Edusemiotics – A Handbook 1st ed

November 23, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=9811014930]

Edusemiotics is a pioneering area of study that connects semiotics – the science of signs – with educational theory and the philosophy of education. This volume reflects cutting-edge research by scholars in education and in semiotics worldwide, bridging the two discourses to present the state of the art in this new transdisciplinary field.

The book’s emphasis is on educational theory as based on semiotic philosophy: as such, it challenges the current conception of semiotics in education as merely a sub-branch of applied semiotics. It presents edusemiotics as a novel unified conceptual framework at the interface of theoretical semiotics and educational philosophy, based on both theoretical and empirical studies from around the world.

The chapters in this handbook also bring to the fore the intellectual legacy of Charles S. Peirce, John Dewey, Gilles Deleuze, Umberto Eco, Julia Kristeva, Mikhail Bakhtin, Paul Ricoeur, Martin Heidegger and other thinkers, pointing out the implications of edusemiotics for meaningful pedagogy and experiential learning in diverse contexts.

About the Author

Inna Semetsky has a PhD in the philosophy of education from Columbia University in New York in addition to her earlier MA in counseling and Grad.Dip.Ed. in mathematics and science education. She was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Monash University, Australia and has received the First Roberta Kevelson Memorial Award from the Semiotic Society of America (SSA) for her innovative research. She serves on the editorial boards of several academic journals including Educational Philosophy and Theory. She has produced over 150 academic publications including nine books. Among her titles are Deleuze, Education and Becoming (2006); Re-Symbolization of the Self (2011); Jung and Educational Theory (2013); and The Edusemiotics of Images (2013). Her latest book Edusemiotics: semiotic philosophy as educational foundation (coauthored with Andrew Stables) received a 2015 Book Award from the Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia (PESA). She has guest-edited several special issues of such journals as Educational Philosophy and Theory, Studies in Philosophy and Education, Policy Futures in Education, and Semiotica – a journal of the International Association for Semiotic Studies (IASS). She now serves as a chief consultant to the recently established Institute for Edusemiotic Studies (IES) registered in Melbourne, Australia.

Prenatal Testosterone in Mind: Amniotic Fluid Studies (MIT Press)

November 17, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=0262524562]

Sex differences are one thing, individual differences are another. The emerging success of using variations in the human genome to explain individuality can blind us to the contributions that later phenotypical events make. By relating individual differences in testosterone levels during fetal life with childhood behavior, Baron-Cohen and his colleagues provide a challenging and well-argued concept of the early power of this hormone to shape our future selves: helping to make us what we are, but sometimes — as in autism — with devastating consequences. Combine what this book tells you about testosterone at the dawn our lives with what we know of its later power, and you have a molecule which has truly shaped human history.

(Joe Herbert, Professor of Neuroscience, University of Cambridge)

From the Inside Flap

“A lucid presentation of a fascinating and ingenious new body of research.”
