The critical meets the cultural : International students’ responses to critical, dialogic postgraduate education in a Western university

What happens when international students encounter critical, dialogic approaches to postgraduate education in a Western university? This chapter works with the narrative accounts of two students from Asian countries about their varied experiences of and responses to critically-oriented, interactive, English-medium study in a Master of Education course in Australia. Beginning from researcher standpoint, it tables the students’ stories of cultural, academic, linguistic and personal border crossings, and their ‘readings’ of course demands prioritising critical analysis, dialogic exchange and problem-solving. Their responses raise ongoing, unresolved epistemological and experiential issues about the cross-cultural and transnational relevance and value of Western/Eurocentric ‘critical’ education.

Confrontation and cooptation : a brief history of Australian political blogs

The history of political blogging in Australia does not entirely match the development of blogospheres in other countries. Even at its beginning, blogging was not an entirely alternative endeavour – one of the first news or political blogs was Margo Kingston’s Webdiary, hosted by the Sydney Morning Herald. In the United States, whose political blogosphere has been examined most comprehensively in the literature (see e.g. Adamic & Glance, 2005; Drezner & Farrell, 2008; Shaw & Benkler, 2012; Tremayne, 2007; Wallsten, 2008), blogging had a clear historical trajectory from alternative to mainstream medium. The Australian blogosphere, by contrast, has seen early and continued involvement from representatives of the mainstream media, blogging both for their employers and independently (Garden, 2010). Coupled with the incorporation of blog-like technologies into news websites, as well as with obvious differences in the size of the available talent pool and potential audience for political blogging in Australia, this recognition of blogging by the mainstream media may be one reason why, in political and news discussions at least, Australian bloggers did not bring about their own, local equivalents to the resignations of Dan Rather or Trent Lott in the U.S. –events which were commonly attributed in part to the work of bloggers (Simons, 2007). However, the acceptance of the blogging concept by the mainstream media has been accompanied by a comparative lack of acceptance towards individual bloggers. Analyses and commentary published by bloggers have been attacked by journalists, creating an at times antagonistic relationship between the mainstream media and bloggers (Flew & Wilson, 2010; Young, 2011). In this article, we examine the historical development of blogging in Australia, focussing primarily on political and news blogs. In particular, we review who the bloggers are and how the connections between different blogs and other titles have changed over the past decade. The paper tracks the evolution of individual and group blogs, independent and mainstream media-hosted opinion sites, and the gradual convergence of these platforms and their associated contributing authors. We conclude by examining the current state of the Australian blogosphere and its likely future development, taking into account the rise of social media, and in particular Twitter, as additional spaces for public commentary.

Los Arroquía, una desconocida familia de pintores barrocos en el País Vasco

[ES] En este trabajo presentamos el perfil humano y profesional de Pedro de Arroquía (1667-1738) y de su hijo Cosme Ignacio (1689-1740), dos desconocidos pintores guipuzcoanos que trabajaron a lo largo del País Vasco y la Rioja, dando a conocer algunas obras inéditas de su producción documentada y conservada.

Arquetipo y homofobia en el relato mexicano de temática gay

En este trabajo se pretende analizar cómo autores de diversas generaciones han contribuido al arraigo en el inconsciente colectivo, y en la misma literatura, a fijar valores y juicios predeterminados por los dogmas religiosos e ideologías de las instituciones gubernamentales. Para poder entender la evolución de los patrones del arquetipo y la homofobia, el análisis se realizará tomando en cuenta el orden cronológico en que se suceden los relatos, que van de la Revolución al término de la primera década del nuevo siglo, es decir cien años. También se analizarán los tratamientos estéticos y narrativos en los relatos.

Palinostratigrafia e isótopos estáveis do Jurássico da Bacia Algarvia e da Carrapateira

A biostratigrafia de dinoflagelados, do Jurássico da Bacia Algarvia e do Afloramento Mesozoico da Carrapateira, foi efetuada com base no estudo palinológico de 482 amostras, provenientes de quinze sucessões margo-calcárias da sub-bacia ocidental, sub-bacia oriental e de duas sondagens offshore da Bacia Algarvia, e da Baía das Três Angras no Afloramento Mesozoico da Carrapateira. As amostras recolhidas do Jurássico Inferior revelaram-se pobres em palinomorfos devido, principalmente, à natureza dolomítica destas sucessões carbonatadas. Os resíduos orgânicos das amostras pertencentes ao Jurássico Médio e Superior são, geralmente, abundantes e possuem palinomorfos bem preservados. Foram identificadas 57 espécies de quistos de dinoflagelados, 5 espécies de esporos, 9 espécies de pólenes, 1 género de acritarcas e 1 género de algas. Os novos dados palinostratigráficos, com base em quistos de dinoflagelados, são consistentes com as Cronozonas de amonites descritas para estas sucessões. As palinofloras de dinoflagelados revelam afinidades com a província do Tétis. Na Bacia Algarvia não foi registada a presença das principais formas marcadoras das biozonas do NW da Europa e as associações recuperadas revelaram-se significativamente menos diversas do que associações contemporâneas conhecidas noutros locais. Este facto estará relacionado com fatores paleogeográficos e com as condições restritas que prevaleceram na Bacia Algarvia durante o Jurássico. A partir da análise de palinofácies verificou-se a existência de uma grande similaridade entre os ambientes deposicionais em todas as sucessões analisadas, verificando-se a existência de uma variação entre ambientes de plataforma proximal a intermédia, sempre com forte influência continental. Os perfis quimiostratigráficos,de δ13C e δ18O, obtidos da análise de rocha total, das sucessões carbonatadas do Bajociano superior - Kimmeridgiano inferior, mostram uma tendência geral semelhante às curvas δ13C e δ18O globais para este intervalo, no domínio tetisiano. Excursões negativas de δ13C foram observadas em Benaçoitão e na Baía das Três Angras. No entanto, estes terão sido eventos locais, que não têm relação com a curva global δ13C, tendo sido interpretados como o resultado da entrada de grande quantidade de 12C para a bacia, cuja origem pode estar associada à degradação e oxidação da matéria orgânica e/ou meteorização das áreas continentais em consequência de variações do nível do mar.

Aportaciones al conocimiento de la geología de Bac Grillera (prepirineo, Girona)

The Bac Grillera nappe (Prepirenean of Girona) shows a stratigraphic section composed of two unconformi ty-bounded units. The lower unit is composed by rethian (marly limestones) and liassic (brechoid marly limestones and limestones). The upper unit (sandstones and marly limestones) belongs to the upper Cretaceous (Campanian)
