The British Folk Revival - A Second Edition (Paperback, 2nd edition): Michael Brocken The British Folk Revival - A Second Edition (Paperback, 2nd edition)
Michael Brocken
R1,131 Discovery Miles 11 310 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Almost 20 years ago Michael Brocken created from his doctoral research, what became both a seminal and contested volume concerning the social mores surrounding the British Folk Revival up to that point in time: The British Folk Revival 1944-2002. In this long-overdue second edition he revisits not only his own research, but also that of others from the 1990s and early 21st century. He then considers how a discourse of folkloric authenticity emerged in the closing years of the 19th century and how a worrying nationalistic immanence came to surround folk music and dance during the inter-war years. Brocken also proposes that the media: records, radio and TV in post-WWII folk revivalism can offer us important insights into how self-directed learning of the folk guitar emerged. Brocken moves on to consider the business structures of the contemporary folk scene and how relationships are formed between contemporary folk business and the digital and social media spheres. In his penultimate chapter he discusses the masculinisation of folk traditions and asks important questions about how our folk traditions are carried and are authorised. In the final chapter he also considers the rise of an exciting new folk live music built environment.

Radical Journalism - Resurgence, Reform, Reaction (Paperback): Seamus Farrell, Eugenia. Siapera, George Souvlis Radical Journalism - Resurgence, Reform, Reaction (Paperback)
Seamus Farrell, Eugenia. Siapera, George Souvlis
R1,090 Discovery Miles 10 900 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This edited volume offers a state-of-the-art synthesis of the historical role of radical journalism, its present iterations, and plans for the future of a journalism that is committed to liberatory movements and politics. At a time of profound crisis and stagnation for mainstream journalism, radical journalism seems to be riding a wave. New outlets, including those – like Jacobin – with a global reach, have sprung up, presenting a new generation of unapologetically progressive publications with an emancipatory agenda. Understanding the role and place of radical journalism becomes even more urgent given the current political climate in a (post) pandemic world with heightened inequalities and intensified pauperisation. Drawing on contributions from leading academics, this collection considers: • How new outlets fit in the genealogy of (radical) journalism and what their flourishing can tell us about the present and future of emancipatory politics and the role of the radical journalist; • What these new forms and publications mean for mainstream journalism and its persisting problems of financial sustainability and professional journalistic labour; • Important challenges presented by, for example, the resurgence of fascism, authoritarianism and the mainstreaming of the far right; • Essential questions of what radical journalism looks like today, what forms it takes or should take, and what its future might be. Radical Journalism is recommended reading for advanced students and journalists working at the intersection of journalism, politics, and sociology.

Rival Sisters, Art and Music at the Birth of Modernism, 1815-1915 (Hardcover, New edition): James H. Rubin Rival Sisters, Art and Music at the Birth of Modernism, 1815-1915 (Hardcover, New edition)
James H. Rubin
R3,965 Discovery Miles 39 650 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Introducing the concept of music and painting as 'rival sisters' during the nineteenth century, this interdisciplinary collection explores the productive exchange-from rivalry to inspiration to collaboration-between the two media in the age of Romanticism and Modernism. The volume traces the relationship between art and music, from the opposing claims for superiority of the early nineteenth century, to the emergence of the concept of synesthesia around 1900. This collection puts forward a more complex history of the relationship between art and music than has been described in earlier works, including an intermixing of models and distinctions between approaches to them. Individual essays from art history, musicology, and literature examine the growing influence of art upon music, and vice versa, in the works of Berlioz, Courbet, Manet, Fantin-Latour, Rodin, Debussy, and the Pre-Raphaelites, among other artists.

R3,941 Discovery Miles 39 410 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Review: ...a strong and engaged spectrum of essays by leading scholars that reflects the range and depth of Caravaggio scholarship today. It constitutes a milestone contribution to our understanding of this artist and his complex historical reception, as well as the range of approaches currently at work in the study of early modern European art.'- Genevieve Warwick, University of Edinburgh and Editor, Art History'This is a distinguished collection of original essays by well-established scholars of Italian Baroque art and Caravaggio in particular. It is remarkable for the diversity of questions asked and methodological resources deployed in answering them. Such is the sureness of scholarship that underpins each essay, however, that there is little to no contradiction among them. Each essay contributes to a fuller understanding of Caravaggio that is greater than the sum of its excellent parts.' - Charles DempseyProfessor of Italian Renaissance and Baroque Art EmeritusThe Johns Hopkins University.

