    Book SynopsisJohn Dewey is known as a pragmatic philosopher and progressive architect of American educational reform, but some of his most important contributions came in his thinking about art. Dewey argued that there is strong social value to be found in art, and it is artists who often most challenge our preconceived notions. Dewey for Artists shows us how Dewey advocated for an art of democracy. Identifying the audience as co-creator of a work of art by virtue of their experience, he made space for public participation. Moreover, he believed that societies only becomeand remaintruly democratic if its citizens embrace democracy itself as a creative act, and in this he advocatedfor the social participation of artists. Throughout the book, Mary Jane Jacob draws on the experiences of contemporary artists who have modeled Dewey's principles within their practices. We see how their work springs from deeply held values. We see, too, how carefully considered curatorial practice can addr

  • Quick Hits for Teaching with Digital Humanities

    Indiana University Press Quick Hits for Teaching with Digital Humanities

    Book SynopsisQuick Hits for Teaching with Digital Humanities is an edited collection of 24 articles that aims to introduce faculty, administrators, and staff to ways in which digital techniques from the arts, humanities, and social sciences can be incorporated in the classroom.Trade Review"At this moment when all of us, suddenly, have become teachers in the digital space, this volume provides the kinds of hands on, practical advice educators need to navigate the complexities of teaching in the digital humanities. Ten years ago, half of the topics covered in these essays wouldn't even be topics of discussion, but today are part of our regular teaching practices. None of us will ever master all aspects of DH teaching, but taken together, the essays in this volume come close."—Mills Kelly, Executive Director of Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media and Professor of History, George Mason University"I'm not sure I can". "I'm not sure my students can."I don't think I'd know where to begin"I don't really see the point, to be honest". Decades after the emergence of digital humanities, the field can still seem daunting to outsiders and integration to teaching projects remains uneven. That's where this book comes in, presenting a variety of ambitious yet accessible, real-life projects to inspire and embolden. A stepping stone to a new dimension."—Géraldine Castel, Lecturer in English LEA (Applied Foreign Languages), Grenoble Alpes University"Featuring a wide variety of examples from educators from across higher-ed, this Quick Hits volume is as useful to educators looking to develop digital humanities classes as it is to more advanced practitioners interested in integrating the latest tools and approaches. By highlighting field-tested methods in digital humanities teaching, the essays collected here will greatly enrich scholars' ability to enhance their curricular interventions, both conceptually and methodologically."—Marisa Parham, University of Maryland, Director of irLhumanitiesTable of ContentsEdward L.

  • Patronizing the Arts

    Princeton University Press Patronizing the Arts

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisWhat is the role of the arts in American culture? Is art an essential element? If so, how should we support it? Today, as in the past, artists need the funding, approval, and friendship of patrons whether they are individuals, corporations, governments, or nonprofit foundations. But as Patronizing the Arts shows, these relationships can be problematic, leaving artists patronized--both supported with funds and personal interest, while being condescended to for vocations misperceived as play rather than serious work. In this provocative book, Marjorie Garber looks at the history of patronage, explains how patronage has elevated and damaged the arts in modern culture, and argues for the university as a serious patron of the arts. With clarity and wit, Garber supports rethinking prejudices that oppose art''s role in higher education, rejects assumptions of inequality between the sciences and humanities, and points to similarities between the making of fine art and the making of good science. She examines issues of artistic and monetary value, and transactions between high and popular culture. She even asks how college sports could provide a new way of thinking about arts funding. Using vivid anecdotes and telling details, Garber calls passionately for an increased attention to the arts, not just through government and private support, but as a core aspect of higher education. Compulsively readable, Patronizing the Arts challenges all who value the survival of artistic creation both in the present and future.Trade ReviewOne of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2009 "The title of Garber's erudite, incisive study contains the crux of her persuasive proposal: though financially supported by foundations, corporations and wealthy individuals, the arts are also deemed 'nonessential.'... Her stimulating analyses, both highly informed and refreshingly unpedantic, will be of great interest to the scholar and general reader who appreciates a salient cultural critique."--Publishers Weekly "Patronizing the Arts ... offers useful information graced with intermittent insight."--Jonathon Keats, Washington Post Book World "In this captivating book, Garber considers the alternative meanings of 'patronize' in reference to artistic endeavors and raises many interesting questions along the way. The central question regards the relationship between patron and artist that most effectively enhances the creative environment... Garber addresses these issues and more in a lively style that takes the reader from a consideration of government funding, to private philanthropy, to a reexamination of the nature of art and how it is created, powerfully arguing art's linkages with science. She finally advocates greater university support of artists, where visions can theoretically be realized in a setting of academic freedom and exploration."--Choice "Although replete with endnotes and intended for academics, Patronizing the Arts is no dry study. Garber peppers her work with literary passages, enlightening etymologies of key words, and derision. Garber is fighting an uphill battle in this book, advocating first for the arts' centrality to the research-driven university and second for their increased priority on university budgets already overwhelmed, especially as the current economic crisis deepens."--David Kaye, The Common ReviewTable of ContentsPreface xi Chapter 1: The Paradox of Patronage 1 Chapter 2: Governing Assumptions 42 Chapter 3: Minding the Business of Art 97 Chapter 4: Arts or Sciences 140 Chapter 5: The University as Patron 178 Notes 197 Index 221

