Multilingual Matters Plurilingual Education in a Monolingualised
Book SynopsisThis book explores alternative approaches to foreign language education in a context which is traditionally dominated by English-only approaches, and widely viewed as highly monolingual. It examines the grassroots classroom practices of teachers and their assistants involved in plurilingual education in the first longitudinal research of its type in the Japanese context. These practices are grounded in depictions of the practitioners' personal and professional trajectories through explorations of their visual linguistic autobiographies. The holistic ethnography thus deepens understanding of plurilingualism in a hitherto underexplored context, and should be of interest to students and researchers of language teaching, teacher training, language policy, sociolinguistics and plurilingualism.

Multilingual Matters Shades of Decolonial Voices in Linguistics
Book SynopsisThis book argues that Linguistics, in common with other disciplines such as Anthropology and Sociology, has been shaped by colonization. It outlines how linguistic practices may be decolonized, and the challenges which such decolonization poses to linguists working in diverse areas of Linguistics. It concludes that decolonization in Linguistics is an ongoing process with no definite end point and cannot be completely successful until universities and societies are decolonized too. In keeping with the subject matter, the book prioritizes discussion, debate and the collaborative, creative production of knowledge over individual authorship. Further, it mingles the voices of established authors from a variety of disciplines with audience comment and dialogue to produce a challenging and inspiring text that represents an important step along the path it attempts to map out.Trade ReviewI have been learning so much from the Global Virtual Forum that I eagerly anticipated reading this book. It did not disappoint. From its moving tribute to Atila Calvente to its polyglossic treatment of knowledge and the question of who has the warrant to legitimize it, this book is both informative and inspirational, summoning us all to join in decolonizing linguistics. * Diane Larsen-Freeman, Professor Emerita, University of Michigan, USA *This second volume from the Global Virtual Forum constitutes wading-the-languaging of decolonizing linguistics. Shaking off academia’s naturalized publishing regimes, it aligns with new creative waves-of-thinking that offer cascading waterfalls and deep currents that do the important work of disturbing mythical promises of universalistic truths. Scholars of all shades and denominations need to immerse themselves in these waterways. * Sangeeta Bagga-Gupta, Jönköping University, Sweden *In this thought-provoking and inspirational book, readers will find themselves invited to engage in dialogues about the various aspects of decolonial challenges, which reflect the different iterations of commitment to decolonization among the contributing authors. It is a treat if you are open to rethinking what language is and envisioning an alternative, inclusive intellectual trajectory of decolonial linguistics. * Mari Haneda, Pennsylvania State University, USA *Table of ContentsDedication Magda Madany-Saa: Interlude: In Memory of Átila Calvente Gratitudes and Acknowledgements Peter E.

Multilingual Matters Foundational Concepts of Decolonial and Southern
Book SynopsisThis book brings together 11 prominent scholars and political activists to discuss and explore issues around postcolonialism, decoloniality, Theories of the South and Epistemologies of the South. These wide-ranging discussions touch upon issues from academic research methods and writing conventions to global struggles for justice. Together the chapters, as well as the interventions from forum participants which are characteristic of this series, paint a complex and dynamic picture of areas of thought and action that are constantly evolving in response to the demands of a world in flux. The book is a major intervention in current debates about the geopolitics of knowledge, as well as an illustration of the ways in which scholarship in the Global North(s) is indebted to the diverse traditions of scholarship in the Global South(s).Trade ReviewIt is a true pleasure to (re)encounter some of the wise elders (if I may) of the contemporary global struggles against the racist, colonial, patriarchal and capitalist death project. This volume attests to the creativity, tenacity and longevity of such powerful struggles and is a wonderful gift to all, including those who are about to join. * Julia Suárez Krabbe, Roskilde University, Denmark *For applied linguists who are looking to explore Southern epistemologies and decolonial scholarship, there are few better starting points than this book. The volume brings together some of the most prominent scholars in Southern epistemologies and engages them in conversation, helping readers understand key points of convergence and divergence. If you’ve been wanting to learn more about Southern perspectives but weren’t sure where to start, this is the book for you! * Alissa J. Hartig, Portland State University, USA *The volume is a unique collection of discussions with leading scholars and political activists concerned with decoloniality, Theories of the South and related fields. It is designed to allow the contributors to tease out the weaknesses and strengths of the concepts, thereby providing nuanced insights. This publication is essential reading for academics, students, and political activists in these fields globally. * Felix Banda, University of the Western Cape, South Africa *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments and Gratitude Foreword Chapter 1.

