Abstract:

Most of the previous studies of the novel of Xenophon of Ephesus have pointed out its apparent lack of literary quality and consistency, coming to the conclusion that the version we have is an epitome. Conversely, my commentary offers a new interpretation of the "Ephesiaca" as a Bildungsroman, in which there is a progress from a physical conception of love to a more spiritual one, along with a systematic use of the two most important hypotexts of the genre: Homer's Odyssey and Plato's love dialogues. Le "Efesiache" di Senofonte Efesio sono da sempre state considerate dagli studiosi del mondo antico un testo privo di qualità letteraria e di una coerenza interna. Per questo motivo, dalla fine dell'Ottocento si è diffusa la teoria che il testo che abbiamo non sia l'originale, ma una tarda epitome dell'opera scritta da Senofonte. Il mio commento offre una nuova interpretazione dell'opera come un "Romanzo di formazione", in cui i protagonisti sono introdotti alla scoperta di Eros e delle sue dimensioni fisiche e soprattutto spirituali. Questa traiettoria viene costruita da Senofonte attraverso un costante e talvolta sorprendente uso dell'Odissea e dei dialoghi amore platonici: tale fatto conferma la letterarietà e l'originalità di questo testo.

Abstract:

I am inspired by the serendipitous connections to people, places, and things in the world around me. I approach art, much like my life, with an initial idea or plan, only to end up changing it. My pieces are records in the form of mixed media altered books that act as visual journals of my experiences. Phases of a 1st Year Teacher focuses on how I personally worked through these phases and attitudes my first year of teaching, and helped me to rediscover why I chose the teaching profession.

Norris, Sarah Jane. "The effects of shared book experience versus traditional instruction on reading achievement of transitional first-grade students." Virtual Press, 1985. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/454804.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different types of curricula in transitional first-grade classrooms on a composite of achievement measures at the end of a year of instruction. In particular, the effects of a shared book experience approach to instruction were compared to more traditional instructional strategies.The subjects in the study were 50 students from central Indiana who were enrolled in four intact transitional classrooms. Two classrooms used "traditional" (TR) instructional strategies, a third used the Success (SC) curriculum, and the fourth used the shared book experience (SBE) approach. The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R) and the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI) were administered to the subjects prior to the onset of the study. Four subtests of the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills (CTBS) were given to the subjects in late spring 1985.Multivariate analyses of covariance with a priori and computer determined weightings of the four CTBS subscales and the PPVT-R and VMI as covariates were conducted for three a priori contrasts. No significant differences between the two TR classrooms or between the TR and SC classrooms were obtained. There was also no significant difference between the SBE and the three other classes combined when the subscales were weighted equally. However, a significant difference was obtained on a dimension created to maximize the difference between these groups, F (4,41) = 2.62, p <.05.The groups were separated primarily on the basis of the vocabulary, oral comprehension, and language subscales of the CTBS with the SBE students scoring higher on oral comprehension and language subtests but lower on the vocabulary subtest than other students. Since the vocabulary scale loaded in the direction opposite to the other achievement measures, the dimension was difficult to explain. Although the results do not clearly support the SBE curriculum as superior in enhancing achievement in transitional students, this method of instruction promoted achievement at least as well as more traditional methods.