  • Why Literary Periods Mattered  Historical

    MK - Stanford University Press Why Literary Periods Mattered Historical

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book explains how period survey courses became central to literary study in the nineteenth century, why they remained central in the twentieth, and why, in the digital age, they may now be giving ground to alternate models of literary history.Trade Review"Ted Underwood's Why Literary Periods Mattered considers the ways periodization has been an 'organizing principle' of 'Anglo-American literary culture since the early nineteenth century' (2–3), showing persuasively how the literary studies curriculum has been intertwined with intellectual models of romantic historicism . . . [I]t does expertly recover the specific ways literary curricula became consolidated in higher education, while outlining plausible reasons for an increasing skepticism toward ossified period categories."—Paul Giles, American Literature"[R]equired reading for anyone who loves literature . . . Why Literary Periods Mattered is an outstanding study and one that was needed. All academic libraries should own a copy and anyone interested in such topics as intellectual history, graduate students in literature, and those interested in specific figures as Sir Walter Scott and the lesser known figures Frederick Denison Maurice and Sydney Owenson, Lady Morgan (all of whom Underwood discusses at length and interestingly) will want to read it. Certainly, members of English Department hiring committees and heads of departments should read it."—Hope Leman, Critical Margins"A scholar of 18th- and 19th-century British literature, literary concepts, and machine learning, Underwood extends his scholarship on the quantitative approach to language with an examination of the history of the discipline of literary studies . . . This is a study for those serious about the discipline . . . Recommended."—M. Cole, CHOICE"Why Literary Periods Mattered is the best work on the discipline of English literary study that I've read since Gerald Graff's Professing Literature. Underwood offers fresh historical insight into the way English departments are now organized and invites us to imagine the ways in which they, and the research and scholarship they support, might be organized differently, in part through the qualitative possibilities of digital humanities and the 'gradualist' models of literary history they make possible."—Adam Potkay, The College of William and Mary"Blending case studies with broader judgments about the trajectories of British and American literature, Underwood's account of the relations between models of seamless evolution and those proposing a disruptive sequence of historical periods is a timely contribution to the current discussion of what periodization does and does not do, about whether we can imagine doing without it, and about what might take its place as an organizing principle of literary and cultural studies."—David Simpson, University of California at Davis"With a rising reputation in the digital humanities as well as some impressive print scholarship in Romanticism and the sciences, Underwood seems less discontented with the older ways of periodizing than he is eager to advance an aggressive new thesis wrapped in a well-mannered, often ingratiating style: the argument that the digital humanities make periodization, at long last, effectively a thing of the past."—Jon Klancher, Modern Language Quarterly"Perhaps the most fascinating section of this wonderfully surprising and unpredictable book is the treatment of the curricular development of the literature survey in mid-nineteenth century British universities."—Amanda Anderson, Victorian Studies

