Drawing on original interviews with improvising musicians, on critical pedagogy and cultural studies, and on the authors' personal histories with improvised music as a form of activism, community-based pedagogy, Jamming the Classroom examines how the teaching and learning of improvisational musical practices can be understood as vital and publicly resonant acts that generate new forms of knowledge, new understandings of identity and community, and new imaginative possibilities. The book takes its cue not just from the learning in conventional classrooms and credentialing institutions but also from the work that happens in and through broader communities of practice. Heble and Stewart ask how the improvisational practices of artists and the internal educational endeavors within community groups model-and enact-new forms of community-making and critical thinking, as well as what it means to theorize the pedagogy of improvised music in relation to public programs of action, debate, and critical practice and the context of material practices and struggles for institutional authority.

Cuentos y Tradiciones de Pijal es una recopilación de narraciones de la comunidad de Pijal, Ecuador. Este libro es el primer manuscrito publicado en media lengua, un idioma mixto hablado en la sierra Ecuatoriana. Lo que hace a la media lengua tan única es su génesis. La media lengua tiene una ascendencia dividida donde casi todas (90%) las raíces (sustantivos, verbos, adjetivos, adverbios, pronombres, demostrativos, etc.) del español han sustituido a sus contrapartes del kichwa, mientras que la media lengua mantiene los morfemas, la gramática y la pronunciación del kichwa. Se incorporaron traducciones en español e inglés.Stories and traditions from Pijal is a collection of narrations from the community of Pijal, Ecuador. This is the first published document in Media Lengua, a rare mixed language spoken in the Ecuadorian highlands. What makes this language so unique is its genesis. ML has a split ancestry where nearly all (90%) root words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, demonstratives etc.) from Spanish have replaced their Quichua counterparts while maintaining Quichua morphemes, grammar and pronunciation. Translations in English and Spanish are provided.
