Els marges de la moral
La moral és pública i cultural. No hi ha moral privada. Qualsevol cultura, en un moment determinat de la seva història, té uns «marcs normatius», això és, una sèrie de principis, lleis, costums, hàbits, valors. que organitzen els comportaments dels seus ciutadans en les seves vides quotidianes. L'educació, en aquest cas, té la funció de transmetre la moral a les noves generacions. Tanmateix, els autors d'aquest llibre creuen que l'ètica no és la moral. A diferència d'aquesta, l'ètica és la resposta a la demanda del rostre de l'altre, una resposta que se situa en els marges de la moral, en els límits del bé i del mal.
Los márgenes de la moral.
La moral es pública y cultural. No hay moral privada. Toda cultura, en un momento determinado de su historia, posee unos "marcos normativos", esto es, una serie de principios, leyes, costumbres, hábitos, valores... que organizan los comportamientos de sus ciudadanos en sus vidas cotidianas. La educación, en este caso, tiene la función de transmitir la moral a las nuevas generaciones. Sin embargo, los autores de este libro creen que la ética no es la moral. A diferencia de ésta, la ética es la respuesta a la demanda del rostro del otro, una respuesta que se sitúa en los márgenes de la moral, en los límites del bien y el mal.
The Developmental Psychology of Music
This book sets out the psychological basis of musical development in children and adults. The study has two major objectives: to review the research findings, theories and methodologies relevant to the developmental study of music; and to offer a framework within which these can be organised so as to pave the way for future research. It describes the relationship between thinking and music, and discusses the relationship between thinking and music in pre-schoolers and schoolchildren in areas such as singing, aesthetic appreciation, rhythmic and melodic development, and the acquisition of harmony and tonality. The book describes the development of musical taste, and discusses the questions of musical creativity, and of the social psychology of musical taste and fashion. As a comprehensive study of the links between developmental psychology and music education, Hargreaves' work demonstrates the practical and theoretical importance of psychological research on the process underlying children's musical perception, cognition and performance.
The Catalan Expedition to the East
Ramon Muntaner's account of the bloody adventures of the Almogaver army under Roger of Flor in the eastern Mediterranean in the early fourteenth century, one of the most spellbinding narratives of medieval European literature. Before its definitive fall into Turkish hands, the Byzantine Empire was the target of adventurers of many nations. Outstanding among these groups was the Almogaver army led by Roger of Flor, composed of mercenaries hardened in thewar between the Catalan and Angevin dynasties for domination of Sicily. The Catalan presence in Constantinople aroused suspicion among the Greek nobility who assassinated Roger of Flor and tried to exterminate his men. The devastating reaction...

Defining The Curriculum
This book explores some of the major processes involved in the definition of school subject knowledge. Using historical ethnographic methods, the contributors to the collection highlight and examine some of the factors involved at national, institutional and classroom levels in the making of school subjects. The first section of the book outlines the theoretical and methodological basis for the study off school subjects, and the reasons for and the possibilities of such a study are considered. In the second section some histories of school curricula are presented from a variety of settings – colonial schools in Africa, working-class schools of the nineteenth century, nursery schools – and the conflicting forces of determination and change in school subjects are identified and examined. The third section focuses on the contemporary school situation and the papers isolate and investigate some of the interest groups and social processes which enter into or affect the realization of school knowledge in the classroom.

The third part is an analysis of the author’s qualitative research, which info...
