Deleuze, Guattari, and Global Ecologies of Language Learning
This book is a selection of writings on Gilles Deleuze and F矇lix Guattari's philosophy and its connection with language learning. The authors are global experts in the field of language learning and schizoanalysis and have been collaborating on projects concerning Deleuze and Guattari for over two decades. They are the only scholars who have consistently applied Deleuze and Guattari to language learning. In addition to lecturing and co-writing on this topic, they have been working on projects concerning social ecology and the Anthropocene across the globe. This book attempts to put their multifaceted writings on language learning and teaching into systematic order. Bradley and Cole offer a thoughtful and timely look at the intersections between the abstraction of philosophical theory and the pragmatic reality of language learning. As such, this book introduces the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari and its use in the field of language learning in the tertiary education sector and elsewhere.The authors demonstrate how Deleuze and Guattari inform language learning and teaching in creative, unpredictable, and sometimes rupturing ways. The book introduces empirical research from Australia, Canada, the United States, and Japan that combines Deleuze's thought, literacies and multiliteracies theory to explain how students frequently have breakthroughs but, more often than not, have breakdowns in language learning. This book argues that the Deleuze and Guattari philosophical approach endeavours to understand the relationships between literacy, the literary, and literature use, and it extends multiliteracies into the multiple literacies theory of affect to develop an understanding of the complexities of learning - its breakdowns and hopefully its breakthroughs.

Latin to the Rescue! - How to make sense of English spelling by learning a bit of Latin
This book is a middle schooler's secret weapon designed to grow our kids' spelling skills by engaging their curiosity about word origins and language history. I am a big fan of word study books. They have improved my son's spelling for sure, but as he plowed through the piles of Greek and Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes, I knew something was missing. The missing link was the 'why' - the curiosity factor.Why is there a silent S in 'island'?Why 'possess' possesses more S's than 'obsess'?Why 'derive' has one R, while 'arrive' has two? And are 'derive' and 'arrive', by any chance, related to 'river'?Why 'prefix' has one F, while 'suffix' has two?Is there any logic behind all those Ls in 'delusion, ' 'illusion, ' and 'collusion'?What is the 'scent' in 'crescent, ' 'fluorescent, ' and 'incandescent'?English is a layered language, its spelling reflecting the history of conquests (Roman, Saxon, Norman) and cultural changes (Christianization, Renaissance, etc.) However, up to 90% of multi-syllable words in English are of Latin origin. Even the most basic knowledge of Latin helps breathe meaning into boring spelling rules.In this book I introduce the absolute beginner basics of Latin grammar and morphology that explain many features of English spelling. I also offer bits of conversational Latin (just for fun and bragging rights!) and some thematic study of Latin words whose roots produced lots of derivatives in English (body parts, food, house, nature, and personal qualities). All grammar sections are illustrated with classical Latin expressions, sayings and proverbs that are good to know as part of our Western heritage.To get kids excited about the history of language, I conduct mini 'investigations' into the etymology of many (often commonly misspelled) words.Why 'skirt, ' 'shirt, ' and 'short' sound suspiciously similar? (You'll be shocked!)Are 'noise' and 'nausea' related?What's the connection between a map and a napkin?Do 'onion' and 'union' have anything in common? (Also: why the European Union should be renamed the European Garlic!)If 'trivial' comes from Latin 'three, ' why does it mean 'boring'?What is that fifth essence in 'quintessential'?Another shocker: 'Prose' and 'verse' come from the same Latin word, as do 'simple' and 'complex'...Why in the world did the Fairy Godmother think that glass slippers were a good gift? (Spoiler alert: She didn't!)Then we have Latin High - a school where Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes do word studies, confront bullies and compete in the Consonant Gymnastics Junior League. These stories of intrigue, rivalries and ambition will certainly make some spelling rules more memorable! Just check out the Ex Files - the thrilling story of prefix Ex and the bully roots Radere Rasum (to scrape), Rumpere Ruptum (to break) and Radix (root) nicknamed Radish, and known for his radical views. Once you read this true account, you will never misspell 'erupt, ' 'erase, ' and 'eradicate' again! And if you read what happened at Latin High during the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, you will know why 'mission, ' 'session, ' 'professor, ' and so many other English words have those double S's.The book also offers a few special features: A tour of the Latin Word Factories - the Latin roots and prefixes that gave English tons of derivativesThe Black List: The 12 most misspelled English words of Latin originThe most hopeless homophones (again, Latin saves the day!)The Longest-Possible Word Generator with instructions and samples of outputThis book is easy to use for independent study, as a basis for ELA school projects, or as part of a structured curriculum. I hope that this book will educate and enterta

Bodily Fluids in Antiquity
From ancient Egypt to Imperial Rome, from Greek medicine to early Christianity, this volume examines how human bodily fluids influenced ideas about gender, sexuality, politics, emotions, and morality, and how those ideas shaped later European thought.Comprising 24 chapters across seven key themes--language, gender, eroticism, nutrition, dissolution, death, and afterlife--this volume investigates bodily fluids in the context of the current sensory turn. It asks fundamental questions about physicality and fluidity: how were bodily fluids categorised and differentiated? How were fluids trapped inside the body perceived, and how did this perception alter when those fluids were externalised? Do ancient approaches complement or challenge our modern sensibilities about bodily fluids? How were religious practices influenced by attitudes towards bodily fluids, and how did religious authorities attempt to regulate or restrict their appearance? Why were some fluids taboo, and others cherished? In what ways were bodily fluids gendered? Offering a range of scholarly approaches and voices, this volume explores how ideas about the body and the fluids it contained and externalised are culturally conditioned and ideologically determined. The analysis encompasses the key geographic centres of the ancient Mediterranean basin, including Greece, Rome, Byzantium, and Egypt. By taking a longue dur矇e perspective across a richly intertwined set of territories, this collection is the first to provide a comprehensive, wide-ranging study of bodily fluids in the ancient world.Bodily Fluids in Antiquity will be of particular interest to academic readers working in the fields of classics and its reception, archaeology, anthropology, and ancient to Early Modern history. It will also appeal to more general readers with an interest in the history of the body and history of medicine.Chapter 10 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http: //www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

An Introduction to Andalusi Hebrew Metrics
Throughout the last two centuries, Hebrew metrics was studied by leading linguists and specialists in medieval Hebrew poetry. Nowadays, it has disappeared from the academic discussion such that it is sometimes even difficult to find scansions or the name of the meter in new editions of poems. This book aims to rectify this gap, helping readers to understand the metric structure of this poetry in order to facilitate the work of editing and cataloguing those samples still in manuscript form for future editors. Delgado presents his view of Andalusi Hebrew metrics, as encountered in medieval manuals of Arabic and Hebrew metrics and scattered notes in the works of Andalusi Hebrew philologists. Whilst twentieth-century scholars spoke about the adaptation of Arabic metrics to Hebrew, he instead approaches these compositions by Andalusi Jews (10th-13th c.) as Arabic metrics written in Hebrew, thus emphasising how Hebrew poetry of the Andalusi Jews can help us to understand the general evolution of Arabic strophic poetry, and its experimental evolution, which is quite unlike classical and strophic Arabic poetry.This method respects the Hebrew vowel system, and does not necessitate alteration of word morphology, leaving the guttural letters quiescent (unless required by metrical license); nor does it necessitate guesses about metres that are not in the classical catalogue. Although the author has not found each and every classical metre from Andalusi Hebrew poetry included in this manual, they are all catalogued, either in case someone finds them in future or because they help us to comprehend the metrical structures that are characteristic of strophic poetry. As such, this monograph will be of great interest to scholars of Hebrew metrics.
