This anthology fosters an interdisciplinary dialogue between the
mathematical and artistic approaches in the field where
mathematical and artistic thinking and practice merge. The articles
included highlight the most significant current ideas and
phenomena, providing a multifaceted and extensive snapshot of the
field and indicating how interdisciplinary approaches are applied
in the research of various cultural and artistic phenomena. The
discussions are related, for example, to the fields of aesthetics,
anthropology, art history, art theory, artistic practice, cultural
studies, ethno-mathematics, geometry, mathematics, new physics,
philosophy, physics, study of visual illusions, and symmetry
studies. Further, the book introduces a new concept: the
interdisciplinary aesthetics of mathematical art, which the editors
use to explain the manifold nature of the aesthetic principles
intertwined in these discussions.
Critical Heritage Studies is a new and fast-growing
interdisciplinary field of study seeking to explore power relations
involved in the production and meaning-making of cultural heritage.
Politics of Scale offers a global, multi- and interdisciplinary
point of view to the scaled nature of heritage, and provides a
theoretical discussion on scale as a social construct and a method
in Critical Heritage Studies. The international contributors
provide examples and debates from a range of diverse countries,
discuss how heritage and scale interact in current processes of
heritage meaning-making, and explore heritage-scale relationship as
a domain of politics.
This open access book analyses intercultural dialogue as a concept,
policy and ideal in European education policy documentation. The
core European transnational organizatons - the Council of Europe
and the European Union - have actively promoted policies to
engender inclusive societies and respond to challenges that
diversification may entail. This book, in turn, offers suggestions
for improving education policies in super-diversified Europe and
beyond, where there is an increasing need for cultural
understanding and constructive dialogue. The authors utilize
concept analysis to reveal how these organizations seek to deal
with dialogue between cultures, as well as weight given to cultural
differences and intercultural encounters. This book will be of
interest and value to scholars of intercultural dialogue and
European education policies.
This open access book discusses political, economic, social, and
humanitarian challenges that influence both how people deal with
their past and how they build their identities in contemporary
Europe. Ongoing debates on migration, on local, national, inter-
and transnational levels, prove that it is a divisive issue with
regards to understanding European integration and identity. At the
same time, the European Union increasingly invests in projects
related to European heritage, museums, and cultural memory
networks, while having to take dissonant heritages into account.
These processes in their combination offer an interesting dynamic
and form the complex puzzle that poses challenging questions for
anyone involved in academic research, heritage practices, and
policy debates. With this puzzle at its core, this book explicitly
focuses on slippery and transforming notions of Europe and
critically discusses ongoing and transforming power structures of
heritage and memory in today's Europe. The book combines
theoretical and methodological contributions to the debates on
European heritage and memory studies and in-depth analyses of
empirical case studies. Its main aim is to bring research fields
concerning memory and heritage into a closer dialogue and thus
explore the cultural and political dynamics of contemporary Europe.
This open access book discusses how cultural literacy can be taught
and learned through creative practices. It approaches cultural
literacy as a dialogic social process based on learning and gaining
knowledge through emphatic, tolerant, and inclusive interaction.
The book focuses on meaning-making in children and young people's
visual and multimodal artefacts created by students aged 5-15 as an
outcome of the Cultural Literacy Learning Programme implemented in
schools in Cyprus, Germany, Israel, Lithuania, Spain, Portugal, and
the UK. The lessons in the program address different social and
cultural themes, ranging from one's cultural attachments to being
part of a community and engaging more broadly in society. The
artefacts are explored through data-driven content analysis and
self-reflexive and collaborative interpretation and discussed
through multimodality and a sociocultural approach to children's
visual expression. This interdisciplinary volume draws on cultural
studies, communication studies, art education, and educational
sciences.
Creating and Governing Cultural Heritage in the European Union: The
European Heritage Label provides an interdisciplinary examination
of the ways in which European cultural heritage is created,
communicated, and governed via the new European Heritage Label
scheme. Drawing on ethnographic field research conducted across ten
countries at sites that have been awarded with the European
Heritage Label, the authors of the book approach heritage as an
entangled social, spatial, temporal, discursive, narrative,
performative, and embodied process. Recognising that heritage is
inherently political and used by diverse actors as a tool for
re-imagining communities, identities, and borders, and for
generating notions of inclusion and exclusion in Europe, the book
also considers the idea of Europe itself as a narrative. Chapters
tackle issues such as multilevel governance of heritage;
geopolitics of border-crossings and border-making; participation
and non-participation; and embodiment and affective experience of
heritage. Creating and Governing Cultural Heritage in the European
Union advances heritage studies with an interdisciplinary approach
that utilises and combines theories and conceptualizations from
critical geopolitics, political studies, EU and European studies,
cultural policy research, and cultural studies. As such, the volume
will be of interest to scholars and students engaged in the study
of heritage, politics, belonging, the EU, ideas, and narratives of
Europe.

Challenges and Solutions in Ethnographic Research: Ethnography with
a Twist seeks to rethink ethnography 'outside the box' of its
previous tradition and to develop ethnographic methods by
critically discussing the process, ethics, impact and knowledge
production in ethnographic research. This interdisciplinary edited
volume argues for a 'twist' that supports openness, courage, and
creativity to develop and test innovative and unconventional ways
of thinking and doing ethnography. 'Ethnography with a twist' means
both an intentional aim to conduct ethnographic research with novel
approaches and methods but also sensitivity to recognize and
creativity to utilize different kinds of 'twist moments' that
ethnographic research may create for the researcher. This edited
volume critically evaluates new and old methodological tools and
their ability to engage with questions of power difference. It
proposes new collaborative methods that allow for co-production and
co-creation of research material as well as shared conceptual work
and wider distribution of knowledge. The book will be of use to
ethnographers in humanities and social science disciplines
including sociology, anthropology and communication studies.
