Critical Race Counterstories along the Chicana/Chicano Educational Pipeline (The Teaching/Learning Social Justice)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Chicanas/os are part of the youngest, largest, and fastest growing racial/ethnic `minority` population in the United States, yet at every schooling level, they suffer the lowest educational outcomes of any racial/ethnic group. Using a `counterstorytelling` methodology, Tara Yosso debunks racialized myths that blame the victims for these unequal educational outcomes and redirects our focus toward historical patterns of institutional neglect. She artfully interweaves empirical data and theoretical arguments with engaging narratives that expose and analyze racism as it functions to limit access and opportunity for Chicana/o students. By humanizing the need to transform our educational system, Yosso offers an accessible tool for teaching and learning about the problems and possibilities present along the Chicano/a educational pipeline.

Critical Regionalism: Architecture and Identity in a Globalized World (Architecture in Focus (Paperback))

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe latest book in the Architecture in Focus series, this beautifully illustrated and designed book reconsiders critical regionalism and brilliantly demonstrates the global viability of one of the most visible trends in contemporary architecture. As globalization increasingly enters every facet of our lives, its homogenizing effects on architecture, urban spaces, and the landscape have compelled architects to embrace the principles of critical regionalism, an alternative theory that respects local culture, geography and climate. In this important reexamination of critical regionalism, two prominent architectural critics argue for a truce between the seemingly antithetical philosophies of critical regionalism and globalization. The authors trace the genesis of critical regionalism to its ancient historical and political roots, and focus on its modern expression in the works of Aalvar Aalto, Richard Neutra, Oscar Niemeyer and others. They point to the increasing… [detailed...]

Critical Terrorism Studies: A New Research Agenda (Routledge Critical Terrorism Studies)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In response to the growth of a critical perspective on contemporary issues of terrorism, this edited volume brings together a number of leading scholars to debate the new subfield of `critical terrorism studies`. In the years since the 9/11 attacks, terrorism studies has undergone a major transformation from minor subfield of security studies into a large stand-alone field, and is probably one of the fastest expanding areas of research in the Western academic world. However, much of the literature is beset by a number of problems, limiting its potential for producing rigorous empirical findings and genuine theoretical advancement. In response to these weaknesses in the broader field, a small but increasing number of scholars have begun to articulate a critical perspective on contemporary issues of terrorism.This volume brings together a number of leading scholars to debate the need for and the shape of this exciting new subfield. The first part of the volume examines some of the main… [detailed...]

Critical Theory Ethics for Business and Public Administration (HC) (Ethics in Practice)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A volume in Ethics in Practice Series Editors Robert A. Giacalone, Temple University and Carole L. Jurkiewicz, Louisiana State University The purpose of this book is to develop ethical traditions based on Kant, Horkheimer, and others, to extend beyond the level of individual behavior to address the social system level in business and public administration. It is not enough to try to be good or ethical as individuals when it is systemic processes which are fostering unethical behavior. Horkheimer`s books Eclipse of Reason and Critique of Instrumental Reason, and his early and now classic essay Materialism and Morality, ask for a reformation of Kantian ethics. The reform is sought because the categorical imperative, within the context of an individualism capitalism, serves to worsen the difference between business ethics and moral philosophy. Therefore, Horkheimer asks that the maxims that would be made universal would be done at the level of people organizing with others…. [detailed...]

But how can we reliably measure any change inthis ability, and how long does it take? This booksummarizes the results of a two-year investigation ofcognitive development in college students. Studentperformance on exams at different levels of Bloom`sTaxonomy was used to estimate improvement inhigher-level thinking. The California CriticalThinking Skills Test (CCTST) was used as anindependent and discipline-neutral estimate of thisability. Data analysis confirmed the cumulativehierarchical relationship of Bloom?s, with studentsaveraging 73% on exam questions at the knowledgelevel and 53% at the application and analysis levels,although statistically significant improvement incritical thinking by students was not detected overtwo semesters. Clearly, critical thinking isdifficult for students and takes longer to developthan we might have guessed. The findings of thisstudy have implications… [detailed...]

F. T. Marinetti
Critical Writings: New Edition

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Futurist movement was founded and promoted by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, beginning in 1909 with the First Futurist Manifesto, in which he inveighed against the complacency of `cultural necrophiliacs` and sought to annihilate the values of the past, writing that `there is no longer any beauty except the struggle. Any work of art that lacks a sense of aggression can never be a masterpiece.` In the years that followed, up until his death in 1944, Marinetti, through both his polemical writings and his political activities, sought to transform society in all its aspects. As GA?nter Berghaus writes in his introduction, `Futurism sought to bridge the gap between art and life and to bring aesthetic innovation into the real world. Life was to be changed through art, and art was to become a form of life.` This volume includes more than seventy of Marinetti’s most important writings—many of them translated into English for the first time—offering the reader a… [detailed...]

They provide an historical understanding of critical political economy, focusing on the development of the critical perspectives on capitalism of Hegel and Marx.

This study of critical and post-critical political economy concludes by arguing for the integration or these standpoints within a revitalized critical perspective. [detailed...]

Criticism and Ideology: A Study in Marxist Literary Theory, New Edition

2006 y.

Description: The fiery literary and cultural critic returns with a new edition of his classic work. Terry Eagleton is one of the most important-and most radical-theorists writing today.

In this new edition of his groundbreaking treatise on literary theory, Eagleton seeks to develop a sophisticated relationship between Marxism and literary criticism. Ranging across the key works of Raymond Williams, Lenin, Trostsky, Brecht, Adorno, Benjamin, Lukacs and Sartre, he develops a nuanced critique of traditional literary criticism while producing a compelling theoretical account of ideology. Eagleton uses this perspective to offer fascinating analyses of canonical writers, including George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, T.S. Eliot, W.B. Yeats, James Joyce… [detailed...]

Critics of Capitalism: Victorian Criticism of Political Economy (Cambridge English Prose Texts)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: By the start of the Victorian period the school of British economists acknowledging Adam Smith as its master was in the ascendancy. `Political Economy`, a catch-all title which ignored the diversity of viewpoints to be found amongst the discipline`s leading proponents, became associated in the popular mind with moral and political forces held to be uniquely conducive to the progress of an increasingly industrialised and competitive society. `Political Economy` served in turn as the focus for critics of equally diverse moral and political persuasions, who sought to challenge the materialism of contemporary society and offer their own assessments of the profound social changes of the time. In the introductory essay to the collection of readings from such `critics of capitalism`, the editors review the principles of the early economists, the way in which these principles were appropriated and applied by their Victorian successors and the contrasting modes which critics of popular… [detailed...]
