This book is a story. It’s a story about ordinary people in very different parts of the world dealing with rapid change in the late twentieth and early twenty-first

To-be-or-not-to-be dilemmas abound in the study of separatist insurgencies. Such movements create state-like institutions, which are simultaneously real and unreal. This book offers a performative perspective to confront these interpretative dilemmas. It offers an unprecedented rendition of Sri Lanka's Tamil nationalist movement. Open Access.

This book explores the formative correlations and inventive transmissions of Anglophone Arab representations ranging from early 20th century Mahjar writings to contemporary transnational Palestinian resistance art. Tracing multiple beginnings and seminal intertexts, the comparative study of dissonant truth-making presents critical readings in which the notion of cross-cultural translation gets displaced and strategic unreliability, representational opacity, or matters of act advance to essential qualities of the discussed works' aesthetic devices and ethical concerns. Questioning conventional interpretive approaches, Markus Schmitz shows what Anglophone Arab studies are and what they can become from a radically decentered relational point of view. Among the writers and artists discussed are such diverse figures as Rabih Alameddine, William Blatty, Kahlil Gibran, Ihab Hassan, Jabra Ibrahim Jabra, Emily Jacir, Walid Raad, Ameen Rihani, Edward Said, Larissa Sansour, and Raja Shehadeh.

No auge da efervescência desencadeada pela Revolução de 25 de Abril, mais de uma centena de adolescentes, de ambos os sexos, passa o Verão de 1975 numa acção concertada de recolha de cultura popular. Foi a resposta a um apelo de Michel Giacometti, o homem que, desde finais da década de 50, percorrera Portugal captando a voz do Povo. Faltava um museu dedicado a esta causa. Este livro desenvolve uma abordagem sistemática do acervo de cultura material então reunido a nível nacional. A principal finalidade deste volume é exemplificar potencialidades de tratamento e dinamização do património etnográfico existente em estruturas museológicas.

Terrortimes, Terrorscapes: Continuities of Space, Time, and Memory in Twentieth-Century War and Genocide investigates interconnections between space and violence throughout the twentieth century, and how such connections informed collective memory. The interdisciplinary volume shows how entangled notions of time and space amplified by memory narratives led to continuities of violence across different conflicts creating ?terrortimes? and ?terrorscapes? in their wake. The volume examines such continuities of violence with the help of an analytical framework built around different themes. Its first part, spatial and temporal continuities of violence, looks at contested spaces and ideas of national, ethnic, or religious homogeneity that are often at the heart of prolonged conflicts. The second part, on states and actors, addresses the role of states as enablers of violence, asymmetric power dynamics, and the connection between imperialism and genocide in Africa. Imagination and emotion?the focus of the third part?explores utopian visions and their limits that instigate or hinder, and the mobilization of emotion through propaganda. Finally, the fourth part shows how the recollection of the past sometimes triggers new terrortimes. Departing from an understanding of violence limited to certain areas and time frames, this volume describes continuities of violence as overlapping fabrics woven together from notions of space, time, and memory.

Spatial knowledge takes different forms in different societies and at different times in history depending on the spatial experiences accounted for and the available means for the external representation of knowledge. The volume presents and analyses manifestations of spatial thinking in the language and practices of recent non-literate societies, in the administrative institutions of early civilizations, in discursive contexts of ancient Greece and China, in early modern natural philosophy and metaphysics, and in twentieth-century physics, and discusses their historical and structural relations.

Les Balkans ont souvent fait l’objet d’un imaginaire négatif, lié à leur fragmentation et aux conflits identitaires. Pourtant, cette région a également constitué un espace à la fois physique et mental d’une possible hybridité culturelle, un espace-frontière, où de nouvelles identités ont pu être imaginées par les voyageurs, rompant ainsi avec la logique habituelle d’essentialisation, que celle-ci serve à stigmatiser une supposée infériorité « orientale » ou à faire l’éloge d’un exotisme folklorisant non moins suspect. À partir d’un corpus viatique cohérent, cet ouvrage part à la recherche de ce qui se joue, entre les xixe et xxie siècles, dans le regard que portent les voyageurs européens sur ces régions où Orient et Occident se côtoient et, parfois, se mélangent, en constituant un « tiers espace », c’est-à-dire un « lieu » privilégié où se recréent de nouvelles identités culturelles.

Title in English: Together, yet separate: the shape of differentiated teaching in primary schools This publication focuses on the issue of ability grouping in primary schools, to illustrate how teachers address the different learning needs of pupils in an environment that combines co-teaching with ability grouping. Using examples from five primary schools shows how schools are coping with the long-standing criticism of the Czech education system for prematurely separating pupils. The book presents different, more or less visible models of pupil grouping that may exist in primary schools and reflects on their impact on equality of learning opportunities. It uses qualitative research data to show that simply grouping pupils is no guarantee of improved learning. Adapting teaching practices to the diverse needs of pupils, regardless of the type of grouping, is a necessary condition. This publication is aimed not only at education policy professionals but also at other schools considering grouping options. The publication offers recommendations on how to approach differentiation equitably maximize its benefits and minimize its risks. Finally, the book aims at all those who wish to ensure that all children can achieve a quality education regardless of adverse circumstances.

Este volumen es un intento de renovación y desperiferialización de los estudios ibéricos, enfocando lo periférico como posicionamiento geográfico, cultural e ideológico, a la hora de cuestionar la óptica hegemónica del centro y revisar los cánones culturales preexistentes, y sus vacíos, exclusiones e invisibilidades. Se trata de una múltiple tarea – realizada desde Australia y Nueva Zelanda – que incluye el estudio de formas culturales periféricas, tanto de las llamadas nacionalidades históricas ausentes del canon cultural/literario/lingüístico castellano, como de otros grupos minorizados que han sido tradicionalmente desplazados a diferentes tipos de periferia, tales como los exiliados, los presos políticos, los inmigrantes, los gitanos, las clases trabajadoras, los sujetos coloniales o las minorías sexuales, en un contexto global.
