This book proposes 'paragogic' methods to re-imagine the art
academy. While art schooling was revolutionised in the early 20th
century by the Bauhaus, the author argues that many art schools are
unwittingly recycling the same modernist pedagogical fashions.
Stagnating in such traditions, today's art schools are blind to
recent advances in the scholarship of teaching and learning. As
discipline-based education research in art eternally battles the
perceived threat of epistemicide, transformative educational
practices are rapidly overcoming the perennialism of the art
school. The author develops critical case studies of open source
and peer-to-peer methods for re-imagining the art academy
(para-academia) and andragogy (paragogy). This innovative book will
be of interest and value to students and scholars of the art
school, as well as how the art academy can be reimagined and
rebuilt.
Title first published in 2003. What happened to art in Britain when
the balance began to shift from public to private subsidy following
the IMF crisis in 1976? In this polemical book, Neil Mulholland
charts the political and cultural shifts in art in Britain from the
mid-1970's to the end of the twentieth century. His account covers
the key trends and artists of this extraordinarily diverse period,
including critical postmodernism, feminism, neoconservatism, object
sculpture, the new image, Brit Art, and Scottish neoconceptualism,
and traces the development of critical thinking from the opinions
of critics such as Richard Cork, John Roberts and Matthew Collings
to tabloid press art scandals. The Cultural Devolution offers a
broad critical and historical framework within which to understand
public debate on the merits of young British artists such as Damien
Hirst while looking beyond such celebrities to re-discover the
wealth and range of work produced. Essential reading for anyone
interested in contemporary art in Britain.
"In this speculative venture avatars and scenarios proliferate and
spin out as redundant probe-heads from the central processing
machine that is Capital. Indeed, such a book as this accelerates
the process. Here one finds characters composed of advertising
refrains and slogans, cruising the mediascape, guided by a
telematics standardization that manifests itself in brands and
slogans, fast-food outlets and jousting tournaments. This book
speaks of consumers and commodities that move at a pace which
outruns the regulative speeds of the market, but that also move
slower. Is this the future of Capital? If it is, then it is also
its past. A court sub specie aeterni." Simon O'Sullivan
Neomedievalisms are cultural practices that breathe a bouquet of
premoderns as permanent rehearsals of coming events. Where
medievalists may be prone to police the post-medieval weald for
'inauthentic' medievalisms, neomedievalists embrace the
articulation and mobilisation of metahistorical 'anachronisms'. To
the medievalist, medievalisms provide powerful indexes that reveal
how post-medieval societies have variously imagined 'little middle
ages' to suit modern agendas. To the neomedievalist, medievalisms
are theory-fictions that facilitate ludic speculation on non-modern
futurities. While neomedievalist theories have emerged in a variety
of fields since the early 1970s - notably in cultural studies of
medievalisms, international relations and literary theory - there
are few applications that synthesise and put the methodologies of
these diverse fields into practice. thN Lng folk 2go applies this
extant scholarship as an extradisciplinary practice, dramatising
the neomedieval turn in (quasi)objects, persons, work, education,
travel, food, ethnicity, media, art, hypereconomics and technology.
This speculative journey is ghost authored by a trinity of
neomedievalist narrators - Journeyman, Anchorite and Host - each
relic-ing their own curious neomedieval futurities. Drawing its
heterogeneous approaches from studies in medievalisms,
international relations, literary theory, actor-network theory,
anthropology, hypereconomics, art history, aesthetics, ecology,
cultural theory, cultural geography, ambience, speculative realism
and future studies - thN Lng folk 2go is both an investigation of
and a benefaction to a murmuration of neomedievalisms. thN lng flk
