Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rara vez nos detenemos a pensar en las implicaciones que ofrece el hecho de desarrollar nuestra vida en un mundo letrado. Nuestra relación fácil y cotidiana con lo escrito nos parece natural. Sin embargo, leer y escribir son construcciones sociales, culturales y, por tanto, históricas, resultado de un largo proceso que se ha desarrollado a partir de unas necesidades comunicativas específicas. Este trabajo indaga en el conocimiento de las prácticas populares de la cultura escrita en el siglo XIX, momento en el que el uso de la escritura se configuró como una necesidad social, para de esta forma profundizar en la comprensión de las condiciones sociales en las que se leyó y se escribió en el pasado. A pesar de haber existido en mayor número de lo que pueda creerse, los testimonios escritos de los grupos populares han atravesado continuos procesos destructivos y están todavía hoy en día sometidos a prácticas de eliminación y de adaptación. La relegación, la no conservación o la destrucción de la documentación producida por las clases populares no es un hecho casual, sino que nos habla de una determinada configuración de nuestra historia, de nuestra memoria y, por tanto, de nuestra identidad presente. No en vano apoderarse de la memoria y del olvido es, en palabras del historiador Jacques Le Goff, una de las máximas preocupaciones de las clases, de los grupos, de los individuos que han dominado y dominan las sociedades históricas.
Download or read book Adult Education in Communities written by Emilio Lucio-Villegas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participation can be a double-edged sword in that it can be used to bind people into agendas and policies they have little control over or it can help enable them to give voice to real and significant issues. Drawing on the work of Raymond Williams, genuine participation has to be an open and democratic process which enables all to contribute to the creation of meanings. Adult education in communities can then be involved in the process of creating ‘really useful knowledge’, that is, knowledge which enables people – individuals and collectivities who experience systematic forms of oppression, domination and exploitation – to think about, analyse and act on their situation individually and severally. By drawing on contemporary accounts of emancipatory action and participatory research the author elaborates on the role of adult educators in this context. (From the Preface) This book tries to reflect on adult education and its close relationships with communities. It is a modest attempt to maintain adult education in the scope of the community life against the growing schooling, the focus on employability, and on the labour market. In the last years it seems that adult education has become a kind of provider of diplomas, skills and competences and has forgotten its role to enlighten individuals and help them to share their community life with an abundance of richness, diversity, sadness and happiness. Adult Education is intrinsically connected to daily life, and the life that individuals constantly edify in their interactions. If adult education is connected to daily life, one of the major tasks is to recover this feeling and to link daily life and education. I think that at present time, in a moment of intense reductionism, reality is usually presented as very plain, losing its complexity and diversity that are related to the fact that life is being lived everyday by men and women as creators and relational beings.
Download or read book A Bibliography on Writing and Written Language written by Konrad Ehlich and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 2896 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bibliography offers information on research about writing and written language over the past 50 years. No comprehensive bibliography on this subject has been published since Sattler's (1935) handbook. With a selection of some 27,500 titles it covers the most important literature in all scientific fields relating to writing. Emphasis has been placed on the interdisciplinary organization of the bibliography, creating many points of common interest for literacy experts, educationalists, psychologists, sociologists, linguists, cultural anthropologists, and historians. The bibliography is organized in such a way as to provide the specialist as well as the researcher in neighboring disciplines with access to the relevant literature on writing in a given field. While necessarily selective, it also offers information on more specialized bibliographies. In addition, an overview of norms and standards concerning 'script and writing' will prove very useful for non-professional readers. It is, therefore, also of interest to the generally interested public as a reference work for the humanities.
Download or read book Indigenous Graphic Communication Systems written by Katarzyna Mikulksa and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2020-01-17 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Graphic Communication Systems challenges the adequacy of Western academic views on what writing is and explores how they can be expanded by analyzing the sophisticated graphic communication systems found in Central Mesoamerica and Andean South America. By examining case studies from across the Americas, the authors pursue an enhanced understanding of Native American graphic communication systems and how the study of graphic expression can provide insight into ancient cultures and societies, expressed in indigenous words. Focusing on examples from Central Mexico and the Andes, the authors explore the overlap among writing, graphic expression, and orality in indigenous societies, inviting reevaluation of the Western notion that writing exists only to record language (the spoken chain of speech) as well as accepted beliefs of Western alphabetized societies about the accuracy, durability, and unambiguous nature of their own alphabetized texts. The volume also addresses the rapidly growing field of semasiography and relocates it more productively as one of several underlying operating principles in graphic communication systems. Indigenous Graphic Communication Systems reports new results and insights into the meaning of the rich and varied content of indigenous American graphic expression and culture as well as into the societies and cultures that produce them. It will be of great interest to Mesoamericanists, students, and scholars of anthropology, archaeology, art history, ancient writing systems, and comparative world history. The research for and publication of this book have been supported in part by the National Science Centre of Poland (decision no. NCN-KR-0011/122/13) and the Houston Museum of Natural Science.

