Exploring the Power of Social Talk in a Foreign Language Possibilities for Integration and Critical Pedagogy

Exploring the Power of Social Talk in a Foreign Language Possibilities for Integration and Critical Pedagogy

This book examines the fundamental interactional dimension to foreign language communication including the establishment development consolidation and maintenance of interpersonal relations. It argues that interpersonal language use such as small talk casual conversation and gossipy talk is not only key to meaningful and productive communication but that it is an essential dimension with respect to successful foreign language interaction and that engaging in interpersonal language is communicatively valuable and worthwhile in its own right. Crucially it explores how teaching and learning can utilise the role of social talk and relational engagement in helping interactants to express voice and convey their own values attitudes and beliefs. Finally it develops a critical relational pedagogy focused on language speakers’ needs objectives and desires. Redressing the imbalance between transactional and interactional language teaching and stressing the importance of phatic and relational language use in helping language users achieve their communicative goals it will appeal to researchers postgraduates and scholars in the fields of education and linguistics. | Exploring the Power of Social Talk in a Foreign Language Possibilities for Integration and Critical Pedagogy

Families

Families

In 'Families' Jane Howard informally visits many dozens of families and tries to discover what makes the best ones work so well. Families are not dying she finds although they are evolving in various ways. From the tightest-knit nuclear family or extended clan to the most fragile new commune the family in one guise or another remains everybody's most basic hold on reality. We may run away from our families as many do but no sooner do we escape than we find another one often very much like it. Sympathetically with immense thrust she crosses the continent to discover families' myths jokes and rituals. She leafs through their scrapbooks sits on their porches and takes part when she can in their feasts and celebrations. She talks to a father of eighteen several double first cousins stepchildren multiple godmothers an honorary relative of an Indian tribe and a nine-year-old boy who has no family but his mother. She sits with a matriarch on the front stoop of a ghetto house goes camping with a family in Mexico has Thanksgiving with another in Iowa and orders pizza with a Greek clan in Massachusetts. Howard reports on visits to conventional Southern and Jewish households and to innovative ones whose members lacking a common history plan on building common futures as if water were after all as thick as blood. She examines the notion that there are ways and ways of achieving kinship of which birth and marriage are only the most obvious. Millions of clans and families all over the United States continue to celebrate quarrel disband reunite and endure. Jane Howard makes us realize how our lives are interwoven both with the families we are born into and with those we invent as we go through life. 'Families' is compassionate provocative and profound. The paperback edition of this important work will be essential reading for all those with an interest in the study of familial bonds particularly sociologists anthropologists and psychologists.

Masculinity Meets Humanity An Adapted Model of Masculinised Psychotherapy

Masculinity Meets Humanity An Adapted Model of Masculinised Psychotherapy

In this book the author a clinical psychologist reflects on her psychotherapy experiences with male clients as she debunks the myth of male alexithymia the inability to recognise and express emotions. Men are apparently disengaged from wellness practices as they are perceived to be reluctant to seek mental health care. An ubuntu-inspired personhood discourse of trust empathy and transformation theoretically underpins the author’s clinical practice. The integration of the culturally familiar philosophy of ubuntu challenges the hegemony of strictly modern Western psychological discourses and theories. Although the book is not a manual for how to do therapy with men neither a panacea for all male related challenges it can ignite empathic insights and kindle gender sensitive responses to male concerns locally and internationally. Women who are frequently the targets of gender-based violence primarily committed by men may play a significant role in the rehabilitation and healing of men. Men are usually excluded from psychosocial interventions but this book makes the case that prioritsing the wellbeing of boys and men is critical to creating a society that is safe for everyone—men women children and the broader public.

Nonverbal Communication

Nonverbal Communication

Even though our society subtly discourages the verbal expression of emotions most of us in ostensibly conforming to our roles nevertheless manage to express likes dislikes status differences personalities as well as weaknesses in nonverbal ways. Using vocal expressions; gestures postures and movements we amplify restrict or deny what our words say to one another and even say some things with greater facility and efficiency than with words. In this new multidimensional approach to the subject of nonverbal communication Albert Mehrabian brings together a great deal of original work which includes descriptions of new experimental methods that are especially suited to this field detailed findings of studies scattered throughout the literature and most importantly the integration of these findings within a compact framework. The framework starts with the analysis of the meanings of various nonverbal behaviors and is based on the fact that more than half of the variance in the significance of nonverbal signals can be described in terms of the three orthogonal dimensions of positiveness potency or status and responsiveness. These three dimensions not only constitute the semantic space for nonverbal communication but also help to identify groups of behaviors relating to each to describe characteristic differences in nonverbal communication to analyze and generate rules for the understanding of inconsistent messages and to provide researchers with new and comprehensive measures for description of social behavior. This volume will be particularly valuable for both the professional psychologist and the graduate student in psychology. It will also be of great interest to professionals in the fields of speech and communication sociology anthropology and psychiatry.

