Teachers in the Movies
The teaching profession has a long history in motion pictures. As early as the late 19th century, films have portrayed educators of young children--including teachers, tutors, day care workers, nannies, governesses, and other related occupations--in a variety of roles within the cinematic classroom. This work provides a broad index of more than 800 films (both U.S. and foreign) which feature educators as primary characters. Organized alphabetically by title, each entry contains a short plot summary and many also include cast and crew details. A detailed subject index is also included.
Tu t'es donné la mort à 22 ans
Un témoignage émouvant sur la première année de deuil suite à la perte d'un être cher À vingt-deux ans, Corentin, étudiant en communication, sportif, entouré de vrais amis et d’une famille unie, semble mener une vie facile. Mais une nuit, sans aucun signe précurseur, il met fin à ses jours après avoir envoyé un message d’amour à tous ses proches. La vie bascule alors pour toute sa famille. Après l’organisation des funérailles, la formidable solidarité, mais aussi l’anesthésie des premiers jours, commence l’enfer des questions, des regrets et du besoin d’expliquer un suicide totalement insoupçonné. Aidée par un thérapeute, la maman de Corentin s’accroche po...
Federalism and the Welfare State in a Multicultural World
Until the 1990s social policy played an integrative role in Canada, providing a counter-narrative to claims that federalism and diversity undermine the potential of social policy. Today, however, the Canadian model is under strain, reflecting changes in both the welfare state and the immigration-citizenship-multiculturalism regime. Federalism and the Welfare State in a Multicultural World illustrates that there are clear trends that, if unchecked, may exacerbate rather than overcome important social cleavages. The editors argue that we are at a crucial moment to re-evaluate the role of social policy in a federal state and a multicultural society, and if federalism and diversity challenge tra...
The Routledge International Handbook of Transnational Studies
The Routledge International Handbook of Transnational Studies offers a comprehensive overview of the dynamic evolution and the most recent debates in this interdisciplinary field. The collection assembles scholarship from the social sciences and the humanities that share a critical perspective extending beyond the nation-state. The contributions investigate sustained connections, events, and activities across state borders and acknowledge prevailing global power asymmetries. The handbook examines the dynamics of transnational processes across seven main themes: epistemological and methodological principles; transnational migrant practices and family remittances; mobilities and (self-)identit...
My Operatic Roles
This book was produced for Placido Domingo's 60th birthday and the 40th anniversary of his debut in a major role (Alfredo in La Traviata in 1961). It is a portrait of the artist in his own words, through his own portrayals of the various operatic heroes he has so grippingly and hauntingly brought to life over the years. The series of interviews took place all over the world over several years, from Seville to New York to Vienna and home in Acapulco. They trace his journey into each of his 62 major roles for the benefit of present and future singers, to single out the specific vocal aspects in each role that he considers significant. - Author's note.
Life Storying in Oral History
This book proposes the concept of "fictional contamination" to capture the fact that fictionalization and literary complexity can be found across different kinds of narrative. Exploring conversational storytelling in oral history and other interviews from socionarratological perspectives, the book systematically discusses key narrative features such as story templates, dialogue, double deixis, focalization or perspective-taking and mind representation as well as special narrative forms including second-person narration and narratives of vicarious experience. These features and forms attest to storytellers’ linguistic creativity and serve the function of involving listeners by making storie...
To Know How to Suggest …
The importance of didactic training in conference interpreting has become the subject of increased discussion. This collective volume provides overviews of theories and examples of training practices and tools for a didactic approach to the development of interpreting competence. This book is geared towards new institutions offering interpreter training, teachers just starting out in conference interpreter training and who lack experience, as well as experienced interpreter training practitioners who may be interested in theory-based training. This volume does not aim to present in-depth scientific theories. Individual theoretical perspectives are discussed where they provide the basis for a specific application in interpreter training. The contributions are meant to serve as suggestions to provide a new perspective on various topics.
Landschapsontwerp in Vlaanderen
Vlaanderen kent een grote diversiteit aan landschappen met een extreme overlapping tussen platteland en stad en de ermee gepaard gaande multifunctionaliteit. Deze regio vormt daarom bij uitstek een boeiend laboratorium voor onderzoek, opleiding en praktijk in landschapsontwerp. Toch is landschapsontwerp hier opvallend minder geprofessionaliseerd of verankerd dan in vele andere Europese landen. De invloed ervan op het ruimtelijk beleid is klein en ook in een internationale context lijkt het Vlaamse landschapsontwerp zich maar moeizaam te kunnen positioneren. Dit boek schetst eerst in hoofdlijnen hoe de professionalisering en institutionalisering van het landschapsontwerp zich in Vlaanderen hi...
