A chronicle of Black Manoo’s Life, an Ivorian guy, who arrived in Paris in the 1990s, between drugs, music, friendships and romantic encounters. Black is a sans-papiers immigrant, tossed between his best friend, a dealer, and his girlfriend, with whom he opens a clandestine bar. A novel that follows in the wake of Debout Payé, an synthesis between the two veins of autobiography and social observation. Black Manoo explores, behind the scenes of a breathtaking neighborhood, the strategies of an African who just landed in Paris and take roots there, through mystical rituals inherited from old and improbable odd jobs. Gauz invents in this narrative a literary concise style as intense as the most powerful of the musics.
We know little about diverse youths’ engagement in science outside of school, the form such engagement takes and its impact on science literacy development and identity as a potential insider to science. We need to know more about why, how, and for whom out-of-school settings make a difference. Science in the Making at the Margin offers some answers through an in-depth and theoretically well-grounded multisited ethnography of three very different out-of-school settings: an afterschool program for girls only, a youth garden program, and a Math and Science Upward Bound Program. Grounded in sociocultural-historical theory, this book explores, youths’ meaning making of science and co-constructions of new levels of understandings of science, as well as how they come to position themselves in relation to science through participation in science practices at the margin. The author highlights the multiplicity of learning, becoming and hybridity that constitute the learning of science in the three sites studied. Her analysis suggests that most youth position themselves as science users, as youth who are creating with and learning through science with others in textually rich environments and situations, and in ways that are meaningful to them. Their identity as users of science is grounded in the forms of engagement supported by the three science practices. The challenge is then to leverage such literacy beyond the practices themselves.
Dr.in Bettina Zehetner ist Mitbegründerin der Beratungsplattform FRAUEN* BERATEN FRAUEN*, Wien. Konkrete Beispiele aus der Praxis zeigen, wie eine feministische Haltung die Therapie verändert und wie aus dem frischen Blick auf traditionelle Konzepte eine psychosoziale Beratung erwächst, die Hilfesuchende befähigt, mit kritischem Bewusstsein geschlechtsspezifische Bewertungen von Verhalten und Eigenschaften zu hinterfragen. Die Erkenntnis, dass es ein physisches und psychisches Leiden an Geschlechternormen gibt, setzt dem Gefühl persönlichen Versagens etwas entgegen und verleiht den Mut, eigene tiefgreifende Problemlösungen zu wagen.
