It involves languages and practice therein which implies at least two disciplines: semiotics and pragmatic media – shall we say, communication theory1. However, as will be seen in this book, media literacy goes far beyond its conventional definition. Media literacy is about education and pedagogy and, ultimately, is all about education in media. It is also associated with cognitive psychology and psychology in general. It is related to media studies and all its derivative disciplines and touches on sociology and “social engineering;” it is connected with educational and social policies, but also with the theory of software and programming. Media literacy has a lot to do with the humanities, social science and cultural anthropology. Consequently, media literacy deals with the study of cultures and looks at the problems relating to hybridization, interconnection and cross-cultural issues between societies and peoples. In other words, media literacy is all about intercultural dialogue. This books deals with all of the above issues either directly or indirectly but all the articles have a precise recurring theme. Apart from being rooted in specific disciplines and theoretical approaches, each text deals directly with the practice of media literacy and with how knowledge based on scientific method is applied to specific empirical studies pursuing specific ends. So we have subtitled the book: Strategies, Debates and Good Practices. We are interested in identifying the aspirations, concerns, problems and examples of action that arise in today's world of media literacy from an international perspective. Therefore, we present several approaches and various cultural contexts which highlight the essence of media literacy in all its manifestations. The book contains a selection of texts discussed at conferences, seminars, debates and meetings held by the Department of Communication and Education within the UNESCO-UNAOC Global UNITWIN Chair on Media and Information Literacy and Intercultural Dialogue (especially during MILID WEEK in 2012 and 2013, but also at events and discussions that have taken place between 2012-2014). The texts reveal the breadth, diversity and richness of a field that is constantly expanding and changing media and educational practice; a field which is at the threshold of the new knowledge societies and forms part of the cultural heritage of our time. 1 Obviously, pragmatics is a dimension of semiotics, but when we say "pragmatic media" we refer to language in the physical situation, in contact with instruments that allow interconnection and give support to the "significant". 5 MEDIA LITERACY AND INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE Strategies, Debates and Good Practices Developing the Audiovisual Competence in the new Catalan educational programme Alba Ambròs Pallarès Department of Education in Language and Literature Universitat of Barcelona EduMèdia [email protected] Abstract For a long time, two opposite points of view have centred a debate: whether Media Literacy should be a subject within the curriculum or whether Media Literacy contents should be dealt with across curriculum. Nowadays, new educational guidelines coming from the European Reference Framework on Key Competences for Lifelong Learning call for a new debate as the key competences have been incorporated into the currículum. My contribution deals with the formal Spanish and Catalan curricula for primary and secondary and the way they have incorporated them on curricular subjects. In 2007, a new educational programme, Ley de Ordenación Educativa (LOE, Real Decreto 1513/2006), was designed by both the MEC and the Autonomous Catalan Government. Media Literacy had a more explicit presence as it became integrated within the eight key competences, specifically on the Audiovisual and Linguistic communicative competence one. However, as previous attempts to integrate Media Literacy in the curricula had proved deficient and the new competences have not yet either been fully developed, it becomes necessary to put forward the specific contents for the Audiovisual competence. Consequently, in 2009, the Catalan government requested the design of a syllabus for each of the eight key competences which were not related to a specific subject. A trial detailed syllabus was developed for the Audiovisual competence so as to incorporate it into the previous educational programme. I was asked to collaborate in the development and organisation of the main objectives and contents for primary and secondary. In particular, I was asked to arrange the sequencing by stages and levels of this parallel educational programme. The theoretical framework to develop the Audiovisual competence came from the “European Reference Framework on Key Competences for Lifelong Learning” (2007), Ferrés (2006, 2012), “A European approach to Media Literacy in the digital environment” (2007) and Bernabeu et alter (2012). Key words: Media Literacy, media competences, educational programmes, European policies for Media Literacy, key competences, media education. 6 MEDIA LITERACY AND INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE Strategies, Debates and Good Practices 1. Introduction Media Literacy has centred a debate in the education scientific field from two opposite points of view in order to find the best way to integrate it in everyday school practice to achieve media education1: whether Media Literacy should be a subject within the curriculum or whether Media Literacy contents should be dealt with across curriculum. In view of this dilemma, some of the

  • Saraband for Dead Lovers
    Saraband for Dead Lovers By Helen de Guerry Simpson Saraband for Dead Lovers I - DUCHESS SOPHIA "I send with all speed," wrote Elizabeth-Charlotte, Duchesse d'Orléans, tucked away in her little room surrounded by portraits of ancestors, "to wish you, my dearest aunt and Serene Highness, joy of the recent betrothal. It will redound to the happiness of Hanover and Zelle. It links two dominions which have long possessed for each other the affection natural to neighbours, but which now may justly embrace as allies. It appears to me that no arrangement could well be more suitable, and I offer to the high contracting parties my sincerest wishes for a continuance of their happiness." The Duchess smiled grimly, dashed her quill into the ink, and proceeded in a more homely manner. "Civilities apart, What in heaven's name is the Duke of Hanover about? This little Sophie-Dorothée will never do; she is not even legitimate, and as for her mother, you know as well as I do that Eléonore d'Olbreuse is nothing better than a French she-poodle to whom uncle George William of Zelle treated himself when he was younger, I will not say more foolish, and has never been able to get rid of since. What, with all respect, was your husband thinking of to bring French blood into a decent German family, and connected with the English throne, too! In brief, my dearest aunt, all this is a mystery to me. I can only presume that it was concluded over your head, and that money played the chief role.

  • Nostromo a Tale of the Seaboard
    NOSTROMO A TALE OF THE SEABOARD By Joseph Conrad "So foul a sky clears not without a storm." —SHAKESPEARE TO JOHN GALSWORTHY Prepared and Published by: Ebd E-BooksDirectory.com AUTHOR'S NOTE "Nostromo" is the most anxiously meditated of the longer novels which belong to the period following upon the publication of the "Typhoon" volume of short stories. I don't mean to say that I became then conscious of any impending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life. And perhaps there was never any change, except in that mysterious, extraneous thing which has nothing to do with the theories of art; a subtle change in the nature of the inspiration; a phenomenon for which I can not in any way be held responsible. What, however, did cause me some concern was that after finishing the last story of the "Typhoon" volume it seemed somehow that there was nothing more in the world to write about. This so strangely negative but disturbing mood lasted some little time; and then, as with many of my longer stories, the first hint for "Nostromo" came to me in the shape of a vagrant anecdote completely destitute of valuable details. As a matter of fact in 1875 or '6, when very young, in the West Indies or rather in the Gulf of Mexico, for my contacts with land were short, few, and fleeting, I heard the story of some man who was supposed to have stolen single-handed a whole lighter-full of silver, somewhere on the Tierra Firme seaboard during the troubles of a revolution.
