The Industrialisation of Arts Education
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031050169 | 189 Pages | PDF (True) | 5 MB
This book comprises the responses of a group of multi-disciplinary writers/ researchers/practitioners to the proposition that arts education in the twentyfirst century has become industrialised. Historical and contemporary examples of how arts education prepares students for working in industry are discussed to show how the expectations of educators, students and industry representatives do not always concur. The extent to which arts pedagogies have been informed by the agendas of the cultural industries as well as wider neoliberal ideologies are also considered. This leads to questions about the function and value of arts education. The debates expose tensions of producing students who are 'industryready' in an educational context that must, at the same time, consider other issues such as sustainability and widening participation. Writers, educators and researchers in vocational education, creative writing, jewellery design, animation, fashion branding and popular music investigate the complexities relating to this topic from their own diverse points of view.

Justyna Jajszczok, "The Body in History, Culture, and the Arts "
English | ISBN: 0367209551 | 2019 | 180 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
The aim of this book is to explore the body in various historical contexts and to take it as a point of departure for broader historiographical projects. The chapters in the volume present the ways in which the body constitutes a valuable and productive object of historical analysis, especially as a lens through which to trace histories of social, political, and cultural phenomena and processes. More specifically, the authors use the body as a tool for critical re-examination of particular histories of human experience, and of societal and cultural practices, thus contributing to the burgeoning area of body history in terms of both specific case studies as well as historiography in general.

List of Chinese martial arts : The Who, What and Why of Chinese Martial Arts by issam karkar

I was in Newport, Rhode Island, walking alone down a poorly lit street late at night near the waterfront-a very nasty part of town. It was the kind of thing you do when you're young and tough and you think you're invulnerable.

Eckhard Furlus, Siegfried Zielinski, Arianna Borrelli, "Variantology 3: On Deep Time. Relations of Arts, Sciences and Technologies in China and Elsewhere""
English | 2008 | ISBN: 3865603661 | PDF | pages: 240 | 25.0 mb
The editors of this newest installation of the challenging international art-meets-science-meets-technology journal Variantology endeavor to explain the overlapping and independent histories of European and Chinese media, moving from reflections about the deep time history of certain cultural arts and sciences to speculations that reach all the way into the present and our future. Contributors expand on themes such as: Fireworks as a Time-based Praxis of Performance, Magnetized Chess Automata, Paper-cuts, Thermometers, Radical Interventions in the Natural Landscape by Humans and The Compass, revealing discovery-rich areas that may lead to broader and richer concepts of what art and media are. In addition, they explore media issues from regional perspectives, and finally, they look at deep time-particularly in the evolution of Chinese technology and knowledge. Brecht's 1920s parable proposing that Chinese civilization had already forgotten about the innovations of the Modern Age finds new meaning here.
