 Other People's English: Code-Meshing, Code-Switching, and African American Literacy By Vershawn Ashanti Young, Rusty Barrett, Y'Shanda Young-Rivera, Kim Brian Lovejoy 2013 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 0807755559 | PDF | 2 MB Other People's English demonstrates the possibilities of a Twenty-First Century pedagogy for Ebonics-speaking students, other students who speak marginalized English varieties, and ultimately all students. The authors make a persuasive case and are to be commended for shedding new light on an old problem. Their work takes the literacy field to the next level. Would I buy this book and recommend it to others? No doubt.''--Geneva Smitherman, University Distinguished Professor Emerita of English and African American and African Studies, Michigan State UniversityThis book presents an empirically grounded argument for a new approach of teaching writing to diverse students in the English language arts classroom. Responding to advocates of the ''code-switching'' approach, four uniquely qualified authors make the case for ''code-meshing''--allowing students to use standard English, African American English, and other Englishes in formal academic writing and classroom discussions. This practical resource translates theory into a concrete roadmap for pre- and in-service teachers who wish to use code-meshing in the classroom to extend students' abilities as writers and thinkers and to foster inclusiveness and creativity. The text provides activities and examples from middle and high schools as well as college and addresses the question of how to advocate for code-meshing with skeptical administrators, parents, and students.Book Features:* A rationale for the social and educational value of code-meshing, including answers to frequently asked questions about language variation.* Authors from the fields of linguistics, writing studies, English education, and teacher education.* Teaching tips that have been used with students and in professional development workshops.* Action plans that invite readers to make code-meshing a shared project that informs instructional practices and addresses cultural prejudices.

On Freud's "Beyond the Pleasure Principle" By Salman Akhtar (ed.), Mary Kay O'Neil (ed.) 2011 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 1855757850 | PDF | 11 MB Freud's "Beyond the Pleasure Principle" constitutes a major landmark and a real turning point in the evolution of psychoanalytic theory. Pushing aside the primacy of the tension-discharge-gratification model of mental dynamics, this work introduced the notion of a daemonic force within all human beings that slowly but insistently seeks psychic inactivity, inertia, and death. Diverse and rich connotations of the proposal are elucidated in this book. Other consequences of Freud's 1920 paper-namely, the marginalization of ego instincts, the introduction of Freud's second dream theory, and the upgrading of aggression in the scheme of things-are also addressed. The editors have gathered a body of distinguished psychoanalysts from around the world to argue, discuss, elaborate upon, and advance Freud's groundbreaking contribution.