Bassi, Serena A. "Italy through the mirror of translation : place, culture and difference in the twenty-first century book market." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2012. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/57594/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis asks how stereotypical images of a foreign country are reinforced or contested through translation in the context of the contemporary consumer book market. Taking Italy and the British publishing market as its focus, it sets out to examine the translation process for one popular genre of Italian fiction and two Italian bestsellers published in Britain after 2000. Gomorra by Roberto Saviano (2006) and Cento colpi di spazzola prima di andare a dormire by Melissa P. (2003) and the so-called ‘new Italian crime fiction’, are three recent Italian publishing phenomena that have been selected for translation into English. Once translated and distributed in the British market, they attracted significant commercial and critical attention in the literary field. How important was the association with stereotypical images of Italy in determining the success of these texts in Britain, a market that is famously resistant to translation? How was the idea of Italy re-negotiated and re-imagined throughout the translation process? In order to provide an answer to the above questions, both the translation and the paratranslation of the Italian texts are investigated. The translation of new Italian crime fiction is examined with a focus on the Italian and the British history of the genre and on its paratranslation. The fascinating implications of the new branding of the author Roberto Saviano, which emerged in the British literary field when Gomorra was translated into English, are explored in the context of both translation and paratranslation. Finally, in analysing the translation of Cento colpi I have focused on the work of the translator, Lawrence Venuti, and particularly on the implicationsthat his ideology of translation has on the idea of Italy and on that of “cultural difference” as they emerge from the target text. This thesis adopts an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, in which theoretical understandings from Translation Studies, Italian Studies, studies of the contemporary book market and media culture are integrated. It uses translation as a method to look into the workings of the contemporary book market and, more generally, to shed light on contemporary representations of Italy that circulate in the large mass mediated textual space through the mirror of translation.

Rodriguez-Garcia, Esperanza. "Arrogance or audacity? : The music of Sebastain Raval (?-1604) with an edition of his first book of motets." Thesis, University of Manchester, 2010. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.516822.

Full text

Abstract:

The composer Sebastian Raval (?-1604) published seven music books between 1593 and 1600, featuring genres such as motets, madrigals, canzonettas, lamentations and ricercars. After some years in Urbino and Rome, he ended up his days as chapelmaster of the Royal Chapel in Palermo, being praised by his contemporaries. Nonetheless his output has received little attention in modem times. On the contrary, his participation in two musical contests (the first in Rome, in ca. 1592-95, with Giovanni Maria Nanino and Francesco Soriano; the second in Palermo, in 1600, with Achille Falcone) has become the main area of interest. He has been depicted as an arrogant individual, outrageously behaved in the contests with a manifest lack of capability as composer. This view has discouraged further examination of his music. Chapter 1 examines how this narrative started and evolved. It thoroughly reviews the events at the time and later on. The study reveals an overconfident personality when involved in contests, but also an overall positive view from most of his peers. Moreover it shows that the contests did not have any effect on Raval's reputation at the time. Interestingly, it proves that the accepted view in modem times was fabricated by Giuseppe Baini in his famous essay on Palestrina (Memorie storico-critiche della vita e delle opere di Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, 1828). Since then, it has been passed on and enhanced uncritically. Chapters 2 and 3 deal with the assessment of Raval's music in order to establish where it really stands. The research shows the composer's interest in experimentation, which results in an original and bold approach to composition. This interest plus his awareness of the most progressive tendencies of the time facilitated the transformation produced in hjs style, from a more traditional polyphonic writing in his beginnings to the concertato style adopted in his last book.

Abstract:

Recently, musicologists Linda Austern and Suzanne Cusick have examined the socio-cultural implications of gender issues in Renaissance music. Drawing on Cusick's research on gender-based binary oppositions in Italy and Austern's studies of women and music in England, I propose a related set of gender binary oppositions in English society. I apply these oppositions in detail to two specific works from the Elizabethan madrigal and lute song repertoire, then examine the remaining pieces from these collections as a whole and find that an overlap of four particular oppositions better captures the contradictory nature of the music. Examining pieces that fall into each category, I observe how the composer manipulates each to complicate the piece's gender character. I conclude that while binary oppositions grasp the artistic and political trends of an era, a closer look at the tensions at work between them provides a more nuanced view of the music's gender character.

Nieto, Ana María. "Parents’ Beliefs and Commitments Towards Formal Education and Participation in Book-Sharing Interactions Amongst Rural Mayan Parents of First Grade Children." Thesis, Harvard University, 2016. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:32663233.

