Book Synopsis Youth and Popular Culture in 1950s Ireland by : Eleanor O’Leary
Download or read book Youth and Popular Culture in 1950s Ireland written by Eleanor O’Leary and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on a decade in Irish history which has been largely overlooked, Youth and Popular Culture in 1950s Ireland provides the most complete account of the 1950s in Ireland, through the eyes of the young people who contributed, slowly but steadily, to the social and cultural transformation of Irish society. Eleanor O'Leary presents a picture of a generation with an international outlook, who played basketball, read comic books and romance magazines, listened to rock'n'roll music and skiffle, made their own clothes to mimic international styles and even danced in the street when the major stars and bands of the day rocked into town. She argues that this engagement with imported popular culture was a contributing factor to emigration and the growing dissatisfaction with standards of living and conservative social structures in Ireland. As well as outlining teenagers' resistance to outmoded forms of employment and unfair work practices, she maps their vulnerability as a group who existed in a limbo between childhood and adulthood. Issues of unemployment, emigration and education are examined alongside popular entertainments and social spaces in order to provide a full account of growing up in the decade which preceded the social upheaval of the 1960s. Examining the 1950s through the unique prism of youth culture and reconnecting the decade to the process of social and cultural transition in the second half of the 20th century, this book is a valuable contribution to the literature on 20th-century Irish history.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Repeal by : Kevin B. Nowlan
Download or read book The Politics of Repeal written by Kevin B. Nowlan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1965, The Politics of Repeal is primarily concerned with the last great campaign in Daniel O’Connell’s career and its impact on British and Irish politics. The 1840s were marked by a formidable agitation to have the Act of Union repealed and an independent Irish legislature restored. In attacking the Union between Great Britain and Ireland, O’Connell encountered the sustained opposition of Sir Robert Peel and a study of the conflict between the two men is an important feature of the book. Dr. Nowlan also discusses the rise of the Young Ireland movement and the disputes between the Young Irelanders and O’Connell. The political developments during the dark years of the Great Famine are examined and a close study is made of the events leading up to the Irish rebellion of 1848 and of the relations between Irish nationalists and French republicans during that year of revolutions. This book will be of interest to students of Irish history, British history, and political science.

Book Synopsis Ireland's Hope: The “peculiar theories” of James Fintan Lalor by : James P. Bruce
Download or read book Ireland's Hope: The “peculiar theories” of James Fintan Lalor written by James P. Bruce and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1847 and 1848 a little-known farmer named James Fintan Lalor wrote a series of newspaper articles in which he outlined his vision for Ireland after the Great Famine. Although they have been reprinted and republished many times since, until now there has been no systematic study of the principles and proposals that Lalor expounded. In this book, the author considers Lalor’s brief career as a writer and offers new insights into his treatment of the national and land questions. By elucidating Lalor’s ideas on these questions, exploring possible influences on his thinking, and assessing the impact of his writings on his contemporaries, the author seeks to address what he regards as two deficiencies in the historiography. The first of these is the tendency to assign only a minor, supporting role to Lalor during the brief heyday of Young Ireland. Academic studies typically portray him as little more than a catalyst in the radicalisation of figures like John Mitchel, rather than as a profoundly original thinker in his own right. The second issue is the commonly held perception of Lalor’s proposals on land tenure as foreshadowing the creation of a “peasant proprietary” later in the century. The author argues that Lalor advocated a much more radical plan that would link his two primary objectives: the creation of a sovereign Irish republic, and transfer of control over landholding from a small number of landlords to the entire Irish people. By comparing and contrasting Lalor’s theories with those of earlier figures such as Thomas Paine and James ‘Bronterre’ O’Brien, this ground-breaking book broadens the perspective on Lalor and his writings beyond the context of Irish nationalism. As the author concludes, Lalor’s unique contribution to Irish radical thought merits a more prominent place in nineteenth-century intellectual history than it has hitherto received. This book will be of great value to anyone interested in Irish history since 1800, especially in the areas of the Great Famine, the Young Ireland movement, and the Land War.

