Reading "Academic Writing", Mary Scott
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Helping studetns learn how to learn is now a concern for most U.K. institutions of higher education. The study skill given most emphasis is "academic writing", no doubt because it is on the quality of their written assignments that students' success or failure larely turns.
Silence (And Its Voluble Partner), Andrew Taylor
Silence (And Its Voluble Partner), Andrew Taylor
Research outputs pre 2011
Silence may traditionally have been golden, but how is it valued today? Can it survive the impact of a technology which can, and does, bring the apparently irresistible seductions of noise to the remotest parts of the world, and which invades the most reclusive aspects of our lives? And what place has silence in a culture such as ours which classifies it as "unproductive"?
But what is silence anyway?
Professor Taylor considers two ways in which, from the Romantic period onward, silence has been conceived. One tradition equates silence with Truth itself; the other considers it the condition which enables …
Women In Leadership National Conference 1992: Women, Communication And Power, Margaret Butterworth (Ed.)
Women In Leadership National Conference 1992: Women, Communication And Power, Margaret Butterworth (Ed.)
Research outputs pre 2011
Victorian feminist lawyer and social activist, Dr. Jocelynne Scutt, confronted the issue of women and power by drawing upon a powerful reading of stories from women. These stories, drawn from ordinary and not so ordinary women, showed the barriers that face women as they attempt to deal with a daily reality infused with masculine power, violence, fright, shame, and self-realization. She spoke poignantly of a world that is all to familiar to women; women whose capacities have been curbed sharply by a common theme in their lives: domination and coercion...
Valery Et Borges: Regards Critiques Sur La Litterature, Galit Cohen
Valery Et Borges: Regards Critiques Sur La Litterature, Galit Cohen
Theses : Honours
This research topic was selected because no in-depth comparative analysis has yet been published on these writers. Valery is one of the greatest French 'philosophers' and writers and Borges is an outstanding contemporary writer. The objective of this thesis is to further understanding of the density of their texts. This thesis will also concentrate on their original literary styles and a certain number of their unconventional and untraditional techniques. A comparative study of some of their works in prose and poetry will be studied in this thesis. We will also discuss their literary views and ideologies. Both had common influences …
The Arts As Strategy Or The Arts As Process? : A Comparison Of Two Learning Approaches In Religious Education In The Catholic Primary School, S. L. Desker
Theses : Honours
This study examined differences in understanding of Christian values between two groups of children experiencing two different learning approaches in religious education in the Catholic primary school. One learning approach used the arts as strategy. In it children expressed themselves discursively through worksheet activities: colouring in pre-designed pictures and completing written sentences, paragraphs or crossword puzzles. The other approach was learning through the arts as process. In this approach children expressed themselves non-discursively through their creative products: paintings, play dough modelling and construction scenarios. Each group comprised 30 subjects who were in Year 5, and whose ages ranged from 9 …
Tied To Tradition: The Silenced Rage Of The African Woman In Selected Novels Of Buchi Emechata, Marie Giselle Martine Raphael
Tied To Tradition: The Silenced Rage Of The African Woman In Selected Novels Of Buchi Emechata, Marie Giselle Martine Raphael
Theses : Honours
In addressing the myths of past and present social and familial structures and hierarchies. Post-Colonial Literatures are forced to confront complex assertions of identity, evolved through an inheritance shaped by both traditional and foreign influence. In a study of Buchi Emecheta' s novels, The Slave Girl, The Joys of Motherhood and Second Class Citizen, a tension is thus seen to emerge within the African heroine, between “her communally bred sense of herself as an African, and her feminist aspirations for autonomy and self-realization as a woman" (Frank, 1987, 45). Though the female protagonists of these narratives are placed within different …

Un Estudio Comparativo De La Novela Picaresca Espanola Y Su Equivalente Persa, Ramin Ahmad-Panahi
Un Estudio Comparativo De La Novela Picaresca Espanola Y Su Equivalente Persa, Ramin Ahmad-Panahi
Theses : Honours
In 1554, in a dying Medieval Spain a novel was published. The author is still anonymous, and the real reasons for his anonymity are yet to be determined. However, with the birth of this short autobiographical novel an entire literary genre emerged. One question could come to mind when one reads the title of this work, that is: "What do Persian and Spanish literature have in common?" To answer this, and many other similar questions, one must take an in-depth look at the history of both countries. Thus focuses this study in its first chapter. It then continues with the …
A Study Of Children's Television Viewing Patterns, Ronald D. Gorman
A Study Of Children's Television Viewing Patterns, Ronald D. Gorman
Theses : Honours
This study examines the television viewing patterns of primary school children. The major questions this study asks are; -How much time do children spend watching television texts? -What types of programmes do children watch? -Who chooses what children watch? Previous work on children's television viewing patterns is discussed; this indicates that (a) viewing patterns are influenced by the age of the child and the mode of access available to the child, and (b) educators are responsible for the development of children's visual literacy. To ascertain the nature of children's television viewing patterns, a questionnaire was administered and viewing record timetables …
The Pursuit Of Fulfilment: Desire In Peter Carey's Illywhacker, Jonas Byford
The Pursuit Of Fulfilment: Desire In Peter Carey's Illywhacker, Jonas Byford
Theses : Honours
This paper is a close textual analysis exploring the different levels at which desire is manifest in Peter Carey's lllywhacker. It attempts to show how desire, and the expectation of its fulfilment, have the effect of propelling the narrative and implicating the reader in the text. It is also the aim of the paper to argue that, despite aU Ilfywhacker's gestures to the contrary. and its expectation of fulfilment, at no level is this desire realized in the novel. It should be stated that this is not an evaluative judgement...
