Produktbeschreibung
What does it look and feel like to communicate, create, compose, comprehend, teach, and learn with our bodies? Reaching beyond existing scholarship on multimodality and literacies, Moving Ideas expands our capacity to understand the embodied dimensions of learning and stretches our repertoires for more artfully describing them. Wresting language away from its historically privileged place at the center of social science research and practice, this collection examines the strategic layering across semiotic modes, challenging educators and researchers to revisit many of our most elemental assumptions about communication, learning, and development. The corporeal pedagogies these authors describe illuminate a powerful kind of learning that we know far too little about; in this age of accountability and high-stakes testing, failing to pay adequate attention to the promise of multimodality means forfeiting significant resources that could be used to innovatively engage people of all ages in education broadly conceived.

Rezensionen
«This is the book we've all been waiting for, those of us discouraged by text-centric schooling. This is the book we've all been longing for, those educators inspired by the human proclivity and yearning to make meaning within, across, and through a range and combination of semiotic modes, genres, enactments, embodiments, and spaces. Moving Ideas and its 'corporeal pedagogies' artfully, thoughtfully, vividly theorizes and illustrates the role of the body in learning and instruction, showing us how the physical is perforce part and parcel of the intellectual, the aesthetic, the social, the emotional. Kudos to Katz and colleagues for challenging us to admit and celebrate the senses, and to unite the body, reason, and emotion in social science research and educational practice.» (Glynda A. Hull, Professor, Graduate School of Education, Division of Language, Literacy and Culture, University of California, Berkeley)
«Moving Ideas will change the way you think. The contributors cover a wide range of topics - from the relationship of body and mind to the teaching of writing - and do so with passion and insight. A fresh and engaging book.» (Mike Rose, Author of The Mind at Work)
«This collection is about more than embodied learning and multimodality; it is a book about reimagination. Nothing I've read since John Dewey has made me want to teach and learn as much as - Moving Ideas.» (Mark Davis, Program Associate, Facing History and Ourselves)…mehr
