Document Raj: Writing and Scribes in Early Colonial South India
by Bhavani RamanHistorians of British colonial rule in India have noted both the place of military might and the imposition of new cultural categories in the making of Empire, but Bhavani Raman, in "Document Raj," uncovers a lesser-known story of power: the power of bureaucracy. Drawing on extensive archival research in the files of the East India CompanyOCOs administrative offices in Madras, she tells the story of a bureaucracy gone awry in a fever of documentation practices that grew ever more abstractOCoand the power, both economic and cultural, this created. aIn order to assert its legitimacy and value within the British Empire, the East India Company was diligent about record keeping. Raman shows, however, that the sheer volume of their document production allowed colonial managers to subtly but substantively manipulate records for their own ends, increasingly drawing the real and the recorded further apart. While this administrative sleight of hand increased the companyOCOs reach and power within the Empire, it also bolstered profoundly new orientations to language, writing, memory, and pedagogy for the officers and Indian subordinates involved. Immersed in a subterranean world of delinquent scribes, translators, village accountants, and entrepreneurial fixers, "Document Raj" maps the shifting boundaries of the legible and illegible, the legal and illegitimate, that would usher India into the modern world.

Doing language im Deutschunterricht: Eine Analyse sprachbezogener Adressierungen in diskursiver Praxis
by Denise BüttnerDie Studie leistet einen empirisch-rekonstruktiven Beitrag zu einer machtkritisch ausgerichteten Fachdidaktik. Sie fokussiert den Deutschunterricht und die darin stattfindenden Interaktionen als diskursive Praxis, in der ein spezifisches Wissen in, über und angesichts von Sprache relevant gemacht wird. Für Subjektivierung ist jenes Wissen hochgradig wirkmächtig und bleibt den Akteur*innen im Prozess der schulischen Enkulturation doch größtenteils unbewusst. Darin liegt ein hohes Potential für die institutionelle (Re-)Produktion von Linguizismus.Vor diesem Hintergrund eröffnet die Studie einen Blick auf sprachbezogene Adressierungen, die in charakteristischer Weise vom Fach selbst ausgehen. Sie werden in (fach)didaktischen und pädagogischen Programmatiken breit kommuniziert und zeichnen sich bis auf die Ebene unterrichtlicher Praktiken ab. Um das Zusammenspiel von fachspezifischer Adressierung und Praktiken des ‚doing language‘ möglichst eng aufeinander beziehen und in rekonstruktionslogisch plausibilisierte Zusammenhänge bringen zu können, liegt der Arbeit ein wissenssoziologisch-diskursanalytischer Ansatz zugrunde.

Dostoevsky and the Epileptic Mode of Being
by Paul FungFor Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-81), who lived with epileptic seizures for more than thirty years, illness is an ineradicable part of existence. Epilepsy in his writings denotes both a set of physical symptoms and a state of survival in which the protagonists incessantly try to articulate, theorize, or master what is ungraspable in their everyday experience. Their attempts to deal with what they cannot control or comprehend results in disappointment, or what Dostoevsky called a mystical terror. Dostoevsky's heroes are unable fully to understand this state, and their existence becomes 'epileptic' in so far as self-knowledge and self-coincidence are never achieved. Fung explores new critical pathways by reexamining five of Dostoevsky's post-Siberian novels. Drawing on insights from writers including Benjamin, Blanchot, Freud, Lacan and Nietzsche, the book takes epilepsy as a trope for discussing the unspeakable moments in the texts, and is intended for students and scholars who are interested in the subject of modernity, critique of the visual, and dialogues between philosophy and literature. Paul Fung is Assistant Professor in English at Hang Seng Management College, Hong Kong.
Doubts about English, Expressions and Phrasal Verbs
by Sergio Casado RodríguezIntroduction I like quick and simple explanations as you will appreciate. Especially when it comes to grammatical issues, in spite of the fact that there may be cases when one has to extend things a little further. I believe that things are learned little by little, and in studying foreign languages it is better to learn a more reduced usage of concepts and then widen it with the passing of time. I was always against having to study a mountain of rules from start to finish, then when the time comes to use them the rules are not going to be useful to me because I don't have a good command of the language. In the first part of the book I have compiled 29 doubts that my students frequently bring up to me, or that I have had myself. The 29 are going to be of great help because they come up frequently when it comes time to use them in conversation as well as when it is time to take an exam. Regarding the number of English expressions that I have chosen, I have noted a number of them that I feel are adequate, without being excessive or lacking. It is common to see the success of those posts or videos that have 400 phrasal verbs, but let's be honest. Not only will it be that no one is going to memorize those phrasal verbs, but there will be few people that will get to read them all.
Drama in the Language Classroom: What Every ESL Teacher Needs to Know
by Carmela Romano Gillette Deric McNishDrama in the Language Classroom weaves together cutting-edge research and practices from the fields of theater and TESOL.

In addition, they outline the para- and extra-linguistic techniques that can improve expression and meaningful communication. Each section includes sample activities, such as script analysis for improving fluency, and assessment suggestions. Readers do not need to have experience with performance or drama to learn how to incorporate these practices into the ESL classroom.

Dreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another Language
by Katherine Russell RichAn eye-opening and courageous memoir that explores what learning a new language can teach us about distant worlds and, ultimately, ourselves. After miraculously surviving a serious illness, Katherine Rich found herself at an impasse in her career as a magazine editor. She spontaneously accepted a freelance writing assignment to go to India, where she found herself thunderstruck by the place and the language, and before she knew it she was on her way to Udaipur, a city in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, in order to learn Hindi. Rich documents her experiences--ranging from the bizarre to the frightening to the unexpectedly exhilarating--using Hindi as the lens through which she is given a new perspective not only on India, but on the radical way the country and the language itself were changing her. Fascinated by the process, she went on to interview linguistics experts around the world, reporting back from the frontlines of the science wars on what happens in the brain when we learn a new language. She brings both of these experiences together seamlessly in Dreaming in Hindi, a remarkably unique and thoughtful account of self-discovery.
Dreams of Lovers and Lies of Poets: Poetry, Knowledge and Desire in the "Roman De La Rose"
by Sylvia HuotThe Roman de la Rose explicitly offers an 'art of love', while also repeatedly asserting that the experience of love is impossible to put into words. An examination of the intertextual density of the Rose , with its citations and adaptations of a range of Latin authors, shows that the discourse of bodily desire, pleasure, and trauma emerges indirectly from the juxtaposition and conflation of sources. Huot's new book focuses on Guillaume de Lorris's use of the Ovidian corpus, and on Jean de Meun's dazzling orchestration of allusions to a wider range of Latin writers: principally Ovid, Boethius, and Virgil, but also including John of Salisbury and Alain de Lille. In both parts of the Rose , poetic allegory is a language that can express the unspeakable and the ineffable.
Dual Language Education in the US: Rethinking Pedagogy, Curricula, and Teacher Education to Support Dual Language Learning for All (Routledge Research in Language Education)
by Pablo C. Ramírez Christian J. FaltisOriginally published as a special issue of the journal Theory into Practice, this text examines innovative practices and research relating to Dual Language Education (DLE) in the US.

By investigating the ways in which schools and teachers have ensured provision of an effective DLE curriculum, chapters identify pedagogies and learning environments which support dual language learning, and consider how policy, curricula, and teacher education can be designed to promote social justice and diversity through broader access to dual programs. This book will be of interest to graduate and post graduate students, researchers, academics, professionals and policy makers in the field of multicultural education, international & comparative education, bilingualism studies, education policy and pedagogy.
