This book offers a re-examination of art production in terms that
understand the process of learning as the production of art itself.
Drawing on the thought of Ranciere, Freire, Gramsci and Mouffe, it
provides an account of the politics of art production and a
theoretical understanding of hegemonic power, while developing a
view of method in critical pedagogy founded on the process of
'making adversaries'. Through a re-evaluation of the relationships
between process, arts production and pedagogy within accelerated
developments of neoliberalism, the author uncovers ways of forming
a more co-operative and less conflictual approach to democratic
politics. An investigation of ways in which art practice can be
used to engage with critical pedagogy in relation to a commodity
driven neoliberal agenda, Art, Critical Pedagogy and Capitalism
constitutes a radical rethinking of art making, and an attempt to
address the paradox between the proliferation of the commodity of
learning and the perceived crisis of arts education. As such, it
will appeal to scholars of education, pedagogy and the arts with
interests in social and critical theory.

Shireen's not exactly enjoying being sectioned, but she's been in
worse places. That psychiatric unit in Brecon was a right dump.
This one's alright, though. There's table tennis, art therapy and
they even get to do a bit of gardening. There's only one problem.
Shireen's roommate. Toshiko - she's a total space cadet, convinced
the unit is overrun by aliens. Yeah, right. CAST: Naoko Mori
(Toshiko Sato), Emma Kaler (Shireen), Linda Armstrong (Felicia
Haynes), Nick Asbury (Ivan), Dylan Jones (Steffan Blayney). Other
parts played by members of the cast. NOTE: Torchwood contains adult
material and may not be suitable for younger listeners.
The global spread of Islamic movements and the ascendance of a
Chinese state that limits religious freedom have aroused anxieties
about integrating Islam and protecting religious freedom around the
world. Focusing on violent movements like the so-called Islamic
State and Uygur separatists in China's Xinjiang Province threatens
to drown out the alternatives presented by apolitical and inwardly
focused manifestations of transnational Islamic revival popular
among groups like the Hui, China's largest Muslim minority. This
book explores how Muslim revivalists in China's Qinghai Province
employ individual agency to reconcile transnational notions of
religious orthodoxy with the materialist rationalism of atheist
China. Based on a year immersed in one of China's most concentrated
and conservative urban Muslim communities in Xining, the book puts
individuals' struggles to navigate theological controversies in the
contexts of global Islamic revival and Chinese modernization. By
doing so, it reveals how attempts to revive the original essence of
Islam can empower individuals to form peaceful and productive
articulations with secular societies, and further suggests means of
combatting radicalization and encouraging interfaith dialogue. As
the first major research monograph on Islamic revival in modern
China, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of
Anthropology, Islamic Studies, and Chinese Studies.

This book is a sustained argument for a creative and progressive
social science. Modern social theory, despite an optimistic gloss,
is profoundly pessimistic about social life and social inquiry.
This pessimism is traced to the explanatory failures of social
theory: failures that are shared by apparently disparate schools of
thought. The book traces these similarities across non-Marxist and
Marxist writings and in British, continental European and North
American authors. It also shows the persistence of negative
features over time, tracing cycles of hope to despair in successive
generations.;Specific examples of explanatory problems given
unprogressive treatment are chosen from the mainstream of current
sociology. How the re-definition of categories and processes can
solve these problems progressively is demonstrated. The object is
to turn social science towards the real problems of society whose
creative solution will expand human competence and practical
resources.
