Staging and Re-cycling - Retrieving, Reflecting and Re-framing the Archive (Hardcover): John Keefe, Knut Ove Arntzen Staging and Re-cycling - Retrieving, Reflecting and Re-framing the Archive (Hardcover)
John Keefe, Knut Ove Arntzen
R3,833 Discovery Miles 38 330 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

In Staging and Re- cycling , John Keefe and Knut Ove Arntzen re-visit and reappraise a selection of their work to explore how the retrieval, re-approaching and re-framing of material can offer pathways for new work and new thinking. The book includes a collection of reprinted and first-published (although previously presented) textual material interspersed with editorial material - reflective essays from John and Knut on these pieces from the archives and original essays from invited scholars that explore the theme of repetition and re-cycling. The project has a number of aims: to suggest how the status of 'new' with regard to academic and staged dramaturgical materials may be reframed; to re-examine these through certain lenses and concepts (re-cycling; re-working; the spectator; landscape, post- and other dramaturgies); to explore the possibilities of critique offered by particular modes of juxtaposition, dialogue and dialectic; to offer further provocations to received ideas; and to retrieve and re-approach material, once published or presented, that becomes 'lost' in archives or on library shelves. As shown here, the role of the hyphen acts as an indicator to the status of 're-' in relation to the 'new'. Written for scholars and academics, researchers, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and practitioners working in all forms for theatre and performance, Staging and Re-cycling suggests a new form of dialogue between work, authors and readers, and draws out threads that extend back into the past and potentially forward into the future.

Refining Your Academic Writing - Strategies for Reading, Revising and Rewriting (Paperback): Pat Thomson Refining Your Academic Writing - Strategies for Reading, Revising and Rewriting (Paperback)
Pat Thomson
R638 Discovery Miles 6 380 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

- This book provides doctoral and early career researchers with the detail needed to understand the importance of refining text, provides them with a language to take charge of refining practices, and a bank of strategies that can be adapted and built on. - Refining text is something that all doctoral and early career researchers need to learn and practice from the very beginning of the doctorate, not something to be done as the end of the last stage of 'writing up'. This is a message rarely given in academic writing books and advice materials. - The book offers an innovative framework covering foundation, generation and response. It covers these three stages as they relate to all academic writing at doctoral and early career researcher level.

Partners of the Imagination - The Lives, Art and Struggles of John Arden and Margaretta D'Arcy (Paperback): Robert Leach Partners of the Imagination - The Lives, Art and Struggles of John Arden and Margaretta D'Arcy (Paperback)
Robert Leach
R1,233 Discovery Miles 12 330 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Partners of the Imagination is the first in-depth study of the work of John Arden and Margaretta D'Arcy, partners in writing and cultural and political campaigns. Beginning in the 1950s, Arden and D'Arcy created a series of hugely admired plays performed at Britain's major theatres. Political activists, they worked tirelessly in the peace movement and the Northern Ireland 'Troubles', during which D'Arcy was gaoled. She is also a veteran of the Greenham Common Women's Peace camp. Their later work included Booker-listed novels, prize-winning stories, essays and radio plays, and D'Arcy founded and ran a Woman's Pirate Radio station. Raymond Williams described Arden as 'the most genuinely innovative' of the playwrights of his generation, and Chambers and Prior claimed that 'The Non-Stop Connolly Show', D'Arcy and Arden's six-play epic, 'has fair claim to being one of the finest pieces of post-war drama in the English language'. This study explores the connections between art and life, and between the responsibilities of the writer and the citizen. Importantly, it also evaluates the range of literary works (plays, poetry, novels, essays, polemics) created by these writers, both as literature and drama, and as controversialist activity in its own right. This work is a landmark examination of two hugely respected radical writers.

Property and Finance on the Post-Brexit London Stage - We Want What You Have (Paperback): Michael Meeuwis Property and Finance on the Post-Brexit London Stage - We Want What You Have (Paperback)
Michael Meeuwis
R1,220 Discovery Miles 12 200 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A guide to the contemporary London stage as well as an argument about its future, the book walks readers through the city's performance spaces following the Brexit vote. Austerity-era London theatre is suffused with the belief that private ownership defines full citizenship, its perspective narrowing to what an affluent audience might find relatable. From pub theatres to the National, Michael Meeuwis reveals how what gets put on in London interacts with the daily life of the neighbourhoods in which they are set. This study addresses global theatregoers, as well as students and scholars across theatre and performance studies-particularly those interested in UK culture after Brexit, urban geography, class, and theatrical economics.

Responding to the trend of formulaic writing in the academic community, How To Write Differently offers a refreshing approach to academic writing in a practical format. The book explores how, in order to write differently, an author needs to embrace complexity and alterity and write to be read. Highlighting the importance of bringing joy and enlightenment to readers rather than simply writing for the metrics, experienced contributors delve into the significance of poetry and idiom, writing from the heart and what to write about. Chapters also consider key practicalities such as, how to make an argument and not slide into reductionism? How to engage with literature without being dull and formulaic? How to describe important issues such as empirical research and insights? Finally, the book sheds light on the review process, where to publish, reflective referencing and how to revise your writing. Aiming to inspire academic writers and readers, while offering practical guidance, How to Write Differently will be a valuable resource for business and management researchers and students seeking to write in a new way.

