Colonial Encounter

The article converses how the culture and history of the Indians and Nigerians were mutilated by the colonists by creating the adverse stereotypes of the indigenous people as uncivilized whose history and societal ideals were annulled as mock and vicious that required the instructive mediation of the Europeans and, correspondingly how the dramatists of the two said countries interrupt and oust overriding and tyrannical European data. I have explored in the article through which technique the biculturalism in Rabindranath Tagore and Wole Soyinka's temperament and background enabled them both to develop a style of syncretic dramaturgy for the cultural relations that imperialism created in their nations. Primarily expert in abilities that empowered them to accomplish noteworthy functions in the lives of their countries, together Tagore and Soyinka was particularly ingrained in their specific cultures. Though the authors did not discard the past, they did not urge a return to it.

This chapter will address the teaching of “post-colonial Englishes,” focusing on the sociopolitical and cultural conditions that enabled changes in English as it was used during, and after, the colonial encounter. To capture the complexity of linguistic hybridities associated with plural identities, our disciplinary discourses of the global use and acquisition of English must (i) liberate the field of World Englishes from the orthodoxies of the past and instead connect it to a more general theory of the sociolinguistics of globalization, and, especially (ii) bring into focus local forms shaped by the local logics of practice. This chapter discusses specific examples of the practice of creativity in grammar, discourse, and sociolinguistic use of World English varieties.

Society Today

The task of analyzing European society may be approached from many angles. The one chosen here is a global comparative perspective, an effort to step outside the tempting but myopic and often misleading familiarity of inside experience. Let us look at European society today as part of world history. What does it mean to grasp the present as history? It means to look out for how the current situation is related to the past, and, above all, to the future. We shall here try to locate Europe in the history of modernity, and, secondly, in the dynamics of the world systems, systems in plural, as I shall explain later.

Resumo: Este artigo se interessa pela cultura escolar, mais especificamente pela produção e circulação de livros didáticos e paradidáticos. Ele se insere na área da História da Educação, assim também como no campo do Ensino de História. O objetivo deste artigo é estudar a representação do passado na produção imagética deste Atlas que foi escrito e comercializado no ano de 1971. Utilizamos o método iconográfico-iconológico proposto por Peter Burke para a análise de imagens, bem como os postulados de Circe Bittencourt e Kazumi Munakata sobre produção e circulação de materiais didáticos. Os resultados alcançados apontam que a representação visual de agentes históricos foi utilizada com a intenção de criar um cidadão brasileiro a partir de três baluartes: religião, pátria e família. Por outro lado, a ausência de determinados sujeitos históricos como negros, mulheres e indígenas revelou uma noção branca, masculina, europeia e católica da formação do Brasil contemporâneo.Palavras-chave: EMC, Livro didático, História, Brasil.Abstract: The theme of this research is interested in school culture, more specifically in the concern with the production and circulation of textbooks and accompanying materials. This theme is inserted in the History of Education, as well as in the field of History Teaching. The objective of this article aims to study the representation of the past in the imagery production in a Modern Atlas of MCE, which was written and marketed in 1971. As a research procedure, we used the iconographic-iconological method proposed by Peter Burke for image analysis, as well as Circe Bittencourt and Kazumi Munakata’s studies on the production and circulation of textbooks. The expected results indicate to us that the visual representation of historical agents was used with the intention of creating a Brazilian citizen from three bulwarks: religion, homeland, and family. On the other hand, the absence of certain historical subjects such as blacks, women and indigenous people revealed a white, European, male, and catholic notion of contemporary Brazil's formation.Keywords: MCE, Textbook, History, Brazil.

Representations Of Women

That many studies in African and imperial history neglect women and gender is a commonplace. Using a case-study – the British Cape Colony and its frontier zones – this article attempts to demonstrate some consequences of this neglect. It argues, firstly, that it generates empirical inaccuracies as a result of the insignificance accorded to gender differentiation and to women themselves. Secondly, representations of women as unimportant, and men as ungendered, result in flawed analysis of both men and the colonial encounter. This view is argued in detail for two events: an 1825 slave rebellion and an 1856–7 millenarian movement. The article concludes that if gender and half the adult populace are marginalized in this way, the price is frequently interpretations which have limited purchase on the past.

