Evaluating the European Approach to Rural Development Grass-roots Experiences of the LEADER Programme

Evaluating the European Approach to Rural Development Grass-roots Experiences of the LEADER Programme

The LEADER programme initiated in 1991 aims to improve the development potential of rural areas in the European Union by drawing on local initiatives and skills. Highlighting this unique policy approach this book presents up-to-date research results on LEADER’s achievements and restrictions at the local level in a comparative way in order to discuss its merits and problems. What makes LEADER important is not only that it has a major role in rural development efforts but also that it has a pioneering role in the new type of governance participatory democracy. Asking whether LEADER strengthens local democracy or not this book also looks at how it affects the power balance among stakeholders between national and local actors and between genders. It questions whether LEADER projects are genuinely grass-root level activities reflecting local needs and ideals; and if the approach brings local know-how back onto the development agenda in innovations and development activities. Finally the authors examine the success of dissemination of knowledge within the LEADER programme to other regions. | Evaluating the European Approach to Rural Development Grass-roots Experiences of the LEADER Programme

Maybe Teaching is a Bad Idea Why Faculty Should Focus on Learning

Maybe Teaching is a Bad Idea Why Faculty Should Focus on Learning

Deep and lasting learning results when we teach human brains in ways responsive to how they’re structured and how they function which is not how we imagine they work or wish they would work. This book proposes a radical restructuring of teaching so that it conforms to how people learn. Spence maintains that teaching cannot and should not be aimed at transferring knowledge from teacher brains into student brains. In his words: “Decades of experience have made perfectly clear that this approach frustrates teachers bores students and results in minimal learning. ”This is a book that challenges—it will poke and prod your thinking. The author writes near the end of Chapter 4 “I wanted to write a book that asked real questions and explored possible answers. I am not concerned that you agree with my answers or ideas but I fervently hope the questions I’m raising will lead you to questions about habitual teaching practices and the resulting failure of students to learn. ” | Maybe Teaching is a Bad Idea Why Faculty Should Focus on Learning

Being Lived by My Life A Sort of Autobiography

Being Lived by My Life A Sort of Autobiography

Originally published in 1957 this book was a new departure in autobiographies. It is both enlightening and entertaining. There is a happy blending of narrative reflection and occasional extracts from case histories which gives it a delightfully human character. But it is more than this. It is a story of the profound inward adventure of an exceptionally inquiring mind. From childhood to professional maturity it proceeds through economic difficulties love and tribulation to science and general medical practice. It tells how Dr Berg became so convinced of the psychogenesis of human suffering that with great courage he gave up his practice and personal security to search for the causes in mental conflict. The story proceeds through specialisation in psychiatry to analytical training and analytic practice building up in the later chapters to a description of the troubled mind in all its manifestations and of the medical analyst’s daily work. There is a new explanation of the psychology of love with the inclusion of personal as well as professional experiences. Here as throughout conclusions have an astonishing difference from orthodox or familiar speculation and this is because they are based strictly on knowledge professional and personal. The style is natural lively and lucid. Here is an opportunity to combine learning with entertainment for Dr Berg has an extraordinary flair for presenting difficult things attractively without sacrifice of scientific essentials. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1957. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication. | Being Lived by My Life A Sort of Autobiography

What is Europe?

What is Europe?

This authoritative yet accessible introduction to understanding Europe today moves beyond accounts of European integration to provide a wide-ranging and nuanced study of contemporary Europe and its historical development. This fully updated edition adds material on recent developments such as Brexit and the migrant and Eurozone crises. The concept of Europe is instilled with a plethora of social cultural economic and political meanings. Throughout history and still today scholars writing on Europe and politicians involved in national or European politics often disagree on the geographic limits of this space and the defining elements of Europe. Europe is therefore first and foremost a concept that takes different shapes and meanings depending on the realm of life on which it is applied and on the historical period under investigation. At a given point in time depending on the perspective we adopt and the situation in which we find ourselves Europe may represent very different things. Thus we should better talk about ‘Europes’ in plural. What is Europe? explores these evolving conceptions of Europe from antiquity to the present. This book is all the more timely as Europe responds to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Britain’s departure from the European Union financial slump refugee emergencies and the COVID-19 pandemic. This book offers a fully updated introduction to European studies from an interdisciplinary perspective. It is a crucial companion to any undergraduate or graduate course on Europe and the European Union.

What is the Theatre?

What is the Theatre?

What is the Theatre? is one of the most coherent and systematic descriptions and analyses of the theatre yet compiled. Theatre is above all spectacle. It is a fleeting performance delivered by actors and intended for spectators. It is a work of the body an exercise of voice and gesture addressed to an audience most often in a specific location and with a unique setting. This entertainment event rests on the delivery of a thing promised and expected – a particular and unique performance witnessed by spectators who have come to the site of the performance for this very reason. To witness theatre is to take into account the performance but it is also to take into account the printed text as readable object and a written proposition. In this book Christian Biet and Christophe Triau focus on the practical theoretical and historical positions that the spectator and the reader have had in relation to the locations that they frequent and the texts that they handle. They adopt two approaches: analysing the spectacle in its theatrical and historical context in an attempt to seek out the principles and paradigms of approaching the theatre experience on one hand and analysing the dramaturgy of a production in order to establish lines of interpretation and how to read represent and stage a text on the other. This approach allows us to better understand the ties that link those who participate in the theatre to the practitioners who create theatrical entertainment.

