Melamed identifies liberal multiculturalism, which advocates \"social solidarity\" and \"affirm[s] a positive cultural pluralism\" as one way these antiracisms are transmitted (Melamed 35). What happens when official antiracisms break down? In a post-Trump age, racist attitudes have risen, sanctioned by the nation's highest political power. I identify children's picture books as an important cultural site of liberal multiculturalism in an age where official antiracisms are collapsing and cannot be relied upon to maintain liberal social structures. I will be examining several picture books published since 2018, as they emphasize the importance of pluralism as an inherent aspect of American national identity.","PeriodicalId":40856,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Literature Association Quarterly","volume":"47 1","pages":"157 - 175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43456301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Valente breaks up and remakes the Orientalist map of Anglo-American fantasy through a process of aggressive revision that she calls \"mythpunk.\" Like her predecessors, Valente borrows images from Middle Eastern folklore, but her mixing and re-remixing of global cultural traditions is value neutral. She does not use images from any one region of the world to represent cultural superiority or inferiority, or to demarcate opposing sides in a battle between good and evil. Her mythpunk approach to fantasy rejects the binary thinking that structures much of C.S. Lewis' influential Chronicles of Narnia—but it at the same time, it engages deeply with the element of cultural syncretism that Lewis himself also includes.","PeriodicalId":40856,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Literature Association Quarterly","volume":"47 1","pages":"176 - 190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49287600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have implemented such a system in a realistic flight simulator using the NextMind classification algorithms and framework to decode pilots' intention (reactive BCI) and to infer their level of attention (passive BCI). Twelve pilots used the reactive BCI to perform checklists along with an anti-collision radar monitoring task that was supervised by the passive BCI. The latter simulated an automatic avoidance maneuver when it detected that pilots missed an incoming collision. The reactive BCI reached 100% classification accuracy with a mean reaction time of 1.6 s when exclusively performing the checklist task. Accuracy was up to 98.5% with a mean reaction time of 2.5 s when pilots also had to fly the aircraft and monitor the anti-collision radar. The passive BCI achieved a <i>F</i><sub>1</sub>-score of 0.94. This first demonstration shows the potential of a dual BCI to improve human-machine teaming which could be applied to a variety of applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":40856,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Literature Association Quarterly","volume":"36 1","pages":"824780"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10790872/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88771122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He is simply a very funny man, as when he notes, with a droll Hobbesian allusion, that a reader might identify with a character as being short, “but find nothing else in that character to connect to, perhaps because the character is nasty and brutish as well. . . .” Cadden welcomes disagreement with his readings of particular characters (I myself think he is somewhat unfair to Junie B. and Ramona), but hopes that readers will “find the framework, the idea of rhetorical modulation, useful.” At Arm’s Length presents its central device of the dial of character modulation so persuasively and enjoyably that readers will find their fingers twitching to spin it themselves into a host of fruitful discussions of how we understand character in children’s and young adult literature.","PeriodicalId":40856,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Literature Association Quarterly","volume":"46 1","pages":"435 - 437"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44589658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
