Enterprising Youth: Social Values and Acculturation in Nineteenth-Century American Children’s Literature (Children's Literature and Culture)
by Monika Elbert"Recommended" by Choice Enterprising Youth examines the agenda behind the shaping of nineteenth-century children’s perceptions and world views and the transmission of civic duties and social values to children by adults. The essays in this book reveal the contradictions involved in the perceptions of children as active or passive, as representatives of a new order, or as receptacles of the transmitted values of their parents. The question, then, is whether the business of telling children's stories becomes an adult enterprise of conservative indoctrination, or whether children are enterprising enough to read what many of the contributors to this volume see as the subversive potential of these texts. This collection of literary and historical criticism of nineteenth-century American children’s literature draws upon recent assessments of canon formations, gender studies, and cultural studies to show how concepts of public/private, male/female, and domestic/foreign are collapsed to reveal a picture of American childhood and life that is expansive and constrictive at the same time.
Entertaining Crisis in the Atlantic Imperium, 1770–1790
by Daniel O'QuinnHonorable Mention, 2012 Joe A. Callaway Prize in Drama and TheaterFirst Place, Large Not-for-Profit Publisher, Typographic Cover, 2011 Washington Book Publishers Design and Effectiveness AwardsLess than twenty years after asserting global dominance in the Seven Years' War, Britain suffered a devastating defeat when it lost the American colonies. Daniel O'Quinn explores how the theaters and the newspapers worked in concert to mediate the events of the American war for British audiences and how these convergent media attempted to articulate a post-American future for British imperial society.Building on the methodological innovations of his 2005 publication Staging Governance: Theatrical Imperialism in London, 1770-1800, O’Quinn demonstrates how the reconstitution of British imperial subjectivities involved an almost nightly engagement with a rich entertainment culture that necessarily incorporated information circulated in the daily press. Each chapter investigates different moments in the American crisis through the analysis of scenes of social and theatrical performance and through careful readings of works by figures such as Richard Brinsley Sheridan, William Cowper, Hannah More, Arthur Murphy, Hannah Cowley, George Colman, and Georg Friedrich Handel. Through a close engagement with this diverse entertainment archive, O'Quinn traces the hollowing out of elite British masculinity during the 1770s and examines the resulting strategies for reconfiguring ideas of gender, sexuality, and sociability that would stabilize national and imperial relations in the 1780s. Together, O'Quinn's two books offer a dramatic account of the global shifts in British imperial culture that will be of interest to scholars in theater and performance studies, eighteenth-century studies, Romanticism, and trans-Atlantic studies.
Entertaining Uncertainty in the Early Modern Theater: Stage Spectacle and Audience Response
by Lauren RobertsonLauren Robertson's original study shows that the theater of Shakespeare and his contemporaries responded to the crises of knowledge that roiled through early modern England by rendering them spectacular. Revealing the radical, exciting instability of the early modern theater's representational practices, Robertson uncovers the uncertainty that went to the heart of playgoing experience in this period. Doubt was not merely the purview of Hamlet and other onstage characters, but was in fact constitutive of spectators' imaginative participation in performance. Within a culture in the midst of extreme epistemological upheaval, the commercial theater licensed spectators' suspension among opposed possibilities, transforming dubiety itself into exuberantly enjoyable, spectacular show. Robertson shows that the playhouse was a site for the entertainment of uncertainty in a double sense: its pleasures made the very trial of unknowing possible.
Entertaining the Idea: Shakespeare, Performance, and Philosophy (UCLA Clark Memorial Library Series)
To entertain an idea is to take it in, pay attention to it, give it breathing room, dwell with it for a time. The practice of entertaining ideas suggests rumination and meditation, inviting us to think of philosophy as a form of hospitality and a kind of mental theatre. In this collection, organized around key words shared by philosophy and performance, the editors suggest that Shakespeare’s plays supply readers, listeners, viewers, and performers with equipment for living. In plays ranging from A Midsummer Night’s Dream to King Lear and The Winter’s Tale, Shakespeare invites readers and audiences to be more responsive to the texture and meaning of daily encounters, whether in the intimacies of love, the demands of social and political life, or moments of ethical decision. Entertaining the Idea features established and emerging scholars, addressing key words such as role play, acknowledgment, judgment, and entertainment as well as curse and care. The volume also includes longer essays on Shakespeare, Kant, Husserl, and Hegel as well as an afterword by theatre critic Charles McNulty on the philosophy and performance history of King Lear.

Entertainment-Education: A Communication Strategy for Social Change (Routledge Communication Series)
by Arvind Singhal Everett RogersArvind Singhal and Everett M. Rogers have developed this unique volume focused on the history and development of entertainment-education. This approach to communication is the process of designing and implementing a media message to both entertain and educate to increase audience members' knowledge about an educational issue, create favorable attitudes, and change overt behavior. It uses the universal appeal of entertainment to show individuals how they can live safer, healthier, and happier lives. Entertainment formats such as soap operas, rock music, feature films, talk shows, cartoons, comics, and theater are utilized in various countries to promote messages about educational issues. This book presents a balanced picture of the entertainment-education strategy, identifying ethical and other problems that accompany efforts to bring about social change.
