Cultural Encounters examines how 'otherness' has been constituted, communicated and transformed in cultural representation. Covering a diverse range of media including film, TV, advertisements, video, photographs, painting, novels, poetry, newspapers and material objects, the contributors, who include Ludmilla Jordanova and Ivan Karp, explore the cultural politics of Europe's encounters with Brazil, India, Israel, Australia and Africa, examining the ways in which visual and textual art forms operate in their treatment of cultural difference.

This text examines literacy, politics and social change, the ethnography of literacy and literacy in education, and explores a new critical framework.

This book develops a new theory of multi-parameter singular integrals associated with Carnot-Caratheodory balls. Brian Street first details the classical theory of Calderon-Zygmund singular integrals and applications to linear partial differential equations. He then outlines the theory of multi-parameter Carnot-Caratheodory geometry, where the main tool is a quantitative version of the classical theorem of Frobenius. Street then gives several examples of multi-parameter singular integrals arising naturally in various problems. The final chapter of the book develops a general theory of singular integrals that generalizes and unifies these examples. This is one of the first general theories of multi-parameter singular integrals that goes beyond the product theory of singular integrals and their analogs. Multi-parameter Singular Integrals will interest graduate students and researchers working in singular integrals and related fields.

This book suggests that English teaching has something both to reclaim and renew. Why should young people study a subject called English? This question lies at the heart of this fascinating monograph, which brings together the diverse perspectives of many leading thinkers about English and literacy education. This meticulously researched and well-written collection takes as its starting point the importance of the history of the subject in the formation of its constitution and its boundaries. First and foremost, it proposes that questions of aims and values have informed these choices. Equally, it suggests that returning to these educational questions helps us to understand curriculum and pedagogy in complex ways that a simple focus on content and methods neglects. Curriculum and pedagogy bring learners, teachers, institutions and the wider society into the debate.

This volume contains the proceedings of the virtual AMS Special Session on Harmonic Analysis, held from March 26-27, 2022. Harmonic analysis has gone through rapid developments in the past decade. New tools, including multilinear Kakeya inequalities, broad-narrow analysis, polynomial methods, decoupling inequalities, and refined Strichartz inequalities, are playing a crucial role in resolving problems that were previously considered out of reach. A large number of important works in connection with geometric measure theory, analytic number theory, partial differential equations, several complex variables, etc., have appeared in the last few years. This book collects some examples of this work.
