Taylor & Francis Encountering Craft
Book SynopsisThis book reflects on the methodological challenges and possibilities encountered when researching practices that have been historically defined and classified as âcraft.â It fosters an understanding of how methodology, across disciplines, contributes to analytical frameworks within which the subject matter of craft is defined and constructed. The contributions are written by scholars whose work focuses on different craft practices across geographies. Each chapter contains detailed case study material along with theoretical analysis of the research challenges confronted. They provide valuable insight into how methodologies emerge in response to particular research conditions and contexts, addressing issues of decolonization, representation, institutionalization, and power. Informed by anthropology, art history and design, this volume facilitates interdisciplinary discussion and touches on some of the most critical issues related to craft research today.Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The English Theatrical AvantGarde 19001925
Book SynopsisThe English Theatrical Avant-Garde, 19001925 unearths an extensive range of hitherto forgotten or ignored theatre practices. In doing so it reveals some of the well-known figures of the early twentieth-century English theatre in a strikingly new light. It fluently describes an intensity of innovation and experiment that together made the Edwardian theatre rather more radical, and rather more queer, than we've ever thought.Where the majority of writing on the early twentieth-century theatrical avant-garde is concerned with European movements and experiments, English activity of the period is often seen as parochial and conservative mainly realism and issues-based drama. This book presents a new model of how avant-gardes might work; a model based not on masculine individualism but on communal inclusion. In describing this fascinating material, the author introduces us to many new figures and shows familiar ones in different ways: there's Florence Farr, independTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Tower of Pisa
Book SynopsisThe Leaning Tower of Pisa is known worldwide for its five-degree lean. The Tower is the Campanile of the Cathedral, which together with the Baptistry and Cemetery form a breath-taking collection of monuments which are regarded as supreme examples of early Renaissance Romanesque architecture. In March 1990 the Tower was closed to the public as it was declared unsafe and close to collapse. A Commission was set up by the Italian Government with the task of developing and implementing stabilization measures. This book begins with a brief description of the history of the Tower and its construction. The reader is then introduced to the huge challenges faced by the Commission in designing and implementing appropriate stabilization measures whilst at the same time satisfying the demanding requirements of conserving a world heritage monument. In particular, two historical studies are described which proved to be most valuable in arriving at suitable stabilization measures. The first Table of Contents1. Introduction. 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Reimagining Industrial Sites
Book SynopsisThe discourse around derelict, former industrial and military sites has grown in recent years. This interest is not only theoretical, and landscape professionals are taking new approaches to the design and development of these sites. This book examines the varied ways in which the histories and qualities of these derelict sites are reimagined in the transformed landscape and considers how such approaches can reveal the dramatic changes that have been wrought on these places over a relatively short time scale. It discusses these issues with reference to eleven sites from the UK, Germany, the USA, Australia and China, focusing specifically on how designers incorporate evidence of landscape change, both cultural and natural. There has been little research into how these developed landscapes are perceived by visitors and local residents. This book examines how the tangible material traces of pastness are interpreted by the visitor and the impact of the intangible elements - hidden traces, experiences and memories. The book draws together theory in the field and implications for practice in landscape architecture and concludes with an examination of how different approaches to revealing and reimagining change can affect the future management of the site.Trade Review"The complex legacy of post-industrial and military landscapes presents ecological challenges across the world today, requiring close scrutiny and imaginative responses. Catherine Heatherington’s fine-grained exploration of the successful recuperation of the former gun-ranges at Rainham Marshes near London, along with other case studies, provides essential insights into how best to approach this new landscape condition. The book provides an invaluable resource for those who now manage such derelict and neglected sites and, ultimately, for the wider public - for whom they are the new landscapes of leisure and environmental renewal."

