Free Download Neopragmatism: Interventions in First-order Philosophy by Joshua Gert English | 2023 | ISBN: 0192894803 | 365 Pages | PDF/ePUB (True) | 9/1.3 MB  Free Download Ali Jalalian Daghigh, "Neoliberalization of English Language Policy in the Global South " English | ISBN: 3030923525 | 2022 | 232 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book investigates different ways in which neoliberal language and teaching policies have influenced the English language in global south countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America. Through the three main sub themes covered by the book, namely Neoliberalism and English Language Teaching Policies, Neoliberalism Ideology as in English Language Teaching Materials, and Experiences of Neoliberal Subjects, it investigates various aspects and means through which neoliberalism is realized in a variety of contexts.  Free Download Serhan Ünal, "Neoliberal Transformation of Electricity: International Political Economy of the Turkish Case" English | ISBN: 9819902819 | 2023 | 243 pages | PDF | 4 MB This book makes a structural analysis of the neoliberal restructuring in the global electricity industry. The book shows that the electricity liberalisation in different countries is just a reflection of the same structural trend in the global economy and avoids from both narrow country-specific and abstract global approaches by making a structural analysis completed by a case study. Thus, it aims reaching wider conclusions about how global changes in finance and ideology / knowledge structures influence domestic energy and economic policy preferences of developing countries. The book develops a taxonomy about organising principles around which the electricity industry has been structured historically and globally, and reveals drivers of change which influences the current energy transition in the electricity sector. Combining these aspects, the book uses financial and other economic data empirically, to shed light on the structural role of global transformation of the electricity markets on the domestic energy policy preferences of the developing countries. Thus, this work will be useful not only for academic purposes, but also for practitioners dealing with these issues.  Free Download Nella stanza dell'imperatore Italiano | 2024 | ASIN : B0CR1MDKQ8 | 151 Pages | EPUB | 1.1 MB Giovanni Zimisce, cresciuto con gli zii materni, i Foca, è diventato con il tempo un valoroso condottiero e combatte con coraggio per l'Impero bizantino accanto a Niceforo, il generale più brillante della sua epoca, e a Leone Foca. La guerra è tutto ciò che gli rimane: sua moglie è morta di parto e i parenti del padre, i Curcuas, lo considerano un traditore. Quando ormai sembra che Giovanni non abbia più altro scopo se non combattere al fianco dei Foca, tre streghe gli profetizzano che diventerà imperatore. Ma come è possibile, visto che sul trono ora siede Niceforo, il suo mentore, l'uomo che l'ha cresciuto e per cui darebbe la vita? Quando proprio Niceforo gli volterà le spalle e l'affascinante Teofano busserà alla sua porta, Zimisce dovrà decidere che cosa fare in futuro: restare fedele all'imperatore, assecondando i principi con cui è cresciuto, o prenderne il posto, accettando definitivamente il suo destino?  Free Download Joanna Dybiec-Gajer, Riitta Oittinen, Małgorzata Kodura, "Negotiating Translation and Transcreation of Children's Literature: From Alice to the Moomins" English | 2020 | pages: 236 | ISBN: 9811524351, 9811524327 | PDF | 5,5 mb This book offers fresh critical insights to the field of children's literature translation studies by applying the concept of transcreation, established in the creative industries of the globalized world, to bring to the fore the transformative, transgressional and creative aspects of rewriting for children and young audiences. This socially situated and culturally dependent practice involves ongoing complex negotiations between creativity and normativity, balancing text-related problems and genre conventions with readers' expectations, constraints imposed by established, canonical translations and ✅Publishers' demands. Focussing on the translator's strategies and decision-making process, the book investigates phenomena where transcreation is especially at play in children's literature, such as dual address, ambiguity, nonsense, humour, play on words and other creative language use; these also involve genre-specific requirements, for example, rhyme and rhythm in poetry. The book draws on a wide range of mostly Anglophone texts for children and their translations into languages of limited diffusion to demonstrate the numerous ways in which information, meaning and emotions are transferred to new linguistic and cultural contexts. While focussing mostly on interlingual transfer, the volume analyses a variety of translation types from established, canonical renditions by celebrity translators to non-professional translations and intralingual rewritings. It also examines iconotextual dynamics of text and image. The book employs a number of innovative methodologies, from cognitive linguistics and ethnolinguistics to semiotics and autoethnographic approaches, going beyond text analysis to include empirical research on children's reactions to translation strategies. Highlighting the complex dynamics at work in the process of transcreating for children, this volume is essential reading for students and researchers in translation studies, children's fiction and adaptation studies.  Free Download Rachael Shillitoe, "Negotiating Religion and Non-religion in Childhood: Experiences of Worship in School " English | ISBN: 3031398599 | 2023 | 269 pages | PDF | 5 MB This book explores how and if the mandate for children to worship in schools can be justified within the context of declining church attendance and increasing nonreligious identification in British society. Shillitoe asks what place compulsory worship has in an increasingly diverse and plural society, and what the answer means for the relationship between religion, the secular, and education more broadly. Through in-depth ethnographic fieldwork from across three schools in southwest England, the book reveals how examining the significance of children's experiences expands our understanding of both collective worship in schooling and religion in social life more broadly and demonstrates that adult-centric anxieties and assumptions in this area do not always reflect the experiences of children.  