Enticing Hard-to-Reach Writers
by Ruth AyresIn her moving and personal book Enticing Hard-to-Reach Writers. Ruth Ayres weaves together her experience as a mother, teacher, and writer. She explores the power of stories to heal children from troubled backgrounds and offers up strategies for helping students discover and write about their own stories of strength and survival. She shares her own struggles and triumphs and hard-earned lessons from raising a family of four adopted children. Her experience is invaluable to any teacher whose has met children living in poverty, in unstable households, or in fear of abuse. Ayres explores brain research and the ways trauma can change the brain and how encouraging all students to write can help offset some of these effects. She believes that all students benefit from revealing their stories, by communicating information and opinion that allows darkness to turn to light in the lives of children. In the last part of her book she offers up practical suggestions for enticing all writers, regardless of their struggles. Enticing Hard-to-Reach Writers invites you on a journey to become a teacher who refuses to give up on any student, who helps children believe that they can have a positive impact on the world, and who—in some cases becomes the last hope for a child to heal.
Entleerte Räume: Zur literarischen Ästhetik der Absenz bei Thomas Bernhard und Christoph Ransmayr (Kontemporär. Schriften zur deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur #9)
by Kathrin SchuchmannVorstellungen von Absenz wirken in der Gegenwart auf breiter Basis – auch in der Literatur. Doch wie sind diese medial vermittelt? Geht man davon aus, dass Absenz-Phänomene sich nicht in einer primordialen Leere ereignen, sondern dass ihnen eher mit Vorstellungen vom Unbestimmten, Unverfügbaren und Möglichen beizukommen ist, rücken Verräumlichungsformen in den Fokus, die bewegungslogisch zu erklären sind. Um das intrikate Verhältnis von Möglichkeitsformen und ‚Wirklichkeit‘ innerhalb der Grenzen des Sagbaren zu verhandeln, begegnen ihm Thomas Bernhards und Christoph Ransmayrs Erzähltexte mit Verfahren der Verräumlichung. Aus der Perspektive einer Ästhetik der Absenz poetisieren diese Erzähltexte Wahrnehmungsschwellen, indem sie Abwesendes textphänomenal verräumlichen, es jedoch nicht im (topo-)graphischen containment absichern, sondern eine Topologie eröffnen, die auf Strategien des displacement setzt. Die Studie führt raumtheoretische Ansätze unter einer differenztheoretischen Perspektive mit einem Konzept von Virtualität zusammen, um literarische Verfahren der Verräumlichung von Absenz in Erzähltexten von Bernhard und Ransmayr zu untersuchen.

Entranced by Story: Brain, Tale and Teller, from Infancy to Old Age (Children's Literature and Culture)
by Hugh CragoWe live in a world of stories; yet few of us pause to ask what stories actually are, why we consume them so avidly, and what they do for story makers and their audiences. This book focuses on the experiences that good stories generate: feelings of purposeful involvement, elevation, temporary loss of self, vicarious emotion, and relief of tension. The author examines what drives writers to create stories and why readers fall under their spell; why some children grow up to be writers; and how the capacity for creating and comprehending stories develops from infancy right through into old age. Entranced by Story applies recent research on brain function to literary examples ranging from the Iliad and Wuthering Heights to Harold and the Purple Crayon, providing a groundbreaking exploration of the biological and neurological basis of the literary experience. Blending research, theory, and biographical anecdote, the author shows how it is the unique structure of the human brain, with its layering of sophisticated cognitive capacities upon archaic, emotion-driven functions, which best explains the mystery of story.

Entre perro y lobo
by Julio LlamazaresVeinte años del mejor periodismo de Julio Llamazares. «Entre chien et loup (entre perro y lobo) es como llaman los franceses a esa luz indecisa del atardecer que se produce cuando el sol ya se ha ocultado pero la noche no se ha adueñado todavía de la tierra. Pero entre perro y lobo es también una situación: la del que está a medio camino entre la domesticación y la libertad, que es en la que yo me he sentido siempre. No sólo en mi vida personal, sino también como escritor y como periodista. De aquí que haya elegido esa expresión para titular esta recopilación de mis artículos de prensa de los últimos veinticinco años. Que son los que, más o menos, llevo viviendo en Madrid dedicado en exclusiva a la literatura y el periodismo. Después de revisar uno por uno, después de releer los artículos, me reafirmo en mi opinión de mi condición ambigua, de escritor que escribe a caballo, tanto en prensa como en una novela, entre la imaginación y la realidad, de viajero, en fin, que mira la vida desde la ventanilla de un tren que cruza el paisaje envuelto en una luz que no es real ni irreal del todo. Esa luz que hace que el mundo no sea blanco ni negro, pese a que aparezca así en los periódicos».JULIO LLAMAZARES

Entrepreneurship and Agency as Lived Experience: A Transnational Biography of Pálína Waage (1864-1935) (Palgrave Studies in the History of Experience)
by Sigríður MatthíasdóttirHistorical research into female entrepreneurs has become a burgeoning field in recent years. However, there is still a lack of studies of businesswomen based on their personal documents, and such documents seem to be rare. This book, an appraisal of the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century East-Icelandic businesswoman Pálína Waage (1864-1935), fills that gap. It investigates the agency of a small-scale female entrepreneur, primarily based on her autobiography, diaries and letters, using the methodology of the history of experience and 'lived experience'.