Taylor & Francis Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food
Book SynopsisSince the turn of the millennium, there has been a burgeoning interest in, and literature of, both landscape studies and food studies. Landscape describes places as relationships and processes. Landscapes create peopleâs identities and guide their actions and their preferences, while at the same time are shaped by the actions and forces of people. Food, as currency, medium, and sustenance, is a fundamental part of those landscape relationships.This volume brings together over fifty contributors from around the world in forty profoundly interdisciplinary chapters. Chapter authors represent an astonishing range of disciplines, from agronomy, anthropology, archaeology, conservation, countryside management, cultural studies, ecology, ethics, geography, heritage studies, landscape architecture, landscape management and planning, literature, urban design and architecture. Both food studies and landscape studies defy comprehension from the perspective of a single discipline, and thus such a range is both necessary and enriching.The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food is intended as a first port of call for scholars and researchers seeking to undertake new work at the many intersections of landscape and food. Each chapter provides an authoritative overview, a broad range of pertinent readings and references, and seeks to identify areas where new research is neededâthough these may also be identified in the many fertile areas in which subjects and chapters overlap within the book.Trade Review"Waterman and Zeunert have edited an exemplary interdisciplinary volume of great topical scope and profound conceptual depth. From landscape to seascape, Neolithic and Aboriginal to modern and globalized, the ecological to the utopian, The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food offers culinary wisdom, sociological analysis and ethical guidance. It is an indispensable book which promises to inaugurate a new epoch of both culinary and landscape studies."Allen S. Weiss, author of Zen Landscapes (Reaktion Books) and Feast and Folly (State University of New York Press)"In The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food, Joshua Zeunert and Tim Waterman present core samples of the many scales and systems engaged by food, food production, and food distribution. Their collection of essays ranges from the broadest historical survey to the focused case study across geographies and cultures, methods, and fields of studies. With an eye to landscape ecology as well as space and urban form, they hopscotch across conservation, economics, geography, gender studies, forestry, and public health. Complementing a long list of literature on urban agriculture and ideals of cultivation, the book also realigns the gravitational pull of the Anglo-American debate to include numerous Australian perspectives. This kaleidoscopic volume will appeal to the curious amateur and offer a starting point for further research to those concerned with the productive landscape."Dorothée Imbert, Professor, Hubert C. Schmidt '38 Chair in Landscape Architecture, Landscape Architecture Section Head"The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food is a timely answer to the growing interest in these subjects. It provides an authoritative and cross-disciplinary overview and stimulating discussions of a broad range of topics related to food and landscape studies and the diversity in concepts and approaches applied therein. The Handbook also discusses the various contexts in which cities, agriculture and landscape are developing and the related challenges. It outlines possible ways to remake foodways, landscapes, cities, and the values we bring to them." Ir.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Augmented and Mixed Reality for Communities
Book SynopsisUsing mixed and augmented reality in communities is an emerging media practice that is reshaping how we interact with our cities and neighbors. From the politics of city hall to crosswalks and playgrounds, mixed and augmented reality will offer a diverse range of new ways to interact with our communities. In 2016, apps for augmented reality politics began to appear in app stores. Similarly, the blockbuster success of PokÃmon Go illustrated how even forgotten street corners can become a magical space for play. In 2019, a court case in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, extended first amendment rights to augmented reality. For all the good that these emerging media provide, there will and have been consequences. Augmented and Mixed Reality for Communities will help students and practitioners navigate the ethical design and development of these kinds of experiences to transform their cities. As one of the first books of its kind, each chapter in the book prepares readers to contribute to the Augmented City. By providing insight into how these emerging media work, the book seeks to democratize the augmented and mixed reality space.Authors within this volume represent some of the leading scholars and practitioners working in the augmented and mixed reality space for civic media, cultural heritage, civic games, ethical design, and social justice. Readers will find practical insights for the design and development to create their own compelling experiences. Teachers will find that the text provides in-depth, critical analyses for thought-provoking classroom discussions. Table of ContentsPART 1: THE BODY IN THE XR COMMUNITY.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Chemistry and Mechanism of Art Materials
Book SynopsisThis unique book presents an integrated approach to the chemistry of art materials, exploring the many chemical processes involved. The Chemistry and Mechanism of Art Materials: Unsuspected Properties and Outcomes engages readers with historical vignettes detailing examples of unexpected outcomes due to materials used by known artists. The book discusses artists' materials focusing on relevant chemical mechanisms which underlie the synthesis and deterioration of inorganic pigments in paintings, the ageing of the binder in oil paintings, and sulfation of wall paintings as well as the toxicology of these pigments and solvents used by artists. Mechanisms illustrate the stepwise structural transformation of a variety of art materials. Based on the author's years of experience teaching college chemistry, the approach is descriptive and non-mathematical throughout.

