The role of educative thought in the life and work of Antonio Gramsci
No full textMany philosophers have propounded a vision of an improved society, what distinguishes Antonio Gramsci is his continuous effort to make it happen by understanding the process in order to put into practice. Gramsci's conviction about the importance of educative development came from both theory and experience. While there has been considerable examination of Gramsci's work in relation to the Prison Notebooks, this study will seek to address a lacuna in Gramsci scholarship. Using Gramsci's philological method, I analyse Gramsci's pre-prison activity; his pre-prison articles and letters, which, together with his letters from prison, formed part of his educative mission. This educative process was necessary, in order to construct a new party which would develop a collective will, collaboratively, with the masses.In this study therefore, I explore the contexts and formative experiences of the first part of his life together with the intellectual sources from which Gramsci developed his later theories, making central hitherto underemphasised connections between them which informed his writing and ideas. I intend to illustrate that Gramsci's underlying purpose in his writing, and political activity, was not only practical, on how to create a new socialist ruling class, but also educative in forming the mindset and values of his comrades. So that in addition to outlining his vision of a new order, he implicitly guided or explicitly explained the processes by which the necessary changes in social relations and moral climate could be made in order to achieve it. Each person had to engage with the values of the new order so that each could contribute to the construction of a new robust state. It was essential to build a hegemony at the most profound level, one which was dependent on collective understandings and a collective will

Opportunities and costs of portfolio diversification in sadc's smallest equity markets
No full textThis paper contrasts the performance of three time series models, a simple stochastic drift, GARCH, and a time varying parameter CAPM for three of SADC's smallest equity markets: Namibia, Swaziland and Mozambique. Analysis of the portfolio characteristics for each reveals the level of integration with South Africa using optimised portfolio frontiers. In addition, the implications of adopting a minimum investment retention levy by the smaller states is examined. Namibia is found to exhibit the greatest degree of integration with South Africa, followed to a much lesser extent by Swaziland with Mozambique. The evidence suggests that investors in the smaller markets would face considerable additional costs should such a policy be adopted. © 2008 The Author.

Factors that determine use and contribute to drug abuse among adolescents, 1990
No full textThe overall objective of this study was to present the factors that determine use and contribute to drug abuse among adolescents. To attain this objective, the factors relating to drug use and abuse among adolescents were the following: (a) Peer influence; (b) Delinquency; (c) Poor commitment to education and attachment to school; (d) Poor and inconsistent family management; and (e) Parental drug use. A cross-sectional research design and a non-probability convenience sample was used in the study. A self administered questionnaire was given to adolescents from Shiloh Baptist Church and Morrow high school, located in Clayton County. The population consisted of 80 adolescents, 59 males and 21 females, ranging in the ages from 13-18. The null hypothesis was accepted. The study was an attempt to provide a clear understanding of adolescent's attitudes, beliefs and knowledge about drugs, in relationship to understanding some of the factors that determine use and contribute to drug abuse among adolescents

No full text“Puis que ainsi est.” the material and rhetorical effects of book production on French renaissance tales
No full textCollections of nouvelles were very popular in the sixteenth century, despite their status as an “unworthy” genre. Numerous editions of some of the most popular collections were printed quickly. This study aims to determine the extent to which practices in the French book industry affected the rhetorical status and value of texts printed then; it focuses on Bonaventure Des Périers’ Nouvelles Récréations et Joyeux Devis (1558), Noël Du Fail’s Propos rustiques (1548) and Baliverneries d’Eutrapel (1549), and Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron (1558). Two of the works were published posthumously, but the public response to different editions of each author’s collection ranged from acceptance to disdain. Noël Du Fail was alive when his two collections were initially printed, and was involved in a second edition of each, but counterfeit, interpolated editions actually became dominant. The first Part of this study is an examination of practices in the book industry, and the involvement of several of the booksellers, to determine the material nature and the most likely reasons for the presence of variant editions. Questions of authenticity play an important role in the justification for printing new editions and their reception. In Part II, the focus shifts on differences between the editions themselves. We see how variants and interpolations change the rhetorical substance of a work with respect to both inventio and dispositio. The proposed “contracts” with the reader found in the beginning of the Nouvelles Récréations and the Propos rustiques and the Baliverneries d’Eutrapel are fulfilled in different ways in the alternate editions, whereas the extraordinary differences between the first two printed editions of the Heptaméron allow for a different form of comparison. Ultimately, the industry possesses the power and the incentive to alter the structure and meaning of collections of tales; while the product that contemporary readers might have known and liked best may not have been the text intended by the author, it is important to recognize that these “faulty” versions have a logic of their own and, as such, have a lot to tell us about the history and poetics of the genre.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Jenifer Branton-Desri
iText, but iDon’t Teach With It: An Essay on i-Literacy in Teacher Education
No full textIn this article, the author explores her observations of preservice teachers’ technological literacy as it is often enacted across iterations of a writing methods course. Using personal examples and classroom anecdotes, the author argues that the construct of digital native is flawed and, instead, the author positions preservice teachers as instructional-technology learners rather than instructional-technology experts (i.e., natives). Within the context of teacher education, the author calls for explicit instruction in multimedia literacy and technology-mediated teaching with the goal that preservice teachers develop insider knowledge of multimedia literacy and the ways in which digital texts and devices work. To this end, the author positions technological-literacy learning as parallel to early language learning as well as second-language acquisition, suggesting that preservice teachers understand technology and digital products from behind the screen before they are expected to engage in instructional-technology strategies in front of the screen

Chaplains, their History and the Theology of R. A. Lambourne
No full textThe author considers the tension between the psychiatric patient’s need for the full healing resources of a given religion and the need for the NHS to give equal attention to everyone. This is considered for one particular religion – Christianity – because that is the one with which the author is most familiar. However, the point applies to other world religions too. Recent developments in chaplaincy in the NHS in Scotland are discussed: “generic chaplaincy”, a new definition of spirituality and increased supervision of chaplains. The historical and theological background is considered and use is made of Tony Walter’s models of different ways of delivering chaplaincy in hospital. To elucidate the healing resources of Christianity, work on the interface between medicine and theology completed by R. A. Lambourne is brought in. Conclusions are drawn for mental health chaplaincy.</jats:p
