Vast and diverse, Brooklyn is often portrayed in literature as a place of traditional community values and face-to-face relations, distinct from anonymous, capital-driven Manhattan. Brooklyn Fictions discovers what such representations of the New York borough can teach us about diversity and the individual, the local and the global.
Combining analysis of popular texts such as Sister Souljah's The Coldest Winter Ever with more canonical novels such as Jonathan Lethem's The Fortress of Solitude, this study draws on the work of a variety of theorists on community and globalization and uses Brooklyn as a case study for an exploration of the complex relationship between romantic ideals of community and global economic forces. With cites often depicted as sites of conflict and fear, this is a crucial contribution to our understanding of the contemporary urban community and the ethical issues involved in conceptualizing and portraying it in literature.
Описание: The central question of the book is as follows: To what extent does the community present a challenge in the life of the individual? Well-known international Philosophers, historians, anthropologists, political scientists, theologians and sociologists attempted to find explications by intercultural comparison.
Presents current strengths and innovative practices - Relates English language learning and assessment to both education and community engagement. Explores pedagogical approaches relevant to the world's growing superdiverse communities.
Identifies language teaching and learning dilemmas and solutions - Examines languages learning inside and outside the classroom. Considers connections between student motivation, L2 competence, language maintenance and the influence of assessment on pedagogy.
Acquisition of English as an added language is a worldwide challenge, and although a well-recognised educational need in a diversity of contexts, learners' success largely depends on the quality of pedagogy and extent of reform away from the traditional method. Moreover, while learning environments differ in opportunities to foster English language learning, research continues to highlight how a multiplicity of issues may negatively impact learners' success in spite of the advantages of new digital communication technologies and availability of teacher professional learning. In response to this, Stimulating Languages Learning: Global Perspectives and Community Engagement, as a research book, examines current shifts in the field, making connections and acknowledging identified strengths and innovative practices, and solutions, at both the local and global level. By drawing upon a range of exemplars from Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Senegal, South Korea, and Vietnam, it illuminates related issues, such as pre-service teacher education, refugee learners' need for English for work, and the importance of first language maintenance. In highlighting the importance of curriculum, learner attributes and pedagogical approaches, learning materials and testing, along with opportunities for language learning outside the classroom, this publication is ideal for professionals involved in TESOL and teaching English as a Foreign language and its improvement.

In this book, the authors analyze big data on global interdependence caused by the flows of commodities, money, and people, using a network science approach to obtain differing views of globalization and to clarify the facts on isolation of communities.
Globalization reduces international economic inequality, i.e., it allows emerging countries to catch up while it increases relative poverty in some advanced countries. How should this trade-off between international and domestic inequalities be resolved? At the same time, the reduction of biocultural diversity caused by globalization needs to be avoided. What kind of change is required in local communities to conserve biocultural diversity?
On the issue of commodity flow, research results of the supply-chain network, isolation in industry, and resource flows and stocks are presented in this book. For monetary flow, ownership networks, value-added networks, and profit shifting were studied; and regarding the flow of people, linkage of ethnic groups, immigrant assimilation, and refugees were examined. Based on the resulting view of globalization and isolation, the development of the isolation index using machine learning is discussed. Finally, recommendations for evidence-based policymaking in the United Nations are considered.
