Psyche's Lamp A Revaluation of Pyschological Principles as Foundation of All Thought

Casting a Movement The Welcome Table Initiative

Casting a Movement The Welcome Table Initiative

Casting a Movement brings together US-based actors directors educators playwrights and scholars to explore the cultural politics of casting. Drawing on the notion of a welcome table—a space where artists of all backgrounds can come together as equals to create theatre—the book’s contributors discuss casting practices as they relate to varying communities and contexts including Middle Eastern American theatre Disability culture multilingual performance Native American theatre color- and culturally-conscious casting and casting as a means to dismantle stereotypes. Syler and Banks suggest that casting is a way to invite more people to the table so that the full breadth of US identities can be reflected onstage and that casting is inherently a political act; because an actor’s embodied presence both communicates a dramatic narrative and evokes cultural assumptions associated with appearance skin color gender sexuality and ability casting choices are never neutral. By bringing together a variety of artistic perspectives to discuss common goals and particular concerns related to casting this volume features the insights and experiences of a broad range of practitioners and experts across the field. As a resource-driven text suitable for both practitioners and academics Casting a Movement seeks to frame and mobilize a social movement focused on casting access and representation.

Social Closure and International Society Status Groups from the Family of Civilised Nations to the G20

Social Closure and International Society Status Groups from the Family of Civilised Nations to the G20

Laying the foundations of a theory of ‘international social closure’ this book examines how actors compete for a seat at the table in the management of international society and how that competition stratifies the international domain. In a broad historical survey from the ‘Family of Civilised Nations’ through the Great Powers’ club to the G7 and G20 today Naylor investigates the politics of membership in the exclusive clubs that manage international society and ensure its survival providing us with a new way to think about how status competition has changed over time and what this means for international politics today. With its sociologically grounded theory this book advances English School scholarship and transforms the study of contemporary summitry providing a ground-breaking approach rooted in archival research elite interviews and ethnographic participant observation. This book is of interest to international relations scholars interested in the ‘expansion’ and globalisation of international society the history of international summits and transformations in international order as well as to those examining concepts including stratification hierarchy and networked governance. With its emphasis on non-state actors in global governance scholars and practitioners alike working on/for civil society will also find this research of great value. | Social Closure and International Society Status Groups from the Family of Civilised Nations to the G20
