Liberlit 6 Pamphlet 2015 Final LIBERLIT 6: Teaching for Transformation Monday 16 February 2015: Attendee Pack WELCOME TO LIBERLIT 6 The 6th Annual Liberlit Conference for Discussion and Defense of The Role of ‘Literary’ Texts in the English Curriculum Theme for Liberlit 6: Teaching for Transformation Plenary Speaker for Liberlit 6: IRA NADEL Texts as Transformative Tools With sponsorship from http//www.liberlit.com 1 LIBERLIT 6: Teaching for Transformation Monday 16 February 2015: Attendee Pack LIBERLIT MANIFESTO We believe literature to be an essential element of the English curriculum in Japan, and its vital future presence must be ensured and defended. By ‘literature’, we mean authentic texts that use language in creative and careful ways to tell stories, convey impressions, express original opinions, pose critical questions and demand more than simplistic, pragmatic responses. Those texts could include poetry, novels, plays, movies, songs, TV series, or thoughtful authentic writings on culture, society, or history. Teaching literature always means teaching much more than just language. Liberlit will address attitudes and approaches to ‘literary’ texts in English. We lament the ongoing ‘dumbing down’ and ‘infantilisation’ of English education in Japan and the consequent marginalization of literature in the curriculum at all levels. Our conviction is that literature offers learners access to the kinds of creative, critical, and non-complacent views of the world that Japanese students sorely need and indeed, in many cases, crave. Literature has the power to engage and motivate second-language learners; its potential for multiple interpretations develops the minds of students who often believe that every question has but one answer, and the authenticity of literary texts respects them as intellectually maturing adults. Eye-opening materials and mind-widening methods should be an integral part of the education process at all levels, but are essential at university level before students go forth to live among the complexities of the ‘real’ world. Liberlit will explore the idea that it is unkind and disingenuous to deprive students of the marvelously varied, meaningful, and challenging content that only great works of literature and thoughtful authentic writings on culture can offer. We will also investigate and expound techniques, methods, and ways that literary texts can foreground the roots of education, liberate English language into maturely creative uses and instigate a freer, bolder expression of original opinions. With your participation, we hope Liberlit will open up an active and collaborative community of thought, reflection, inquiry and discussion. We hope to make Liberlit an ongoing forum in which we can establish how, where, and why literature should rightly figure in Japan’s English curriculum. Theme for LIBERLIT 6 Teaching for Transformation Transformation is an essential part of how education takes place. It facilitates and is testimony to the basic concept of growth in our teaching. For the Sixth Annual Liberlit Conference, we want to focus on the process of transforming: how it occurs most meaningfully, and how to enhance it without forcing it. Transformation is central to the texts we use. Whether poetry, novel, film, or essay, every genuine literary text incorporates a significant notion of change. At the same time, the texts call forth a response from students that includes an internal shift in thinking, feeling, or worldview. Most of the texts we use also contain an element of social transformation--sometimes foregrounded, often subtly displayed--and typically hinge on a movement from passive to active. The language acquired with such texts is different from that of traditional textbooks, where the status quo tends to be fixed and the language has little viability and even less life. A process of transformation is central to the texts, language, activities, and ways of thinking that characterize a dynamic classroom. Without the careful introduction, discussion, and facilitation of changing, adjusting, altering, and transforming, learning will not produce the ‘A-ha!’ moments of epiphany that can change students into better, stronger, and fuller versions of themselves. This year’s Liberlit Conference will focus on all aspects of teaching and learning that contribute to transformation in its many manifestations.

On Becoming-Literature Presenter: Joff Bradley Abstract: Here, I introduce the ‘image’ of literature developed by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Becoming, incorporeal transformation, health, minor literature, and the virtual are some of the thought-provoking concepts which I shall endeavour to explain. As we shall see, writing is a question of becoming - it is fragmentary, always in the midst of things, and destined for a missing people, a ‘people yet to come’. Therefore, teaching transformation through literature is not a sad or militant pedagogy as such, that is to say, a dogmatic methodology thrust upon pre-formed subjectivities, but rather a curious happening - in-between - part of process of creative, even futural, involution. I shall provide ample examples from literature, film and poetry to explain this. And to demonstrate the overarching, pedagogical and philosophical implications of this perspective, I shall reflect upon the ideas of transformative ‘modes of thought’, ‘ascending forms of existence’, and ‘immanent life’. I grant especial significance to the following quote by Deleuze: “The ultimate aim of literature is to set free, in the delirium, this creation of a health or this invention of a people, that is, a possibility of life” and end by considering Nietzsche’s always most unsettling and Unheimlich provocation: become what you are. Biographical Data: Joff P.N. Bradley teaches in the faculty of foreign languages at Teikyo University, Tokyo, Japan. Although born and bred in northern England, he is a resident of Japan and applies his long-standing interest in schizoanalysis, European philosophy and critical thought to the social and political problems affecting his students. He has published articles in Asia, Europe, North America and the Middle East. 1B.