Taylor & Francis Architecture State Modernism and Cultural
Book SynopsisThis book is the first comprehensive investigation of the architecture of the apartheid state in the period of rapid economic growth and political repression from 1957 to 1966 when buildings took on an ideological role that was never remote from the increasingly dominant administrative, legislative and policing mechanisms of the regime. It considers how this process reflected the usurpation of a regional modernism and looks to contribute to wider discourses on international postwar modernism in architecture. Buildings in Pretoria that came to embody ambitions of the apartheid state for industrialisation and progress serve as case studies. These were widely acclaimed projects that embodied for apartheid officials the pursuit of modernisation but carried latent apprehensions of Afrikaners about their growing economic prospects and cultural estrangement in Africa. It is a less known and marginal story due to the dearth of material and documents buried in archives and untranslateTrade Review"In this new book, Hilton Judin tells the story of the unlikely marriage in postwar South Africa between the reactionary racism of the apartheid system and the technocratic, future-orientated utopianism of modernist architecture. In recent years, the distinctive forms of postwar modernism spawned by totalitarian communist regimes have been thoroughly investigated, but Judin’s book resoundingly fills in a glaring gap in knowledge at the other end of the ideological spectrum. It shows how modernist ideals and technologies, and grand, futuristic public building complexes – developed in alliance with an Afrikaner nationalism that also paradoxically concerned itself with researching ‘Bantu vernacular tradition’ - fuelled the mushrooming confidence and prosperity of the apartheid regime, and helped prolong its survival."Miles Glendinning, Professor of Architectural Conservation and Director, Scottish Centre for Conservation Studies, University of Edinburgh"In the increasingly precise cartography of the relationship between reactionary regimes and architecture, the policies of Apartheid South Africa had remained – appropriately, so to say, a white spot. Through a series of delicately carved case studies, Hilton Judin has brilliantly mapped the programs through which white supremacism has grounded its architectural expression – from the buildings for atomic research and science to the suburbs planned for the oppressed majority. Thanks to his rigorous investigation, this missing chapter of 20th century architecture is now open for further interpretation."Jean-Louis Cohen, Sheldon H. Solow Professor in the History of Architecture, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University "Hilton Judin’s book gives a critical account of Pretoria’s architecture in the 20th century focusing specifically on the period from the 1950s to the 1980s, covering the early to the late apartheid era in South Africa. In this volume Judin is able to explore the ‘psyche’ of the Nationalist government who commissioned the architecture which ultimately became the most effective physical symbol of the apartheid state, its policies, hopes and ideals in its most influential era… A must read for students and historians of Pretoria who seek to understand how the city's planning and physical structures were central to the promotion of the apartheid project in South Africa."Ola Uduku, Liverpool School of Architecture, University of LiverpoolTable of ContentsIntroduction: "South Africa Builds …" 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Visual and Cultural Identity Constructs of Global
Book SynopsisThis collection brings together the ideas of key global scholars focusing on the lives of youth and young adults, examining their visual and cultural identity constructs.Embracing an international perspective encompassing the Global North and Global South, chapters explore expressions and performances of youth and young adults as shifting and entangled, in and through the clothed body, gender, sexuality, race, artistic and pedagogical making practices, in spaces and places, framed by new materialism, social media, popular and material culture. The overarching emphasis of the collection is on youth and young adults' strategies for engaging in and with the world, becoming a someone, and belonging, in settings that include a juvenile arbitration program, an artist community, high schools, universities, families and social media.This truly interdisciplinary and international collection will have resonance not just within cultural and media studies, but also in education, aTrade Review"Fiona Blaikie has assembled and edited an excellent international collection. The book highlights how youth navigate tensions between marginalities, lived realities, and the demands of school, work and family; how they ‘story’ their everyday lives, including through place-, meme-, and video-making; and their experiences of profound exclusions around race, gender and sexuality. This book feels fresh and urgent as Blaikie has ensured that diverse young people’s viewpoints and experiences figure prominently, discussed through cutting-edge critical and new materialist theorizing. The prominence of arts-based methodologies is also exciting; the art is innovative, moving, instructive and often enmeshed in the entire fabric of a chapter. I love this collection and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in current youth studies."- Rebecca Raby, Brock University, Canada"This collection has multiple dimensions. It contributes to debates about the geopolitics of knowledge-production by attending closely to the importance of contexts around the world. It engages with the gendered interest in subjectivities and meaning-making by introducing non-human elements and the theoretical encouragements of postmaterialism to add further complexity and angle to our understanding. It invites readers to use new concepts such as worlding to expand their appreciation of the narratives that people develop to explain themselves. It expands a lexicon of gender and of ways of seeing and looking and asks us to embrace senses, celebrating as it does, creativity, difference, light and colour."