  • Palgrave MacMillan UK Fair Play Art Performance and Neoliberalism Performance Interventions

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book asks what is the quality of participation in contemporary art and performance? Has it been damaged by cultural policies which have 'entrepreneurialized' artists, cut arts funding and cultivated corporate philanthropy? Has it been fortified by crowdfunding, pop-ups and craftsmanship? And how can it help us to understand social welfare?Trade Review"At once balanced and uncompromising, Fair Play: Art, Performance and Neoliberalism provides a clear sighted look at the negotiations artists have to make, and the interventions they continue to make, in the neoliberal landscape of contemporary London. It's a bracing read." - Ric Knowles, Professor of Theatre Studies, University of Guelph, Canada '...we witness another kind of political performance at work on the part of Harvie as a passionate and skilled cultural materialist critic. In Fair Play, Harvie models for scholars, for artists, for activists how we might participate with open eyes, make situated arguments to policymakers, and work with the material specificities of performance to craft more equitable futures.' - Laura Levin, Contemporary Theatre Review 'Because Harvie is driven by the dialectic inherent in this pairing, the book is admirably balanced. It asks readers to weigh the evidence, and to think about how the arts are and are not better off and how we, as humans living in a world made more humane by art, are and are not better off under the status quo. Fair Play ultimately makes a strong yet never depressing case for the 'not,' and Harvie leaves us with real hope that something can be done.' - Kim Solga, Theatre Survey '[This] book is a vital read for all scholars of contemporary performance, particularly those concerned with socially engaged art and performance.' - Claire Bowler, New Theatre Quarterly 'Fair Play is a bold and confident book, its argument incisive yet hopeful... The rich range of examples that the chapters explore - organized as interrogations of labor, entrepreneurialism, location, and economics - are drawn chiefly from London, but her concerns about the incursions of neoliberal capitalism speak to us all.' - Susan Bennett, Theatre Journal 'The book is engaging and develops fluidly, articulating its theoretical voice, interspersed with artistic examples which both illuminate the points made and provide an opportunity to revisit notable work, exploring their material surroundings and contextualising them in an age of neoliberalism.' - Natalie Lee, The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance 'So having established that Harvie's book, Fair Play: Art, performance and neoliberalism, is a timely intervention, I wish also to stress what an excellent and fair-minded approach she takes to the analyses of her topics.' - Janelle Reinelt, Performance ResearchTable of ContentsIntroduction: Fair Play 1. Labour: Participation, Delegation and Deregulation 2. The 'Artrepreneur': Artists and Entrepreneurialism 3. Space: Exclusion and Engagement 4.

  • Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Changing Things

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisMany of the things we now live with do not take a purely physical form. Objects such as smart phones, laptops and wearable fitness trackers are different from our things of the past. These new digital forms are networked, dynamic and contextually configured. They can be changeable and unpredictable, even inscrutable when it comes to understanding what they actually do and whom they really serve.In Changing Things, Johan Redstrom and Heather Wiltse address critical questions that have assumed a fresh urgency in the context of these rapidly-developing forms. Drawing on critical traditions from a range of disciplines that have been used to understand the nature of things, they develop a new vocabulary and a theoretical approach that allows us to account for and address the multi-faceted, dynamic, constantly evolving forms and functions of contemporary things. In doing so, the book prototypes a new design discourse around everyday things, and describes them as ''fluid assemblages''.Trade ReviewReading Changing Things, you have the sense that until this book, we have been drifting when it comes to digital interaction design, inadequately translating how we make physical things to a realm with very different dynamics. Wiltse and Redstrom offer not just a guide for designers crafting coherent interactions in connected and flowing contexts, but the beginnings of an ontology of digitally-enabled or -located experiences. * Cameron Tonkinwise, Professor of Interdisciplinary Design at the University of Technology, Sydney *Things have never been stable. Yet, they have never been as fluid as they are today. By enriching our understanding of contemporary objects, Redström and Wiltse offer designers a new vocabulary to discuss how things exist and are expressed in a digital world. * Elisa Giaccardi, Professor and Chair of Interactive Media Design at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands *In Changing Things, Redström and Wiltse develop a critical, rich and compelling new theory of things that is essential for thinking, designing and living in a digital age. Their concept of fluid assemblages is a vital contribution for making sense of the networked and dynamic nature of designed digital things today as well as in the multiple possible futures that we may design. Most importantly, they invite us to join the conversation, paying close attention to the ways in which our shifting relations with things are as important as those we have with one another. * Laura Forlano, Associate Professor of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology, USA *Table of Contents1.
