Abstract:

Le lien entre Paris et la Turquie remonte à l’ouverture des relations diplomatiques entre les deux pays au 17e siècle. Depuis lors, la culture, la langue et la littérature françaises occupent une place importante au sein de l’intelligentsia turque, première victime de l’instabilité que connaît le pays depuis 1960. Paris a ainsi joué le rôle de fenêtre sur l’Occident, conduisant des générations d’écrivains à cultiver le mythe de la Ville Lumière, cité de l’amour, des révolutions et des libertés. Le débat sur la place de la Turquie en Europe justifiait une étude approfondie des images de Paris d

Abstract:

This project explores the dialectic between the identities which social essayist literacy traditions encourage and novice writers' view of such identities (Lillis, 2001) as novices transition to university education in a Malawian university. To do this, the study adopts the view of academic writing as social semiosis with identity implications (Ivanič, 1998). This position is predicated on the view that saying something is a performative act which hails a social being (Gee, 1996). Therefore, in asking novice writers to write in a certain way, the academy implicitly asks them to take on new di

It sheds light on the reasons for Unamuno's exile and on his understanding of his public role during exile itself. It shows how Unamuno saw himself at this time as the representative of certain essential Spanish values which he believed were being debased by the Dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, and how he came to feel in Paris that he had a mission to make those values known to his new European audience. A study of this mission helps to illuminate one

Abstract:

This project seeks to expand Asian American studies and Asian North American studies to the Caribbean/South America by examining works of SKY Lee, Maxine Hong Kingston and Jan Shinebourne. I argue that these writers represent Chinese diasporic experiences by reconstructing Chinese immigration history to the Americas. Although different racial constitutions and different cultural and historical specificities occasion the racializations of the Chinese in these regions, the colonial and neocolonial powers deploy similar mechanism for racializations and cultural politics that favors the dominant.

Abstract:

A reflexive analysis of five peer reviewed published papers reveals how socio-cultural and political discourses and individual agency compete to shape the identity of the learner-writer. It is posited that although hegemonic political discourses construct ‘schooling literacy’ (Meek 1988 ) which frame the socio-cultural contexts in which texts, authors, teachers and leaners develop; the socio-cultural standpoint of the individual makes possible conscious construction of counter discourses. Writer identity is integral to the compositional process. However, writer identity is mediated by, on the

Bakhtin’s concept of ‘ideological becoming’ is used to discuss protagonists who are variously exploited by, or exploiters of, the many ideologically charged voices that surround and assail them.

Since the 1975 publication of Newsweek’s article asserting that “Johnny” can’t write, many have continued to support the claim that students graduating from American high schools and universities can’t write.

Efforts to improve students’ writing have had little effect, as reflected in continually concerning scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Recently, researchers have begun to suggest that the problem should be addressed by working to change students’ identification as a bad writer.