Full text

Abstract:

As Western schooling continues to expand and reach remote communities, it is imperative to understand rural parents’ beliefs about formal education and the ways in which they can support their children’s schooling. Sociodemographic changes in rural communities have been connected to shifts in parents’ cultural values and practices (Greenfield, 2009), and parental participation in the institution of Western schooling has been identified as an important influence in these changes (Chavajay, 2006; LeVine et al, 2003; 2012, Rogoff & Chavajay, 2002; Rogoff et al., 1993). This dissertation contributes to this knowledge base by exploring both schooled and unschooled parents’ beliefs and commitments towards formal education and their participation in a book-sharing interaction in four rural Mayan communities. In the first study, I used grounded-theory methods to characterize and compare schooled and unschooled parents’ beliefs on the benefits of formal education for their children’s futures and the commitments that they make to support their children’s schooling, paying particular attention to interactions around written language. In the second study, I used cluster analysis to characterize Mayan parents’ book-sharing styles on the basis of the degree to which parents engaged their children as interlocutors in the interaction and of the type of content they emphasized, and to examine differences between schooled and unschooled parents’ book-sharing styles. Both studies were conducted with 30 parents from four Mayan communities in which Western schooling was introduced over the last decades but where there is still wide variation in parents’ schooling levels –making them ideal sites to study the influence of schooling on parental beliefs and practices. Taken together, the two studies provide evidence on cultural change and continuity, and identify parents’ participation in Western school as an important influence on parent-child interactions while also calling attention to the role of other parental experiences in shaping their beliefs and practices.

Abstract:

Children from a low socioeconomic status (SES) home environment are typically exposed to less vocabulary during the first few years of life and experience higher rates of poor school readiness, particularly in emergent literacy skills, when compared to middle-class peers (Bowey, 1995; Hart & Risley, 2003; Whitehurst, 1997). Early childhood education programs designed to expose this group to cognitively challenging utterances have found that low SES children tend to make greater gains in vocabulary development compared to middle-class peers (Justice, Meier, & Walpole, 2005).

Full text

Abstract:

In this thesis it is argued that, beneath the surface modernity of literacy education in Israel, lie age-old mechanisms that are being used to instil into young readers an unquestioning adherence to the voice of a single cultural text. Children in the modern Israeli State are the latest heirs of an ancient religio-cultural tradition. Throughout its 'longue duree', the Jewish community has sought its identity and striven for continued existence by dedication to ideals of literacy and to a single Text. A review of the whole course of Jewish history which focuses on the role of literacy reveals that this is the case. Close inspection of the approach of the contemporary Israeli State to the teaching of literacy in primary schools shows that these ancient imperatives are still present and active, albeit in transformed ways. The ideology of the Israeli State, embodied in its 'Discourse of Nation-Building' shapes and moves the centralised school-system and its pedagogy. The main themes of the 'discourse' - solidarity, cohesion and defence - lie beneath the apparently neutral surface of standard reading-scheme texts. During the first hours of learning to read in school, the Israeli child is also being invited to set out on the road to being a soldier. An ethnographic study of what actually takes place when literacy is being taught in Israeli first grades establishes that, for the young Israeli, the first encounter with school literacy is a moment in her personal and social life when she is initiated both into the ancient Text and into the modern national/political discourse. The whole process serves the requirements of citizenship, rather than those of becoming a genuine reader.

Full text

Abstract:

The book of Revelation is perhaps the least understood and most controversial text of the Christian Scriptures. Among the mainstream churches, Revelation has been put into the 'too-hard basket.' Among the more fundamentalist churches, it has been used to construct lurid timetables of the 'end-of-the-world.' The reading of Revelation through modern eyes has tended to sever the text's connections to its original first century audience. In particular, the modern understanding of heaven and earth, the modern conceptualization of time, and the modern demarcation between politics and religion produce interpretations of apocalyptic that are alien to the ideology and worldview of its original author and audience. In this thesis I interpret the book of Revelation as looking not to the end of world history, but as an unmasking of the world dominated by the Roman Empire. In other words, Revelation exposes the claims of empire as illusory, and envisions an alternative reality that claims to be revealed and authorized by God. While this understanding runs counter to the modern 'apocalyptic paradigm,' I believe it is in keeping with the 'total conception of reality' in antiquity.

