        Dysfferent

        by Fanny Vandermeersch

        What a strange idea to call a child Charlemagne! Without this strange name, Charly is sure that he would be a child like any other... except for a few adjectives. He is said to be too distracted, dissipated, dispersed... to the great displeasure of the adults around him. And that often makes him the mockery of his classmates. Charlemagne is dyslexic, dysorthographic and dyspraxic. But who said that multi-dys children were good for nothing? Maybe it's a chance to be different!

        Emergence and Innovation in Digital Learning

        Foundations and Applications

        by Edited by George Veletsianos

        Educational systems worldwide are facing an enormous shift as a result of sociocultural, political, economic, and technological changes. The technologies and practices that have developed over the last decade have been heralded as opportunities to transform both online and traditional education systems. While proponents of these new ideas often postulate that they have the potential to address the educational problems facing both students and institutions and that they could provide an opportunity to rethink the ways that education is organized and enacted, there is little evidence of emerging technologies and practices in use in online education. Because researchers and practitioners interested in these possibilities often reside in various disciplines and academic departments the sharing and dissemination of their work across often rigid boundaries is a formidable task. Contributors to Emergence and Innovation in Digital Learning include individuals who are shaping the future of online learning with their innovative applications and investigations on the impact of issues such as openness, analytics, MOOCs, and social media. Building on work first published in Emerging Technologies in Distance Education, the contributors to this collection harness the dispersed knowledge in online education to provide a one-stop locale for work on emergent approaches in the field. Their conclusions will influence the adoption and success of these approaches to education and will enable researchers and practitioners to conceptualize, critique, and enhance their understanding of the foundations and applications of new technologies.

        American Labour’s Cold War Abroad

        From Deep Freeze to Détente, 1945–1970

        by Anthony Carew

        During the Cold War, American labour organizations were at the centre of the battle for the hearts and minds of working people. At a time when trade unions were a substantial force in both American and European politics, the fiercely anti-communist American Federation of Labor–Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL–CIO) set a strong example for labour organizations overseas. The AFL–CIO cooperated closely with the US government on foreign policy and enjoyed an intimate, if sometimes strained, relationship with the CIA. The activities of its international staff, and especially the often secretive work of Jay Lovestone and Irving Brown—whose biographies read like characters plucked from a Le Carré novel—exerted a major influence on relationships in Europe and beyond. Having mastered the enormous volume of correspondence and other records generated by staffers Lovestone and Brown, Carew presents a lively and clear account of what has largely been an unknown dimension of the Cold War. In impressive detail, Carew maps the international programs of the AFL–CIO during the Cold War and its relations with labour organizations abroad, in addition to providing a summary of the labour situation of a dozen or more countries including Finland, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Greece, and India. American Labour’s Cold War Abroad reveals how the Cold War compelled trade unionists to reflect on the role of unions in a free society. Yet there was to be no meeting of minds on this, and at the end of the 1960s the AFL–CIO broke with the mainstream of the international labour movement to pursue its own crusade against communism.

        Spark of Light

        Short Stories by Women Writers of Odisha

        by Edited by Valerie Henitiuk and Supriya Kar

        Spark of Light is a diverse collection of short stories by women writers from the Indian province of Odisha. Originally written in Odia and dating from the late nineteenth century to the present, these stories offer a multiplicity of voices—some sentimental and melodramatic, others rebellious and bold—and capture the predicament of characters who often live on the margins of society. From a spectrum of viewpoints, writing styles, and motifs, the stories included here provide examples of the great richness of Odishan literary culture. In the often shadowy and grim world depicted in this collection, themes of class, poverty, violence, and family are developed. Together they form a critique of social mores and illuminate the difficult lives of the subaltern in Odisha society. The work of these authors contributes to an ongoing dialogue concerning the challenges, hardships, joys, and successes experienced by women around the world. In these provocative explorations of the short-story form, we discover the voices of these rarely heard women. To learn more about this publisher, click here: http://bit.ly/1ZT7e56

      • Instant Time

        by Catalogue editors: Anna Pohribna, Solomia Savchuk. Texts: Piotr Armyanovski, Olena Afanasyeva, Yuliya Vaganova, Lia Dostlieva & Andrii Dostliev, Anatol Zvizhynsky, Gamlet Zinkivsky, Georgiy Kasyanov, Vlodko Kaufman, Max Kovalchuk, Rostyslav Koterlin, Yuriy Koch, Olha Pohribna-Koch, Tetyana Pavlova, Sergiy Petlyuk, Julia Polunina-But, Ihor Podolchak, Nadia Prygodych, Kateryna Tykhonenko, Krolikowski Art

        The publication is the catalogue to Instant Time exhibition. Instant time is a metaphor for Ukraine’s fundamentally new experience in the 1990s. Time sped up in the first years of independence, changes and decisions came quickly, information and phenomena spread like lightning, and disappeared equally so. The information vacuum filled spontaneously, without any filters or barriers, and absorbed everything that fell into its space. A craving for the new grew on the backdrop of the influx of ersatz, poor quality substitutes and surrogates, that, nonetheless, genuinely inspired and captivated, and sometimes provoked the emergence of unique phenomena, and not only on a local scale.        The exhibition narrative consists of stories of 9 cities and regions of Ukraine. The group of curators create a cross-section of the socio-political context of their cities, focusing on stories about places, people and phenomena, exploring their fears and dreams in these historical conditions. Memories and interpretations create a fragile fabric of reality that brings to light what people in the ‘90s felt and how they changed. Social and personal dimensions are complemented by optics of different generations of artists. The views of the participants of those cultural events stand side-by-side with the voices of those who were born in the ‘90s and are making contemporary art today. This approach allows us to construct a larger picture of the ‘90s and to expand the usual perspective with a new set of ethics — looking at a world built by adults through the eyes of children. Instead of answering the question: “What were the ‘90s?” the curators and artists construct a space for experimenting on their own memories, to put forth an important question: “What remains today of the ‘90s?” Events and phenomenon don’t disappear completely, don’t dissolve without a trace, they sink into habits and continue in practices today. In remembering the ‘90s we try to understand the present. We not only recreate the sensory story of the ‘90s, we analyze what has been preserved in our memory and become important to us.
