Being Disabled, Becoming a Champion
Being Disabled, Becoming a Champion is an accessible presentation of current European research on the most recent evolutions in sports for people with disabilities, demonstrating knowledge developed from the field of sports practices of people with disabilities. It covers three interrelated themes. First, it covers the different facets of the history of sports organizations set up during the 1950s for athletes with motor or intellectual impairments. The second part focuses on the athletes themselves. Voices are given to the top-level athletes in adapted sports: people with intellectual impairment; the pioneers of wheelchair racing who invented a new discipline, off-road wheelchair racing; an...
Sport et controverses
L’ouvrage se propose d’explorer la notion de controverses largement débattue dans le domaine des sciences sociales et structurant même de véritables courants de pensée. Alliant analyses théoriques et études de cas concrets empruntés au monde sportif pris dans un sens étendu, il balaie un vaste panorama tant théorique qu’empirique. Sont ainsi analysées différentes dimensions du phénomène sportif chères à la sociologie du sport : le rôle des institutions et des organisations sportives, le poids de l’histoire sociale et politique, l’impact des trajectoires des acteurs sportifs, le rôle des médias..., tout en proposant une entrée originale donnant à voir des process...
Medial Bodies between Fiction and Faction
In the past decades, developments in the fields of medicine, new media, and biotechnologies challenged many representations and practices, questioning the understanding of our corporeal limits. Using concrete examples from literary fiction, media studies, philosophy, performance arts, and social sciences, this collection underlines how bodily models and transformations, thought until recently to be only fictional products, have become a part of our reality. The essays provide a spectrum of perspectives on how the body emerges as a transitional environment between fictional and factual elements, a process understood as faction.
Regards croisés sur la communication et la trace numériques
Ce volume est le premier d’une collection consacrée à la trace numérique, notion sur laquelle travaillent les chercheur·se·s en sciences de l’information et de la communication de l’université Le Havre Normandie, regroupé·e·s au sein de l’unité mixte de recherches 6266 (CNRS), à partir du paradigme de l’homme-trace, proposition anthropologique de Béatrice Galinon-Mélénec, qui consi-dère que l’homme est à la fois un producteur de traces et le produit de traces ou, plus précisément, de signes-traces. Les auteur·e·s sollicité·e·s ont eu carte blanche pour traiter du sujet à partir de leurs propres travaux et perspectives. Les huit chapitres constituant ce premier volume sont donc particulièrement riches : chacun apporte son éclairage épistémologique et théorique sur la thématique.
Teacher Evaluation
Teacher Evaluation: Guide to Professional Practice is organized around four dominant, interrelated core issues: professional standards, a guide to applying the Joint Committee's Standards, ten alternative models for the evaluation of teacher performance, and an analysis of these selected models. The book draws heavily on research and development conducted by the Federally funded national Center for Research on Educational Accountability and Teacher Evaluation (CREATE). The reader will come to grasp the essence of sound teacher evaluation and will be able to apply its principles, facts, ideas, processes, and procedures. Finally, the book invites and assists school professionals and other readers to examine the latest developments in teacher evaluation.
Scientific Growth
"Here, for the first time, we have the work of a key pioneer presented in all its depth and range. The pragmatic and prophetic voice of Joseph Ben-David speaks with a power and a clarity that will win the attention of a new generation of scholars."--Arnold Thackray, University of Pennsylvania "A superb collection of brilliant papers by a pioneering mind of international fame, who did much to shape the sociology of science. In organizing this major work, its knowing editor, Gad Freudenthal, has identified a remarkable sociological edifice that exhibits the theoretical coherence of Joseph Ben-David's many-sided and evolving contributions to the field."--Robert K. Merton, Columbia University
