Founded in the pre-state era as an institution for continuing education, it became a teacher college in the 1960’s and than fully licensed as a multi-disciplinary academic college in 1979. Renowned for academic excellence and innovation, Beit Berl College sees education as a vehicle for social mobility, equality and justice for all sectors of Israeli society. Beit Berl College’s graduates comprise 20% of all Israeli secular public school teachers, Jewish and Arab, and hold prominent positions in Israeli national and local government, private and non-profit sectors, and the global arts community. With an enrollment of 10,000 students, the College offers an extensive range of undergraduate and graduate degrees, as well as certificate programs in three major faculties: # The Faculty of Education – known for its rigorous and entrepreneurial approach to teacher education and community education, the faculty serves the pre-service and professional development of teachers from early childhood to secondary education as well as informal education, at-risk youth and special education. The faculty includes the Arab Academic Institute of Education which trains teachers for the Israeli Arab education system with instruction in Arabic, as well as research and library facilities focusing on Arabic language and culture. In all graduate degrees and honors B.Ed programs Jewish and Arab students and faculty members study and teach together. # The Faculty of Society and Culture – offers interdisciplinary studies in the social sciences and humanities, including criminology and law enforcement, gender studies, public administration, social policy, information and knowledge management. The degree programs are carried out in cooperation with the Open University, providing an opportunity to those who entered the workforce directly, and may lack formal qualifications, to achieve higher education. # The Faculty of Arts: HaMidrasha – established as the center for a unique Israeli voice in conceptual art, using simple, cheap materials identified with the frugality of the establishment of the state, the faculty offers studies in fine arts, film and design, as well as graduate degrees in art education and art therapy. In addition, a preparatory program is available for promising young Arab artists, and most of them continue their undergraduate studies in the faculty. In addition, Beit Berl College offers a range of professional and continuing education programs in the Keshet Center for Continuing Education – including enrichment programs for educators and the general public. Beit Berl College’s faculty of 700 professors, lecturers and field professionals include leaders in their fields. The College maintains a comprehensive library system, including unique collections in Arabic – one of the largest in Israel – a dedicated art and digital media library, and a Center for Children’s Literature, including many rare volumes. | 3 4 | Beit Berl College PH Ludwigsburg University of Education الكلية األكادمييّة بيت بيرل Educating the Net-Generation: Political and Cultural Aspects Conference Schedule 23-24 March 2015 Monday, March 23 8:30-9:00 Registration 9:00-9:30 Opening Greetings Library Auditorium Prof. Amos Hofman, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Chairperson of the Conference, Beit Berl College Prof. Tamar Ariav, President, Beit Berl College Prof. Dr. Bärbel Völkel, Ludwigsburg University of Education Morning Session Library Auditorium Chairperson: Prof. Amos Hofman 9:30-10:15 Keynote Lecture Prof. Sheizaf Rafaeli, Haifa University Teaching and Educating a Networked Generation. 10:15-10:30 Discussion 10:30-11:00 Dr. Asaf Matskin, Beit Berl College What If There Was No Internet? - Presentation of Survey Results. 11:00-11:30 Coffee Break 11:30-12:00 Daniel Landau, Beit Berl College Art, Technology and Society: The Reside Project. | 5 12:15-13:45 Parallel Sessions A.

Since the mid-90s he has been exploring digital media with its aesthetic and social potential. His work typically uses multi-layered processes of research, documentation and mediamatic exploration – investigating the interchangeable qualities between documentary and fiction. His interest in narrative mechanism is essential to his examination of time, identity and social-political realities. In his presentation, Daniel Landau will focus on the “Reside” project. “Reside” is a documentary performance platform, exploring the relationship between people and places. It examines how displacement affects people’s core notion of body, time and identity. The “Reside” action begins by visiting a community as an alien “vessel” – mapping its social grid, its terrain and its resident’s stories. “Reside” is interested in exploring the migration of embodiments within a group of people sharing a common reality. The project extends documentary film conventions by using a process

