TOP PAPERS FROM YOUR NEWSFEED Donna Alvermann Bookmarked by Ruth Harman Literacies and their Investigation through Theories and Models In this chapter, we first clarify the meanings of theory and model, particularly in relation to literacy studies. We then explore meanings of paradigm and their shifts relevant to the field of literacy research over the past half century or so. Subsequently, we review central theories and associated models that influence literacy research, especially reading, including constructivism, social constructionism, information/cognitive processing theory, sociocultural perspectives, sociocognitive theory, structuralism, poststructuralism, and motivational theory relevant to reading. Finally, we...

We critique the neoliberal view of democracy that dominates in the existing research, policy, and practice around urban school reform and civic education and instead turn to evidence from social movements and critical social theory as a foundation for a reimagined,...

Specifically, I focus on the role of students' questions in constructing knowledge about science texts. Toward that end, the chapter is divided into three sections: the first section defines multiliteracies and situates this concept within social constructionist learning theory; the second section examines several assumptions underlying the literature on self-questioning; and the third draws implications from this literature for using... View Paper David R Cole University of Western Sydney, School of Education, Faculty Member A Pedagogy of Cinema A Pedagogy of Cinema is the first book to apply Deleuze's concept of cinema to the pedagogic context. Cinema is opened up by this action from the straightforward educative analysis of film, to the systematic unfolding of image. A Pedagogy of Cinema explores what it means to engender cinema-thinking from image. This book does not overlay images from films with an educational approach to them, but looks to the images themselves to produce philosophy. This approach to utilising image in education is wholly new, and has the potential to transform classroom practice with respect to teaching and...

View Paper Jan Slaby Bookmarked by David R Cole Critical Neuroscience and Socially Extended Minds The concept of a socially extended mind suggests that our cognitive processes are extended not simply by the various tools and technologies we use, but by other minds in our intersubjective interactions, and more systematically by institutions that, like tools and technologies, enable and sometimes constitute our cognitive processes. In this paper we explore the potential of this concept to facilitate the development of a critical neuroscience. We first explicate the concept of cognitive institution and show how it builds on a more enactive version of the extended mind. We then turn to... View Paper Henrik Bogdan Bookmarked by David R Cole Challenging the Morals of Western Society: The Use of Ritualised Sex in Contemporary Occultism This paper discusses the historical roots of the use of ritualized sex in contemporary occultism, with special focus on the teachings of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), Gerald B. Gardner (1884-1964) and Kenneth Grant (b. 1924). The notion of that sexual magic is related to Hindu Tantric practices is addressed, and a detailed historical develpment of the use of ritualized sex-as illustrated by Crowley, Gardner, and Grant-is presented.