Book Synopsis Child and Youth Participation in Policy, Practice and Research by : Deirdre Horgan
Download or read book Child and Youth Participation in Policy, Practice and Research written by Deirdre Horgan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-23 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases rights based participatory approaches to policy-making, practice and research with children and youth. Throughout its three parts, the book conceptualises a rights-based participatory approach; showcases constructive and innovative rights based participatory approaches across the domains of research, policy and practice; and interrogates the challenges and complexities in the implementation of such an approach. In recent times, Ireland has been at the forefront of promoting and implementing participatory approaches to policy-making, practice and research focused on children and youth. This edited volume is a timely opportunity to capture previously undocumented learning generated from a wide range of innovative participatory initiatives implemented in Ireland. In capturing this learning, real world guidance will be provided to international policy-makers, practitioners and researchers working with children and youth. This book is essential reading for those interested in a rights based participatory approach, for those who want to appropriately and meaningfully engage children and youth in research, and for those wishing to maximise the contribution of children and youth in policy-making.

From a farming family, she learns her trade in country papers before graduating to a main newspaper in the big smoke, Dublin. There, she rises to the top in a profession renowned for its back biting and betrayals, making it on her own verve, skills, and sheer tenacity. Along the way, she has a lot fun. Sorcha quickly finds that she has no sexual inhibitions, with either men or women. She takes great pleasure in her many sexual adventuressome of which turn out to be hilarious. But despite all the fun and games, she also enjoys in her upward journey in the newspaper world. As she works, she learns more and more about what really goes on behind the scenes in the arcane atmosphere of newspaper production. Rising to the Deadline is a story of raw, thrusting sexuality, but its also a touching story of how a young, talented country girl, with no important connections, makes a huge impact in the newspaper business, beating the old boys network at their own game.

Book Synopsis New Images of Thought in the Study of Childhood Drawing by : Laura Trafí-Prats
Download or read book New Images of Thought in the Study of Childhood Drawing written by Laura Trafí-Prats and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-21 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a revitalised account of the study of children’s drawing by outlining a departure from existing approaches privileging developmentalist accounts and presenting drawing as a specialised human endeavour separated from other material entanglements constituting children’s everyday experiences. The book takes on current developments in the fields of early childhood arts and early childhood literacies to advocate for process-oriented, new materialist and decolonial approaches that re-conceptualise the study of children’s drawing. It proposes a future-oriented approach, centred on thinking experimentally with a focus on nonrepresentational elements, such as movement, sensation, intensity, rhythm, story and place, which singularly assemble in drawing events. Thus, the book discusses drawing as a process of sense-making that is not enclosed in the individualised body of the child and that unfolds corporeally in time and space. It revises the relation of drawing with symbolisation by suggesting that the use of language and signs in drawing form in entanglement with matter and sensation in processes of creative speculation connected with the movement of thought. Presenting a series of contributions by internationally recognised scholars and artists, the book aims to create synergies between theory and practice that speak of everyday realities interconnecting children, learning and sense-making.
Book Synopsis Psychology and Mathematics Education by : Gila Hanna
Download or read book Psychology and Mathematics Education written by Gila Hanna and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Mathematics is constructed rigorously through proofs, based on truths, which are either axioms or previously proven theorems. Thus, it is par excellence a model of rational inquiry. Links between Cognitive Psychology and Mathematics Education have been particularly strong during the last decades. Indeed, the Enlightenment view of the rational human mind that reasons, makes decisions and solves problems based on logic and probabilities, was shaken during the second half of the twentieth century. Cognitive psychologists discovered that humans' thoughts and actions often deviate from rules imposed by strict normative theories of inference. Yet, these deviations should not be called "errors": as Cognitive Psychologists have demonstrated, these deviations may be either valid heuristics that succeed in the environments in which humans have evolved, or biases that are caused by a lack of adaptation to abstract information formats. Humans, as the cognitive psychologist and economist Herbert Simon claimed, do not usually optimize, but rather satisfice, even when solving problem. This Research Topic aims at demonstrating that these insights have had a decisive impact on Mathematics Education. We want to stress that we are concerned with the view of bounded rationality that is different from the one espoused by the heuristics-and-biases program. In Simon’s bounded rationality and its direct descendant ecological rationality, rationality is understood in terms of cognitive success in the world (correspondence) rather than in terms of conformity to content-free norms of coherence (e.g., transitivity).
