TY - JOUR A1 - Zakaria, Nevine Nizar T1 - Assessing the working practices and the inclusive programs to students with disabilities in the Egyptian museums BT - challenges and possibilities for facilitating learning and promoting inclusion JF - Frontiers in Education N2 - Following the implementation of 2018’s laws on the rights of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Egypt, students with disabilities (SWDs) have both legal and moral rights to meaningful learning opportunities and inclusive education. Despite that, SWDs still have very limited education resources which limit their career aspirations and quality of life. In this respect, education whether as part of formal education or lifelong learning is central to the museum’s mission. Museums, as part of non-formal education, are being acknowledged for their educative powers and investments in the development of quality formal, non-formal, and informal learning experiences. Further, phrases such as “inclusivity,” “accessibility,” and “diversity” were notably included in the newly approved museum definition by ICOM (2022) emphasizing museums’ obligations to embrace societal issues and shape a cultural attitude concerning disability rights, diversity, and equality together with overcoming exclusionary educational practices. The study seeks to investigate the existing resources and inclusive practices in Egyptian museums to achieve non-formal education for SWDs. Qualitative research approaches have been employed to answer a specific question: How can Egyptian museums work within their governing systems to support the learning of SWDs beyond their formal education system? The study aims to assess the potential of Egyptian museums in facilitating learning for SWDs. Further, it examines the capability of Egyptian museums in contributing to informal and non-formal learning for SWDs and striving for inclusive education inspired by the social model of disability that fosters inclusive educational programs and adopts a human rights-based approach. The results revealed that Egyptian museums contributed to the learning of SWDs, yet small-scale programs and individual efforts, but they are already engaged in active inclusive practices that address the learning of SWDs. The study suggests that they need to be acknowledged and supported by the government as state instruments and direct actors in advancing inclusive education and implementing appropriate pedagogies in favor of SWDs.

Social media have become an essential part of everyday life for many people in recent years, and as such, it is impossible to imagine a life without them. It seems self-evident to operate as an active prosumer in the net via various end devices. We create personal profiles in various social networks, exchange ideas, and connect with others. We take part in virtual events, and above all: we actively shape the web. The photo and video platform Instagram is one of the most popular social networking sites. Since 2010, the online service has offered its users the opportunity for personal development and space for creativity. Therefore, the personal profiles serve not only participatory reasons but also facilitate acts of self-representation. In addition to apparently visible aspects, questions about self-perception arise: How do users experience and evaluate their activities in virtual space? How do they perceive their actions between the offline and online world, and how intertwined are these spheres? Through an ethnographical approach, this work represents the attempt to look beyond the self-evident aspects of the digital self. For this purpose, two Instagram users were accompanied for more than a year. N2 - Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & Co. Soziale Medien sind in den letzten Jahren ein wesentlicher Bestandteil des Alltags vieler Menschen geworden und als solcher nicht mehr wegzudenken. Es erscheint selbstverständlich über verschiedene Endgeräte als aktive Prosument*innen im Netz zu agieren. Wir erstellen persönliche Profile in unterschiedlichen sozialen Netzwerken, tauschen uns mit anderen aus, vernetzten uns, nehmen Teil am virtuellen Geschehen und vor allem: gestalten wir dieses aktiv mit. Als eines der beliebtesten sozialen Netzwerke gilt die Foto- und Video-Plattform Instagram. Seit 2010 bietet der Onlinedienst seinen Nutzer*innen die Möglichkeit der persönlichen Selbstentfaltung und Raum für Kreativität. Die eigenen Profile dienen daher nicht nur der Teilhabe, sondern auch der Selbstrepräsentation. Abseits des scheinbar Sichtbaren, stellen sich Fragen nach der Selbstwahrnehmung: Wie erleben und bewerten User*innen ihre Aktivitäten im virtuellen Raum selbst? Wie nehmen sie ihr Handeln zwischen Offline- und Onlinewelt wahr, und wie verflochten sind diese Sphären tatsächlich? Über einen ethnographischen Zugang stellt diese Arbeit den Versuch dar, hinter die Selbstverständlichkeiten des digitalen Selbst zu blicken. Dafür wurden zwei Instagram-Nutzerinnen über mehr als ein Jahr begleitet.

ER - TY - CHAP ED - Middelhoff, Frederike ED - Schönbeck, Sebastian ED - Borgards, Roland ED - Gersdorf, Catrin T1 - Texts, Animals, Environments: Zoopoetics and Ecopoetics N2 - Texts, Animals, Environments. Zoopoetics and Ecopoetics probes the multiple links between ecocriticism and animal studies, assessing the relations between animals, environments and poetics. While ecocriticism usually relies on a relational approach to explore phenomena related to the environment or ecology more broadly, animal studies tends to examine individual or species-specific aspects. As a consequence, ecocriticism concentrates on ecopoetical, animal studies on zoopoetical elements and modes of representation in literature (and the arts more generally). Bringing key concepts of ecocriticism and animal studies into dialogue, the volume explores new ways of thinking about and reading texts, animals, and environments – not as separate entities but as part of the same collective.

