Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: Language, Education and Society Series by : Routledge
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: Language, Education and Society Series written by Routledge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published between 1985 and 1987, this set of books attempts to tackle some of the complex issues implied by the title Language, Education and Society. For example how is language related to learning? Or to intelligence? Do regional and social accents and dialects matter? What is meant by standard English? Do immigrant children require special language provision? Why are there so many adult illiterates in Britain and the USA? Although the importance of language to education is agreed there is still a lot to learn about how language is related to either to educational success or to intelligence and thinking -- both fields to which this collection contributes valuable research. Some of the specific topics the covered by the wide-ranging and insightful research contained in this series include: an analysis of the school teaching of mathematics from the perspective of mathematics as a language -- principally how the processes of communication in a maths classroom are shaped by school conventions and the fact that it is mathematics under discussion; an examination of the changing patterns in English usage and style, especially written usage -- focusing on questions of syntax and punctuation -- and how this relates to speech and the value of usage as a social act; an exploration of the history and impact of mass literacy on industrialised societies, how this differs from traditional oral culture, and the effect of a culture where most people rely on complex combinations of oral and literate communication on a sizable sub-literate minority; an investigation into which languages are in widespread use among children and adults in England, the patterns of language use in different social contexts, the teaching of community languages inside and outside of mainstream schools, and the educational implications of this linguistic diversity for all children. This set will be of interest to educational researchers, sociologists and students of sociolinguistics.

Download or read book Routledge Revivals: Theatres of the Left 1880-1935 (1985) written by Raphael Samuel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, this book examines how workers theatre movements intended their performances to be activist — perceiving art as a weapon of struggle and enlightenment — and an emancipatory act. An introductory study relates left-wing theatre groupings to the cultural narratives of contemporary British socialism. The progress of the Workers’ Theatre Movement (1928-1935) is traced from simple realism to the most brilliant phase of its Russian and German development alongside which the parallel movements in the United States are also examined. A number of crucial texts are reprints as well as stage notes and glimpses of the dramaturgical controversies which accompanied them.

Book Synopsis Unmasking Masculinity (Routledge Revivals) by : David Jackson
Download or read book Unmasking Masculinity (Routledge Revivals) written by David Jackson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this detailed investigation of ‘masculine’ gendered identity, first published in 1990, David Jackson uses his own personal history to look at the specific ways in which men become ‘masculine’. In doing so he examines, but also offers some positive challenges to, the assumed qualities and values of growing up ‘manly’. Jackson looks closely at the psychological and social forces active in his own development: relations with his father, violence at school, male banter and joking, sporting activities, boys’ comics, and sexual relations. The title is a deliberate blend between life story and critical commentary that makes use of some areas of post-structuralist theory to make visible the social and emotional processes that contribute to one man’s life history. With an innovative theoretical approach, this reissue will be of particular value to those interested in the social, psychological and cultural forces that have gone into the historical shaping of men and masculinities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this title, first published in 1985, Michael Bristol draws on several theoretical and critical traditions to study the nature and purpose of theatre as a social institution: on Marxism, and its revisions in the work of Mikhail Bakhtin; on the theories of Emile Durkheim and their adaptations in the work of Victor Turner; and on the history of social life and material culture as practiced by the Annales school. This valuable work is an important contribution to literary criticism, theatre studies and social history and has particular importance for scholars interested in the dramatic literature of Elizabethan England.

Book Synopsis Language, Structure and Reproduction by : Paul Atkinson
Download or read book Language, Structure and Reproduction written by Paul Atkinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-26 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basil Bernstein is one of the most influential British sociologists, yet his work is widely misunderstood and misinterpreted. Contentious debates over his theories of language have often obscured the underlying themes and continuities in Bernstein's sociological inspiration. First published in 2004, this book redresses the balance. Rather than reviewing the sociolinguistic work by Bernstein and his collaborators, it portrays Bernstein as a sociologist in the Durkheimian tradition. It is argued that Bernstein, as a structuralist, uses his theory of 'codes' as a representation of the symbolic forms of power and the social division of labour. This book would be of importance to those interested in the sociology of education, language and society, anthropological linguistics and communication studies.

Book Synopsis Torture and Truth (Routledge Revivals) by : Page duBois
Download or read book Torture and Truth (Routledge Revivals) written by Page duBois and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1991, this book — through the examination of ancient Greek literary, philosophical and legal texts — analyses how the Athenian torture of slaves emerged from and reinforced the concept of truth as something hidden in the human body. It discusses the tradition of understanding truth as something that is generally concealed and the ideas of ‘secret space’ in both the female body and the Greek temple. This philosophy and practice is related to Greek views of the ‘Other’ (women and outsiders) and considers the role of torture in distinguishing slave and free in ancient Athens. A wide range of perspectives — from Plato to Sartre — are employed to examine the subject.
