Connecting Africa and Asia Afrasia as a Benign Community

Connecting Africa and Asia Afrasia as a Benign Community

By 2100 more than 80 per cent of the world’s population is expected to live in Afrasia (Africa and Asia). This book draws lessons from history provides a new cognitive map of the world and discusses multiple challenges global citizens will face in the age of Afrasia an emerging macro-region. The centre of gravity of the world is shifting. Whether the world can manage a soft landing into sustainable equilibrium depends on the nature of the dialogue people in Africa and Asia will organise. The author argues that a state of equilibrium between the two is achievable provided issues related to gender employment agriculture human–nature relationships and multicultural coexistence are simultaneously addressed. Can future Afrasia present itself as a community determined not to allow the return of predatory practice internally and externally? Will the fates of African and Asian peoples converge or diverge? How about the future relationships between Afrasia and the rest of the world? Exploring these questions using multiple disciplines this book will be of interest to professional researchers and graduate students in IR and Afro-Asian relations as well as Asian and African area studies demography geography history development economics anthropology language education and religious studies.

Teaching with Dystopian Text Exploring Orwellian Spaces for Student Empowerment and Resilience

Teaching with Dystopian Text Exploring Orwellian Spaces for Student Empowerment and Resilience

Teaching with Dystopian Text propounds an exchange of spatial to pedagogical practices centered around “Orwellian Spaces ” signaling a new utility for teaching with dystopian texts in secondary education. The volume details the urgency of dystopian texts for secondary students providing theoretical frameworks classroom examples and practical research. The function of dystopian texts such as George Orwell’s 1984 as social and political critique is demonstrated as central to their power. Teaching with Dystopian Text: Exploring Orwellian Spaces for Student Empowerment and Resilience makes a case that dystopian texts can be instrumental in the transfer of spatial practices to pedagogical practices. Pedagogical application creates links between the text and the student through defamiliarization connecting the student to practices of resistance in the space of the classroom. The volume also addresses the challenges of teaching dystopian text in a dystopian educational climate including the COVID-19 lockdown. In addition to appealing to scholars and researchers of literacy education language education and dystopian text this book will also be a powerful yet accessible resource for secondary teachers as they address dystopian concerns with students in the complicated twenty-first century. | Teaching with Dystopian Text Exploring Orwellian Spaces for Student Empowerment and Resilience

Kinesic Intelligence in the Humanities

Kinesic Intelligence in the Humanities

This research collection showcases how kinesic intelligence is fundamental to human communication and our ability to produce complex meaning exploring its manifestations across a range of humanities disciplines and connecting our past with our social and cultural future. The book defines kinesic intelligence as a higher-order intellectual competence that allows human beings to interact and grow cognitively and intersubjectively through sensorimotricity and interpersonal movement. Understood in this way kinesic intelligence can offer insights into the development of humans’ meaning-making abilities and in turn society and culture more broadly. Recognizing the power of the humanities in furthering sociocultural development the collection features perspectives from scholars across a range of topics including the multimodality of language acquisition in children; young adults in clinical psychology and medical humanities; nonverbal communication in history; legal language and reasoning; literature and cognitive studies; the internet and multispecies anthropology; and sensoriality in history and art. Foregrounding the impact of the humanities in promoting new understandings of human intelligence this volume will be of interest to scholars in cognitive legal and literary studies multimodality anthropology history medical humanities and those with an interest in the real-world impact of the humanities. | Kinesic Intelligence in the Humanities

Traditional Values and Local Community in the Formal Educational System in Senegal Relevance Need and Barriers to the Integration of Local

Traditional Values and Local Community in the Formal Educational System in Senegal Relevance Need and Barriers to the Integration of Local

This book explores the discourse of traditional values and local practices within the formal educational system in Senegal investigating how these cultural elements are present in the daily life of the community and integrated into formal schools and teaching. Studying the integration of concepts such as Jom (hard work pride dignity) Kersa (decency) Fule (self-respect) Mun (endurance) Teranga (hospitality) Kal (kinship) and Suture (Protection) it looks at how values are used perceived and understood within communities as well as their positive and negative connotations in the postcolonial context. Based on long-term participant education and utilizing a critical auto-ethnography lens it ultimately proposes that such concepts can be used to counterbalance the Western knowledge to which schoolchildren are mostly exposed connecting this to Bhaba’s system of the ‘Third Space”; a hybrid system to accommodate both educational systems for more relevant education. An informed study of the positive impacts of traditional cultural values on education in Senegal it will appeal to scholars researchers and practitioners of education in post-colonial Francophone countries with interests in culturally relevant education African education post-colonial education and international education. | Traditional Values and Local Community in the Formal Educational System in Senegal Relevance Need and Barriers to the Integration of Local

