Free Download Ceri Brown, "Space, Identity and Education: A Multi Scalar Framework"
English | ISBN: 3031315340 | 2023 | 197 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book details an innovative multi-scalar framework to examine the intersection of spatial levels in shaping social justice issues in education. Including an examination of key dimensions such as geographic divisions (between and within countries), school design, online learning, home-schooling, and student mobility, the framework is applied to analyse the interrelation between space, identity, and education. The authors reveal how this novel integration of scales is essential for a more comprehensive and probing understanding of educational inequalities. As an example of theoretical interdisciplinarity mobilised to tackle the urgent issues of our time, the twin dimensions of space and identity, discussed at multi-scalar levels, provides an invaluable theoretical resource for scholars and students of education, sociology and geography.

Free Download Ransom, Revenge, and Heroic Identity in the Iliad by Donna F. Wilson
English | May 27, 2002 | ISBN: 0521806607, 0521032784 | True PDF | 250 pages | 1.8 MB
Wilson examines the nature of compensation-ransom and revenge-in the liad, offering a fundamentally new reading of the quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles. She presents a detailed anthropology of compensation in Homer, located in the wider context of agonistic exchange, to demonstrate how the struggle over definitions is a central feature of elite competition for status in the zero-sum and fluid ranking system of Homeric society. The study thus asserts the integral role of compensation in the traditional, cultural and poetic matrix of this foundational epic.
