Abstract:

This thesis argues for a unique relationship between African American literature and liminal space, predicated on the historical facts of North American slavery. While recent critics of African American literature have argued for the importance of historical and civic space in shaping racialised discourse, theÃ‚Â· role of liminal space has not been well examined. This thesis examines texts by three African American writers - Harriet Jacobs, Ralph Ellison and John Edgar Wideman - and one Canadian Caribbean author, Nalo Hopkinson, to argue that their literary representations of liminality perfor

Talbot, Debra Maree. "Tracing complexities of teacher professional learning to evidence of transformed practice." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/14616.

Abstract:

This inquiry examines the complex interactions involved in teachers’ professional learning experiences and the expression of such learning in transformed teaching practice. The study is temporally situated amid new education policies that bring with them expectations of transformed teaching, expressed through notions of ‘quality’ and ‘21st century learning’ (ACARA, 2012b; AITSL, 2012c). The centralised, managerial agenda, particularly as it relates to professional standards, creates a view of teacher learning as an activity undertaken by individualised teachers and heavily reliant on standards

Abstract:

Coming from a place that is so divided by geo-political conflict as Palestine/Israel, it is crucial to define one’s role as an architect. Choosing an ideology of practice in such circumstances is not a technical activity; rather, it becomes an ‘ethical’ approach as well as a political statement. Architecture cannot be dissociated from political power. However, whenever it becomes a technique of executing politics, it becomes a very dangerous tool, especially if the politics aims to fragment and control. Architecture in such circumstances can lose all its meaning of creating habitable spaces an

Abstract:

In this conceptual thesis I explore a paradox inherent in sustainability, namely that to 'sustain' something it needs to be allowed to emerge into something different than it currently is. Moreover, it is not always knowable in advance what that ‘something’ will be. I also argue that education is fundamentally about sustainability, as its role is to allow/encourage a human being to emerge into someone different than he/she currently is. I assert, however, that whilst this is education’s role, it currently, and paradoxically, works against itself by defining the human subject in advance (as a p

Abstract:

Broader social issues that affect students’ lives manifest in the classroom and the current neo-liberal reform structures in education (e.g., the accountability movement combined with punitive discipline measures and structural classism/racism) fail to acknowledge the impact of these issues on student identity within school and community. While this era of standardized testing has brought about anti-democratic realities in schools of all sorts, it is also the case that schools that pass tests often enjoy a more liberatory climate while schools struggling to meet testing requirements are more l

Abstract:

Within an. urban context, if multiple level thinking associated with landscape architectural design principles are applied to roof spaces, these can be activated for specific purposes. The space on top of roofs has the potential to be converted into areas for production, recreation , socializing and even for healing. Today, in the urban context it is difficult to find spare spaces that can be actively used by people; most public squares focus on improving the micro-economy, leaving almost no space for recreation. Also, within the urban context many buildings are designed in an "unfriendly mann

I conduct an historical ethnography (Vaughan, 2004) situated in the context of the U.S. specialty coffee segment. Building

Abstract:

My dissertation examines the difference between European and American forms of alienation. My thesis is that while European forms of alienation tend to arise out of an ideology (that of bourgeois culture) that disparages the material world, encouraging an attitude of resignation toward the established order, American forms of alienation tend to arise out of an ideology (that of the frontier) that disparages the social world, encouraging an attitude of rugged individualism which also results in an attitude of resignation toward the established order. Thus, both forms of alienation end up affi

Abstract:

This thesis is a textual analysis and discourse analysis that examines the social and programmatic construction of the videogame Minecraft by interrogating how code, design, and fan modifications limit and facilitate play in and outside the game. This thesis will argue that the constitution of gender--and subjectivity, more broadly--is reflected in the language, space, and bodies that shape the boundaries of the virtual world. What makes a player "cyborgian" when they embody a virtual avatar may have less to do the abstraction of agency into a computerized self and more to do with the way in w

The complex interactions between individuals, institutions and information and communications technologies (ICTs) have generated a growing body of research that seeks greater knowledge of the processes at work and their consequences.

Geography provides a useful standpoint from which to challenge these narratives owing to its enduring engagement with time and space, concepts im

This master essay starts with the author having an encounter with two 14-years old boys who claim that they are Nazis. In a school project where the pupils made films about norms in the society they made a film with a clearly racist and homophobic message. As a freelance artist the author was a part of a school development program in aesthetic learning, and the assignment in the actual school was supposed to teach the pupils about norms and how they effect people on an everyday basis. All the films fulfilled this purpose, but the actual film did something more: it revealed the zerotolerance ru

Cette recherche propose de mettre en valeur l’architecture contemporaine à travers l’étude de l’architecture des pays du Golfe. A travers une recherche et une enquête sur terrain, la problématique traitée va au-delà de la description des constructions pour aboutirà une interrogation sur la signification des nouvelles constructions qui rivalisent avec les merveilles du monde. Construction organique, conception futuriste et connexion de l’intérieur avec l’extérieur sont les paradigmes de la réflexion menée tout au long de ce travail. Une kyrielle de questions pose les jalons de cette réflexion.

Abstract:

Albert Cossery, known as the ‘story teller of Cairo’, weaves tales of the marginalized living in a city of the global South whose geographies have been impacted by colonial and neocolonial legacy. Cairo’s city and economic spaces have often been theorized as determined and dominated by the forces of neoliberalism, an approach that obscures the experience of residents who contest and evade these forces daily. For example, in “Les Couleurs de l’infamie”, the main character is a robin-hood archetype that revels in observing the resourcefulness of the city’s residents. ‘Alternative’ occupations an