- Robert Morrell, University of Cape Town, South Africa"This wisely edited volume brings together a distinguished, visionary and international group of scholars engaging with some of the most significant and pressing social and cultural questions of our time. The contributors to this volume boldly orient readers to environments and expressive forms shaping people’s everyday lives within a global context. I am confident that this collection of essays will inform current and future thinking by those concerned with the creation, interrogation and dissemination of expressive culture."Doug Blandy, University of Oregon, USA"Fiona Blaikie’s edited anthology takes us into contemporary youth cultures through humanistic research across international contexts. These research narratives embody the voices of young people who speak about nuanced sites of engagement and belonging on their own terms from emic true-to-life perspectives. Simultaneously, these chapters also create new spaces for research and researchers, pioneering sites of reflexivity and representation which engender respect and communion rather than "othering." Blaikie’s keen insights and choices in the curation of these poignant accounts reveal young adult perspectives of authentic being, providing entry into participant worlds heretofore unexplored."- Christine Staikidis, University of Northern Illinois, USA"Visual and Cultural Identity Constructs of Global Youth is an anthology of the world worlding, such as youth (re)enacting with/in social media sites, schools for boys in Canada and young women in India navigating how to dress in the male-dominated engineering classrooms or girls redressing themselves in U.S. juvenile arbitration—all blending the material/physicality of embodied affect and the semiotics (sign systems of language and images) of being in and of the world. Visual and Cultural Identity Constructs of Global Youth explores what matters today to youth and young adults in the process of fostering new ontological dispositions of being and belonging in the world that counter the current socio-political agendas of hate, bullying, sexism, racism, and religious persecution. The stories matter because they attend to specific experience, place, encounters, and active engagement with the materiality of context inseparable from semiotic constructs. The anthology is a must-read primer on non-representational new materialism theory to consider how the world is affecting youth and how youth are affecting the world, and to generate speculative fabulations of possible ethical futures."- Karen Keifer-Boyd, The Pennsylvania State University, USA"Dr. Blaikie is to be congratulated for bringing together such a thoughtful collection of diverse voices, revealing the complexities and nuances of youth life and learning in a global context. Surprisingly, little research has been done pertaining to the communities of youth given attention in this book. Dr. Blaikie and her colleagues bring marginalized youth to the center of the discussion, which could push such research forward in important ways. The collection has some absolute gems, like O’Donoghue’s and Ringrose’s investigations of masculinities, Ivashkevich’s chapter on adjudicated girls, and McLaughlin-Alcock’s look at artists in Jordan among others. After conducting decades of youth research inside schools and out, this collection caused me to think about potential new projects, which is my criterion for the best thing a book can do for a researcher."- Kerry Freedman, Northern Illinois University, USA"This wonderful collection of international and inter-disciplinary chapters offer youth researchers new ways of doing situated, ethical, political and response-able research on mediated youth cultures. From re-storying belonging via poetic inquiry with refugee youth to addressing the embodied traumas of idealised classed and racialised femininity through digital media making with young women in a first-time offender programme, each chapter moves and transports the reader to engage with some complex micro-assemblages of youth culture across diverse spaces and places. Collectively the chapters also powerfully illustrate the necessity and challenge of weaving critical post-theories with art-ful methodologies that make the more-than of how research praxis can build to in-form more equitable worldings of a youth justice to come.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contentious Cities
Book SynopsisContentious Cities offers unique interdisciplinary approaches to understanding gendered spatial equity in the urban environment. Positioning design as a central component in how cities produce, construct, represent and materialise gendered spatial practices, it brings together practice and theory to critique, question and enable solutions that challenge the root causes of gender inequalities in cities.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Institutional Transformations
Book SynopsisFormal and informal institutions structure our social interactions by giving rise to normative expectations and patterns of collective behaviour. This collection grapples with how affect, imagination, and embodiment can operate to either constrain or enable the justice of institutions and the experiences of specific social identities.This anthology explores the myriad ways institutions work to systematically disadvantage people with particular identities whilst privileging others, and considers the legal, political, and normative interventions that might serve to promote a more just society. Taken together, the chapters represent the scope of existing research within institutional theory, affect theory, race theory, and theories of social imaginaries. Across a range of topics (human rights, racial and sexual violence, transitional justice and democratic movements) this collection critically assesses the extent to which theorists have attended to the conjoined influence of theTable of ContentsIntroductionDanielle Celermajer, Millicent Churcher, Moira Gatens and Anna Hush 1.

