The following paper concerns culturally Deaf people, who are Sign Language users, and who develop dementia. A first person narrative account from a Deaf daughter of her Deaf mother's dementia ('My Mum's Story') is the main focus of the paper. It is preceded by a Foreword designed to equip the reader with the background to Sign Language and Deaf culture, in order better to contextualize the significance of dementia and its effects for this community. Both pieces, from different perspectives, focus on: the problematic nature of recognizing dementia amongst Deaf people; the paucity of appropriate diagnostic, care and support services; the different considerations for Deaf people approaching dementia as patient or carer; the challenges to service providers and researchers. The first person account was originally produced in BSL (British Sign Language) and translated for written publication purposes. © The Author(s), 2010.

Publication issue du congrès du Réseau Francophone de Sociolinguistique (RFS), organisé à l'Université de Corse en juillet 2013 ; International audience ; Avec sa décision fondatrice de séparer la langue corse de l'italien – et de bannir ce dernier de son journal A Tramuntana (1901) – Santu Casanova signe l'acte de naissance du corse comme langue littéraire. À l'époque et depuis quelques décennies, le passage d'une diglossie italien-corse à une diglossie français-corse s'accompagnait d'une modification du paysage littéraire insulaire. Alors que, durant des siècles, les auteurs corses avaient participé à l'univers des lettres italiennes, des écrivains et poètes insulaires s'introduisaient désormais dans l'espace littéraire français. Ayant été annexée par la France au cours de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, la Corse se trouvait alors dans une situation de domination non seulement linguistique, mais encore politique et économique. Cette situation générait un fort sentiment d'amertume, l'île ayant perdu les attributs de la souveraineté qui avait été la sienne au XVIIIe siècle, sans pour autant bénéficier d'un mieux être matériel. C'est dans ce contexte qu'il faut situer l'émergence d'une littérature écrite en langue vernaculaire. Avec l'affirmation du corse comme langue d'imprimerie, un nouveau champ littéraire – spécifiquement corse – est créé autour d'une norme nouvelle : l'écriture en langue corse. Refusant de demeurer confinés à la périphérie des champs italien ou français, un collectif d'auteurs insulaires fonde un champ littéraire propre à la Corse. L'objectif est clairement affiché : la défense de la langue et de la culture corses. La nature de cet objectif commun apparait clairement tant à la lecture des textes produits qu'à travers les témoignages que nous avons recueillis. Nous avons proposé d'appeler cette période Primu Riacquistu (Première Réappropriation), par référence à celle, plus récente, que l'on nomme communément Riacquistu (années 1970) (Talamoni 2008 : 12). Pour l'étude de ce Primu Riacquistu, nous avons procédé, en ce qui concerne la phase de recueil des données, d'une part à l'analyse d'une collection de textes littéraires et d'autre part à une enquête auprès des familles d'auteurs (entretiens et questionnaire).S'agissant de la phase d'analyse des données, nous avons eu recours à la théorie du polysystème, développée par l'auteur israélien Itamar Even-Zohar (Even-Zohar 1990), afin d'examiner les conditions de création et de développement du champ littéraire de langue corse. L'objet de la présente étude est de comprendre comment un groupe d'auteurs s'est organisé pour initier une démarche collective visant à défendre une langue et une culture menacées. Mais il s'agit également d'en tirer un certain nombre d'enseignements sur les mécanismes encore à l'œuvre aujourd'hui dans l'espace littéraire, et ce en vue d'une action concrète sur ces mécanismes afin d'aider au développement de la langue corse au sein de la société insulaire.

A timely, original study of the emergence of a new type of thinking about children and their rights in contemporary urban China, which draws on diverse evidence from Chinese government, academic, media, and pedagogic publications, as well as on participant observation and interviews in two primary schools and among elite and middle class families in Shanghai, China. Drawing on rich, ethnographic data, this book debunks many popular and scholarly stereotypes about the predominance of Confucian ideas of parental authority in China or about the indifference to individual human rights in the political and public culture of the PRC. This book also recognizes the complexities and conflicts that exist in Chinese discourses about and practices toward children, as older ideas of filiality, neoliberal ideologies, and the new awareness of children's right to privacy, to expressing their views, and to protection against violence compete and collude in complicated, often contradictory ways.