Multilingual Matters Second Language Literacy Pedagogy: A
Book SynopsisThis book provides a detailed and comprehensive design of a new second language literacy pedagogy and the results of implementing this pedagogy in different contexts in order to demonstrate that it is possible to address some long-standing second language (L2) curriculum and literacy development challenges. The author clearly explains the theory behind Vygotskian Sociocultural Theory of Mind and Systemic Functional Linguistics and how they can inform literacy pedagogy in the form of Concept-Based Language Instruction and a Division-of-Labor Pedagogy. By presenting detailed qualitative and quantitative analyses and results of multiple forms of data, the author demonstrates the effectiveness of the pedagogy. In conjunction with background on the intricate and interdependent nature of the concepts needed for second language literacy development, and in contrast with a cognitivist approach to reading pedagogy and research, the author provides all the details necessary for teachers and researchers to appreciate both the theory and how it can be applied to their practice.Trade ReviewThis book is unique in so many ways. It examines both the processes and products of literacy development from a Vygotskian SCT perspective. Instructionally, concept-based learning and a division of labor pedagogy are used. Changes in teacher and peer mediation as well as student verbalizations are shown to lead to the internalization of key literacy concepts. This is a must-read for anyone interested in a Vygotskian perspective of second language literacy development. * Merrill Swain, OISE, University of Toronto, Canada *A groundbreaking book that sheds light on L2 literacy pedagogy and offers valuable insights into L2 reading research from a Vygotskian perspective. This work will inspire future investigations into praxis-based teaching and research in L2 development. A must-read for all researcher-teachers. * Eduardo Negueruela-Azarola, University of Navarra, Spain *Urbanski’s work convincingly demonstrates the relevance of sociocultural theory for second language development, including reading ability. An especially attractive aspect of her approach is ‘division of labor pedagogy’, which takes advantage of the power of the collective for the development of the individual. I encourage all reading educators to engage with this work. There is much to learn from it. * James P. Lantolf, Greer Professor Emeritus, The Pennsylvania State University, USA *There is a widely recognised disparity in foreign language programmes between courses that focus on language learning and those aimed at interpreting and analysing literary texts in the target language (Alderson, 1984; Bernhardt, 2010). This book offers a valuable resource to address this challenge by providing readers with a comprehensive overview of the L2 development process. It introduces an innovative instructional approach that combines C-BLI and DOLP pedagogy to bridge the gap between language acquisition and literary analysis. * Zhiyun Huang and Zhanhao Jiang, Southeast University, China, Educational Review 2023 *Table of ContentsFigures Tables Acknowledgements Chapter 1.

Berghahn Books Forging Architectural Tradition: National
Book Synopsis During the nineteenth century, a change developed in the way architectural objects from the distant past were viewed by contemporaries. Such edifices, be they churches, castles, chapels or various other buildings, were not only admired for their aesthetic values, but also for the role they played in ancient times, and their role as reminders of important events from the national past. Architectural heritage often was (and still is) an important element of nation building. Authors address the process of building national myths around certain architectural objects. National narratives are questioned, as is the position architectural heritage played in the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries.Trade Review “The book Forging Architectural Tradition is an excellent contribution for anyone interested in the creation of national narratives around architectural buildings. It is suitable for architects, art historians, historians, sociologists, cultural researchers, and the general cultural public, as well as anyone interested in the national narratives of ‘small’ nations. The topics explored in the book should not be viewed as a part of the distant past but as still current as the historical processes described in the book can help us deal with problems related to the politicization of heritage that is still evident today.” • Prostor “The scholarly essays in this book present a sweeping panorama of this fascinating development based on new research, otherwise virtually inaccessible in English.” • József Sisa, Institute of Art History, ELKH Research Centre for the Humanities, Budapest, HungaryTable of Contents List of Figures and Tables Introduction: Forging Architectural Tradition Aleksander Łupienko Part I: Architectural Conservation and National Narratives Chapter 1.