    Book SynopsisAwakening Creativity shows in gloriously illustrated detail how Lily Yeh guides a participatory process of artistic expression that uplifts a distressed community. Her open, joyful approach to artmaking is a model for building healthy cultural esteem. Lily Yeh is an acclaimed visual artist who has worked with students, community leaders and teachers in Canada, China, Ecuador, Ghana, Kenya, Syria, Italy and in cities and neighborhoods across the United States. Yeh is considered one of America's most innovative urban designers and social pioneers. Awakening Creativity is her first, much-awaited book. In Awakening Creativity, Yeh facilitates the art-making process for students of The Dandelion School, the only nonprofit organization in Beijing that serves the children of poor migrant workers coming from 24 provinces. Yeh worked with hundreds of students, teachers, volunteers and workers to transform the school's main campus with mural painting, mosaics, and environmental sculpture. StudTrade Review"""Creativity is a certain flare of spirit that is truly unlike anything else. Awakening Creativity: Dandelion School Blossoms is a call for social change through creativity from Lily Yeh, as she shares her own drive to make the world a better place through art and tells her story of turning a wasted factory space in Beijing into something that is so much more - the Dandelion school, aimed at the local children to give them inspiration for a better future. With a certain dedication, Awakening Creativity comes with a powerful message that definitely should not be overlooked."" * Midwest Book Review, 2011 *""Art is in all of us, and the best seek to encourage it in others. Awakening Creativity: Dandelion School Blossoms is a chronicle of author Lily Yeh's journeys, offered as an example for encourage art all over the world. Focusing on her campaign in China, where she got an abandoned factory converted to encourage local middle school students, and helped them find artistic expression. Presented in full color and plenty of example art works throughout, Awakening Creativity is a choice pick for any educational collection dedicated to promoting the arts."" * Midwest Book Review 2012 *""As a case study, Awakening Creativity is both inspirational and detailed... At every step from concept to completion, Yeh recruits members of the school community, including students, as genuine collaborators in the artistic process. The result is a series of works that reverberate throughout the lives of their co-creators. The art beautifies the campus, but its impact is far deeper: it gives students the skills and the inspiration to be active co-creators of their own lives."" -- Joseph Hart * Public Art Review *""Yeh’s book should be used as a model in run-down schools everywhere. It should be used in community development training and in every school of design. Her work is the best of what art can do to build the human spirit and make a community place. Thank you, Lily, for your work and for documenting it so carefully in this book."" -- Susan Goltsman * Children, Youth and Environments *""It is not often that a book can transport the reader to another place and time, but Yeh has done this successfully. By including color images on every page, the reader gets lost in the school and community and makes readers feel part of the project from the beginning. Yeh tells a captivating story."" -- Carolyn Brown Treadon * Journal of Art for Life *

  • Peace is Everyone's Business

    Information Age Publishing Peace is Everyone's Business

    Book SynopsisThe premise of this book is very simple. While acknowledging that much progress has been made since the end of World War II to improve life conditions for billions of people and reduce the likelihood of war, current global challenges threaten to undermine, undo, or even reverse much of the progress made. Growing political and social polarization, and the resultant increasing fear of each other, is on a trajectory that could cause unprecedented harm. The book illustrates how everyone can have an impact on peace and that many already do so in both constructive and negative ways, illustrated by many examples. The book offers an expansive view of peace, which includes promoting human rights, identifying and resolving situations of slow violence, working to promote fair and sustainable economic development, identifying and resolving injustices, and establishing institutions and practices for resolving conflicts by communicative means. The book especially focuses on the role universities can and should play in promoting peace. Universities, which have played a pivotal role in creating a more humane and just world through their research, teaching and scholarship, now face the challenge of thoughtfully examining how each discipline and vocation and the university as a whole can contribute to fostering peace. In general, universities help to prepare students actively to work for peace by cultivating their capacities at reasoning and reflecting, developing their skills in communicating and research, and fostering among them an active awareness of their responsibilities as citizens of the world. While not every discipline or vocation shares the same level of responsibility to advance peace, all have the potential to do so as they intentionally and thoughtfully look for avenues to do so.