Book Synopsis Remote Online Language Assessment: Eliciting Discourse from Children and Adults by : Natalia Gagarina
Download or read book Remote Online Language Assessment: Eliciting Discourse from Children and Adults written by Natalia Gagarina and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being able to collect valid data is crucial for empirical science disciplines such as linguistics, developmental psycholinguistics, clinical psycholinguistics and speech and hearing sciences. In recent years there has been an increasing use of digital devices for remote language assessments, such as online elicitation of language samples, apps for eliciting expressive and productive lexical abilities, and online questionnaires. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic still affecting many lives globally, there have been numerous disruptions of face-to-face, in-person language assessments, leading many researchers to conduct their language assessments online. Despite the necessity of remote language assessments and the convenience they may bring to both assessors and assessees, the potential merits, limits, and problems of remote testing have not yet been systematically explored and understood. This timely Research Topic seeks contributions that mobilize new evidence and/or insightful and nuanced discussions to address questions such as: can we control online testing so that it is as good as face-to-face, in-person testing, and, if so, how? Do we have evaluative evidence of such practices, and if so, how robust is the evidence? What adaptations and concerns can and cannot be accommodated at the present time? What opportunities are offered by recent technological advances? Are there certain conditions in which online testing works better or worse? Last but not least, how do differences between offline, in-person language assessments and online, remote assessments affect the results of testing? The current topic has two main foci: the first deals with the assessment of conversational discourse in general and narrative discourse in particular, in both children and young adults. Communicative competence at the discourse level has been considered an essential and ecologically valid component in language assessments of children and adults, for three key reasons: 1) this competence is crucial for an individual’s everyday functioning and academic and social life, 2) it provides information about an individual’s socio-cognitive and linguistic abilities, and 3) it is a versatile test of language skills at the levels of content, form, use and their integration. The second focus is on comparing the results elicited via in-person assessments and remote, online assessments. This Research Topic welcomes empirical articles discussing new evidence, perspective and opinion papers on issues at the conceptual-methodological interface, and methods articles presenting approaches that can offer opportunities for remote testing of developmental discourse supported by recent technological advances. Potential themes may include, but are not limited to: • comparisons of remote versus in-person testing modes using a within-participants research design • learner variables such as age, gender, language status (monolingual, multilingual), and clinical status (typically-developing children and adults, children and adults with clinical conditions such as (developmental) language disorder, autism spectrum disorder) which may affect the efficacy of remote testing • linguistic variables such as the use of referential and relational devices and mental state language which may be subject to more variations when being assessed remotely • new methods that offer opportunities for the remote testing of developmental and adult discourse, supported by recent technological advances • articles addressing the same research question within developmental narrative discourse but using different (i.e. either online or offline) research methods.
Book Synopsis Psychosocial Perspectives on Peacebuilding by : Brandon Hamber
Download or read book Psychosocial Perspectives on Peacebuilding written by Brandon Hamber and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Psychosocial Perspectives on Peacebuilding offers a template for those dealing with the aftermath of armed conflict to look at peacebuilding through a psychosocial lens. This Volume, and the case studies that are in it, starts from the premise that armed conflict and the political violence that flows from it, are deeply contextual and that in dealing with the impact of armed conflict, context matters. The book argues for a conceptual shift, in which psychosocial practices are not merely about treating individuals and groups with context and culturally sensitive methods and approaches: the contributors argue that such interventions and practices should in themselves shape social change. This is of critical importance because the psychosocial method continually highlights how the social context is one of the primary causes of individual psychological distress. The chapters in this book describe experiences within very different contexts, including Guatemala, Jerusalem, Indian Kashmir, Mozambique, Northern Ireland, South Africa and Sri Lanka. The common thread between the case studies is that they each show how psychosocial interventions and practices can influence the peacebuilding environment and foster wider social change. Psychosocial Perspectives on Peacebuilding is essential reading for social and peace psychologists, as well as for students and researchers in the field of conflict and peace studies, and for psychosocial practitioners and those working in post-conflict areas for NGO’s.
