Inbunden, Engelska, 2008

Art for art's sake addresses the relationship between art and life. Although it has long been argued that aestheticism aims to de-humanize art, this volume seeks to consider the counterclaim that such de-humanization can also lead to re-humanization and to a deepened relationship between the aesthetic sphere and the world at large.

This book distinguishes itself from previous scholarship by offering an inclusive and comprehensive treatment of urban walking from 1800 to the present. Divided into three sections—geography, genius, and gender—the introduction establishes the origins of the flâneur and flâneuse in early foundational texts and explores later works that reimagine flânerie in terms of these same three themes. The volume’s contributors provide new and global perspectives on urban walking practices through their treatment of a variety of genres (literature, film, journalism, autobiography, epistolary correspondence, photography, fashion, music, digital media) and regions (Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East). This volume theorizes well-known urban characters like the idler, lounger, dandy, badaud, promeneuse, shopper, collector, and detective and also proposes new iterations of the flâneur/flâneuse as fashion model, gaucho, cruiser, musician, vampire, postcolonial activist, video game avatar and gamer.

Teaching Literature in the World Language Classroom
A Practical Guide that Uses Bloom’s Taxonomy to Enhance Learning
Häftad, Engelska, 2025

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Teaching Literature in the World Language Classroom presents a five-stage methodology for teaching literature in language curriculum that repurposes Bloom’s original and revised taxonomy to promote the language acquisition process and spark other types of learning.The first step of text selection, preparation, and initiation asks students to: recognize familiar words, structures, and concepts; contextualize the reading; and remember the main details of the text. The second stage of beginning literary analysis gets target-language learners to describe, identify, and understand the basic elements of plot, character, setting, and narration. The third phase of intermediate literary analysis prompts students to interpret, analyze, and examine major themes, key passages, and the overall commentary. The fourth step of advanced literary analysis teaches students to synthesize multiple and conflicting interpretations, compare assigned texts across units or themes, and evaluate works through essay writing. The fifth stage of reflective and creative engagement challenges students to relate the assigned texts to themselves through personal and intercultural reflection, create new artistic works, and produce unique texts in the target language. The concluding chapter showcases all five stages of the methodology by applying them to a sample text, thereby inviting world language educators to assess the potential usefulness of Comfort and Scharf’s approach to their own language courses.This is an ideal resource for world language educators teaching literature as well as undergraduate and graduate education students focusing on target-language literature instruction and its role in the language acquisition process.

Cien años de identidad: Introducción a la literatura latinoamericana del siglo XX [One Hundred Years of Identity: Introduction to Twentieth-Century Latin American Literature] is an advanced Spanish textbook and Latin American literature anthology, guiding students through the critical analysis of fourteen literary and filmic texts published between 1889 and 1995, including works from Jorge Luis Borges, Isabel Allende, and Gabriel García Márquez that represent some of the seminal works of Latin America. The textbook is designed to introduce students to the richness of twentieth-century Latin American literature and culture while building their skills in textual analysis through an examination of the theme of identity. The featured texts examine the complex and multifaceted topic of identity as the authors and protagonists struggle to understand themselves, determine their relationship to the world and others, and give meaning and significance to their existence. The textbook guides students step-by-step through critical analysis by presenting a range of tools and progressing from simple to more complex exercises and activities throughout the book. It is divided into four units based on various types of identity formation: (1) racial, ethnic, gender, and class identity; (2) existential(ist) identity; (3) temporal and spatial identity; (4) political and sexual identity. Serving as both a Latin American literature anthology and an upper-level Spanish textbook, Cien años de identidad aims to hone reading and interpretive strategies while also improving Spanish vocabulary and comprehension, oral and written communication, and cultural competency.