Focuses on theoretical and pedagogical approaches to the teaching of African Literature on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. The publication of Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart in 1958 drew universal attention not only to contemporary African creative imagination, but also established the art of the modern African novel. In 1986, Wole Soyinka became the first African to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, and opened the 'gate' for other African writers. By the close of the 20th century, African Literature had gained world-wide acceptance and legitimacy in the academy and featured on the literature curriculum of schools and colleges across the globe. This specialissue of African Literature Today, examines the diverse experiences of teachers of African Literature across regional, racial, cultural and national boundaries. It explores such issues as student responses, productive pedagogical innovations, the impact of modern technology, case studies of online teaching, teaching Criticism of African Literature, and teaching African Literature in an age of multiculturalism. It is intended as an invaluable teacher's handbook and essential student companion for the effective study of African Literature.

    Book SynopsisThis book explores how arts-based programs designed to reconnect young people with learning and work provide brief, sometimes profound, re-engagements and productive identity shifts. It aims to support youth pushed to the edge of formal education and entangled in structural social and cultural inequality. The researchers, artists, activists, and youth organizations developed process-oriented practices with young people, enacting new creative methodologies building on agentive possibilities to disrupt misrepresentation and invisibility. The book positions arts-based practices at the edge, examining complex systemic issues around youth disengagement and possibilities of collective creativity to navigate broken systems and inform futures. Enacting arts-based methodologies with young people at the edge through co-design shares navigation out of locked trajectories in collaboration with those who listen deeply as allies in their journey of re-presenting themselves to the world. The final section reflects on arts-based practices at the edge eliciting standpoints of young people at the edge.https://link.springer.com/Trade Review“A key strength of this book is the clarity with which it advocates for greater consideration of the agentive and transformative possibilities opened up by creative methodologies that involve young people. The contributions offer inspiration for researchers and topics for further discussion and debate. … this work has utility for critical analysis and dialogue about the challenges in countering negative and homogenising representations, while at the same time inviting readers to consider transferable methodological models.” (Naomi Berman, Journal of Applied Youth Studies, Vol. 6, 2023)Table of ContentsPart I Positioning Arts-Based Practices at the Edge.- Chapter 1.

    Book SynopsisIst Gott in den Genen zu finden? Ist Religion göttlichen Ursprungs – oder doch ein natürliches, also biologisches Phänomen? Und wenn Religion in unserer Biologie angelegt ist, wie und warum ist sie entstanden? Wie sehen ihre Anfänge aus, die ja sehr einfach gewesen sein müssen – Religion im Einzellerstadium sozusagen! Wie entwickelte sie sich dann weiter, und lassen sich in dieser Entwicklung, wie bei der biologischen Evolution, Gesetzmäßigkeiten feststellen? Anders ausgedrückt: Gibt es eine Biologie der Religionen beziehungsweise eine Biologie der Religionsentstehung? Dieses Buch unternimmt erstmalig den Versuch einer umfassenden Antwort auf diese Fragen. Die Autoren – Experten aus Biologie, Paläontologie, Psychologie, Religionswissenschaft und Theologie – entwerfen auf der Basis fächerübergreifender wissenschaftlicher Befunde ein Modell der Religionsentstehung, das das Aufkommen religiöser Verhaltensweisen schlüssig aus dem natürlichen Verhaltensrepertoire des Menschen erklärt. So wird die menschheitsgeschichtliche Entwicklung von Religiosität plausibel und nachvollziehbar. Wer wissen will, wie Religion entstanden ist, wird in diesem breiten und sachkundigen Überblick die Antwort finden. _____ Die Götter fielen nicht vom Himmel – die biologischen Grundlagen der Religionsentstehung Religion ist ein universal verbreitetes Phänomen, und überall auf der Welt prägen religiöse Überzeugungen politisches und gesellschaftliches Handeln. Viele Menschen wollen verstehen, warum Religion trotz aller rationalen Kritik fortbesteht, und fragen deshalb auch nach ihren Anfängen und ihrer Entwicklung in der Menschheitsgeschichte. Götter – Gene – Genesis ist der ehrgeizige Versuch dreier interdisziplinär arbeitender Autoren, den Ursprung von Religion schlüssig und nachvollziehbar zu erklären. Ihr Buch verfolgt insofern einen originellen Ansatz, als es den aktuellen kognitionswissenschaftlichen und evolutionär-psychologischen Entwürfen zur Erklärung der Religionsentstehung eine ganz bewusst verhaltensorientierte Perspektive entgegensetzt: Religiöses Verhalten wird konsequent verhaltenswissenschaftlich – ethologisch, biologisch, psychologisch – erklärt. Entscheidende Faktoren für die frühe Entwicklung von Religiosität sind Territorialverhalten und Gefahrenabwehr, innerartliche Aggression und Ritualisierung, Angstbewältigung und Konfliktlösung sowie die kulturelle Evolution als Fortsetzung der biologischen Evolution. Mit der konsequenten Herausarbeitung der biologischen Grundlagen bietet das Buch einen Überblick zur Religionsentstehung, der sehr viel „bodenständiger“ und oft auch im Wortsinne „anschaulicher“ ist als manch andere, spekulative Entstehungsszenarien. Die Lektüre des Buches vermittelt dem Leser fundierte Kenntnisse über die Erscheinungsformen und Geschichte religiösen Verhaltens – und liefert so einen wichtigen Beitrag für die heute oft so emotional geführte Debatte zu Glaubensfragen. Trade Review“... Das Buch ist von einer Detailfülle historischer,ethnologischer und religionswissenschaftlicher Befunde geprägt, die durch zahlreiche Abbildungen, Fotos und Tafeln veranschaulicht werden. ... Das Buch trägt eine Vielzahl nützlicher Funktionen religiösen Verhaltens in verschiedenen Kulturen und Zeitaltern zusammen. ...

