Proceedings of the National Association for Multicultural Education Seventh Annual Name Conference

Proceedings of the National Association for Multicultural Education Seventh Annual Name Conference

The National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME) held its 7th Annual Conference in 1997 with a theme of Daring to Educate for Equity and Excellence: A Multicultural and Bilingual Mandate for the 21st Century. The conference generated scholarship in the form of keynote speeches and conference papers and stimulating discussions among the membership. The conference's southwest location of Albuquerque New Mexico provided an excellent back drop to discuss the interconnections between multicultural education and bilingual education as well as provide an opportunity for proponents of both of these important ideas to engage in useful and important discussions. The essays comprised in this book capture much of the written record of the conference. They convey ideas beliefs and research findings that were presented at the formal sessions at the conference. Just as with NAME's previous proceedings it is expected that these proceedings will become not only a written record of the conference but a live curriculum to help pre/K through college educators to prepare themselves and those they teach for the 21st century. | Proceedings of the National Association for Multicultural Education Seventh Annual Name Conference

The Name of the Mother Writing Illegitimacy

The Name of the Mother Writing Illegitimacy

In this original and highly accomplished study first published in 1994 Marie Maclean studies the writings of social rebels and explores the relationship between their personal narratives and illegitimacy. The case studies which Maclean examines fall into four groups: those which stress alternative family structures and ‘female genealogies’ those which pair female illegitimacy and revolution those which question the deliberate refusal of the name of the father by the legitimate those which study the revenge of genius on the society which excludes it Skilfully interweaving feminist theory French literary criticism social and cultural history deconstruction and psychoanalytic theory Maclean traces the place of these personal narratives of illegitimacy in history and their use in theory from Elizabeth I to Freud Sartre and Derrida. The Name of the Mother will be of vital interest and importance to any student of critical theory feminist philosophy French or cultural studies. | The Name of the Mother Writing Illegitimacy

Name Image and Likeness Policies Institutional Impact and States Responses

Name Image and Likeness Policies Institutional Impact and States Responses

This book examines the path that name image and likeness (NIL) has taken in the first years of the policy how the expansion has led to differing approaches across state and universities and how administrators in selected states are dealing with the rulemaking power they have. After an introduction contextualising how NIL policies have impacted the administrative approach at institutions the remaining chapters focus on how NIL has altered the role of compliance offices and administrators tasked with monitoring academic and financial activity in athletic departments. Chapters leverage theories of policy diffusion and implementation to offer context on the topics from administrative and policy perspectives while also examining how entrepreneurs are both using the policies to advance the status of the athletic arms of their institutions while dealing with these compliance struggles. The authors conclude with a discussion of an unsettled policy landscape and whether stricter guidelines are on the horizon. Name Image and Likeness Policies will appeal to both scholars studying sport and law public policy public administration state politics and governance as well as readers seeking to better understand what impacts NIL is having on the college system and students connected to major sports such as college football and basketball. | Name Image and Likeness Policies Institutional Impact and States Responses

Design of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures

Design of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures

Design of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures outlines a new design methodology for digitally fabricated spatial timber plate structures presented with examples from recent construction projects. It proposes an innovative and sustainable design methodology algorithmic geometry processing structural optimization and digital fabrication; technology transfer and construction are formulated and widely discussed. The methodology relies on integral mechanical attachment whereby the connection between timber plates is established solely through geometric manipulation without additional connectors such as nails screws dowels adhesives or welding. The transdisciplinary design framework for spatial timber plate structures brings together digital architecture computer science and structural engineering covering parametric modeling and architectural computational design geometry exploration the digital fabrication assembly of engineered timber panels numerical simulations mechanical characterization design optimization and performance improvement. The method is demonstrated through different prototypes physical models and three build examples focusing specifically on the design of the timber-plate roof structure of 23 large span arches called the Annen Headquarters in Luxembourg. This is useful for the architecture engineering and construction (AEC) sector and shows how new structural optimization processes can be reinvented through geometrical adaptions to control global and local geometries of complex structures. This text is ideal for structural engineering professionals and architects in both industry and academia and construction companies.

Beggars Banquet and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Revolution ‘They Call My Name Disturbance'

Beggars Banquet and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Revolution ‘They Call My Name Disturbance'

The Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet is one of the seminal albums in rock history. Arguably it not only marks the advent of the ‘mature’ sound of the Rolling Stones but lays out a new blueprint for an approach to blues-based rock music that would endure for several decades. From its title to the dark themes that pervade some of its songs Beggars Banquet reflected and helped define a moment marked by violence decay and upheaval. It marked a move away from the artistic sonic flourishes of psychedelic rock towards an embrace of foundational streams of American music – blues country – that had always underpinned the music of the Stones but assumed new primacy in their music after 1968. This move coincided with and anticipated the ‘roots’ moves that many leading popular music artists made as the 1960s turned toward a new decade; but unlike many of their peers whose music grew more ‘soft’ and subdued as they embraced traditional styles the music and attitude of the Stones only grew harder and more menacing and their status as representatives of the dark underside of the 60s rock counterculture assumed new solidity. For the Rolling Stones the 1960s ended and the 1970s began with the release of this album in 1968. | Beggars Banquet and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Revolution ‘They Call My Name Disturbance'

