Politics in the Playground: The world of early childhood education in Aotearoa New Zealand By Helen May
2020 | 414 Pages | ISBN: 1988531810 | PDF | 3 MB
This third edition is a lively history of early childhood education and care in Aotearoa New Zealand in the postwar era. The book follows on from Discovery of Early Childhood (1997, 2013), which traced the origins of institutional care and education for young children in Europe, US, and New Zealand prior to state interest and serious investment. This latest edition brings the story right up to date with developments under the Labour coalition government of Jacinda Ardern. The postwar search for security, the radicalism of the 1960s and 1970s, the rise of feminism, the role of the state in social issues, increasing employment of women-all have had an impact on early childhood education. This is an account of critical issues for young children that will interest parents, policy- makers, teachers, and students.

Policing and Human Rights: The Meaning of Violence and Justice in the Everyday Policing of Johannesburg By Julia Hornberger
2011 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 0415610680 | PDF | 2 MB
Policing and Human Rights analyses the implementation of human rights standards, tracing them from the nodal points of their production in Geneva, throughthe board rooms of national police management and training facilities, to the streets of downtown Johannesburg. This book deals with how the unprecedented influence of human rights, combined with the inability by police officers to 'live up' to international standards, has created a range of policing and human rights vernaculars - hybrid discourses that have appropriated, transmogrified and undercut human rights. Understood as an attempt by police officers, as much as by the police as a whole, to recover a position from which to act and to judge, these vernaculars reveal the compromised ways in which human rights are- and are not-implemented. Tracing how, in South Africa, human rights have given rise to new forms of popular justice, informal 'private' policing and provisional security arrangements, Policing and Human Rights delivers an importantanalysisof how the dissemination and implementation of human rights intersects with the post-colonial and post-transformation circumstances that characterise many countries in the South.

Pinocchio, Puppets, and Modernity: The Mechanical Body (Children's Literature and Culture) edited by Katia Pizzi
English | October 25, 2011 | ISBN: 0415890969 | True PDF | 246 pages | 2.9 MB
This study assesses the significance of Pinocchio in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in addition to his status as the creature of a nineteenth century traversed by a cultural enthusiasm for dummies, puppets, and marionettes. This collection identifies him as a figure characterized by a 'fluid identity,' informed with transition, difference, joie de vivre, otherness, displacement, and metamorphosis, making Pinocchio a truly modern, indeed postmodern and posthuman, cultural icon. Pinocchio, Puppets and Modernity explores this crucial and as yet little visited field, reassessing Pinocchio's genealogy and progeny, as well as illuminating both the wider context and more specific cultural manifestations of the mechanical-human interface in the domains of theatre, the fine arts, literature, radio, and even virtual reality coherently with the digital metamorphosis of our times.