Abstract:

This thesis is a cultural history of the publishing businesses that financed Shakespeare's First Folio. The thesis argues that by 1623 each of the four businesses that formed the Folio syndicate had developed an influential reputation in the book trade, and that these reputations were crucial to the cultural positioning of the Folio on publication. Taking its lead from a dynamic new field of study that has been called 'cultural bibliography', the thesis investigates the histories and publishing strategies of the business owned by the stationers William and Isaac Jaggard, who are usually thought of as the leading members of the Folio project, as well as those owned by William Aspley, John Smethwick, and Edward Blount. Through detailed analysis of the publishing strategies of each stationer, the thesis puts forward new theories about how these men influenced the reception of the Folio by transferring onto it their brands, and the expectations of their readerships. The business of each Folio stationer was like a stage with an audience assembled around it, waiting for the next production to emerge. This thesis identifies the publishing activities that attracted the audiences of the Jaggards, Blount, Smethwick, and Aspley, and ultimately suggests the Folio was granted significant legitimacy through the collaboration of these men. After an introductory chapter that locates the thesis in its scholarly field, the first chapter tells the history of syndicated book publishing in England, and reviews what we know of the pre-production process of the First Folio, taking a particular interest in how the publishing syndicate formed. The following chapters then form a series of case studies of the four publishing businesses, reviewing the apprenticeships and careers of each stationer before suggesting how those careers created a context of meaning for the Folio. These case studies focus on the authoritative reference publishing of the Jaggards, the religious publishing of William Aspley, the geographical location of John Smethwick's publishing business beside the Inns of Court, and the cultural achievements of Edward Blount. In conclusion the thesis explores the idea that it was the unique partnership of these businesses that consecrated the Folio as an emblem of literary taste.

Full text

Abstract:

Aujourd'hui on se demande souvent quel sera le sort des livres et des bibliothèques par rapport au développement des technologies numériques et au changement de la fonction urbaine et sociale des bibliothèques. Essayer d'envisager un scénario futur est très difficile, surtout si on pense que le livre et les bibliothèques sont à la fois très liées à différents instances de la société contemporaine, qui n'ont pas encore trouvé leur propre identité. D'autre part, la société contemporaine se trouve dans une phase de transition technologique qui risque, sans aucun doute, de produire des importants changements, pas seulement aux bibliothèques, mais surtout à notre mode de vie. C'est pour ces raisons que, à partir du titre, la recherche s'interroge sur le «devenir» de la Bibliothèque publique, sur son «destin», aujourd'hui pas encore écrit et souvent en désaccord avec les prévisions et les résultats des études récents, pour arriver à obtenir des nouvelles stratégies de conception pour les bâtiments du XXIe siècle. Dans ce cadre il faut s'interroger sur trois grandes questions liées aux bibliothèques du XXI siècle: la question du devenir du livre et de la lecture publique, autrement dit «question du support» ; la question de l'architecture des Bibliothèques publiques ; la question du rôle de la Bibliothèque Publique comme établissement culturel et urbain. Le dernier de ces trois points permet de comprendre les relations nouvelles, à la fois à la petite et à la grande échelle, entre les établissements publics et l'espace urbain. Ces relations sont maintenant liées aux nouvelles formes de mobilité des citoyens des banlieues aux centres villes. La bibliothèque publique devient alors le prisme à travers lequel pouvoir étudier les relations entre l'espace construit et ouvert de la ville. Les modifications dues à ces aspects, influenceront surement les bibliothèques et, dans une certaine mesure, seront capables de mettre en question l'utilité de ce établissement (comme on est habitué à l'imaginer aujourd'hui) et surtout de sa mission traditionnelle. La recherche essaie, donc, de donner une réponse forte et transversale à toutes ces questions en utilisant les instruments propres de l'Architecture Today we often try to understand what will happen to books and libraries in relation to the development of digital technologies and to the changing of urban and social function of libraries. Trying to suppose a plausible future scenario is very difficult, especially because books and libraries are both closely linked to various and different issues of contemporary society that have not yet found their own identity. In addition, the contemporary society is in a technological transition phase that risks, without doubts, to produce very important changes, not only in libraries world, but especially in our own lifestyle. For these reasons, just from the title, this thesis aims to investigate the “becoming” of the Public Library and his "destiny" that, today, is far from being written and disagrees with predictions and empirical data that result from different researches, in order to obtain new design strategies for the architectures of the twenty-first century. In this context it is necessary to examine three major issues related to the libraries: the question of the future of books and public reading, i.e. “support issue”; the question of the architecture of Public Libraries; the question of the role of Public Library as cultural institution and urban architecture. The last point permits to understand the new relationships, both at the small and the large scale, between public buildings and urban space. Those relationships are now linked to the new citizens' mobility between suburbs and city centres. The public library became the prism with which we can study the relationship between built and open spaces in the city. Changes due to these aspects certainly will affect Public Libraries and, to a certain extent, they will be able to modify the use of this institution (as we know it today) and especially its traditional mission. The research wants to give a strong and multidisciplinary answer to all these issues using the “own architectural tools”

