Sommario/riassunto

This is the first book to survey the entire career of Joris Ivens, a prolific documentary filmmaker who worked on every continent over the course of seven decades. More than a biography of a leftist committed to changing the world through film, The Conscience of Cinema is also a microcosmic history of the documentary and its form, culture, and place within twentieth-century world cinema. Ivens worked in almost every genre, including the essay, compilation, hybrid dramatization, socialist realism, and more. Whether in his native Netherlands, the Soviet Union, the United States, Vietnam, or beyond, he left an indelible artistic and political mark that continues to resonate in the twenty-first century.

Sommario/riassunto

In 1931 Universal Pictures released Dracula and Frankenstein, two films that inaugurated the horror genre in Hollywood cinema. These films appeared directly on the heels of Hollywood's transition to sound film. Uncanny Bodies argues that the coming of sound inspired more in these massively influential horror movies than screams, creaking doors, and howling wolves. A close examination of the historical reception of films of the transition period reveals that sound films could seem to their earliest viewers unreal and ghostly. By comparing this audience impression to the first sound horror films, Robert Spadoni makes a case for understanding film viewing as a force that can powerfully shape both the minutest aspects of individual films and the broadest



sweep of film production trends, and for seeing aftereffects of the temporary weirdness of sound film deeply etched in the basic character of one of our most enduring film genres.

Bilingualer Biologieunterricht/Sachfachunterricht -- Kontext- und Kompetenzorientierung -- Leistungsmotivation -- Lernerfolg.

Sommario/riassunto

Petra Duske zeigt, dass sich bilingualer Fachunterricht zur Aufrechterhaltung der Schülermotivation im Sachfach und zum Erwerb vergleichbaren Wissens wie im deutschsprachigen Biologieunterricht eignet. Der Unterrichtskontext im Sinne einer thematischen Einbettung scheint eine untergeordnete Rolle für Motivation und Wissenserwerb zu spielen. Dies sind die Ergebnisse einer vergleichenden Untersuchung mit ca. 800 Schülerinnen und Schülern anhand eines bilingualen bzw. deutschsprachigen Moduls im Fach Biologie. Die Studie kann als Entscheidungshilfe für Lehrkräfte, Schulleitungen, Bildungsadministrationen, Schülerinnen und Schülern sowie deren



Eltern bei der Einführung von oder Teilnahme an bilingualen Bildungsgängen dienen. Der Inhalt Bilingualer Biologieunterricht/Sachfachunterricht Kontext- und Kompetenzorientierung Leistungsmotivation Lernerfolg Die Zielgruppen Lehrkräfte im Fach Englisch sowie bilingualer Sachfächer Lehrkräfte an Lehrerbildungsseminaren Dozierende und Studierende der Anglistik, Fachdidaktiken und des bilingualen Sachfachunterrichts Die Autorin Petra Duske lehrte bis 2014 an der Pädagogischen Hochschule Weingarten im Fach Biologie (Schwerpunkt Bilingualer Biologieunterricht, Humanbiologie). Derzeit unterrichtet sie die Fächer Biologie, Naturwissenschaft und Technik, Chemie sowie Englisch am Gymnasium Überlingen. Seit 2002 unterrichtet sie Biologie auch bilingual. .