 Since symbols of early cultural relations between Europe and East Asia are important, we are striving to restore the image of Augustin Hallerstein (1703–1774) in China and earn his legacy its appropriate position in the history of the Qing dynasty next to other great Jesuits like Adam Shall von Bell (1591–1666), Ferdinand Verbiest (1623–1688), or Ignatius Kogler (1680–1746). A two-year EU project made possible the publication of a monograph in English, which was translated into Chinese and published in China in February 2015. Wider popularization of his achievements should be beneficial to Slovenia as well as to China, where he did his work. Such common heroes of the past could often be used to promote better understanding and cooperation between China and Slovenia. Through strong connections with Korean scholars he gained a high reputation in Korea as well.

RESUMEN: La obra del escritor italiano Leonardo Sciascia es, en su globalidad y en su profundidad, una continua refl exión acerca de las (in)justicias y de la búsqueda de la verdad. En distintas ocasiones, sus palabras se han dirigido hacia algunos episodios bélicos del pasado: las verdades, como también las mentiras, han sido utilizadas por Leonardo Sciascia con el fi n de realizar un verdadero tratado sobre las imposturas surgidas durante los confl ictos civiles. El presente trabajo pretende analizar una de sus obras más polémica, L’Antimonio y marcar las relaciones literarias y culturales que han protagonizado desde esta obra la historia social y civil de España e Italia.ABSTRACT: The work of the Italian writer Leonardo Sciascia is, in its globality and its depth, a continuous refl ection on the (in) justices and the search for truth. On several occasions, his words were directed towards some warlike episodes on the past: truths as lies, have been used by Leonardo Sciascia in order to make a real treatise on the deceptions caused by civil confl icts. This paper aims to analyze one of his most controversial work, L’Antimonio and marks the literary and cultural relations that have shaped the social and civil history of Spain and Italy.

It is generally accepted that history is an element of culture and the historian a member of society, thus, in Croce's aphorism, that the only true history is contemporary history. It follows from this that when there occur great changes in the contemporary scene, there must also be great changes in historiography, that the vision not merely of the present but also of the past must change.

It is perhaps one of the most important characteristics of the past decade in astronomy that the evolution of some major classes of astronomical objects has become accessible to detailed research. The theory of the evolution of individual stars has developed into a substantial body of quantitative investigations. The evolution of galaxies, particularly of our own, has clearly become a subject for serious research. Even the history of the solar system, this close-by intriguing puzzle, may soon make the transition from being a subject of speculation to being a subject of detailed study in view of the fast flow of new data obtained with new techniques, including space-craft.

Purpose The current “specific language impairment” and “developmental language disorder” discussion might lead to important changes in how we refer to children with language disorders of unknown origin. The field has seen other changes in terminology. This article reviews many of these changes. Method A literature review of previous clinical labels was conducted, and possible reasons for the changes in labels were identified. Results References to children with significant yet unexplained deficits in language ability have been part of the scientific literature since, at least, the early 1800s. Terms have changed from those with a neurological emphasis to those that do not imply a cause for the language disorder. Diagnostic criteria have become more explicit but have become, at certain points, too narrow to represent the wider range of children with language disorders of unknown origin. Conclusions The field was not well served by the many changes in terminology that have transpired in the past. A new label at this point must be accompanied by strong efforts to recruit its adoption by clinical speech-language pathologists and the general public.

Abstract. Background: Medical students are at high risk of suicidal ideation. Aim: We aimed to obtain information on suicidal ideation among medical students in Dammam located in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the College of Medicine affiliated with Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Suicidal ideation in the past 12 months was assessed based on responses to four questions in the depression subscale of the General Health Questionnaire 28 (GHQ-28). In addition, data were collected to examine the association of suicidal ideation with various factors. Results: We found that 1 in 3 medical students in the study had suicidal ideation in the past 12 months, while around 40% had lifetime suicidal ideation. Suicidal ideation was associated with feelings of parental neglect, history of physical abuse, and dissatisfaction with academic performance. Limitations: The cross-sectional nature of this study limits its ability to determine causality regarding suicidal ideation. Conclusion: These rates are considerably high when compared with rates from studies in other countries around the world. This study provides a reference in the field of suicidology for this region of Saudi Arabia.
