Mucho antes de que los hombres inventasen la escritura, y por supuesto mucho antes aún de la modernización de la imprenta, los relatos y las canciones de tradición oral alimentaban esa necesidad tan humana que llamamos cultura y que tan bien logra satisfacer la literatura. Aquella literatura de tradición oral ha tenido desde siempre en la niñez a uno de sus principales aliados, ya fuese como emisores, como receptores, o simplemente porque estaban por allí, a los pies de sus mayores… Esa voz infantil de la memoria de los pueblos ha sido el tema de investigación y encuentro de unas jornadas iberoamericanas que nacieron en 2007 en el seno de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, de la ...

El llibre recull diverses aportacions d’un congrés d’actualització científica, didàctica i metodològica, que té la finalitat d’oferir un espai d’encontre, intercanvi, dinamització i síntesi de les propostes que el professorat de la Comunitat Valenciana ha realitzat, orientades a la millora en l’ensenyament-aprenentatge de les Humanitats i les Ciències Socials, així com analitzar els reptes i les metes que puguen establir-se en l’actualitat i per al futur més immediat. Un fòrum que potencia l’intercanvi i la comunicació d’experiències resulta, indefugiblement, enriquidor per al professorat, ja que les experiències docents solen ser respostes hàbils i eficaces als problemes comuns que a diari es troben tant en la gestió d’aula, com del centre i fora d’ell i que implica tota la comunitat educativa, formada per famílies, alumnat i docents.
In un poliedrico contesto d’interculturalità e d’internazionalizzazione, in cui si rende necessaria una formazione linguistica specializzata basata su competenze trasversali, il volume intende incentivare la discussione su questioni relative alla concezione del discorso come fenomeno che si sviluppa dinamicamente nell’intersezione tra lingua e società. Ci siamo proposti, quindi, di consolidare l’interesse dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II a promuovere il dibattito sulla rilevanza, nella ricostruzione dell’attuale contesto sociale, del conseguimento di un’istruzione di qualità, che sia equa, inclusiva e sostenibile. I saggi raccolti, che nascono da un progetto europeo di ricerca (ErasmusPlus, EULALIA), ci consentono di osservare e comprendere l’utilizzo di nuove tipologie e modalità discorsive a partire da tre nuclei tematici: Multialfabetizzazione e multimodalità: trasversalità e i discorsi del futuro, Discorso inclusivo e sociale: verso un utilizzo responsabile e Digital literacies: nuovi discorsi e formazione linguistica.

In recent years an increasing number of scholars have incorporated a focus on emotions in their theories of material culture, transnationalism and globalization, and this book aims to contribute to this field of inquiry. It examines how ‘emotions’ can be theorized, and serves as a useful analytical tool for understanding the interrelated mobility of humans, objects and images. Ethnographically rich, and theoretically grounded case studies offer new perspectives on the relations between migration, material culture and emotions. While some chapters address the many different ways in which migrants and migrant artists express their emotions through objects and images in transnational contexts, other chapters focus on how particular works of art, everyday objects and artefacts can evoke feelings specific to particular migrant groups and communities. Case studies also analyse how artists, academics and policy makers can stimulate positive interaction between migrants and non-migrant communities.

Las sociedades asientan sus pensamientos y memorias en las narraciones. En la codificación de los textos residen gran parte de los miedos, anhelos o creencias del conjunto de personas a las que trasciende la cultura. En esta contribución se aúnan conceptos clave que hacen que una sociedad pueda reflejar sus modos de pensamiento en la ficción fantástica. Así, la cultura fan, los superhéroes o la lectura multimodal recorren de manera coral las páginas de esta obra, proporcionando a la persona lectora una visión comprensiva de lo que suponen las narrativas de marca, el auge de las superheroínas, las distopías, lo transmediático o la épica en tiempos posmodernos. Con un marcado carácter vanguardista, los contenidos de este libro ayudarán al receptor a comprender aspectos de nuestra cultura actual de una mejor manera, así como le permitirán sumergirse en una ficción necesaria que le permita evadirse de determinadas preocupaciones que generan zozobra en los tiempos actuales. La construcción de los escenarios fantásticos se sumará a la realidad cotidiana para conformar una atmósfera edificante para la persona.
