Industrial Revolution

Here´s the reading guide we discussed last Friday.

Secondary-Source Analysis:
Hobsbawn, E. Chapter 2: “The Industrial Revolution” in The Age of Revolution (1789- 1848). New York: Vintage 1996

1. Explain Hobsbawm’s periodization (choice of dates) for the Age of Revolution.

2. How does Hobsbawm define the term industrial Revolution? When was the term coined? Why then and not before?

3. As every major historical event the Industrial Revolution was produced by a number of forces of different nature that were present in Britain in the late 18th century. Discuss the role the following issues played in the Industrial Revolution:
Agricultural Revolution – Colonial expansion – International trade – Scientific development – economic policies – sources of energy – political conditions.

4. Hobsbawm states that “cotton was the first industry to be revolutionized” (1996: 37). Find out about the inventions that revolutionized the textile industry and design a chart to organize the information collected.

5. Refer to the social consequences of the Industrial Revolution. Explain why the transition to the new economy brought about sadness and dissatisfaction and how the working classes reacted to the social and economic changes.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING AN OUTLINE MAP OF THE USA & COLOUR PENCILS/ MARKERS OR CRAYONS FOR NEXT CLASS.

Answers to questions

1) Until when did Virginia stretch from Maine to Georgia? To the North, the territory Raleigh called "Virginia" ceased to be named so when the "New England" colonies were established. Maine was founded in 1623 (see PPP). To the South, Virgina was remapped  when the Carolinas were settled in the 1660s. What we need to understand here is that we're looking into the settlements with a map of present-day US in our minds/before our eyes. Thus, we designate the territories with the names of present-day states (to simplify the presentation and aid comprehension). At the time, greographical knowledge was not advanced, which means the territories so called Virginia, Maine, etc... had imprecise boundaries. The chronological organization of the settlement and the mapping of those movements are rationalizations that history and geography have imposed on the past so as to be able to narrate/explain it.
2) Brogan's ch. 3, pp. 23-24 reads "...after the glorious dispatch of the first voyages, investors grew wary. The Company(...)collapse(d) (...). Virginia became a colony under the direct government of the King." a) Did that make it a royal/proprietor colony? A crown colony, in theory (only in theory) the property of the crown. A proprietor colony would be the property of an individual (who had secured  ownership from the monarch)
b) Then we continue reading that by 1635 the General Assembly had become the central institution of the colony... Does this mean that they were still independent from the King? Or that though the colony was under direct royal control the colonists had the right to govern themselves? The colonies, by virtue of the very name that designates their status, did not become independent until the Declaration of Independence and then they had to win their freedom by fighting the War of Independence. During the colonial period, the colonies (we're being very redundant here) enjoyed  a relatively high degree of self-government/rule. They were under royal/company/proprietor control but they were so far away from the mother country/metropolis that it was impossible to rule them directly from London. They were able to organize their own domestic/home affairs while defence and trade were regulated from Westminster.
3) What was the consequence of Connecticut not having charter? None as far as I know...
4) Regarding the assignments, what period should we begin with? 17th, 18th c...? If you read the schedule for  assignment 1 (and the rest of the assignments) you will see it reads "Revolution (American/French)". However, if you're dealing with Enlightement thinkers, some mention has to be made concerning the Scientific/Philosophical Revolution of the 17th c.
 5) We are dealing with the origins of Critical Pedagogy. Do we have to explain what critical pedagogy is? Yes, for the time being a very very brief definition of critical pedagogy and a short chronology of its development (Basically, for the moment, Freire & McLaren)  and compare it with the thinkers of the time whose ideas approach the most to the ones we are aiming at? No, no comparisons, they're impossible. History explain,s, hypothesizes, relates but it does not usually compare and contrast  Do we start by those thinkers straight away and wait to explain all about critical pedagogy until we get to neo-marxists/critial theorists? Not quite. You should start by briefly defining what CP is (Freire & McLaren--pls talk to Marcela), summarily tracing its birth in the second half of the 20th c and then stating that you will search for its origins/roots beginning with the Age of Revolution in the 18th c...
Thanks for your interest.
I'm sure the rest of the group will find the answers are also relevant (related) to their work

See previous entry & calendar for instructions for TP1 (30/3).

