I tend to be the only one who teaches rhetoric: some do English education; some bilingual education; someteach literature, ethnic and traditional; there is usually a poet or two among us. Our teaching spans all grade levels. We arebrown and black and yellow and red. At those meetings, we are the guests of NCTE. But our main host is Dr. Sandra Gibbs, thedirector of special programs for NCTE. She has no idea what those days mean to me. I don't think I know her politics, really. But I know she has a quick ear for the latent and a quick tongue for making the latent explicit. I'm glad she's there. A special thank you. I am glad to be among other professionals of color for thosefew days. In those few days, we !augh, and we swap stories which tell of our ways, ways which tell of our particularcultures, ways we have in common as people of color. And we work. And ourwork reflects the things we have in common with many of our fellow professionals, and our work reflects the things we see and hear andfeel, aggravating things sometimes, painful things. So it is that somewhere along the way I had thought it would be a good idea to have a collection of essays that would depict how the struggles of people of color continue after goals are reached,after "making it:' I still think it's a good idea. Rumor about the idea reached Michael Spooner, the person in charge of publications for NCTE. He asked if I had a book in the works. Only an idea. Meanwhile, Bryan Short, a co-worker at Northern Arizona, had read a mixed-genre piece I had written for acollection on critical theory; he had also read a more straight-academic piece I intended tosubmit to a journal. He preferred the mixed genre, said thewriting was more effective, the message worth saying, the time right. "Write a book:' He is more than well-versed in the ins and outs of the academy, scholarship to institutional politics. I trust his judgment. vii viii Bootstraps Before that, Anne Ruggles Gere responded to a mixed-genre essay I had written for the English Journal. She said there was a book there. I didn't see how at the time. But I had long ago learned that she knew things about this business that I would never understand (though she wasn't always aware that I didn't understand them). And she knew things about my potentials that I didn't always know. She never did let me get away with anything in graduate school, wouldn't let me lie down when I grew tired of poverty, indignity, insecurity, when I knew I didn't belong and couldn't do it. Anne and Bryan and Michael are the folks immediately responsible for my pursuing this book. Thanks. To these, I must add William Irmscher, my first boss when I was a Teaching Assistant (short for teaching-on-assistant-pay). Along with Anne, Irmscher kept me in the act when I felt like the Judy to the institution's Punch. He worked behind the curtain, my knowing of his help only through rumor: Irmscher, the Indonesian puppetmaster. Indonesian puppetmasters are believed lo shape destinies. There is Sharon Crowley. There is her company: co-worker, critic, and friend. Hers was the call one day, after my wife and I decided that we would leave the loneliness of the academic profession; Sharon's the call that allowed me to give academics another chance, a decision I have not yet come to regret. We're in the same business, Professor Crowley and I, rhetoric and composition, attending the same meetings, knowing some of the same people, reading the same journals and books, having similar ideas. We have fun together. And even a two-minute talk in the halls is often the seed for hours of fruitful thought. Yet she is less a mentor than my academic Papo. Papo was something of my protector on the block back in Bed-Stuy, the bad-ass that no one messed with. Sharon protects me from institutional politics, a discourse I will likely never break into. Special others. There is Bill Grabe, who casualty tosses into my box linguistic things I would want to read. And my bosses at Northern Arizona (named after furniture: chairs; Freire goes on about dehuman- ization), Paul Ferlazzo and Sharon and Susan Foster-Cohen. I could get on in Bed-Stuy. I'm not sure I could in the academy, the day-to- day, without these chairs. Breaking into the professional academic community is tricky business for most, I'm sure. Harder still for the person of color still weighted down by a GED, my personal psychological baggage of failure. Thanks to those who believe in me. Since I am mixing genres even here, a mix of dedication and acknowledgment. I think it important to acknowledge those editors and publishers who accepted essays I have written in the past which 7 Good Debts ix appear here in larger chunks. I've been going on about the same stuff for some time now, so I bypass the fragments and I bypass things written for NCTE. What remains includes a chapter in Writing With: New Directions in Collaborative Teaching, Learning, and Research, edited by Sally Reagan, Thomas Fox, and David Bleich, to be published by State University of New York Press (1993); an article which appears in PRE/TEXT (1993); and a chapter which appeared in Politics of Writing Instruction: Postsecondary, edited by Richard Bullock and John Trimbur, published by Boynton/Cook in 1990.