Download or read book Or Words to That Effect written by Daniel F. Chamberlain and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-01-27 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume raises questions about why oral celebrations of language receive so little attention in published literary histories when they are simultaneously recognized as fundamental to our understanding of literature. It aims to prompt debate regarding the transformations needed for literary historians to provide a more balanced and fuller appreciation of what we call literature, one that acknowledges the interdependence of oral storytelling and written expression, whether in print, pictorial, or digital form. Rather than offering a summary of current theories or prescribing solutions, this volume brings together distinguished scholars, conventional literary historians, and oral performer-practitioners from regions as diverse as South Africa, the Canadian Arctic, the Roma communities of Eastern Europe and the music industry of the American West in a conversation that engages the reader directly with the problems that they have encountered and the questions that they have explored in their work with orality and with literary history.
Download or read book Historia de la cultura escrita written by Antonio Castillo Gómez and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Qué funciones han desempeñado la escritura y la lectura a lo largo del tiempo?, ¿en qué soportes se ha transmitido la producción escrita de las distintas sociedades?, ¿qué y cómo se ha leído desde la Antigüedad hasta nuestros días?, ¿qué cambios han experimentado las prácticas de la cultura escrita? Preguntas de este calado son las que se plantean y se tratan de responder en este volumen, cuyo contenido aborda el devenir histórico de la escritura y de la lectura desde su invención en el Próximo Oriente antiguo hasta la época actual, desde la tablillas cuneiformes o los jeroglíficos egipcios hasta la escritura inmaterial de la sociedad informatizada. Las inquietudes despertadas por la creciente implantación de las redes digitales y sus inevitables efectos sobre las técnicas de la escritura, los soportes de su transmisión y las modalidades de su apropiación, justifican y dan validez a esta mirada retrospectiva. También en lo que toca al ancho mundo de la escritura y de la lectura, la historia nos enseña a entender el momento presente y a pensar en el futuro.
Download or read book Trojan Horse Aid written by Susan Walsh and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a compelling first-hand account of development assistance gone awry, Susan Walsh recounts how national, international, and multilateral organizations failed the Jalq'a people in the Bolivian Andes during the early millennium. Intent on assisting potato farmers, development organizations pushed for changes that ultimately served their own interests, paradoxically undermining local resilience and pushing farmers off their lands. Trojan-Horse Aid challenges the idea of Western capacity-building, particularly the notion that introduced technologies related to food production are essential ingredients for sustainable livelihoods among farmers. Walsh argues that the well-intentioned organizations working in Jalq'a communities paid insufficient attention to longstanding knowledge that has supported human survival in regions where the natural world has the upper hand. Walsh goes beyond a critical review of misguided aid to offer reflections on the relationship between indigenous knowledge and resilience theory, the hopeful future of development assistance, and the contradictions in her own hybrid role as researcher and development-practitioner. In light of growing global concern over the worsening food crisis and interconnected climate extremes, Trojan-Horse Aid offers an important critique of development practices that undermine peasant strategies as well as suggestions for more effective approaches for the future.
Download or read book Lectura y cultura escrita written by María Clemente Linuesa and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El dominio de la escritura y la lectura ha sido un rasgo fundamental para comprender el desarrollo de las civilizaciones, y ha determinado en buena medida la posición de los individuos en el entramado de las relaciones sociales. Al difundirse la capacidad de leer y escribir entre la población, se democratizó un instrumento que es determinante en la educación. Los usos y tipos de lectura se han diferenciado y, paralelamente, se han multiplicado las situaciones en que leemos. Las escuelas son ámbitos especializados de lectura, pero deben lograr que ésta tenga cabida en otros espacios, tiempos y funciones, convirtiéndose en herramienta para aprender de forma continua, para disfrutar y crecer como personas. La evolución de la cultura escrita ha participado activamente en la creación de los lectores actuales, y la escolarización ha sido esencial en ello. La continuidad de esta tarea implica asegurar que las instituciones educativas cumplen su papel en este proceso, dado que la cultura escrita es uno de los recursos indispensables de los que se valen las políticas culturales. Asimismo, es preciso considerar el importante lugar que juega aquí la familia. Este libro versa sobre la lectura como una práctica social y cultural. Nos explica por qué se ha leído y por qué merece la pena seguir haciéndolo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la segunda mitad del siglo XV se abrió un ciclo particularmente brillante para la cultura escrita cuyas consecuencias pueden rastrearse durante toda la Edad Moderna y, aún más, en los siglos contemporáneos. A fin de analizar algunas de sus manifestaciones, este libro se interesa especialmente por las formas gráficas y significados de las escrituras expuestas, desde la inscripción renacentista a la pintada política en la dictadura chilena; las prácticas epistolares en cuanto que testimonio de la importancia social de la comunicación escrita; los libros de memorias, considerados como objetos donde se configura la memoria personal y familiar, susceptibles incluso de ser interpretados en clave autobiográfica; y por último, distintos acercamientos a la apropiación de los textos con la mirada puesta en los consumidores e intermediarios, desde la nobleza culta hasta los lectores más «débiles», prestando atención tanto a la cultura manuscrita como a la impresa entre los siglos XVI y XIX. Frente al fetichismo libresco que caracteriza no pocas aproximaciones a la Historia de la Cultura Escrita, esta obra se interesa por esta en la diversidad de sus formas textuales —epigráficas, murales, manuscritas o impresas, permanentes y efímeras—, pues solo así se puede captar la riqueza de cuanto una determinada sociedad, integrada por gentes de letras pero también por semialfabetizados y analfabetos, escribe y lee. Culturas del escrito, en suma, que certifican la vitalidad de esta corriente de investigación y tratan de contribuir a la Historia que escribimos en estos tiempos de incertidumbre.