Youth, Arts, and Education - Reassembling Subjectivity through Affect (Paperback): Anna Hickey-moody Youth, Arts, and Education - Reassembling Subjectivity through Affect (Paperback)
Anna Hickey-moody
R1,613 Discovery Miles 16 130 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

How are the arts important in young people s lives? Youth, Arts and Education offers a groundbreaking theory of arts education. Anna Hickey-Moody explores how the arts are ways of belonging, resisting, being governed and being heard.

Through examples from the United Kingdom and Australia, Anna Hickey-Moody shows the cultural significance of the kinds of learning that occur in and through arts. Drawing on the thought of Gilles Deleuze, she develops the theory of affective pedagogy, which explains the process of learning that happens through aesthetics.

Bridging divides between critical pedagogical theory, youth studies and arts education scholarship, this book:

  • Explains the cultural significance of the kinds of learning that occur in and through arts
  • Advances a theory of aesthetic citizenship created by youth arts
  • Demonstrates ways in which arts practices are forms popular and public pedagogy
  • Critiques popular ideas that art can be used to fix problems in the lives of youth at risk

Youth, Arts and Education is the first post-critical theory of arts education. It will be of interest to students and scholars across the social sciences and humanities, in particular in the sociology of education, arts education, youth studies, sociology of the arts and cultural studies."

Iron, Ornament and Architecture in Victorian Britain - Myth and Modernity, Excess and Enchantment (Hardcover, New Ed): Paul... Iron, Ornament and Architecture in Victorian Britain - Myth and Modernity, Excess and Enchantment (Hardcover, New Ed)
Paul Dobraszczyk
R3,951 Discovery Miles 39 510 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Vilified by leading architectural modernists and Victorian critics alike, mass-produced architectural ornament in iron has received little sustained study since the 1960s; yet it proliferated in Britain in the half century after the building of the Crystal Palace in 1851 - a time when some architects, engineers, manufacturers, and theorists believed that the fusion of iron and ornament would reconcile art and technology and create a new, modern architectural language. Comprehensively illustrated and richly researched, Iron, Ornament and Architecture in Victorian Britain presents the most sustained study to date of the development of mechanised architectural ornament in iron in nineteenth-century architecture, its reception and theorisation by architects, critics and engineers, and the contexts in which it flourished, including industrial buildings, retail and seaside architecture, railway stations, buildings for export and exhibition, and street furniture. Appealing to architects, conservationists, historians and students of nineteenth-century visual culture and the built environment, this book offers new ways of understanding the notion of modernity in Victorian architecture by questioning and re-evaluating both Victorian and modernist understandings of the ideological split between historicism and functionalism, and ornament and structure.

Spells out multiple aspects of the concept of improvisation, emphasizing its relevance in understanding the nature of art. Covers improvisation in a wide spectrum of artistic domains, including unexpected ones such as literature, visual arts, games, and cooking. Addresses key questions, such as: - How can improvisation be defined and what is its role in different art forms? - Can improvisation be perceived as such, and how can it be aesthetically evaluated? - What is the relationship between improvisation and notions such as action, composition, expressivity, and authenticity? - What is the ethical and political significance of improvisation?

Cultural Management - A Research Overview (Hardcover): Chris Bilton Cultural Management - A Research Overview (Hardcover)
Chris Bilton
R1,369 Discovery Miles 13 690 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This shortform book tells the research story of cultural management, helping scholars to analyse and combine theoretical models into an approach of their own. Cultural management emerged and developed out of the field of arts management in the 1980s, which imported managerial techniques and assumptions from mainstream commercial business into the arts. In the late 1990s, the field integrated entrepreneurial approaches to management in the creative industries before adapting to a new model, based on user experiences and co-creation. These historical phases are theorised respectively as cultural management 1.0, cultural management 2.0 and cultural management 3.0. Yet they also overlap. Bringing together theories of management and creativity, this book enables scholars to get a grip on the underlying assumptions and conditions which lie behind an eclectic and evolving field. The author, an established expert in this field, empowers scholars and reflective practitioners to develop their own approach to cultural management, drawing on the available approaches, and to recognise that successful cultural management is contingent on understanding the context (organisational and personal) within which these models will be applied.

