A textbook for undergraduate students consisting of case studies
integrating practice and science.
This book celebrates and seeks to understand the overlooked
appearances of hybrid forms in visual culture; artefacts and
practices that meld or interweave incongruous elements in
innovative ways. And with an emphasis on the material aspects of
such entities, the book adopts the term 'mixed form' for them.
Focusing on key phenomena in the last half millennium such as the
cabinet of curiosities, the broadside ballad and the chapbook as
early forms of image-text, the scrapbook, assemblage, and, in
digital times, so-called 'mixed reality,' the book argues that
while the quality of inconsistency is traditionally dismissed, its
expression nevertheless plays a vital role in social life.
Crucially, Mixed Forms of Visual Culture relates its phenomena to
the emergence of the division of labour under capitalism and
addresses the shifting relationships between art and life, when
singularity and uniformity are variously valued and dismissed in
the two arenas, and at different points in history. Two of the
book's chapters take the form of visual essays, with one comprising
an anthology of found scrapbook pages and the other offering an
analysis of artists' scrapbooks. The book is richly illustrated
throughout.

A double bill of films detailing the life of musical comedienne
Fanny Brice. In 'Funny Girl', Fanny (Barbra Streisand) is an
aspiring star living in New York in the early 1900s. She has the
chance to realize her ambition when she meets playboy Nick Arnstein
(Omar Sharif), who introduces her to Florenz Ziegfeld (Walter
Pidgeon). When Ziegfeld puts Fanny in his Follies, she becomes an
instant hit. However, marriage to Nick is not a bed of roses. In
the sequel, 'Funny Lady', it is the 1930s, and Fanny is now over
Nick. She is due to wed impresario Billy Rose (James Caan), but the
union proves to be a tempestuous one. Although Billy provides Fanny
with several hit songs, she soon tires of his womanising.

This story follows the life of a Jamaican girl who was subjected to
emotional and physical abuse as a child. She was also a victim of
sexual abuse, a situation that scarred her for life, even without
her knowledge. Through all her hardships at work, at home as a wife
and mother, and eventually through a painful divorce, Kishan was
able to find love; not a new love, but one that was waiting for her
for many years. With some of the dialogue written in Jamaica's
dialect, Patois, Kishan promises to be an interestingly different
kind of story. Follow Kishan as she tells her story.
Sneezy Wheezy Rez was inspired by Payten's sneezes and love for the
outdoors. Francis focused on Payten's first visual interests
outside, such as grass, trees, flowers and birds. She hopes that
Sneezy Wheezy Rez raises rhinoceros awareness, and helps keep these
majestic creatures off the endangered species list.
