This book uses the metaphors of practice spaces and practice
sessions to demonstrate the connection between creative and
performance practices, and critical pedagogy. It offers a
conceptual framework for using performance and creative practices
as starting points for developing philosophies and practices of
teaching that are grounded in aesthetic, creative, and critical
approaches to education. The practice sessions for pedagogy
presented include a range of creative endeavours, such as
performance workshops, musical routines, crafting practices, and
writing. By focusing on the critical function of creative
practices, the book emphasizes the ways creativity can reveal the
relationship between everyday acts, and social and cultural
ideologies and structures. Creative practices also present the
opportunity for imagining new, more socially just and inclusive,
configurations of these relationships. This book is designed for
teachers and students interested in critical pedagogy, performance,
and creative educational practices.
Geodetic astrology literally means 'World' astrology. The Geodetic
Equivalent concept was originally a house cusp structure calculated
for any geographic location, and a natal chart inserted within it
can be used for personal relocation in order to emphasise or
alleviate specific points on that chart. The chart of an eclipse,
lunation, or Great Conjunction can also be inserted within its cusp
structure for mundane astrology, observing angular emphasis in
forecasting. The concept has now been advanced to place the zodiac
across a map of the world for a quick glance at where a planet's
position or even an eclipse degree would have its greatest
influence, pinpointing global "hot" spots for a notable event. It
could indicate the escalation of political activity and societal
tension, predict the potential of an earthquake or a volcanic
eruption, or indicate extreme weather conditions due to shifts in
ocean currents. This book is a fascinating compilation of the
author's countless years of study in the application of both
mundane astrology and personal relocation. It can be understood by
any level of astrological student due to the many examples, stories
and explanatory text and will no doubt provide inspiration for
further research.
Performative Listening: Hearing Others in Qualitative Research
offers an alternative theory of listening - as a performative act,
or as a relational stance and performance in which listeners
ethically engage in an act of learning from others across
difference. This theory emerges from an interdisciplinary approach
to performance studies, communication, musicology, and critical
pedagogy in order to present a nuanced theory of listening as
performance that is always linked to questions of context,
individual experiences, and cultural expectations. Working from
examples of the music and autobiography of Miles Davis, this book
offers a clear and practical guide for applying performative
listening in the contexts of qualitative, narrative, and arts-based
approaches to research and inquiry. By emphasizing the embodied,
relational, and creative functions of the highly contextual and
cultural performance of listening, Performative Listening presents
a theory and method that can be used to rethink the ways scholars
and students engage with others in a wide variety of qualitative
research and educational contexts.
