High Resolution : Critical Theory and the Problem of Literacy
ISBN: 9780195055030 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. At the heart of this important new book is the tension between literacy and the open acknowledgement of discrepancies within social and linguistic fields on the one hand, and what Sussman terms the resolving function, the utopian picture of harmony depicted by the state and large organizations, on the other. After discussing some examples of the resolving function--Barthes's notion of the myth, Kundera's fictional treatment of kitsch, and contemporary television--Sussman draws on a line of theoretical inquiry extending from Saussure to Derrida in order to put forth a differential model of...

Literacy and Paideia in Ancient Greece
ISBN: 9780195059052 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book examines the progress of literacy in ancient Greece from its origins in the eighth century to the fourth century B.C.E., when the major cultural institutions of Athens became totally dependent on alphabetic literacy. By introducing new evidence and re-evaluating the older evidence, Robb demonstrates that early Greek literacy can be understood only in terms of the rich oral culture that immediately preceded it, one that was dominated by the oral performance of epical verse, or "Homer." Only gradually did literate practices supersede oral habits and the oral way of life, forging...

Dido's Daughters : Literacy, Gender, and Empire in Early Modern England and France
ISBN: 9780226243122 / Angielski / Miękka / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Winner of the 2004 Book Award from the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women and the 2003Roland H. Bainton Prize for Literature from the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference.
Our common definition of literacy is the ability to read and write in one language. But as Margaret Ferguson reveals in "Dido's Daughters," this description is inadequate, because it fails to help us understand heated conflicts over literacy during the emergence of print culture. The fifteenth through seventeenth centuries, she shows, were a contentious era of transition from Latin and other clerical modes...

Literacy Theory in the Age of the Internet
ISBN: 9780231113304 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. By now it is widely accepted wisdom that the Internet has vast potential as a learning tool for students of almost all ages and levels. But it is less clear how to harness this potential most effectively. What indeed should the "online classroom" mean to teachers? Will the rush to get "wired" mean little more than enhanced visuals or automated lecture delivery--or can it result in innovative pedagogies for improving literacy into the twenty-first century? In this collection of essays, some of the most progressive voices in literacy studies reconsider what it means to be literate in the...

Near the dawn of the twentieth century, more than a million Americans had subscriptions to popular magazines, and many who did not subscribe read the periodicals. Far more men and women were learning advanced literacy through reading these magazines than by attending college. Yet this form of popular literacy has been relatively ignored by scholars, who have focused mainly on academic institutions and formal educational experiences.

Signs of Writing
ISBN: 9780415100885 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. In Signs of Writing, Roy Harris re-examines basic questions about writing that have long been obscured by the traditional assumption that writing is merely a visual substitute for speech. By treating writing as an independent mode of communication, based on the use of spatial relations to connect events separated in time, the author shows how musical, mathematical and other forms of writing obey the same principles as verbal writing. These principles, he argues, apply to texts of all kinds: a sonnet, a symphonic score, a signature on a cheque and a supermarket label. Moreover, they apply...

In studying schooling as a social process, this book focuses on the links between literacy, gender and attainment, the role school plays in producing social difference and the changing pattern of interest in this topic both within the feminist community and beyond. Gemma Moss argues... Why are girls outperforming boys in literacy skills in the Western education system today? To date, there have been few attempts to answer this que... |
