Issue 42 of Afterall addresses the crisis of representation in
contemporary art through the work of Pierre Huyghe and Tania
Bruguera, reflecting on how they each intervene into biological and
political systems. We also put a spotlight on the contributions of
two lesser-known women artists Indonesian Arahmaiani and Egyptian
Inji Efflatoun and their capacity to speak truth to power in their
respective contexts. Finally, accompanying essays include Charles
Esche on Chinese artist Li Mu, Diedrich Diederichsen on political
art, and an interview with Walter Benjamin.
In this remarkable new book, Dr. David Schnarch, world-renowned sex and marital therapist and author of Passionate Marriage, offers a groundbreaking approach to resolving sexual difficulties and the relationship problems they cause. By showing couples how they can turn their worst sex and relationship disasters into personal growth and spiritual connection, Dr. Schnarch offers couples the best sex of their lives. In addition to taking an unflinchingly honest, realistic, and erotic approach to sex, Dr. Schnarch reveals the complicated emotional interactions hidden within couples' most private moments. Resurrecting Sex speaks of compassion, partnership, generosity, and integrity in adult sexual relationships, offering hope to millions of people -- golden-anniversary marriages, newly formed couples, and singles alike -- who are struggling with sexual difficulties. Uplifting, provocative, and heartfelt, the book is organized into four sections: - A crash course in sex
- Explanation of how sexual relationships really work
- Medical options and bionic solutions
- Vignettes of couples changing their sexual relationships
Resurrecting Sex addresses all major sexual issues, including male erection problems such as rapid orgasm and delayed orgasm; women's problems with arousal and lubrication, difficulty reaching orgasm, and low desire; full coverage of Viagra (for both men and women); and other sex-enhancing drugs and medical options. Rather than dwelling on sexual techniques, this sympathetic book shows how to cure the rejection, hostility, and emotional alienation that often accompany sexual problems. Its unique method helps couples develop the love, affection, and commitment that prevent divorce and strengthen families. Generous of spirit, enlightened, and insightful, Resurrecting Sex is destined to make the world a better place to fall in love.
This book explores the role of students' involvement in teacher
professional development. Building upon a research study whereby
pupils instruct their teachers in the use of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT), the author argues that using
student voice in this way can result in transformational learning
for all those involved. The author presents the processes and
experiences of pupils taking on the role of educators as well as
the experiences of the teachers receiving such professional
development from their students. In doing so, he promotes the
innovative use of a student voice initiative to support teaching
and learning, with the overarching purpose of improving and
transforming teacher-pupil relationships. This book will be of
interest and value to students and scholars of pupil voice, teacher
professional development and transformational learning.
In the 1800s, a shepherd's hut or living van would have been an
unremarkable sight in many regions of rural Britain. By the 1970s
most lay abandoned as farming methods and industry left them
behind. Today the humble shepherd's hut is making a comeback and
these quirky collectors' items are fast developing a cult status of
their own. Original huts and living vans command high sums and
replica huts are being built in high numbers to satisfy demand.
However, many who see one, have one or want one know little of
their origin or the differences between them. This beautifully
illustrated book explores the differences and takes a look behind
the door at what living and operating in these small mobile spaces
was really like.
Launched in 1999, Afterall is a journal of contemporary art that
offers in-depth analysis of artists' work, along with essays that
broaden the context in which to understand it. Its academic format
differentiates it from popular review magazines. Volume 48 is
Afterall's 21st anniversary issue, in which the editorial team
reflects on the journal's past though a series of reprints of
contextual essays and artist features, together with new
commissions that inform the present and future vision of the
journal.
Whether jutting skyward, or languishing in the murky depths of the
deep, rocks and sediments hold our little planet together. In The
Geology Book, creationist author Dr. John Morris takes the reader
on a tour of the earth's crust, pointing out both the natural
beauty and the scientific evidences for creation. Profusely
illustrated, this book presents an accurate view of earth's natural
history.
Only six years after man had successfully flown for the first time
with controlled, powered flight in 1903, the Royal Navy could
already see the potential of taking flying machines to sea.
Initially used to extend the view from the ship's crow's nest, the
aircraft at sea would become one of the most influential strides
forward in the history of the Royal Navy. From aircraft and
technology to training, language and recreation, the flying branch
of the Royal Navy has long had its own specific set of objects,
rules and traditions. Delving in to the official archives of the
Fleet Air Arm Museum and the wider National Museum of the Royal
Navy, David Morris tells this incredible story through a selection
of 100 significant objects.
Public Religions in the Future World is the first book to map the
utopian terrain of the political-religious movements of the past
four decades. Examining a politically diverse set of utopian
fictions, this book cuts across the usual Right/Left political
divisions to show a surprising convergence: each
political-religious vision imagines a revived world of care and
community over and against the economization and fragmentation of
neoliberalism. Understanding these religions as utopian movements
in reaction to neoliberalism, Public Religions invites us to
rethink the bases of religious identification and practice.
Offering new insights on texts from the Left Behind series to the
novels of Octavia Butler, Public Religions shows that the utopian
energy of the present opens new opportunities for political
organizing and genuine, lasting community building. Public
Religions in the Future World presents a literary history of the
political-religious present, arguing that the power of public
religion lies in the utopian visions that underlie religious
beliefs. It shows that contemporary literary utopianism is deeply
inflected with religious ideas, with the visions, values, and
ambitions of Christianity, Islam, nature mysticism, and other
traditions. Further, Public Religions demonstrates that this
utopianism's religiosity is in turn politically inflected, that it
resonates with and underwrites a range of competing political
projects: those of imperialism, globalization, neoliberal
capitalism, deep ecology, and the pro-migration movement. David
Morris constructs a working theory of how religion makes
large-scale interventions in political debates. The novels in his
study draw on religious traditions to articulate visions, programs,
or missions for achieving some version of an improved world. In
doing so, they undertake the work of literary postmodernism: to
represent globality, to recover the voices of the underrepresented,
and to imagine a future that escapes the destructiveness of global
capitalism.
