A series of demonstrations organised throughout France on 29 January 2009 offers an interesting but ambiguous insight into the opposition to president Sarkozy’s reformist agenda. In this resource, grievances against his policies, his management of the 2008 financial crisis but also against his persona are expressed through flyers, stickers,posters and photos taken during the demonstration in Paris (copyright Emmanuel Godin). Left-wing political parties, trade-unions, a variety of associations (from the influential and famous, such as ATTAC, to the lesser known ‘Ni Pauvres, Ni Soumis’) provide different arguments against policies which are generally perceived as undermining the ‘French model’. A PowerPoint presentation explaining how the French model may be conceptualised is included as well as links to major left-wing organisations and a short indicative bibliography.

The best way to learn any foreign language is simply to immerse yourself in the sounds and culture of your TL (target language). One authentic immersive environment in which you can improve your language dramatically is where the language is spoken and used on a daily basis. To benefit fully from your experience abroad you need to make an effort to create plenty of opportunities to interact with the locals and sample the local culture.

The concept cultural studies is rather complex. To begin with the word 'culture' itself means different things to different people, such as great works of art and literature, or works of popular culture, such as pop songs and soap operas, or the way that particular groups of people live their everyday lives. Generally, when you talk about cultural studies as a subject at university it is not so much about another culture, but it has more to do with a particular way of looking at the world in which people live, and how and why people think, produce and do the things they think, produce and do. This self-study pack offers an introduction to cultural studies, using representations of Amsterdam as an illustration. The material assumes no knowledge of Dutch.

This resource contains a packaged learning activity for teaching bibliography and other referencing. It was developed and tested on a Year 1 study skills module. It consists of material on referencing (including issues of poor academic practice/plagiarism), library use and working with texts at undergraduate level. In principle, the file can be imported directly into Moodle (it is in GIFT format) for use in the 'Quiz' application there. If for any reason this does not work, please contact me as it is probably a version compatibility issue. A number of the items contain images - if these do not display please let me know (as sometimes Moodle strips out images on export) and I can send separately.
Items can be selected at will to make up different types of learning activities (e.g., summative assessment, guided study, progress orientation, seminar preparation, exam revision, etc.) according to individual needs.
The team at Winchester continue to develop further item banks in a range of subject areas and would be interested in partnering with institutions who would like to participate.

This podcast in Portuguese was created by Emilia Kroprowska, a student of Spanish and Latin American Studies at the School of Languages and Area Studies, University of Portsmouth, as a part of a research project entitled ‘The Role of Student Audio Casting and Production in the Language Learning Curriculum’. The podcast was created using Audacity recording software and enhanced with free images using Windows Movie Maker. The recording is based on the student’s own original research carried out in the year 2007 - 2008. This podcast is a description of the Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé by a filh-do-santo, or initiate, Mônica Baptista Costa. She speaks about the origin of the religion, in Africa approximately 5,000 years ago. She also explains why Candomblé is fundamentally a syncretic religion, and the difference between Candomblé, Umbanda and other religions in Brazil. The podcast can be used as a learning resource in several different ways: as a focus for discussion, aural comprehension or as a base for further research by students in the field of Lusophone, Brazilian and Latin American studies. A transcript of the podcast is also included.

Eugène Delacroix’ painting ‘Le 28 juillet 1830: la liberté guidant le peuple’ (1831) was not welcomed by the critics in 1831, but has become since an icone of French republican identity. This resource provides links to two websites which contextualise and critically analyse the ambiguous and contested message of Delacroix’ s painting. Since then, the central character of the painting has been used, reused and transformed a countless number of time. At the start of the XXI century , its remains an ubiquitous icone, but its meaning may have changed.
Undergraduate students may want to compare Delacroix’ painting with the poster produced by the French Communist Party in September 2009 for its annual conference/ celebration (La Fête de l’Humanité). The comparison may also include the flyer produced by Solidaires (a cartel of unions on the left of the left) for the 26 January 2009 demonstration against the reforms initiated by President Sarkozy. Students may want to discuss whether and how different re-workings of ‘Marianne’ have altered its meaning. Earlier representations are also included. A short indicative bibliography is included, stressing the significance of Maurice Agulhon's work on the subject. In his early work, Agulhon shows that there are two female symbols: 'Marianne', the earthy, loose-haired, threatening radical, with her Phrygian hat, sculpted by Francois Rude (1784-1855)on the Arc de Triomphe and a more stately, serene Goddess of Liberty with her start-girt crown, representing the Republique conservatrice. Finally further historical contextualisation, archival resources and interviews with experts can be accessed through the website 'France 1815 to 2003'.

The items in this interactive learning activity were developed and tested on a Year 1 module entitled 'Critical Reading: Fiction'. A number of the questions are specific to the four texts studied on that module (Ian McEwan's "Saturday", "Jane Eyre", Rhys's "Wide Sargasso Sea" and Adrea Levy's "Small Island"), and will therefore only be of use to modules covering the same texts. However, many of the questions are concerned with critical theory and approaches to critical practice at undergraduate level, so will have applicability for the creation of learning activities relevant to many modules.
In principle, the file can be imported directly into Moodle (it is in GIFT format) for use in the 'Quiz' application there. If for any reason this does not work, please contact me as it is probably a version compatibility issue. A number of the items contain images - if these do not display please let me know (as sometimes Moodle strips out images on export) and I can send separately.
Items can be selected at will to make up different types of learning activities (e.g., summative assessment, guided study, progress orientation, seminar preparation, exam revision, etc.) according to individual needs.
The team at Winchester continue to develop further item banks in a range of subject areas and would be interested in partnering with institutions who would like to participate.