Berghahn Books The Origins of German Self-Cultivation: Bildung
Book Synopsis Recent devaluations of a liberal arts education call the formative concept of Bildung, a defining model of self-cultivation rooted in 18th and 19th century German philosophy and culture, into question and force us to reconsider what it once meant and now means to be an “educated” individual. This volume uses an arc of interdisciplinary scholarship to map both the epistemological origins and cultural expressions of the pivotal notion of Bildung at the heart of pursuit in the humanities. From its intriguing original historical manifestations to its continuing resonance in current ongoing debates surrounding the humanities, the editors urge us to ask and discover how the classical concept of Bildung, so central to humanistic inquiry, was historically imagined and applied in its original German context.Table of Contents List of Illustrations Acknowledgments Introduction Jennifer Ham, Ulrich Kinzel, and David Tse-chien Pan Chapter 1.

Berghahn Books Heritage under Socialism: Preservation in Eastern
Book Synopsis How was heritage understood and implemented in European socialist states after World War II? By exploring national and regional specificities within the broader context of internationalization, this volume enriches the conceptual, methodological and empirical scope of heritage studies through a series of fascinating case studies. Its transnational approach highlights the socialist world’s diverse interpretations of heritage and the ways in which they have shaped the trajectories of present-day preservation practices.Trade Review “The introduction nicely summarizes the general issues that distinguish this work from other post-socialist heritage studies in the region. Importantly, this volume takes socialist approaches to heritage seriously rather than seeing socialism as a past best forgotten…Recommended” • Choice “The chapters collected together in this volume offer valuable insights into the diverse and complex field of cultural heritage studies in Eastern and Central Europe… Due to the sheer variety of themes, methodologies and approaches, the book constitutes an important contribution not only for heritage studies scholars, but also for Cold War historians, and specialists in Eastern European, Soviet as well as transnational and global cultural history.” • Heritage & Society “Looking into the nuances of the socialist heritage definition is one of the major values of this volume. The papers convincingly demonstrate that heritage experts addressed issues similar to their colleagues outside the Iron Curtain and were parts of a global discourse contributing to the theoretical and practical processes that took the field where it is today…Specialists in heritage studies dedicated to decolonizing the academic discourse will find the contributions inspiring. The volume, however, also offers a new insight into the cultural and political history of the region through analyzing the heritage domain.” • Austrian History Yearbook “This coherent, well-conceived book presents a wide range of issues through a selection of interesting cases. Its focus on the Central and Eastern Europe region is an important addition to the wider discussion concerning the geopolitics of knowledge.” • Magdalena Banaszkiewicz, Jagiellonian UniversityTable of Contents List of Illustrations Acknowledgements Introduction: Heritage Under Socialism: Trajectories of Preserving the Tangible Past in Postwar Eastern and Central Europe Corinne Geering and Paul Vickers Part I: Transfers and Exchanges in Heritage Policies and Practices Chapter 1.

Berghahn Books Ethnographers Before Malinowski: Pioneers of
Book Synopsis Focusing on some of the most important ethnographers in early anthropology, this volume explores twelve defining works in the foundational period from 1870 to 1922. It challenges the assumption that intensive fieldwork and monographs based on it emerged only in the twentieth century. What has been regarded as the age of armchair anthropologists was in reality an era of active ethnographic fieldworkers, including women practitioners and Indigenous experts. Their accounts have multiple layers of meaning, style, and content that deserve fresh reading. This reference work is a vital source for rewriting the history of anthropology.Trade Review “This volume, its contributing authors, and the fieldworkers and ethnographies they restore constitute a creative, necessary resistance to iconoclastic, postcolonial assaults on anthropology. Highly recommended.” • Choice “This collection is an important event in the subfield of history of anthropology. Its editors, two well-known European scholars, have assembled an impressive collection of essays … It should be in the library of every major university.” • Andrew Lyons, Wilfrid Laurier University, WaterlooTable of Contents List of Figures Acknowledgments Foreword: Unearthing the Hidden Treasures of Early Ethnography Thomas Hylland Eriksen Introduction: .

Berghahn Books Anthropology and Ethnography are Not Equivalent
Book SynopsisIn recent years, crucial questions have been raised about anthropology as a discipline, such as whether ethnography is central to the subject, and how imagination, reality and truth are joined in anthropological enterprises. These interventions have impacted anthropologists and scholars at large.

