The shaman‐trickster's art of misdirection: The rhetoric of Farrakhan and the million men     

John Arthos Jr. 《Quarterly Journal of Speech》2013,99(1):41-60

A charismatic sleight of hand characterizes many rhetorical transactions in African American culture, an adroit manipulation engendered by a history that crushed open confrontation. The skill of the double voiced utterance was appropriated into a performance art which is practiced even today. The Million Man March exemplified the art of “gittin’ ovuh,” an action that simultaneously undercuts one's enemies‐putting something over on someone‐and provides spiritual uplift‐getting over to the promised land. Such a magical performance works by exploiting the power of rhetoric to show and hide. But this is not the same as an exploitation of sophistic technique, because there is an overlapping of the magic of illusion and the magic of the sacred. For contemporary rhetoric this presents an occasion to regard the ethics of deception and the curious phenomenon of a moral sophistry. Louis Farrakhan, although often viewed (perhaps with reason) as either ambitious claimant to national black leadership, or as a skillful exploiter of prejudices, may also be viewed as a master of the art of gittin ovuh, and his call was an incantation that evoked the prodigious response of the “Million Men.” The demonstration on the Washington Mall in October of 1995 enacted a spiritual magic show that has deep cultural roots.  相似文献   

‘That great educational experiment’: the City of London Vacation Course in Education 1922–1938: a forgotten story in the history of teacher professional development     

Wendy Robinson 《History of education》2013,42(5):557-575

Each summer between 1922 and 1938, up to 500 elementary school teachers from across Britain, and some from overseas, joined together in London for a two-week residential vacation course. Organised by Evans’ Brothers Publishers and patronised by leading educationists, politicians and policy-makers, the City of London Vacation Course came to be regarded as an important annual educational institution and a cutting-edge exemplar of teacher professional development. In spite of this apparent fame, it appears to have been entirely overlooked in the history of teacher education. This paper seeks to recover the lost story of the City of London Vacation Course and documents its educational and professional focus and its social and cultural function. Locating it within a wider educational, economic and political climate, the paper also examines how the City of London Vacation Course somehow captured and embodied the promise of an emergent new professionalism for elementary teachers during that period.  相似文献   

When love hurts: Assessing the intersectionality of ethnicity,socio-economic status,parental connectedness,child abuse,and gender attitudes in juvenile violent delinquency     

Esmah Lahlah  Kim M.E. Lens  Stefan Bogaerts  Leontien M. van der Knaap 《Child abuse & neglect》2013

Researchers have not yet reached agreement about the validity of several competing explanations that seek to explain ethnic differences in juvenile violent offending. Ethnicity cannot solely explain why boys with an ethnic minority background commit more (violent) crimes. By assessing the intersectionality of structural, cultural and individual considerations, both the independent effects as well as the interplay between different factors can be examined. This study shows that aforementioned factors cumulatively play a role in severe violent offending, with parental connectedness and child abuse having the strongest associations. However, since most variables interact and ethnicity is associated with those specific factors, a conclusion to be drawn is that ethnicity may be relevant as an additional variable predicting severe violent offending although indirectly.  相似文献   

The effects of individual characteristics,socioeconomic status,and political engagement on the attainment of student leadership roles in Chinese university students     

Ching-Ling Wu  Wei Bao 《International Journal of Educational Development》2013

This study analyzes the effects of individual characteristics, socioeconomic status, and political engagement among Chinese university students with respect to their attainment of student leadership roles. The study investigated 10,930 students from elite Chinese universities. The results showed that female and only-child students were more likely to become student leaders than male students and students with siblings. Students from local Hukou (household registration) were less likely than students from nonlocal Hukou, to become student leaders. Each upgrade of one level in the membership of the Chinese Communist Party doubled the students’ odds for attaining student leadership roles.  相似文献   

关怀生命：我国教师生存现状的实证研究   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

刘彬 《安徽职业技术学院学报》2008,7(3):67-70

“社会本位论”下的道德存在和知识存在无法完整诠释教师的主体存在,生命存在是教师主体存在的根基。教师体力、脑力、心理等方面的全面和谐发展必须以“以人为本”即教师生命存在作为其逻辑前提。生命教育理应关怀教师生命存在最基本的、最具体的生存条件,而这种生命关照必然要建立在对教师生存现状的实证研究基础之上。  相似文献   

关注民族传统体育:现状、问题与思考   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

王岗 《首都体育学院学报》2008,20(2):1-4

以民族传统体育为研究对象,在查阅文献基础上,对民族传统体育的发展现状、问题进行了研究。指出:(1)"喜忧参半"是民族传统体育发展的现状。(2)西方体育对民族传统体育的"挤压"是民族传统体育发展中的最大问题。在"现状"和"问题"分析的基础上,对民族传统体育发展中的一些关键性问题进行了文化学意义上的思考。(1)大量的民族传统体育的存在正表现出一种"有其外壳,却少血脉"的文化贫瘠状况。(2)"重视中华优秀传统文化教育和传统经典、技艺的传承",已经给我们指出了明确的发展方向。(3)我们的民族传统体育发展,应该建立一种有别于西方体育、奥林匹克运动超市的新的体育超市——中华民族传统体育超市。(4)关注他人的体育行为,已经不再是公民的喜好,"崇拜自己的身体是我们时代的特征"。  相似文献

张志  廉京辉  王鑫亚 《军事体育进修学院学报》2008,27(2):117-119

军事体能素质是国防生军事素质的重要组成部分.然而,通过调查发现,国防生毕业入伍时达<军标>(即<中国人民解放军军人体能标准>)率较低,与军校生的差距较为明显.制约国防生军事体能素质提高的因素是多方面的,包括:两种教育理念的矛盾、训练管理体系不健全、师资力量缺乏、军地协调不流畅、政策与对策的矛盾等因素.  相似文献