(August 2010) Ho Rim Song, B.A., Pukyong National University; M.A., Pusan National University; M.A., Kansas State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Sally Robinson This dissertation explores the emergence of the complexity paradigm in our technoscience culture and proposes ―scientific fiction‖ as a genre of cultural studies based on that paradigm. Throughout this dissertation, I use the terms and concepts of complexity theory developed by new science, which revises the reductionism and linearity of classic science. The complexity paradigm signifies a system of all knowledge that conceives the productivity and creativity of the complexity created by interconnective and interactive dynamics among and within systems.

  • Mcnair 1 Eliza Mcnair Octavio Gonzalez WRIT 135 12 November
    McNair 1 Eliza McNair Octavio Gonzalez WRIT 135 12 November 2014 How Monsters can be more Human than Humans: Analyzing the Humanity of Antiheroic, Supernatural Beings with Nietzschean Morals and a Gothic Lens So, a vampire, a ghost, and a werewolf share a flat in London… what sounds like the beginning of a bad joke is actually an introduction to Being Human, a British television program created by Toby Whithouse that explores human psychology by way of three supernatural protagonists striving to achieve humanity. Whithouse’s program, which focuses on the afterlives of Mitchell, an on-the-wagon vampire; George, a reluctant werewolf; and Annie, a ghost haunting the flat in which she died, is reminiscent of gothic literature, not only because of the supernatural elements of the show but also for the suggestion that man, or monster, cannot only be good or evil. This idea of psychological complexity refutes the good versus evil dichotomy and instead recognizes a norm of immorality and of moral ambiguity. This shift from in paradigm for psychological analysis mirrors the shift from heroic to antiheroic culture described by the literary critic Victor Brombert in his book, Unheroic Modes. Antiheroes, Brombert says, are figures who defy the standards of classical heroism and demolish unachievable ideals perpetuated by traditional heroes. As supernatural antiheroes in Being Human, Mitchell, George, and Annie defy the apparent paradox of ‘human’ monsters and affirm that ‘human’ refers not to a species, but to an indestructible potential for salvation in a morally ambiguous existence. John Mitchell, the vampire in Being Human, was tortured by an internal struggle between his addiction to blood and his determination to stop killing.

  • The Vampire Returns to Britain Considering the Images of Vampires, Werewolves and Ghosts in BBC’S Being Human
    21 The Vampire Returns to Britain Considering the Images of Vampires, Werewolves and Ghosts in BBC’s Being Human Terry Gunnell Ritstjórar: Helga Ólafs Thamar M. Heijstra Félags- og mannvísindadeild Rannsóknir í félagsvísindum XV. Erindi flutt á ráðstefnu í október 2014 Reykjavík: Félagsvísindastofnun Háskóla Íslands ISBN: 978-9935-424-18-1 The Vampire Returns to Britain: Considering the Images of Vampires, Werewolves and Ghosts in BBC’s Being Human Terry Gunnell We tend to look at the belief world of the past as being something that was very different to our own. Those who told the folk legends and wonder tales which were so avidly collected in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are similarly often seen as uneducated innocents who believed in a supernatural world that we know better than to be drawn to accept. As educated beings who have studied physics and chemistry, we tend to call spades “spades”, and ghosts “figments of our imagination”. In a similar way, we tend to look at the world in which legends used to be told in front of the farmhouse fire as part of communal ceilidhs and kvöldvökur (evening wakes) as being something that belonged to the past. What we often somewhat arrogantly forget is that our personal needs for wonder, mystery, suspense and good entertainment are as strong as those of our forefathers (if not stronger considering the hours that we work); and that as the poster on the wall of Fox Mulder, hero of The X-Files (Fox: 1993-2002) so succinctly pointed out, we all seem to have a great desire to believe (see http://x- files.wikia.com/wiki/%22I_Want_to_Believe%22_poster, retrieved 22 August 2014).