Philosophy of education functions as systematic socio-cultural phenomenon combining methodology, science, values, national/European/world pedagogical traditions. Philosophy of education is characterized by complex of theories (ideas), scientific, cultural, values, moral and ethical principles determining not only the meaning / content of education and training, but also a certain type of personality. Worldview-philosophical analysis emphasizes the planetary-cosmic dimension of human existence and the planetary-cosmic personality type (anthropic principle; man-microcosm as a reflection of the macrocosm-universe). World relations in the coordinates of culture, man-made (western) and traditionalist (eastern), identifies personality types: individualistic (West), collectivist (East). The article reveals the compatibility of ideas, theories, approaches (philosophical anthropology and ontology, subjective, cultural, comparative, communicative, praxeological), according to the priorities of the post-neoclassical. On this basis, the expediency of the theoretical and methodological tools of the philosophy of education as a synergistic of interaction of basic life-value concepts (man-science-culture-art-style of thinking) and goal-setting - the formation of the subject of culture. The subject of culture is formed in certain society (pluralism of political, economic, legal, educational, religious systems), environment of immanent values, moral and ethical precepts, customs, beliefs, spiritual traditions. The spiritual and value bases of the existence of the European person as a subject of culture determine the space of the Judeo-Christian tradition and technogenic (Western) civilization. For a person as a subject of culture of the eastern (traditionalist) area, the spiritual and value basis is Confucianism and Taoism (China), Confucianism and Buddhism (Japan). The activity of the subject of culture in particular is realized in planetary space. Comparative analysis of West-East communication actualizes trans-scientific intentions of philosophy of education. The praxeological directions of strategic social changes in Ukraine are singled out: fundamental turn to science and education; modernization of science-intensive technical-technological-production processes; financing of innovations (investments, business) at the level of leading universities. ; Філософія освіти функціонує як системне соціокультурне явище, поєднуючи методологію, науку, цінності, національні/європейські/світові педагогічні традиції. Філософію освіти характеризує сукупність теорій (ідей), світоглядних, наукових, культурних, ціннісних, морально-етичних засад, які обумовлюють не лише сенс/зміст виховання та навчання, а й певний тип особистості. Світоглядно-філософський аналіз акцентує планетарно-космічний вимір людського буття й планетарно-космічний тип особистості (антропний принцип; людина-мікрокосм як відображення макрокосму-Всесвіту). Світовідношення у координатах культури, техногенної (західної) і традиціоналістських (східних), виявляє типи особистості: індивідуалістичний (Захід), колективістичний (Схід). У статті розглядається співмірність ідей, теорій, підходів (філософська антропологія та онтологія, суб'єктний, порівняльний, комунікативний, праксеологічний), за пріоритетів постнекласичного. На цих засадах доцільність теоретико-методологічного інструментарію філософії освіти осмислюється як синергія базисних буттєво-ціннісних концептів (людина-наука-культура-мистецтво-стиль мислення) та цілепокладання – становлення особистості як суб'єкта культури. Суб'єкт культури формується у певному соціумі (плюралізм політичних, економічних, правових, освітніх, релігійних систем), середовищі іманентних цінностей, морально-етичних приписів, звичаїв, вірувань, духовних традицій. Духовно-ціннісні основи буття європейської людини як суб'єкта культури визначає простір юдео-християнської традиції й техногенної (Західної) цивілізації. Для людини як суб'єкта культури східного (традиціоналістського) ареалу, духовно-ціннісним підґрунтям є конфуціанство і даосизм (Китай), конфуціанство та буддизм (Японія). Вочевидь власне діяльність суб'єкта культури реалізується у планетарно-космічному просторі. Компаративістичний аналіз комунікації Захід-Схід актуалізує транснаукові інтенції філософії освіти. Зазначено праксеологічні напрями стратегічних суспільних змін в Україні: фундаментальний поворот до науки та освіти; модернізація наукоємних техніко-технологічних-виробничих процесів; фінансування інновацій (інвестиції, бізнес) на рівні провідних ВНЗ.

