7/6/2023 0 Comments Freire 1968![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While participatory and action research traditions existed before Pedagogy of the Oppressed, first published in 1968, Freire’s work articulated the epistemological grounding for PAR as a liberatory praxis. Together, both PAR and Freirean Literacy movements aim to create local autonomy and capacity for collective democratic participation, by providing to working-class participants knowledge and organizing skills. There are numerous parallels between adult literacy and Participatory Action Research (PAR) initiatives, to which Freirean roots are central. Along his life, Freire contributed to shifting the paradigm of what counts as literacy – from basic reading and writing words to the development of sociocritical understandings of one’s lived experiences. Paulo Freire is celebrated worldwide for having developed literacy methods based on learners’ thematic universe and cultivating ways to promote social justice.

But his divergence from Plato’s teaching was too great to make this possible, and Plato’s nephew Speusippus was chosen instead. At the death of Plato in 347, the pre-eminent ability of Aristotle would seem to have designated him to succeed to the leadership of the Academy. In the later years of his association with Plato and the Academy he began to lecture on his own account, especially on the subject of rhetoric. He joined the Academy and studied under Plato, attending his lectures for a period of twenty years. At age 17 his guardian, Proxenus, sent him to Athens, the intellectual centre of the world, to complete his education. While he was still a boy his father died. His father Nichomachus was court physician to King Amyntas of Macedonia, and from this began Aristotle’s long association with the Macedonian Court, which considerably influenced his life. Aristotle was born in 384 BCE at Stagirus, a now extinct Greek colony and seaport on the coast of Thrace. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments The annotated sandman![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Dreaming is comprised of multicultural fans of various beliefs, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

Part of the story of the real von Trapp family can be found in the records of the National Archives. In thinking about the fictionalized movie version of Maria von Trapp as compared to this very real Maria von Trapp, I came to realize that the story of the von Trapp family was probably something closer to human, and therefore much more interesting, than the movie led me to believe. In the early 1970s I saw Maria von Trapp herself on Dinah Shore's television show, and boy, was she not like the Julie Andrews version of Maria! She didn't look like Julie, and she came across as a true force of nature. "It's not historically accurate!" I'd protest, a small archivist in the making. I liked the singing, and Maria was so pretty and kind! As I grew older, more aware of world history, and saturated by viewing the movie at least once yearly, I was struck and annoyed by the somewhat sanitized story of the von Trapp family it told, as well as the bad 1960s hairdos and costumes. I first saw the movie The Sound of Music as a young child, probably in the late 1960s.
