Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book critically analyses historical and contemporary discourses around worklessness, economic inactivity and the factors that contribute to people withdrawing from the conventional labour market. In analysing popular portrayals of 'the workless', the book draws heavily on the sociologica…l theories of stigma and symbolic annihilation, and conceives of the contemporary narrative about the UK's 'crisis' in economic inactivity as the latest in a continuum of periodic moral panics about worklessness. A key argument is that neoliberal definitions of 'work' and 'worklessness' are too narrow, and deny - and render invisible - the importance of various forms of unpaid labour performed by many people classified as 'inactive', notably informal caregiving and volunteering. Methodologically, it combines analysis of historical and contemporary media and political narratives around 'worklessness' and factors that limit individuals' capacity for conventional paid work - from disability and long-term illness to caring responsibilities - with interviews with people who have lived experience of 'economic inactivity'. The scope of analysis encompasses critical discourse analysis of print and online newspaper articles from across the UK national and regional press; 'below-the-line' comments posted by audience-members beneath articles; and verbatim records of debates and speeches focusing on economic inactivity in the UK Parliament. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 individuals classified as economically inactive. These were subjected to thematic analysis. Contrasting popular narratives with the lived experiences of 'inactive' people, it questions the validity of dominant stereotypes and the wider efficacy of policies designed to address 'worklessness'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A practical guide to art-based research. Art-based research uses artmaking as a primary mode of inquiry and presents art as evidence. While sharing many qualities with scientific inquiry, it is distinguished by the unique character and personal dimensions of each artwork. Artistic intelligenc…e is a gestating, unpredictable, and often challenging crucible of creation that furthers discovery ahead of conscious thought. Rather than treating art as data to be analyzed by social science procedures, this guide lets art speak for itself, offering empirical evidence of artmaking's contributions to human understanding.Art Is the Evidence emphasizes how methods emerge, sometimes unplanned, from the art-based research process rather than from following fixed and preexisting institutionally approved methods. The book explores how to work creatively within prescribed structures and embrace tensions with them as sources of artistic transformation. It explores the role of video and digital media in generating convincing art evidence, universal accessibility involving trained and untrained artists, and the future importance of natural art experiments happening throughout the world beyond academic and professional settings.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This introduction to a challenging contemporary composer delves into the theory and philosophy of repetition. The work of Austrian composer Bernhard Lang eludes easy categorization. While rooted simultaneously in DJ culture, free jazz, pop culture, and the Austro-European new music scene, his… oeuvre explicitly foregrounds repetition. He is, in his own words, a 'repeat offender.' Bernhard Lang serves as a critical guide to the composer's music and traces the phenomenon of repetition throughout his oeuvre. To examine Lang's repetitive aesthetics, Christine Dysers employs various philosophical methods, such as Gilles Deleuze's differential ontology. Fusing critical musicology, aesthetic theory, poststructuralist thought, and music analysis, Bernhard Lang brings fresh insight to the work of an award-winning contemporary composer.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A cross-Canada journey into the studios of contemporary artists, revealing the studio as a vital window onto the thinking, learning, and creative processes shaping art today. Drawing on over one hundred studio visits and interviews with painters, this book offers a compelling exploration of t…he artist's studio--not as a static workspace, but as a dynamic, relational, and generative site of learning, thinking, and becoming. Alison Shields shows that the studio can be understood in four interwoven ways: as place, as process, as material thinking, and as dialogue with the world. As a place, it is where one dwells within subjective time and space, part of an active and interconnected ecosystem that, through artmaking, can transport us elsewhere. As a process, it is emergent, performative, generative, and always in a state of 'not knowing'. As material thinking, it bridges mind and matter, thought and feeling, allowing intuition to roam within embodied and often messy environments. As dialogue with the world, it is relational, imaginative, and responsive to the ongoing texture of lived experience. Rather than offering definitive conclusions, the book unfolds through a series of speculative propositions--drawn from the words and reflections of artists themselves--that illuminate the open-ended nature of creative processes. It invites not only artists but anyone curious about how we make, feel, and know to engage with the studio as a site of infinite possibility within an ever-changing ecology of practice.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A groundbreaking international collection that redefines drawing as a powerful tool for thinking, feeling, and connecting across disciplines, cultures, and experiences. Bringing together essays by researchers, scholars, and artists from nine countries, including teachers, architects, psychotherapist…s, museum educators, and curators, this book draws on each contributor's unique position and practice to showcase diverse perspectives on the collaborative and interpretive power of drawing. The collection unfolds as a journey through the many forms and functions of drawing, exploring practices as varied as mapping a daily route, marking territory, expressing personal experience, diagramming problems through arrows and lines, creating comics, or imagining abstract boundaries of power. These diverse approaches invite readers to reconsider what drawing is and what it can do. Whether capturing lived experience, conveying emotion, constructing knowledge, or challenging systems of authority, the contributions reveal drawing's unique capacity to generate meaning beyond words. Through engaging and compelling case studies, the book encourages both scholars and practitioners to see drawing as a tool for empathy, critical inquiry, and alternative ways of knowing--especially when navigating what lies beyond the limits of our own perspectives.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A reflection on the dynamic interplay between spatial experience and its representations in cinema and photography. Space in the Image focuses on cinematic and photographic portrayals of the built environment, from individual buildings to entire cities. It addresses a timely and relevant topic, refl…ecting the prominence of urbanization and the widespread use of digital audiovisual media in architecture, planning, and design. Bringing together scholars and practitioners working at the intersection of architecture, urbanism, and digital media, the volume engages with both contemporary practice and current debates in the field.In light of the growing ubiquity of media platforms and the immediacy of digital representation, the contributors critically examine the evolving relationship between spatial experience and its mediated forms. These inquiries are situated within the broader context of accelerating urbanization, making the book timely for architects, urban designers, planners, and media theorists alike. Rather than treating images as static records of the past, the volume interrogates their role as active participants in shaping contemporary urban life, identity, and memory.

Responsive to the urgent need to engage in sustained dialogue about digital futures, this book offers fresh insights into how we might understand - and rethink - digital wellbeing, social media addiction, and the growing demand for a right to disconnect.