This research investigates the cultural barriers which face international managers and the significance of international managers on Industrial Relations (IR)/Human Resource Management (HRM) practices within the Garment and Textile (G & T) industry in Bangladesh. After the Rana Plaza building collapse, the Bangladesh state undertook measures to address a variety of IR/HRM related issues which included those of health & safety, working conditions and trade unions. It is noted that international managers have played a substantial role but there remain some limitations which are discussed. Based on a review of the literature, the research develops a model to identify how effective international managers are in overcoming cultural barriers. The research methodology is based on a theoretical model which brings together a number of factors which include cultural characteristics. This is tested through triangulation; analysis of primary data interviews which are based within selected companies interviews, open-ended and structured interviews, and the analysis of a survey questionnaire. For this research, Hofstedes, Trompenaars and Ingleharts model have been drawn upon because their work provides both a theoretical and practical contribution to culture and management in major developing countries such as Bangladesh. This exploration of the cultural context within Bangladeshi identifies various differences between Western and non-Western culture. The Bangladeshi culture and non-Western culture particularly in South Asia has substantial similarities. Bangladesh retains what is probably the most traditional and collective culture in South Asia. These collectivist traits are reflected in both the research and conceptual model. Therefore, these contextual factors offer fertile ground for the future development of a model for understanding how international managers adapt to the environment within Bangladesh. A modified theoritical model from selected theories allowing a framework for the research. In line with the empirical findings, the cultural characteristics of language, culture, trade unions, health & safety and political understanding are all significant for international managers in the G & T industry in Bangladesh. With regards to language barriers, the research has identified that language problems create a communication gap between international managers and IR actors, this is notable between trade union and government officials; hence the cultural barriers. Findings suggest that the non- Western international managers such as those from India and Sri Lanka do not encounter language problems. Within the linguistic sphere, Indian and Sri Lankan international managers have a basic grounding in Bangla (Bangladeshi language). This familiarity extends beyond language and includes culture. With regard to health & safety issues, the findings suggest that Western international managers show a higher level of awareness than non-Western international managers. This heightened awareness is especially contrasted with those managers from India, Sri Lanka and China. This may be because of the similarities of cultural characteristics. In line with HRM practices, the Multinational Companies (MNCs) provide an exemplar of the introduction of corporate HRM policies in the G & T industry in Bangladesh. The empirical study of this research found that Western international managers follow different HR policies but they have limited presence compared to the non-Western international managers. The non-Western international managers particularly those from India and Sri Lanka tend not to follow corporate HRM practices. These countries and Bangladesh have a similar cultural framework and therefore a similar paradigm of values and understanding. This research also contributes to the understanding of the relationship between selected actors in the G& T industry. The empirical evidence in the broad fields of IR/HRM for Bangladesh is scant and the findings make a significant contribution to knowledge. Therefore, this research makes a contribution to understanding selected actors within the Bangladeshi system.

The following article proposes a revision of dramatic creation strategies present in the play Gota d'água (1975) by Chico Buarque and Paulo Pontes. Firstly, it will provide a comparative exercise with Medea by Euripides (431 BC) in order to account for the transculturation processes from the European referent. Then, the manner in which authors make use of epic-brechtian resources is analyzed to finally develop an interpretation proposal that links the 1975 play to the political and social situation in Brazil during the military dictatorship. ; El artículo se propone revisar las estrategias de creación dramática presentes en la obra Gota d'água (1975) de Chico Buarque y Paulo Pontes. En primer lugar, se realiza un ejercicio comparativo con la tragedia de Eurípides Medea (431 a.C) para, luego, dar cuenta de los procesos de transculturación realizados a partir del referente europeo. Posteriormente se examina el modo en que los autores utilizan los recursos del teatro épico-brechtiano y finalmente se realiza una propuesta de interpretación que vincula la obra de 1975 con la situación social y política de Brasil durante la dictadura militar.

This outline focuses on the multifarious academic, pedagogical and social activities of Fr Luigi Giussani, Professor of Theology, Italian thinker and scholar renowned for his numerous accomplishments.

The study explains his understanding of pedagogy and education. Selected achievements from his biography confirm Fr Giussani to be an exceptional human being, educator and scholar. As an educator, Fr Giussani holds a sober and realistic view of man and his formation: the true value of man, he claims, lies in being rational and free. Complete trust in God and great love for a human person define the most fundamental elements of his approach.The outline also includes a short biographical note and describes popular ways of education, formative events, the educators and educatee's personality constituents, and the relationship between freedom, conscience, tradition and education.

Discusses the results & implications of a science studies perspective regarding the high-energy physics field, based on 20 years personal research including 6 years of fieldwork at major US & Japanese labs. It is suggested that the international community of high-energy physicists is characterized by the production of privileged knowledge founded in biased gender & cultural norms that have the potential to marginalize & close the field to much needed diversity of opinions. Japanese women physicists fall into three generational groups: the senior generation, which was educated in Japan & holds low-level jobs; the young generation, which is benefiting from changing attitudes regarding working women; & the mid-career group, which received upper-level education in Europe, yet has been relegated to mid-range opportunities in Japan. It is argued that although military funding is condemned in both Japan & the US, most US physicists reject such funding due to a dislike of applied research, rather than as a result of personal moral or political obstructions. Further, many of the best high-energy physicists in the US have been coaxed into military research by money. T. Sevier

