【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Teaching Shakespeare with Purpose A Student-Centred Approach【電子書籍】[ Laura Turchi ]

＜p＞What does it mean to teach Shakespeare with purpose? It means freeing teachers from the notion that teaching Shakespeare means teaching everything, or teaching “Western Civilisation” and universal themes. Instead, this invigorating new book equips teachers to enable student-centred discovery of these complex texts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Because Shakespeare's plays are excellent vehicles for many topics -history, socio-cultural norms and mores, vocabulary, rhetoric, literary tropes and terminology, performance history, performance strategies - it is tempting to teach his plays as though they are good for teaching everything. This lens-free approach, however, often centres the classroom on the teacher as the expert and renders Shakespeare's plays as fixed, determined, and dead. ＜em＞Teaching Shakespeare with Purpose＜/em＞ shows teachers how to approach Shakespeare's works as vehicles for collaborative exploration, to develop intentional frames for discovery, and to release the texts from over-determined interpretations. In other words, this book presents how to teach Shakespeare's plays as living, breathing, and evolving texts.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Boys in the Band Flashpoints of Cinema, History, and Queer Politics【電子書籍】

＜p＞＜strong＞William Friedkin's 1970 motion picture ＜em＞The Boys in the Band＜/em＞ is perfectly poised for the wide-ranging reassessment and innovative readings that this edited volume accomplishes.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Boys in the Band＜/em＞'s debut was revolutionary for its fictional but frank presentation of a male homosexual subculture in Manhattan. Based on Mart Crowley's hit Off-Broadway play from 1968, the film's two-hour running time approximates real time, unfolding at a birthday party attended by nine men whose language, clothing, and behavior evoke a range of urban gay "types." Although various popular critics, historians, and film scholars over the years have offered cursory acknowledgment of the film's importance, more substantive research and analysis have been woefully lacking. The film's neglect among academics belies a rich and rewarding object of study. ＜em＞The Boys in the Band＜/em＞ merits not only the close reading that should accompany such a well-made text but also recognition as a landmark almost ideally situated to orient us amid the highly complex, shifting cultural terrain it occupied upon its releaseーand has occupied since.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The scholars assembled here bring an invigorating variety of methods to their considerations of this singular film. Coming from a wide range of academic disciplines, they pose and answer questions about the film in remarkably different ways. Cultural analysis, archival research, interviews, study of film traditions, and theoretical framing intensify their revelatory readings of the film. Many of the essays take inventive approaches to longstanding debates about identity politics, and together they engage with current academic work across a variety of fields that include queer theory, film theory, gender studies, race and ethnic studies, and Marxist theory. Addressing ＜em＞The Boys in the Band＜/em＞ from multiple perspectives, these essays identify and draw out the film's latent flashpointsーaspects of the film that express the historical, cinematic, and queer-political crises not only of its own time, but also of today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Boys in the Band＜/em＞ is an accessible touchstone text in both queer studies and film studies. Scholars and students working in the disciplines of film studies, queer studies, history, theater, and sociology will surely find the book invaluable and a shaping influence on these fields in the coming years.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Chinese Experimental Architecture Or French Poststructuralist Theory Different Patches of the Concrete【電子書籍】[ Ruo Jia ]

＜p＞＜em＞Chinese Experimental Architecture＜/em＞ Or ＜em＞French Poststructuralist Theory: Different Patches of the Concrete＜/em＞ starts with a paradox: how the Chinese Cultural Revolutionーthrough its adaptation by French Theory and French Theory’s subsequent adaptation by Chinese Experimental Architectureーshaped the Chinese reformative effort to redefine itself, amidst its struggle against colonial dynamics, and against the Cultural Revolution.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through French Poststructuralist Theory, the project creates a critical narrative to access the Chinese Experimental Architecture movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s and its legacy in contemporary Chinese architecture. At the same time, it provides, in retrospect, an opportunity to approach French Theory in its rich global materiality as a production of Chinese Experimental Architecture. This study thus overcomes simplistic dichotomies of dominant and subjugated, reductive labels of orientalism, self-orientalism, and nationalism, as well as architectural stylistic or operative canons. It opens such borders and enclosed entities in a positive way, exploring collaborative inquiries where new possibilities of different materialist architectural design and socio-eco-political epistemological structure emerge in a field of events, encounters, and connections around the probl?matique and signifier of the “concrete.”＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】World Enough Poems【電子書籍】[ Maureen N. McLane ]

＜p＞In ＜em＞World Enough＜/em＞, Maureen N. McLane maps a universe of feeling and thought via skyscapes, city strolls, lunar vistas, and passages through environments given and built. These poems explore how we come to know ourselvesーsensually, intellectually, politically, biologically, historically, and anthropologically. Moving from the most delicate address to the broadest salutation, ＜em＞World Enough＜/em＞ takes us from New England to New York to France to the moon. McLane fuses song and critique, giving us poetry as "musical thought," in Carlyle's phrase. Shuttling between idyll and disaster, between old forms and open experiment, these are restless, probing, exacting poems that aim to take the measure ofーand to give a measure forーwhere we are. McLane moves through many forms and creates her own, invoking the French Revolution alongside convolutions of the heart and revolutions of the moon. Shifting effortlessly between the species and the self, between the sentient surround and the peculiar pulse within, ＜em＞World Enough＜/em＞ attests to experience both singular and shared: "not that I was alive / but that we were."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
