Sankthansaften er en festlig aften, og i Danmark forbundet med sang og båltaler, der holdes af et mangefold af personer, byrådsmedlemmer, præster og forfattere. Særligt forfatteres båltaler trykkes ofte samtidig i en avis. Hvorfor holder forfattere båltaler? Og hvilke emner, pointer og træk er typisk på spil? I hvert fald ikke kun skønhed og harmoni. Som bekendt forbindes den epideitiske tale med

The pedagogy of student-driven imitation is derived from Quintilian’s chapter on imitation in book 10 of the Institutio Oratoria, aimed at the mature student and life long learning. Following the precepts of Quintilian, this contemporary pedagogy focuses on the formation of the citizen-orator by addressing questions such as: ‘What models would be fruitful for me as a student to learn from?’ and ‘H

Fundamental to critical literacy is not only a focus on ideology critique, but also a commitment to the inclusion of culturel and linguistic minorities as well as an engagement with discourse in the construction of social and materiale relations, everyday culture and political life (Luke, p. 6). In addition, Ira Shor highlights values such as ”participatory”, ”affective”, ”situated”, ”multicultura

Abstract in Danish:I artiklen argumenterer jeg for, at rejseskildringen – et typisk eksempel på litterær sagrosa – indeholder en central topos kropslig controversia. Toposen kropslig controversia peger dels på den skrivendes biologiske krop som opsamler og beholder i proces og tekst, dels på en udforskning af en anden position, der potentielt kan udfordre forestillinger om konsensus. Toposen under

Resume Elevstyret imitatio: En retorisk skrivepædagogik i teori og praksis Ph.d.-afhandling indleveret af Christina Matthiesen ved Institut for Medier, Erkendelse og Formidling: Afdeling for retorik, Københavns Universitet. August 2013 Mennesker er imiterende væsener, og imitatio er en velkendt tilgang i mange læringsmiljøer og i den grad understreget i den klassiske retoriske uddannelsestradition

De senere års fremvoksende forskning i relationerne mellem den retoriske tradition og John Deweys tænkning undersøger især ideer om samfund, uddannelse og æstetisk erfaring (se fx Asen 2003, Crick 2014, Stroud 2008). Æstetisk erfaring beskriver Dewey i Art as Experience som værende en afrundet og således særlig erfaring, betinget af det enkelte subjekts orientering. Dewey er således i sin forståel

The durability of existing infrastructures is a worldwide challenge in structural engineering. Societal demands for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, coupled with the financial constraints faced by many countries, push infrastructure management companies and owners to extend the lifespan of existing structures. However, extending the lifespan comes with a set of problems related to safety and tim

The ancient rhetorician and teacher Isocrates placed language and rhetorical education as central to civic life. His teaching highlights training the rhetor in spe to acknowledge particular circumstances and situations (kairos) and debating both sides (dissoi logoi) in order to foster political wisdom and address practical problems (Walzer).

In classical as well as modern rhetorical education there is a strong tradition of imitation as a means to becoming a rhetor, a rhetorical active citizen. Especially Quintilian is praised for his notion of imitation. He highlights critical reading within a broad variety of genres, including poetry and historical accounts, along with attunement to the individual talent and temper of the rhetor in s

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) delivers its genome into the host nucleus via docking of the viral capsid at the nuclear pore complex (NPC), a process mediated by the capsid vertex-specific complex (CVSC), composed of UL17, UL25, and UL36. While prior in vivo studies have implicated UL25 and UL36 in NPC interactions, their interpretation is complicated by indirect effects from viral traffickin

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) represents a severe spectrum of congenital cardiac malformations, which lead to systemic blood supply being dependent on patency of the arterial duct after birth. Antenatal diagnosis, advances in postnatal care and modifications of surgical palliation strategies have led to improved outcomes with the majority of patients born in the current era being expected

Objective: Emergency department (ED) staff need to rapidly establish accurate diagnosis and management for children with arrhythmias. Limited data are available on the presenting features, epidemiology and management of arrhythmias encountered in the ED. The aim of this study was to characterise the incidence, presenting features, management and outcomes of arrhythmias at a large tertiary children

The provision of safe care is complex and difficult to achieve. Awareness of what happens in real time is one of the ways to develop a safe system within a culture of safety. At Great Ormond Street Hospital, we developed and tested a tool specifically designed for patients and families to report harm, with the aim of raising awareness and opportunities for staff to continually improve and provide
