As the popularity and diversity of participatory theatre productions increase, scholarly and artistic attention toward the audience as agentive contributors and interpreters must keep pace. Simultaneously, the COVID-19 pandemic has added urgency to the collective artistic encounter and its value to individual and community health. This book proposes "reflective affective" dramaturgies of participatory theatre aimed toward incorporating participants’ reflections and affective responses as material in an emergent exploration of represented systems of power. The volume’s interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks stem from performance studies discourses including feminist materialism, phenomenology and affect theory, bringing them together with larp scholarship on character/self performance, agency and emergence. Through its integration of the practical and theoretical, this work serves as an essential study for scholars, students and artists in theatre studies, performance studies, visual art studies, role-play studies, cultural studies, and philosophy.

Philosophers have warned of the perils of a life spent without reflection, but what constitutes reflective inquiry – and why it’s necessary in our lives – can be an elusive concept. Synthesizing ideas from minds as diverse as John Dewey and Paulo Freire, theHandbook of Reflection and Reflective Inquiry presents reflective thought in its most vital aspects, not as a fanciful or nostalgic exercise, but as a powerful means of seeing familiar events anew, encouraging critical thinking and crucial insight, teaching and learning. In its opening pages, two seasoned educators, Maxine Greene and Lee Shulman, discuss reflective inquiry as a form of active attention (Thoreau’s "wide-awakeness"), an act of consciousness, and a process by which people can understand themselves, their work (particularly in the form of life projects), and others. Building on this foundation, the

The Reflective Practitioner How Professionals Think In Action


Free Download Donald A. Schon, "The Reflective Practitioner: How Professionals Think In Action"
English | 1984 | pages: 459 | ISBN: 0465068782, 1138458287 | PDF | 1,6 mb
A leading M.I.T. social scientist and consultant examines five professions – engineering, architecture, management, psychotherapy, and town planning – to show how professionals really go about solving problems. The best professionals, Donald Schon maintains, know more than they can put into words. To meet the challenges of their work, they rely less on formulas learned in graduate school than on the kind of improvisation learned in practice. This unarticulated, largely unexamined process is the subject of Schon’s provocatively original book, an effort to show precisely how "reflection-in-action" works and how this vital creativity might be fostered in future professionals.

Reflective Equilibrium Essays in Honour of Robert Heeger


Free Download Reflective Equilibrium: Essays in Honour of Robert Heeger By Wibren van der Burg, Theo van Willigenburg (auth.), Wibren van der Burg, Theo van Willigenburg (eds.)
1998 | 291 Pages | ISBN: 9401060878 | PDF | 6 MB
Robert Heeger has been professor of ethics at Utrecht University since 1977, both at the Faculty of Theology and at the Faculty of Philosophy. Since 1985, he has also been teaching at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. Before he came to Utrecht, he had worked at Uppsala University for many years. He has always stayed in close contact with his Swedish colleagues, and twice he was a visiting professor at Uppsala University. With his eastern-German background, his roots partly in Russia, his thesis on the Italian philosopher Gramsci and his interest in Anglo-American analytical philosophy he has a broad international orientation. It is no wonder, therefore, that he always felt much at home in the Societas Ethica, the European Society for Research in Ethics, which he served as its president from 1991 to 1995. Robert Heeger is primarily a teacher and excels as a discussion partner. With his sharp analytical mind and his great intellectual curiosity he not only exposes critically the weak. points in an argument, but often also brings up creative suggestions to improve it. Thus he has greatly influenced his many students (he co-supervised fourteen doctoral theses) and his colleagues, both in the Netherlands and abroad. Moreover, he was one of the first moral philosophers in the Netherlands, and even in Europe, to be involved in environmental ethics and in animal and veterinary ethics.

Reflective Development through the Care Model


Free Download Niki Christodoulou, "Reflective Development through the Care Model"
English | ISBN: 1443899593 | 2016 | 275 pages | PDF | 1319 KB
The capacity to reflectindividually and with othersis considered valuable in teacher professional development internationally. In the field of Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language, reflective practice has been deemed to be a precious tool at the pre-service level and in the ongoing development of teachers. Despite the importance of teacher reflection, the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Higher Education has tended to overlook this topic and especially its collaborative and emotional elements. This book proposes a new and practical model for engaging teachers in transformational learning through an emotionalized version of reflection. More specifically, the Collaborative, Appreciative, Reflective Enquiry (CARE) model represents a guide for teachers who wish to engage in reflective practice alone and with others in an appreciative context. As such, this book will be invaluable to in-service language teachers and teacher educators who are committed to realizing their potential as educators and human beings through growth that only emancipatory reflection and positive emotionality can bring.
