História Em Quadrinhos
Nem as histórias em quadrinhos, nem a escola, muito menos a vida, se restringem a “rótulos”. Somos complexos e fazemos parte de processos em constante transformação. Sendo assim, este livro se propõe pensar propostas pedagógicas no âmbito do Ensino Médio em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar. Para isto, traz os projetos educativos pensados pelos próprios estudantes, a partir de atividade de iniciação científica no Colégio Pedro II, orientada pelo professor, Doutor em História Comparada e Especialista em ensino de História, Gabriel Valladares Giesta. Contudo, nenhum destes títulos formam o diferencial deste trabalho, mas sim o protagonismo e inventividade dos próprios estud...
Gleichberechtigung in Deutschland
Der 19. Januar 1919 markiert ein entscheidendes Datum für die Gleichberechtigung der Geschlechter in Deutschland: Seit jenem Tag können auch Frauen das aktive und passive Wahlrecht ausüben. Und dennoch bleibt auch über 100 Jahre danach die Verwirklichung einer gleichberechtigten gesellschaftlichen Teilhabe ein aktuelles Thema. So sind die Fürsorge- und Erwerbsarbeit zwischen den Geschlechtern nach wie vor in hohem Maße ungleich verteilt und auf Führungspositionen in allen Gesellschaftsbereichen sind Frauen weiterhin deutlich in der Minderheit. Zudem propagieren rechtspopulistische, immer mehr in die bürgerliche Mitte drängende Strömungen und Parteien mit zunehmender Intensität heteronormative Geschlechtermodelle als naturgegeben und unumstößlich. Margarete Menz und Katrin Sorge führen anhand zentraler Meilensteine durch die Geschichte der Geschlechtergleichberechtigung in Deutschland und verdeutlichen anschaulich anhand ausgewählter Beispiele aus Politik und Gesellschaft aktuelle Entwicklungen.
Livsløp
Hvorfor løper vi? Når noen spør 70-åringen Andreas Hompland om hvorfor han driver med løping, svarer han med å parafrasere filosofen Arne Næss: Hvorfor sluttet du med det? Vi mennesker har alltid løpt, og få har flere kilometer i beina enn Hompland. I denne vakre og filosofiske boka forteller han hva idretten betyr for ham. Med forfatterens vanlige humor og sting svinger han innom alt fra sammenhengen mellom sivilstatus og løpeform til anekdoter om den kjederøykende og bajerdrikkende dansken med den beste maratontiden på norsk jord (2.12.58). Men først og fremst setter Hompland ord på hvorfor så mange mennesker liker å løpe: «Det er mulig at eg spring etter eller frå noe, men først og fremst spring eg til noe, og inn i noe. Det stig i meg, og eg sig inn i det. Ein rytme. Ein samtale med kroppen. Med lufta og underlaget
Hæ?
Hvilken norsk skuespiller er med i Indiana Jones-filmen Jakten på den forsvunne skatten? Våren 2021 begynte Knut Nærum å lage en av landets vanskeligste quizer. Siden den gang har han stilt kinkige spørsmål hver lørdag i Klassekampen. Mye kultur, lite aktualitet, ingen sport. Dette er de quizene. Poenget med en quiz er ikke å svare riktig, sier han. Det er å glede seg over ny kunnskap. Ham om det. Knut Nærum (f. 1961) er serietegner, forfatter, dramatiker, quizmaster og tidligere tv-kjendis. I årene 1999–2015 var han lagkaptein i NRKs satiriske ukemagasin Nytt på nytt. Han har skrevet Donald Duck-manus siden 2009. På 1990-tallet lagde han tegneserien Bloid, som er samlet i ni hefter. Han har skrevet 20 voksenbøker, de fleste av dem alene, og ni bildebøker for barn, illustrert av Bjørn Ousland. Sammen med Karstein Volle har han laget tegneseriebøkene Muffens og Likbilen. Nærum har produsert tegneserien Streberne for Klassekampen siden 2020, og en ukentlig quiz for samme avis siden 2021. Som deltaker på laget 16.07.41 er han mangeårig norgesmester i litteraturquiz, uten at det nødvendigvis har gått ham til hodet.
En notre âme et conscience
1907. La criminalité en France explose, la troisième République connaît des débuts chaotiques au sein d'une France chahutée par les grèves de fonctionnaires, les débats anti-colonialistes, les révoltes des vignerons et la montée du féminisme. Prenant connaissance du nombre effroyable d'affaires criminelles non élucidées, Georges Clémenceau, fraîchement nommé Président du Conseil et ministre de l'Intérieur, décide, selon les conseils de Célestin Hennion, de la création d'une nouvelle police. La naissance des brigades mobiles, bientôt appelées « Brigades du Tigre », prémisses de la police judiciaire, est imminente. Fils unique de parents menacés par une bien étrange...
