Teaching for Inquiry: Engaging the Learner Within
ISBN: 9781555707552 / Angielski / Miękka / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The American Association of School Librarians (AASL s) Standards for the 21st-Century Learner define inquiry as a stance toward learning in which the learner is engaged in asking questions and finding answers, not simply accumulating facts presented by someone else that have no relation to previous learning or new understanding. Inquiry follows a continuum of learning experiences, from simply discovering a new idea or an answer to a question to following a complete inquiry process. Inquiry is a crucial vantage point for teaching information literacy, but where can school librarians turn for...

Livres vus, livres lus: une traversée du roman illustré des Lumières
ISBN: 9780729409575 / Francuski / Miękka / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Livre à lire et livre à voir, le roman illustré des Lumières nous invite à un double exercice du regard, grâce auquel l’œuvre littéraire distille ses messages et accomplit son pouvoir de séduction sur un lecteur qui est aussi un spectateur. Fruit d’une recherche originale menée en archives sur plus de 2300 gravures, cet ouvrage porte sur la façon dont l’illustration romanesque a utilisé, d’une manière souvent paradoxale, le motif du livre et de la lecture pour réfléchir aux pouvoirs conjoints des textes et des gravures sur l’imagination du lecteur. Livres vus, livres...

Reading, Publishing and the Formation of Literary Taste in England, 1880-1914
ISBN: 9780754656685 / Angielski / Twarda / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Between 1880 and 1914, England saw the emergence of an unprecedented range of new literary forms from Modernism to the popular thriller. Not coincidentally, this period also marked the first overt references to an art/market divide through which books took on new significance as markers of taste and class. Though this division has received considerable attention relative to the narrative structures of the period's texts, little attention has been paid to the institutions and ideologies that largely determined a text's accessibility and circulated format and thus its mode of address to...

Literary Reading, Cognition and Emotion: An Exploration of the Oceanic Mind
ISBN: 9780415520683 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work seeks to chart what happens in the embodied minds of engaged readers when they read literature. Despite the recent stylistic, linguistic, and cognitive advances that have been made in text-processing methodology and practice, very little is known about this cultural-cognitive process and especially about the role that emotion plays. Burke's theoretical and empirical study focuses on three central issues: the role emotions play in a core cognitive event like literary text processing; the kinds of bottom-up and top-down inputs most prominently involved in the literary reading process;...
