    Im Bann von Tyll – Under the spell of Tyll (Daniel Kehlmann)
    (Department of German, University College Cork, 2020) Benjamin, Ross
    The following extract from Daniel Kehlmann’s novel Tyll, an epic of the Thirty Years War, focuses on legendary figure Tyll Ulenspiegel: vagabond, showman and provocateur. With his touring stage he travels across a country devastated by religious wars, and in many places leaves spectators spellbound by his acrobatic tricks.

    Triptych: Ethical quandaries in personal storytelling for teaching and research
    (Department of German, University College Cork, 2021) Mages, Wendy K.; Dalziel, Fiona; Piazzoli, Erika; Scally, Garrett
    “Triptych,” a reflection in poetic form, does not provide or ponder easy solutions to ethical dilemmas in personal storytelling (true personal stories shared in classrooms and/or performed in public forums), but illuminates a few issues tellers, teachers, and researchers may encounter as they strive to nurture and develop true stories that give voice to a diversity of lived experiences.

    Performative education inside and outside the ethics of care: Three provocations
    (Department of German, University College Cork, 2021) Costantino, Anna; Dalziel, Fiona; Piazzoli, Erika; Scally, Garrett
    Inspired by the provocations raised in Cañas’s RISE Manifesto (2015), this essay argues that language learning, language teaching, and performative activities are caring acts. They are qualitative offerings that manifest themselves as embodied, relational, and artful events concerned with fostering fairer and caring societies. I refer to them as qualitative acts of care. The essay also voices concerns regarding the structural constraints faced by language educators and educational practitioner-researchers when they seek to enact language learning, arts practice, or practice-based research as caring and ethical work. Qualitative care is an ever-changing process that is often difficult to capture (both conceptually and experientially) in the flow of practice, which raises epistemological questions about the way qualitative care is measured and deemed to be self-sufficient and self-contained. Paradoxically, measurement and evaluation turn qualitative care into practices that are referred to here as quantitative acts of care. The essay does not provide readers with answers to the problems raised by Cañas (2015). Rather, from the reflexive standpoint of a language teacher and practitioner-researcher, it suggests the need to leverage the qualities of performative learning and teaching by making any work of care a continual endeavour.

    Aroused from a “false sense of neutrality“: A photo story
    (Department of German, University College Cork, 2021) Dalziel, Fiona; Dalziel, Fiona; Piazzoli, Erika; Scally, Garrett
    The three black and white photographs that provide the impetus for this piece are the work of students participating in an English drama workshop at an Italian university. The brief discussion around the tableaux task “Art is not neutral”, inspired by Cañas’ manifesto, is framed by critical language pedagogy and addresses the issue of students’ agency as socially-responsible citizens.