Taylor & Francis Politics in the Monuments of Pompey the Great and
Book SynopsisThis book explores the diachronic development of the ideological content of Pompey and Caesarâs monuments in Rome, emphasising the importance of the late Republican period as a precursor to imperial propaganda through architecture. In the final years of the Roman Republic, individuals such as Pompey the Great and Julius Caesar exploited the communicative power of architecture. The former promoted the first and largest stone theatre in Rome; the latter started comprehensive town-planning projects that arguably verged on the utopian. Yet the study of the politics expressed by these monuments and how complex late Republican politics shaped the monuments themselves has attracted less attention than that of subsequent imperial architecture. Zampieri addresses this imbalance, exploring the ideological meaning of late Republican monuments and highlighting that monuments were fluid, adaptable entities, even in the lifespan of a single individual. Accompanied by detailed maps and images, this volume shows how late Republican architecture should be considered an important source for understanding politics of this period.Politics in the Monuments of Pompey the Great and Julius Caesar will be of use to anyone working on the politics and social world of the late Roman Republic, and on Roman architecture and patronage.

Taylor & Francis Sensory Theatre
Book SynopsisSensory Theatre: How to Make Interactive, Inclusive, Immersive Theatre for Diverse Audiences by a Founder of Oily Cart is an accessible step-by-step guide to creating theatre for inclusive audiences, such as young people on the autism spectrum or affected by other neuro-divergent conditions and children under two.Conventional theatre relies on seeing and hearing to involve its audience; sensory theatre harnesses the power of five or more senses to address its participants who have different ways of relating to the world around them. This book is an insightful history of Oily Cart and its pioneering development of work for the very young, including Baby Theatre, and for neuro-divergent audiences including those on the autism spectrum. It gives a clear introduction to the fundamental concepts of this theatre, suggests a host of practical techniques drawn from over forty years of experience, and describes some of Oily Cart's most radical innovations, including theatre oTrade Review"An invaluable exploration of sensory theatre seen through the perspective of one of its most important developers, Oily Cart co-founder, Tim Webb. Both an historical perspective and a practical "how to" approach, the book gloriously celebrates the power of theatre, particularly when theatre makers look beyond traditional theatrical borders, to engage with participants (audiences) in multisensory ways. It asks readers to broaden their definition of what constitutes a story and the ways to perform it. While most applicable for theatre makers interested in creating inclusive performances, it also speaks to all theatre makers, reminding us to re-engage with how we approach our theatre making endeavors, being more mindful of the diversity of our audiences not only in their backgrounds and experiences, but with how they engage sensorially with the world. I do not think it hyperbolic to say this is perhaps the most important theatre book to be published in recent years."Dr. Teresa A Fisher, producer of New Plays for Young Audiences and author of Post-Show Discussions in New Play DevelopmentTable of ContentsPart 1: The development of Sensory Theatre 1.

