Chick Flicks: Theories and Memories of the Feminist Film Movement

by B. Ruby Rich

If there was a moment during the sixties, seventies, or eighties that changed the history of the women's film movement, B. Ruby Rich was there. Part journalistic chronicle, part memoir, and 100% pure cultural historical odyssey, Chick Flicks--with its definitive, the-way-it-was collection of essays--captures the birth and growth of feminist film as no other book has done.For over three decades Rich has been one of the most important voices in feminist film criticism. Her presence at film festivals (such as Sundance, where she is a member of the selection committee), her film reviews in the Village Voice, Elle, Out, and the Advocate, and her commentaries on the public radio program "The World" have secured her a place as a central figure in the remarkable history of what she deems "cinefeminism." In the hope that a new generation of feminist film culture might be revitalized by reclaiming its own history, Rich introduces each essay with an autobiographical prologue that describes the intellectual, political, and personal moments from which the work arose. Travel, softball, sex, and voodoo all somehow fit into a book that includes classic Rich articles covering such topics as the antiporn movement, the films of Yvonne Rainer, a Julie Christie visit to Washington, and the historically evocative film Maedchen in Uniform. The result is a volume that traces the development not only of women's involvement in cinema but of one of its key players as well.The first book-length work from Rich--whose stature and influence in the world of film criticism and theory continue to grow--Chick Flicks exposes unexplored routes and forgotten byways of a past that's recent enough to be remembered and far away enough to be memorable.

Chicos de Varsovia: Una hija, un padre y las huellas de la mayor insurrección contra los nazis

by Ana Victoria Wajszczuk

El casi desconocido Levantamiento de Varsovia de 1944 contado desde la historia familiar de la autora. Un relato real donde la voz de los sobrevivientes se mezcla con la historia personal de la búsqueda de los propios orígenes. Una hija y un padre viajan desde la Argentina a buscar lo que queda de esta historia. Y de la suya propia. El Levantamiento de Varsovia fue uno de los movimientos de resistencia más importantes, heroicos y trágicos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Comenzó el 1 de agosto de 1944, y su historia es casi desconocida. Dos meses después, la capital polaca era arrasada hasta sus cimientos por orden de Hitler. Cerca de 150 sobrevivientes entre aquellos jóvenes insurgentes -instruidos en la clandestinidad, organizados en secreto y casi sin armas- llegaron a la Argentina a fines de los años 40 con reputación de héroes. En busca de esas historias, Ana Wajszczuk remonta sus raíces y emprende la aventura junto con su padre en un viaje a la vez íntimo y trascendente, que va de Buenos Aires a Europa. Crónica de viaje, ensayo poético y brillante reconstrucción periodística e histórica, Chicos de Varsovia conmueve y atrapa mientras repone este capítulo olvidado de la historia contemporánea como un cuento de buenas noches al revés: una hija que le narra a su padre la historia desconocida de su familia.

Child-Centred Education (Routledge Library Editions: Education)

by Harold Entwistle

This volume is a critical study of one of today’s most controversial topics in educational theory, setting the many arguments in perspective and clarifying the issues that arise when attention is focused on the learner. The author examines the problems of individual education, the distinctive demands childhood makes on the school and the claims of social education. The related questions of freedom, authority and discipline are then discussed, together with the ways in which curriculum development must take account of the learner’s interests, needs and dispositions in preparing him/her for life. The concept of educating the whole person is critically examined, together with the claim that education for life and the development of personal integrity require an integrated curriculum. Since child-centred educational theory is often dismissed as irrelevant to practice, the book concludes with an assessment of the various limitations which concern with practical activity imposes on educational theorists.

Childhood Leukemia: A Guide for Families, Friends & Caregivers, Fourth Edition

by Nancy Keene

This most complete parent guide covers not only detailed and precise medical information about leukemia and the various treatment options, but also day-to-day practical advice on how to cope with procedures, hospitalization, family and friends, school, social and financial issues, communication, feelings, and, if therapy is not successful, the difficult issues of death and bereavement. Woven among the medical details and the practical advice are the voices of more than 150 parents and children who have lived with leukemia and its treatments. As many parents have already found, advice from "veteran" parents can be a lifeline. Obtaining a basic understanding of topics such as medical terminology, common side effects of chemotherapy, and how to interpret blood counts can help improve quality of life for the whole family. Learning how to develop a partnership with your child's physician can vastly increase a family's peace of mind. Hearing parents describe their own emotional ups and downs, how they coped, and how they molded their family life around hospitalizations is a tremendous comfort. Just knowing that there are other kids on chemotherapy who refuse to eat anything but tacos or who have frequent rages makes one feel less alone. Parents who read this book will encounter medical facts simply explained, advice to ease their daily life, and tools to be a strong advocate for their child. This fourth edition contains significant updates to the information on treatments (including tailoring treatments to children's individual genetic profiles), chemotherapy drugs, stem cell transplants, coping with side effects, and resources. It also contains a personal treatment summary and long-term follow-up guide for your child to keep as a permanent record.

Childhood in Animation: Navigating a Secret World (Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies)

by Jane Batkin

Childhood in Animation: Navigating a Secret World explores how children are viewed in animated cinema and television and examines the screen spaces that they occupy.The image of the child is often a site of conflict, one that has been captured, preserved, and recollected on screen; but what do these representations tell us about the animated child and how do they compare to their real counterparts? Is childhood simply a metaphor for innocence, or something far more complex that encompasses agency, performance, and othering? Childhood in Animation focuses on key screen characters, such as DJ, Norman, Lilo, the Lost Boys, Marji, Parvana, Bluey, Kirikou, Robyn, Mebh, Cartman and Bart, amongst others, to see how they are represented within worlds of fantasy, separation, horror, politics, and satire, as well as viewing childhood itself through a philosophical, sociological, and global lens. Ultimately, this book navigates the rabbit hole of the ‘elsewhere’ to reveal the secret space of childhood, where anything (and everything) is possible.This volume will be of great interest to scholars and students of animation, childhood studies, film and television studies, and psychology and sociology.

Children and Schooling: Issues In Childhood Socialization (Routledge Library Editions: Education)

by Phillip Gammage

The book provides a synthesis of a broadly-based social-psychology of education and bridges the gap between theory and practice in education by emphasising the relationship between research and actuality. The author discusses the major issues in childhood socialisation relating to schooling, achievement and the curriculum, and in so doing makes a sensitive and well-argued case for the social-psychological perspective.He presents a social-psychologist’s view of the interaction between child, school and curriculum, and summarises mainstream psychological contributions to current thinking on achievement, self-esteem and education. He covers areas of social learning and attribution theory not commonly dealt with in education texts, showing that there are major fields of research which have until now been neglected. Children and Schooling is constructed so that its chapters can be used as independent study-guides to specific subjects or read in sequence, each subject inter-related. The text can be treated as an introduction, particularly in view of the notes and comprehensive and apposite scholarly apparatus: and as a spring-board for serious study at advanced level.