In this classic guide, Tim Albert demystifies the process of getting research published in his characteristically clear and engaging style. From the initial brief to final manuscript and beyond, all is explained in jargon-free, no-nonsense and encouraging terms, providing indispensable guidance to clinicians, scientists and academics in giving their research the platform it deserves.

Brecht in India - The Poetics and Politics of Transcultural Theatre (Paperback): Prateek Brecht in India - The Poetics and Politics of Transcultural Theatre (Paperback)
Prateek
R1,257 Discovery Miles 12 570 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Brecht in India analyses the dramaturgy and theatrical practices of the German playwright Bertolt Brecht in post-independence India. The book explores how post-independence Indian drama is an instance of a cultural palimpsest, a site celebrating a dialogue between Western and Indian theatrical traditions, rather than a homogenous and isolated canon. Analysing the dissemination of a selection of Brecht's plays in the Hindi belt between the 1960s and the 1990s, this study demonstrates that Brecht's work provided aesthetic and ideological paradigms to modern Hindi playwrights, helping them develop and stage a national identity. The book also traces how the reception of Brecht was mediated in India, how it helped post-independence Indian playwrights formulate a political theatre, and how the dissemination of Brechtian aesthetics in India addressed the anxiety related to the stasis in Brechtian theatre in Europe. Tracking the dialogue between Brechtian aesthetics in India and Europe and a history of deliberate cultural resistance, Brecht in India is an invaluable resource for academics and students of theatre studies and theatre historiography, as well as scholars of post-colonial history and literature.

Amanda French
R3,910 Discovery Miles 39 100 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book takes a philosophical approach to the question 'what is academic writing?' and specifically explores the question of how academic writing and writing development can be better understood and developed by lecturers in higher education. It examines how a number of interconnected and interdisciplinary political, linguistic, discursive, ontological and epistemological frameworks can be used to inform a 'post-qualitative' approach for research into higher education academic writing practices, employing a Bourdusian/ Deluzean inspired approach. Using lecturers' own perceptions and experiences of academic writing, and treating them as part of a 'professional academic writing in higher education habitus', the book illustrates and analyses a number of ideas and concepts through a broadly post-qualitative paradigm. It also offers a number of innovative academic writing and writing development practices. Offering an in-depth discussion into how lecturers might better negotiate academic writing practices and use their own academic writing experiences to develop students' writing, this book will be highly relevant to academics, scholars and post-graduate students working in higher education.

An Oak Tree (Paperback): Catherine Love An Oak Tree (Paperback)
Catherine Love
R305 Discovery Miles 3 050 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

'You will see no false nothing false tonight' - the Hypnotist Tim Crouch's second play collapses a tale of loss and grief into an exploration of theatrical representation, in a piece of theatre that is at once formally innovative and profoundly moving. Written for two actors, An Oak Tree depicts the fraught meeting of a grieving father and the stage hypnotist who was behind the wheel of the car that killed his daughter, with the father played by a different actor at each performance, walking on stage with no prior knowledge of the play. Catherine Love explores An Oak Tree's connections with conceptual art, the unique process of its creation, its interrogation of stage representation, its relationship with audiences, and its place as part of Crouch's ongoing body of work.

M. Jimmie Killingsworth, Michael Gilbertson
R1,245 Discovery Miles 12 450 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This important new text invites readers to step back from their busy professional lives and look at technical communication philosophically, to ask fundamental questions such as what does it mean to communicate? and how do language and graphics - the ""signs"" or ""tools"" of the technical communicator - relate to action in a technological world? Through this excursion in the theory of technical discourse, you will discover a fresh approach to reports, manuals, and proposals produced and consumed daily in business, government, and research organizations around the world. The authors examine familiar genres in two relatively new ways.

Next Generation Genres - Teaching Writing for Civic and Academic Engagement (Paperback): Jessica Singer Early Next Generation Genres - Teaching Writing for Civic and Academic Engagement (Paperback)
Jessica Singer Early
R799 Discovery Miles 7 990 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Evolutions in technology and connectivity have brought about significant changes in the ways writing is produced and shared. Yet despite monumental shifts in the practice of writing, how we teach writing has remained largely static. What we need is a new set of genres for writing instruction: genres that will speak to students who are already immersed in rich and multifaceted literacy practices through social media, gaming and new technologies. Jessica S. Early's Next Generation Genres provides an alternative framework for a secondary writing curriculum that places a central emphasis on helping students gain the experience they need to write with confidence in academic and civic life. If your students' eyes glaze over when they face a standard essay assignment, perhaps it's time to let them try writing an infographic or a podcast!
