Rohingya Muslims in Malaysia: Finding (Imperfect) Heaven in Polymedia
No full textThe condition of Rohingya Muslims, who for decades have faced a humanitarian crisis, especially in their homeland of Rakhine State, Myanmar, has attracted international attention and sympathy. This article focuses on Rohingya Muslims living in a transit country, Malaysia. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Malaysia between 2015 and 2017, this article examines the efforts of Rohingya Muslims to reestablish familial bonds with relatives with whom they had lost touch as a result of a series of crises. The article analyses the role of polymedia in the life of Rohingya Muslims, particularly the impact of polymedia among youth and activists who centre their efforts on Rohingya Muslims. The article expands on the available work regarding the use of communication technologies in times of crisis by focusing on the ways in which young Rohingya Muslims use communication technologies to amplify their voices and establish a connected presence in their distributed and disrupted family lives. By claiming their place in a polymedia-rich environment, young Rohingya Muslims have found a “virtual heaven”—albeit an imperfect one—by embracing the freedom to use their voices through a wide variety of communication technologies. Living in their country of asylum, Malaysia, they can play a significant role as bridging agents who both raise awareness of the plight of Rohingya in Myanmar and work together with those living in resettlement countries to solve the complex problems arising from persecution, displacement, and statelessness

No full textQuels apprentissages peut-on lire dans les traités de peinture médiévaux ?
No full textLes traités techniques de peinture sont riches d’enseignement, que ce soit pour apprendre à fabriquer les couleurs que pour apprendre à dessiner. Nous avons essayé de dresser le portrait de l’apprenti, dans sa relation avec son maître. Et ce, que ce soit par le comportement du premier ou les dons du second. Quant au dessin, diverses techniques sont utilisées selon le stade d’apprentissage où en est l’élève. Des simples traits droits, en passant par la copie de maître, à la technique de l’encre au pinceau ou de traits à la plume, il faut dessiner tous les jours pour s’améliorer. The technical treatises on painting are rich in teaching, whether to learn to make colors or to learn how to draw. We tried to make the portrait of the apprentice, in his relationship with his master. And this, whether by the behavior of the first or the gifts of the second. As for drawing, various techniques are used according to the stage of learning where the pupil is. From simple straight lines, through the master copy, to the technique of ink brush or strokes to the pen, you have to draw every day to improve
Encounters with Reggio Emilia: Relationships, Equality, and Citizenship in Our Early Learning Setting
No full textIn this paper, we discuss what it has meant for us to be inspired by Reggio Emilia’s pedagogical approach within our licensed child care and laboratory school context in Ontario, Canada. We focus on three aspects of the Reggio Emilia approach—relationships, equality, and citizenship—which we believe are interpretable across many different contexts. We speak about the importance of these aspects and offer narratives of how we have been inspired to reconceptualize our own relationships, use of language, and concept of citizenship to construct new aspirations in the early learning field
Flight of Leaves: Creation of Worldly Space
No full textThis case study presents (1) children’s learning as continual engagement with phenomena and people, and (2) learners and the world as entangled becomings. In particular, the flight of leaves experiment shows the process of how thoughts were created through encounters and relations; how the children became-with drawings, experiments, each other, and material realities; and how the teacher and the researcher responded to and became entangled in a pedagogical relationship with children and material realities