Shaped into being by historical forcesâcultural, aesthetic, and technicalâthe song provides both performer and audience with a world marked off by a short, discrete, and temporally demarcated experience. One-Track Mind: Capitalism, Technology, and the Art of the Pop Song brings together 16 writers to weigh in on 16 iconic tracks from the history of modern popular music. Arranged chronologically in order of release of the tracks, and spanning nearly five decades, these essays zigzag across the cultural landscape to present one possible history of pop music. There are detours through psychedelic rock, Afro-pop, Latin pop, glam rock, heavy metal, punk, postpunk, adult contemporary rock, techno, hip-hop, and electro-pop here. More than just deep histories of individual songs, these essays all expand far beyond the track itself to offer exciting and often counterintuitive histories of transformative moments in popular culture. Collectively, they show the undiminished power of the individual pop song, both as distillations of important flashpoints and, in their afterlives, as ghostly echoes that persist undiminished but transform for succeeding generations. Capitalism and its principal good, capital, help us frame these stories, a fact that should surprise no one given the inextricable relationship between art and capitalism established in the twentieth century. At the root, readers will find here a history of pop with unexpected plot twists, colorful protagonists, and fitting denouements.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Design for Fragility
Book SynopsisThe demand is now urgent for architects to respond to the design and planning challenges of rebuilding cities and landscapes being destroyed by civil conflict, (un)natural disasters, political instability, and poverty. The number of people fleeing their homes and being displaced by such conflict now totals almost 100 million. Despite the massive human and physical costs of these crises, the number of architects, planners, and landscape architects equipped to work with disaster and development professionals in rebuilding in the aftermath of conflict, floods, fires, earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis remains chronically low. Design for Fragility expands the nascent, but rapidly growing field of humanitarian architecture by exploring 13 design responses to such conflict and displacement across 11 countries, including Australia, Bangladesh, Fiji, India, Iran, Pakistan, and the USA. Linked to this displacement is the systemic poverty that often lingers from previous colonial terrTrade Review"Confronted with the intersecting crises of climate breakdown, rising authoritarianism, increasing social inequalities and mass migration, the architectural profession urgently needs to look to new ways of working. Design for Fragility provides very useful insights into how more responsible and equitable design might unfold within current precarious conditions."Jeremy Till, Professor of Architecture, University of the Arts London"Designing for a fragile world inherently means designing for dignity and hope.These outstanding projects testify of how humanitarian architecture upholds the values of our profession, linking entire communities to the prospects of better lives. Whether these are schools withstanding floods or cyclones, maternal wards welcoming newborns in healthier conditions or designing shelter for refugees or indigenous populations, all contribute to building pathways to protect and empower the most unprivileged.The book is a source of inspiration of what can be achieved despite disasters and crises. As long as the problems remain endless, so do the solutions."Sandra D’Urzo, Humanitarian Architect"Design for Fragility offers a wonderful selection of projects that exemplify that people-centered design is more than a tool and, that when it is implemented in ‘fragile’ contexts, it can provoke change, enhance dignity, and promote inclusion. The diverse typology of projects and the reflections of the architects regarding their design process and methodologies which delve into achieving community involvement, offer a useful and relevant guide for future professionals of the built environment that want to make a difference through their work."Dr. Carmen Mendoza Arroyo, Director of the Master of International Cooperation Sustainable Emergency Architecture "In the introduction to this book, Brett Moore, Global Shelter Cluster Lead queried ‘Why aren’t architects active in these issues? Has our social agenda been lost?’ The authors - Esther Charlesworth and John Fien - are ideally qualified to assemble their positive answer to this challenge by including thirteen well selected examples of architectural projects under the themes of children, health, housing and justice. Beautifully designed and illustrated, Design for Fragility is a welcome companion to Esther’s 2014 landmark text: Humanitarian Architecture. The result is essential reading for any architect, landscape architect and planner with a concern to meet acute needs by the application of their compassion, skills and experience to the deepening problems of social displacement and the scale and complexity of reconstruction."Professor Ian Davis, author of Shelter after Disaster (1978)Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Design and Spirituality A Philosophy of Material