Ihre Werbeagenturen machten nicht nur Reklame, sie waren zudem Booker und Programmverantwortliche. Sie machten Jazz und Swing salonfähig, Sänger zu Popstars und entwickelten die allererste Chartshow. Die Werbung beherrschte nicht nur den Content, sie war sogar ein wichtiger Faktor für die Geburt der Plattenindustrie. Pinie Wang analysiert den Wandel der Musikindustrie aufgrund des Einflusses von Werbung – vom Zeitalter der Notenblätter bis hin zu Social Media.

Einzelaspekte der kopernikanischen Revolution wurden wiederholt untersucht, und ohne die daraus entstandenen Abhandlungen hätte dieses Buch nicht geschrieben werden können. Die Vielfalt der Umwälzungen übersteigt die Fähigkeiten des einzelnen Gelehrten, der die ursprünglichen Quellen studiert. Sowohl spezialisierte Untersuchungen als auch die darauf aufbauenden vereinfachenden Darstellungen verfehlen jedoch notwendiger­ weise einen der wichtigsten und faszinierendsten Züge der Revolution - ein Charakteristikum, das aus der Vielfalt der Umwälzung selbst entspringt. Wegen dieser Vielfalt bietet die kopernikanische Wende eine ideale Gelegenheit zu sehen, wie und mit welchem Ergebnis Vorstellungen aus vielen verschiedenen Gebieten sich zu einem einzigen Gedankengebäude zusammenfügen. Kopernikus selbst war ein Spezialist, ein mathematischer Astronom, der an der Korrektur esoterischer Methoden zur Berechnung von Planetenpositionen interessiert war. Oft war die Richtung seiner For­ schung jedoch durch Entwicklungen bestimmt, die mit der Astronomie nichts zu tun hatten. Darunter befanden sich die veränderte Darstellung des Falles von Steinen im Mittelalter, die Wiederbelebung mystischer, antiker Anschau­ ungen in der Renaissance, die die Sonne als das Abbild Gottes betrachteten, und die Atlantikreisen, die den Horizont des Menschen der Renaissance erweiterten.Table of Contents1 Das antike Universum.- 2 Das Planetenproblem.- 3 Das Zwei-Kugel-Universum im aristotelischen Denken.- 4 Der Wandel der Tradition: von Aristoteles zu Kopernikus.- 5 Kopernikus’ Neuerung.- 6 Die Assimilation der kopernikanischen Astronomie.- 7 Das neue Universum.- Technischer Anhang.- 1 Korrektur der Sonnenzeit.- 2 Das Vorrücken der Äquinoktien.- 3 Mondphasen und Verfinsterungen.- 4 Antike Messungen des Universums.- Anmerkungen.- Bibliographische Anmerkungen.