On Understanding Emotion

On Understanding Emotion

Emotions-fleeting insubstantial changeable and ambiguous-seem to defy study and analysis. Nothing is more complex mysterious and subject to conflicting theories and interpretations than human emotion. Yet the central importance of emotion in human affairs is undeniable. Emotions affect all levels of life-personal organizational political cultural economic and religious. Emotions give meaning to life. Emotional disturbances can destroy that meaning. How should emotions be studied? How can an understanding of the inner feelings of individuals illuminate important social interactions and human developments? In his book Norman Denzin presents a systematic in-depth analysis of emotion that combines new theoretical advances with practical applications. Based on an intensive critical examination of classical and modern theoretical research-and on revealing personal interviews in which ordinary people express their emotional lives-he builds a new framework for understanding ordinary emotions and emotional disturbances. Denzin analyzes how people experience joy and pain love and hate anger and despair friendship and alienation-and examines the personal psychological social and cultural aspects of human emotion to provide new perspectives for understanding human experience and social interactions. He offers new insights on the role of emotions in family violence and recommends ways of helping people escape from recurring patterns of violence. And in criticizing current conceptions of emotionally disturbed people he reveals the nature of their inner lives and the ways they perceive and relate to others. In sum this book presents new insights on human relationships and human experience. It is now available in paperback for the first time with a new introduction by the author. | On Understanding Emotion

Exteriorless Architecture Form Space and Urbanities of Neoliberalism

Exteriorless Architecture Form Space and Urbanities of Neoliberalism

The current phase of capitalist development manifests itself through a very diverse range of spatial byproducts: data centers warehouses container terminals logistics parks and many others. Generally considered as mediocre and banal examples that sit outside of pre-established disciplinary canons these architectural episodes are extremely relevant. They are relevant not for their aesthetic or historic qualities but for what they represent – for the system of values these spaces embed. They express specific power relations exacerbate issues of labor and generate dramatic processes of subjectivity. Most importantly these architectures despite their formal and typological heterogeneity belong to a common paradigm: the EXTERIORLESS. How can an architecture of the EXTERIORLESS be defined? How does it differentiate from examples and manifestations of the past? How do notions of legibility form versus function typological articulation come into play? In situating the spatialities of contemporary capitalism within the larger debate on Anthropocene Post-Anthropocene and Capitalocene the book attempts to answer those questions by delineating three main characteristics for an architecture of the EXTERIORLESS: its physical and symbolic role as interface; its ambiguous condition of being at the same time local and global isolated and connected compressed and expanded; and lastly its contribution to new forms of urbanity in absence of the traditional city. These three defining aspects constitute the main sections of the book. Each section includes two chapters covering a wide spectrum of themes and examples. In its tripartite organization the book describes the influence that the experimental architecture of the 1960s has exerted on late-capitalist spatial byproducts; it analyzes the impact of logistics on the redesign of the territory; and it introduces the radical processes of urban transformation generated by the EXTERIORLESS. | Exteriorless Architecture Form Space and Urbanities of Neoliberalism

A note from the author Richard Zakia P. H. Emerson reminds us that Every artist is at first an amateur. One of the great American photographers of the 20th Century Edward Weston as a young photographer only got honourable mention in a photographic contest sponsored by an amateur camera magazine. Ansel Adams Paul Strand and others also began as amateurs. Wynn Bullock began his outstanding photographic career later in life when he was in his 40s Today in our digital age everyone is a photographer. Recognizing this and the fact that there are some basic proven guidelines for creating winning photographs we put together this highly visual book especially for beginning photographers who want to improve their photography. In doing so we discovered that some professional photographers also found it helpful. One can think of our book as a visual grammar that will help you better compose what you desire to express and to do so with clarity. However amazing the subject or technically excellent the photography the single biggest factor in deciding whether a photograph is good or bad is how well it is composed. Photographic Composition Visualized offers a unique take on this fundamental issue by offering instruction in a visual format - the book is laid out in a unique spread format of a beautiful image on one page with an in-depth break down of why the rule of composition works in the image but also how a photographer can apply it to their own photography. Inspirational instructive and most importantly visually stunning and beautiful photography master Richard Zakia teaches the lessons he has learned from over 40 years as a photographer. This is the book every photographer needs to own in order to create the outstanding images they always wanted to - but didn't know how. | Photographic Composition A Visual Guide

Dolusio; Maria Estela Brisk's discussion on the need to restructure schools to incorporate the large non-English student population; several articles regarding educational reform in Massachusetts including two by school superintendents Eugene Creedon and Douglas Sears and one by Harold Lane Chairman of the Joint Education Committee in the Massachusetts Legislature; and finally Kevin Clark's From Primary Language Instruction to English Immersion: How Five California Districts Made the Switch. Kevin Clark's California study From Primary Language Instruction to English Immersion: How Five California Districts Made the Switch describes how radical changes are being carried out in a few representative school districts since passage of California Proposition 227 the English for the Children initiative.
