Dance in Palestine has a history as complex and contentious as
the land itself. Whether dismissed as bacchantic madness by Bible
tourists in the 19th Century, revived and glorified by Zionists,
Pan-Arabists and Palestinian Nationalists in the 20th Century, or
rejected by Islamic Reformists in the 21st Century, dance in
Palestine has a rich and elusive story that remains to be told.
"Raising Dust" traces one dancer's journey into Palestine's past
and present. Through historical archives, the memories of dancers
of yesteryear and into today's vibrant performing arts scene,
Nicholas Rowe shows how dance has acted as a barometer of social
change, a forum for debate and a means of expressing forbidden
ideas. Far from apolitical, this most physical of art forms has
often defined the political mood of the day. Sumptuously
illustrated, the author provides a unique, rare and compelling
cultural history of dance in Palestine.
This book offers the first comprehensive guide to poster
presentation at academic, scientific and professional conferences.
Each chapter explores different factors that impact upon how
posters function, and how they fit within today's conference
practices, as well as provides guidance on how to address
compilation and presentation issues with the poster medium. Drawing
from fields of education, psychology, advertising and other areas,
the book offers examples of how theories may be applied to practice
in terms of both traditional paper and electronic poster formats.
Importantly, the book offers a critical examination of how academic
and scientific posters are able to achieve their potential for
knowledge dissemination, networking and knowledge transfer. The
many new and challenging findings provide an evidence-based
approach to help both novice and experienced presenters compile
effective poster presentations, and to see how poster presentations
can best be used to share knowledge, facilitate networking, and
promote dialogue. Additionally, educators, employers, and
conference organizers may use this book to re-evaluate how
conferences meet the needs of today's globally connected peer
groups, and the benefit they provide at individual and group
levels.
