Text 4A1-II
You know a nun when you see one. The uniform, known
as a habit, is a dead giveaway. But the outfit you’re picturing in
your head might look very different from the one worn by the
sisters at your local convent. And yet, each ensemble’s meaning
is immediately clear. That’s because nuns abide by a sartorial
system that is at once endlessly adaptable and instantly
recognizable.
That’s an impressive feat for any visual system. In the
case of nuns’ habits, that system relies on a standardized
combination of symbolic elements. “It’s really a kit of parts”,
says Lucienne Roberts, cofounder of a British publishing house
devoted to design’s more esoteric subjects. For their latest book,
Looking Good: A Visual Guide to the Nun’s Habit, Roberts
worked with her team to dissect the dress of nuns from some
40 Catholic orders. The result is a fascinating work of reference
on a subject to which you've almost certainly never paid much
mind.
The book begins by cataloguing the various components
that typically comprise a nun's habit. These may include things
like veils, rosaries, tunics, medals, coifs (the cap worn under the
veil), and sandals. It's a collection from which each religious
order draws some, but not all, of its impeccable elements. This
section provides the reader with a visual framework which relies
on simple cues to distinguish between religious families.
For instance, many orders of nuns wear some form of
girdle, be it a belt, a cord, or a cincture. Each type and subtype of
garment carries specific connotations. Franciscan nuns, for
instance, favor a cord over a leather belt, to reflect their order's
devotion to poverty. Its four knots, plainly visible in the book as
an illustration of the Franciscan garb, represent the order's vows
of chastity, poverty, obedience, and enclosure.
These are the kinds of minutiae encoded in the book's
pages, which the authors color code to differentiate between the
various orders. Even the nuns' orientation on the page is
significant; some face towards the reader, while others face
away. This is to distinguish between sisterhoods that are active in
their communities from ones that live cloistered lives,
respectively. The book itself, like the habits it analyzes, is a form
of information design.

A Mayor on Easter Island Is Up in Arms After a
Runaway Pickup Truck Knocked Over a Sacred
Statue
(1º§)Archaeologists have long assumed that the ancient
society that erected the colossal Moai figures on Chile's
Rapa Nui, better known as Easter Island, collapsed many
centuries ago. Now, a new study indicates that the
islanders' civilization was still going strong when
Europeans arrived in 1722.
(2º§)The island was settled in the 13th century by
Polynesians, and is known __ the famed Easter Island
"heads" (many of the bodies have been buried by erosion
over the centuries).
(3º§)The research, which appears in the Journal of
Archaeological Science, contests the accepted timeline
that the Easter Island society was already in decline by
the year 1600 and its massive stone statues left to fall
into disrepair.
(4º§)Conducting radiocarbon dating on 11 sites __ Easter
Island, the authors determined the timeline of each
monument's construction. Their findings indicate that
Easter Islanders were still actively building new Moai
figures, and maintaining existing ones, up until at least
1750.s of fresh water-a precious resource. As well as
moments to their ancestors, it turns out they may have
also served a more utilitarian purpose.
(5º§)Further supporting these results are historical
documents __ the island's first European visitors. Written
accounts from the Dutch explorers who arrived in 1722
found that the monuments were in active ritual use, with
no signs of decline, and the same goes for the Spaniards
who landed in 1770. It was only in 1774 that James Cook
found the giant statues in ruins and the figures knocked
over.
(6º§)"The way we interpret our results and this sequence
of historical accounts is that the notion of a pre-European
collapse of monument construction is no longer
supported," lead author Robert DiNapoli told Archaeology
& Arts.
(7º§)"Once Europeans arrive on the island, there are
many documented tragic events due to disease, murder,
slave raiding and other conflicts," added co-author Carl
Lipo. "The degree to which [the Rapa Nui people's]
cultural heritage was passed on-and is still present today
through language, arts, and cultural practices-is quite
notable and impressive. I think this degree of resilience
has been overlooked due to the collapse narrative and
deserves recognition."

Activities for raising awareness of diversity
Our first goal as language teachers is always to encourage our
learners to make use of their developing language. Giving them a
genuine communicative purpose and making it personal to them
are two good ways of achieving this. For students beginning their
journey to greater self-awareness, teachers could devise an
inventory of learning skills for them to rate themselves on. This
could include items such as ‘I keep my notes in order’, ‘I always
make a note of homework and the date it should be done’ or
whatever is appropriate to their level. Students could rate
themselves privately, but then discuss with other students which
ones they find most challenging, exchanging tips about how they
could improve these aspects of learning. From these discussions,
it will probably become clear that some students have already
got good study strategies in place, even if some of them seem a
little unusual. Revisiting the checklist later in the course helps
learners to reflect on how they have improved and what they still
need to work on. […]
Making use of materials that include a diverse range of
characters is another great way of initiating discussion and raising
awareness of the issues. There may be no explicit mention made
in the text of this diversity, thereby sending the implicit message
that this is just how the world is. Students may see characters
that they can relate to more easily, and feel more included
generally. Other materials, such as the ‘Adventures on Inkling
Island’ comic strips, explicitly showcase the daily challenges and
talents of neurodiverse people, demonstrating that being
different can be a strength in some situations.
A powerful way of enabling people to understand how it
might feel to be in the minority on a daily basis, whether in terms
of physical abilities or cognitive function, is to set up experiential
activities which challenge the participants to perform unusual
tasks in conditions that make their usual way of working
impossible. As well as being a fun way of introducing the topic for
further discussion, these activities are usually very memorable
and drive home the message that – in the vast majority of cases –
lack of success in academic tasks is not due to laziness or
stupidity.
