Book Synopsis The Alienated Academy by : Wen-hsin Yeh
Download or read book The Alienated Academy written by Wen-hsin Yeh and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enormous changes in twentieth-century Chinese higher education up to the Sino-Japanese War are detailed in this pioneering work. Yeh examines the impact of instruction in English and of the introduction of science and engineering into the curriculum. Such innovations spurred the movement of higher education away from the gentry academies focused on classical studies and propelled it toward modern middle-class colleges with diverse programs. Yeh provides a typology of Chinese institutions of higher learning in the Republican period and detailed studies of representative universities. She also describes student life and prominent academic personalities in various seats of higher learning. Social changes and the political ferment outside the academy affected students and faculty alike, giving rise, as Yeh contends, to a sense of alienation on the eve of war.
Book Synopsis Republican Academies by : Francis Gladstone

Book excerpt: Does the collapse of communism leave 'welfare capitalism' as the only rational way to organize a society? Not for Rudolf Steiner. Already in the 1920s this unconventional Austrian philosopher insisted that it is not enough to recognize that government-planned economies don't work-centralized control of education is just as counter-productive. Steiner's attempts to win support for a constitutional separation of economic, political and cultural activity proved unsuccessful. But his practical experiment in republican self-management-the Stuttgart Waldorf School-did survive and it inspired the foundation of many other schools along the same lines. Today there are hundreds of Waldorf schools in Europe, America and elsewhere. And very few of them have a head teacher or any permanent management hierarchy. Waldorf schools are not always the 'models of harmonious co-operation' that Steiner hoped for. Republican self-management in schools, he ceaselessly points out, not only depends on experiential study-a continuous sharing of classroom experience based on a common understanding of child development. It also requires teachers who persevere with the self-education necessary for social harmony. And these are difficult challenges. But the Waldorf school movement does carry forward nearly a century's experience of co-operative working-experience that will become increasingly significant as the search for alternatives to 'welfare capitalism' becomes increasingly urgent. Hence Steiner's often colorful advice on how to build forms that can liberate human creativity remains as relevant today as it was in the 1920s. Because Steiner's insights are scattered in many different publications, it can be difficult to gain a clear and balanced picture of his views on the organization of schools and other cultural institutions. Gathering together these insights in one place, Republican Academies reveals a consistent and coherent philosophy of co-operation and self-management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pillars of the Republic is a pioneering study of common-school development in the years before the Civil War. Public acceptance of state school systems, Kaestle argues, was encouraged by the people's commitment to republican government, by their trust in Protestant values, and by the development of capitalism. The author also examines the opposition to the Founding Fathers' educational ideas and shows what effects these had on our school system.

Book Synopsis Aristocratic Education and the Making of the American Republic by : Mark Boonshoft
Download or read book Aristocratic Education and the Making of the American Republic written by Mark Boonshoft and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the American Revolution, it was a cliche that the new republic's future depended on widespread, informed citizenship. However, instead of immediately creating the common schools--accessible, elementary education--that seemed necessary to create such a citizenry, the Federalists in power founded one of the most ubiquitous but forgotten institutions of early American life: academies, privately run but state-chartered secondary schools that offered European-style education primarily for elites. By 1800, academies had become the most widely incorporated institutions besides churches and transportation projects in nearly every state. In this book, Mark Boonshoft shows how many Americans saw the academy as a caricature of aristocratic European education and how their political reaction against the academy led to a first era of school reform in the United States, helping transform education from a tool of elite privilege into a key component of self-government. And yet the very anti-aristocratic critique that propelled democratic education was conspicuously silent on the persistence of racial and gender inequality in public schooling. By tracing the history of academies in the revolutionary era, Boonshoft offers a new understanding of political power and the origins of public education and segregation in the United States.
Download or read book Republican Jesus written by Tony Keddie and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complete guide to debunking right-wing misinterpretations of the Bible—from economics and immigration to gender and sexuality. Jesus loves borders, guns, unborn babies, and economic prosperity and hates homosexuality, taxes, welfare, and universal healthcare—or so say many Republican politicians, pundits, and preachers. Through outrageous misreadings of the New Testament gospels that started almost a century ago, conservative influencers have conjured a version of Jesus who speaks to their fears, desires, and resentments. In Republican Jesus, Tony Keddie explains not only where this right-wing Christ came from and what he stands for but also why this version of Jesus is a fraud. By restoring Republicans’ cherry-picked gospel texts to their original literary and historical contexts, Keddie dismantles the biblical basis for Republican positions on hot-button issues like Big Government, taxation, abortion, immigration, and climate change. At the same time, he introduces readers to an ancient Jesus whose life experiences and ethics were totally unlike those of modern Americans, conservatives and liberals alike.

Book Synopsis Colette's Republic by : Patricia A. Tilburg
Download or read book Colette's Republic written by Patricia A. Tilburg and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In France's Third Republic, secularism was, for its adherents, a new faith, a civic religion founded on a rabid belief in progress and the Enlightenment conviction that men (and women) could remake their world. And yet with all of its pragmatic smoothing over of the supernatural edges of Catholicism, the Third Republic engendered its own fantastical ways of seeing by embracing observation, corporeal dynamism, and imaginative introspection. How these republican ideals and the new national education system of the 1870s and 80s - the structure meant to impart these ideals - shaped belle époque popular culture is the focus of this book. The author reassesses the meaning of secularization and offers a cultural history of this period by way of an interrogation of several fraught episodes which, although seemingly disconnected, shared an attachment to the potent moral and aesthetic directives of French republicanism: a village's battle to secularize its schools, a scandalous novel, a vaudeville hit featuring a nude celebrity, and a craze for female boxing. Beginning with the writer and performer Colette (1873-1954) as a point of entry, this re-evaluation of belle époque popular culture probes the startling connections between republican values of labor and physical health on the one hand, and the cultural innovations of the decades preceding World War I on the other.
