  • Interpretive Theme Writers Field Guide

    National Association for Interpretation Interpretive Theme Writers Field Guide

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThe interpretive theme is the most important sentence an interpreter inks on paper. Despite its centrality to thematic interpretation, no single work has dedicated itself entirely to the art and craft of strong theme writing until now. The Interpretive Theme Writer''s Field Guide builds on Sam Ham''s 30-year thematic interpretation research legacy. While leaving theory to his books, this pocket companion offers writers strong theme examples, worksheets, exercises, inspirational quotes, and technique highlights. With contributions from Sam Ham, Ted Cable, Shelton Johnson, and Clark Hancock, this Field Guide is useful at the desk, in the exhibit hall, or on the trail. It recognizes that teams, even communities, create heritage themes, and introduces the Interpretive Framework methodology to facilitate community-based theme writing.

  • CrossCultural Heritage

    Book SynopsisThe diverging forms of material and immaterial missionary heritages and legacies.For centuries, Christian missions have intervened in local religious communities, practices and ideas across the globe, generating encounters between Indigenous and Western cultures that have ranged from hostile confrontation to intercultural osmosis. While primarily intended as a strategy for evangelisation, forms of inculturation also led to the emergence of new hybrid cultural and religious expressions. These creative processes were rarely unidirectional; instead, they involved reciprocal cultural transactions in which local communities exerted significant agency.Cross-Cultural Heritage deepens our understanding of the intricate relationships between missions and missionised communities. These are reflected in the material and immaterial legacies of missionary histories in various contexts in South America, Africa, Asia, the Pacific and Europe. Often, they remain deeply rooted in landscapes, memories and practices today.Contributing authors: Paola Granado (Université Lumière Lyon 2), Leah Abayao (University of the Philippines Baguio), Kwami Edem Afoutou (Université Laval), Karen Jacobs (University of East Anglia), Naziru Yahaya Shu'Aibu (College of Advance and Remedial Studies, Kano), Leon Bouwmeester (KU Leuven), Jennifer Bond (University College London), Rinald D'Souza (KU Leuven), Markus A. Scholz (Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule Sankt Georgen Frankfurt am Main), Idesbald Goddeeris (KU Leuven).This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).

    Book SynopsisMoving Beyond Treeline and Other Stories: Inspiration for Interpreters offers stories that focus on how we can sustain ourselves given a professional trend toward engagement with uncomfortable interpretation. The stories were chosen to help guide a shift toward a real live movement as National Association for Interpretation Executive Director Paul Caputo noted, committed to being a force for good, and there's no looking back. The stories shed light on the complexities of where we find ourselves in this moment of increasingly challenging circumstances. Each of the stories in this collection employ Sam Ham's TORE (Theme, Organized, Relevant and Enjoyable) framework in which interpretation is designed strategically with a theme, is organized, is relevant, and is enjoyable. They also employ the various principles first generated by Enos Mills and Freeman Tilden in their attempts to relate the material to the audience, reveal deeper meanings, and provide provocation to think more deeply about something or do something differently. Finally, the stories showcase universal principles from National Park Service leader David Larsen at the 2000 NAI national conference in Tucson, Arizona. Universal concepts that include opposites such as contemplation and action, solitude and community, work and leisure, victory and defeat, good and evil, life and death. Other universal concepts employed include freedom, patriotism, companionship, suffering, justice, responsibility, kindness, courage, joy, and love.
