Die koel is deur die kerk. Die huweliksbootjie het gesink. Hy kry die bed en sy die tafel. Hoekom skei hulle en hoekom skei hulle n dat jy ’n volwasse kind is?
Jou ouers is besig om te skei of hulle is klaar geskei. Almal fokus op hulle, maar jy suffer ook. Volwasse kinders kry swr wanneer hulle ouers skei. Net so swaar, indien nie swaarder as jong kinders nie.
’n Eerste in Afrikaans — ’n handleiding vol raad oor hoe om die sleg en gesukkel van ’n egskeiding te hanteer waar volwasse kinders van egskeiding (18 jaar en ouer) hulle eerstehandse ervaring, verwarring, onsekerheid, woede en hartseer deel wat begin die oomblik as Ma en Pa s: dis verby.
Die slegte nuus? Die egskeiding sal altyd ’n wond wees. Die goeie nuus? Jy kan leer hoe om dit beter te hanteer en met tyd kan dit net ’n letsel word. Soos Gretha (26) s: “Time makes all wounds bearable.”
This book provides a novel approach to the understanding and
realization of the values of art. It argues that art has often been
instrumentalized for state-building, to promote social inclusion of
diversity, or for economic purposes such as growth or innovation.
To counteract that, the authors study the values that artists and
audiences seek to realize in the social practices around the arts.
They develop the concept of cultural civil society to analyze how
art is practiced and values are realized in creative circles and
co-creative communities of spectators, illustrated with
case-studies about hip-hop, Venetian art collectives, dance
festivals, science-fiction fandom, and a queer museum. The authors
provide a four-stage scheme that illustrates how values are
realized in a process of value orientation, imagination,
realization, and evaluation. The book relies on an
interdisciplinary approach rooted in economics and sociology of the
arts, with an appreciation for broader social theories. It
integrates these disciplines in a pragmatic approach based on the
work of John Dewey and more recent neo-pragmatist work to recover
the critical and constructive role that cultural civil society
plays in a plural and democratic society. The authors conclude with
a new perspective on cultural policy, centered around state
neutrality towards the arts and aimed at creating a legal and
social framework in which social practices around the arts can
flourish and co-exist peacefully.
Cybercartography in a Reconciliation Community: Engaging
Intersecting Perspectives, Volume Eight gathers perspectives on
issues related to reconciliation-primarily in a residential /
boarding school context-and demonstrates the unifying power of
Cybercartography by identifying intersections among different
knowledge perspectives. Concerned with understanding approaches
toward reconciliation and education, preference is given to
reflexivity in research and knowledge dissemination. The
positionality aspect of reflexivity is reflected in the chapter
contributions concerning various aspects of cybercartographic atlas
design and development research, and related activities. In this
regard, the book offers theoretical and practical knowledge of
collaborative transdisciplinary research through its reflexive
assessment of the relationships, processes and knowledge involved
in cybercartographic research. Using, most specifically, the
Residential Schools Land Memory Mapping Project for context,
Cybercartography in a Reconciliation Community provides a high
speed tour through the project's innovative collaborative approach
to mapping institutional material and volunteered geographic
information. Exploring Cybercartography through the lens of this
atlas project provides for a comprehensive understanding of both
Cybercartography and transdisciplinary research, while informing
the reader of education and reconciliation initiatives in Canada,
the U.S., the U.K. and Italy.
Bringing together a team of global experts, this is the first
volume to focus on the ways in which meanings are ascribed to
actions in social interaction. It builds on the research traditions
of Conversation Analysis and Pragmatics, and highlights the role of
interactional, social, linguistic, multimodal, and epistemic
factors in the formation and ascription of action-meanings. It
shows how inference and intention ascription are displayed and
drawn upon by participants in social interaction. Each chapter
reveals practices, processes, and uses of action ascription, based
on the analysis of audio and video recordings from nine different
languages. Action ascription is conceptualised in this volume as
not merely a cognitive process, but a social action in its own
right that is used for managing interactional concerns and guiding
the subsequent course of social interaction. It will be essential
reading for academic researchers and advanced students interested
in the relationship between language, behaviour and social
interaction.
Written in 1954 and published here for the first time, The Social
Background of Delinquency deals with the social climate in which
juvenile delinquency crops up time after time. It examines
‘bad’ behaviour among people who could otherwise be classed as
‘normal’ members of ordinary English society. It attempts to
explore certain aspects of the sub-cultures within respectable
society which appear to breed behaviour officially classed as
‘delinquent’. The research is based on a working-class town in
the Midlands with a high proportion of miners and observes a pair
of similar streets in five areas of the town. Each pair of streets
containing one delinquency-free and one with a history of trouble.
Not content with a mere survey, the research design is multifaceted
and includes ethnographic observations, key informant interviews,
personal history analyses and 'the playroom method' explicitly
designed to ascertain children's views. The findings are reported
here and represent a snapshot of life in the 1950s.
