Taylor & Francis Inc Mainstreaming Basic Writers Politics and
Book SynopsisAt a time when various political and administrative bodies are calling for the dissolution of basic writing instruction on four-year college campuses, the need for information concerning the options available to university decision makers has become more and more pressing. A wide range of professional judgments surrounding this situation exits.Mainstreaming Basic Writers: Politics and Pedagogies of Access presents a range of positions taken in response to these recent challenges and offers alternative configurations for writing instruction that attempt to do justice to both students' needs and administrative constraints. Chapter authors include, for the most part, professionals entrusted with the role of advocating for a student population often described as underprepared, in need of remediation, and at risk. Throughout the volume, contributors discuss current institutional developments and describe curricular designs that instructors searching for innovative ways to meet the needs of their heterogenous student populations will find helpful as models of college writing program curricula and administration. This book's focus is to give a fair representation of some of the more noted perspectives from nationally recognized scholars and administrators working in the field of basic writing. This presentation of key positions on the issue of mainstreaming basic writers at the college level is an important resource for all writing program administrators, composition and rhetoric students and scholars, and university decision makers from provosts to deans to department chairs.Trade Review"...the book provides compositionists attempting to better understand what mainstreaming basic writing might mean with a useful introduction to such matters."—Composition Studies"This is the right time for this book. Mainstreaming Basic Writers: Politics and Pedagogies of Access presents the issues that policymakers must confront when decisions need to be made about access and instruction. The strength of this book lies in its openness and willingness to present a wide range of perspectives from knowledgeable professionals in the field who are grappling with the question of how to best provide opportunities for those students who are increasingly being discriminated against by forces within the larger society who neither understand nor sympathize with the difficult personal and educational backgrounds that have made these students so vulnerable at this time. Believing that knowledge leads to strength, the editor and contributors of this book offer composition professionals a range of options that they can use to help shape policy at their individual institutions. Our students deserve this attention."—Marilyn S. SternglassProfessor Emeritus of English, City College of the City University of New York,"Addresses an important and timely issue....The greatest strength of this book is that it addresses theoretical and sociopolitical issues in composition instruction in combination with more pragmatic factors in program implementation and evaluation....Fills a gap in the current literature."—Linda HarklauUniversity of GeorgiaTable of ContentsContents: M.S.

Taylor & Francis Inc Childrens Responses to the Screen A Media
Book SynopsisThe past several decades have witnessed thousands of studies into children and the media. Yet, much academic research is still in its infancy when it comes to our knowledge about the uses, preferences, and effects of different media. This distinctive volume moves the field forward in this regard, with its insights into the latest theories and research on children and the media. Author Patti M. Valkenburg explores screen media (i.e., television, films, video and computer games, and the Internet), and focuses her study on the most fundamental topics in the study of children and the media. In each chapter, Valkenburg examines an essential topic on children and the media: the effect of media violence, children's emotional reactions to news and entertainment, the intended and unintended effects of advertising, and the uses and effects of computer games and the Internet. She has structured the chapters to provide an overview of existing theories and research on a particular topic, and supplements the work of others with her own ground-breaking research findings. She provides a careful and even-handed treatment of research in children's media, and includes current and noteworthy studies. As a resource for study in children and media and media psychology, this volume provides a timely and thorough examination of the state of theory and research. It will serve as a valuable reference for scholars and as an engaging text for advanced students.Table of ContentsContents: Preface. Changing Perspectives on Children and the Media.

Ohio State University Press Audionarratology
Book SynopsisRadio drama has been around for more than one hundred years and is still vibrant in many countries. A narrative-dramatic genre and art form in its own right, radio drama has traditionally crossed medial and generic boundaries and continues to do so in our age of digitization. Audionarratology: Lessons from Audio Drama, edited by Lars Bernaerts and Jarmila Mildorf, explores radio drama from a narratological angle. The contributions cover key questions surrounding audiophonic meaning-making, storyworld creation, mediation, focalization, suspense, unreliability, and ambiguity as well as the relationship between script and performance, seriality, antinarrative tendencies, and radio drama''s political implications now and in its early days. The book thus explores the interplay between sound, voices, music, language, silence, electroacoustic manipulation, and narrative structures. Providing examples from American, Australian, British, Dutch, and German radio drama-such as&nb
