Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A timely examination of the use of emerging technologies in the arts in recent decades. This book explores the notion of embodied experience from the first wave of virtual reality through the current use of mixed, augmented, and extended realities. It highlights the necessity of understanding technological experiences through the assumption that all experience is embodied. Access to new technological tools has given way to an explosion of digital culture and experience, allowing artists and creative practitioners new ways of exploring a hybridization of creative practices. While individual aspects and themes covered here can be found in some recent books, few place digital embodiment within the arts in the way this book does. This unique synthesis first analyzes embodied experience through a study of space and virtuality, imagination, and technology. It next lays the groundwork for a more explicit understanding of the role of the body in our engagement with digital technologies, focusing on three distinct bodies: the gravitational body, the virtual body, and the hybrid body. The final section is a chronological exploration of the technological developments of virtual reality, virtual worlds, and augmented, mixed, and extended realities.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An introduction to pedagogy of dissensus. A pedagogy of dissensus is informed by the dissensual characteristics of art. The book includes both theoretical foundations and examples of how the theory is unfolded in different contexts ranging from educational practice to arts-based research. Motivated by the author's long-held interest in the role of art in society in general and education in particular, it is a vital new contribution to arts-based approaches to education. Referencing philosophers and theorists such as Jacques Rancière, Gert Biesta, Dennis Atkinson, and Helga Eng, Lisbet Skregelid demonstrates why art matters because of its ability to create necessary disturbance and resistance in education. In this book, she argues that art has something to offer education because it challenges existing norms, has no definitive answers, and contributes to new ways of seeing both oneself, others, and one's surroundings. Placing art at the center and enabling dissensus in education can contribute as a contrast to the dominating policy led by economic ambition and competition.

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 the 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.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Explores the intricate world-building of El Vez's performances and how they enable audiences to imagine a more socially just society. El Vez, also known as the Mexican Elvis, presents a powerful message of social justice and inclusion in his performances. Make the Dream Real interrogates how this message is activated through world-building: the use of a variety of theoretical, theatrical, and musical tactics that bring into being a progressive social space that refutes the current economic, political, social, and cultural configurations of the United States. World-building in an El Vez show immerses the audience in a social space in which equal rights are guaranteed, inclusivity is fostered, difference is valued, and the violence of economic inequality is mitigated. Using a dramaturgical methodology that marries critical inquiry with theatrical practice, the book delves into the theoretical foundations that inform artist Robert Lopez's work, and each chapter analyzes a different performative component he uses. Make the Dream Real interrogates how El Vez's playful engagements hold the United States to its egalitarian promises, voicing and enacting--however fleetingly--a just and richly inclusive social space through performance.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A hands-on guide for artists, students, and teachers of devised theater, at any stage of their practice. This book is packed with thoughtful exercises distilled from twenty-five years of interdisciplinary artist workshops and teaching devising and performance making at universities in the United States and the United Kingdom. Created and curated by Leslie Hill and Helen Paris, artists who work internationally at the interface of academia and professional practice, this collection provides exercises for devising, composing, and editing original works. The exercises are clear and accessible, enhanced with vivid examples from contemporary performance practice and relevant political contexts. Moreover, the authors offer tools for giving and receiving feedback, fostering critical reflection, and framing artistic work within academic research contexts. Hill and Paris's compelling approach does more than merely provide performance recipes; it highlights the vital cultural relevance and potential personal impact of the creative explorations that the authors invite us to undertake.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An experimental exploration of writing, creativity, and knowledge-making through the radical act of cutting up books. Over six months, Ania Malinowska dismantled over four hundred books, reframing their content into 111 poetic epigrams and combining conscious methodical experimentation with the spontaneity of automatic writing. Blending theory, practice, and art, her new book champions this practice of 'textrapolation,' framing it as a method of critical composition that uses destruction as a form of discovery. At once a manifesto and a manual, Cutting Up Books addresses the crisis of creativity in academic and cultural practices while responding to contemporary challenges, including crises in education and perceived threats posed by large language models. Drawing on traditions of the cut-up, collage, and automatic writing, the book turns the materiality of text into a thinking tool, showing how breaking and reassembling language can generate new modes of understanding. Thematically, it connects literary experimentation with philosophy, media theory, and the crisis of creativity in the age of artificial intelligence. It reconsiders authorship, education, and the function of books in a culture increasingly defined by templates, automation, and cognitive fatigue.