La presente obra presenta una serie de recursos, ejercicios y proyectos de enseñanza de FLE (por sus siglas en en francés Français Langue Étrangère) y EFL (por sus siglas en inglés, English as a Foreign Language) que integran el aprendizaje por contenidos con la metodología del pensamiento por sistemas. Los contenidos acá desarrollados se inscriben en el marco de las prácticas interdisciplinares en la enseñanza de las lenguas extranjeras (PIELE) y proponen robustecer dicho acercamiento mediante la propuesta sistémica. Los cuatro capítulos que componen esta obra se centran en las posibilidades que ofrecen las artes visuales, el pensamiento económico, las humanidades digitales y la meditación como ejes sobre los que se despliegan los contenidos lingüísticos en lenguas extranjeras, inglés y francés.
La aproximacion del presente libro apunta a entablar una conversacion con, y posteriormente, responder a, un movimiento hecho desde la "absoluta modernidad" hasta una absoluta futuridad de los proyectos textuales del poeta chileno Vicente Huidobro (1893-1948). Los escritos huidobrianos son continuamente contemporaneos en un sentido extremo y urgente, e invitan a constantes reinterpretaciones y recontextualizaciones, tal como es el caso de los trece ensayos incluidos en este estudio.
Written by the two most recognized Appreciative Inquiry thought leaders A quick, accessible introduction to one of the most popular change methods today--proven effective in organizations ranging from Roadway Express and British Airways to the United Nations and the United States Navy Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a model of change management uniquely suited to the values, beliefs, and challenges of organizations today. AI is a process that emphasizes identifying and building on strengths, rather than focusing exclusively on fixing weaknesses as most other change processes do. As the stories in this book illustrate, it results in dramatic improvements in the triple bottom line: people, profit...
Did Spanish explorers really discover the sunken city of Atlantis or one of the lost tribes of Israel in Aztec México? Did classical writers foretell the discovery of America? Were faeries and Amazons hiding in Guiana, and where was the fabled golden city, El Dorado? Who was more powerful, Apollo or Diana, and which claimant nation, Spain or England, would win the game of empire? These were some of the questions English writers, historians, and polemicists asked through their engagement with Spanish romance. By exploring England’s fanatical consumption of these tales of love and arms as reflected in the works of Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, John Dryden, Ben Jonson, and Peter Heylyn, this book shows how the idea of English empire took root in and through literature, and how these circumstances primed the success of Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote of la Mancha in England.
"These critical studies propose innovative readings and overall reformulations of the texts and authors that stand as representative of the period for the contemporary reader. The first group of articles refers to reports, chronicles, and Renaissance epics, a vast block of texts that fall in most cases halfway between history and narrative fiction, and examine the experiences of the discovery, the conquest, and the colonization of the new territories. The second group concentrates on regionally marked texts from the Baroque period, especially those of the central figure of the Mexican nun poet and intellectual, Sor Juana In s de la Cruz. Finally, there are some essays on representative texts of the latter part of the colonial period."--Publisher's description.
This proceedings book features selected papers on 12 themes, including telecommunication, power systems, digital signal processing, robotics, control systems, renewable energy, power electronics, soft computing and more. Covering topics such as optoelectronic oscillator at S-band and C-band for 5G telecommunications, neural networks identification of eleven types of faults in high voltage transmission lines, cyber-attack mitigation on smart low voltage distribution grids, optimum load of a piezoelectric-based energy harvester, the papers present interesting ideas and state-of-the-art overviews.
Mexican cinema has largely been overlooked by international film scholars because of a lack of English-language information and the fact that Spanish-language information was difficult to find and often out of date. This comprehensive filmography helps fill the need. Arranged by year of release and then by title, the filmography contains entries that include basic information (film and translated title, production company, genre, director, cast), a plot summary, and additional information about the film. Inclusion criteria: a film must be a Mexican production or co-production, feature length (one hour or more, silent films excepted), fictional (documentaries and compilation films are not included unless the topic relates to Mexican cinema; some docudramas and films with recreated or staged scenes are included), and theatrically released or intended for theatrical release.