Abstract:

Die vorliegende Studie basiert auf einem Editionsbericht, der 2009 im Rahmen der Konferenz »Alexander von Humboldt and the Hemisphere« an der Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN) vorgestellt wurde. Die für diese Publikation weiter entwickelte Untersuchung verdeutlicht die Textgenese von Humboldts Essai politique sur l’île de Cuba auf der Basis eines Textvergleichs zwischen allen drei "Originalquellen" des Texts. Der hier in seinen Ergebnissen vorgestellte Textvergleich ist Teil des Editionsprojektes »Humboldt in English« (HiE), bei dem sich ein US-deutsches Editorenteam seit 2007 zum Ziel gesetzt haben, kritische Neuübersetzungen von drei wichtigen Schriften aus Humboldts »Opus Americanum« anzufertigen (s.a. Fußnote). Der Textvergleich des Essai politique sur l’île de Cuba bildete die Textgrundlage für den ersten Band der HiE-Reihe, den 2011 bei Chicago University Press erschienenen The Political Essay on the Island of Cuba (hg. von Vera M. Kutzinski und Ottmar Ette). This study is based on an editorial report, which was presented at the 2009 working conference »Alexander von Humboldt and the Hemisphere« at Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN). It demonstrates the textual genesis of Humboldt’s writings on Cuba through examples, which were obtained from a detailed text comparison of the three existing »original« versions of Humboldt’s Essai politique sur l’île de Cuba. The collation was part of a larger strategy to regain philological ground for the »Humboldt in English« (HiE) project. Since 2007 and funded with grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation, and the Gerda Henkel Foundation, the US-German research team behind HiE has been working on new and unabridged translations and critical editions of three of Humboldt’s most significant texts from his American oeuvre.1 The following observations will outline the most important results of this collation effort as a complementary contribution to the recent release of the HiE project’s first volume, The Political Essay on the Island of Cuba (Chicago University Press 2011), edited by Vera M. Kutzinski and Ottmar Ette.

Abstract:

Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur tre lärare i årskurs 1 arbetar med läsmotivation. Vidare är syftet att undersöka om pojkar och flickor motiveras till läsning på samma sätt. Läsförmåga är en förutsättning för att kunna leva och verka i ett samhälle, eftersom läsning är centralt i människors liv. Det framgår dock av PIRLSresultat från 2016 att flickor presterar bättre än pojkar när det kommer till läsning. Jag vill därför undersöka hur lärare motiverar elever till läsning. Den här studien baseras på tre observationer och tre intervjuer med yrkesverksamma lärare. Observationerna dokumenteras i observationsscheman utifrån bestämda händelser, och intervjuerna spelas in och transkriberas. Resultatet visar att flickor och pojkar generellt inte motiveras till läslust på samma sätt. Det som motiverar elever till läsning är individuellt och beror inte på kön. Elever motiveras till läsning genom att lärare bland annat förklarar nyttan av att kunna läsa samt genom att eleverna själva får välja böcker.

