    PEAT TURF, SEAWEED, AND THE ‘POOL OF HELP’ ECONOMY: TRACING THE SOCIAL LIVES OF NATURAL RESOURCES ON LETTERMORE ISLAND, GALWAY

    Get PDF
    Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork on the island of Lettermore, this paper catalogues a historical network of resource exchange between island, coastal, and mainland communities on the southwestern coast of Galway, and discusses the social construction of group identities and communitas in this region. Under conditions of material scarcity, people on Lettermore perform a ‘transmutation’ of the material into the social. The example of peat turf shows how, through customary processes of labour, exchange, and use, natural resources are subsumed into a pool-like economy of social support for members of the island community and outsiders on the island to draw upon as need arises

    CLOSE-KNIT: EXPLORING HOW KNITTING HAS SHAPED THE HISTORICAL AND ENDURING RELATIONSHIPS OF THE SHETLAND ARCHIPELAGO

    By considering the archipelago as a dynamic form, this study examineshistorical and contemporary examples of island-to-island ways of being, knowing anddoing. Shetland hand knitting offers a contextual backdrop to explore the shaping ofhistorical and enduring relationships between the Shetland Islands. In positioningthe Shetland Islands as mutually constituted and interrelated, the study offers anexamination of the Shetland archipelago in its own right, rather than as told inrelation to the metropolitan centres of Great Britain. Such a perspective affords amore nuanced understanding of some of the smaller islands that constitute theBritish Isles

    ISLANDNESS, NATIONS AND ‘PEERIE PLACES’: SHETLAND AND IRELAND AS ARCHIPELAGIC NEIGHBOURS

    Get PDF
     This article considers Shetland and Ireland with their different relationships to nationhood, in terms of ‘islandness’ and as archipelagic neighbours. The islands relate through shared labour networks and migratory routes: in the 20th century, coastal workers post-\u27herring boom\u27 and Irish labourers during Shetland\u27s \u27oil boom\u27 intersected. In 1981, amid Ireland\u27s divided status and Shetland\u27s rapid change, an IRA bombing attempt targeted the Sullom Voe oil terminal, symbolising a collision of historical events. \u27Islandness\u27 as discussed in this article, challenges the idea of nationality as natural or simple, and offers a new perspective on mobility and interrelationship between Britain and Ireland

    Le corps à la croisée des LVE et de l’EPS

    Cet article explore les zones de contact entre l’enseignement des langues étrangères (LVE) et l’Éducation Physique et Sportive (EPS). À partir d’un examen des notions de « corps sensible », de « corps apprenant », de « corporéité » et « d\u27intercorporéité » qui sont constitutives des expériences d’apprentissages vécues en EPS, nous analysons la manière dont l\u27EPS peut favoriser l\u27intercorporéité chez les élèves, en suscitant des expériences sensori-motrices et en intégrant le corps à la relation intersubjective. Nous terminons par l’évocation d’une expérience de collaboration entre EPS et enseignement des LVE, à partir d’œuvres picturales de la peintre et poétesse mexicaine Frida Kahlo, qu’une classe d’élèves de 4e est invitée à interpréter par-corps dans le cadre d’un projet pédagogique.This article explores the connections between language teaching and physical education (PE). First, we consider such notions as the “sensing body”, “the learning body”, “embodiment” and intercorporeality (physical interconnectedness), all of which are integral to the learning experience in PE. We then discuss ways in which PE can foster a strong sense of physical interconnectedness through sensory-motor experience, and an awareness of the bodily dimension of interpersonal relations. We close with a case study of collaborative work between a PE instructor and a language teacher who invite year 9 pupils to engage physically with works by the Mexican painter and poet Frida Kahlo

    talking-dancing-howling-walking-whispering-spiraling…: Learning English while performing a dance score from the 1970s

