This collection of essays offers a historical reappraisal of what
musical modernism was, and what its potential for the present and
future could be. It thus moves away from the binary oppositions
that have beset twentieth-century music studies in the past, such
as those between modernism and postmodernism, between conceptions
of musical autonomy and of cultural contingency and between
formalist-analytical and cultural-historical approaches. Focussing
particularly on music from the 1970s to the 1990s, the volume
assembles approaches from different perspectives to new music with
a particular emphasis on a critical reassessment of the meaning and
function of the legacy of musical modernism. The authors include
scholars, musicologists and composers who combine culturally,
socially, historically and aesthetically oriented approaches with
analytical methods in imaginative ways.

explained, including the methodology, process and insight for
teachers, as well as the underlying purpose each game is designed
to address * In addition to professionals teaching social skills to

is also designed so that parents of special needs students can
easily access the activities for at-home instruction and
recreational use with their children

Columbia University; Sneja Gunew, professor of English and women's
studies at the University of British Columbia; and Fazal Rizvi, a
professor of education at the University of Illinois.
This illuminating, engaging book offers an introduction to the art
of sound design and postproduction audio, written especially for
for directors, producers, sound designers, and teachers without a
technical background in sound. Building on over 50 years of
combined expertise in teaching, filmmaking, and sound design,
experienced instructor and author Peter Rea and sound designer
Matthew Polis offer a cogent, clear, and practical overview of
sound design principles and practices, from exploring the language
and vocabulary of sound to teaching readers how to work with sound
professionals, and later to overseeing the edit, mix, and finishing
processes. In this book, Rea and Polis focus on creative and
practical ways to utilize sound in order to achieve the filmmaker's
vision and elevate their films. Balancing practical,
experienced-based insight, numerous examples, and unique concepts
like storyboarding for sound, A Filmmaker’s Guide to Sound Design
arms students, filmmakers, and educators with the knowledge to
creatively and confidently navigate their film through the post
audio process.

Best known for his documentaries such as Drifters, North Sea, and
Housing Problems, John Grierson was the most important figure in
the British documentary film movement and one of the most
influential of British film theorists. This major assessment of
Grierson and the documentary film movement examines the
intellectual and aesthetic influences on his work, focusing on the
material he produced in the inter-war years and comparing the
idealistic strain of Grierson's social commentary with other social
reformists such as the Next Five Years Group and writers like
Orwell and Priestley. Underlining the link between film and reform,
the book clarifies the meaning and significance of Grierson's ideas
and the historical role of the documentary film movement.
Originally published in 1990.

This book investigates creative responses to the Nazi period in the
work of three artists, Felix Nussbaum, Charlotte Salomon and Arnold
Daghani, focusing on their use of pictorial narrative. It analyses
their contrasting aesthetic strategies and their innovative forms
of artistic production. In contrast with the autonomous, modernist
art object, their works were explicitly linked with the historical
conditions under which they were produced - the pressures of
persecution and exile. Conditions in the slave labour camps and
ghettos in the Ukraine, which shaped the paintings and drawings of
Daghani, are contrasted with the experiences of exile in Belgium
and France, which inspired Nussbaum and Salomon. In defiance of
conventional artistic practice, they produced word-image
combinations that can be read as narrative sequences, incorporating
specific references to political events. While there has been a
wealth of literary, philosophical and historical studies relating
to the Holocaust, aesthetic debate has developed less extensively.
This is the first comparative study of three artists who are only
belatedly achieving recognition and the recent reception of their
work is evaluated. By identifying the aesthetic principles and
narrative strategies underlying their work, the book reassesses
their achievement in creating new forms of modernism with an
unmistakable political momentum. This book was published as a
special issue of Word & Image.
