Middle school history teachers confront the same challenge every
day: how to convey the breadth and depth of a curriculum that spans
centuries, countries, and cultures. In "Making History Mine, "Sarah
Cooper shows teachers how to use thematic instruction to link
skills to content knowledge. By combining thought-provoking
activities and rich assessments, Sarah encourages teachers to
challenge students to make history personal and relevant to their
lives.
Built around eight themes--examining the role of the individual,
understanding point of view, assessing the impact of rhetoric,
finding patterns in the past, writing analytically, connecting
current events to historical precedents, igniting passion through
research, and exploring ethics and morals--"Making History Mine"
offers young adolescents a window to the wider world. This
comprehensive volume gives teachers and students a solid framework
for exploring and understanding history, including how to analyze
primary source documents, extrapolate themes, and detect bias in a
historian's argument. A one-page description at the beginning of
each chapter explains the embedded skills and shows how the lessons
correlate to state and national history standards. "Making History
Mine" includes dozens of short activities, in-depth projects,
guiding questions, and effective strategies to help teachers bring
history to life in the classroom. Students will learn how to
imagine themselves in the past, making decisions that changed the
world. Through role playing, debates, and service learning they
will gain the skills to make their own histories count.
In "Selfless Cinema?", Sarah Cooper maps out the power relations of
making, and viewing, documentaries in ethical terms. The ethics of
filmmaking are often examined on largely legalistic terms,
dominated by issues of consent, responsibility, and participants'
or film-makers' rights, but Cooper approaches four representative
French film-makers - Jean Rouch, Chris Marker, Raymond Depardon,
and Agnes Varda - in a far less juridical way, drawing on the
ethical philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. She argues that, in spite
of Levinas' iconoclastic, anti-ocular thinking, his concept of
visage is richly applicable to film, and especially to documentary.

Since the early 1950s, Chris Marker has embraced different
filmmaking styles as readily as he has new technologies, and has
broadened conceptions of the documentary in distinctly personal
ways. He has travelled around the world, tracking political
upheavals and historic events, as well as unearthing the stories
buried under official reporting. This globetrotting filmmaker
testifies to his six decades on the move through a passionate
devotion to the moving image. Yet from the outset, his filmic
images reveal a fascination with stillness. It is at this juncture
of mobility and immobility that Sarah Cooper situates her
comprehensive study of Marker's films. She pays attention to the
central place that photographs occupy in his work, as well as to
the emergence in his filming of statuary, painting and other static
images, including the film still, and his interest in fixed frame
shooting. She engages with key debates in photographic and film
theory in order to argue that a different conception of time
emerges from his filmic explorations of stasis. In detailed
readings of each of his films, including Le souvenir d'un avenir
andLa Jetee, Sans soleil and Level 5, Cooper charts Marker's
concern with mortality in varied historical and geographical
contexts, which embraces the fragility of the human race, along
with that of the planet. -- .

seem more man-like, which will probably lead to a quick promotion!

As the cinematic experience becomes subsumed into today's
ubiquitous technologies of seeing, contemporary artworks lift the
cinematic out of the immateriality of the film screen and separate
it into its physical components within the gallery space. How to
read these reformulations of the cinematic medium - and their
critique of what it is and has been? In Theorizing Cinema Through
Contemporary Art: Expanding Cinema, leading film theorists consider
artworks that incorporate, restage, and re-present cinema's
configuration of the key categories of space, experience,
presence/absence, production and consumption, technology, myth,
perception, event, and temporality, so interrogating the creation,
appraisal, and evolution of film theory as channeled through
contemporary art. This book takes film theory as a blueprint for
the moving image, and juxtaposes it with artworks that render
cinema as a material object. In the process, it unfolds a complex
relationship between a theory and a practice that have commonly
been seen as virtually incompatible, renewing our understanding of
each and, more to the point, their interactions.
This book explores regulatory conundrums around adolescent sexual
health, abortion and assisted reproductive technologies in the UK.
In doing so, it seeks to examine the various stages at which
women's reproductive health comes into contact with government
action and assesses how these legal and policy fields are shaped
through the conceptual lens of policy networks. Transformed
expectations of women's roles, along with developed biological
capabilities and understandings of gender and sexuality have driven
an increasingly complex politics of sex and reproduction. The book
argues that assumed medial control over these issues is
overshadowed by government calculations of cost-effectiveness.
Moreover, decisions on the design of programmes and levels of
access continually reflect traditional family formation. The
outcome is unsurprisingly the marginalisation of women in publicly
funded healthcare, but with a clear further impact on gender and
sex minorities. COVID-19 has disrupted these dynamics further,
altering the manner in which previously inhibited patients engage
with the NHS. As the pandemic recedes it has become more timely
than ever to consider the future of gendered healthcare in the UK,
and to question the likelihood of long term change in the ability
of patients to inform health policy decisions. The book will appeal
to scholars and students of gender and health policy, law and
politics, as well as healthcare practitioners.
From documentary to art-house cinema - and from an abundance of
onscreen images to their complete absence - films that experiment
variously with narration, voice-over and soundscapes do not only
engage viewers' thoughts and senses. They also make an appeal to
visualise more than is perceptible on screen. This book explores
the extraordinary ways in which film can stimulate and direct the
image-making capacity of the imagination. Bringing together an
international range of films with debates in philosophy, film
theory, literary scholarship and cognitive psychology, author Sarah
Cooper charts the key processes that serve the imagining of images
in the light of the mind. Through its navigation of a labile and
vivid mental terrain, this innovative work makes a profound
contribution to the study of spectatorship.

Founded in a perspective that speaks to the diversity of contexts
and processes used across Canada, this work is nevertheless firmly
grounded in theory, offering an in-depth analysis geared toward
advanced study in community practice. This depth is further

exploring issues of poverty and environmental activism; community
work with immigrants and refugees, and with trans communities;
feminist community organizing as well as organizing with persons
with disabilities and with members of linguistic communities; and,
finally, artsbased community work with the elderly. This book is
published in English. - S'il reflete une diversite de contextes et
de processus mis en oeuvre partout au Canada, cet ouvrage est

environnemental; le travail communautaire aupres des immigrants et
des refugies et avec les communautes de personnes trans;
l'organisation de la communaute feministe ainsi que celle des
personnes handicapees ou celle des membres de communautes
linguistiques, et enfin, le travail communautaire axe sur les arts