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the mid-1980s, film director Marco Bellocchio and renegade psychoanalyst Massimo Fagioli cowrote The Devil in the Flesh, a politically and sexually charged film illustrating some of Fagioli's controversial theories. Echoing the anti-Lacanian sentiment popularized by Gilles Deleuze, the film is perhaps best remembered for a scene in which the character Andrea misreads a section of the famous Greek tragedy Antigone. But this scene has itself been frequently misread, opening up the text to questions of feminism, politics, and the representation of Antigone--a figure frequently used and abused in feminist politics. Displaying considerable analytic depth, Misreading Postmodern Antigone considers these divergent readings and what they have to tell us about contemporary society.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book presents a close look at the vestiges of twentieth-century medical work at five key sites in Africa: Senegal, Nigeria, Cameroon, Kenya, and Tanzania. The authors aim to understand the afterlife of scientific institutions and practices and the 'aftertime' of scientific modernity and its attendant visions of progress and transformation. Straightforward scholarly work is juxtaposed here with altogether more experimental approaches to fieldwork and analysis, including interview fragments; brief, reflective essays; and a rich photographic archive. The result is an unprecedented view of the lingering traces of medical science from Africa's past.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume showcases some of the best research published in the Studies in Comics journal. Comics have always embraced a diversity of formats, existing in complex relationships with other media, and have been dynamic in their response to new technologies and means of distribution. This collection explores interactions between comics and other media and technologies, employing a wide range of theoretical and critical perspectives. By focusing on key critical concepts within multimodality (transmediality, adaptation, intertextuality) and addressing multiple platforms and media (digital, analog, music, prose, linguistics, graphics), this collection expands and develops existing comics theory and addresses multiple other media and disciplines. This volume demonstrates the evolution of comics studies over the last decade and shows how this research field has engaged with various media and technologies in a continuously evolving, multimodal artistic and production environment.

Featuring rich illustrations and informative case studies from around the world, Art, Community and Environment addresses the growing interest in this fascinating discipline.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book offers global perspectives on art education as a distinctive practice that emerges from community relationships. Invoking transversality as a theoretical framework and a methodological structure, the fifty-five contributors to this volume--community professionals, scholars, artists, educators, and activists from sixteen countries--offer studies and practical examples that explore the complexities of community arts education at all levels. These complexities include challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic; ongoing efforts to achieve justice for Indigenous peoples; immigration; the growing recognition of equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace; among other challenges. The book's chapters fall under four themes--connections, practices, spaces, and relations--that map these and other intersecting assemblages of transversality. Thinking transversally about community art education shifts our understanding of knowledge from a passive construct to an active component of social life. This framework also redefines art education as a distinctive practice emerging from the intricate ties that form a community.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Cultural politics in women's performance art. This book uses the work of British live artist and Showwoman Marisa Carnesky to showcase women working in radical ways. The term 'Showwoman' introduces a new identity--a performer who does not control or exploit others but opens up a possibility for collaboration that enables shared experience. As Obsessions of a Showwoman explores this concept, it traces a trajectory of incredible and weird women at work, including showgirls, hairhangers, fire walkers, animal mesmerists, and more. Carnesky has been a central figure in performance and live art in the last thirty years, and her practice as a Showwoman promotes alternative visions of matriarchal entertainment utopias and a new relationship to women's position in power and politics. Carnesky continues an important lineage of performing women with bombastic theatrical flair whose extraordinary skill and artistry are often overlooked. Exploring contemporary and historical performance in popular and marginal entertainment forms, this work treads the margins of cabaret and live art, disrupts normative ideologies through the spectacular, and opens new lines of feminist inquiry through weirdness, absurdity, and provocation in live art and popular culture.

