  • Fairy Tales and Political Socialization
    FAIRY TALES AND POLITICAL SOCIALIZATION by Mehrdad Faiz Samadzadeh A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Leadership University of Toronto Ontario Institute for Studies in Education © Copyright by Mehrdad Faiz Samadzadeh 2018 FAIRY TALES AND POLITICAL SOCIALIZATION Mehrdad Faiz Samadzadeh Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Leadership Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The concept of childhood is one of the many facets of modernity that entered Western consciousness in the seventeenth century. It emanated from the historical mutations of the post-Renaissance era that set in motion what Norbert Elias calls the civilizing process, one that spawned a repressive mode of socialization in tandem with the cultural and ideological hegemony of the new power elite. Accordingly, childhood became a metaphor for oppression targeting not only children, but also women, the underclass, the social outcast, and the colonized as they all were deemed “incompletely human”. From mid-nineteenth century on, however, childhood began to evince a liberating potential in tandem with the changing direction of modern Western civilization. This ushered in an alternative concept of childhood inspired by the shared characteristics between the medieval and modern child that finds expression in the works of distinguished literary figures of the Victorian era. What followed was an entire movement towards the recognition of children’s rights and status that set the context for the growing interest in childhood as a subject of historical inquiry in the twentieth century. This conceptual vicissitude of childhood is central to the present thesis which I pursue in relation to the literary genre of fairy tale.

  • H-France Review Vol. 11 (March 2011), No. 80 Miranda Gill, Eccentricity
    H-France Review Volume 11 (2011) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 11 (March 2011), No. 80 Miranda Gill, Eccentricity and the Cultural Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Paris. Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2009. Notes, bibliography, and index. £60.80 (hb). ISBN 978-0-19-954328-1. Review by Melissa Wittmeier, Northwestern University. In Eccentricity and the Cultural Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Paris, Miranda Gill puts marginality squarely in the center of her argument, which is at times intentionally circular, but rarely, if ever, problematic. The depth and richness of this interdisciplinary study is remarkable. The flawlessness of the prose and the erudition of the vocabulary make the book a pleasure, and occasionally a challenge, to read. To complete her study, Gill left no stone unturned. She is thorough in her inclusion of sources, both historic and recent. The thoughtfulness of her exposition testifies to the tremendous depth of her research. Rare is the reader who will finish a chapter without having learned a great deal about the public and private perception of eccentricity in nineteenth-century Paris. The overall organization of the book, which is extraordinary, is outlined in systematic detail in an introduction wherein the author describes the structure and approach she has adopted for her work. Gill leads the reader by the hand, as it were, through her analysis. Each section begins with its stated purpose. “This study asks..." (p. 1), begins the first chapter, which ends, “This chapter has questioned...” (p. 38). Chapter two ends similarly with “This chapter has examined...” (p. 69); chapters three and seven conclude, “In conclusion...” (100, 237); chapters four and eight, “In summary...” (pp.

Promoting the values of civility and ethical behavior makes this book an even more timely and valuable purchase.” —School Library Journal “Deals with the hot, contemporary topic of online teen harassment, by both teens and by adults. Jacobs encourages readers to consider the viewpoints of victim, perpetrator, and bystander.” —Booklist “Thoroughly researched and fascinating. A must-read for young people and their parents and caregivers, not just in the United States, but worldwide.” —Richard Piggin, Head of Operations, Beatbullying, London, England “This book is at the forefront of cyberbullying literature.

  • Cosmopolitanism Or Something Else?
    Master’s Degree Studies in International and Comparative Education, No. 38 ————————————————— Cosmopolitanism or Something Else? A comparative educational research on primary school policies between Greece and Europe Sofia Exarchou May, 2016 Institute of International Education Department of Education Abstract In the 21st century, cosmopolitanism has become an ever emerging concept, as scholars turn to this worldview with the hope to address the unavoidable impacts of globalization. Simultaneously, the new educational trends in Europe in combination with the ongoing socio-political changes create new needs that demand a more cosmopolitan interference. With this in mind, the present research attempts to examine whether and how cosmopolitan ideals are promoted through education policies in Europe and to what extent these cosmopolitan ideals succeed to reach national policies and school practice in a country as Greece. To this end, the author conducts a qualitative multilevel study between Europe and Greece and bases her study on two research methods: interviews and document analysis. The interview and document analysis that follows leads to a comparison not only between the European and the Greek context but also between the policy and practice level that spawns a better and deeper understanding of how education promotes and can promote cosmopolitanism. The findings of the research highlight that the dilemma of whether to employ an ethnocentric or cosmopolitan educational approach can be acute. Parallel to that, the conflicting conceptions of cosmopolitanism between Greece and the European Union tend to render the moral aspects of education quite numb. Finally, the research closes with some recommendations for the future and suggestions for further studies.

Literary studies have long critiqued Enlightenment Liberalism’s ideal of the rational individual whose disembodied qualities of mind supposedly allowed him to own property and represent the general interest. A search for alternative models of community has recently led scholars to argue that the Victorians, armed with breakthroughs in biology and psychology, embraced an anti-rationalistic theory that imagined human life as a materially embodied and de-individuated tangle of instincts and sensations.

  • The Mystery of Sherlock Holmes
    Articulāte Volume 14 Article 2 2009 The ysM tery of Sherlock Holmes Ayesha Venkataraman Denison University Follow this and additional works at: http://digitalcommons.denison.edu/articulate Part of the English Language and Literature Commons Recommended Citation Venkataraman, Ayesha (2009) "The ysM tery of Sherlock Holmes," Articulāte: Vol. 14 , Article 2.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Articulāte by an authorized editor of Denison Digital Commons. The Mystery ofSherlock Holmes Ayesha Venkataraman '09 The marked eccentricity of Sherlock Holmes has been long remarked upon by Holmesian scholars and readers, becoming a trademark of his timeless allure. Simultaneously unsettling and attractive, the peculiarities of Holmes have caused much bemusement, settling as a smoky veil even as the story's mystery is expertly cleared up. Holmes appears rife with contradictions, ordering the world in a Platonic fashion, assuredly finding an objective truth while centralizing himself in a Neitzschean chaos of possibilities. The ease with which he repeatedly unravels the plot of various crimes demonstrates, with infuriating smugness the essential simplicity and predictability of human nature. Yet Sherlock himself slips between our fingers, remaining unpredictable by transgressing the "normative" social, sexual, professional, and gendered boundaries. This seemingly inexplicable queering or refutation of the normative by Sherlock can be better understood, in my opinion, when detection is viewed as a machinery of Foucault's Panopticism. Inspired by Bentham' s prison system, Foucault envisioned a transparent world of continuous supervision from atop a central tower such that those policed are permanently visible, while those policing become obscured so as to remain unverifiable and yet omnipresent.
