Translating Ovide Decroly’s ideas to Brazilian teachers     

Alessandra Arce Hai  Frank Simon  Marc Depaepe 《Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education》2015,51(6):744-767

This article seeks to analyse, comprehend and apprehend the appropriation processes of Ovide Decroly’s ideas in Brazil through the translation of his books and that of Amélie Hamaïde into Portuguese. The article discusses the following questions. Why did Brazilian intellectuals and teachers need to import Decroly’s ideas to be applied in Brazilian schools? Did the translation of Decroly’s and Hamaïde’s books play an innovative role in Brazilian society? Did the release of these books bring about changes, and did it stabilise and legitimise discourses that were already present in Brazil? Who were the translation agents of those books? First, discussions concerning travelling knowledge and cultural translation, as well as translation and the role of translation agents, are introduced. The translated books and their (production) contexts are then presented, comparing and analysing the source books and the translations. The analyses aim at understanding this journey and answering these questions, and it will be shown that Decroly’s ideas were torn apart into “pieces of knowledge” gaining life and autonomy throughout the journey, and turning into facts. It is advocated that his ideas were appropriated as “indigenous foreigners” in Brazil.  相似文献

安徽乡村文化生活现状的调查与思考--以枞阳县与颖上县的村落调查为基础     

丁成际 《淮南师范学院学报》2015,(1)

从调查的结果来看,目前安徽乡村文化生活在省民生工程的支持之下,广播电视“村村通”、农家书屋、基层文化馆站等纷纷展开,农村数字化电影放映与文化信息资源共享等建设项目在逐步进展之中,文化基础设施局部得到明显地改善,但文化投入不足、文化设施利用率不高、文化发展不平衡的现象广泛存在,农村文化事业队伍与管理体制不健全,乡村常住人员日益减少,传统乡村文化面临着无人传承的困局;从文化建设立场上来说,要在以尊重乡村为主体的基础上并以借鉴与汲取其他优秀文化成果来进行,新农村文化生活建设的主力军应该是农民,要充分调动其积极性与主体性来进行乡村文化生活的建设;从国家管理者来说,管理者要做到整合、协调乡村文化生活资源,充分发挥乡民创造与享受文化生活的积极性与主动性。  相似文献   

‘Twilight or Middlemarch?’ A Teacher’s Refusal to Choose     

Sandhya P. Singh 《Changing English: An International Journal of English Teaching》2015,22(1):3-13

What should children and young adolescents read? Recent changes in the English curriculum have once again shifted the focus towards more canonical texts, but does featuring such texts on the course necessarily equate to rigorous teaching and in-depth learning? Through a self-examination of her own reading history, the author argues for a dialogic approach to reading and text selection instead, so that students may negotiate better understandings of themselves and their own socio-cultural contexts.  相似文献   

Complicating ‘student behaviour’: exploring the discursive constitution of ‘learner subjectivities’     

Zsuzsa Millei  Eva Bendix Petersen 《Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties》2015,20(1):20-34

When educators consider ‘student behaviour’, they usually think about ‘problem behaviour’ such as disruption or defiance. This limited and limiting view of ‘student behaviour’ not only fails to acknowledge children as educational actors in a wider sense, but also narrowly positions educators as either in control or out of control of their classroom. Mainstream educational psychology’s responses to ‘challenging behaviour’ point educators to numerous ways to prevent its occurrence, through, for example, changing their disciplining approaches and techniques. However, much of the advice directed at improving student behaviour fails to interrogate the core notion of ‘student behaviour’ itself, as well as the conceptual baggage that it carries. The focus is squarely on eliminating ‘problem behaviour’ and often resorts to a pathologisation of students. Meanwhile, when considering ‘student behaviour’ through a Foucauldian post-structuralist optic, behaviour emerges as something highly complex – as spatialised, embodied action within/against governing discourses. In this opening up, it becomes both possible and critical to defamiliarise oneself with the categorisation of ‘challenging behaviour’ and to interrogate the discourses and subject positionings at play. In this paper, we pursue this task by asking: what happens with the notion of ‘behaviour’ if we change focus from ‘fixing problems’ to looking at the discursive constitution of ‘learner subjectivities’? What does it become possible to see, think, feel and do? In this exploration, we theorise ‘behaviour’ as learning and illustrate the constitution of ‘learner subjectivities’. Drawing on two case scenarios, we explore how children accomplish themselves as learners and how this accomplishment links the production of subjectivity and embodied action, and illustrate how ‘student/child behaviour’ appears significantly different to what mainstream educational psychology would have us see.  相似文献   

Let’s Meet in Nepantla: The Possibility of Thirdspace as a Place “Others” Call Home     

Minerva S. Chávez 《Journal of Latinos & Education》2015,14(4):336-344

This autoethnography posits that my presence as a working-class Chicana obtaining an education in the United States consequently created a Thirdspace environment I recognize as Nepantla. Thirdspace allowed me to navigate urban schooling and elite institutions of higher education. Two narratives demonstrate opposing forms of acquired dominant and nondominant forms of cultural capital to interrogate the value of Thirdspace when considering unique knowledge generated by an insider along the margins. This article articulates that strategic construction of bridges into Nepantla may assist Latino students to successfully navigate the schooling experience and offer the potential to reframe educational discourse.  相似文献   

艺术视角下文学作品的意义和价值--对长篇小说《山乡巨变》、《三里湾》和《创业史》的解读     

刘江 《廊坊师范学院学报》2015,(2)

在文学创作中,艺术视角的选择具有重要的意义。同是描写农业合作化运动的《山乡巨变》、《三里湾》和《创业史》,因为作家采用了不同的艺术视角,所以这三部作品也就具有了不同的思想意蕴,它们的意义和价值也就不同。文学作品的最大意义和价值是在文化上,而不是在政治上。纵观中外的文学史可以发现,艺术视角既具有个人性,也具有时代性和作家个人的反叛性。  相似文献

全球化既为话语权的争夺提供了角斗场,也文化的自我展示提供了国际大舞台。其竞争核心就是文化价值观与文化认同感。电影文化就处在这个竞争舞台的最前沿。因此,建构具有民族特色的电影文化对塑造具有凝聚力和向心力的国家文化具有重大意义。  相似文献