Six anthropologists with field experience in Egypt, Greece, India, Laos, Mauritius, Thailand and Switzerland critically discuss these propositions in order to renew anthropology for the future.

Anthem Press Transpacific Connections: Literary and Cultural
Book SynopsisTranspacific Connections: Literary and Cultural Production by and about Latin American Nikkeijin is a cross-cultural work combining Latin American and Japanese studies. It contains original research on social and cultural relations between Japan and Latin America, ranging from Japanese inspirations in one of the Mexican most renowned poets, Brazilian dekasegi (temporary workers in Japan) described in a variety of testimonials, Japanese community in Brazil and its literary production, and a Mexican telenovela, inspired by the Japanese culture to European inspirations in a Nikkei Peruvian writer, Higa Oshiro.Trade Review“This important volume offers a deeper understanding of the literary and cultural production by and about Nikkeijin. The chapters not only explore novels, short stories, poems and art but also a telenovela and are written by a group of intergenerational scholars. An essential book to those who want to understand the historical, literary, cultural, and social relations between Latin America and Japan in a way that is striking, unique, and academically robust.” — Araceli Tinajero, The City College of New York and the Graduate Center, USA.“The collection of essays compiled in this book addresses the unique perspective of Nikkei communities without succumbing to orientalist notions of Japaneseness’, offering fresh insight into the diversity of Nikkei cultural representations, often exoticized in Western academic circles. The multidisciplinary nature of the book makes it an important reference for scholars and researchers in a variety of academic fields.” — Randy Muth, Kio University, Nara, Japan.“These essays are themselves ukiyo-e, or ‘pictures of a floating world’: together they constitute a signal contribution to the emerging field of ‘Trans-Pacific Studies’. Presented by some of the field’s outstanding researchers, these perceptive analyses — foregrounding complex relations between Japan on the one hand and Mexico, Peru and Brazil on the other — offer virtual case studies in the manner in which transnational flows and intercultural identities have materialized in today’s global modernity.” — Eugenio Matibag, Iowa State University, lowa, USA. "Transpacific Connections: Literary and Cultural Production by and about Latin American, Nikkeijin makes an important and timely contribution to the emerging field of Transpacific Studies. The collection offers insightful comparative analysis, a critically astute introductory essay, and original, wide-ranging, and erudite contributions. Written with meticulous research and deep expertise on cultural connections between Latin America and Asia, it represents a significant contribution to the field because of its sustained focus on the Japanese - Latin American cultural production through not only aesthetic form but also social phenomena such as immigration. It is a necessary book that allows readers to see in detail how the complex cultural identity of the Latin American Nikkeijin is constructed. This rigorous and sophisticated volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars in Latin American Studies, Comparative Literature, and Transpacific Studies." — Gorica Majstorovic, Ph.D., Professor of Spanish, Stockton University, Galloway, USA.Table of ContentsCONTENTS Notes on Contributors Introduction Chapter 1.

Anthem Press Translation Theory for Literary Translators
Book SynopsisWhat comes first in regard to translation theory and translation practice? Do theorists observe what translators do and develop theories based on that?

Book SynopsisCultural heritage is one of the most important tourism resources in the world. This book provides a comprehensive theoretical overview and applied knowledge of the issues, practices, current debates, concepts and management concerns associated with cultural heritage-based tourism. The second edition has been updated to include timely and emerging topics such as geopolitics, conflict, solidarity tourism, overtourism and climate change.

