Ladders of Beauty


Book Description

Pedagogy and hierarchy are intimately connected. This book traces historical versions of the relationship between hierarchy and education through four key figures: Plato, Augustine, Abelard and Dante. Each provided canonical contributions to how hierarchies both work and fail in education: Plato through the ladder of beauty and the cave metaphor; Augustine through his Confessions; Abelard through his relationship with Heloise; and Dante through the Divine Comedy. All four worked within the tradition of a Great Chain of Being. Its basic premise was that there were qualitatively different orders of experience that needed to be described with the intent of pedagogically revealing to the reader how to travel through the varying stages. As such this tradition exists as one of the great repositories of hierarchical pedagogic practice in the West. This book is an introduction to the history of hierarchical teaching practice by describing various journeys of learning and discussing the techniques and paths used in the process.




Vocabulary Concordance of Harriet E. Wilson's Novel, Our Nig


Book Description

Lewis’ A VOCABULARY CONCORDANCE OF HARRIET E. WILSON’S NOVEL, OUR NIG (2021) tracks empathy featured in Harriet E. Wilson’s 1859 novel, OUR NIG; or, Sketches from the Life of a Free Black. Wilson’s main character, Mag Smith, presents behaviors that display the full humanity of African Americans. Lewis’ CONCORDANCE . . . catalogues the biased interactions among comingled populations. Lewis’ CONCORDANCE . . . identifies Wilson’s biased interactions imposed upon African American characters. The word, “OUR . . .” in Wilson’s title, embraces readers as family members who accept the main characters’ values as their own. Wilson’s subtlety engages topics about Earth’s natural environment, family relations, societal attitudes, cross-cultural exchanges, moral/corrupt practices, finances, entertainments, and personal struggles. Heading each of OUR NIG’s chapters, Wilson’s quotations challenge contemporary racial intolerance and gender bias. Overall, Wilson’s point-counterpoint style denounces ethnic degradations while claiming liberation for the Statue of Liberty’s 1886 “huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

Where a Dobdob Meets a Dikdik


Book Description

How many people know how to pronounce humhumunukunukuapuaa*? How many even know what it is? Bill Casselman does. Dictionary in hand, he'll lead you along the highways and byways of English--the world's wackiest, most widespread language. And those who follow will find their vocabularies replete with sesquipedalian vocables and chock-a-block with euphuistic lexemes of logorrheic. From dobdob to dikdik to the outer reaches of ning-nong and prick-me-dainty, in wide-ranging essays explaining hundreds of words and expressions, both common and obscure, Casselman revels in the strange, the surreal, and the mind-bogglingly weird. You are invited to rootle in odd words and to explore amusing anecdotes about familiar phrases (Who knows the origin of the sports phrase "hat trick"?) You'll laugh along with Casselman as he celebrates the wonders, the complexities, and the absurdities of our amazing language. (*Incidentally, humhumunukunukuapuaa is a Hawaiian term that means "little trigger fish with a small nose like a pig.")