Puppet and Spirit: Ritual Religion and Performing Objects Volume I Sacred Roots: Material Entities Consecrating Acts Priestly Puppeteers

This anthology of essays aims to explore the many types of relationships that exist between puppets broadly speaking and the immaterial world. The allure of the puppet goes beyond its material presence as historically and throughout the globe many uses of puppets and related objects have expressed and capitalized on their posited connections to other realms or ability to serve as vessels or conduits for immaterial presence. The flip side of the puppet’s troubling uncanniness is precisely the possibilities it represents for connecting to discarnate realities. Where do we see such connections? How do we describe analyze and theorize these relationships? The first of two volumes this book focuses on these questions in relation to long-established traditional practices using puppets devotional objects and related items with sacred aspects to them or that perform ritual roles. Looking at performance traditions and artifacts from China Indonesia Korea Mali Brazil Iran Germany and elsewhere the essays from scholars and practitioners provide a range of useful models and critical vocabularies for addressing the ritual and spiritual aspects of puppet performance further expanding the growing understanding and appreciation of puppetry generally. This book along with its companion volume offers for the first time robust coverage of this subject from a diversity of voices examples and perspectives. | Puppet and Spirit: Ritual Religion and Performing Objects Volume I Sacred Roots: Material Entities Consecrating Acts Priestly Puppeteers

The Materiality of the Archive Creative Practice in Context

The Materiality of the Archive Creative Practice in Context

The Materiality of the Archive is the first volume to bring together a range of methodological approaches to the materiality of archives as a framework for their engagement analysis and interpretation. Focusing on the archives of creative practices the book reaches between and across existing bodies of knowledge in this field including material culture art history and literary studies unified by an interest in archives as material deposits and aggregations in both analogue and digital forms as well as the material encounter. Connecting a breadth of disciplinary interests in the archive with expanding discourses in materiality contributors address the potential of a material engagement to animate archival content. Analysing the systems processes and actions that constitute the shapes forms and structures in which individual archival objects accumulate and the underpinnings which may hold them in place as an archival body the book considers ways in which the inexorable move to the digital affects traditional theories of the physical archival object. It also considers how stewardship practices such as description and metadata creation can accommodate these changes. The Materiality of the Archive unifies theory and practice and brings together professional and academic perspectives. The book is essential reading for academics researchers and postgraduate students working in the fields of archive studies museology art history and material culture. | The Materiality of the Archive Creative Practice in Context

The Law of the Sea Normative Context and Interactions with other Legal Regimes

The Law of the Sea Normative Context and Interactions with other Legal Regimes

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea follows a comprehensive approach and can be interpreted dynamically to include the regulation of all potential human uses of the ocean but the law of the sea cannot be viewed in isolation from other fields of international law. International law does not resemble a hierarchically structured legal system; its different parts interact when different rules address the same activity or situation. The academic discussion concerning the specialization and proliferation of international legal rules and dispute settlement bodies has theoretical as well as practical relevance for the law of the sea and its interaction with other parts of international law. The intensified use of the oceans for different purposes and the ongoing proliferation of international rules addressing different activities from different perspectives and with distinct foci require a more thorough evaluation of how the law of the sea relates to other fields of international law how the normative context can be approached theoretically and if interdisciplinary interfaces can be adequately addressed. This book discusses the normative context of the law of the sea and the interactions of the law of the sea with other legal regimes. By connecting high-quality research with new ideas and perspectives this book offers expertise from different fields and perspectives in which the interaction between the law of the sea and other fields of international law becomes particularly relevant. | The Law of the Sea Normative Context and Interactions with other Legal Regimes

The Transformation of the Media Globalisation Morality and Ethics

The Transformation of the Media Globalisation Morality and Ethics

The changing pattern of contemporary media is one of the most striking and important transformations of our age. This major new work seeks to understand the implications of a series of mediated processes in relation to public cultures and modern identities. In The Transformation of the Media the author leads the reader through a number of complex theoretical issues connecting the nature of modern communication to the affects this has on our common moral and ethical lives.