    “Moving Words in Space” is an artistic and teaching practice based on a dialogue between dance improvisation and language learning. I have been developing this teaching approach with adults for the last twenty-five years, but I have also used it with children to teach English under the name “Jump’n Turn”. In this contribution, I retrace the developmental stages of “Moving Words in Space”, before describing how I use performance scores to introduce children to the English language through “Jump\u27n Turn”. To illustrate this process, I use “Scramble” (1970), an exercise and performance score originally created by the American dancer and choreographer Simone Forti. The tasks are extremely simple yet have a strong pedagogical potential. I explain how I guide young children through the activities so they can experience language fully through movement while performing a score that was created during the development of postmodern dance in the United States.“Moving words in space” est une pratique pédagogique et artistique à la croisée de l’improvisation en danse et de l’apprentissage des langues. Il s’agit d’une approche pédagogique que j’ai développée pendant plus de vingt-cinq ans avec des adultes mais que je propose également aux enfants, et que je nomme alors “Jump’n Turn” lorsqu’il s’agit de l’initiation à l’anglais. Pour la présente contribution, j’aborde le processus d’élaboration de “Moving words in space”. Je décris ensuite la manière dont je pratique des partitions chorégraphiques avec des enfants tout en les initiant à la langue anglaise dans les ateliers “Jump’n Turn”. Je prends l’exemple de Scramble (1970), qui est un exercice et une partition chorégraphique de la danseuse et chorégraphe américaine Simone Forti. Il s’agit d’une série de tâches simples détentrices d’un fort potentiel pédagogique. J’explique comment je transmets cette partition à de jeunes enfants, afin de leur faire vivre une réelle expérience de la langue, au travers de l’action et de leur corps en mouvement. Dans un même temps, ils interprètent une partition créée lors du développement de la danse post-moderne, aux Etats-Unis

    Le tandem dans un atelier de théâtre au service d’une meilleure prononciation et d’une acceptation de soi en LVE

    Cet article décrit la mise en place d’un tutorat entre pairs au sein d’un atelier de théâtre communautaire, dans le cadre d\u27un projet de recherche-création soutenu par la DRAC de la région des Pays de la Loire. Le programme associe de jeunes participants francophones à des apprenants allophones. Les tuteurs francophones soutiennent leurs pairs dans l\u27apprentissage du français langue seconde (FLS) par le biais d\u27exercices théâtraux. Dans cet article nous nous focalisons sur l’un des binômes qui travaille à l\u27amélioration de la prononciation et de l\u27intelligibilité d\u27une élève ukrainienne. L\u27analyse multimodale de leurs interactions montre que l\u27atelier va au-delà des objectifs linguistiques. Il devient un espace relationnel et affectif, faisant écho à la vision du théâtre de Grotowski (1971) comme une « naissance partagée » et l\u27« acceptation complète d\u27un être humain par un autre ». Ancrée dans le paradigme énactif (Varela, 1999), cette recherche envisage le théâtre non seulement comme un outil d\u27acquisition de la langue, mais aussi comme une « expérience conjointe » (Aden, 2013) qui incarne un « savoir-faire éthique » (Varela, 1992). Nous faisons l\u27hypothèse que l\u27écologie relationnelle créée dans un tel contexte théâtral favorise l\u27apprentissage de la prononciation en amont des approches phonétiques correctives (Nocaudie, Alazard-Guiu, Billières, 2019), améliorant in fine les capacités communicatives des jeunes apprenants allophones.This article presents a peer tutoring initiative developed within a community theatre workshop; part of a practice-based research project supported by the DRAC of the Pays de la Loire region. The program pairs young French-speaking participants with allophone learners. The francophone tutors support their peers in learning French as a second language (FSL) through theatrical exercises. The study focuses on one specific pair working on improving the pronunciation and intelligibility of a Ukrainian-speaking student. Multimodal analysis of their interactions shows that the workshop goes beyond linguistic goals. It becomes a relational and affective space, echoing Grotowski’s (1971) vision of theatre as a “shared birth” and the “complete acceptance of one human being by another.” Anchored in the enactive paradigm (Varela, 1999), this research sees theatre not just as a tool for language acquisition, but as a “joint experience” (Aden, 2013) that embodies an “ethical know-how” (Varela, 1992). We hypothesize that the relational ecology created in such a theatrical context supports the learning of pronunciation prior to more technical corrective phonetics approaches (Nocaudie, Alazard-Guiu, Billières, 2019), ultimately enhancing the communicative abilities of young allophone learners
