Book Description
Dance, the most ancient of arts, has been an integral part of religious customs and rituals. It is important to the socialization process in civilization. Dance can made a significant contribution to the curriculum with human development and expression. The Visual and Performing Arts Framework (California State Board of Education, 1989) asserted that: The dance experience is an ideal instrument for developing and enriching bilingual and Multicultural programs because dance is a nonverbal medium. (p. 30) Participation in dances of other cultures enables the student to experience feelings, sensations, and ideas associated with those cultures. Students can sense the rich contributions of the multiethnic and Multicultural groups, past and present, that makes the American society. Saxe (1989) stated: I have pointed out that democracy in our nation serves a pluralistic society, but that this society needs a cultural currency to function efficiently. Harmon is found in diversity, not sameness. Likewise, democracy is a result of collective sharing among willing participants seeking substance and unity. (pp. 199-200) The very complexity and diversity within our American society coheres for the inclusion of multiculturalism in dance education curriculum. Many dances draw upon dances of other cultures. An appreciation of the similarities and distinctions of various cultures is gained through the study of folk dance. Dance reflects the personality and temperament of a people that gives dance its lasting appeal. Likewise, researchers inform us that the brain operates on an emotional bias system. Information that is perceived by the learner as helpful, interesting, rewarding (Hart, 1975; Sagan, 1977), and or gamey is eventually processed by the brain. In short, we learn what we want to learn. Cognitive functioning is determined by the emotional state of the learner (Galyean, 1981). Many dance movements can signify universal shared meanings. Viewed as a universal language, symbolized through dance, furthers the child's knowledge of the world and its diverse cultures. Exposure to dance helps children understand and appreciate their own culture and the cultures of others. Subsequently, dance constitutes a mean for helping students learn how to live in peace, harmony, and mutual respect in a complex, pluralistic society. The information presented in this book enriches and develops in students the knowledge and appreciation of our multicultural dance heritage. Likewise, students come to recognize dance as a universal language in world cultures. Dance is a nonverbal communicative skill which processes mainly from the appositional hemisphere of the brain. Logan (1984) concluded that "Dance experiences allow the child to view the aesthetic dimension of movement and heighten kinesthetic awareness and bodily intelligence" (p. 300). Likewise, Hawkins (1964) affirmed: "Dance as a work of art may be described as the expression of man's inner feelings transformed by imagination and given form through the medium of movement" (p. 4). Few efforts in educational systems have designed a comprehensive developmental sequence of dance education for all students before the university or college level. Schwartz (1991) stated that: Multicultural dance provides a means of understanding cultural differences and helps students understand and clarify their own value systems. Educators communicate values to students through their educational structures that, in dance, cross barriers of language, culture, and national

Celebrating Pluralism
Author: F. Graeme Chalmers
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892363932
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 109
Book Description
“Educational trends will change and research agendas will shift, but art teachers in public institutions will still need to educate all students for multicultural purposes,” argues Chalmers in this fifth volume in the Occasional Papers series. Chalmers describes how art education programs promote cross-cultural understanding, recognize racial and cultural diversity, enhance self-esteem in students’ cultural heritage, and address issues of ethnocentrism, stereotyping, discrimination, and racism. After providing the context for multicultural art education, Chalmers examines the implications for art education of the broad themes found in art across cultures. Using discipline-based art education as a framework, he suggests ways to design and implement a curriculum for multicultural art education that will help students find a place for art in their lives. Art educators will find Celebrating Pluralism invaluable in negotiating the approach to multicultural art education that makes the most sense to their students and their communities.

The WEIRDest People in the World
Author: Joseph Henrich
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374710457
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book of 2020 A Bloomberg Best Non-Fiction Book of 2020 A Behavioral Scientist Notable Book of 2020 A Human Behavior & Evolution Society Must-Read Popular Evolution Book of 2020 A bold, epic account of how the co-evolution of psychology and culture created the peculiar Western mind that has profoundly shaped the modern world. Perhaps you are WEIRD: raised in a society that is Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. If so, you’re rather psychologically peculiar. Unlike much of the world today, and most people who have ever lived, WEIRD people are highly individualistic, self-obsessed, control-oriented, nonconformist, and analytical. They focus on themselves—their attributes, accomplishments, and aspirations—over their relationships and social roles. How did WEIRD populations become so psychologically distinct? What role did these psychological differences play in the industrial revolution and the global expansion of Europe during the last few centuries? In The WEIRDest People in the World, Joseph Henrich draws on cutting-edge research in anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology to explore these questions and more. He illuminates the origins and evolution of family structures, marriage, and religion, and the profound impact these cultural transformations had on human psychology. Mapping these shifts through ancient history and late antiquity, Henrich reveals that the most fundamental institutions of kinship and marriage changed dramatically under pressure from the Roman Catholic Church. It was these changes that gave rise to the WEIRD psychology that would coevolve with impersonal markets, occupational specialization, and free competition—laying the foundation for the modern world. Provocative and engaging in both its broad scope and its surprising details, The WEIRDest People in the World explores how culture, institutions, and psychology shape one another, and explains what this means for both our most personal sense of who we are as individuals and also the large-scale social, political, and economic forces that drive human history. Includes black-and-white illustrations.

Good Economics for Hard Times
Author: Abhijit V. Banerjee
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1541762878
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
The winners of the Nobel Prize show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. Figuring out how to deal with today's critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel or perhaps even the next revolutionary medical breakthrough, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it. Immigration and inequality, globalization and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change--these are sources of great anxiety across the world, from New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC. The resources to address these challenges are there--what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we succeed, history will remember our era with gratitude; if we fail, the potential losses are incalculable. In this revolutionary book, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Latinx Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Edited by Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez and Norma Cantú. Rooted in Gloria Anzaldúa's experiences growing up near the U.S./Mexico border, BORDERLANDS/LA FRONTERA remaps our understanding of borders as psychic, social, and cultural terrains that we inhabit and that inhabit us all. Drawing heavily on archival research and a comprehensive literature review while contextualizing the book within her theories and writings before and after its 1987 publication, this critical edition elucidates Anzaldúa's complex composition process and its centrality in the development of her philosophy. It opens with two introductory studies; offers a corrected text, explanatory footnotes, translations, and four archival appendices; and closes with an updated bibliography of Anzaldúa's works, an extensive scholarly bibliography on Borderlands, a brief biography, and a short discussion of the Gloria E. Anzaldúa Papers. "Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez's meticulous archival work and Norma Elia Cantú's life experience and expertise converge to offer a stunning resource for Anzaldúa scholars; for writers, artists, and activists inspired by her work; and for everyone. Hereafter, no study of Borderlands will be complete without this beautiful, essential reference."--Paola Bacchetta
