The book is organized into three sections. Part 1: "Critical Components of Learning through Literature" discusses in detail how each of the components vital to learning through literature may be implemented in a library resource center program by teachers and teacher-librarians as they plan and teach together. These critical components identified in Part 1 are intrinsically tied to three essential focuses of a literature program: building a climate for literacy; applying current knowledge about the nature of student learning processes; and the refinement and maintenance of sound instructional practice.

  • Translation & Music in Brazil1
    Translation & Music in Brazil1 Dennys Silva-Reis and Daniel Padilha Pacheco da Costa* No one can deny that Brazil is a musical country. Its dances, songs and a wide range of interventions from its folklore are historically and socially marked by rhythm, melody and lyrics. Central elements in musical composition, rhythm, melody and lyrics were never unmotivated or automatic, but from the outset they can be considered as ways to translate an atmosphere, an experience, an existence. Musical studies or the study of song lyrics have increasingly indicated that these sonic manifestations are in fact political acts, acts of existence and resistance (SOUZA, 2011; PALOMBINI, 2013; GARCIA, 2013; STARLING, 2013). If on the one hand sonic objects are by themselves elements that translate a people’s culture, on the other songs in particular are essential objects of the so-called intralinguistic translation. They are present in different media, in the several arts and in specific moments of daily life. Songs permeate radio, television, plays, films, exhibitions, artistic 10.17771/PUCRio.TradRev.50557 performances, advertisements, language courses, birthday parties, carnival, as well as many other moments and products in our society. Because they involve melody and objective meaning,2 songs are repeatedly adapted, translated, and rewritten. 1 A longer version of this paper was originally published in Portuguese as a Presentation of this journal’s previous Special Issue about Music and Translation. For the Presentation, see SILVA-REIS, Dennys; COSTA, Daniel Padilha Pacheco da. Tradução & Música no Brasil: contrapontos. Tradução em Revista, Rio de Janeiro, v. 2, n. 27, p. i-xv, 2019.

Li A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, May 2020 Distinction in China—the rise of taste in cultural consumption 2 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the Ph.D. degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgment is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent.

Distinction in China—the rise of taste in cultural consumption 3 Abstract This research studies how cultural consumption draws cultural distinctions in the most developed megacities in China. This research examines the pattern of music consumption to examine distinction—which types of music are used, how they are used, who are using them, and what are the sources of those tastes. Although some theories, such as the cultural omnivore account, contend that the rise of contemporary pop culture implies a more open-minded pursuit of taste, this research argues that popular culture draws distinction in new ways.