Rethinking Cultural Centers - A Nordic Perspective on Multipurpose Cultural Organizations (Hardcover): Tomas Jarvinen Rethinking Cultural Centers - A Nordic Perspective on Multipurpose Cultural Organizations (Hardcover)
Tomas Jarvinen
R1,369 Discovery Miles 13 690 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

What are cultural centres for? This book offers a unique and dynamic guide to managing these organizations, and the challenge of reconciling cultural aims with business success. Drawing on research and practice, it provides case-based insights into common managerial problems and their solutions. Although international research demonstrates that culture has positive economic impact and many cultural institutions are multi-million dollar institutions, there has been little research on how cultural centres are managed to combine cultural and economic impact. Due to the diversity of their missions and purpose, cultural centres in Europe often struggle to find business success. By drawing on recent cases from Finland and Sweden, and focusing on the challenges which face both managers and organizations, this book explores the incentives which underpin the foundation of cultural centres, and what is needed to make them a success, By defining the complex challenges which face cultural centres, this book enables managers to move beyond administrating an organization to becoming cultural entrepreneurs, turning good ideas into good business. In this under-researched area, this book will be essential reading for researchers, policy makers and managers working in cultural centers and museum management.

Textile in Architecture - From the Middle Ages to Modernism (Paperback): Didem Ekici, Patricia Blessing, Basile Baudez Textile in Architecture - From the Middle Ages to Modernism (Paperback)
Didem Ekici, Patricia Blessing, Basile Baudez
R1,160 Discovery Miles 11 600 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This book investigates the interconnections between textile and architecture via a variety of case studies from the Middle Ages through the twentieth century and from diverse geographic contexts. Among the oldest human technologies, building and weaving have intertwined histories. Textile structures go back to Palaeolithic times and are still in use today and textile furnishings have long been used in interiors. Beyond its use as a material, textile has offered a captivating model and metaphor for architecture through its ability to enclose, tie together, weave, communicate, and adorn. Recently, architects have shown a renewed interest in the textile medium due to the use of computer-aided design, digital fabrication, and innovative materials and engineering. The essays edited and compiled here, work across disciplines to provide new insights into the enduring relationship between textiles and architecture. The contributors critically explore the spatial and material qualities of textiles as well as cultural and political significance of textile artifacts, patterns, and metaphors in architecture. Textile in Architecture is organized into three sections: "Ritual Spaces," which examines the role of textiles in the formation and performance of socio-political, religious, and civic rituals; "Public and Private Interiors" explores how textiles transformed interiors corresponding to changing aesthetics, cultural values, and material practices; and "Materiality and Material Translations," which considers textile as metaphor and model in the materiality of built environment. Including cases from Morocco, Samoa, France, India, UK, Spain, the Ancient Andes and the Ottoman Empire, this is essential reading for any student or researcher interested in textiles in architecture through the ages.

Kelsey Blair
R1,086 Discovery Miles 10 860 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Analyzing sport through the lens of performance and theorizing performance through the lens of sport, Sport and Performance in the Twenty-First Century offers a field intervention, a series of in-depth performance analyses, and an investigation of the intersection between sport performances and public life in the historical present in the global north. The objectives of this book are three-fold. First, the book advocates for the study of sport in the fields of Theatre and Performance Studies and, through in-depth performance analyses, demonstrates how the critical language and methods of performance studies help illuminate the manifold impacts of the practices, activities, and events of sport. Second, the book introduces new critical language that was originally developed in conjunction with sport but is also designed for cross-genre performance analysis. In introducing novel terminology, the book aims to simultaneously facilitate analysis of sport performances and to demonstrate how the study of sport can contribute to the fields of Theatre and Performance Studies. Finally, the book investigates the epistemological, affective, and socio-political effects of sport performances in order to illuminate how sport performances influence, and are influenced by, their historical conditions. This study will be of great interest to students and scholars in Theatre and Performance Studies, Physical Culture Studies, and Socio-Cultural Sports Studies.
