Sommario/riassunto

Bathing beauty Esther Williams, bombshell Jane Russell, exotic Carmen Miranda, chanteuse Lena Horne, and talk-show fixture Zsa Zsa Gabor are rarely hailed as great actors or as naturalistic performers. Those terms of praise are given to male stars like Marlon Brando and James Dean, whose gritty dramas are seen as a departure from the glossy spectacles in which these stars appeared. Like a Natural Woman challenges those assumptions, revealing the skill and training that went into the work of these five actresses, who employed naturalistic performance techniques, both onscreen and off. Bringing a fresh perspective to film history through the lens of performance studies, Kirsten Pullen explores the ways in which these actresses, who always appeared to be "playing themselves," responded to the naturalist notion that actors should create authentic characters by drawing from their own lives. At the same time, she examines how Hollywood presented these female stars as sex objects, focusing on their spectacular bodies at the expense of believable characterization or narratives. Pullen not only helps us appreciate what talented actresses these five women actually were, but also reveals how they sought to express themselves and maintain agency, even while meeting the demands of their directors, studios, families, and fans to perform certain feminine roles. Drawing from a rich collection of classic films, publicity materials, and studio archives, Like a Natural Woman lets us take a new look at both Hollywood acting techniques and the performance of femininity itself.

Sommario/riassunto

La pédagogie Montessori favorise la confiance en soi et l'autonomie, offrant la possibilité à l'enfant d'avancer à son rythme en choisissant ses activités. Il s'agit avant tout d'un état d'esprit qui ne considère pas l'enfant comme un adulte en devenir, que l'on modèle, mais comme une personne à part entière, que l'on accompagne, en la respectant profondément.   Ce livre présente la pédagogie Montessori: son historique, sa théorie et sa pratique, à l'école comme à la maison, clairement et simplement.   Educatrice Montessori, Charlotte Poussin partage son expérience pour vous aider à comprendre et à vivre la pédagogie Montessori avec votre enfant. Prendre conscience de l'importance de notre attitude d'éducateur afin d'incarner ce que nous souhaitons transmettre, placer l'enfant au centre de la réflexion sur l'éducation, mettre l'accent sur l'observation, la communication et la bienveillance afin d'accompagner l'enfant sur le chemin de l'épanouissement.   La nouvelle édition de cet ouvrage best-seller, entièrement actualisée, s'enrichit de 20 nouvelles activités détaillées et illustrées, à faire avec votre enfant à la maison.