Abstract:

This thesis analyses 21st century filmic, televisual and comic “Snow White” adaptations. The research is interdisciplinary, bringing together scholarship on gender, childhood, ageing, adaptation, media and fairy tales. The first half of the thesis contextualises the broader historical and sociocultural conversation “Snow White” tellings are immersed in by nature of their shared culture and history. It also identifies the tale’s core and traces the tale’s formation as a tale type from the seventeenth to the twenty–first century. The second half of this thesis moves to an analysis of two films (Mirror Mirror, 2012; Snow White and the Huntsman, 2012), a television series (Once Upon a Time, 2011–present) and a comic book series (Fables, 2002–2015). It considers the kinds of stories about female growth and ageing different media adaptations of “Snow White” enable, and contemplates how issues of time and temporality and growth and ageing play out in these four versions. In analysing the relationship between form and content, this thesis illustrates how a study of different media adaptations of “Snow White” can enrich fairy–tale scholarship and the fairy–tale canon. It also details the imaginative space different media adaptations of “Snow White” provide when engaging with dominant discourses around female growth and ageing in the West. Using “Snow White” as a case study, this thesis centrally facilitates a dialogue between ageing, childhood, fairy–tale and adaptation studies.

Abstract:

The screen, as recent studies in a number of fields indicate, is a cultural object due for critical reappraisal. Work on the theoretical status of screen objects tends to focus upon the materialisation of surface; in other words, it attempts to rethink the relationship between the supposedly 'superficial' facade and the 'functional' object itself. I suggest that this work, while usefully chipping away at the dichotomy between the 'superficial' and the 'functional', can lead us to a more radical conclusion when read in the context of subjectivity. By rethinking the relationship between the surface and the obverse face of the screen as the terms of a dialectic, we can ‘read’ the screen as the vital component in a process which constitutes the Subject. In order to demonstrate this, I analyse productions of subjectivity in literary texts of the twenty-first century — in doing so, I assume the novel as nonpareil arena of the dramatisation of subjectivity — and I propose a reading of the work of Jacques Lacan as hitherto unacknowledged theorist par excellence of the form and function of the screen. Lacan describes, with the function of desire and the formation of the screen of fantasy, the primary position this ‘screen-form' inhabits in the constitution of the Subject. Lacan’s work forms a critical juncture through which we must proceed if we are to properly read and understand the chosen texts: The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber; The Tain by China Miéville; Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood; and Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald. In each text, I analyse the particular materialisations of the screen and interrogate the constitution of the subject and the locus of desire. By analysing the vicissitudes of subjectivity in these texts, I make a claim for the study of the screen as constituting a central question in the field of contemporary literature.

Minervini, Henry Klyce. "First Movers in Marijuana: Tourism Boom or Bust?" Scholarship @ Claremont, 2019. https://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/2241.

Full text

Abstract:

In 2014, Colorado and Washington legalized the cultivation, sale, and consumption of recreational marijuana for anyone over the age of 21. In doing so, the two states presented the first opportunities for marijuana-specific tourism in the United States. Direct benefits of legalization to these first movers, namely tax revenues generated through the sale of marijuana, have been quantified, but the indirect benefits in the tourism sector are as of yet unquantified. Although there is a large body of informal literature and popular media on marijuana tourism, academic study of the subject is scant. Working with a panel composed of 47 of the contiguous United States over the years 2005-2016, this study utilizes a synthetic control methodology to construct hypothetical time series for various tourism indicators for the cases of non-legalization in Colorado and Washington. Comparison of these hypothetical time series to the actual time series reveals the effects of legalization. A similar methodology is applied to all states to find the “placebo effects” and to establish significance. In traveler expenditures, traveler-generated taxes, tourism industry employment, and tourism industry payroll, Washington shows effects of legalization of greater magnitude and significance than those in Colorado. Only 8% of other states show an effect on tourism revenues as large as that of Washington. Additionally this study finds that each state can be approximated with a weighted average of a small group of peers and that weather, price, and an interacted migration and political orientation variable have low predictive power on tourism indicators. Lastly, this study suggests possible causes and policy implications of the discrepancy between the states.

