'Pilings of Thought Under Spoken': The Poetry of Susan Howe, 1974-1993.
No full textPhDThis thesis discusses the poetry published by contemporary American poet Susan
Howe over a period of almost two decades. The dissertation is chiefly concerned with
articulating the relationship between poetic form, history, and authority in this body
of' work. Howe's poetry dredges the past for the linguistic effects of patriarchy,
colonialism and war. My reading of the work is an exploration of the ways in which a
disjunctive poetics can address such historical trauma. The poems, rather than
attempting to reinstate voices lifted from what Howe has called "the dark side of
history", are a means of reflecting the resistance that the past offers to contemporary
investigation. It is the effacement, and not the recovery, of history's victims, that is
discernible in the contours of these highly opaque texts. Notions of authority are most
often addressed in the poetry through the figure of paternal absence, which has a
threefold function in the work, serving to represent social authority, an aporetic
conception of divinity and an autobiographical narrative. Alongside the antiauthoritarian
currents in the writing - critiques, for example, of the doctrine of
Manifest Destiny or of scapegoating versions of femininity - my thesis stresses Howe's
engagement with negative theology and with a strain of American Protestant
enthusiasm that has its roots in 17th century New England. The dissertation explores
the dissonance caused by the co-existence in the poetry of elements of political dissent
and religious mysticism. Finally, I consider Howe's engagement with literary history
and authors such as Shakespeare, Swift, Thoreau and Melville. The manner in which
Howe deploys the words of others in her work, I argue, allows for a mixture of textual
polyphony and a more conventional notion of authorial 'voice'

ABSTRACT
Susan Maulani (2021) The Development Of Social Cognitive-Based Literature Learning Model By Strengthening Self-Regulation To Improve Reading Ability And Reasoning Skills Of Elementary School Students. Primary Education Program.
This study aimed at developing a social cognitive-based literacy learning model by strengthening self-regulation in elementary schools to improve students' reading and reasoning abilities in elementary schools. This research was based on several research findings which showed that elementary school children's reading and reasoning abilities were still low. This research was development research (R&D) using the Dick and Carey approach with ten stages of development which include: (1) Identifying learning objectives. (2) Conducting learning analysis (3) Identifying and analyzing students' abilities (4) Formulating specific learning objectives. (5) Developing assessment (6) Developing learning strategies. (7) Developing and determining learning materials. (8) Designing and implementing formative evaluation (9) Revising learning activities (10) Designing and implementing summative evaluation. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, expert judgments, observations, and tests. Data were analyzed through descriptive qualitative and quantitative techniques. As a form of academic validation, the construct, content, and validity of the social cognitive-based literacy learning model by strengthening self-regulation have been assessed by competent experts and practitioners, and a series of field evaluations have been conducted. The acceptance test of the model/implementation of the social cognitive-based literacy learning model by the strengthening of self-regulation was carried out on a limited scale and wider scale using experimental designs with pre-test post-test control design. The limited scale acceptance test was carried out in a public elementary school in Bandung, while the wider scale involved two public elementary schools and one private elementary school in Bandung. The population of the study was the second-grade students of elementary schools in Bandung. The results of the implementation of the social cognitive-based literacy learning model by strengthening self-regulation in learning activities showed that this model was effective in improving students' reading and reasoning abilities in the recommended elementary schools, Elementary school teachers can apply social cognitive-based literacy learning models by strengthening self-regulation as an alternative for literacy learning.

Development and the G20
Full text linkThis publication examines what role the G20 can play in international development.
Key findings:
Development is a key component of the G20, but there are concerns over the effectiveness of the current development agenda.
The criticism includes that the development agenda is too diffuse and mostly distant to the G20’s main activities.
But the G20 development agenda has made progress in some important areas, including increasing the resources of the international financial institutions, infrastructure, food security, financial inclusion and reducing the cost of remittances.
However development and global economic issues cannot be treated in isolation; development must be ‘mainstreamed’ and clearly seen as part of the G20’s core agenda.
To the extent that Australia can help strengthen the G20 when it assumes the chair in 2014, and make tangible progress in such areas as - economic growth, financial regulation, trade, financial inclusion, infrastructure and climate change financing – it can make a significant contribution to promoting development and reducing poverty.
