Detainees across the globe were waterboarded, deprived of sleep, beaten by guards, blasted with deafening music and forced into obscene acts. Their torture presents a profound problem for literature: torturous pain and its traumatic aftermath have long been held to destroy language, shatter experience, and refuse representation. Challenging accepted thinking, Gestures of Testimony: Torture, Trauma, and Affect in Literature asks how literature might bear witness to the tortures of a war waged against fear itself. Bringing the vibrant field of affect theory to bear on theories of torture and power, Richardson adopts an interdisciplinary approach to show how testimony founded in affect can bear witness to torture and its traumas. Grounded in provocative readings of fiction by George Orwell, Franz Kafka, Arthur Koestler, Anne Michaels and Janette Turner Hospital, poems by Guantanamo detainees, memoirs of interrogators and detainees, contemporary films, and the Torture Memos of the Bush Administration, the analysis traverses politics, law and cinema to re-think literary testimony. Drawing upon some of the most influential thinkers of recent times on power, affect, trauma and torture, the book does more than critique culture and literature: it proposes new practices of literary witnessing. Gestures of Testimony gives shape to a mode of gestural testimony, a reaching beyond the page in the writing of torture in fiction that reveals the shape, depth and intensity of violent trauma-even as it embodies its veiling."--Bloomsbury Publishing."Brings together theories of affect, trauma and power to propose new practices of bearing literary witness to the torture of the war on terror"--Bloomsbury Publishing.Torture, trauma, and affect in literatureAffect (Psychology) in literatureAffect (Psychology) in motion picturesLiterature, ModernHistory and criticismMotion picturesSocial aspectsPsychic trauma in literaturePsychic trauma in motion picturesTorture in literatureTorture in motion picturesTortureMoral and ethical aspectsLiterary theoryElectronic books.Affect (Psychology) in literature.Affect (Psychology) in motion pictures.Literature, ModernHistory and criticism.Motion picturesSocial aspects.Psychic trauma in literature.Psychic trauma in motion pictures.Torture in literature.Torture in motion pictures.TortureMoral and ethical aspects.809/.933552Richardson Michael1980- ,1066748UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910511487503321Gestures of testimony2549887UNINA03936nam 22006135 450 991036494800332120240923160808.09783030328467303032846510.1007/978-3-030-32846-7(CKB)4100000010013816(MiAaPQ)EBC6000199(DE-He213)978-3-030-32846-7(EXLCZ)99410000001001381620191219d2019 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEvaluating Teaching Practices in Graduate Programs /by Jesús Gabalán-Coello, Fredy Eduardo Vásquez-Rizo, Michel Laurier1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (145 pages)SpringerBriefs in Education,2211-193X9783030328450 3030328457 Chapter 1 - Evaluation in the university context: from the general to the particular -- Chapter 2 - A brief overview of authors and theories -- Chapter 3 - And then.... what is important in graduate programs? -- Chapter 4 - A proposal to determine the influencing factors -- Chapter 5 - Empirical evidence: application in a specific case study -- Chapter 6 - Final reflections.This book proposes a method to evaluate the work of teachers acting in a very specific educational context: graduate programs at higher education institutions. There are many publications on the field of measurement and evaluation of teaching practices, but these studies are usually conducted at the undergraduate level and ignore the nuances of teaching practices at the graduate level. Should professors demonstrate the same skills when they teach in undergraduate programs as they do when they teach in graduate programs? Is it appropriate to use the same assessment tools both at the undergraduate and the graduate levels? Do the teaching practices evolve the same way at the graduate and undergraduate levels? The book intends to answer these questions by introducing a methodological approach to find the relevant variables that are the foundation of professional practices at the graduate level as determined by the scientific community and through the analysis of the stakeholders’ perceptions. The proposed methodological approach combines quantitative and qualitative research techniques to identify and explain, within a mixed-method framework, the most important factors that lead to teaching quality at graduate level. Therefore, How to Evaluate Teaching Practices in Graduate Practices will be a valuable resource for students, university professors and educational administrators interested in quality assurance processes in higher education institutions.SpringerBriefs in Education,2211-193XTeachersTraining ofEducational tests and measurementsEducation, HigherTeaching and Teacher EducationAssessment and TestingHigher EducationTeachersTraining of.Educational tests and measurements.Education, Higher.Teaching and Teacher Education.Assessment and Testing.Higher Education.378.166379.158Gabalán-Coello Jesúsauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061206Vásquez-Rizo Fredy Eduardoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autLaurier Michel(Michel D.),authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910364948003321Evaluating Teaching Practices in Graduate Programs2517863UNINA