  • Benefits of Nonlinear Storytelling in Film and Television
    BENEFITS OF NONLINEAR STORYTELLING IN FILM AND TELEVISION A THESIS Presented to the University Honors Program California State University, Long Beach In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the University Honors Program Certificate Joshua Seemann Spring 2017 I, THE UNDERSIGNED MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE, HAVE APPROVED THIS THESIS BENEFITS OF NONLINEAR STORYTELLING IN FILM AND TELEVISION BY Joshua Seemann ______________________________________________________________ Adam Moore, MFA Film and Electronic Arts California State University, Long Beach Spring 2017 Running Head: BENEFITS OF NONLINEAR STORYTELLING Abstract Screenwriters strive to create narratives that are emotionally compelling and engaging to audiences. This research explores the technique of nonlinear storytelling, focusing on what makes a film nonlinear, as well as discussing what benefits nonlinear storytelling provides to the screenwriting process. Through the analysis of three films and one television show that utilize aspects of nonlinear story structure, this study argues that linearity should be thought of as a spectrum rather than something that is categorical. In addition, this work argues that nonlinear story structure makes it easier for films to cover larger spans of time, allows screenwriters to achieve effects that would be impossible in fully linear stories, and helps writers enhance the audience’s emotional connection to scenes through implicit storytelling. This research suggests that by taking advantage of these benefits, screenwriters can create films that lend audiences an emotionally powerful viewing experience. 1 BENEFITS OF NONLINEAR STORYTELLING Benefits of Nonlinear Storytelling In Film and Television Nonlinear storytelling is a narrative technique in which the events of a story are told out of chronological order. Better understanding nonlinear story structure will help screenwriters create scripts that are more emotionally compelling than traditional linear films.

    THE ROLE OF TIME IN NON-LINEAR FICTION NARRATIVES by Tatevik Kyurkchyan Presented to the Department of English & Communications in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts American University of Armenia Yerevan, Armenia 20/05/19 1 Table of Contents Abstract………………………………………………………………………………………3 Introduction…………………………………………………………………………….…….4 Literature Review……………………………………………………………...……….…… 5 Research Questions and Methodology ….………………………………………………….12 The Seed and the Soil linear version……..…………………………………………………13 The Seed and the Soil non-linear version…………………………………………………. 30 Research Findings and Analysis …………………………………..………………….…… 48 Limitations and Avenues for Future Research………………………….…………..…….. 56 Bibliography…………………………………………………………………………..…… 58 2 Abstract This paper analyzes the structure of non-linear narratives in fiction literature in comparison with linear variants. It considers the concept of time and how it is represented and altered through writing in fiction literature. Additionally, the role of time and non-linearity is discussed from the perspective of the emotional effects it induces rather than linear, chronological narratives. With the use of qualitative research, international literature, and an original creative writing segment, this theory is analyzed. 3 Introduction Stories, in their most basic interpretation, are created by isolating a sequence of events and presenting them to an audience. How a story is written noticeably impacts the way it will be received by readers since it considers characters, setting, tone, time, and several other aspects to make it whole. While every detail allows a story to raise various interpretations or perceptions, the importance of time is often overlooked compared to other aforementioned qualities which are deemed more important. From this perspective, time is mostly considered a means through which the story is told, but rather, this paper will analyze how the disruption of time in a story is capable of altering how the story is perceived and emphasizing certain aspects.

Following Karl Marx in political Wittgenstein philosophy and Lev Vygotsky in child psychology, it is the group/the collective/the mass Self that engages in developmental activity. In losing the self, we gain the opportunity to create Psychotherapy Social therapy collectivity and in that process come to sense the social-relational-collective quality of creativity and development.

  • The Transition from Studying Philosophy to Doing Philosophy
    Teaching Philosophy 34:3, September 2011 241 The Transition from Studying Philosophy to Doing Philosophy JOHN RUDISILL The College of Wooster Abstract: In this paper I articulate a minimal conception of the idea of doing philosophy that informs a curriculum and pedagogy for producing students who are capable of engaging in philosophical activity and not just competent with a specific domain of knowledge. The paper then relates, by way of back- ground, the departmental assessment practices that have played a vital role in the development of my department’s current curriculum and in particular in the design of a junior-year seminar in philosophical research required of all majors. After a brief survey of the learning theory literature that has informed its design, I share the content of this junior-year seminar. In the paper’s conclusion I provide some initial data that indicates our approach to curriculum and pedagogy has had a positive impact on student achievement with respect to reaching the learning goals associated with “doing” as opposed to “merely studying” philosophy. 1. Introduction Capstone projects are common among liberal arts colleges and fre- quently carry an expectation that the final product demonstrates the student’s achievement of becoming a budding biologist, historian, sociologist, philosopher and so on. Even without a formal capstone requirement, I would hope that my philosophy students could—as they finish their undergraduate studies—demonstrate such an achievement. This is because the full set of benefits made available by an education in philosophy includes but extends well beyond knowledge of the history of philosophy and mastery of a philosophical lexicon.
