Stephen Crane and the mass media
No full textThe influence of European painting and literature in Stephen Crane’s pre-Red Badge of Courage work has been overstated by most twentieth century critics. Stephen Crane’s portrayals of New York poverty in the 1890s was profoundly shaped by the more immediate influence of the American mass media, specifically by religious anti-slum tracts, the documentary photographs of Jacob Riis and Alfred Stieglitz, the “new” journalism that blurred the distinction between the newspaper and the novel, and color print advertising. Maggie: a Girl from the Streets and his freelance newspaper articles written between 1892 and 1894 provide ample evidence of Crane’s participation in the sensational mass media, which often transformed urban poverty into middle-class entertainment.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Adam Broc
Radical Medievalism:Pierce Egan the Younger's Robin Hood, Wat Tyler, and Adam Bell
No full textPierce Egan the Younger has always been assumed to have been a conservative author. Yet recent research by Chris R. Vanden Bossche has highlighted his support for Chartism. This article develops Vanden Bossche's radical reading of Egan's "Wat Tyler" and applies it to two of his other medievalist novels, "Robin Hood" and "Adam Bell"

If I Knew Then What I Do Now: Fostering Pre-Service Teachers’ Capacity to Promote Expansive and Critical Conversations with Children’s Literature
No full textIn this article, I reflect on my practices as a teacher educator and respond to the following questions: How do I foster the capacity of pre-service teachers to use children’s literature to promote expansive and critical conversations in the classroom? How do pre-service teachers report their stances and sense of preparedness when reflecting on the course? To address these questions, I share two strategies I employed in my undergraduate course for elementary education majors: 1) emphasizing children\u27s literature as windows and mirrors and 2) considering stakeholder responses. For each strategy, I include preservice teachers’ (PTs’) statements that reflect how the strategy impacted their stances about children’s literature and preparedness to use it in the classroom to foster expansive and critical conversations that are relevant and responsive to students’ diverse lives
Book review: Stephen Tanner, “The Wars of the Bushes. A Father and Son as Military Leaders”, Wydawnictwo Dolnośląskie, Wrocław 2007, pp. 280
No full textThe discussed book by Stephen Tanner is not the author’s debut. He has been analyzing various issues of military history for a long time. He is the author of works on the great retreats of armies during various periods of history, the fortunes of American airmen operating in Switzerland during World War II and the history of Afghanistan. Tanner’s book can be considered as the author’s personal opinion on the military policy of the United States a! er the Cold War
Rethinking the Debates on the Theological Implications of the Biological Theory of Human Evolution on the Creation of Adam
No full textThe subject of the creation of Adam raises a seeming contention between Christian evolutionists and Christian antievolutionists, and this is evident in many ways including in the Scopes Trial of 1925 in Tennessee, USA. This discussion is important because it contributes to bringing all Christians together to a meeting point despite their diverse views on the subject. It also dismisses the notion that science is in conflict with the Christian faith. Using literary research methods to explore this subject, the researcher took into cognisance both scientific and theological approaches to the evolutionary origin of humans and to the creation account of Adam. The research finding shows that many researchers who have interest in the subject have not reached a conclusion on whether the Bible is in fierce or mild contestation with the views that Adam was created or evolved. The writer of this paper proposes that the author of Genesis had an intention when writing the creation story. He recommends that the original intention of the author should be taken into cognisance when reading about the creation of Adam.
Hacia la construcción semiótica del mundo. Las consideraciones de Adam Smith sobre el lenguaje
No full textThis article explores the aportation of Adam Smith’s Considerations Concerning the First Formation of Languages to the rest of his work. It starts analyzing its internal structure in the light of its documented sources, of which it follows a linguistic model that is more constructive than referential. From the initial approach that language, first of all, communicates needs, the author connects this germ of the process of socialization with Smith’s published works, explaining them as a semiotic development of the fundamental idea that the human being has not a definite Nature, but an open history in which he must make to himself.El presente artículo explora la aportación de Considerations Concerning the First Formation of Languages, de Adam Smith, al resto de su obra. Comienza analizando su estructura interna a la luz de sus fuentes documentadas, de la que se sigue un modelo lingüístico más constructivo que referencial. A partir del planteamiento inicial de que el lenguaje, ante todo, comunica necesidades, el autor conecta este germen del proceso de socialización con las obras publicadas de Smith, explicándolas como un desarrollo semiótico de la idea fundamental de que el ser humano no tiene una naturaleza definida, sino una historia abierta en la que tiene que hacerse a sí mismo