During the long eighteenth century the moral and socio-political
dimensions of family life and gender were hotly debated by
intellectuals across Europe. John Millar, a Scottish law professor
and philosopher, was a pioneer in making gendered and familial
practice a critical parameter of cultural difference. His work was
widely disseminated at home and abroad, translated into French and
German and closely read by philosophers such as Denis Diderot and
Johann Gottfried Herder. Taking Millar's writings as his basis,
Nicholas B. Miller explores the role of the family in Scottish
Enlightenment political thought and traces its wider resonances
across the Enlightenment world. John Millar's organisation of
cultural, gendered and social difference into a progressive
narrative of authority relations provided the first extended world
history of the family. Over five chapters that address the
historical and comparative models developed by the thinker,
Nicholas B. Miller examines contemporary responses and
Enlightenment-era debates on polygamy, matriarchy, the Amazon
legend, changes in national character and the possible futures of
the family in commercial society. He traces how Enlightenment
thinkers developed new standards of evidence and crafted new
understandings of historical time in order to tackle the global
diversity of family life and gender practice. By reconstituting
these theories and discussions, Nicholas B. Miller uncovers
hitherto unexplored aspects of the Scottish contribution to
European debates on the role of the family in history, society and
politics.
"The Richardson boys ganged up with two other big families in their
buildings and, at various ages, had tried out most of the local
youth organisations. Bert Richardson with a suitable set of
brothers and mates, was in the Scouts, but they got ejected. Later,
at thirteen, he joined a boys' club for its boxing and football,
and belonged on and off till he was sixteen. Then he suddenly
dropped out." Why did Bert drop out? Originally published in 1954,
the answer forms the substance of Some Young People, the report of
an inquiry into adolescents' reactions to their local youth groups.
Besides answering the question "Who joins what?" (and two thirds of
these thousand youngsters of 14 to 17 were not members of any youth
organisation) the book describes some of the hopes, pleasures and
difficulties of such people as Frances, the chocolate packer, who
has ambition to marry before long; and John, the carpenter's
apprentice, whose passions are autocycling, pigeons and pigs. It
also throws light on problems such as those presented by gangs; and
suggests the importance of "my friends," the closely-knit set who
mean so much to the adolescent.
From Revolution to Revolution (1973) examines England, Scotland and
Wales from the revolution of 1688 when William became King, to the
American Revolution of 1776. In this period lies the roots of
modern Britain, as it went from being underdeveloped countries on
the fringe of European civilization to a predominating influence in
the world. This book examines the union of the island, development
of an organized public opinion and national consciousness, as well
as Parliament and its factions, the landed and business classes.
Views on religion, art, architecture and the changing face of the
countryside are also examined, as is the tension between London and
the rest of the island. The important issues of colonial expansions
in Ireland, America, India and Africa are also analysed.
The Court and the Country (1969) offers a fresh view and synthesis
of the English revolution of 1640. It describes the origin and
development of the revolution, and gives an account of the various
factors - political, social and religious - that produced the
revolution and conditioned its course. It explains the revolution
primarily as a result of the breakdown of the unity of the
governing class around the monarchy into the contending sides of
the Court and the Country. A principal theme is the formation
within the governing class of an opposition movement to the Crown.
The role of Puritanism and of the towns is examined, and the
resistance to Charles I is considered in relation to other European
revolutions of the period.
A Nation of Change and Novelty (1990) ranges broadly over the
political and literary terrain of the seventeenth century,
examining the importance of the English Revolution as a decisive
event in English and European history. It emphasises the historical
significance of the English Revolution, exploring not only its
causes but also its long term consequences, basing both in a broad
social context and viewing it as a necessary condition of England's
having nurtured the first Industrial Revolution.
Reflections on the Puritan Revolution (1986) examines the damage
done by the Puritans during the English Civil War, and the enormous
artistic losses England suffered from their activities. The
Puritans smashed stained glass, monuments, sculpture, brasses in
cathedrals and churches; they destroyed organs, dispersed the
choirs and the music. They sold the King's art collections,
pictures, statues, plate, gems and jewels abroad, and broke up the
Coronation regalia. They closed down the theatres and ended
Caroline poetry. The greatest composer and most promising scientist
of the age were among the many lives lost; and this all besides the
ruin of palaces, castles and mansions.
A History of Political Thought in the English Revolution (1954)
examines the large range of political doctrines which played their
part in the English revolution - a period when modern democratic
ideas began. The political literature of the period between 1645,
when the Levellers first seized upon the revolution's wider
implications, and 1660, when Charles II restored the monarchy to
power, is here studied in detail.
Exploring Instagram’s public pedagogy at scale, this book uses
innovative digital methods to trace and analyze how publics
reinforce and resist settler colonialism as they engage with the
Trans Mountain pipeline controversy online. The book traces
opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline in so-called Canada,
where overlapping networks of concerned citizens, Indigenous land
protectors, and environmental activists have used Instagram to
document pipeline construction, policing, and land degradation;
teach using infographics; and express solidarity through artwork
and re-shared posts. These expressions constitute a form of
“public pedagogy,” where social media takes on an educative
force, influencing publics whether or not they set foot in the
classroom.