Praising His Name In The Dance Spirit Possession in the Spiritual Baptist Faith and Orisha Work in Trinidad West Indies

Praising His Name In The Dance Spirit Possession in the Spiritual Baptist Faith and Orisha Work in Trinidad West Indies

The author provides a detailed portrait of the Spiritual Baptist Faith and Orisha Work two religions that share a common basis in the traditional religion of the Yoruba in West Africa. Specifically the author studies the phenomenon of spirit possession an integral aspect of worship in both religions. In the Spiritual Baptist Faith a person who is possessed by the Holy Spirit retains his or her own identity while in Orisha Work those who are possessed by the orishas (spirits) become the spirits. Both types of possession are based on the Yoruba concept of self in which identity is dependent on the spirit which animates a physical body. This common basis of religions enables the respective populations to interact extensively and explains why an individual can experience both types of spiritual possession. | Praising His Name In The Dance Spirit Possession in the Spiritual Baptist Faith and Orisha Work in Trinidad West Indies

City for Conquest

City for Conquest

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby still captivates readers with its vision of 1920s New York as a city of infinite potential where ambition and defeat live hand in hand. This sentiment is captured with even greater acuity in the pages of Aben Kandel's nearly forgotten masterpiece of urban life City for Conquest (1936). The source of the classic 1940s James Cagney film of the same name this panoramic New York novel captures the complex patterns of city life vividly evoking a metropolis of dreams and nightmares. Kandel portrays a volatile city inhabited by the aristocrat the criminal the idealist the bohemian the driven the entrapped and the impoverished all equally striving to make a dent in this town. The city itself is booming its new constructions callously built on destruction supplanting with equal disdain the slums of Brooklyn and the farm fields of the Bronx. This feverish microcosm of humanity inhabits a world of immense inequality where six blocks from Wall Street people haven't got a dime six blocks from duplex apartments people live in hovels and between the scarlet sore and the apple of the eye there lay a thick eyebrow of indifference. A literary triumph in the tradition of Stephen Crane's Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and John Dos Passos' Manhattan Transfer and out of print for far too long City for Conquest is the inaugural work of fiction in Transaction's new Lost Urban Classics series.

What's in Shakespeare's Names

What's in Shakespeare's Names

‘What’s in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet. ’ So says Juliet in the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet but originally published in 1978 Murray Levith shows just how wrong Juliet was. Shakespeare was extremely careful in his selection of names. Not only the obvious Hotspur or the descriptive Bottom or Snout but most names in Shakespeare’s thirty-seven plays had a more than superficial significance. Beginning with what has been written previously Levith illustrates how Shakespeare used names – not only those he invented in the later comedies but those names bequeathed to him by history myth classical literature or the Bible. Levith moves from the histories through the tragedies to the comedies listing each significant name play by play giving the allusions references and suggestions that show how each name enriches interpretations of action character and tone. Dr. Levith examines Shakespeare’s own name and speculates upon the playwright’s identification with his characters and the often whimsical naming games he played or that were played upon him. A separate alphabetical index is provided to facilitate the location of individual names and in addition cross references to plays are given so that each name can be considered in the context of all the plays in which it appears. | What's in Shakespeare's Names

Performing for the Don Theaters of Faith in the Trump Era

Performing for the Don Theaters of Faith in the Trump Era

This volume examines the intersection of political power and religion during the presidency of Donald Trump through an examination of performance. This study begins with an examination of white evangelical Christian support for Trump through readings of the 2018 film The Trump Prophecy based on a book of the same name and The Faith of Donald J. Trump a spiritual biography of the former president by veteran Christian reporters David Brody and Scott Lamb. White evangelicals Christianized Trump during his run for office in 2016 and Trump’s ascension to the presidency broke down barriers between church and state in service of dominionistic Christian aims. This exploration then looks at the conservative Catholicism through an exploration of Heroes of the Fourth Turning a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama by Will Arbery and Rod Dreher’s The Benedict Option. While Trump’s connection to evangelicals is well documented conservative Catholics like Attorney General Bill Barr and Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett took on pivotal roles during the Trump administration demonstrating the significance of conservative Catholicism to his presidency. The author finally examines the cult of Trump on the internet by interrogating the performance of spirituality in pro-Trump conspiracy theories like QAnon. This book will be of great interest not only to theatre and performance studies scholars but also scholars with interests in political and religious studies. | Performing for the Don Theaters of Faith in the Trump Era

Silver and Society in Late Antiquity Functions and Meanings of Silver Plate in the Fourth to Seventh Centuries

Silver and Society in Late Antiquity Functions and Meanings of Silver Plate in the Fourth to Seventh Centuries

