Epilogue: Open Education, Social Practices, And Ecologies Of Hope, Steven L. Thorne
World Languages and Literatures Faculty Publications and Presentations
For more than a decade, some of the world's top-ranked universities have invited the global public to freely access the very curricular content that previously had only been available to a privileged few. Under the umbrella term Open Education (OE), which refers to the advancement of education through "open technology, open content and open knowledge" (Iiyoshi & Kumar, 2007), this movement encourages universities, as well as educators at other institutional levels, to serve the greater public good through the sharing of topical and thematic learning objects as well as intact course materials and curricula.

World Languages and Literatures Faculty Publications and Presentations

José María Arguedas, Etnógrafo: Campo Cultural Y Mestizaje, Enrique E. Cortez
José María Arguedas, Etnógrafo: Campo Cultural Y Mestizaje, Enrique E. Cortez
World Languages and Literatures Faculty Publications and Presentations
En la actualidad, es imposible trazar una historia de la etnología en el Perú sin tomar en cuenta las contribuciones de José María Arguedas. Sin embargo, la antropología de su época atribuyó escasa importancia a su trabajo. El propósito de este artículo es identificar los motivos del reconocimiento tardío y póstumo del aporte de Arguedas. El argumento central es que el concepto de mestizo manejado por la etnografía de Arguedas implicaba una crítica profunda de las prácticas deshistorizantes de la antropología dominante. Interviniendo de manera decisiva en un debate clave en la historia intelectual latinoamericana, Arguedas cuestionó la ideología hispanista …

Cultures-Of-Use And Morphologies Of Communicative Action, Steven L. Thorne
Cultures-Of-Use And Morphologies Of Communicative Action, Steven L. Thorne
World Languages and Literatures Faculty Publications and Presentations
In this article I revisit the cultures-of-use conceptual framework-that technologies, as forms and processes comprising human culture, mediate and assume variable meanings, values, and conventionalized functions for different communities (Thorne, 2003). I trace the antecedent arc of investigation and serendipitous encounters that led to the 2003 publication and conclude by proposing that digital environments and the human experience of activity form unified ecologies with agency distributed through the system.

This article examines the experiences of people with disabilities in Nigeria and specifically the barriers they encounter in accessing various services in the country based on the framework of the social model of disability. Qualitative methods were utilized in the data collection and interpretation. The results indicated that people with disabilities in the country encounter a plethora of barriers in accessing various important services. These obstacles to accessing essential services deprive people with disabilities the opportunity to acquire services that would enhance the development of their potential and leading productive and contributing lives. These barriers to accessing services and the …
A Diachronic Approach To The Old Spanish Sibilant Merger And Its Impact On Trans-Atlantic Spanish (Part I), Eva NúÑEz-MéNdez
A Diachronic Approach To The Old Spanish Sibilant Merger And Its Impact On Trans-Atlantic Spanish (Part I), Eva NúÑEz-MéNdez
World Languages and Literatures Faculty Publications and Presentations
The evolution of the medieval sibilant phonetic system is indispensable in understanding how original Castilian expanded and evolved on both sides of the Atlantic. At the same time, it helps to distinguish varieties such as Andalusian Spanish, trans-Atlantic Spanish, and Judeo-Spanish, which in many ways constitutes proof of all the diachronic processes happening during and after the late medieval period. The sibilant merger and its resulting graphic confusion represent a crucial chapter in the development of Spanish. This study offers an extensive overview of the evidence, chrono- logy, dialectal divergence, theories of causation, and phonetic background of this merger. Condensing …

Miyazawa wrote stories and poems in order to help others understand, venerate, and propagate the Lotus. In doing so, he created works that are both very Japanese and very worldly.

Literary Texts In The Undergraduate Russian Curriculum: Leveraging Language Learning And Literary Discussion Through Scaffolding, William J. Comer
World Languages and Literatures Faculty Publications and Presentations
In this article, I want to summarize the broader discussion about literary texts in the undergraduate curriculum for the more commonly taught languages, consider the nature of Russian undergraduate programs in light of that discussion, and then suggest a way that upper-division Russian classes can work with literary texts through the effective deployment of scaffolding in classroom tasks.
