Time and the Rhythms of Emancipatory Education
Author: Michel Alhadeff-JonesPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317541286
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Time and the Rhythms of Emancipatory Education argues that by rethinking the way we relate to time, we can fundamentally rethink the way we conceive education. Beyond the contemporary rhetoric of acceleration, speed, urgency or slowness, this book provides an epistemological, historical and theoretical framework that will serve as a comprehensive resource for critical reflection on the relationship between the experience of time and emancipatory education. Drawing upon time and rhythm studies, complexity theories and educational research, Alhadeff-Jones reflects upon the temporal and rhythmic dimensions of education in order to (re)theorize and address current societal and educational challenges. The book is divided into three parts. The first begins by discussing the specificities inherent to the study of time in educational sciences. The second contextualizes the evolution of temporal constraints that determine the ways education is institutionalized, organized, and experienced. The third and final part questions the meanings of emancipatory education in a context of temporal alienation. This is the first book to provide a broad overview of European and North-American theories that inform both the ideas of time and rhythm in educational sciences, from school instruction, curriculum design and arts education, to vocational training, lifelong learning and educational policies. It will be of key interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of philosophy of education, sociology of education, history of education, psychology, curriculum and learning theory, and adult education.

Autoethnographies of Plurilingualism
Author: Enrica PiccardoPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040105521
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
This collection spotlights the authentic voices of plurilingual learners, bringing together autoethnographies of over twenty graduate students to deepen current understandings of lived experiences of plurilingualism. The volume begins with outlining foundational work on plurilingualism in language education up to this point, with the body of work on plurilingual subjectivities historically focusing on researchers’ and practitioners’ gazes, rather than students. The book moves into short autoethnographies of graduate students at the University of Toronto enrolled in a graduate education course over three years. Employing autoethnography as the primary methodology allows the space for privileging authentic voices of plurilingual learners in their own words, learners whose individual lived experiences are uniquely contextualized within the lens of plurilingual theory. The volume and diversity of perspectives showcased offer a unique window into the diversity and commonalities among plurilingual learners, offering opportunities for reflection on directions for future research. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in applied linguistics, language teaching and learning, and language education.
Le Sénégal sous Abdoulaye Wade
Author: Momar-Coumba DiopPublisher: KARTHALA Editions
ISBN: 2811109609
Category : Civil society
Languages : fr
Pages : 842
Book Description
"Ce volume fait suite à celui consacré aux institutions et politiques publiques pendant les deux mandats présidentiels d'Abdoulaye Wade publié précédemment par le même éditeur. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de la réflexion entreprise, depuis la fin des années 1980, sous la direction de Momar-Coumba Diop, pour documenter les trajectoires de l'État sénégalais et de ses relations avec la société. Cet ouvrage examine le rôle joué par Abdoulaye Wade à l'intérieur du "cycle senghorien" qui a dominé la vie du Sénégal depuis 1960. Il propose des outils d'analyse permettant de décrypter le projet hégémonique d'Abdoulaye Wade, en analysant aussi bien ses relations avec la confrérie mouride que les initiatives destinées à ramener la paix en Casamance. Dévoilant les logiques à l'oeuvre dans les syndicats, les partis politiques, les confréries religieuses, les mouvements citoyens, la presse, cet ouvrage collectif rend compte, sur la base de données inédites, des changements identifiés dans les systèmes de valeurs, les itinéraires et les protocoles d'enrichissement ou d'accumulation de pouvoir. Grâce à des approches novatrices, il aborde les recompositions qui s'expriment à travers la musique, les associations, les migrations internationales, la coopération sud-sud, les usages des TIC ou le football. Les livres consacrés au président Wade et à sa gouvernante sont également examinés avec attention et le rôle du griot dans le système de propagande officielle est analysé de manière originale. Ce volume aborde, ensuite, les réactions populaires aux défaillances ou aux dérives du pouvoir central, et les autres formes de résistance au régime du Sopi. Il insiste, enfin, sur le rôle des Assises nationales dans l'émergence et la consolidation du mouvement de contestation qui a mis un terme au régime d'Abdoulaye Wade. Cet ouvrage représente la première tentative d'envergure d'histoire économique, sociale et culturelle de la période considérée. Rédigé dans un style serein, il constitue, avec le précédent, un précieux outil de référence pour ceux qui s'intéressent, à des degrés divers, à la construction de l'avenir du Sénégal."--P.

Pages : 226
Book Description
In the postcolonial era, Arab societies have been ruled by a variety of authoritarian regimes. Focusing on his native Morocco, Abdellah Hammoudi explores the ideological and cultural foundations of this persistent authoritarianism. Building on the work of Foucault, Hammoudi argues that at the heart of Moroccan culture lies a paradigm of authority that juxtaposes absolute authority against absolute submission. Rooted in Islamic mysticism, this paradigm can be observed in the drama of mystic initiation, with its fundamental dialectic between Master and Disciple; in conflict with other cultural forms, and reelaborated in colonial and postcolonial circumstances, it informs all major aspects of Moroccan personal, political, and gender relations. Its influence is so pervasive and so firmly embedded that it ultimately legitimizes the authoritarian structure of power. Hammoudi contends that as long as the Master-Disciple dialectic remains the dominant paradigm of power relations, male authoritarianism will prevail as the dominant political form. "Connecting political domination to gift exchange, ritual initiation, social loyalty, and gender reversals, Master and Disciple is nothing less than a thoroughgoing revision of our understanding of authoritarian rule in Morocco and in the Arab world in general."—Clifford Geertz, Institute for Advanced Study

La souveraineté, telle que formulée à l'époque de la Renaissance, comporte quatre principes : autonomie du politique comme lieu de décision en dernier recours, hégémonie sur l'ensemble de vie sociale et économique, maîtrise du destin d'un peuple, légitimité démocratique liée à la souveraineté du peuple. Cet ouvrage aborde la crise actuelle de la souveraineté nationale sous ces quatres angles.
