4.9/5 (20761 ratings)

Description:Teaching in Times of Crisis explores how comparative methods that are instrumental in reading and teaching works of literature stemming from different regions around the world also provide us with tools to dissect and engage the moments of crises that permeate our contemporary political realities. Written in the form of a series of classroom reflections--or memos--capturing the political environment preceding and proceeding the 2016 US-American presidential elections, this book examines the ways in which the ethics involved in reading comparatively can be employed by teachers and students alike to map and foster lifelines for cultural sustainability (to borrow the term from Djelal Kadir's Memos from the Besieged City) that are essential for creating and maintaining a healthy multicultural society. This book accomplishes this aim through comparative readings of postcolonial works, films, LGBTQ texts, French slam poetry, as well as episodes from Star Trek: The Next Generation, among other materials. The classroom reflections captured in each memo are shaped by the Appalachian setting in which the discussions and lessons took place. Inspired by this setting, the author develops a pedagogic ethics of comparison--a method of reading comparatively--which privileges local educational spaces in which students find themselves, by mapping the contested cultural politics of Appalachian realities onto a world literature curriculum.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