All My Relations: Understanding the Experiences of Native Americans with Disabilities

All My Relations: Understanding the Experiences of Native Americans with Disabilities

Native Americans suffer disproportionately from many social and health disparities. High rates of poverty exposure to environmental toxins and various forms of violence all increase the risk of health problems including disabilities yet there is very little published scholarship concerning Native American experiences with disabilities. In collecting contributions on various aspects of disability in Native American populations in one volume this book seeks to redress this lack of attention. Writing about regions of the United States Canada and Australia and spanning a diverse range of settings from remote rural areas to reservations to college campuses the authors are attentive to the impact of specific environments on their inhabitants. Taking into account both physical and social environment and recognizing the importance of cultural context this book is a good starting point for anyone interested in developing a better understanding of the experience of Native peoples living with disabilities. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social Work in Disability & Rehabilitation. | All My Relations: Understanding the Experiences of Native Americans with Disabilities

What is Soul?

What is Soul?

Rooted in the metaphysics of bygone times the notion of soul in our Western tradition is packed with associations and meanings that are incompatible with the anthropological and naturalistic thinking that prevails in modernity. Whereas treatises of old conceived of the soul as an infinite immaterial substance which was the ground of man’s hope for eternal salvation modern psychology has for the most part discarded the concept in favor of more tangible touchstones such as the emotions desires and attachments which characterize man as a finite bodily-existing positive fact. An exception to this trend has been the analytical psychology of C. G. Jung. Against the positivistic spirit of his times Jung insisted upon a ‘psychology with soul ’ that is a psychology based upon the hypothesis of an autonomous mind. In this volume Wolfgang Giegerich once again takes up the Jungian commitment to a psychology with soul. Agreeing with Jung that the soul concept is indispensable for a truly psychological psychology he supplements and re-orients the Jungian approach to both this concept and the phenomenology of the soul by means of a whole series of nuanced discussions that are as rigorous as they are thoroughgoing. The result is nothing short of a tour de force. Tarrying with the negative Giegerich’s particular contribution resides in his showing the movement against the soul to be the soul’s own doing. In animus moments of itself consciousness in the form of philosophy and Enlightenment reason turned upon itself as religion and metaphysics. Far from abolishing the soul however these incisive negations were themselves negated. As if dancing upon its own demise the soul came home to itself not as an invisible metaphysical substance but more invisibly still as the logically negative evaporation of that substance into the form of subject or even better said into psychology. | What is Soul?

What Even Is Gender?

What Even Is Gender?

Debates about gender are everywhere. Is it an inner identity a biological fact or an oppressive system? Should we respect it or resist it? What Even Is Gender? shifts the conversation in a fresh direction arguing that these debates rest on a shared mistake: the idea that there is one thing called gender that both sides are arguing about. The authors distinguish a range of phenomena that established vocabulary often lumps together. This sheds light on the equivocations and false dichotomies of gender talk and how they deny many of us the tools to make our needs experiences and concerns intelligible to others or even to ourselves. The authors develop a conceptual toolkit that helps alleviate the harms that result from the limitations of familiar approaches. They propose a pluralistic concept of gender feels that distinguishes among our experiences of diverse facets of gendered life. They develop a flexible approach to gender categories that reflects the value of self-determination. And they suggest that what we need is not one universal language of gender but an awareness of individual variation and a willingness to adjust to changing contexts and circumstances. A bold and thought-provoking approach to thinking about gender What Even Is Gender? will be of great interest to those in philosophy gender studies sociology and LGBTQIA+ studies.

What is Music Literacy?

What is Music Literacy?

What is Music Literacy? attempts to redefine music literacy with a more expansive meaning than is commonly in use and to articulate the potential impact of these ideas on music teaching practice. The notion of music literacy has involved the ability to read and write music scores. However this understanding does not extend theory to identify all music texts nor to offer a thorough treatment of what impact an expanded notion of music literacy might have on music instruction in the classroom and in ensembles. This book provides a formal expansive redefinition of music literacy. The author offers practical ideas for attending more effectively to music literacy in classroom instruction. The book highlights common elements in the music classroom: the music score the conductor surrounding ensemble members the musical model the musical instrument and presentations/recordings. It also describes four orientations that correspond to the National Core Music Standards (2014) and that characterize humans’ interactions with music: creator performer responder and connector. What is Music Literacy? uses these orientations along with a focus on authentic music texts and literacies to present literacy-based guidelines for music education along with numerous vignettes that describe actual literacy instructional events. | What is Music Literacy?
