Not Ever Absent: Storytelling in Arts, Culture and Identity Formation
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. Storytelling has always played a central role in the formation of cultures and communities. All cultures define themselves and their place in the world through their stories. Similarly, our identities are largely constructed as narratives, and it is with the aid of storytelling that we manage to conceive of ourselves – our selves – as meaningful wholes. Thus, storytelling is not ever absent: it is to be found in literature, social life, in the places we visit and the buildings we live in. This volume presents storytelling in various appearances: from ancient myths and oral history, to transmedia narratives and digital stories. Different forms of narrative are analysed, as is the use of storytelling as a method for e.g. counselling, education and research. Throughout twenty-five chapters, a compelling overview of recent research on the topic is provided, both stressing the omnipresence of storytelling and exploring what storytelling is and isn’t.
Drugs and Drug Policy
While there have always been norms and customs around the use of drugs, explicit public policies--regulations, taxes, and prohibitions--designed to control drug abuse are a more recent phenomenon. Those policies sometimes have terrible side-effects: most prominently the development of criminal enterprises dealing in forbidden (or untaxed) drugs and the use of the profits of drug-dealing to finance insurgency and terrorism. Neither a drug-free world nor a world of free drugs seems to be on offer, leaving citizens and officials to face the age-old problem: What are we going to do about drugs? In Drugs and Drug Policy, three noted authorities survey the subject with exceptional clarity, in this...

A Bibliography on Writing and Written Language
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.
Falando por escrito
A ampliação do acesso ao ensino superior tornou comum, nas universidades brasileiras, a presença de estudantes em diversos estágios de desenvolvimento da escrita. A diversidade desse novo contexto cria desafios para professores das mais diversas áreas, exigindo novos aprendizados. Por que alguns estudantes escrevem como falam? Quais as relações entre fala e escrita? A fala pode auxiliar no desenvolvimento da escrita? Devo estimular a fluência ou vigiar a gramática? Que aspectos podem facilitar ou dificultar o desenvolvimento da escrita? O livro Falando por escrito tenta responder a essas e outras questões estabelecendo uma interface entre Educação, Linguística e Jornalismo. Perc...
Letramentos, políticas linguísticas e educação linguística em contexto capixaba
Estamos vivenciando, no momento em que se publica esta obra, um ataque às áreas das humanidades, mais especificamente às formações docentes realizadas em âmbitos universitários estaduais e federais em nosso país. Os letramentos, bem como as políticas linguísticas e educacionais, que têm como princípio uma educação com vistas à emancipação crítica e cidadã por parte dos educandos. Assim, o livro está dividido em três partes: a primeira discorre sobre os letramentos, sob vieses teóricos e práticos; a segunda explora as interfaces entre os letramentos e os estudos linguísticos; já a terceira focaliza as políticas linguísticas.
