“Each and Every One of Us: ” A Comparative Case Study of Coalitional Literacy Praxis in Community Organizing and School Spaces
This qualitative, comparative case study draws on the concepts of coalitional literacy, organizing as critical pedagogy , oppression as intermeshed , and solidarity as pedagogical to address this question: How is solidarity built through literacy practice in two different educational spaces (one community‐organizing based and one classroom‐based) in a large, ethnically and racially diverse, urban context? Through comparative analysis of ethnograp…
Poetry in Pursuit of Activist Anthropology: What the Whole Imparts While in Free Fall
What does it look like? A window into classroom-based critical service learning
Purpose This study aims to illustrate Mitchell’s (2008) theory of critical service-learning within elementary and middle school classrooms, looking specifically at classroom events, in which community partners visit classrooms to discuss student-selected social issues. Design/methodology/approach Data from teacher interviews, classroom observations, teacher-recorded classroom videos and photos of student artifacts were collected and analyzed. Usi…
Abolitionist Teacher Education in the Contact Zone: Tensions of Facilitating Teacher Candidate Learning in Activist Educator Spaces
We share findings from a qualitative study of the tensions experienced as facilitators of an urban education fellowship program in which we brought preservice teachers into activist educator communities. We analyzed field notes, analytic memos, artifacts, and transcripts from group meetings, interviews, and video blogs. Findings revealed four tensions to which we felt compelled to respond related to students: participating in spaces that decenter…
Negotiating “Good Food” at an Elite Elementary School in New York City
This article explores the discourses produced, circulated, and enregistered by administrators, teachers, and parents around and about “good food” at an elite elementary school in New York City. The larger research goal was to understand how privileged school children are socialized into elite foodways (how to identify, procure, and consume food) and elite forms of food talk (the codes and registers used around and about food) that contribute to t…

Methods in Linguistic Anthropology: Interviews and Techniques
When consciously employed, situated interviewing allows linguistic anthropologists and sociolinguists to collect data about what people say they do, think, and feel, as well as how they communicate in the act of talking about such matters within specific contexts. This intersubjective methodology sheds light on community participation in the discursive construction of social identities and relationships based on age, gender, sexuality, class, and…

Poverty and Children's Language in Anthropolitical Perspective
From the "verbal deprivation" and "restricted codes" of the 1960s to contemporary "language gap" discourses, deficit models of children's language have been posited to explain social ills ranging from school failure to intergenerational poverty. However, researchers from a range of disciplines have problematized such models on the basis of the power of language to reflect, articulate, produce, and reproduce structural inequality. This review cons…
Food and Language: Production, Consumption, and Circulation of Meaning and Value
We interrogate the many ways that language and food intersect. Food and its uses provide setting and structure for language, just as language and its uses constrain and inform food activities. We illuminate where and how food and language co-occur and how they are dynamically co-constitutive, foregrounding the potential for food-and-language scholarship to contribute to understandings of political economic processes and structures. We organize ou…
Oscar Wilde and Classical Antiquity
Few authors of the Victorian period were as immersed in classical learning as Oscar Wilde. He studied Classics at Trinity College Dublin and Oxford, winning academic prizes and distinctions at both institutions. His undergraduate notebooks as well as his essays and articles on ancient topics reveal a mind engrossed in problems in classical scholarship and fascinated by the relationship between ancient and modern thought. His first publications we…

How Wilde Read John Addington Symonds’s Studies of the Greek Poets
As a student at Oxford, the young Oscar Wilde was often seen with his copies of an acclaimed (and locally infamous) new popular survey of Greek literature, John Addington Symonds’s Studies of the Greek Poets (in two series, 1873/6). Those copies survive, and are extensively annotated. Although they must be read with caution, these annotations show Wilde to have been a widely read and increasingly confident young classicist, and hint at his nascen…

Change Happens Beyond the Comfort Zone: Bringing Undergraduate Teacher-Candidates Into Activist Teacher Communities
This article shares findings from a qualitative study of an undergraduate urban education fellowship designed to connect teacher-candidates with activist teacher communities and explore questions of social justice, equity, and multicultural teaching. Fellows attended conferences, professional meetings, and on-campus dialogues over one semester. Interview transcripts and meeting notes were analyzed through the lenses of teacher inquiry and transfo…
Architecting Multimodal Spaces for Hard Talk in a Graduate Course on Adolescent Literacy Education
This inquiry into a course on adolescent literacy education uses a case-study and descriptive review analysis to understand how multimodal spaces engage preservice and in-service teachers’ sense making around concepts of race, language, and culture. Drawing on critical feminist and practitioner inquiry frameworks, this article presents what a teaching team learned when designing, enacting, and reflecting on efforts to engage students in hard talk…
The Gap that Won't Be Filled
Enacting Critical Literacy in English Classrooms: How a Teacher Learning Community Supported Critical Inquiry
In a time of increased standardization and top‐down reform, teachers with democratic and social justice‐oriented perspectives must work to create classroom spaces that value student voice and position them as knowledge holders. This article draws on a critical literacy framework to analyze the case study of one teacher working within a teacher study group on adolescent literacy education in a large urban area. This teacher re‐articulated her valu…

A poet of silence: Edward Petherbridge and the Pyladean tradition
The focus of this article is the ancient pantomimic or Pyladean tradition and, specifically, its reception in the work of British actor Edward Petherbridge. Pantomime was a ballet-style entertainment, which flourished in the Graeco-Roman world between the end of the first century BCE and the end of the sixth century CE. It involved a solo dancer (predominantly male and masked), who enacted successively the various characters in a specified plot t…

‘Let the monster be mine’: Seneca and the internalization of imperial furor
This chapter is an analysis of Seneca's Hercules Furens in which, for the first time, the madness is internalized. Seneca dispenses with the interventionist figures, Iris and Lyssa, thereby obscuring the boundary between sanity and insanity. He portrays Hercules throughout as a megalomaniac and menacingly autarkic overreacher, whose madness triggers a latent psychosis, and whose hallucinations merely extrapolate his ‘rational’ aspirations. He thu…

Creating a Herakles for our times: A montage of modern madness
This chapter gives examples of some of the mediated ways in which Euripides' Herakles has infiltrated the current cultural climate, and examines in further detail the current phase in the reception of Euripides' Herakles, that of the ‘neo-Senecan Herakles’. Out of the escalating horrors of our post-9/11 world, and in direct response to the Iraq War, several new stage adaptations of Herakles have emerged. Apart from their record number, what is fa…
A peculiar compound: Hercules as Renaissance man
This chapter considers the peculiar compound that is Renaissance Hercules, around whom two main traditions evolved, one focusing on his heroic virtue, the other on his madness. It demonstrates that, in each case, Hercules was a distinguishable type. His most popular and pervasive incarnation was as ‘Hercules at the Crossroads’, the triumphant hero of a Manichean struggle between Virtue and Vice. As such he was appropriated into civil humanism and…
