Believing that transformation is possible and that it must come from within, Clar Doyle illustrates the vital connection between drama and critical pedagogy. Presuming that a practice informed by the theory of critical pedagogy is essential to achieve an emancipatory education, Doyle shows how well drama and aesthetic education can encourage a pedagogy that is critical. He explores the real as well as the perceived values and understandings given to the aesthetic in school settings, how tastes and awareness are produced and how students' backgrounds inform the way in which art and drama are experienced. Furthermore, Doyle shows the ways in which the dominant cultural agencies rob both teachers and students of creativity through their reproductive policies. The book explores such critical questions as: the nature of culture; the historical place of drama within education; and the debate between drama and theatre as it applies to schooling. With a critical perspective, he reviews the current status of drama education and suggests ways in which educators can redefine their mission and refine their practice. By examining the influence of the culture industry and the issues surrounding style choices, Doyle highlights the challenge that teachers must meet in order to use performance skills to tease out attitudes and understandings. He concludes by showing how drama can help students, not only to bring about change in their own lives, but to effect change in the world around them.

All stories are swung round by one of my sea-anchors – the Rock, and then moored next to the rocks of the BC Coastline

Curtains of Iron and Gold by Heikki Eskelinen,Ilkka Liikanen,Jukka Oksa Pdf
First published in 1999, this book examines the construction of new political, economic and mental borders in post-Cold War Europe. Various national and regional settings are analyzed along the old East-West divide. In post-Cold War Europe the East-West divide no longer exists in the form of the clear-cut Iron Curtain, separating two security blocs, two politico-economic systems, and two ideologically and culturally distinct worlds. Still, it remains clearly discernible, both in the form of unrelenting politico-cultural differences and as an economic Golden Curtain. At the same time, a more complicated system of intersecting political, economic and mental borders keeps developing. Today, there are various scales of interaction, which produce distinctive national, regional and local experiences of borders. In this book, the construction of new political, economic and mental borders is analysed by specialists from both sides of the former East-West divide. The future of European borders is discussed in various national and regional settings, from the Barents Region in the North to the Old Habsburgian lands in ‘Mitteleuropa’.

Behind the Curtains of Joy by Salem Saied Salem Pdf
"Behind the Curtains of Joy" is a book that embodies the struggle of the depressed, through which we get closer to some of their pains and needs, reveal some of their precious treasures, and help others understand the horrible sufferings of the depressed, and how the sound of their silence is loudly voiced out every day. In fact, depression is the worst diseases of the world, and the most painful and complicated one that it killed more humans than wars. Scholars and philosophers exerted much effort to define depression, however, it remained a disease difficult to understand and manage. Some define it as: a mere manifestation of a sense of helplessness toward achievement of goals, in which case despair is attributed to personal anguishes. In this context, hope is seen as a function for recognizing the likelihood of success in terms of its relevance to achieving goals. Others described it as a mental illness characterized by a deep and lasting feeling of sadness, despair, or loss of interest in things that were once a source of joy, accompanied by a sleep, appetite for food, and mental processes disorder. Other scholars confine it to a state of despair, hopelessness, and fear, accompanied by negative thoughts, and changes in the ecosystem of motivation, or in the driving forces of man, in the perceptions, and in the negative behavior in general. Many others got closer to what depression is by defining it as "a state of ongoing severe sadness caused by sad painful conditions, representing something missing, though the patient seems to be unaware of the real source of his/her sadness". However, other scholars defined depression as: "a case of psychological imbalance, which primarily affects the person's mood and ideals, thus exposing him/her to moral pain and distress". It thus becomes clear that there are many definitions and explanations put forward by many scholars and philosophers who are affiliated to study of Medicine, Psychology, and Sociology. However, the most accurate and correct definition of depression from my point of view is: "that feeling only depressed people experience." Yes, this only is the definition of depression. Simply, in order for someone to be able to define depression the way it should be defined, s/he must first experience it so s/he can fairly describe it, which is something I do not wish for anyone.
