LA FRUSTRATION IDENTITAIRE. QUELQUES IDÉES DE MIHAI MITREA-CELARIANU SUR L’ÉCOLE ROUMAINE DE COMPOSITION by Luana STAN

“…His way of writing music was largely influenced by the modern western music, the New Cinema and the New Novel (Alain Robbe-Grillet, Alain Resnais), the serialism, Karlheinz Stockhausen and the dreams theory. After the Romanian revolution (1989), many composers tried to express their point of view about the existence or the absence of a “Romanian music school” and so often, their opinion was influenced by their own situation as expatriate people in different occidental countries. …”

Perception de la désirabilité et de l’utilité sociales de l’homosexualité et de l’hétérosexualité au collège by Caroline Desombre, Astrid Mignon, Anne Gehin, Annick Durand-Delvigne

“…The purpose of the current resarch was to compare adolescents’ stereotypes of homosexuality and heterosexuality from Beauvois’s theory of social value (1995 ; Dubois, 2005). We asked forty-three secondary school students to describe homosexuals and heterosexuals, from a list of personality traits, by giving their own judgments and by indicating how they thought that society perceived them. …”

Ungrading: Socially Just Assessment Practices for the PA Classroom by Jeannine Love, Jamie Levine Daniel

“…To meet this need, public affairs programs and instructors are developing curricula that: incorporate content regarding systemic inequities; examine sociohistorical contexts in which such inequities are created and perpetuated; and, illuminate power dynamics embedded within these systems by utilizing concepts grounded in critical theory. However, engaging in social justice work requires administrators to not only assess existing power relations but also actively transform them. …”
