This book can be viewed as a series of investigations into the
ongoing imbrications of the practices of art, ethics and education
as conducted within each author's specific context of practice as
artist, educator, researcher. It constitutes an international
anthology of explorations that are by no means exclusive but
conscious of the ongoing iterations, mutations and individuations
of relations between art, ethics and education, which, in turn,
seek to expand how we might conceive these terms as practices. This
ongoing evolution reminds us that as practices art, ethics and
education are always incomplete processes affected by and affecting
their specific milieus and environments. Chapters within the book
cover a wide range of ethical questions and educational contexts,
broaching subjects as varied as higher education, artificial
intelligence, animal ethics, transcultural encounters,
collaborative art, the education of senior citizens and experiences
of conflict. Art, ethics and education are not conceived in terms
of established orders, representations, ideals, criteria or bodies
of knowledge and practice, but rather in terms of dynamic,
relational processes and their potentialities, that arise within
specific locations, cartographies and ecologies of practice. The
notions of art, ethics and education are viewed in terms of
assemblages that have the capacity to generate new modes of
practice that may question established values and advance new
overlappings of aesthetic, ethical and political relations.

The famous exposition of Hebrew linguistics by Wilhelm Gesenius -
who was one of the most lauded Biblical scholars of his era - is
reprinted here in the popular translation by Arthur Ernest Cowley.
As a Bible tutor and Lutheran scholar, Gesenius depended on a
reliable knowledge of Hebrew to effectively teach the Old
Testament. A voracious reader and a gifted speaker, Gesenius
amassed audiences when giving lectures owing to his ability to make
subjects vivid and interesting - it is this aversion to dryness
that the author applies with vigor to his explanations of Hebrew
grammar and syntax. Chapters are devoted to the sentence structure
and grammatic qualities of Hebrew, with the language's
peculiarities duly noted. How words are composed is another topic
treated with detail, while the Hebraic system of numeracy receives
extensive discussion. How the language expresses verbs and
adjectives, and how gender is expressed, is revealed with ample
demonstration.
Educational Programs for Young Children convenes a valuable
collection of readings about early childhood curricula, providing
students with a solid overview of available options for and
approaches to education for young children. The book begins with a
reading that focuses on seven conditions that are critical for
learning in early childhood. Additional readings address the
history of child care and instruction in the United States,
Vygotskian and post-Vygotskian views on children's play, zones of
proximal development in Head Start classrooms, and Montessori
philosophy, education, and bilingual education. Students read about
pedagogy, various approaches to curriculum development and
teaching, and early childhood intervention programs. The final
reading addresses emergent curriculum and the tension between
relationship and assessment. Throughout the text, post-reading
questions inspire critical thought, meaningful discussion, and
further exploration of each type of presented curricula. Developed
as a supplemental resource, Educational Programs for Young Children
is ideal for courses and programs in childhood education that
explore curriculum in greater depth.
Although in Latin America there are no educational programs
specialized in comparative education, as there are in some
European, Oriental and North American universities, there are
scholars who cultivate this field. With the production of this
book, the authors -most of them affiliated to member organizations
of the World Council of Comparative Education Societies- are
walking towards a Latin American network of researchers with an
interest in establishing a dialogue with non-Spanish speaking
colleagues from the rest of the world. This is the reason of our
effort in writing most of the chapters in English. Comparative
education, as all disciplinary fields, has evolved with different
ways of thinking, approaching and constructing its objects of
research and analysis, which are nurtured by different
epistemological traditions living together in our times, enriching
and bringing complexities. From Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil,
Peru, Venezuela, Costa Rica and Mexico, the authors of the book
pose questions, historical descriptions, reflections, discussions
and cases to set forth their views.
Education, the production of knowledge, identity formation, and
ideological hegemony are inextricably linked in early modern and
modern Korea. This study examines the production and consumption of
knowledge by a multitude of actors and across languages, texts, and
disciplines to analyze the formulation, contestation, and
negotiation of knowledge. The production and dissemination of
knowledge become sites for contestation and struggle-sometimes
overlapping, at other times competing-resulting in a shift from a
focus on state power and its control over knowledge and discourse
to an analysis of local processes of knowledge production and the
roles local actors play in them. Contributors are Daniel Pieper, W.
Scott Wells, Yong-Jin Hahn, Furukawa Noriko, Lim Sang Seok, Kokubu
Mari, Mark Caprio, Deborah Solomon, and Yoonmi Lee.
