Geography plays a pivotal role in shaping the development of societies worldwide, influencing cultural practices, economic activities, and political structures. Through the study of human geography—examining the spatial distribution of populations, resources, and activities—we gain insights into the intricate dynamics of societal evolution. This field provides a framework for understanding the interconnections between human activities and the natural world, while fostering critical thinking by encouraging alternative perspectives and challenging conventional wisdom. Such analytical exploration cultivates nuanced, independent thought—essential for active citizenship in a complex, rapidly changing world. Geography Education and Explorations on Human Development and Culture provides a theoretical, practical, and global vision of geography. It further provides various research around geography, culture, and education. Covering topics including intercultural skills, citizen participation, and disaster risk reduction, this book is an excellent resource for educators, researchers, scientists, academicians, professionals, and more.

Every culture in the world has a version of the story of Cinderella. Surveying thousands of tellings of what is perhaps the most popular fairy tale of all time, this critical examination explores how the famous folk heroine embodies common societal values, traits and ethics. Multiple adaptations in Spain--gay Cinderella, suicidal Cinderella, censored Cinderella, masked Cinderella, porn Cinderella and others--highlight not only Spanish traditions, history and Zeitgeist, but reflect the story's global appeal on a philosophical level.

Translation, the Canon and its Discontents

Translation, the Canon and its Discontents

This collection addresses the complex process by which translation and other forms of rewriting have contributed to canon formation, revision, destabilization, and dismantlement. Through the play between version and subversion, which is inherent to any form of rewriting, these essays – focusing on translations since the sixteenth century down to the present day – stress the role of translation and adaptation as potentially transformative mediations, capable of shaping and undermining identities. Such manipulation is deeply ambivalent, since it can be used as a means of disseminating the ideology of oppressive regimes at the expense of the source text; but it can also serve to garner attention to marginalised texts. This tense interplay between political, social, and aesthetic purposes almost inevitably generates discontents, which may turn out to be the outcome of translation in general. However, discontent is a relational concept, depending on where one stands in the field of competing positions that is the canon.

L'épuisement du biographique?

Pourquoi penser le biographique? N'est-il pas épuisé? Le siècle passé semble l'avoir vidé de son contenu et de sa substance et l'a réduit à un état d'affaiblissement presque complet dans le domaine des sciences sociales comme dans celui de la critique littéraire. L'enjeu de cet ouvrage est d'affirmer que le biographique déborde la biographie et de considérer le biographique comme une condition du retour de la biographie au moyen de son dépassement. Cet ouvrage rassemble des travaux abordant ...

Religion, Children's Literature, and Modernity in Western Europe, 1750-2000

In this book some 25 scholars focus on the relationship between religion, children's literature and modernity in Western Europe since the Enlightenment (c. 1750). They examine various aspects of the phenomenon of children's literature, such as types of texts, age of readers, position of authors, design and illustration. The role of religion in giving meaning both in a substantive sense as well as through the institutionalised churches is studied from an interdenominational point of view (Judaism, Roman Catholicism, Protestantism and Anglicanism). Finally, the contribution of pedagogy and child psychology in the interaction between modernity, religion and children's literature is also discuss...
