Abstract

Libraries in today's global world have emerged as key players in building a culture for reading in communities while enhancing the literacy development of children, youth, adults and seniors. Whether one lives in a modern city with sophisticated library services or in a remote region of the world where access to books and literacy services may be limited, librarians and libraries are contributing to the development of learning communities. This book captures some of the essence of this work in libraries in order to inspire and support all those who value the role of libraries in building global communities.The authors highlight the emerging role of libraries and community partners in literacy development and provide concrete examples via case studies drawn from global communities, demonstrating how libraries are working to support local literacies. They also suggest recommendations for supporting the critical role for libraries in supporting global literacies. The book will become essential reading for all those interested in literacy and libraries throughout the world.

Abstract

Par une étude ethnographique des usages sociaux de l'écrit dans la région cotonnière du Mali, ce livre analyse les dynamiques d'alphabétisation au sens large, allant au-delà des filières de formation pour étudier la place de l'écrit dans les activités les plus quotidiennes. La pluralité des contextes où l'on apprend à lire et à écrire (alphabétisation pour adultes et filières scolaires) et des langues de l'écrit (français, bambara, arabe) façonne des profils de lettrés divers. L'ouvrage s'intéresse tout particulièrement aux effets de la dynamique d'alphabétisation impulsée par les interventions liées au développement à partir des années 1970. L'analyse minutieuse des trajectoires de formation à l'échelle d'un village permet d'approcher les modalités d'inscription de l'écriture dans l'espace social. L'étude des pratiques de lecture, d'écriture et de compte, et des significations qui y sont attachées, amène à identifier comme domaine d'écriture privilégié l'espace personnel. En scrutant les façons de désigner et de délimiter cet espace « à soi », l'ouvrage démontre que l'écriture est un facteur essentiel dans la redéfinition des contours du public et du privé, et rapporte ces processus aux transformations socio-économiques en cours. À partir d'un ancrage comparatiste, ce livre propose de dépasser le questionnement classique autour du partage oralité/écriture, et contribue au domaine émergent des travaux sur l'écriture sur les terrains africains. Il ouvre des perspectives plus générales sur le rapport à soi et la subjectivité dans l'Afrique contemporaine.

Abstract

In October 2012, Thérèse de Hemptinne retired after a successful academic career at the department of (medieval) History at Ghent University. Carrying on and strengthening the internationally recognized Ghent tradition of Auxiliary Sciences for the study of the Middle Ages, Thérèse de Hemptinne taught for many years the Bachelor's and Master's courses of Diplomatics and Palaeography. Following her research interests, which from the 1990s onward gradually expanded to focus on the position and role of women in a medieval man's world, Thérèse de Hemptinne also integrated gender as a methodological tool of analysis into the Master's courses 'Historical Criticism' and the 'Gender Research Seminar', and acted as a supervisor of many Master's theses produced in the field of women and gender studies. The critical edition of the charters of the counts of Flanders Thierry and Philip of Alsace (1128-1191) can be considered one of the most important scholarly achievements of Thérèse de Hemptinne.

Abstract

This is the first concentrated study to examine the literacy of nuns in a comparative fashion and at the same time pays close attention to the individual textual and cultural complexities. This collection of essays, focused on the literacies of nuns in medieval Europe, brings together specialists working on diverse geographical areas to create a dialogue about the Latin and vernacular texts nuns read, wrote, and exchanged, primarily in northern Europe from the eighth to the mid-sixteenth centuries. To date, there has been some significant research in this field but little in the way of cross-cultural study. Drawing especially on the rich body of scholarship that currently exists about nuns and books in England, Germany, the Low Countries, and Sweden, these essays investigate the meaning of nuns’ literacies in terms of reading and writing, Latin and the vernaculars. Contributors to this volume investigate the topic of literacy primarily from palaeographical and textual evidence and by discussing information about book ownership and book production in convents. In this first concentrated study that examines the literacy of nuns in a comparative fashion the essays pay close attention to the individual textual and cultural complexities of nuns’ literacies in the European Middle Ages.