This edition includes up-to-date data, statistics, references, case material, figures and pedagogical tools. It remains an important and accessible text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of cultural and heritage tourism, cultural resource management, and museum management.Trade ReviewProfessor Dallen Timothy is one of the world’s most eminent scholars in the field of cultural heritage tourism. Using an articulate but accessible style, he covers a comprehensive range of pertinent themes from the basics of heritage management to complex issues of authenticity and the interpretation of the contested past. This book provides invaluable material for Cultural Tourism and Heritage Management courses at all levels. * Melanie Kay Smith, Budapest Metropolitan University, Hungary *This thought-provoking, comprehensive book, written by ‘unashamedly, a self-proclaimed heritage fanatic’ will assist students, scholars and practitioners to understand, conceptualize and effectively and responsibly manage cultural heritage. Those interested in participating in the academic discussion about cultural heritage tourism, recognizing it as a complex multidimensional phenomenon, must read this clear, well-structured and readable book. * Yaniv Poria, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel *Dallen Timothy's second edition of Cultural Heritage and Tourism is a must-read book on heritage, given the accessible style and breadth and depth with which the topic is dealt. The book is an up-to-date synthesis of key thinking on this area, written by an acknowledged expert on heritage tourism. * Stephen J. Page, University of Hertfordshire, UK *In compiling the second edition, Dallen J. Timothy successfully devotes space for emerging topics such as the sustainable use of cultural/heritage resources and technology […] Going forward, as the globe struggles to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic, this new edition will conceptually and practically offer a holistic platform for developing transformative/restorative heritage tourism, devoted to moral values, replenishment, and the wellbeing of humanity, for better times, so that it can remain resilient and thriving during catastrophic events. -- Deepak Chhabra, Arizona State University, USA * Journal of Heritage Tourism, Vol 16 No 5 *Table of ContentsList of Figures List of Tables List of Plates Preface 1.

Channel View Publications Ltd Research Paradigm Considerations for Emerging
Book SynopsisThis book provides insights into the lived experiences of researchers as they negotiate the undulating terrain of the world of paradigms and seek to find their niche. Each chapter presents the journeys of postgraduate candidates, early career researchers and established scholars, starting with an overview of their paradigm, the application of the paradigm to their specific research context, and concluding with the authors reflecting on their identification with and use of the paradigm. The volume acknowledges that determining the paradigm that best aligns with a scholar’s personal ideologies and the underlying assumptions of the research can be rather daunting, challenging and perplexing to scholars who are starting their research journey. It offers an accessible exploration of research paradigms and will be a valuable resource for postgraduate researchers, emerging scholars and PhD supervisors.Trade ReviewThis book offers comprehensive guidance for emerging scholars to explore different knowledge paths. It examines several paradigms based on dominant methodologies and methods to help understand the revolutions in thinking which followed transformative discoveries. The book presents a range of beliefs, values and techniques and helps early career scholars to position their research and facilitate the mapping of their research journey. * Dimitrios Buhalis, Bournemouth University, UK *This is a topical book that fills a gap in the tourism and hospitality literature by providing under one cover theoretical explanations and practical guidelines on how to select and implement a research paradigm. The book is equally valuable to research students, early career scholars and also scholars teaching research methods. * Marianna Sigala, University of South Australia, Australia *Among Polish methodological books there is no publication which as clearly as [this book] encourages to develop cognitive research curiosity by applying and developing already known paradigms but also by modifying them depending on the socio-cultural context of the research. The foundations are always ontology, epistemology, and methodology, but the researcher’s own sensitivity cannot be overestimated here. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for practical applications of paradigms, but the subject of their research cannot be clearly categorized. -- Rozalia Małgorzata Ligus, University of Wrocław, Poland * Kultura i Educakja 2021, No. 4 *Table of ContentsFigures and Tables Contributors Chapter 1.

