Transformative Education for an Interconnected and Equitable World
Edited by: Elena de Prada Creo Bo Zhang Alba Quintairos Soliño
Contemporary Fairy-Tale Magic
Contemporary Fairy-Tale Magic, edited by Lydia Brugué and Auba Llompart, studies the impact of fairy tales on contemporary cultures from an interdisciplinary perspective, with special emphasis on how literature and film are retelling classic fairy tales for modern audiences. We are currently witnessing a resurgence of fairy tales and fairy-tale characters and motifs in art and popular culture, as well as an increasing and renewed interest in reinventing and subverting these narratives to adapt them to the expectations and needs of the contemporary public. The collected essays also observe how the influence of academic disciplines like Gender Studies and current literary and cinematic trends play an important part in the revision of fairy-tale plots, characters and themes.
DE CUENTO EN CUENTO. MUJERES Y RELATOS DE LARGO RECORRIDO
Este undécimo volumen de la Colección de "Literatura y Mujer" explora las variantes de autoría femenina de relatos tradicionales protagonizados por mujeres que, desde hace siglos, forman parte de nuestro ideario colectivo. Estas narraciones de largo recorrido, multiplicadas en épocas y espacios distintos, nos vienen acompañando en sus diversas variantes como instrumentos poderosos de configuración de género. Situadas entre la cultura alta y la cultura popular, entre la escritura y la oralidad, muestran todo un abanico de relaciones humanas y de estrategias de pasividad o resistencia frente al mundo, que las convierten en privilegiada atalaya para leer la realidad. El interés y la diversidad de los trabajos aquí reunidos en torno a la literatura (oral y escrita), pero también al cine, series de televisión, novela gráfica, pintura o fotografía corroboran los ecos, la pervivencia y la actualidad de esta tradición.
Negotiating the Frontier
Why would a Latin Qur'an be addressed to readers who knew no Latin? What happens when translators work on paper rather than parchment? Why would a Jewish rabbi translate a bible for Christians? This book uses such questions to discuss some of the most fundamental and complex issues in contemporary Translation Studies and Cultural Studies
International Students in American Colleges and Universities
A fascinating and important history of foreign students in American higher education. The book will have appeal to specialists in student services, but also to the thousands of faculty members responsible for teaching and mentoring foreign students.
Good Work
What does it mean to carry out "good work"? What strategies allow people to maintain moral and ethical standards at a time when market forces have unprecedented power and work life is being radically altered by technological innovation? These questions lie at the heart of this eagerly awaited new book. Focusing on genetics and journalism-two fields that generate and manipulate information and thus affect our lives in myriad ways-the authors show how in their quest to build meaningful careers successful professionals exhibit "humane creativity," high-level performance coupled with social responsibility. Over the last five years the authors have interviewed over 100 people in each field who ar...
The Lost Happy Endings
On the edge of the forest, high in the old oak tree, sits Jub, shaking out the happy endings into the violet night air.
Environmental Interpretation
Environmental Interpretation is the first truly applied treatment of environmental communication written specifically for people with big ideas and small budgets. Drawing on 20 years experience and the successes of his colleagues worldwide, Sam Ham presents an unusually diverse collection of low-cost communication techniques that really work. More than 200 illustrations, photos, and technical insets provide simple instructions for designing and implementing effective education programs in forests, parks, protected areas, zoos, botanical gardens, extension and community programs, and in all kinds of agriculture and natural resource management programs. Aside from its step-by-step, "how-to" ap...
Drawing on Tradition
Manga and anime (illustrated serial novels and animated films) are highly influential Japanese entertainment media that boast tremendous domestic consumption as well as worldwide distribution and an international audience. Drawing on Tradition examines religious aspects of the culture of manga and anime production and consumption through a methodological synthesis of narrative and visual analysis, history, and ethnography. Rather than merely describing the incidence of religions such as Buddhism or Shinto in these media, Jolyon Baraka Thomas shows that authors and audiences create and re-create “religious frames of mind” through their imaginative and ritualized interactions with illustra...
