Laboratories of Virtue

Punishment, Revolution, and Authority in Philadelphia, 1760-1835

Michael Meranze uses Philadelphia as a case study to analyze the relationship between penal reform and liberalism in early America. In Laboratories of Virtue, he interprets the evolving system of criminal punishment as a microcosm of social tensions that characterized the early American republic. Engaging recent work on the history of punishment in England and continental Europe, Meranze traces criminal punishment from the late colonial system of publicly inflicted corporal penalties to the establishment of penitentiaries in the Jacksonian period. Throughout, he reveals a world of class difference and contested values in which those who did not fit the emerging bourgeois ethos were disciplined and eventually segregated. By focusing attention on the system of public penal labor that developed in the 1780s, Meranze effectively links penal reform to the development of republican principles in the Revolutionary era. His study, richly informed by Foucaultian and Freudian theory, departs from recent scholarship that treats penal reform as a nostalgic effort to reestablish social stability. Instead, Meranze interprets the reform of punishment as a forward-looking project. He argues that the new disciplinary practices arose from the reformers' struggle to contain or eliminate contradictions to their vision of an enlightened, liberal republic.

Légère comme un papillon

"Des années durant, j'ai cherché par tous les moyens à devenir aussi légère qu'un papillon. Et j'y suis presque arrivée. En termes de kilos, s'entend. Car pour ce qui est du reste, la vie a souvent été trop pesante pour moi. De devoir être la meilleure. De m'efforcer de répondre aux attentes des autres. D'oublier Alessandro, d'abandonner mon pays, de faire du français ma langue. Mais le plus pesant fut de recommencer à vivre..."Dans ce livre intime et émouvant, la philosophe Michela Marzano raconte son histoire d'anorexique, faite de douleurs dérobées, de moments intenses, de secrets familiaux, mais cette histoire personnelle, ce passé qui ne passe pas, c'est aussi la souffrance de beaucoup d'entre nous.

Dimensions of Learning Teachers Manual, 2nd Edition

The premise of Dimensions of Learning an instructional framework founded on the best of what researchers and theorists know about learning is that five types, or dimensions, of thinking are essential to successful learning. These are (1) positive attitudes and perceptions about learning, (2) thinking involved in acquiring and integrating knowledge, (3) thinking involved in extending and refining knowledge, (4) thinking involved in using knowledge meaningfully, and (5) productive habits of mind. Dimensions of Learning is a valuable tool for reorganizing curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The authors discuss each of the five dimensions in detail and describe hundreds of teaching strategies that support them for example, how to help students construct meaning for declarative knowledge, internalize procedural knowledge, and see the relevance of what they are expected to learn. The authors provide many examples at the elementary and secondary classroom levels. Teachers of grades K-12 can use this information to improve teaching and learning in any content area.
