English Is Not Easy

A Visual Guide to the Language

By: Luci Gutiérrez

A cheeky, sophisticated, and strikingly illustrated guide that leaves generic English reference books in the dust When prominent Barcelona-based illustrator Luci Gutiérrez found herself tuning out in English class, she used her love of drawing to help retain what she’d learned. Ditching the kind of bland and useless phrases that fill most English textbooks, Gutiérrez uses whimsical characters, cheeky dialogue, and even insults to bring vocabulary, grammar, and usage topics to life. Nearly forty-seven million people in the United States speak a language other than English at home, and even most native speakers struggle with subtle distinctions, such as when to use “whether” as opposed to “if.” (For example: I wonder whether I should have added a little more poison to his tea.) Already published to wide acclaim abroad, English Is Not Easy is sure to delight grammar mavens and students of English in America.

Critical Data Literacies

Rethinking Data and Everyday Life

By: Luci Pangrazio,Neil Selwyn

A guide to everything you need to understand to navigate a world increasingly governed by data. Data has become a defining issue of current times. Our everyday lives are shaped by the data that is produced about us (and by us) through digital technologies. In this book, Critical Data Literacies, Luci Pangrazio and Neil Selwyn introduce readers to the central concepts, ideas, and arguments required to make sense of life in the data age. The authors challenge the idea that datafication is an inevitable and inescapable condition. Drawing on emerging areas of scholarship such as data justice, data feminism, and other critical data studies approaches, they explore how individuals and communities can empower themselves to engage with data critically and creatively. Over the course of eight wide-ranging chapters, the book introduces readers to the main components of critical data literacies—from the fundamentals of identifying and understanding data to the complexities of engaging with more combative data tactics. Critical Data Literacies explores how the tradition of critical literacies can offer a powerful foundation to address the big concerns of the data age, such as issues of data justice and privacy, algorithmic bias, dataveillance, and disinformation. Bringing together cutting-edge thinking and discussion from across education, sociology, psychology, and media and communication studies, Critical Data Literacies develops a powerful argument for collectively rethinking the role that data plays in our everyday lives and re-establishing agency, free will, and the democratic public sphere.

Young People's Literacies in the Digital Age

Continuities, Conflicts and Contradictions

By: Luci Pangrazio

What do young people really do with digital media? Young People's Literacies in the Digital Age aims to debunk the common myths and assumptions that are associated with young people's relationship with digital media. In contrast to widespread notions of the empowered and enabled 'digital native', the book presents a more complex picture of young people's digital lives. Focusing on the notion of 'critical digital literacies' this book tackles a number of pressing questions that are often ignored in media hype and political panics over young people’s digital media use, including: In what ways can digital media enhance, shape or constrain identity representation and communication? How do digital experiences map onto young people’s everyday lives? What are young people’s critical understandings of digital media and how did they develop these? What are the dominant understandings young people have of digital media and in whose interests do they work? These questions are addressed through the findings of a year of fieldwork with groups of young people aged 14 to 19 years. Over the course of eight chapters, the experiences and views of these young people are explored with reference to various academic literatures, such as digital literacies, media and communication studies, critical theory and youth studies. Starting with their early socialisation into the digital context, the book traces the continuities, contradictions and conflicts they encounter as part of their practices. Written in a detailed but accessible manner, this book develops a unique perspective on young people’s digital lives.

Studies in the History of An Idea

By: Moshe Barasch,Luci Serrano

Over the centuries, European debate about the nature and status of images of God and sacred figures has often upset the established order and shaken societies to their core. Out of this debate, an identifiable doctrine has emerged of the image in general and of the divine image in particular. This fascinating work concentrates on these historical arguments, from the period of Late Antiquity up to the great and classic defenses of images by St. John of Damascus and Theodore of Studion. Icon extends beyond the immediate concerns of religion, philosophy, aesthetics, history, and art, to engage them all.

English Is Not Easy

By: Gutierrez Luci

Víte, kdy použít whether a kdy if? Díky příkladové větě si to jistě ujasníte: I wonder whether I should have added a little more poison to his tea? Nevíte, kam umístit čárku v podmínkových větách? Chce si ujasnit a zopakovat základní předložky pomocí krys a popelnice? Tento skvěle ilustrovaný průvodce představuje složitost anglického jazyka, slovíčka i gramatiku. Celkem 17 zábavných kapitol nás seznámí s nejrůznějšími úskalími anglického jazyka, na které autorka - grafička, která tuto knihu vytvořila, narazila během svého pobytu v New Yorku. English Is Not Easy nenabízí zkrácené fráze o extrémních sportech a atmosférických podmínkách, které se dozvíte v obvyklých učebnicích angličtiny. Tato kniha nabízí slovní zásobu situací, ve kterých se dospělý čtenář skutečně ocitá. Potřebujete někoho urazit? Ano, i urážky tu najdete. A imbecil je z nich ta nejslušnější. Autorčiny postavy, hravé věty, dialogy ze života, a především skvělé ilustrace nás seznámí se vším – od problematiky slovesa to be až po komplikované slovesné časy a zdánlivě nesmyslné idiomy. Pro samouky, kteří se chtějí zlepšit v konverzaci, a pro „věčné začátečníky“, je tato kniha nápaditým a poutavým ilustrovaným dobrodružstvím na cestě angličtinou.
