Reducing Fragmentation in University Pre-Service Teacher Education: Conditions and Strategies
Get PDFWe report insights from a design research study in higher education that aims at overcoming pre-service teachers’ experiences of fragmentation in their educational programmes. The design approach started from the assumption that fragmentation could be reduced by initiating and conducting boundary crossing between practices in subject matter and subject matter didactics courses at university. Following this assumption, the design principle of boundary crossing by design(ing) for interlinking subject matter and subject matter didactics (domain-specific pedagogy) was implemented in two subjects in pre-service teacher education at university, one in mathematics and one in English language teaching. The linking between subject matter and subject matter didactics we strive for is two-fold: On the one hand, it requires curricular and organisational dovetailing of the courses involved (boundary crossing by design); on the other hand, it requires a study space where students are urged to try to interlink the courses’ contents in their thinking and acting (boundary crossing by designing). Following this design principle, a nested design approach is developed in which students’ designs of teaching practice is interlocked with the design of courses at university level. In this paper, we illustrate two kinds of findings by empirical examples: a conditional model for the intertwined realisation of the two types of linking, and interlinking strategies as heuristics for the pre-service teachers’ thinking and acting
Itiner(r)antes y subjetives: Historia de vida, identidad y migración transnacional en el Sur global. El senegalés Cheikh Gueye en Argentina
Get PDFFor this contribution I propose a journey of historiography, memory studies and literary criticism through relevant theoretical concepts that interrelate these disciplines and then explore their application in the context of life history studies in relation to transnational migration forced by economics and its effects as a collective conflict from the global South to the global South. In order to do so I use life history and oral history as historiographical methodologies: I conducted an interview with Cheikh Gueye, a Senegalese based in La Plata migrant who represents the large Senegalese community in the city of La Plata, Argentina. The interview is framed within the issue of transnational migration from Africa to Latin America carried out by generations of young men who are motivated by the economic consequences of the colonial past and globalization. Through his testimony, Gueye configures here his own life story. While drawing on knowledge from various disciplines, the aim of this work is not only reflective, but also seeks to develop a process to learn how to listen to others with the help of some links between theory and practice.En esta contribución propongo un recorrido por la historiografía, los estudios de la memoria y la crítica literaria y conceptos teóricos relevantes que interrelacionan estas disciplinas para, seguidamente, ensayar su aplicación en el contexto de los estudios de historia de vida en relación con la migración transnacional forzada por motivos económicos y sus efectos como conflicto colectivo del Sur al Sur global. Para su puesta en práctica recurro a la historia de vida y la historia oral como metodologías historiográficas: realizo una entrevista a Cheikh Gueye, senegalés-platense migrante representante de la extensa comunidad senegalesa en la ciudad de La Plata, Argentina. La entrevista se enmarca dentro de la problemática de la migración transnacional desde África a América Latina de generaciones de hombres jóvenes motivada por las consecuencias económicas del pasado colonial y la globalización. En ella, Gueye configura su historia de vida con su testimonio. Si bien recurro a conocimientos procedentes de diversas disciplinas, el objetivo de este trabajo no es solo reflexivo, sino que persigue desarrollar un proceso de aprendizaje de escucha con la ayuda de la creación de enlaces la teoría y la práctica

Jugando entre la ocultación y la presencia
Get PDFEste artículo se basa en la metodología de práctica artística como investigación, que parte de mi producción artística Where is Diana?, una serie de fotoperformances y vídeos realizados entre Beijing, Tijuana y Ciudad de México durante 2013-2015. Consciente de la obsesión por la identidad, con esta propuesta sugiero la hipótesis de si es posible trascender las fronteras físicas e intelectuales. En mi trabajo incluyo la dinámica del reconocimiento de manera paradójica, ya que me presento encapuchada, irreconocible, sin identidad, ubicándome en la frontera, en los márgenes, en el límite y en la precariedad, a través de un cuerpo que traspasa su lugar y transita de lo privado a lo público. Esta perspectiva teórico-práctica tiene en cuenta la perspectiva de género, así como las herramientas conceptuales que ha creado el feminismo para repensar el sujeto femenino y descentrarlo, mediante un desplazamiento hacia lo no hegemónico o predeterminado por la biología. Las características que se definen como masculinas y femeninas deben ser cuestionadas porque su significado es el resultado de una práctica histórica y social que las ha naturalizado artificialmente.
Con esto propongo ejes de resistencia para subvertir las identidades de género y nacionales, que defiendo son fluidas y modificables. Este salir fuera del centro conduciría a la construcción de nuevas subjetividades, creando un marco que amplíe las posibilidades de acción y reconocimiento. Para lograrlo, relaciono mi proceso artístico con la política a través de la reconstrucción de lo sensible en el espacio social, en la forma en que los cuerpos y sus significados actúan en ese espacio. La relación entre arte, política y representación que propongo aquí no tiene que ver con un nivel discursivo, sino que se centra en el gesto artístico y en cómo comunicar los afecto que se imprime en los cuerpos, que tienen una implicación sensorial y política
Fragility and Resilience: Church History and Myth in Nineteenth-Century Ethiopia
Get PDFThe growth of a myth of ancient origins pertaining to the church and monastery of Märṭulä Maryam and the exploration of its content and context form the central focus of this study. Material related to the church’s apparent ancient origin provides appropriate data through which to illustrate at once the themes of historical fragility and resilience. Märṭulä Maryam consolidated its mythical history by suppressing the memory of its actual founder, thus altering the tradition of the church itself. This study will demonstrate that efforts to completely erase the memory of Märṭulä Maryam’s founder and its original history were wholly in vain. Such acts of suppression inevitably leave indelible traces of the true past, not to mention the fact that its actual history is well secured within the records of other Ethiopian churches, as well as in those of Märṭulä Maryam itself
The Great Aksumite Decorated Stelae: Architectural Characteristics, Functions, and Meanings
Get PDFThe article presents a review of the architectural and iconographic features of the big decorated Aksumite stelae in the May Ḥǝǧǧa stelae field at Aksum. Their location in the urban setting of ancient Aksum is scrutinized alongside their ceremonial and ideological function. The origin and meaning of the different features and decorative patterns characterizing the stelae are focused upon. It is suggested that these attributes may reflect ideological traits regarded as crucial by the Askumite kings and the elite in the first centuries CE. Moreover, it is demonstrated how some of these features are rooted in the local traditions, while others are related to the intense interactions the ancient Aksum had with neighbouring regions, such as the Mediterranean area and South Arabia. In particular, a new interpretation is proposed for the very distinctive outline of the top of the monuments: it may have been shaped after a specific type of shield also occurring in Meroitic and Post-Meroitic Nubia. Finally, it is suggested that the role these monuments may have played in ceremonies aimed at shaping the Aksumite identity