Taschenbuch. 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, psychotherapists, 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.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An exploration of the many issues and debates that surround the idea of luxury. The idea of luxury has secured a place in contemporary Western culture and the term has now joined common parlance in both established and emerging economies. Crafting Luxury explores contentious issues surrounding perceptions of luxury, its relationship to contemporary branding as created by marketers, and the effect this has on consumers and their purchasing habits. It examines the industry structures, analyzing production practices as well as the effects of hierarchies on both internal and external perceptions of luxury, from the makers to the sellers and consumers. Offering different perspectives and interpretations of luxury, the authors dissect the work of companies across the industry, from established companies to emerging models and from conglomerates to small independents. They further explore the impact of technology on consumption, manufacture, the retail environment, and sales, providing a true insider's view of this complex world.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This collection explores repair as a vital and varied practice across postcolonial Africa, not only as a response to breakage, but as a way of making life hold amid shifting material, political, and historical conditions. Repair across Africa is the first edited collection to focus specifically on repair in African contexts, bringing together a diverse group of scholars and practitioners from anthropology, geography, musicology, architecture, history, and critical urban studies. Moving beyond a narrow understanding of repair as merely fixing broken things, this volume explores it as a relational practice that bridges past and present, and connects the material with the social, economic, and spiritual. The essays investigate the role of repair in mitigating the wear and tear of time, addressing environmental disasters, engaging with colonial and postcolonial histories and their impact on urban transformation, and highlighting the artisanal skill and ingenuity behind these practices. The contributors illuminate how repair becomes a vital practice of resistance, care, and adaptation in a rapidly changing world, while also acknowledging the material and economic pressures that often make it necessary and sometimes hazardous. By situating repair within broader critiques of late capitalism and colonialism, and through its multidisciplinary approach, this book opens new conversations in material culture, heritage, urban life, and historical politics. It is poised to become a key reference in African studies and beyond.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The degree to which Cognitive Science can aspire to be the Science of the Mind is an ongoing debate. This highly influential book, published as a Second Edition, proposes a new approach to issues of the mind and of consciousness, drawing together themes from Philosophy right through to Artificial Intelligence. > > The two strands are woven together into a new theory of cognition and its development, and the author concludes that a science that fully attempts to treat cognition must remain au fait with the findings from all other approaches to the study of the mind, from the purely behaviourist to the purely experiential. As the Second Edition is published, The Search for Mind is unquestionably among the most acclaimed accounts of the area written by a single author.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An exploration of the multidisciplinary creative culture encapsulated by the term industrial art, which spans musical, visual, multimedia, and performance arts. Industrial music appeared in the mid-1970s, and far from being a simple sound experimentation phenomenon, it quickly spawned a coherent visual culture operating at the intersection of a multitude of media (collage, mail art, installation, film, performance, sound, and video), and initiated a close inspection of the legacy of modernity and the growing pervasive influence of technology. Deriving their sources from the modernist utopias of the first part of the twentieth century, the sound experiments conducted by industrial bands, including designing synthesizers and transforming recorded sounds from audio tapes either recycled or laid down by the artists, were backed up by a rich array of radical visual productions. Such saturated sounds were translated into abrasive images, manipulated through the détournement of reprographic techniques (Xerox art), that investigated polemical themes: mind control, criminality, occultism, pornography, psychiatry, and totalitarianism, among others. This book aims to introduce the visual and aesthetic elements of industrial culture to a general history of contemporary art by analyzing the different approaches taken and topics addressed by the movement and the artists who perceptively anticipated the current discourse concerning the media and its collective coercive power.
