Exploring Aesthetic Approaches to Arts Integration: Providing Opportunities for Productive, Holistic and Inclusive Learning in Early Childhood and Primary Education (Routledge Research in Arts Education)
by Marina Sotiropoulou-ZormpalaThis book re‑examines the role of arts integration in the preschool and primary school curricula, arguing for the creation of an educational environment where children can process every taught subject as an aesthetic stimulus.Deriving from the author’s earlier work, this scholarly volume attempts to develop novel criteria for arts integration curricula, through examining the effects of different indicative arts integration activities implemented in preschool and primary classrooms. Taking a pedagogical approach, chapters enable readers to connect theoretical insights, implementation strategies and corresponding methodological guidelines. Ultimately, this book argues that the aesthetic integration of the arts into the curricula of preschool and primary schools has three distinct, important effects on the educational process: fostering a more creative and productive education through a multilevel approach, creating opportunities for holistic education by enhancing children’s multifaceted learning involvement and promoting multimodal and inclusive education by providing diverse resources of meaning‑making.This book will be of interest to researchers, postgraduate students and academics in the fields of primary education, curriculum studies, teacher education and arts education. Educational policymakers and teacher trainers may also benefit from this volume more broadly.

Exploring Anne Frank and Difficult Life Stories (Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory)
by Kirsten Kumpf Baele Waltraud Maierhofer Doyle StevickThis volume, grounded in the Diary of a Young Girl and its continued appeal to readers of all ages, sees both promise in the relevance of Anne Frank’s story in the twenty‑first century, and potential for new ways of teaching her story and those of other genocides and human right violations. Engaging Anne Frank with these other cases clarifies the distinct nature of the Holocaust, and we build on the fact that the diary touches areas of deep interest, especially to young people, and that it has been read as a monument to resisting hate, which is itself a prerequisite for educating citizens of more diverse and inclusive societies. The diverse contributions and viewpoints in this volume illustrate how rich the ongoing engagement with Anne Frank and her legacy remain.

Exploring Character Through Structural Metaphor: A Guide for Actors and Directors (ISSN)
by John Gribas Angeline UnderwoodExploring Character Through Structural Metaphor will help performers discover new and valuable insights into the characters they play. Grounded in a contemporary approach to understanding and applying the power of metaphor, it offers a practical guide for both actors and directors. This book introduces the idea of metaphor as a way of thinking rather than simply as clever comparison or figurative language. It demonstrates limitations of ways metaphor has traditionally been used in character development and presents a method for applying structural metaphor to discover rich, in-depth character insights. For directors, the model can serve as an option for guiding character analysis that is less individualistic and actor-specific and more wholistic and cast-inclusive, promoting stronger overall performance unity and production cohesion. In addition to offering a clear, followable guide for character analysis, the authors draw on personal experience to vividly demonstrate how applying this method for character analysis could impact performance and production. This book will be a useful addition to an actor’s or director’s set of character development resources.
