M. Barrie, Peter Pan Bron: He’s just a lost boy. Hilary: This isn’t Never Never Land. —Alan Bennett, The Old Country One of Freud’s fundamental insights is that the human psyche develops through a process by which the individual confronts and seeks to compensate for the frustration of his or her desires. Through the whole spectrum of human activities, from the destructively neurotic to the healthy, we try to come to terms with the fact that some of our desires have not been, and perhaps never will be, satisfied.
  • Educating Rita: to Educate - Transitive Or Intransitive Verb?

    Educating Rita: to Educate - Transitive Or Intransitive Verb?

    Educating Rita: to educate - transitive or intransitive verb? Carmem Diva Rodrigues Jorge Wilson PUC-Rio One of the hazards of globalisation is the increase of competition at the work place. In fact, the more competitive the market, the more education one seems to require in order to succeed. It follows that, in the past decades, continuous education became a fundamental feature in most technological societies. Consequently, more and more adults are going back to school hoping that education will help them escape the terrible fear of being left behind. It does not matter the age of the learner, the learning process should always be pictured as a social practice, i.e., learning takes place when social subjects negotiate knowledge through social action. Thus, by taking into consideration the socio-constructivist approach to learning and the systemic-functional approach to language I will investigate the learning process that takes place in the fictional story by 10.17771/PUCRio.PDPe.8504 Willy Russel - Educating Rita. I will be looking into important issues, such as: the real agent of the process of education, learner autonomy, power relation between teacher and student, reproduction of social practices and the voices of the participants involved in the process of learning. Key Words: learner autonomy, social practice, social identity, community of practice. BRIEF INTRODUCTION “Our social context teaches us our language, and language makes us ourselves” (Richardson, 1992, 117). Although some linguists still believe that one can actually study language dissociated from its social context, in this paper I will claim that, as social beings, we use language for social interaction and that, consequently, learning should be seen as a social practice.

    Contemporary British Coming-Of-Age Films (1979 to the Present)

    1 Contemporary British Coming-of-Age Films (1979 to the Present) Philippa Zielfa Maslin A thesis submitted to Royal Holloway, University of London, in accordance with the requirements of a Ph.D. in the Department of Media Arts 2 Declaration of Authorship I declare that the work in this thesis was carried out in accordance with the regulations of Royal Holloway, University of London. This work is original, except where indicated by special reference in the text, and no part of the thesis has been submitted for any other academic award. Any views expressed in the thesis are those of the author. Signed: Philippa Zielfa Maslin Date: 19th January 2018 3 Abstract Locating itself in relation to existing work on youth in, primarily American, cinema, the thesis questions the analytical usefulness of conceptualising the ‘youth/teen film’ as a genre and, instead, seeks to establish the value of analysing the ‘coming-of-age film’ as a genre involving the employment of adolescent protagonists. In setting out to do so, it focuses on films which are set in Britain, made from 1979 onwards, and rarely discussed as coming-of-age films (or, indeed, youth/teen films), but which may be seen to benefit from such a critical approach. Following a survey of a range of anthropological, biological, historical, juridical, psychoanalytic, psychological and sociological approaches to adolescence, as well as scholarship on the literary precursor of the coming-of-age film, the Bildungsroman, and on the relationship between adolescence and cinema, a working definition of the coming-of- age genre is proposed.
