Corazonar With/In María Zambrano CORAZONAR WITH/IN MARÍA ZAMBRANO: INSIGHTS INTO CRISIS, HEART, AND HOPE by Maria Angélica Guerrero Quintana B.A., Universidad de Los Andes, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Educational Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April, 2020 © Maria Angélica Guerrero Quintana, 2020 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, a thesis entitled: CORAZONAR WITH/IN MARÍA ZAMBRANO: INSIGHTS INTO CRISIS, HEART, AND HOPE Maria Angélica submitted by Guerrero Quintana in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Educational Studies Examining Committee: Samuel D. Rocha, Associate Professor, Department of Educational Studies, UBC Supervisor Judith Walker, Assistant Professor, Department of Educational Studies, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Sandro Barros, Assistant Professor, Michigan State University Additional Examiner ii AbstraCt Along with the different kinds of global crises we are going through, this thesis delves into the work of Spanish philosopher Maria Zambrano, whose critiques on the European modernity during the 20th century are more than ever relevant and can bring hope to these moments of despair. Through an exercise of exegesis and translation of three primary texts of Maria Zambrano, and based on three themes that I have found central in her work: crisis, heart and, hope, I weave connections between Zambrano’s poetic philosophy, with the Andean Kitu Kara concept of corazonar, along with insights about relevant topics that are currently shaking the world of education and humanity overall. The primary texts used are Hacia un Saber Sobre el Alma (Towards a knowledge about the soul) (1950), Los Bienaventurados (The Blessed) (1990), and Filosofía y Educación. Manuscritos (Philosophy and Education: Manuscripts) (2010). This study brings Zambrano’s rationalist perspective that integrates the intuitive, affective, contemplative and spiritual dimensions of life, that have been long undervalued in Western thinking. The themes of crisis, heart and, hope are developed as separate chapters and are weaved in with Zambrano’s call for integrating feelings and understanding, heart and reason, which are connected for the first time to the term corazonar. The word corazonar turns the heart into a verb, combines heart and thinking, means reasoning together and refers to a gut feeling or hunch. I explore Maria Zambrano’s ideas from my ever-present concern and love for Colombia and its path towards peace. This study is a major attempt to translate and interpret Zambrano’s ideas into English, contributing to the broader philosophical and educational studies beyond the borders of the Spanish language in which most of the scholarly work has been written in. iii Lay Summary This study brings a relevant reflection on crisis, heart, and hope through the view of Maria Zambrano, one of the greatest philosophers of Spain, who inhabited most of the tangled and violent twentieth century. It honors Zambrano’s work as it is weaved together with insights based on her offerings and as a scholarly contribution to an Anglophone readership just gaining access to her work. This thesis is a relevant exercise of bringing back María Zambrano’s thought, political activism and philosophy to current topics, as well as connecting for the first time her philosophical ideas with the Andean Kitu Kara concept of corazonar. Working with primary texts, translating to English, reflecting on current topics on philosophy and education, and creating value for the longevity of an author are some of the key contributions of this work. iv PrefaCe This thesis is original, independent work by Maria Angélica Guerrero Quintana, that has not been previously published. v Table of Contents Abstract

The majority of these studies have focused on the interaction between a local language and a non-local language. In this project, I propose an analysis of the mixture of two world languages (Spanish and English), which can be categorised as both local and non-local. I do this through the analysis of the enormously successful reggaeton genre, which is characterised by its use of Spanglish. I used two data types to inform my research: a corpus of code-switching instances in top 20 reggaeton songs, and a questionnaire on attitudes towards Spanglish in general and in music. I collected 200 answers to the questionnaire – half from American English-speakers, and the other half from Spanish-speaking Hispanics of various nationalities.