  • Utilizing Visual Representation in Educational

    Information Age Publishing Utilizing Visual Representation in Educational

    Book SynopsisThis edited volume focuses on visual and image-based methodologies that can be used to expand how educators approach, design, and innovate research for the purpose of informing and improving teaching and learning. Exploring how data can be utilized, collected, and rendered useful in the education arena is of utmost importance to those oriented towards utilizing research with the aim of improving educational practice. Innovative methodologies are important for preparing future researchers/scholars and teachers in developing and sustaining professional knowledge. To date, while visual methodologies are explored in various volumes related to general areas of social science, few texts exist where visual methodologies are explained or well-understood in the field of education, specifically.This work centers on the functions, cultures, and outcomes of teaching and learning using visual data (i.e., participant-generated drawings, photo-elicitation, film, etc.) and the methods that frame this approach. It is intended for teachers, researchers, and teacher-researchers - in higher education as well as at PK-12 levels – who are ready to engage with innovative, and often compelling, research methods that make data collection across data sources both accessible and equitable. This volume illustrates how various scholars have conceptualized, generated, and executed research utilizing visual data in their own schools, classrooms, and/or districts, and what they learned from these investigations.This edited volume is organized according to four main strands: Conducting research as visual endeavor: Assessing the nature of visual methodology, Conducting research as visual endeavor: Pedagogical innovation, What can visual data in educational research reveal: Student engagement, motivation, selfdetermination, metacognition, and mindfulness, and Conducting research as visual endeavor: Critical perspectives-critical exploration of issues in education and visual data's engagement with, and impact on, marginalized and/or disenfranchised participants.The chapters within each section, authored by established scholars in their fields of study, focus on some of today's key educational practices and the ways in which visual methodologies can provide innovation in the design of educational research. Each chapter within the volume reflects the importance of using credible, confirmable, reliable, and triangulated interpretations as a foundation for any claims, findings, or assertions related to pedagogical innovation, student mindfulness, and critical pedagogy. In summary, this edited volume is critically engaged, innovative, and contributes to advances in qualitative inquiry, visual research methodologies, and alternative ways of 'seeing' and 'knowing'.

  • Children With Learning Differences Exploring

    Information Age Publishing Children With Learning Differences Exploring

    Book SynopsisActively listening and building bridges among students, teachers, and communities provides learners with authentic opportunities to be involved, invested, and ignite meaningful change. This book celebrates students' first-tellings of their experiences as ""students with differences"" in schools. Throughout the authors' school experiences, they yearned for spaces to share their expertise, thoughts, ideas, talents, and aspirations. These authors emphasize the need to recognize student voice, which they contend, should permeate all levels of collaborative work in schools. These collaborations include, but are not limited to the integration of diverse assessments, differentiation, curriculum design, arts-based projects, inquiry, establishing school policies, and evaluating daily practices in schools.What students have to say matters. However, authors reiterate how often schools attempted to silence them, especially due to the label assigned to them: ""disabled."" How students learn matters. What students learn matters. Their untapped sense of wonderment plays a pertinent role in their growth and development. Together, these authors utilize artmaking to express how they navigate oppressive systems, such as school. They contend there is a need for K-12 students to co-create knowledge and build bridges among themselves, educators, families, and diverse communities. Their new ways of knowing through this artmaking process afforded them with a renewed relevance for learning and the need to promote authentic school reform. Bottom line: students matter. Their leadership, creativity, and capacity to think system-wide are essential to classroom, school, curriculum, and community needs. These young authors stress the need to continue this significant work and emphasize the power of student voice through artmaking.Trade ReviewThis book reveals the hidden curriculum behind how students negotiate school environments that are often indifferent or even hostile to them. It demonstrates their resilience, their perceptions and how experiences in the arts inspire them to overcome the school environment which has silenced or marginalized them. The stories in these pages will inspire you and reinforce your belief in the human spirit."" — Fenwick English, Florida Gulf Coast University