Recent art has turned to judiciary and extra-judiciary practices, specifically in the context of international conflicts, in order to assert art's political accountability and relevance to our capacity to historicise the present. The war in Iraq inspired works that directly address issues of representation and remediation, such as Marc Quinn's Mirage (2008), in which the aesthetic experience opens onto an ambiguous experience of the breakdown of justice. Other works have chosen to turn carceral space itself into the site of a collective remembering that harnesses affect to a critical reflection on the administration of justice, on assent and dissent. This article will turn to key works by Marc Quinn and Trevor Paglen that confront extra-judiciary malpractices, but also to recent collective art projects involving an interdisciplinary take on the experience of imprisonment, such as Inside. Artists and Writers in Reading Prison (2016), in which artists of all backgrounds responded to Oscar Wilde's De Profundis on the very premises of Wilde's incarceration, as well as the work of 2019 Turner Prize co-recipient: Jordanian sound artist Lawrence Abu Hamdan whose recent works rely on testimonies from Syrian detainees and probe the political pragmatics of aural art. All these works have turned to the document—literary, visual, aural—to reflect on the process of experiential mediation. How does the experience of imprisonment, or extra-judiciary malpractices, come to the spectator? How are they read, heard, interpreted, remediated? The article ponders the remediation and displacement of aesthetic experience itself and the "response-ability"—following Donna Haraway's coinage—of such a repoliticised embodied experience. It will assess the way by which such interdisciplinary works rethink the poetics of the documentary for an embodied intellection of justice—and injustice—in the present.

В статье рассматривается проблема выбора предмета исследования в социально-политической теории в контексте модернизации современной России. Автор предлагает поставить в центр внимания политической социологии процесс выявления и решения социальных и политических проблем при осуществлении курса модернизации российского общества. Социальные процессы и тенденции модернизации современного российского общества в статье рассмотрены через призму функционирования социальных институтов.Институт управления государством назван в качестве важнейшего фактора эффективного распределения национального дохода среди социальных групп общества. На рост национального дохода оказывает влияние информационная революция, поэтому производство общественного продукта непрерывно меняется под воздействием различных факторов. Рабочая сила важнейший фактор, который определяется спросом и предложением рынка и подвержен влиянию таких факторов, как качество профессионального образования, культуры труда, патриотического мировоззрения. Исходя из этих позиций, рассматриваются противоречивые условия и социальные предпосылки успешной модернизации России. ; The paper considers the problem of choosing a subject for research in the sociopolitical theory in the context of modernization in present-day Russia. The author suggests bringing identification and solving of social and political problems of the Russian society into the focus of political sociology. Social processes and modernization trends in contemporary Russian society are considered through the prism of functioning of social institutions.The institution of government is seen as the most important factor of efficient distribution of national income among social groups. The growth of national income is affected by the information revolution, making the social product constantly change under the influence of various factors. Labour force is a major factor determined by the market's demand and supply and affected by the quality of vocational education, standards of labour, and patriotism.With this in view, the author provides insights into the contradictory conditions and social prerequisitesfor successful modernization of Russia.

The chapter deals with the nowadays questions of employers about whether it makes sense to invest in employees, and how to retain people who are important to the company in prospect of craft SMEs and employability, and how to increase the employment rate in Poland and other EU countries. It describes the concept of job carving and job crafting and shows how to join this ideas with apprentice learning in crafts. The chapter devotes also a place to describe the reigniting the culture of entrepreneurship in Europe as an important response to the COVID crisis with recovery strategies to build resilience within European supply chains and ecosystems, restore consumer and business confidence, stimulate investment and help the unemployed back into work.

Elartículo analiza dos periódicos satírico-políticos, El Gauchoy O Mestre Barbeiro, aparecidos en la década de 1830 en Buenos Aires y en Porto Alegre respectivamente. Publicados en un contexto inédito en cuanto a la creación de instituciones modernas, estos periódicosoptaron por delegar la escritura en personajes imaginarios de origen popular. Peroel procedimiento de cesión de la palabra no fue usado de manera semejante por las dos publicacionesdado que, a diferencia de El Gaucho, O Mestre Barbeiroconstruyó su dispositivo de enunciación apelando a la ironía, mecanismo retórico destinado a corroer el discurso de su redactor ficticio. Esta diferencia ubica a cada periódico en extremos ideológicos opuestos en lo que a la desarticulación de jerarquías sociales se refiere y, con ello, permite vislumbrar el debate en el que ambas publicaciones estaban implicadas, relativo a la participación de sujetos sociales ajenos a las elites culturales en los nuevos espacios de deliberación política. ; Thearticle aims to analyze two satirical-political newspapers, El Gauchoand O Mestre Barbeiro, published respectively in Buenos Aires and Porto Alegre during the 1830s. Published in an unprecedented context regarding the creation of modern institutions, these political journals opted to assign their authorship to imaginary characters of popular origin. However, this procedure of transfer of the word was not used in the same manner by the two publications. Unlike El Gaucho, O Mestre Barbeiroestablished its enunciation device around irony, used as a rhetorical resource to erodethe journal's fictitious editor's discourse. This difference places each newspaper in opposite ideological positions regarding the disarticulation of social hierarchies. Thus, it allows us to discern the debate in which both publications were involved, concerning the participation of social subjects alien to the culture elite in rising spaces of political deliberation. ; Fil: Romano, María Laura.
