Free Download Kathryn Telling, "The Liberal Arts Paradox in Higher Education: Negotiating Inclusion and Prestige"
English | ISBN: 144735947X | 2023 | 174 pages | PDF | 10 MB
The liberal arts approach to higher education is a growing trend globally. We are told that the mental dexterity and independent, questioning spirit cultivated by such interdisciplinary degrees are the best preparation for the as-yet unknown executive jobs of tomorrow. This book explores the significant recent growth of these degrees in England in order to address an enduring problem for higher education: the relationship between meritocracy and elitism. Against the view that the former is a myth providing rhetorical cover for the latter, it argues that these are two entangled, but discrete, value systems. Sociology must now pay attention to how students and academics attempt to disentangle them.

Free Download Stanley E. Porter, "The Arts and the Bible "
English | ISBN: 1725279762 | 2024 | 504 pages | EPUB | 30 MB
Throughout its history, the Christian church has had a troubled relationship with the arts, whether literature, poetry, music, visual arts, or other forms of artistic expression. This volume is not designed to resolve the issues, but it is designed to present a number of different statements about various dimensions of the arts in their relationship to the Bible. The Bible is the document that stands behind the Christian church as an inspiration to it and to its arts. As a result, we have divided this volume into six parts: perspectives on the arts, culture and art, visual enactments, contemporary interpretations, music, and the Bible and literature. Many of the issues that the history of the interaction of the arts and the Bible within the Christian church has uncovered are insightfully and artfully addressed by this book. The wide range of contributors runs the gamut from practicing artists of various media to scholars within varied academic fields.

Derek Jarman's place in the history of film is assured by virtue of his vibrant, defiant films that experiment with the very process of film-making and create new forms. His paintings, their excitements and their profundity, are less well known.

Bewahren Sie nichts in Ihren Hausern auf, was Sie nicht als nutzlich erachten oder wirklich schon finden. Allein dieses Zitat von William Morris konnte schon als erklarende Zusammenfassung der Arts and Crafts-Bewegung dienen, die in England eine Reform des Kunstgewerbes hervorrief. Diese von John Ruskin gegrundete und von William Morris erst richtig vorangetriebene Bewegung Arts and Crafts brachte revolutionare Ideen in das viktorianische England. In der Blute des seelenlosen Industriezeitalters, in dem Gegenstande standardisiert wurden, forderten die Mitglieder der Arts and Crafts-Bewegung, in die Herstellung einen asthetischen Aspekt einzubringen. Handwerk und Design wurden somit zum Hauptgegenstand dieser neuen Ideologie. Arts & Crafts beeinflusste nunmehr zahlreiche Stile der ganzen Welt und druckte hauptsachlich dem Design, der Malerei und der Architektur ihren Stempel auf."

Free Download Jörn Weingärtner, "The Arts as a Weapon of War: Britain and the Shaping of National Morale in World War II"
English | 2006 | pages: 246 | ISBN: 1845110366, 1780760329 | PDF | 1,1 mb
In 1834, Lord Melbourne spoke the words that epitomized the British government's attitude towards its own involvement in the arts: ""God help the minister that meddles with Art."" One hundred years later, however, with the onset of World War II, that attitude changed dramatically when ""cultural policy"" became a key element of the domestic front . This book traces the evolution of this policy from the creation of the Committee for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts, in 1939, to the drafting of the Arts Council's constitution in 1945. Jörn Weingärtner provides a fascinating account of the powerful policy shift that laid the foundations for the modern relationship between the government and the arts.
