Abstract

"This book studies the ”grey area” of the success story of rural lending libraries in the Nordic countries through the activities of people’s libraries in one area of Central Finland. The study explores the influence of social, cultural, geographical and economic phenomena, such as the spread of revivalist movements, on the reading habits of the local population and reveals interesting reasons why the establishment of elementary schools and popular libraries and the growth of functional literacy did not automaticallyincrease the informational capital of the common people of remote regions or lead to their social advancement. This study represents a methodological experiment in describing the life history of a people’s library. The combination of collective biographical and transnational comparative methods with rarely utilized original sources in this study is innovative and has not been used before in Finnish historical research on functional literacy and popular libraries. The advantage of the comparison is that it reveals the attitudes to libraries that were characteristic of each of the cultures involved.For the people of the Finnish countryside in the late nineteenth century, libraries represented a way of acquiring new information that was still strange and unwelcome. The distribution of immaterial capital was extremely unevenwith regard to age, gender and social rank. In the earlier Finnish research has not very often been analysed, how the communal status of the peasant reader and his or her personal networks in the local community affected the quality of his or her reading habits. This book shows, that the location of the library in its local community and on the other hand the status and position of its customers in their networks, had a great significance on the use of the library and thus to the improvement of reading skills."

Abstract

Nachhaltige Bildung in der Grundschule kann unter mehreren Blickwinkeln betrachtet werden: In einem weiten Begriffsverständnis bezieht sich das Thema auf nachhaltige Bildungsprozesse im Sinne einer langfristigen Verfügbarkeit. Dies spielt für die Grundschule als erste Schule mit ihrem Auftrag der grundlegenden Bildung eine besondere Rolle. Gleichzeitig ist ein enges Begriffsverständnis mit eingeschlossen, welches die Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung aus einer ökologischen, ökonomischen und sozialen Perspektive betrachtet. Dabei zielt das Handeln auf eine nachhaltiger und gerechter gestaltete Gegenwart und Zukunft. Der vorliegende Band stellt Beiträge der 30. Jahrestagung der Kommission Grundschulforschung und Pädagogik der Primarstufe zusammen, welche im September 2022 in Regensburg stattfand und das Thema "Nachhaltige Bildung in der Grundschule" adressierte.

Abstract

"White field, black seeds - who can sow? Although the riddle from which this these words are taken comes from oral tradition, it refers to the ability to write, a skill which in most Nordic countries was not regarded as necessary for everyone. And yet a significant number of ordinary people with no access to formal schooling took up the pen and produced a variety of highly interesting texts: diaries, letters, memoirs, collections of folklore and handwritten newspapers. This collection presents the work of primarily Nordic scholars from fields such as linguistics, history, literature and folklore studies who share an interest in the production, dissemination and reception of written texts by non-privileged people during the long nineteenth century."

Abstract

El libro que el lector tiene en sus manos supone la continuación de uno anterior de los mismos autores, Atlas del analfabetismo en Extremadura durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX (Madrid, Cultivalibros, 2017). El objetivo común es mostrar y analizar los datos sobre analfabetismo en Extremadura en esos periodos históricos claves en la instrucción pública. Este trabajo se distingue de los anteriores sobre historia de la educación en que apuesta decididamente por el uso de modernas técnicas de estadística que pueden proyectar luz sobre aspectos concretos de alto interés educativo. Así, por ejemplo, se muestran los datos generales de la región y de cada uno de los partidos judiciales (unidad administrativa principal en el periodo) con el fin de detectar irregularidades, carencias o posibles situaciones enquistadas en determinadas comarcas. Al mismo tiempo, el uso de modernas herramientas ofimáticas y de minería de datos facilitan otras investigaciones de carácter cualitativo como la importancia de las comunicaciones, la mejor dotación de las localidades más pobladas, la progresiva equidad a través de la disminución de grandes desequilibrios o, por último, la desagregación de los datos por sexo, lo que se ha atendido de una forma especial al señalar la diferente evolución en la alfabetización femenina con respecto a la masculina. Entre los distintos tipos de gráficos utilizados, para los objetivos del estudio han sido especialmente reveladores y útiles aquellos basados en la cartografía seriada, pues muestran la evolución diacrónica de las distintas variables analizadas. Este estudio, pues, más allá de la exposición y análisis de los datos concretos, puede constituir un modelo metodológico para futuras investigaciones sobre Historia de la Educación.

Abstract

Grapholinguistics, the multifaceted study of writing systems, is growing increasingly popular, yet to date no coherent account covering and connecting its major branches exists. This book now gives an overview of the core theoretical and empirical questions of this field. A treatment of the structure of writing systems--their relation to speech and language, their material features, linguistic functions, and norms, as well as the different types in which they come--is complemented by perspectives centering on the use of writing, incorporating psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic issues such as reading processes or orthographic variation as social action. Examples stem from a variety of diverse systems such as Chinese, English, Japanese, Arabic, Thai, German, and Korean, which allows defining concepts in a broadly applicable way and thereby constructing a comparative grapholinguistic framework that provides readers with important tools for studying any writing system. The book emphasizes that grapholinguistics is a discipline in its own right, inviting discussion and further research in this up-and-coming field as well as an overdue integration of writing into general linguistic discussion.

Abstract

The Internet has changed our social spaces, our political and social realities, our use of language, and the way we communicate, all with breathtaking speed. Almost everyone who deals with the Internet and the new world of cyberspace communication at times feels bewildered, dismayed, or even infuriated. In this clear and helpful book, computer communications scholar Laura J. Gurak takes a close look at the critical issues of online communication and discusses how to become literate in the new mass medium of our era. In cyberspace, Gurak shows us, literacy means much more than knowing how to read. Cyberliteracy means being able to sort fact from fiction, to detect extremism from reasonable debate, and to identify gender bias, commercialism, imitation, parody, and other aspects of written language that are problematic in online communication. Active reading skills are essential in cyberspace, where hoaxes abound, advertising masquerades as product information, privacy is often compromised, and web pages and e-mail messages distort the truth. Gurak analyzes the new language of the Internet, explaining how to prepare for its discourse and protect oneself from its hazards. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the impact of the Internet on the practices of reading and writing and on our culture in general.
