The (im)possibilities of teaching-learning freedom
No full textTwenty-one years after a free and democratic South Africa was constituted, it seems as if South Africans are still in limbo. In this article, the author explores the essence of freedom as conceptualised by Arendt (1958, 1966, 1900, 2006) and the (im)possibilities of teaching-learning freedom towards continual new beginnings. Freedom and new beginnings are actualised when humans speak and act in equal difference. The possibilities of teaching-learning freedom rely on the acknowledgement of both the burden and the power of freedom and in unexpected acts of compassion and forgiveness in the teacher:child relationship (Becker 2013, 26). Using a phenomenological approach, the author explores qualitative data from the research project Human rights literacy: A quest for meaning (Roux 2012) to explore the (im)possibilities of teaching-learning freedom

XIV, fig. 22. Material. 3 specimens (2 V, 1 F). Diagnosis. Becker (1969, p. 259). Description. Medium-sized almost equivalve carapace, sub-oval and slender posteriorly in lateral view. Hmax at 2 / 5 anterior; Lmax slightly ventral; Wmax almost median. Highly arched dorsal margin, strongly oblique both anteriorly and posteriorly from Hmax. Convex ventral margin, becoming more arched at its extremities. Ventral and dorsal margins clearly converging anteriorly and posteriorly. Regularly convex anterior margin, forming an angle of about 140 ° with the dorsal margin. Regularly convex posterior margin, very highly arched, forming an angle of about 145 ° with the dorsal margin. Anterior part of the carapace slightly higher than the posterior one. Surface smooth. Longitudinal U-shaped ventral sulcus, extending from the antero-dorsal part to the postero-dorsal part, where it forms a stick towards the internal part of the valves. Two vertical short sulci below the dorsal margin, one median, the other slightly anterior. Carina along the free margins of the carapace. Discussion. Although rather badly preserved, our specimens exhibit all the features of the species, and particularly the connection between the ventral sulcus and the S 3, forming a reversed “U”. Occurrences. Emsian to Frasnian, Asturias; Givetian, Morocco; Middle Devonian, Ardenne, Eifel and Poland.Published as part of Maillet, Sebastien, Milhau, Bruno, Vreulx, Michel & Posada, Luis-Carlos Sánchez De, 2016, Givetian ostracods of the Candás Formation (Asturias, North-western Spain): taxonomy, stratigraphy, palaeoecology, relationship to global events and palaeogeographical implications, pp. 1-78 in Zootaxa 4068 (1) on pages 37-38, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4068.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/27064