Channel View Publications Ltd Intangible Cultural Heritage and Tourism in
Book SynopsisThis book examines the complexities and dynamics in the relationship between intangible cultural heritage (ICH) and tourism, taking as a focus the ICH at the World Cultural Heritage site in Lijiang, China. It explores the tensions between the protection of authenticity of ICH and the use of ICH in tourism commodification, and considers the perspectives of governmental officials, experts, local ICH practitioners and community members. The volume aims to redefine the concepts of authenticity, integrity and continuity from the perspective of the ICH practitioners and to provide theoretical guidelines for developing a sustainable ICH tourism using a people-based approach. It will be a helpful resource for students, researchers and practitioners in heritage studies, tourism, anthropology, cultural management and Chinese studies.Trade ReviewThis fascinating study explores a minority population seeking to retain its identity, values and culture while performing their 'otherness' for millions of visitors annually and in a situation of unbalanced relations of power. Su’s insightful analysis of tensions between national and international ICH discourses and policies and the locals’ 'practitioner ICH making' will prompt readers to consider heritage tourism discordances elsewhere. * Helaine Silverman, University of Illinois, USA *Based on empirical work from Yunnan Province, China, this singular volume delivers thoughtful insights into authenticity, cultural sustainability, commoditization, management challenges and opportunities, and many other profound concepts in ways other scholars heretofore have been unable to do. This book must have a place on the desks and reading lists of everyone interested in intangible heritage and tourism. * Dallen J. Timothy, Arizona State University, USA *This book makes an exciting contribution to the study of intangible cultural heritage in China. The scale of domestic tourism growth in the country has been extraordinary, and Su's analysis really gets to the heart of how world heritage designation can profoundly transform the lives, livelihoods and the cultural fabric of a place, in this case Lijiang. To understand these complex relations, the book productively engages with, and thus nicely contributes to, the literatures on critical tourism and critical heritage studies. * Tim Winter, National University of Singapore, Singapore *This book makes a significant contribution to the literature on critical tourism and heritage studies, enriching our understanding of these complex fields. It should find a prominent place on the desks and reading lists of individuals intrigued by intangible heritage and tourism. Specifically, it offers substantial value to students, academics, and practitioners across a range of disciplines. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in heritage studies, tourism, anthropology, cultural management, and Chinese studies, both at the local and global levels. * Xiaoxiao Fu, University of Central Florida, USA, Journal of Heritage Tourism, 2024 *This book provides a focused examination of China’s Lijiang ICH tourism, appealing to readers who may lack prior knowledge of Chinese culture or history but are intrigued by China’s ethnic ICH tourism. In general, this work has a commendable inclination towards good research taste and broad international horizons in its scholarly pursuits. This book is strongly recommended for postgraduates in the field of tourism and heritage studies, as well as scholars examining ICH tourism matters. * Yawen Xu, Nanchang University, China, International Journal of Heritage Studies, 2024 *Table of ContentsFigures, Tables, Photos Abbreviations Chapter 1.

Channel View Publications Ltd Motivation, Language Identity and the L2 Self
Book SynopsisDue to its theoretical and educational significance within the language learning process, the study of L2 motivation has been an important area of second language acquisition research for several decades. Over the last few years L2 motivation research has taken an exciting new turn by focusing increasingly on the language learner’s situated identity and various self-perceptions. As a result, the concept of L2 motivation is currently in the process of being radically reconceptualised and re-theorised in the context of contemporary notions of self and identity. With contributions by leading European, North American and Asian scholars, this volume brings together the first comprehensive anthology of key conceptual and empirical papers that mark this important paradigmatic shift.Trade ReviewThe book is sophisticated, and readers will have to be already familiar with the fundamental aspects of L2 motivation research. Nevertheless, it would be an invaluable aid to researchers seeking to keep up with the ever-advancing developments in the area. Susan C.

Templeton Foundation Press,U.S. Research On Altruism & Love
Book SynopsisResearch on Altruism and Love is a compendium of annotated bibliographies reviewing literature and research studies on the nature of love. An essay introduces each of the annotated bibliographies.A variety of literature either directly related to science-and-love issues or supporting literature for those issues is covered in the Religious Love Interfaces with Science section. This annotated bibliography is unique in that it approaches the field from a decidedly religious perspective. It includes classical expositions of love that continue to influence contemporary scholars, including Platos' work on eros, the work and words of Jesus, Aristotle, Augustine of Hippo, Martin Luther, Kierkegaard, and Ghandi, among others. The contemporary discussion includes Anders Nygren's theological arguments in his classic, Agape and Eros; Pitirim Sorokin; and others. An issue that often emerges in this literature is the question of the nature and definition of love.A second annotated bibliography features current empirical research in the field of Personality and Altruism, with a focus on social psychology. Among the topics covered are the altruistic personality, altruistic behavior, empathy, helping behavior, social responsibility, and volunteerism. Methodologies are diverse, and studies include experiments, local and national surveys, naturalistic observation, and combinations of these.The Evolutionary Biology annotated bibliography covers the most significant works on altruism and love in the field of biology and evolutionary psychology.The fourth and final annotated bibliography in this volume is entitled Sociology of Faith-Based Volunteerism. Here the focus is on literature on the interface of helping behavior and religious organizations, as well as major pieces on voluntary associations.
