Moving Critical Literacies Forward A New Look at Praxis Across Contexts

Moving Critical Literacies Forward A New Look at Praxis Across Contexts
Moving Critical Literacies Forward: A New Look at Praxis Across Contexts By Jessica Pandya (editor), JuliAnna Ávila (editor)
2013 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0415818133 | PDF | 3 MB
Taking the pulse of current efforts to do―and, in some cases, undo―critical literacy, this volume explores and critiques its implementation in learning contexts around the globe. An impressive set of international authors offer examples of productive critical literacy practices in and out of schools, address the tensions and gaps between these practices and educational policies, and attempt to forecast the future for critical literacy as a movement in the changing global educational policy landscape. This collection is unique in presenting the recent work of luminaries such as Allan Luke and Hilary Janks alongside relative newcomers who use innovative approaches and arguments to reinvigorate and redefine critical practice. It is time for this cutting-edge inquiry into the state of critical literacy―not only because is it a complex and ever-evolving field, but perhaps more important, because it offers a reaction to, and powerful reworking of, standardization and high-stakes accountability measures in educational contexts around the globe.

English | ISBN: 0674247728 | 2022 | 336 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
A neurosurgeon explores how our tendency to prioritize short-term consumer pleasures spurs climate change, but also how the brain's amazing capacity for flexibility can―and likely will―enable us to prioritize the long-term survival of humanity.

Mindbrain, Psychoanalytic Institutions, and Psychoanalysts A New Metapsychology Consistent with Neuroscience

Mindbrain, Psychoanalytic Institutions, and Psychoanalysts A New Metapsychology Consistent with Neuroscience
Mindbrain, Psychoanalytic Institutions, and Psychoanalysts: A New Metapsychology Consistent with Neuroscience By Antonio Imbasciati; Joan Rundo (transl.)
2017 | 254 Pages | ISBN: 1782205152 | PDF | 2 MB
In this book, the author criticises the isolationism of traditional psychoanalytic associations, compared to those of other branches of psychology, and their suspicion of neuroscience. Today, affective neuroscience is investigating the unconscious affects, which psychoanalysis has always done with different methods and a different language. The author points out how Freud's energy-drive theory, although contradicted by scientific progress, has continued to characterise, a religiousness underpinning the spirit of psychoanalytic institutions: the icon of Freud. This spirit is accompanied by confusion between different psychoanalytic theories which are often incompatible with one another. The author blames the poor social image that psychoanalysis has earned in the past few years on this confusion of theories and haughty withdrawal into a single presumed orthodoxy. A former President of the IPA, Otto Kernberg, has even predicted the suicide of psychoanalytic institutions. The author has addressed this chaos of theories throughout his life, integrating work on psychoanalysis, experimental psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive science, attachment theory and now neuroscience.

Media and Class TV, Film, and Digital Culture

Media and Class TV, Film, and Digital Culture
Media and Class: TV, Film, and Digital Culture By June Deery (editor), Andrea Press (editor)
2017 | 236 Pages | ISBN: 1138229784 | PDF | 2 MB
Although the idea of class is again becoming politically and culturally charged, the relationship between media and class remains understudied. This diverse collection draws together prominent and emerging media scholars to offer readers a much-needed orientation within the wider categories of media, class, and politics in Britain, America, and beyond. Case studies address media representations and media participation in a variety of platforms, with attention to contemporary culture: from celetoids to selfies, Downton Abbey to Duck Dynasty, and royals to reality TV. These scholarly but accessible accounts draw on both theory and empirical research to demonstrate how different media navigate and negotiate, caricature and essentialize, or contain and regulate class.