A multifaceted intellectual and one of the most significant educators of his generation to put in circulation, in the press and in the schools where he worked, a modern and republican pedagogy defined by an updated curriculum, practical, concrete and scientific teaching; an intuitive methodology through lessons of things; serial, graduated and simultaneous classes; extra-class activities ; popular and pedagogical lectures and by the analytical teaching of reading from a long time deserved a more detailed study that would consider him inside the frame pictures of the History of Education . To take him from forgetfulness, to study the educator, to focus the singularities of Joao Köpke as an intelectual of Education and at the same time, to examine his preoccupation and challenges , the polemics assumed by him and by his co-workers is what this research aims for. The investigation about his intellectual trajectory, the study of the schools where he worked, the analysis of his first reader books , of his lectures and of his reading books, destined to elementary and high school teaching, as well as the exam of the pieces of news published about his multiple activities in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro show that João Köpke was moved by a political and intellectual project well characteristical , an assurance of a unity of sense, present in his attitudes and in the writings that he developed for more than fifty years Este trabalho é um estudo historiográfico da trajetória intelectual e profissional de João Köpke (1852-1926), educador envolvido com a causa republicana, marcado pela inquietação criadora e renovadora, pela coerência de princípios e pelo pioneirismo na divulgação das modernas idéias e práticas pedagógicas. Intelectual de múltiplas faces e um dos mais significativos educadores de sua geração a pôr em circulação, na imprensa e nas escolas por onde passou, uma pedagogia moderna e republicana - definida por um currículo atualizado, ensino prático, concreto e científico; metodologia intuitiva, através de lições de coisas; aulas seriadas, graduadas e simultâneas; atividades extraclasse; conferências populares e pedagógicas e pelo ensino analítico da leitura -, há muito merecia um estudo mais detalhado que o considerasse dentro dos quadros da História da Educação. Retirar do esquecimento, estudar o educador, evidenciar a singularidade de João Köpke como intelectual da educação e, ao mesmo tempo, examinar as preocupações, os desafios, as polêmicas assumidas por ele e sua rede de relações é o que pretende esta pesquisa. A investigação a respeito de sua trajetória intelectual, o estudo dos estabelecimentos escolares onde trabalhou, a análise de suas cartilhas, de suas conferências e de seus livros de leitura, destinados ao ensino primário e secundário, bem como o exame das notícias dos jornais veiculadas a respeito de suas múltiplas atividades, em São Paulo e no Rio de Janeiro, mostram que João Köpke era movido por um projeto político-intelectual bastante característico, garantia de uma unidade de sentido presente em suas atitudes e nos escritos que desenvolveu por mais de cinqüenta anos

Abstract:

This thesis provides an account of the events of the first ten years of Printed Matter, Inc., a distribution center for artists’ books established in New York City in 1976. Included are descriptions of the individuals who formed Printed Matter’s first board, their objectives, books published by Printed Matter, and the windows installation program. This thesis also describes challenges the board members faced, including lack of organization, difficulty cultivating a broad public audience, and inadequate income. In addition, it recounts the gradual streamlining of business practices, and the realignment of goals and expectations for the genre as board members accepted the fact of a limited audience for artists’ books. The conclusion offers a brief summary and a look at Printed Matter, Inc.’s current operations.

Full text

Abstract:

Literary scholars agree that William Shakespeare used Samuel Daniel's First Four Books of the Civil Wars as a source for his play Richard II, launching an interaction between the authors that lasted for many years. What has not been recognized, however, is that they may have influenced each other's works on English history before the publication of Daniel's epic poem. Textual, bibliographical and biographical evidence suggests that Daniel borrowed from some of Shakespeare's earliest works, the Henry VI plays, while writing The First Four Books, and that Shakespeare could have used a pre-publication manuscript of The Civil Wars to write Richard II. A review of extant versions of The Civil Wars, the Henry VI plays and Richard II reveals a complex relationship between the authors as they wrote and revised works on the Wars of the Roses while both had connections to the Countess of Pembroke and the Earl of Essex. This analysis illuminates the works while disclosing one of the first instances of Shakespeare's plays inspiring another artist, challenging images of Daniel as a poet who disdained theater and Shakespeare as a playwright who cared only about the popularity of his works on stage.
