Marla C. Berns

Fowler Museum of Cultural History,U.S.
2014
sidottu
This lavishly illustrated volume, demonstrating the scope and depth of the vast and remarkable global collections of the Fowler Museum at ucla, has been produced as part of the ongoing celebration of the institution's fiftieth-anniversary year. It recalls many of the highlights of the Museum's formation, focusing not only on collections development but also on a long history of programmatic innovation. The book begins with an essay by the Museum's director, Marla C. Berns, which sketches the Fowler's history, and this is followed by a section reproducing in color and large format 250 stunning works from the collection. Berns's lengthy history of involvement with the Fowler - which began when she worked for the Museum as a graduate intern while pursuing her doctorate at UCLA - and the innovative strategies she has introduced, have uniquely situated her to author this book.

Viola has always felt like she doesn't belong. With her mother working as an archaeologist halfway around the world, her sister away at college, and her father as her only friend, she keeps mostly to herself and her sketchbook. On the morning of her fifteenth birthday, Viola's life changes forever when her father takes her to visit the mansion of a cryptic old woman she's never met before. Viola walks down a dark corridor full of art in Long Island, New York, and ends up traveling over 500 years back in time to Florence, Italy. Armed with Idan, a mysterious pocket watch that offers guidance along her journey, Viola must navigate the perilous city to find a way home--before she falls victim to the threats of Lorenzo the Magnificent. She takes a job in an artist's workshop, where she encounters incredible work by some of the most talented artists from the Renaissance. Along the way, the shy teenager befriends the infamous artist Leonardo da Vinci and gains the affections of the charming nobleman Giuliano de' Medici. Will Viola be able to overcome her fears and harness her artistic abilities to return home as the foreboding sound of Idan ticks in her ear? Lost in the City of Flowers brings a relatable contemporary protagonist into an intricately woven historical landscape to tell an enduring story about power, creativity, feuds, friendships, and a young woman finding her voice.

Behavioural Economics and Regulation

Behavioural Economics and Regulation

Maria C. de Campos

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
sidottu
In recent years, the idea of "nudges" – small changes in individual choice architecture that do not involve incentives or coercion – has entered policy discourse and practice to address various problems ranging from energy usage to retirement savings. However, how nudges can be incorporated into regulatory practice, and whether the experimental methodologies used to design nudges are still appropriate when they are being used as a regulatory instrument is still an unexplored issue. As this book shows, the translation of ideas into the world of regulation is not so simple and straightforward.By analysing the different experimental alternatives that regulators can use when designing nudges and through a close analysis of a real-world example – the case of the European Union tobacco warnings – this book proposes an alternative design process more in tune with the reality of regulation. The book explores the implications of iterative experimental methodologies and processes for regulators, concluding with a call for an alternative nudging’s design process tailored to the regulatory space.This book is crucial for researchers and policy-makers interested in the incorporation of nudging into regulation and anyone interested in the implications of behavioural economics – and evidence more generally – for regulatory design.

Cuba's Intervention in Venezuela: A Strategic Occupation with Global Implications

Cuba's Intervention in Venezuela: A Strategic Occupation with Global Implications

Maria C. Werlau

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
This in-depth and comprehensive investigation describes how "revolutionary" Cuba essentially occupied Venezuela -not through a large military force in-situ but asymmetrically, placing assets strategically to command Venezuela's security forces, economy, information, communications, and society in general. It explores the evolution of a longstanding plan that led to a radical political alliance and regional integration project operating within an international criminal network. Finally, it explains how the much smaller and underdeveloped Cuba achieved this thanks to a unique methodological tool kit arisen from the totalitarian nature of its system. The implications are serious and far from regional.

Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris

Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris

Maria C. Scott

Routledge
2019
nidottu
Maria Scott's study of the operation of irony in Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris contends that the principal target of the collection's spleen is its own readership. Baudelaire, as one of the most perceptive cultural commentators of the nineteenth century, was naturally very keenly aware of the growing dominance of the bourgeoisie in France, not least as a market for art and literature. Despite being dependent on this market for his own writing, the poet was highly critical of bourgeois values and attitudes. Scott builds on existing criticism of the collection to argue that these are indirectly mocked in Le Spleen de Paris, often in the person of the poet's supposed textual alter ego. The contention is that the prose poems betray the trust of readers by way of an apparent transparency of meaning that functions to blind us to their embedded irony. Though focused on Le Spleen de Paris, Scott's study engages with the full range of Baudelaire's writings, including his art and literary criticism. Her book will be of interest not only to Baudelaire scholars but also to those engaged more generally with nineteenth-century French culture.

Nation, Race & History in Asian American Literature

Nation, Race & History in Asian American Literature

Maria C. Zamora

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
2008
nidottu
Nation, Race & History in Asian American Literature reflects on the symbolic processes through which the United States constitutes its subjects as citizens, connecting such processes to the global dynamics of empire building and a suppressed history of American imperialism. Through a comparative analysis of David Henry Hwang’s M. Butterfly, Lois-Ann Yamanaka’s Blu’s Hanging, and Jessica Hagedorn’s Dogeaters, this study considers the ways in which bodies challenge the categories asserted in nation-building. The book proposes that underwritten by the vast histories of American imperial migrations, there are texts and bodies which challenge and reconstitute the ever-vexed definition of «American». In «re-membering» such bodies, Maria C. Zamora proclaims our bodies as actual living texts, texts that are constantly bearing, contesting, and transforming meaning. Nation, Race & History in Asian American Literature will engage scholars interested in cultural and critical theory, citizenship and national identity, race and ethnicity, the body, gender studies, and transnational literature.

Inner Speech - L2

Inner Speech - L2

Maria C.M. de Guerrero

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2010
nidottu
According to Vygotsky (1986), The decreasing vocalization of egocentric speech denotes a developing abstraction from sound, the child's new faculty to "think words" instead of pronouncing them. This is the positive meaning of the sinking coefficient of egocentric speech. The downward curve indicates development toward inner speech, (p. 230) The purpose of this volume is to explore the faculty to "think words," not as the ability to mentally evoke words in the native (or first) language (LI) but as the faculty 1 to conjure up in the mind words in a second language (L2). To think words rather than to pronounce them is possible through inner speech, a function that humans develop in the course of childhood as they internalize the speech of the social group among which they grow. This means internalizing and being able to conduct inner speech in a particular linguistic code, the LI. But humans, at a very early or more mature age, may also come into contact and interact verbally with speakers of other languages, in classrooms or natural settings. The possibility thus emerges of internalizing an L2 in such a way that inner speech in the L2 might evolve. In this book, it is argued that, given certain conditions of L2 learning, it is possible for learners to attain inner speech in the L2. This book examines the distinctive nature of L2 inner speech and the processes that engender it and characterize its development.