Book SynopsisDesign and Spirituality examines the philosophical context of our current situation. It explores how modernity and our highly constricted notions of progress, have contributed to today’s crisis of values.Trade Review"If the path to spiritual integrity lies through the way we use material things, every aspect of our relation to what is around us is significant. The challenge for us as human beings is to work out how we live humanly, taking our part in a larger and more mysterious set of processes – not trying to stand above or outside the world that makes us real. In a mixture of reflection, recollection and poetry, Stuart Walker anchors us in that ‘real world’ – so different from what we often mean by the phrase – and reintroduces us to our physical and spiritual selves."Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury, author of ‘The Way of St Benedict’"Stuart Walker takes us on a captivating journey through places and times where he addresses what might be at the very core of the next revolution: spirituality and imagination. Design and Spirituality is highly refreshing, thought provoking and a most needed game-changer in the field of sustainable design. As a designer and researcher, I was thrilled by the challenging and inspiring form of the manuscript that demonstrates how design ways can also extend to academic writing. While recognizing and celebrating diversified worldviews, Walker shares with us a unique and profound reflection on the place objects occupy, and could occupy, in our lives. This book addresses critical aspects of dominant material cultures and the associated devastating production-consumption systems. It offers rare insights for designers by exploring alternative approaches to the world of objects, including ones that can lead to human fulfillment.I haven’t read anything like this in the field. It is about time that design - and other disciplines that share in its early history of the industrial revolution - delve into the important body of knowledge that age-old spiritual and wisdom traditions have to offer.Design and Spirituality is a wonderful and timely read, yet a work that will undoubtedly become timeless."Anne Marchand, Associate Vice-Rector, Research, Discovery, Creation & Innovation, Université de Montréal "In these short essays, Stuart Walker stimulates us to think more deeply about both design and the daily objects we take for granted. He argues that these are not just technical issues. They need to be considered in relation to wider questions about the kind of society we want to live in, the values we want to live by and in the end what we think and feel about the mystery of human existence."Richard Harries, former Bishop of Oxford, author of ‘Art and the Beauty of God’"This book is timely and important. Many professions are making a turn to spirituality to engage questions of sustainability, ethics, authenticity and integrity in their practice. This book addresses such questions with depth and creative insight for those working in architecture and design."Bernadette Flanagan, Chair, Spirituality Institute for Research and Education (SpIRE), Ireland"This book is a wonderful example of how creativity and imagination that emerge from the academic study of design show the way to spirituality and to values of meaning and purpose, reconciling these two paths of knowledge."Rossano Zas Friz De Col, SJ, Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome"Design and Spirituality explores the realm of meaning and symbolism, bringing back a transcendental dimension of humanity that has been eroded from our professional environments in the modern Western world. Through the lens of spirituality, Walker challenges us to look beyond the surface of our material existence to access the infinite layers of beauty and wisdom available to all who dare to seek. Walker shows that, despite cultural and philosophical differences, we all share universal truths. Design and Spirituality opens a new era and vision for design well suited to the new societies we envision, calling us to transcend our creative concern – from commodity to communion, from despair to hope, from fate to destiny."Laura Santamaria, Director, Design and Culture, Loughborough University London"We should renew our material culture to be more ecological and human-centered. By bringing spirituality into the discourse, Stuart Walker’s book is an excellent contribution to the accomplishment of this urgent task."Laszlo Zsolnai, President, European Spirituality in Economics & Society Institute (SPES), Leuven, Belgium"This book provides a holistic picture of a novel way of how design can be informed by the past to move into the future. It provides a practical and pragmatistic direction towards the kind of sustainability that is necessary to solve unsustainability. To have a tenured veteran engaged in this type of thinking and research carves out a meaningful space for early career researchers to be bolder with their own research and practice."Spyros Bofylatos, Adjunct Lecturer, Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering, University of the Aegean, Greece"Design and Spirituality embodies a series of inspiring and ingenious essays that explore and reconnect design and spirituality through the layers of interrelated topics involving the realities of everyday life through critical reflection, thus deepening and reaffirming the essence of design for sustainability. Design and Spirituality conveys ideas creatively and influentially, delving into the underlying social, cultural and environmental issues and presents an alternative medium of communication and discussion for design-related considerations, which is a fundamental source for designers, educators and researchers."Çağla Doğan, Professor of Industrial Design, METU, Ankara, Turkey"On the whole, this book is an interesting and inspiring read for anyone interested in connections between design, material culture and spirituality."Diane Hockridge, Journal of Religion, Media and Digital CultureTable of ContentsForeword 1.

