“Thus Far the Words of Jeremiah” But who gets the last word?

I\u27ll never forget the first time a movie star talked to me. At the end of his television show, Roy Rogers looked right into the camera and sang to me, Happy trails to you, until we meet again. A similar thing happened to my children when Mister Rogers smiled into the camera and reassured them, I like you just the way you are. These moments stand out in our memory because it is so odd-even jarring when an actor or a storyteller steps outside the world of the story, as it were, and enters our own. Sometimes it becomes clear that there are actually three worlds involved: the world of the viewer, the world of the story and the world of the actor. This becomes apparent whenever actors look into the camera and take off their wigs, revealing the distance between themselves and the story

Introduction to A Catalogue of Previously Uncatalogued Ethiopic Manuscripts in England

This catalogue presents information on twenty-three previously uncatalogued Ethiopian manuscripts held in three University Libraries and one private collection in England. Two prior catalogues of the Ethiopian manuscripts in the Bodleian Libraty (Oxford) have been produced. In 1848, A. Dillmann described thirty-five manuscripts in his Cata!ogus Codicum Manuscriplorum Bibliothccae Bodleianae Oxoniensis, Pars. VII. Codices Aethiopici (Oxford). In 1951, Edward Ullendorff described another sixty-six manuscripts in his Catalogue of\u27 Ethiopian Manuscripts in the Bodleian Librwy, Volume II (Oxford). This catalogue describes another fourteen Ethiopian manuscripts at the Bodleian, bringing the total to one hundred fifteen

Avoiding Practice Shock: Using Teacher Movies to Realign Pre-Service Teachers’ Expectations of Teaching

Pre-service teachers often have unrealistic expectations of teaching. They often create an inspiration/content dichotomy in which they expect relational activities to trump content delivery. Unchecked, these misaligned expectations can lead to practice shock, the disorienting and sometimes traumatic identity crisis that often occurs during the first year of teaching. Teacher preparation programs can use course-based reflective activities to provide structure and impetus for reevaluating expectations. This article studies the effects of these activities on two undergraduate pre-service teachers. Popular Hollywood teacher films were used to confront and challenge candidates’ expectations of teaching. An analytical framework based on Baudrillard’s (1995) simulacra provided an interpretive structure for revising expectations, and structured reflections and course assignments were used to assess candidates’ changing beliefs. Results suggest that the combination of teacher movies, an interpretive framework, and structured reflection has the potential to change candidates’ expectations of teaching
