Playful Memories
This volume examines the blending of fact and fiction in a series of cultural artefacts by post-dictatorship writers and artists in Argentina, many of them children of disappeared or persecuted parents. Jordana Blejmar argues that these works, which emerged after the turn of the millennium, pay testament to a new cultural formation of memory characterised by the use of autofiction and playful aesthetics. She focuses on a range of practitioners, including Laura Alcoba, Lola Arias, Félix Bruzzone, Albertina Carri, María Giuffra, Victoria Grigera Dupuy, Mariana Eva Perez, Lucila Quieto, and Ernesto Semán, who look towards each other's works across boundaries of genre and register as part of the way they address the legacies of the 1976-1983 dictatorship. Approaching these works not as second-hand or adoptive memories but as memories in their own right, Blejmar invites us to recognise the subversive power of self-figuration, play and humour when dealing with trauma.
Educational Knowledge
Focusing on comparative examination of educational reforms, this book explores the relation of state practices and educational knowledge to changes in culture and economics among nations. Countries with different state traditions and political regimes are studied to understand how national and global settings are interrelated in current restructuring of education and social welfare policies related to schooling. The regional cases focus on the policies of the European Union, restructuring efforts in Latin America, and family, child welfare, and early childhood policies in Eastern Europe. In addition, specific studies of national changes in Argentina, Great Britain, Germany, Russia, Tanzania,...
City in Common
In this book James Scorer argues that culture remains a force for imagining inclusive urban futures based around what inhabitants of the city have in common. Using Buenos Aires as his case study, Scorer takes the urban commons to be those aspects of the city that are shared and used by its various communities. Exploring a hugely diverse set of works, including literature, film, and comics, and engaging with urban theory, political philosophy, and Latin American cultural studies, City in Common paints a portrait of the city caught between opposing forces. Scorer seeks out alternatives to the current trend in analysis of urban culture to read Buenos Aires purely through the lens of segregation, division, and enclosure. Instead, he argues that urban imaginaries can and often do offer visions of more open communities and more inclusive urban futures.
Factors Affecting Learning and Cost Effective Schooling in Latin America
Despite many internationally-funded projects, literacy remains low in much of Latin America. Based on reviews of national programs and surveys administered in 1999 to a sample of public primary school students, parents, teachers, principals, and country education directors, this study sheds light on the Latin American quality of education. After de
La metáfora en la educación
El presente libro reúne una colección de artículos que expresan posiciones respecto a la metáfora asentadas en distintas posiciones teóricas, enfocando el fenómeno metafórico con criterios diversos, pero a la vez, coincidiendo todos ellos en resaltar cierto beneficio en la introducción de metáforas, no sólo en el discurso cotidiano, sino también en ámbitos científicos. La hipótesis central que orienta la dirección de los trabajos aquí presentados consiste en la afirmación de una pertinencia cognitiva de la metáfora, que escapa a una visión meramente etimológica enfrascada en aspectos puramente lingüísticos de los procesos de metaforización. Por ello, el aspecto principal en el que intenta contribuir esta obra consiste en visualizar los procesos de metaforización como cognitivamente comprometidos, desde trabajos que responden a posiciones más asépticas respecto a la incidencia de la metáfora en contextos no literarios, hasta casos de una clara aceptación de la utilización de metáforas en contextos matemáticos y su aplicación a la educación, ámbito central desde el cual girarán varias de las discusiones aquí presentes.