The spectacular hoards of late antique silver - Mildenhall Thetford Sevso - discovered since the middle of the last century have aroused much interest in this luxury art form. But what did these pieces mean to their owners and why was silverware so important in late antiquity? Silver and Society in Late Antiquity examines such questions through an integrated synthetic analysis of the history of silver in the Roman empire between 300 and 650 AD focusing upon the cultural significance of this luxury art form in all its different manifestations-sacred imperial and domestic. Ruth Leader-Newby looks at a wide range of objects from both the eastern and western halves of the Roman empire - including Britain - in order to determine silver's role in the wider sphere of late antique visual culture asking questions about the relative significance of individual forms of artistic production and their relationship with each other. In doing so key issues for the artistic and cultural history of late antiquity are raised - the use of the imperial image the visual construction of the sacred in Christianity the cohesive social role of elite intellectual culture and the Christianization of the domestic sphere. As this book demonstrates when studied in its historical context silver can substantially enrich our understanding of late Roman art and culture. | Silver and Society in Late Antiquity Functions and Meanings of Silver Plate in the Fourth to Seventh Centuries

SamulNori: Korean Percussion for a Contemporary World

SamulNori: Korean Percussion for a Contemporary World

SamulNori is a percussion quartet which has given rise to a genre of the same name that is arguably Korea’s most successful ’traditional’ music of recent times. Today there are dozens of amateur and professional samulnori groups. There is a canon of samulnori pieces closely associated with the first founding quartet but played by all and many creative evolutions on the basic themes made by the rapidly growing number of virtuosic percussionists. And the genre is the focus of an abundance of workshops festivals and contests. Samulnori is taught in primary and middle schools; it is part of Korea’s national education curriculum. It has dedicated institutes and there are a number of workbooks devoted to helping wannabe ’samulnorians’. It is a familiar part of Korean performance culture at home and abroad in concerts but also in films and theatre productions. SamulNori uses four instruments: kkwaenggwari and ching small and large gongs and changgo and puk drums. These are the instruments of local percussion bands and itinerant troupes that trace back many centuries but samulnori is a recent development of these older traditions: it was first performed in February 1978. This volume explores this vibrant percussion genre charting its origins and development the formation of the canon of pieces teaching and learning strategies new evolutions and current questions relating to maintaining developing and sustaining samulnori in the future. | SamulNori: Korean Percussion for a Contemporary World

The Anthropocene Approaches and Contexts for Literature and the Humanities

The Anthropocene Approaches and Contexts for Literature and the Humanities

Perhaps no concept has become dominant in so many fields as rapidly as the Anthropocene. Meaning The Age of Humans the Anthropocene is the proposed name for our current geological epoch beginning when human activities started to have a noticeable impact on Earth’s geology and ecosystems. Long embraced by the natural sciences the Anthropocene has now become commonplace in the humanities and social sciences where it has taken firm enough hold to engender a thoroughgoing assessment and critique. Why and how has the geological concept of the Anthropocene become important to the humanities? What new approaches and insights do the humanities offer? What narratives and critiques of the Anthropocene do the humanities produce? What does it mean to study literature of the Anthropocene? These are the central questions that this collection explores. Each chapter takes a decidedly different humanist approach to the Anthropocene from environmental humanities to queer theory to race illuminating the important contributions of the humanities to the myriad discourses on the Anthropocene. This volume is designed to provide concise overviews of particular approaches and texts as well as compelling and original interventions in the study of the Anthropocene. Written in an accessible style free from disciplinary-specific jargon many chapters focus on well-known authors and texts making this collection especially useful to teachers developing a course on the Anthropocene and students undertaking introductory research. This collection provides truly innovative arguments regarding how and why the Anthropocene concept is important to literature and the humanities. | The Anthropocene Approaches and Contexts for Literature and the Humanities

Planning for the Common Good

Planning for the Common Good

Appeals to the ‘common good’ or ‘public interest’ have long been used to justify planning as an activity. While often criticised such appeals endure in spirit if not in name as practitioners and theorists seek ways to ensure that planning operates as an ethically attuned pursuit. Yet this leaves us with the unavoidable question as to how an ethically sensitive common good should be understood. In response this book proposes that the common good should not be conceived as something pre-existing and ‘out there’ to be identified and applied or something simply produced through the correct configuration of democracy. Instead it is contended that the common good must be perceived as something ‘in here ’ which is known by engagement with the complexities of a context through employing the interpretive tools supplied to one by the moral dimensions of the life in which one is inevitably embedded. This book brings into conversation a series of thinkers not normally mobilised in planning theory including Paul Ricoeur Alasdair MacIntyre and Charles Taylor. These shine light on how the values carried by the planner are shaped through both their relationships with others and their relationship with the ‘tradition of planning’ – a tradition it is argued that extends as a form of reflective deliberation across time and space. It is contended that the mutually constitutive relationship that gives planning its raison d’être and the common good its meaning are conceived through a narrative understanding extending through time that contours the moral subject of planning as it simultaneously profiles the ethical orientation of the discipline. This book provides a new perspective on how we can come to better understand what planning entails and how this dialectically relates to the concept of the common good. In both its aim and approach this book provides an original contribution to planning theory that reconceives why it is we do what we do and how we envisage what should be done differently. It will be of interest to scholars students and practitioners in planning urban studies sociology and geography. | Planning for the Common Good