Materials for TP1: 

• SID FH 
• JSTOR
• Google Books
• Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (Bib. Electrónica) http://www.biblioteca.mincyt.gov.ar/ (only from computers at the UNMDP).

Every Monday we'll spend four hours together with a lunch break at noon. The only thing students need to do to spend those four hours at ease and eventually enjoy them is to take a thorough look at the PPP to anticipate the topic that will be developed and to read (i..e study) the corresponding bibliography in advance to be able to follow the lecture and to participate in it.

Ana will be teaching two discussion sessions on Wednesdays 10-12 and 12-14. The groups must be evenly distributed. On Monday 19th we'll divide those groups.

I will answer queries about TP1 on Monday 19th after class or before then on the blog.

Have a great weekend.

This PPP is not disciplinary but for all teachers (and students) to share. Enjoy!!

PROYECTO DE CURSO PARA ALUMNOS AVANZADOS DE PROFESORADOS, TRADUCTORADOS Y LICENCIATURAS EN INGLÉS Y DOCENTES, TRADUCTORES Y LICENCIADOS EN INGLÉS

Literatura y cine en idioma inglés: un acercamiento al género detectivesco

Este grupo de lectura y cine para alumnos avanzados de profesorados, traductorados y licenciaturas en inglés y docentes, traductores y licenciados en inglés constará de un encuentro semanal los días viernes de dos horas reloj cada uno —en una franja horaria de 17 a 19  horas—, desde el 13 de abril  al 29 de junio de 2012. Inscripción: Secretaría de Extensión de la Facultad de Humanidades (extfhum@mdp.edu.ar) Los participantes también realizarán actividades no presenciales basadas principalmente en la lectura domiciliaria y visión de películas como suplemento de las clases.

Esta propuesta tiene como eje central acceder al género policial en sus versiones canónicas, rupturas y manifestaciones actuales, representativas de las últimas décadas del siglo XIX y la primera década del siglo XXI. Se invitará a los participantes de este grupo de lectura y cine al análisis de las distintas producciones sugeridas desde un enfoque de apropiación y co-construcción del texto impreso o mediático desde su propia cosmovisión, teniendo así acceso a distintas voces que seguramente no solo reflejarán sino provocarán variadas miradas hacia las diferentes manifestaciones ofrecidas.

En cada encuentro se introducirán temáticas generadoras que enmarquen la selección del material de lectura y las películas para su posterior discusión, presentándose diferentes discursos literarios y cinematográficos acercándose una selección de producciones de distintos autores.

Se trabajará dentro del enfoque del aula-taller como metodología de la participación, organizándola a esta última como proceso de aprendizaje. De esta manera se incentivará la comunicación, el intercambio, el reconocimiento y la valoración de lo que el otro aporta. Además del trabajo en pequeños o grandes grupos propios de este tipo de propuesta, el aula taller también requerirá de momentos de trabajo individual. Se promoverá de este modo también la reflexión personal, la visión crítica, analítica y de confrontación acerca de las propias creencias y marcos teóricos. Las docentes invitarán a los asistentes a compartir apreciaciones, guiándolos para fundamentar sus opiniones y conclusiones.

                L@s docentes y alumn@s contarán con un blog y direcciones de e-mail para tutorías donde podrán enviar sus dudas, borradores de trabajos, actividades específicas, consultas, entre otros. También se les brindarán materiales impresos y electrónicos, así como listas de sitios en Internet afines a los temas a tratar para así acceder a otras fuentes de información, entrevistas con los distintos autores/directores y otras obras de los creadores analizados. 

EVALUACIÓN

                Para obtener la certificación correspondiente, los asistentes deberán, primero, asistir a 85% de las clases dadas

En cuanto a los encuentros, deberán participar en las actividades propuestas como discusión, resolución de cuestionarios de manera individual o en pequeños grupos, etc.

Finalmente, los asistentes al taller, habiéndose organizado en pequeños grupos colaborativos de trabajo, y con la guía de las docentes, presentarán ante la clase su propio análisis de una obra policial de su elección. De esta manera, el grupo compartirá su problematización de las temáticas del curso, al mismo tiempo que participa de una instancia de construcción compartida del conocimiento.

CUPO MÍNIMO: 15 personas /CUPO MAXÍMO: 35 Personas

No se cobrará arancel a los alumnos que acrediten su condición de tales.
