The study of career development among unemployed people is vital for effective institutional responses. This integrative review based on Torraco's protocol fills a literature gap by synthesizing research on interventions for this population. Seven keywords, five databases, and six eligibility criteria were defined. Among 324 articles, 36 were reviewed. Findings highlight diverse counseling modalities, emphasizing group interventions and remote delivery. Tailored approaches, including length, frequency, and social-emotional and career dimensions, are crucial. Practical recommendations emphasize comprehensive, psychological support, goal-oriented counseling, and postintervention assistance. These insights underscore vocational psychology's importance in addressing unemployment, impacting government policies, career services, and psychologists. 相似文献
This qualitative study explored the relationship between creativity, time, age, and the literary world among 16 award-winning Israeli writers in the second half of their lives. Based on data collected through in-depth interviews with the participants, the findings indicate that the writers' creativity in the second half of life was linked to Preservation, Growth, and Decline, leading to four interrelated dimensions: (a) preserving youth through creativity, (b) enhancing creativity over time, (c) navigating creativity, acclaim, and ageism, and (d) managing creativity amidst a changing world. The study found that the writers' creativity was enhanced over time, as they gained experience and developed their skills. However, some writers experienced a decline in stamina or their ability to write long novels. The study also found that the writers' experiences of acceptance from the literary world and the audience changed over time. Some writers continued to receive acclaim and attention, while others experienced ageism and a decline in the audience's interest in their work. 相似文献
This installment of Dialog's Theology in Film and Fiction series introduces the first Cape Verdean novel, The Slave, by José Evaristo d'Almeida (1856). This vivid story depicts a number of social and moral issues tied together within the tragic plot of the novel. The article discusses the historical relationship of the Roman Catholic Church to slavery, the colonial history of Portugal and Cape Verde, and the theological use of the Bible in this history. This discussion is applied to Almeida's novel, revealing the manifold nineteenth‐century varieties of the literary history and theology of colonialism. 相似文献
A Guest for the Night, one of Agnon’s greatest novels, has long been considered to have dealt with the demise of Jewish Eastern Europe, Zionism and the art of the novel. This article offers a different reading, showing Agnon’s novel as a radical work that may have greatly exceeded its author’s intentions. Focusing on the irony directed at the novel’s narrator, I claim that A Guest for the Night calls on its readers to reconsider common premises regarding the history and politics of Eretz Israel/Palestine. 相似文献
Children’s literature was first published in the eighteenth century at a time when the philosophical ideas of Jean-Jacques
Rousseau on education and childhood were being discussed. Ironically, however, the first generation of children’s literature
(by Maria Edgeworth et al) was incongruous with Rousseau’s ideas since the works were didactic, constraining and demanded passive acceptance from their
readers. This instigated a deficit or reductionist model to represent childhood and children’s literature as simple and uncomplicated
and led to children’s literature being overlooked and its contribution to philosophical discussions being undermined. Although
Rousseau advocates freeing the child to develop, he does not feel that reading fiction promotes child development, which is
a weakness in an otherwise strong argument for educational reform. Yet, rather ironically, the second generation of children’s
writers, from Lewis Carroll onwards, more truly embraced Rousseau’s broader philosophical ideas on education and childhood
than their predecessors, encouraging and freeing readers to imagine, reflect and actively engage in ontological enquiry. The
emphasis had changed with the child being embraced in education and society as active participant rather than passive or disengaged
recipient. Works deemed to be seminal to the canon of children’s literature such as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Peter Pan and The Chronicles of Narnia challenge readers to work through conflicts many of which can be identified retrospectively as exhibiting postmodern characteristics.
By exploring moral and spiritual dilemmas in their writing, Carroll, Barrie and Lewis’s works can be regarded as contributing
to discussions on theodical postmodernism. The successes of The Lord of the Rings and Narnia films suggest that there is an interest in exploring moral dilemmas, fulfilling a need (perhaps for tolerance
and understanding) in society at large. Children’s literature has an almost divine power to restore, to repair and to heal,
all characteristics of theodical postmodernism but differing from the more widely held conception of postmodernism which pulls
apart, exacerbates and exposes. Children’s literature therefore offers a healthy and constructive approach to working through
moral dilemmas. In their deconstruction of childhood, these authors have brought children’s literature closer to aspects of
enquiry traditionally found in the domain of adult mainstream literature. As the boundaries between childhood and adulthood
become more fluid, less certain, debate is centring around whether the canon of children’s literature itself has become redundant
or meaningless since there are no longer any restrictions on which subjects can be treated in children’s literature. Despite
the fact that children’s literature clearly engages with difficult issues, it continues to be left out of the critical equation,
not given serious attention, disregarded as simplistic and ignored in contemporary philosophical discussions concerning morality,
postmodernism and the future of childhood. With children’s literature coming closer to mainstream literature, and exhibiting
prominent features of postmodernism, however, it is only a matter of time before philosophical discussions actively engage
with children’s literature and recognise its contribution to the resolution and reconciliation of ontological dilemmas. When
this occurs, philosophy and children’s literature will re-engage, enriching contemporary investigations of existence, ethics
and knowledge and fruitfully developing thought in these areas. This paper aims to contribute to this process.