    Jonathan Morgan___________________ A Midnight Ride on Paul’s Derriere Listen, my children, and you shall hear Suffice it to say they slunk back to their lair Of that fine tradition all Johnnies revere And Peterson echoed with their cries of despair: A Poetry Contest, in your nomenclature “How now shall we manage, O Divine Mercy, Erotic in name, and though small in stature to express our deep love for all things unseemly? Healthy and bulging with tumescent pride For sodomy, incest, and good Lady Chatterley, And like many bulges, too prominent to hide. For onanists, frotteurists, and bestiality?!? A rude, hairy Tourney of frustrated gripes Freud says that what isn’t expressed will fester! Which yet managed beauty, as Pan from his pipes. What we hold in now will be worse next semester! A contest that Johnnies created, in trust. And though we are craven and burning with lust, As a repository for their various lusts. Most average Johnnies are homier than us!” On one fine spring morning, in 2004, The editors anguished long into the night. The Dean paid a call on the Moon editors. But had they a plan, by first morning light. He asked them, with feigned nonchalance, to accompany Although it would gall them, they must take a chance, Him back to his office, and they complied readily.

  • Song Set 1 Manual and Nursery Info
    Song Set 1 Manual + Nusery info. INTRODUCTION In Harmony Song Set One is made up of the core songs that In Harmony children learn in their first year, ideally Nursery age children. The songs have been chosen because they are fun to sing and they have many games and movement activities whilst being musically very simple. The songs are short, contain only 2 or 3 different pitches and simple rhythms too. This gives the children the possibility to be really successful when singing these songs. There are five song sets in total with the complexity of the songs increasing with each song set. Each song has a picture to help the children become familiar with the songs. When delivering singing sessions to Nursery aged children joining in can be encouraged with comments such as “let’s sing so that teddy can hear us” but watching others, the teacher and their peers, is still so important at this stage so it is valuable for children to be given the space to do this. Once in reception it is important to start insisting on everyone joining in as best they can. Try to give children the opportunity to sing without an adult supporting them – they will often surprise you with how well they can sing if you leave them to it! Sticks & Blobs is a series of books designed to incrementally teach children to “musically” read notation. The aim is to equip them to be able to sight sing which gives them the skill of being able to read music and hear what it will sound like in their heads before playing it on an instrument.

  • Capoeira Song Compendium Version 1.0
    Capoeira Song Compendium Version 1.0 A compendium of the most widely sung Capoeira songs with their English translations. Plus a guide on Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation, a capoeira glossary, an article about religion and its connection to Capoeira and other articles about Capaoeira songs. This work is an ongoing project and it is my hope that with feedback from users, that this document can be regularly updated and thereby enriched. Mathew Brigham (Espaguete), May 2006 © THIS DOCUMENT CAN BE FREELY DISTRIBUTED - DO NOT ABUSE THIS TRUST AND TRY TO MAKE MONEY FROM IT. * I Dedication Axé to Caçapa and Grupo Bantus in Tokyo and Bantus students around the world. Axé to Grupo Origens do Brasil , Bournemouth and São Paulo and Instructora Bia and Mestre Adelmo. II Aim The aim of this document is to serve as a high quality resource for English speaking Capoeirsistas who wish to deepen their knowledge of the most widely sung Capoeira songs and the wisdom contained therein and hopefully improving their Portugese at the same time. It is my hope that with feedback from users, this document will expand and be enriched . I hope to release a revised version at least twice a year. Apart from containing just lyrics in Portugese and English there is a section on pronunciation as well as a glossary at the end. There are also sections on the different types of songs and improvisation (taken, with kind permission, from Grupo T.A.B.C.A.T), as well as a section summarsing religious syncretism and its connection to Capoeira. Acknowledgements A debt is due to those soles who typed up capoeira songs (and in some cases translated them) and released them on the net to help budding non-Portugese speaking Capoeiristas like myself! Songs that have been taken from the net, have been improved on; in particular with reference to grammar errors, unnatural translations and missing cultural and historical references – perhaps the most important thing to help deepen knowledge of Capoeira.
