Free Download Bernadette Luciano, "Reframing Italy: New Trends in Italian Women's Filmmaking "
English | ISBN: 1557536554 | 2012 | 300 pages | EPUB | 1005 KB
In recent years, Italian cinema has experienced a quiet revolution: the proliferation of films by women. But their thought-provoking work has not yet received the attention it deserves. Reframing Italy fills this gap. The book introduces readers to films and documentaries by recognized women directors such as Cristina Comencini, Wilma Labate, Alina Marazzi, Antonietta De Lillo, Marina Spada, and Francesca Comencini, as well as to filmmakers whose work has so far been undeservedly ignored. Through a thematically based analysis supported by case studies, Luciano and Scarparo argue that Italian women filmmakers, while not overtly feminist, are producing work that increasingly foregrounds female subjectivity from a variety of social, political, and cultural positions. This book, with its accompanying video interviews, explores the filmmakers' challenging relationship with a highly patriarchal cinema industry. The incisive readings of individual films demonstrate how women's rich cinematic production reframes the aesthetic of their cinematic fathers, re-positions relationships between mothers and daughters, functions as a space for remembering women's (hi)stories, and highlights pressing social issues such as immigration and workplace discrimination. This original and timely study makes an invaluable contribution to film studies and to the study of gender and culture in the early twenty-first century.

Free Download Michael Allen, Scott R. Swain, J. Todd Billings, "Reformed Catholicity: The Promise of Retrieval for Theology and Biblical Interpretation"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 0801049792 | EPUB | pages: 176 | 3.0 mb
Can Christians and churches be both catholic and Reformed? In this volume, two accomplished young theologians argue that to be Reformed means to go deeper into true catholicity rather than away from it. Their manifesto for a catholic and Reformed approach to dogmatics seeks theological renewal through retrieval of the rich resources of the historic Christian tradition. The book provides a survey of recent approaches toward theological retrieval and offers a renewed exploration of the doctrine of sola scriptura. It includes a substantive afterword by J. Todd Billings.

Free Download Margaret Early, "Reflections on Teaching Literacy: Selected Speeches of Margaret J. Early "
English | ISBN: 1617355453 | 2011 | 206 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The late Margaret J. Early was a nationally renowned educator in the field of English education and reading, a past president of the National Council of Teachers of English, an author and an editor herself, and the recipient of many awards. The book Reflections on Teaching Literacy: Selected Speeches of Margaret J. Early, edited by Willa Wolcott, contains fifteen of her speeches given during the 1970s and 1980s, two important decades for the English profession. In each address Dr. Early probes, summarizes, and critiques the developments she sees occurring in the teaching of literacy. Her speeches are warm, chatty, and thought-provoking, providing both an historical overview of the issues involved and the immediacy of her perspective as she tackles possible solutions to these issues-many of which continue to be very relevant. The speeches are enhanced by an in-depth, thoughtful "Foreword" written by Ben Nelms, a former editor of The English Journal and a pre-eminent figure in English education, as he places Dr. Early's speeches in the larger context of the changes within the profession itself. A two-part "Afterword" written by Jane Townsend and Barbara Pace, current faculty members at the University of Florida, explores the extent to which Dr. Early's speeches are linked to practices in teaching literacy today.
