Victoria Carrington Culture and a ‘ Glocalized ’ Model of Literacy ‘ I ’ m in a Bad Mood . Let ’ s Go Shopping ’ : Interactive Dolls
نویسنده
چکیده
This article examines the significance of Diva Starz, a new line of interactive dolls aimed at young girls between 6 and 11 years for current models of literacy. It argues that these dolls have much to tell us about the construction of children as consumers, our views about ‘childhood’, and the models of literacy instruction most appropriate for giving children the skills and knowledge needed to deal with the complex pedagogic texts characteristic of childhood in contemporary consumer culture.

Applying Earlier Literacy Research in Iran to Current Literacy Theory and Policy
In this paper, I attempt to bring together approaches to literacy in theory and in practice, drawing upon various activities I have been involved in over the years–research in Iranian villages during the 1970s; linking research and theory to literacy policy, with particular reference to a contribution to the Unesco Global Monitoring Report in 2004 and involvement in an ongoing adult literacy tr...
متن کاملUPPER BOUNDS FOR FINITENESS OF GENERALIZED LOCAL COHOMOLOGY MODULES
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with non-zero identity and $fa$ an ideal of $R$. Let $M$ be a finite $R$--module of finite projective dimension and $N$ an arbitrary finite $R$--module. We characterize the membership of the generalized local cohomology modules $lc^{i}_{fa}(M,N)$ in certain Serre subcategories of the category of modules from upper bounds. We define and study the properti...
متن کاملThe generalized total graph of modules respect to proper submodules over commutative rings.
Let $M$ be a module over a commutative ring $R$ and let $N$ be a proper submodule of $M$. The total graph of $M$ over $R$ with respect to $N$, denoted by $T(Gamma_{N}(M))$, have been introduced and studied in [2]. In this paper, A generalization of the total graph $T(Gamma_{N}(M))$, denoted by $T(Gamma_{N,I}(M))$ is presented, where $I$ is an ideal of $R$. It is the graph with all elements of $...
متن کاملGroup ${1, -1, i, -i}$ Cordial Labeling of sum of $C_n$ and $K_m$ for some $m$
Let G be a (p,q) graph and A be a group. We denote the order of an element $a in A $ by $o(a).$ Let $ f:V(G)rightarrow A$ be a function. For each edge $uv$ assign the label 1 if $(o(f(u)),o(f(v)))=1 $or $0$ otherwise. $f$ is called a group A Cordial labeling if $|v_f(a)-v_f(b)| leq 1$ and $|e_f(0)- e_f(1)|leq 1$, where $v_f(x)$ and $e_f(n)$ respectively denote the number of vertices labelled w...
متن کاملRetail Therapy: A Strategic Effort to Improve Mood
“Retail therapy” is often applied to the notion of trying to cheer oneself up through the purchase of self-treats. The negative moods that lead to retail therapy, however, have also been associated with greater impulsivity and a lack of behavioral control. Does this lead to mindless shopping when consumers are “down” and regret later? The current work documents that a bad mood does lead to grea...
