Research Through, With and As Storying explores how Indigenous and
non-Indigenous scholars can engage with storying as a tool that
disassembles conventions of research. The authors explore the
concept of storying across different cultures, times and places,
and discuss principles of storying and storying research,
considering Indigenous, feminist and critical theory standpoints.
Through the book, Phillips and Bunda provide an invitation to
locate storying as a valuable ontological, epistemological and
methodological contribution to the academy across disciplines,
arguing that storying research gives voice to the marginalised in
the academy. Providing rich and interesting coverage of the
approaches to the field of storying research from Aboriginal and
white Australian perspectives, this text seeks to enable a profound
understanding of the significance of stories and storying. This
book will prove valuable for scholars, students and practitioners
who seek to develop alternate and creative contributions to the
production of knowledge.
This book focuses on the main constructions with infinitives in
sports newspaper articles in three different languages. To achieve
this, three corpora of sports newspaper articles are contrasted,
one corpus in English, one in Spanish and another one in French.
Each corpus is constituted by fifty sports newspaper articles.
These infinitive constructions are characterized from a
syntactic-textual approach. The main roles identified in the
corpora are: a) infinitive phrases in a noun role, b) infinitive
phrases in a verb role: verbal periphrases, c) infinitive clauses
with a junction purpose, d) independent constructions, e)
lexicalized and grammaticalized infinitives. Furthermore, the most
relevant similarities and differences in the infinitive
constructions in each corpus are determined.
The prolific theatrical activity that abounded on the stages of
early modern Europe demonstrates that drama was a genre that
transcended national borders. The transnational character of early
modern theater reflects the rich admixture of various dramatic
traditions, such as Spain's comedia and Italy's commedia dell'arte,
but also the transformations across cultures of Spanish novellas to
French plays and English interludes. Of particular import to this
study is the role that women and gender played in this
cross-pollination of theatrical sources and practices. Contributors
to the volume not only investigate the gendered effect of Spanish
texts and literary types on English and French drama, they address
the actual journeys of Spanish actresses to French theaters and of
Italian actresses to the Spanish stage, while several emphasize the
movement of royal women to various courts and their impact on
theatrical activity in Spain and abroad. In their innovative focus
on women's participation and influence, the chapters in this volume
illustrate the frequent yet little studied transnational and
transcultural points of contact between Spanish theater and the
national theaters of England, France, Austria, and Italy.
Named to Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2014 Named to School Library
Journal Best Books of 2014 Gabi Hernandez chronicles her last year
in high school in her diary: college applications, Cindy's
pregnancy, Sebastian's coming out, the cute boys, her father's meth
habit, and the food she craves. And best of all, the poetry that
helps forge her identity. July 24 My mother named me Gabriella,
after my grandmother who, coincidentally, didn't want to meet me
when I was born because my mother was unmarried, and therefore
living in sin. My mom has told me the story many, many, MANY, times
of how, when she confessed to my grandmother that she was pregnant
with me, her mother beat her. BEAT HER! She was twenty-five. That
story is the basis of my sexual education and has reiterated why
it's important to wait until you're married to give it up. So now,
every time I go out with a guy, my mom says, "Ojos abiertos,
piernas cerradas." Eyes open, legs closed. That's as far as the
birds and the bees talk has gone. And I don't mind it. I don't
necessarily agree with that whole wait until you're married crap,
though. I mean, this is America and the 21st century; not Mexico
one hundred years ago. But, of course, I can't tell my mom that
because she will think I'm bad. Or worse: trying to be White.

The Baroque Spanish stage is populated with virile queens and
feminized kings. This study examines the diverse ways in which
seventeenth-century comedias engage with the discourse of power and
rulership and how it relates to gender. A privileged place for
ideological negotiation, the comedia provided negative and positive
reflections of kingship at a time when there was a perceived crisis
of monarchical authority in the Habsburg court. Author MarA a
Cristina Quintero explores how playwrights such as Pedro
CalderA(3)n de la Barca, Tirso de Molina, Antonio Coello, and
Francisco Bances Candamo--taking inspiration from legend, myth, and
history--repeatedly staged fantasies of feminine rule, at a time
when there was a concerted effort to contain women's visibility and
agency in the public sphere. The comedia's preoccupation with
kingship together with its obsession with the representation of
women (and women's bodies) renders the question of royal
subjectivity inseparable from issues surrounding masculinity and
femininity. Taking into account theories of performance and
performativity within a historical context, this study investigates
how the themes, imagery, and language in plays by CalderA(3)n and
his contemporaries reveal a richly paradoxical presentation of
gendered monarchical power.

The methods for teaching mathematics usually follow the structure
of mathematics. The problem with this is that the structure of
mathematics took centuries of elaboration to develop and is not the
same as how one originally experiences mathematics. Based on
research of how mathematics is actually learned, this book presents
an innovative approach for teaching mathematics that will engage
pupils and can have lifelong benefits for how they take on board
more advanced mathematical topics.Math Makes Sense! makes use of
the realistic mathematics education (RME) philosophy, which bridges
the gap between informal mathematics learning (such as in
day-to-day life) and more formal teaching in school. Many real-life
situations as examples for learning are included, as well as
different mathematical and logic puzzles that will stimulate
learning and foster understanding.The ideas presented are not
confined to one national curriculum and so can be helpful worldwide
to teachers/ instructors (both in practice and those still in
training), private tutors, homeschooling parents, and educational
researchers.

Storying Learning in Early Childhood documents philosophical,
research, and critical questions about notions of childrens'
experiences and learning potential that heavily influence the
profession. Critically created, child-centered curriculum and
assessment collaborations focus on contexts of homes, schools, and
communities. This book brings into focus policy issues, economic
issues, and political realities that affect us all as we engage in
curriculum and assessment. Patterns of findings under the foci of
critical, responsive curriculum and authentic assessment for all
children have illustrated new questions, provoked new trajectories
of informants, and reiterated connections to dynamic issues in
early childhood internationally. The work involved in curriculum
and assessment points to international discussions about what is
"quality" in early care and education and who has the power to
decide. These international dynamics highlight the inevitable
connections among programs for young children, policies, and
politics. Further consideration regarding multiple histories,
strengths, and needs of young children also illustrate
little-discussed refugees and migrating people around the world -
and their children - who are growing and experiencing life wherever
they are living in a variety of situations with or without support.
This is a book about story, the human experience, teaching and
learning, creativity and community. Story is so much more than
decoding text and writing using academic language. It also includes
literature and all forms of the arts; digital forms of story, from
social media to documentation of history; and new forms of
multilayered, multigenre research. Story is the backbone and the
catalyst for personal connections, appropriation of knowledge, and
synergy of knowledge for global citizens. Critical qualitative
research is the methodology by which to document and analyze what
is really going on in the complex, multidirectional interactions.
The authors maintain that story in a broad and newly enlightened
sense may help us to break out from the narrow concepts of
literacy, content knowledge related to measureable standards, and
random facts that are unrelated to dispositions for addressing
human needs. Literacy as a conceptual synthesis of knowledge,
skills, and dispositions has been giving us glimpses of synergistic
ways to approach learning and teaching.