Free Download Anthony J. S. Nicholls, "Negotiating Masculinity and Identity as a Jewish British Male: Young Jews Talking" English | ISBN: 3031381068 | 2023 | 218 pages | PDF | 4 MB In this book, Dr. Anthony Nicholls uses a series of in-depth interviews to investigate how young Jews talk about their Jewishness, Britishness, and masculinity. From his analysis, he argues that Jewishness is constructed between adherence to halachic requirement on one hand, and Jewishness experienced as cultural affinity to history, family, and tradition without recourse to halacha on the other hand. He further argues that Britishness is experienced between varying degrees of nationalistic localism against cosmopolitan liberalism played out against a backdrop of Britain contrasted with the rest of the world, and also London against the rest of Britain. Nicholls rejects the view that masculinity is constructed in the inherently unstable terms of physicality against intellectualism. Instead, he argues that it is better considered as lying in a range between competitive hegemonic masculinity and a cooperative model with which physicality and intellectualism combine to produce a more stable and emotionally satisfying mode of living.  Free Download Pia Lane, "Negotiating Identities in Nordic Migrant Narratives: Crossing Borders and Telling Lives" English | ISBN: 3030891089 | 2022 | 250 pages | PDF | 6 MB This edited volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to the question of how identities are negotiated and a sense of belonging established in a world of increasing migration and diversity. Transcending field-specific approaches and differences in foci, the authors investigate how identity is constructed and mediated in face-to-face interactions (in real time and fictional writing), how writers use narratives to express their reorientation and their identity negotiation in a new homeland, and how material objects convey layered meaning to identity and belonging. This engagement with spoken, written and material mediation of identity resonates with recent sociolinguistic investigations on how language is connected to and intersects with embodiment, materiality and time. The volume will be of interest to students and scholars of globalisation and migration studies, sociolinguistics and narrative analysis, anthropology and cultural studies.  Free Download Negotiating Empire: The Cultural Politics of Schools in Puerto Rico, 1898-1952 By Solsiree del Moral 2013 | 242 Pages | ISBN: 0299289346 | PDF | 2 MB After the United States invaded Puerto Rico in 1898, the new unincorporated territory sought to define its future. Seeking to shape the next generation and generate popular support for colonial rule, U.S. officials looked to education as a key venue for promoting the benefits of Americanization. At the same time, public schools became a site where Puerto Rican teachers, parents, and students could formulate and advance their own projects for building citizenship. In Negotiating Empire, Solsiree del Moral demonstrates how these colonial intermediaries aimed for regeneration and progress through education. Rather than seeing U.S. empire in Puerto Rico during this period as a contest between two sharply polarized groups, del Moral views their interaction as a process of negotiation. Although educators and families rejected some tenets of Americanization, such as English-language instruction, they also redefined and appropriated others to their benefit to increase literacy and skills required for better occupations and social mobility. Pushing their citizenship-building vision through the schools, Puerto Ricans negotiated a different school project-one that was reformist yet radical, modern yet traditional, colonial yet nationalist.  Free Download Negotiating Boundaries of Southern Womanhood: Dealing with the Powers That Be By Janet L. Coryell, Thomas H. Appleton Jr., Anastatia Sims, Sandra Gioia Treadway (eds.) 2000 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 0826212956 | PDF | 2 MB In a time when most Americans never questioned the premise that women should be subordinate to men, and in a place where only white men enjoyed fully the rights and privileges of citizenship, many women learned how to negotiate societal boundaries and to claim a share of power for themselves in a male-dominated world. Covering the early nineteenth through the early twentieth centuries, Negotiating Boundaries of Southern Womanhood describes the ways southern women found to advance their development and independence and establish their own identities in the context of a society that restricted their opportunities and personal freedom. They confronted, cooperated with, and sometimes were co-opted by existing powers: the white and African American elite whose status was determined by wealth, family name, gender, race, skin color, or combinations thereof. Some women took action against established powers and, in so doing, strengthened their own communities; some bowed to the powers and went along to get along; some became the powers, using status to ensure their prosperity as well as their survival. All chose their actions based on the time and place in which they lived. In these thought-provoking essays, the authors illustrate the complex intersections of race, class, and gender as they examine the ways in which southern women dealt with "the powers that be" and, in some instances, became those powers. Elitism, status, and class were always filtered through a prism of race and gender in the South, and women of both races played an important role in maintaining as well as challenging the hierarchies that existed. |