  • Clergy Sexual Abuse: Annotated Bibliography of Conceptual and Practical Resources
    Clergy Sexual Abuse: Annotated Bibliography of Conceptual and Practical Resources. Preface The phenomenon of sexual abuse as committed by persons in fiduciary relationships is widespread among helping professions and is international in scope. This bibliography is oriented to several specific contexts in which that phenomenon occurs. The first context is the religious community, specifically Christian churches, and particularly in the U.S. This is the context of occurrence that I best know and understand. The second context for the phenomenon is the professional role of clergy, a religious vocation and culture of which I am a part. While the preponderance of sources cited in this bibliography reflect those two settings, the intent is to be as comprehensive as possible about sexual boundary violations within the religious community. Many of the books included in this bibliography were obtained through interlibrary loan services that are available at both U.S. public and academic libraries. Many of the articles that are listed were obtained through academic libraries. Daily newspaper media sources are generally excluded from this bibliography for practical reasons due to the large quantity, lack of access, and concerns about accuracy and completeness. In most instances, author descriptions and affiliations refer to status at time of publication.

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

  • Journal of Lilt
    The Journal of Literature in Language Teaching, Vol. 4, No. 1, June 2015 From the Co-Editors Friends and Colleagues, This is the sixth issue of the Journal of Literature in Language Teaching. This journal is a peer-reviewed publication of the JALT Special Interest Group (SIG) Literature in Language Teaching (LiLT). In this issue, we have submissions relating to literature in practice from around Asia, showing that LiLT is becoming known outside Japan. In this issue we also report on some of the LiLT activities of the most recent JALT PanSIG held in May in Kobe and Neil Addison and Tara McIlroy describe in some detail the presentations of the sixth LiberLit conference held in February at Meiji Gakuin University. In this issue, in his literature in practice article, Justin Nicholes, drawing on Hanauer to some extent, describes how he used Guo Xiaolu’s (2007) short story “Winter Worm, Summer Weed,” as a key text to enable scaffolding of meaningful reading and writing. Next, Ian Tan from Singapore presents his action research where he reports on the effect of using literary texts in English language learning as a way to sensitize students to the effects of highlighted language used. He explains the activities in which students develop their confidence in identifying implied meaning and elaborating on the effectiveness of diction. His action research indicates that there was an improvement in the comprehension test results of students who were involved in intervention lessons. Finally, Susan Laura Sullivan details interesting results of her literature in practice project through which she introduced students to 20th century art movements.

  • Lilt 4 1 Addison Mcilroy
    The Journal of Literature in Language Teaching, Vol. 4, No. 1, June 2015 Conference report on the sixth LiberLit conference, Meiji Gakuin University Neil Addison, Tokyo Woman`s Christian University Tara McIlroy, Kanda University of International Studies The 6th Liberlit conference was held at Meiji Gakuin University, Shirokane campus, on February 16th. This year’s theme was Teaching for Transformation which drew a wide range of presentation topics and was explored by 21 presentations. The purpose of this year’s theme was to discuss the processes involved in bringing the often dry language of literary texts alive, and attendees and presenters were asked to consider how best to transform ink spots on the page into ‘A-ha’ moments of student epiphany which might also transform learners into better, stronger, fuller versions of themselves. Yet again, the quality of the presentations was high, ranging from discussions on how a reader’s response to texts changes over time, how a Deleuzian approach can better explicate our understanding of who a literature reader is, an exploration of the relationship between personal experience, empathy and poetry composition, and practical suggestions for testing students’ literature comprehension. Plenary The plenary talk was titled Texts as Transformative Tools by Ira Nadel from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. In this presentation Professor Nadel examined the reading and teaching of literature through a reader response paradigm, and discussed both how lives transform lives and how lives transform texts, asking his audience to consider what a literary text does rather than what a text means. Approaching literature from the perspective of Stanley Fish’s affective stylistics and Jans Hauss’ perception theory, Nadel invited the audience to consider literature as a performative art -- a temporal rather than a spatial entity, and employed works of art and imagery to explicate these ideas.
