"Głowa mówi..."
Oddajemy do rąk Czytelnika książkę poświęconą niezwykłemu zjawisku w polskiej kulturze – rodzimemu rockowi lat 80., okresu wspominanemu dziś z nostalgią jako dekadę pełną sprzeczności, nacechowaną dialektyczną różnorodnością, a jednocześnie nie do końca dobrze opisaną. Choć dużo powiedziano już na temat politycznych aspektów tego okresu, to jego popkulturowe wątki wciąż czekają na swoją szansę zaistnienia. Tom, który czytacie, ma ową lukę – po części przynajmniej – wypełnić. W książce spojrzymy na polski rock lat 80. XX wieku z kulturoznawczego, literaturoznawczego, muzykologicznego, medioznawczego, socjologicznego i antropologicznego punktu widzenia. (Marek Jeziński, Wstęp [fragment])
Kultura rocka 1. Twórcy, tematy, motywy
Stan badań na temat kultury rocka w polskim obszarze nauki jest jeszcze mało zaznaczony, jednak w ciągu kilkunastu ubiegłych lat można zauważyć wyraźną tendencję zwyżkową w tej dziedzinie. Na świecie, szczególnie w krajach anglosaskich, badania nad rockiem od wielu lat cieszą się niesłabnącą popularnością.

Reconstructing Democracy and Citizenship Education
This book compares the current status of democracy in selected Eastern European countries. The focus is on young people’s attitudes towards and experiences of democracy, including active political engagement. In many of these countries, democracy has been hard-won and may well need to be defended again in the future. The contributors collectively reflect on young adults exercising their civic rights and how they can influence the political system at both formal and informal levels. The chapters present different issues that arise in unique contexts but overall reflect the changing status of democracy and its effects on young people’s citizenship activity and education. The volume compare...
What’s Fair? Young Europeans’ Constructions of Equity, Altruism and Self-interest
This book reports on part of the research project Citizens of the future: the concerns and actions of young people around current European and global issues, which was undertaken under the aegis of the European Science Foundation as a collaborative project within the EUROCORES framework (06_ECRP_FP007). The project investigated the concerns of young Europeans for the future, focussing on issues such as democratic processes, poverty, unemployment, human rights, the environment and conflict. In particular, this book looks at how young people understand the concepts of fairness, equity and altruism, and how they reconcile this with their own self-interests. These concepts were studied through the lenses of a role-play known as the Ultimatum Game. While the book is based in part on a detailed study of young people in four European countries, it is also located in a much wider literature of social justice, cooperation, competition, civic (or pro-social) behaviour and the development of identity.
The Handbook of International Psychology
This second edition of The Handbook of International Psychology chronicles the discipline of psychology as it evolves in different regions, from the perspective of those living and working in the countries they write about. This volume surveys the history, methodology, education, training, and future of psychology in more than 100 countries/territories, organized by region and continent. In this thoroughly updated and expanded edition, chapters highlight the important ways in which psychological knowledge and services are contextualized through culture, history, geography, social, and political forces. This comprehensive handbook is essential for students and teachers of psychology, as well as professionals wanting to develop their understanding of psychology around the world.
Understanding the Constructions of Identities by Young New Europeans
How do young people construct their identities in the complexity of their own country, belonging to the European Union, and being part of global society? This book is based on a unique empirical study of a thousand young people, aged between eleven and nineteen, from fifteen European countries. Covering East European states that joined the EU be
Their Hopes, Fears and Reality
Based on a research project supported by the European Foundation, this book explores how primary and secondary students in four different European countries view theirs and the world's future. The results indicate that there is a gap between students' perspectives about the future and a clear pedagogical base for helping students confront many issues that are significant to them. The importance of ensuring students become critically aware citizens and helping them develop the ability and skills necessary for facing the challenges of the future are patent. This book spells out specific ways in which the issues which emerged from the study can be approached from diverse fields (geography, language learning and arts and crafts). It also discusses some cross-disciplinary educational issues relevant to all teachers - general education and cross-disciplinary, as well as offering two proposals on how teachers can count on sufficient psychological support to face the challenges of teaching in an increasingly complex environment and promote cooperative behaviour in the classroom.
Managing School Intellectual Capital for Strategic Development
Cheng articulates the extent to which knowledge management approaches can create Intellectual Capital (IC) and contribute to improvements in education quality. He argues that public schools have long contended with the requirements of quality assurance in a competitive environment of decreasing student numbers, increasing parental choice and rising standards of accountability. As public organisations, schools have to demonstrate appropriate resource management and show evidence that they are meeting defined development plans and goals. Cheng proposes a strategic approach, IC management, to help schools respond to and cope with the increasingly competitive environment while enhancing school c...
Educational Inequalities
While there is considerable literature on social inequality and education, there is little recent work which explores notions of difference and diversity in relation to "race," class and gender. This edited text aims to bring together researchers in the field of education located across many international contexts such as the UK, Australia, USA, New Zealand and Europe. Contributors investigate the ways in which dominant perspectives on "difference," intersectionality and institutional structures underpin and reinforce educational inequality in schools and higher education. They emphasize the importance of international perspectives and innovative methodological approaches to examining these areas, and seek to locate the dimensions of difference within recent theoretical discourses, with an emphasis on "race," class and gender as key categories of analysis.
