This groundbreaking book is the first to provide a critical
overview of the relationship between contemporary ceramics and
curatorial practice in museum culture. Ceramic objects form a major
part of museum collections, with connections to anthropology,
archaeology and other disciplines that engage with the cultural and
social history of humankind. In recent years museums have provided
the impetus for cutting-edge artistic practice, either as a
response to particular collections, or as part of exhibitions. But
the question of how museums have staged contemporary ceramics and
how ceramic artists respond to museum collections has not been the
subject of published research to date. This book examines how
ceramic artists have, over the last decade, begun to animate museum
collections in new ways, and reflects on the impact that these new
initiatives have had in the broad context of visual culture.
Ceramics in the Expanded Field is the culmination of a three-year
AHRC funded project, and reflects its major findings. It brings
together leading international voices in the field of ceramics,
research undertaken throughout the project and papers delivered at
the concluding conference. By examining the benefits and
constraints of interventions and the dialogue between ceramics and
museological practice, this book will bring focus to an area of
museology that has not yet been theorized, and will contribute to
policy debates and art practice.

This book is about partnership problems and the difficulties which
come with commitment and marriage. It analyses the origins of those
problems, common and less common, and leads the reader along a path
from understanding to the possibility of resolution. The author
addresses the part played by sexual difficulties, which often arise
in long-term relationships but receive little recognition in a
society swamped with images of idealised sexuality. Indeed massive
exposure to sexual ideals in the media produces an inevitable sense
of comparative failure in many people. With divorce now so
commonplace, marriage more than ever requires the glue' of sexual
satisfaction to heal conflict and keep love viable. The author's
approach is to show how satisfaction in a partnership depends on
understanding both the emotional intricacies of promising to share
a life together, and the way these complex issues affect sexual
responses -- and vice versa. Dr Christie-Brown explores the way
individuals bring unconscious demands and unrealistic expectations
from the past into their partnerships; unless these are understood,
conflict can result. A Tug of War model is used to illustrate the
various conflicts that engaging with a partner can bring. The book
is aimed at the open-minded reader who is prepared to look at their
partnership problems in a new light; complex emotional issues are
dealt with in an accessible way. It is also an essential tool for
counsellors, doctors, social workers and all those involved in
psychotherapy; it combines -- in a unique but tried and tested
manner -- analytical and behavioural disciplines to produce an
effective remedy.
Christy Brown was born a victim of cerebral palsy. But the hapless,
lolling baby concealed the brilliantly imaginative and sensitive
mind of a writer who would take his place among the giants of Irish
literature. This is Christy Brown's own story. He recounts his
childhood struggle to learn to read, write, paint and finally type,
with the toe of his left foot. In this manner he wrote his
bestseller Down all the Days.
