The engagement of immigrant children in literature discussion groups in an elementary school classroom in the United States is studied in this article. The analysis shows how the students' responses are embedded in translocal movements across places, time, and people that can be characterized as constructing dynamic cultural flows. The findings are used to envision classroom practices and curricula for response to literature foregrounding reading across communities. In such a curriculum, a space is created for diverse forms of knowledge to be accepted as students make sense of their participation in multiple cultural practices across local and distant places.

لقد تمت دراسة تشغيل الأولاد المهاجرين في مجموعات لمناقشة الأدب في غرفة صف في مدرسة ابتدائية في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية. ويبين التحليل الطريقة التي تنطوي فيها ردود الطلاب في حركات محلية عبر المكان والزمان والإنسان نستطيع أن نصفها كتشكيل تيارات ثقافية ديناميكية. وقد تم استخدام هذه النتائج لتخيل ممارسات غرفة الصف والمناهج ليرد على الأدب الذي يجعل القراءة في المقدمة عبر المجتمعات. وفي منهاج دراسي كهذا، يتم خلق مكان لأنواع متعددة من المعرفة لتكون مقبولة لدى الطلاب الذين يحاولون أن يفهموا اشتراكهم في ممارسات ثقافية متعددة عبر الأماكن المحلية والبعيدة.

本研究探讨移民学童在美国小学教室里参与文学小组讨论的情况。研究分析显示学生对文学的回应讨论是如何嵌入于横贯本土的信息流动中,而这些跨地方、时间、人物的信息流动,可视作动态文化流动的构建。本文作者使用其研究结果,构思一些强调跨社区文学作品阅读的文学回应教学实践及课程,而这样的课程可令学生明白到他们参与横贯本土与远地多重文化实践的意义,为他们创造接受各种不同类型知识的空间。

On a examiné dans cet article l'implication des enfants de migrants dans des groupes de discussion de type littéraire dans une classe d'école élémentaire aux Etats‐Unis. L'analyse montre comment les réponses des élèves s'inscrivent dans des mouvements translocaux entre lieux, temps et personnes différents, ce que l'on peut caractériser comme une construction de flux culturels dynamiques. On utilise les résultats pour envisager des pratiques pédagogiques et des programmes de réaction à la littérature qui mettent en avant la lecture de communautés différentes. Dans un programme ainsi conçu, il y a création d'un espace pour différentes formes de connaissance qui puissent être acceptées et que les élèves donnent du sens à leur participation à des pratiques culturelles multiples entre le lieu où ils se trouvent et un lien éloigné.

В статье описано участие детей‐иммигрантов, обучающихся в начальных школах США, в работе дискуссионных литературных кружков. Анализ показывает, как в ответах этих детей отражаются перемены, которые произошли в их жизни – в плане пространства, времени и человеческого окружения, то есть какова динамика культурных потоков. Результаты используются для планирования программ и методов обучения с учетом произведений, ранее прочитанных детьми в родном для них национально‐культурном пространств...
Heavy metal music has constantly been under scrutiny due to its perceived negative effects on its listeners. Quantitative research has focused on heavy metal music as a risk factor for mental health problems and antisocial behaviour. This research agenda has neglected to explore and quantitatively document how the music can foster positive outcomes among its listeners, in particular a strong sense of community. Fans and producers of heavy metal music constantly reference community as an important aspect of the sonic experience. Still, few studies have addressed the communal experience in heavy metal music from a quantitative perspective. Therefore, the specific aims of this study were to (1) document levels of sense of community among members of the Local Metal Scene (LMS) in Puerto Rico, (2) explore differences on sense of community among core scene members and those at its periphery, and (3) explore predictive variables that can explain sense of community among its members. We present data from a larger study of the metal scene in Puerto Rico, which used a mixed methods approach including ethnographic observations, qualitative interviews and surveys with members of Puerto Rico’s metal scene. Results evidence high levels of sense of community, with existing differences among members of the same scene. Furthermore, our results identify six predictive variables of importance for sense of community among the LMS in Puerto Rico.
