An extraordinary tribute to the visions of Joyce Canaan, a vibrant academic activist who touched so many with her intellect, her acuity, her humanity and her love. Anyone interested in critical pedagogy has to read this inspiring book that takes so many slices on what the university has become and what it still might be.(Professor Michael Burawoy, University of California, Berkeley)This Festschrift is a beautiful tribute to Joyce Canaan, a woman whose revolutionary intellect and commitment should be treasured and studied, not only remembered. Each contribution illuminates her voice and expands on her spirit. The result is a volume that traces how we learn in the pursuit for justice, through building and sharing knowledge within a community of struggle. This is an important volume for any student of revolutionary and feminist education.(Sara Carpenter, Department of Educational Studies, University of Alberta)After the great global «pause», this volume presents an exciting look forward through the memory of boundary crosser, Joyce Canaan, whose life¿s work scrutinized the impact of neoliberal regimes of accountability and the academy¿s compliance with these processes. Collectively, the contributors warn of cultural myopia: that cultural near-sightedness that stands in the way of critical engagement with exclusionary mechanisms at both the pedagogic and economic levels.(Sheila Landers Macrine, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth)Joyce Canaan¿s life illustrates what it means to be angry at social injustice and to challenge it through theory and practice, spirit and emotion, intellectual rigour, love and humour. This collection movingly and rigorously celebrates her personal contribution through engaging with contemporary issues for critical pedagogy today.(Jim Crowther, Honorary Fellow, University of Edinburgh)Critical Pedagogy and Emancipation: A Festschrift in Memory of Joyce Canaan offers its readers a powerful vision of how radical educational praxis based on genuine dialogue and solidarity can «humanise» both learners¿ and teachers¿ experience of education and invigorate revolutionary and socialist democratic politics of the Left. The book is written as a celebration of the legacy of Professor Joyce Canaan (1950¿2018), a radical intellectual and feminist. The contributors take her project of critical pedagogical scholar-activism as their common point of departure, developing themes ¿ drawing in particular on public sociology, social movement and popular education, as well as critical pedagogy ¿ around critiques of the neoliberal university, popular and working-class educational movements, feminism, anti-racism, climate justice, critical theory and politically engaged teaching, learning and research.

In spite of recession, austerity and pandemics, Ireland has demonstrated an extraordinary degree of resilience, becoming one of the most successful economies in Europe and developing into a society remarkably at ease with itself. This book argues that the seeds of this achievement were sown between the mid-1950s and 1960s, when a Second Irish Revival took place which was comparable to the earlier Celtic Revival of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.At the heart of this revival were three men: T. K. Whitaker, the youthful Secretary of the Department of Finance, Seán Ó Riada, musician and composer, and Thomas Kinsella, poet, translator and academic. Ó Riada and Kinsella were close friends in Dublin¿s emerging artistic world of the 1950s but Kinsella was also Whitaker¿s private secretary in the Department of Finance.The three men, although very different in background and personality, shared a deep knowledge and love of Irish culture, heritage, history and language, but they were also determined to study and absorb the best of what the world could offer in their respective fields of endeavour and it is argued that this combination was a critical factor in their contribution to Irish society.The book will review the arguments of the sceptics who disagreed with Ireland¿s embrace of globalisation and will conclude with a speculative account of how the Mandarin, the Musician and the Mage might like to see Ireland develop in the 2020s.

Finalist ICAS Book Prize 2023 German Language EditionGaststättennamen sind nicht nur ¿Schall und Rauch¿, sondern sie haben bis in die phonologische, graphische, morphologische und semantische Ebene hinein eine multiple Funktion. Ihnen wird allerdings nach wie vor nur wenig Beachtung geschenkt. Das Buch behandelt Gegenwart und Geschichte deutscher und chinesischer Gaststättennamen umfassend und auf theoretischer wie praktischer Ebene. Die Aufbereitung erfolgt mittels einer synchronen und diachronen linguistischen Analyse, ergänzt durch kulturgeschichtliche Aspekte. Die empirische Untersuchung basiert auf einem eigens zusammengestellten Korpus von 1.000 deutschen und 1.000 chinesischen Gaststättennamen.

Le mystère de la violence semble tout entier contenu dans le récit du chapitre 4 de la Genèse. Il transforme en affrontement le lien de sang entre Caïn et Abel, deux frères que rien n¿aurait dû séparer. Alors qüaucun événement ne laisse supposer la moindre rivalité entre eux, ce déchaînement de violence physique sembleconsubstantiel à la fratrie.Comment interpréter l¿énigmatique interpellation divine qui précède l¿irrémédiable geste fratricide ? Est-ce vraiment parce qüAbel est son frère que Caïn le tue ? Si oui, comment expliquer que la violence préexiste au chapitre 4 et subsiste bien au-delà du récit de Caïn et Abel, dans des contextes différents et sous d¿autres formes ? Si, au contraire, la violence ne trouve pas son origine dans cette fratrie, son traitement en Gn 4 ne renverrait-il pas l¿homme à sa propre violence, au sein d¿une humanité déjà fragilisée ?En faisant appel aux outils de l¿exégèse biblique, cet ouvrage apporte de nouvelles réponses à ces questions anthropologiques et propose une lecture originale d¿un texte connu mais souvent mal compris. Dans un monde déchiré par des guerres fratricides, ce rapport tendu entre violence et fraternité demeure un sujet brûlant d¿actualité.

«Michelle Leese's book is a must-read for those interested in the German impersonal passive. Based on an experimental study of almost 400 zero-argument passives she convincingly shows that this allegedly "exceptional" passive is the very core from which all werden-passives in their meaning as "event-focused action" are derived.»(Petra M. Vogel, Professor of German Linguistics, University of Siegen, Germany)«This book presents a vast amount of original data to confront a glaring weakness of the aspect analysis of the German passive: if the actional passive is telic, why is the impersonal passive of the type Es wurde getanzt atelic? The answer given is a revelation delightful in its simplicity.»(Dr Christopher Beedham, Honorary Lecturer, Department of German, University of St Andrews, Scotland)Actional passives are conventionally considered to be the result of a voice analysis conversion process. They are said to derive from semantically identical underlying actives, even though most passives do not contain the agent ¿ the entity carrying out the action ¿ that would be crucial to such a conversion. Beedham¿s aspect analysis offered an alternative perspective which discarded any notion of a mandatory connection to the active, and instead proposed that passive formation requires only a lexically telic verb, compositional telicity and a patient (affected entity) subject.This book challenges both these analyses via an empirical investigation into the somewhat neglected impersonal passive in German of the type Es wurde getanzt, which, as a zero-argument, atelic construction, exists as an exception to both the voice and aspect analysis rules. Using the theoretical framework of Saussurean structuralism and Beedham¿s «method of exceptions and their correlations», this book presents a new, «event-focused» analysis of both this impersonal passive and the German actional passive in general; plus, it proposes that since Es wurde getanzt, as the barest form of passive and the closest realisation of the werden + ge-V-t core of all passives, is atelic, this werden-passive core too is atelic.