Taylor & Francis Reintroducing Materials for Sustainable Design
Book SynopsisReintroducing Materials for Sustainable Design provides instrumental theory and practical guidance to bring materials back into a central role in the design process and education.To create designs that are sustainable and respond to current environmental, economic and cultural concerns, practitioners and educators require a clear framework for materials use in design and product manufacturing. While much has been written about sustainable design over the last two decades, outlining systems of sustainability and product criteria, to design for material circularity requires a detailed understanding of the physical matter that constitutes products.

Our current material ecology puts is threatening ecology that makes life possible on this planet, and the deep reflection from a designer like Mette gives hope to the discipline and the practice.

Taylor & Francis Ethical Agility in Dance
Book SynopsisThis edited collection examines the potential of dance training for developing socially engaged individuals capable of forging ethical human relations for an ever-changing world and in turn frames dance as a fundamental part of human experience.This volume draws together a range of critical voices to reflect the inclusive potential of dance. The contributions offer perspectives on contemporary dance training in Britain from dance educators, scholars, practitioners and artists. Through examining the politics, values and ethics of learning dance today, this book argues for the need of a re-assessment of the evolving practices in dance training and techniques. Key questions address how the concept of âtechniqueâ and associated systems of training in dance could be redefined to enable the collaboration of skills and application of ideas necessary to twenty-first-century dance.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Freelance Photographers Guide To Success
Book SynopsisGrounded in real-life experiences and scenarios, this practical guide offers editorial, non-profit, foundation, and corporate photographers an honest and insightful approach to running a freelance photography business. Pulling from thirty years of experience as a freelance photographer, veteran Todd Bigelow presents a timely and detailed account of the methods and tactics best used to navigate and succeed in the profession. He explores the topics that define the business of freelancing, including: analyzing photography contracts; creating and maintaining an image archive; licensing for revenue; client development; registering for copyright; combating copyright infringement; and understanding tax issues, freelance business structures, and more. Chapters feature examples of real contract clauses and emails to better prepare readers for the practical daily activities that are essential to growing a success business. Likewise, Bigelow shares conversational anecdotes througTrade ReviewTodd has not only proven himself to be a talented photojournalist, but his teachings in the areas of the business of photography are exceptional.Todd was on our faculty at NPPA's Northern Short Course for several years and he presented multiple business of photography sessions to attendees of our three-day photojournalism conference. The reviews from those in attendance were overwhelmingly positive, with one person telling me that what he learned in one three-hour session taught by Todd was worth the tuition price for the entire workshop!I'd highly recommend his book to anyone interested in learning about the business of photography.John WalkerFormer ChairNational Press Photographers Association, Northern Short CourseThe most important element in a relationship between a photo editor and photographer is trust. When a photo editor picks up the phone and assigns a photographer, they have already placed their faith in the photographer's ability to come home with the goods. There has yet to be an assignment in the close to twenty years of my relationship with Todd Bigelow where he didn't come home with the goods. He is fully aware of what his client needs. Not only does he deliver but he will give the client something extra. There have been many photographs that Todd has taken on his own during an assignment that were far superior to those he was instructed to shoot.James K. ColtonFormer Director of Photography, NewsweekFormer Picture Editor, Sports IllustratedIn my opinion, Todd’s knowledge of the freelance world and willingness to share are a great resource for new photographers. I believe his hands-on industry experience and practical advice could be a huge help to anyone considering a career in freelance photography.Cristina MarkarianProgram RepresentativeUCLA Extension, Department of the ArtsAfter spending more than 20 years as a staff photographer for the Los Angeles Times, I moved to the east coast and embarked on a career as a freelancer. I was immediately lost and overwhelmed by running my own business. Todd’s lessons about how to effectively run my business – from meeting and maintaining clients to billing to image archiving – have proved invaluable. His insights and advice set me on a path to success in the business part of photography that up to that point I’d had zero exposure to as a staffer. He got me up to speed in no time.Rick LoomisFormer Los Angeles Times Staff PhotographerPulitzer Prize Recipient, 2007Todd Bigelow has written a must-read business guide for anyone considering earning their living as a freelance photographer.