Entropy Guided Transformation Learning: Algorithms and Applications
by Cícero Nogueira Santos Ruy Luiz MilidiúEntropy Guided Transformation Learning: Algorithms and Applications (ETL) presents a machine learning algorithm for classification tasks. ETL generalizes Transformation Based Learning (TBL) by solving the TBL bottleneck: the construction of good template sets. ETL automatically generates templates using Decision Tree decomposition. The authors describe ETL Committee, an ensemble method that uses ETL as the base learner. Experimental results show that ETL Committee improves the effectiveness of ETL classifiers. The application of ETL is presented to four Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks: part-of-speech tagging, phrase chunking, named entity recognition and semantic role labeling. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that ETL is an effective way to learn accurate transformation rules, and shows better results than TBL with handcrafted templates for the four tasks. By avoiding the use of handcrafted templates, ETL enables the use of transformation rules to a greater range of tasks. Suitable for both advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, Entropy Guided Transformation Learning: Algorithms and Applications provides a comprehensive introduction to ETL and its NLP applications.
Ents, Elves, and Eriador: The Environmental Vision of J.R.R. Tolkien (Culture of the Land)
by Jonathan Evans Matthew Dickerson&“A fascinating ecocritical evaluation&” of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and other works of the master fantasist (Northeastern Naturalist). The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion are rarely considered to be works of environmental literature or mentioned together with such authors as John Muir, Rachel Carson, or Aldo Leopold. Nonetheless, Tolkien&’s vision of nature is as passionate and has had as profound an influence on his readers as that of many contemporary environmental writers. The burgeoning field of agrarianism provides new insights into Tolkien&’s view of the natural world and environmental responsibility. In Ents, Elves, and Eriador, Matthew Dickerson and Jonathan Evans show how Tolkien anticipated some of the tenets of modern environmentalism in the imagined world of Middle-earth and the races with which it is peopled. Dickerson and Evans examine Tolkien&’s major works as well as his lesser-known stories and essays, comparing his writing to that of the most important naturalists of the past century. A vital contribution to environmental literature and an essential addition to Tolkien scholarship, Ents, Elves, and Eriador offers both Tolkien fans and environmentalists an understanding of Middle-earth that has profound implications for environmental stewardship in the present and the future of our own world. &“This book is for everyone who loves the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, and who loves the world around them.&” —Armchair Interviews &“Anyone who ever thrilled to Tolkien&’s fighting trees, or to the earthy Tom Bombadil, or to the novel charm of the Shire will want to read this important and lovely book.&” —Bill McKibben, Scholar in Residence in Environmental Studies, Middlebury College
Entwicklung eines Modells für inklusive Sprache: Diskurslinguistische Analyse der Diversitätsdimensionen in der Unternehmenskommunikation (Sprache und Wirtschaft)
by Natalie BarendtDiese Arbeit zeigt die Entwicklung eines Modells für inklusive Sprache in der Unternehmenskommunikation. Anhand einer Diskursanalyse wurden Unternehmenswebsites und LinkedIn-Beiträge von 18 Unternehmen untersucht. Das Korpus umfasst ausgewählte Kunden einer linguistischen Unternehmensberatung mit Sitz in Mannheim (LUB GmbH Mannheim). Mit einer qualitativen Diskursanalyse wurde der inklusive Sprachgebrauch hinsichtlich der Diversitätsdimensionen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse liefern wertvolle Einblicke darüber, wie inklusive Sprache in der Unternehmenskommunikation konstruiert wird, und dienen als Basis für die Entwicklung des Modells, das Unternehmen bei inklusiver Kommunikation unterstützt. Die Analyse ergab, dass zwar häufig eine geschlechtersensible Sprache verwendet wird, die anderen Dimensionen der Vielfalt, insbesondere in Bildmaterialien, jedoch weniger vertreten sind. Angesichts der wachsenden Bedeutung des sozialen Netzwerks LinkedIn und des fortlaufenden Wandels der sprachlichen Berücksichtigung der Geschlechter in der deutschen Sprache hin zur Inklusion weiterer Dimensionen beschäftigt sich diese Studie mit aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen und trägt zur linguistischen Erschließung des Themas bei.
