Time and the Rhythms of Emancipatory Education: Rethinking the temporal complexity of self and society (Theorizing Education)
by Michel Alhadeff-JonesTime and the Rhythms of Emancipatory Education argues that by rethinking the way we relate to time, we can fundamentally rethink the way we conceive education. Beyond the contemporary rhetoric of acceleration, speed, urgency or slowness, this book provides an epistemological, historical and theoretical framework that will serve as a comprehensive resource for critical reflection on the relationship between the experience of time and emancipatory education. Drawing upon time and rhythm studies, complexity theories and educational research, Alhadeff-Jones reflects upon the temporal and rhythmic dimensions of education in order to (re)theorize and address current societal and educational challenges. The book is divided into three parts. The first begins by discussing the specificities inherent to the study of time in educational sciences. The second contextualizes the evolution of temporal constraints that determine the ways education is institutionalized, organized, and experienced. The third and final part questions the meanings of emancipatory education in a context of temporal alienation. This is the first book to provide a broad overview of European and North-American theories that inform both the ideas of time and rhythm in educational sciences, from school instruction, curriculum design and arts education, to vocational training, lifelong learning and educational policies. It will be of key interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of philosophy of education, sociology of education, history of education, psychology, curriculum and learning theory, and adult education.
Theodore Gericault, Painting Black Bodies: Confrontations and Contradictions (Routledge Research in Art and Race)
by Albert AlhadeffThis book examines Théodore Géricault’s images of black men, women and children who suffered slavery’s trans-Atlantic passage in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, including his 1819 painting The Raft of the Medusa. The book focuses on Géricault’s depiction of black people, his approach towards slavery, and the voices that advanced or denigrated them. By turning to documents, essays and critiques, both before and after Waterloo (1815), and, most importantly, Géricault’s own oeuvre, this study explores the fetters of slavery that Gericault challenged—alongside a growing number of abolitionists—overtly or covertly. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, race and ethnic studies and students of modernism.

Pardon and Peace
by Alfred Wilson C.P.Laymen's Guide to getting the full spiritual and mental benefits from Confession.Father Alfred Wilson, a pastor of souls and popular spiritual writer, wrote that the psychological benefits of Confession are of a piece with its moral benefits-and can only be fully enjoyed when the penitent approaches the sacrament in the proper spirit. In Pardon and Peace, originally published back in 1946, Father Wilson captivated audiences with insights like these:--Find yourself confessing the same sins over and over? Here's the reason--and helpful advice.--Types of inaccurate confession.--If your examination of conscience tends to be a lengthy ordeal then here's what you're doing wrong.--Two chief considerations for weighing the gravity of a sin.--Three conditions that must be present for a sin to be mortal.--Four guidelines for confessing venial sins.--Common excuses for avoiding Confession.--How to confess a sin of impurity.--"Nothing to tell"? You might not be searching properly."Answers all your questions, and not only that, any others you could possibly think of about Confession."--Caryll Houselander"A clear, sound, eminently sensible exposition of the why and how of one of Christ's often-neglected sacramental gifts. Both Catholics who seldom approach this sacrament and Catholics for whom it is an established part of their spiritual lives will find a lot that is helpful and inspiring here, as will priests and catechists."--Russell Shaw, Author, Why We Need Confession"An intelligent and compassionate explanation of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and of all aspects of penance and the forgiveness of sin. Very helpful for younger Catholics, for older Catholics, and questioning non-Catholics."--Fr. Benedict Groeschel, CFR, Author, Arise from Darkness