A1 - van Dalen-Oskam, Karina A1 - Schöch, Christof T1 - Revisiting Style, a Key Concept in Literary Studies JF - Journal of Literary Theory N2 - Language and literary studies have studied style for centuries, and even since the advent of ›stylistics‹ as a discipline at the beginning of the twentieth century, definitions of ›style‹ have varied heavily across time, space and fields. Today, with increasingly large collections of literary texts being made available in digital form, computational approaches to literary style are proliferating. New methods from disciplines such as corpus linguistics and computer science are being adopted and adapted in interrelated fields such as computational stylistics and corpus stylistics, and are facilitating new approaches to literary style. The relation between definitions of style in established linguistic or literary stylistics, and definitions of style in computational or corpus stylistics has not, however, been systematically assessed. This contribution aims to respond to the need to redefine style in the light of this new situation and to establish a clearer perception of both the overlap and the boundaries between ›mainstream‹ and ›computational‹ and/or ›empirical‹ literary stylistics. While stylistic studies of non-literary texts are currently flourishing, our contribution deliberately centers on those approaches relevant to ›literary stylistics‹. It concludes by proposing an operational definition of style that we hope can act as a common ground for diverse approaches to literary style, fostering transdisciplinary research. The focus of this contribution is on literary style in linguistics and literary studies (rather than in art history, musicology or fashion), on textual aspects of style (rather than production- or reception-oriented theories of style), and on a descriptive perspective (rather than a prescriptive or didactic one). Even within these limits, however, it appears necessary to build on a broad understanding of the various perspectives on style that have been adopted at different times and in different traditions. For this reason, the contribution first traces the development of the notion of style in three different traditions, those of German, Dutch and French language and literary studies. Despite the numerous links between each other, and between each of them to the British and American traditions, these three traditions each have their proper dynamics, especially with regard to the convergence and/or confrontation between mainstream and computational stylistics. For reasons of space and coherence, the contribution is limited to theoretical developments occurring since 1945. The contribution begins by briefly outlining the range of definitions of style that can be encountered across traditions today: style as revealing a higher-order aesthetic value, as the holistic ›gestalt‹ of single texts, as an expression of the individuality of an author, as an artifact presupposing choice among alternatives, as a deviation from a norm or reference, or as any formal property of a text. The contribution then traces the development of definitions of style in each of the three traditions mentioned, with the aim of giving a concise account of how, in each tradition, definitions of style have evolved over time, with special regard to the way such definitions relate to empirical, quantitative or otherwise computational approaches to style in literary texts. It will become apparent how, in each of the three traditions, foundational texts continue to influence current discussions on literary style, but also how stylistics has continuously reacted to broader developments in cultural and literary theory, and how empirical, quantitative or computational approaches have long ­existed, usually in parallel to or at the margins of mainstream stylistics. The review will also reflect the lines of discussion around style as a property of literary texts – or of any textual entity in general. The perspective on three stylistic traditions is accompanied by a more systematic perspective. The rationale is to work towards a common ground for literary scholars and linguists when talking about (literary) style, across traditions of stylistics, with respect for established definitions of style, but also in light of the digital paradigm. Here, we first show to what extent, at similar or different moments in time, the three traditions have developed comparable positions on style, and which definitions out of the range of possible definitions have been proposed or promoted by which authors in each of the three traditions. On the basis of this synthesis, we then conclude by proposing an operational definition of style that is an attempt to provide a common ground for both mainstream and computational literary stylistics. This definition is discussed in some detail in order to explain not only what is meant by each term in the definition, but also how it relates to computational analyses of style – and how this definition aims to avoid some of the pitfalls that can be perceived in earlier definitions of style. Our definition, we hope, will be put to use by a new generation of computational, quantitative, and empirical studies of style in literary texts.

Starting with an attempt to define data modeling it introduces distinctions like curation-driven vs. research-driven for a more general description of data modeling. The second part discusses specific problems and challenges of data modeling in the Humanities, while the third part outlines practical aspects, like the creation of data models or their evaluation.

Sobald die Figuren allerdings versuchen, Bewältigungsstrategien für das erlebte Elend zu entwerfen, wird die realistische Darstellung überschritten. Durch Verfahren traumatisch-magi-scher Imagination entzieht sich der Text rationalen Bewältigungsmustern und macht so die emotionale Belastung der Figuren für den Leser erfahrbar. Kemal gelingt es, das Elend der Bauern nicht nur zu beschreiben, wie im sozialen Realismus bzw. der türkischen Dorfliteratur, sondern durch magisch-realistische Verfahren auch deren unterdrückte eigene Stimme hörbar zu machen. N2 - In Yaşar Kemal‘s The Pomegranate on the Knoll, the environment of the Çukurova peasants is depicted meticulously in their daily struggle for survival; however, Kemal transcends purely realist representations whenever the characters try either to make sense of or to gain control over their hostile environment. By using magical realist strategies in his text as well, he gives a voice to the suffering of the Çukurova peasants and engages in a form of political writing different from social realism or village literature. He helps to raise public awareness for the traumatic consequences of the changing social reality in rural Turkey not only by describing it, but also by using magical realist writing strategies which let readers feel it for themselves.
