it changes throughout history. They leave us to ponder the tantalizing question: Does being Jewish in the Americas speak to a transitory history or a more permanent one?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rhonda C. Grego and Nancy S. Thompson argue that because the studio is physically and institutionally "outside but alongside" both students' other coursework and the hierarchy of the institution, it represents a "thirdspace," a unique position in which to effect institutional change. Teaching/Writing in Thirdspaces provides an alternative approach to traditional basic writing courses that can be adopted in educational institutions of all types and at all levels."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Vis es written by William Blake and published by Iluminuras. This book was released on 2020-10-23 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talvez o poeta mais original da literatura inglesa, William Blake foi uma espécie de símbolo das manifestações socioculturais dos anos 1960 e 1970. Ao lado da psicologia de Carl Jung e Sigmund Freud, da filosofia e da religião orientais, das experiências da geração beat e do flower-power, via-se em sua poesia a expressão de uma nova era de Aquário, a rejeição de uma ordem mundial fundada no materialismo em detrimento da espiritualidade. Passado meio século, aquelas manifestações são história, ou adquiriram outras formas, mas a ordem mundial permanece, de ponta-cabeça, mais materialista e mais bruta. E a poesia de Blake continua instigante expressão dos valores humanos, ainda mais relevante. Visões assinala essa relevância: reúne onze livros que Blake publicou de 1789 a 1795, com os quais procura evidenciar a coerência do essencial da obra e afastar a distorcida percepção de insanidade do autor. Os poemas testemunham a formação e o amadurecimento de sua visão de mundo, num fértil período de quase sete anos, quando na casa dos trinta: aqui o leitor encontra dos poemas líricos das Canções de Inocência e Experiência até o que se convencionou chamar de "profecias menores". A partir de 1794, Blake embarcou na sequência dos poemas-profecias menores, que o prepararam para os maiores (Milton e Jerusalem, escritos e gravados quase ao mesmo tempo entre 1804 e 1820). O primeiro deles é Europa, uma Profecia, uma narrativa política, seguido de O Livro de Urizen. A Canção de Los, O Livro de Ahania e O Livro de Los, todos de 1795, compõem a "Bíblia do Inferno" prometida em O Matrimônio do Céu e do Inferno: "Possuo também A Bíblia do Inferno, que o mundo há de possuir, quer queira, quer não". O escritor Anthony Burgess disse com clareza: "A razão, na verdade, é perigosa, assim como é a ciência; se todos nós vivermos num estado de liberdade individual plena, despreocupados com as leis, confiando no poder da percepção e, num nível inferior, no instinto, alcançaremos o céu na terra, que Blake chama de Jerusalém no prefácio de Milton". Na terminologia blakeana, alcança-se a plenitude espiritual através da imaginação. "Se as portas da percepção estivessem limpas, tudo se mostraria ao homem tal como é: infinito." Pouco lido e ignorado por seus contemporâneos, Blake foi "descoberto" vinte anos após sua morte, em 1827, quando impressões tipográficas dos poemas começaram a aparecer. Mas jamais foi popular, sempre foi controverso, mesmo entre outros poetas. Thomas Stearns Eliot, por exemplo, reconheceu nele uma "honestidade contra a qual o mundo inteiro conspira, porque é desagradável. A poesia de Blake tem o desagrado da grande poesia". Quase um elogio, porque, para Eliot, essa honestidade era limitada por sua falta de educação literária, o que o tornava um "ingênuo". Blake, concluiu Eliot, tinha "uma notável e original sensibilidade para a língua e a musicalidade da língua, e o dom da visão alucinada. Se estes tivessem sido controlados por um respeito pela razão impessoal, teria sido melhor para ele". Faltava a seu gênio "uma estrutura de ideias tradicionais e reconhecidas que lhe teriam impedido de entregar-se a uma filosofia própria, e assim concentrasse a atenção nos problemas do poeta. [...] A concentração resultante dessa estrutura de mitologia, teologia e filosofia é uma das razões pelas quais Dante é um clássico, e Blake apenas um poeta de gênio". Eliot falava em defesa das tradições latinas, a seu ver fundamentais para a cultura do Ocidente, ciente de que eram exatamente o que Blake rechaçava — e no entanto, dogmático, deu o veredito. Blake decerto não lhe teria dado ouvidos. "A verdade jamais será dita de modo compreensível sem que nela se creia. Suficiente! ou Demasiado."

Book excerpt: Awakened from magical sleep, Emrillian Warhawk grew up in the modern, technological world of Moerta, 2000 years away from Quenlaque and Lygroes. There, the legends of Athrar Warhawk and Quenlaque, Braenlicach and the Zygradon were nothing but fanciful tales warped beyond all recognition. Raised by Mrillis the enchanter, she knew the truth, and sought out friends among the Archaics, who believed in the promise and prophecy of Quenlaque and the return of Athrar. Only they had access to star-metal, the Threads, and the magic of the Rey'kil.Then the authorities threatened their sanctuary to confiscate star-metal to use in weapons of war. Emrillian and Mrillis fled back to Lygroes through the tunnel under the sea, accompanied by Grego, a friend with inborn magic who had sworn loyalty to Athrar and Quenlaque. In Lygroes, where only 200 years had passed, they joined forces with Baedrix, descendant of Lycen, and prepared for the awakening of Athrar, the dismantling of the dome of Threads that kept Lygroes hidden from the modern world, and the final battle with Edrout, son of the Nameless One.With the help of Archaics who crossed to Lygroes and awakened their own inborn magic, Emrillian, Baedrix, and Grego set out to retrieve Braenlicach from hiding and find the lost Zygradon to heal and awaken Athrar. Time was their enemy as Edrout gathered his forces and armies from the modern world surrounded them -- and failure could mean the destruction of the entire world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Tradição da Liberdade - Tomo II é um contributo importante para compreender a diversidade que compõe o liberalismo, colocando o leitor em contacto com obras de referência de quatro autores europeus: os franceses Étienne de La Boétie (Discurso sobre a Servidão Voluntária) e Benjamin Constant (Da Liberdade dos Antigos Comparada à dos Modernos), o alemão Wilhelm von Humboldt (Os Limites da Acção do Estado) e o escocês Adam Smith (Riqueza das Nações). À excepção de La Boétie, que viveu no século XVI, todos viveram e escreveram em finais do século XVIII, inícios do século XIX – a fervilhante era da Declaração da Independência dos Estados Unidos da América (1776), da Revolução Francesa (1789) e do Iluminismo –, marcando de forma clara o pensamento da sua época e das seguintes. Um livro que, além de resumir quatro grandes obras do passado, mostra os muitos ensinamentos que elas têm para quem vive na Europa actual e acredita que o futuro passa por construir uma União Europeia ao serviço da liberdade, contra os retrocessos proteccionistas e as pulsões nacionalistas.
