Carol Speekman Klass, "The Autonomous Child: Day Care and the Transmission of Values " English | ISBN: 103242561X | 2023 | 208 pages | PDF | 88 MB Originally published in 1986, this book's focal point is a field study which asks whether the social childrearing context of daycare transmits to young children values different from those within America's dominant value tradition of individualism. Daycare critics were concerned that this social childrearing within daycare would weaken the family and promote collectivist rather than individualistic values, and thereby threaten the social continuity of America's values. Through participant observation four daycare teachers' interactions as they emphasize children's individual learning experiences and children's social learning experiences are examined. By focusing on the actions and words of daycare teachers and their children in their daily activities over time, this field study provides a conceptual model for an initial understanding of the relationship of daycare to the continuity of America's values.
The Authoritative Historian: Tradition and Innovation in Ancient Historiography English | 2022 | ISBN: 1009159453 | 493 Pages | PDF | 3 MB In this volume an international group of scholars revisits the themes of John Marincola's ground-breaking Authority and Tradition in Ancient Historiography. The nineteen chapters offer a series of case studies that explore how ancient historians' approaches to their projects were informed both by the pull of tradition and by the ambition to innovate. The key themes explored are the relation of historiography to myth and poetry; the narrative authority exemplified by Herodotus, the 'father' of history; the use of 'fictional' literary devices in historiography; narratorial self-presentation; and self-conscious attempts to shape the historiographical tradition in new and bold ways. The volume presents a holistic vision of the development of Greco-Roman historiography and the historian's dynamic position within this practice.