Theoretical Models and Processes of Literacy

Theoretical Models and Processes of Literacy

The Seventh Edition of this foundational text represents the most comprehensive source available for connecting multiple and diverse theories to literacy research broadly defined and features both cutting-edge and classic contributions from top scholars. Two decades into the 21st century the Seventh Edition finds itself at a crossroads and differs from its predecessors in three major ways: the more encompassing term literacy replaces reading in the title to reflect sweeping changes in how readers and writers communicate in a digital era; the focus is on conceptual essays rather than a mix of essays and research reports in earlier volumes; and most notably contemporary literacy models and processes enhance and extend earlier theories of reading and writing. Providing a tapestry of models and theories that have informed literacy research and instruction over the years this volume’s strong historical grounding serves as a springboard from which new perspectives are presented. The chapters in this volume have been selected to inspire the interrogation of literacy theory and to foster its further evolution. This edition is a landmark volume in which dynamic dialogic and generative relations of power speak directly to the present generation of literacy theorists and researchers without losing the historical contexts that preceded them. Some additional archival essays from previous editions are available on the book’s eResource. New to the Seventh Edition: Features chapters on emerging and contemporary theories that connect directly to issues of power and contrasts new models against more established counterparts. New chapters reflect sweeping changes in how readers and writers communicate in a digital era. Slimmer volume is complemented by some chapters from previous editions available online. | Theoretical Models and Processes of Literacy

Case Studies in Physical Education Real World Preparation for Teaching

Case Studies in Physical Education Real World Preparation for Teaching

Case Studies in Physical Education Revised Edition applies the case study method to the field of physical education where it is an effective means for future teachers to explore challenging scenarios that they are likely to encounter in their careers. These engaging reader-friendly case studies provide readers with concrete suggestions for connecting classroom theory with what actually happens in school. Theories and concepts concerning educational philosophy methodology curriculum discipline and assessment become more meaningful when explored in a case scenario in which the central characters confront situations that develop as a consequence of their or others' pedagogical choices. The cases in this book also promote critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Each case is followed by questions that prompt readers to analyze the situation formulate a plan of action to address the problem and anticipate and evaluate the potential consequences of the plan's implementation. In small groups individually or as a whole class readers can explore and debate their strategies for addressing the issues. Readers will learn there is no one right answer to situations that can occur in the education environment. They will develop their communication skills as they learn to articulate and defend a plan of action to address the situation and they will also learn the importance of collaborating with colleagues as they listen to and learn from the ideas of others. These cases were prepared by 36 experienced physical educators (from the elementary secondary and university levels)who collaborated in teams to create cases based on their collective real-life experiences. As a result the cases take place in a variety of contexts: in elementary middle and high schools; in urban suburban rural schools; and in wealthy and needy districts. They present a variety of issues encountered in schools today including issues related to teaching methods classroom management multicultural education classroom assessment inclusion relations with co-workers marginalization of physical education and gender equity. As in real life each case raises a number of related issues that stimulate further discussion or provide opportunities for assignments. This revised edition contains the same proven effective case studies as in the first edition while incorporating minor updating throughout to reflect changes in technology and society since its original publication. | Case Studies in Physical Education Real World Preparation for Teaching

Security of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Counterinsurgency in Balochistan

Security of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Counterinsurgency in Balochistan

This book analyses the strategic and economic significance of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) with a particular focus on the region of Balochistan. Given the history of multiple insurgencies that the Pakistani Military has confronted in Balochistan the book examines the region’s intricate conflict ecosystem and security landscape which poses potential threats to the CPEC. Structured chronologically the book traces the evolution of the Pakistani Army’s counterinsurgency practices inherited in 1947 from the British Indian Army’s culture of fighting small wars through to the contemporary counterinsurgency (COIN) adaptation in the “war on terror” and afterwards to the fifth round of the Balochistan insurgency. The analysis centres on the development of counterinsurgency theory and practice by the Pakistani Army. It empirically investigates the efficacy of the COIN strategy in Balochistan. The author argues that the approach significantly changed after conceptualising the doctrine especially from 2016 onwards from “butcher and bolt” to the inclusion of critical components like political primacy affect-based and focused use of force “winning hearts and minds” and rules of engagement. As a result there was reduced violence and an increased number of insurgent surrenders. This book concludes that the Pakistani Army has largely controlled the insurgency in Balochistan. However simultaneously there is an urgent need to reduce tangible support to the insurgents through porous borders and implement an effective strategy to sever the nexus between the Islamic State of Khorasan (ISKP) and the Baloch insurgent organisations as well as the sectarian militant organisations in Balochistan province. This is crucial to ending the insurgency and ensuring the security of CPEC. A novel contribution to the study of counterinsurgency and the importance of CPEC to China’s foreign policy and diplomacy as well as its effects on the conflict dynamics in Balochistan the book will be of interest to researchers studying War and Conflict Studies Terrorism Studies International Relations Security and Strategic Studies and South Asian and Chinese Studies. | Security of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Counterinsurgency in Balochistan
