Inglese: P. Garnham, Pound finds new stability
No full textThis is a piece of a column of a Business English Course which Enrico Reggiani wrote and edited for the Italian economics newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore del Lunedì for more than twenty years (1986-2008). In this case, The Financial Times was its original English source. Between 1996 and 2008, Reggiani’s column became weekly and was organized in three sections: THE complete TRANSLATION of a specialized article on socio-political-economic subjects from The Financial Times; THE SPECIALIZED LEXICON: THE DICTIONARY, a commented glossary of the most important specialized terms recurring in the article; THE SPECIALIZED LEXICON: THE KEYWORDS, where fundamental specialized words and phrases from the same article are commented from various points of view: linguistic, literary, cultural, institutional, et al
Hans Keller: Britten: essays, letters and opera guides
No full textA selection of Hans Keller's writings on Benjamin Britten including previously unseen correspondence and reprints of long unavailable writings.
It was hearing an early performance of Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes that turned the young emigré writer and musician Hans Keller from psychology to music. Thereafter he became the composer's most fervent advocate, devoting to him a whole issue of Music Survey (the journal he edited with Donald Mitchell) and the first comprehensive book on his music (again edited with Mitchell). This volume is a selection of the best of his writings, dealing with Peter Grimes through to Death in Venice and the Third String Quartet. It also includes an illustrated study by A. M. Garnham of the extensive correspondence between Britten and Keller (most of it hitherto unknown), are print of the handbooks on The Rape of Lucretia and Albert Herring (long out-of-print), and items from the Hans Keller Archive in the University of Cambridge. The book is illustrated with drawings from life by Milein Cosman
Heutagogy and outdoor learning: Designing postgraduate studies that support self-determined learners
No full textIn this chapter, Colin Wood evaluates how outdoor learning can be recognised within the formal structures of postgraduate study. The chapter explores the relationship between heutagogy (self-directed learning) and outdoor learning. Through interviews with former students, it considers how the diversity and intensity of experiences in the outdoors can be incorporated into formal structures of study in ways that support self-determined learning. The evaluation draws on long experience of leading a distance-learning programme in outdoor education and identifies tensions between academic structures (and norms) and the expectations of learners. In response, the work presents ways that the design of postgraduate study can support learners to develop an advanced understanding of their field and the skills of critical reflection. The chapter argues that the concept of heutagogy provides a strong pedagogic rationale for postgraduate study in its recognition of the agency of the learner, and that the formal structures of postgraduate study can be used to scaffold and validate the learners’ explorations of the liminal spaces between personal experience in the outdoors and academic theory
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Research on the move: Walking as a research methodology and the importance of expeditioning
No full textItem is not available in this repository.This chapter examines the rationale and evidence base for expeditions overseas, through the lens of walking as a research method. Expeditions are both a physical endeavour and one where participants also travel in their minds as they plan, look forward to, and carry out the expedition. Through expeditioning, there is an educational value of challenging experiences beyond formal schooling that leads to an experience that is multi-dimensional. By analysing the rationale for student expeditions, it will be argued that by utilising a lived experience methodology, the benefits of doing so link directly to what it means to have a flourishing life. This chapter will seek to highlight that though outcomes from expeditions are highly individual, previous research has found that there is an increase in the development of social skills and by using walking as a research method, we are better able to understand the numerous ways in which this informal learning pathway may develop during such an educational experience, how it can benefit their university course, and ultimately, support them in their future career.https://www.routledge.com/Outdoor-Learning-in-Higher-Education-Educating-Beyond-the-Seminar-Room/Garnham-Oprandi/p/book/9781032567372pubpu
Language, Cognition, and Gender
No full textGender inequality is still an issue of high relevance in society. Previous research indicates that language contributes to gender inequality in various ways: Gender-related information is transmitted through formal and semantic features of language, such as the grammatical category of gender, gender-related connotations of role names (e.g., manager, secretary) or customs of denoting social groups with derogatory vs. neutral names. Both as a formal system and as a means of communication, language passively reflects culture-specific social conditions, but in active use can also be used to express and, potentially, perpetuate those conditions.
The research topics considered in the contributions to this proposed Frontiers Research Topic will include:
• how languages shape the cognitive representations of gender
• how features of languages correspond with gender equality in different societies
• how language contributes to social behaviour towards the sexes
• how gender equality can be promoted through strategies for gender-fair language use
These research topics will be explored both developmentally (across the life span from childhood to old age) and in adults, and will encompass work conducted across a wide range of languages, including some studies that include cross-linguistic comparisons.
The proposed contributors (almost all of whom have agreed to contribute a paper to the Research Topic) include both cognitive and social psychologists, and linguists, all of whom have an excellent research standing and all of whom have recently been conducting research on topics related to the general theme of the Research Topic. The contributions will also represent a wide range of methods: from surveys to electro-physiological studies. The contributions we have solicited will provide a wider range of complimentary studies, which will make a substantial contribution to understanding in this important area.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be in line with the scope of the specialty and field to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Manuscripts discovered during any stage of peer review to be outside of the scope may be transferred to a suitable section or field, or withdrawn from review
