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.

The book will appeal to scholars and students alike interested in food and feasting from the perspectives of literature history language art religion and medicine and to those interested in a social cultural and literary overview of life in the Iberian Peninsula during the late Middle Ages. | Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

Ludwig Tieck An Annotated Guide to Research

Ludwig Tieck An Annotated Guide to Research

When originally published in 1993 this was the first bibliography of the secondary literature on Tieck. Given as much secondary literature surrounding Tieck’s life and works has been generated outside of his native Germany as within this bibliography focuses particularly on his life and work from an international perspective. In order to make the information surrounding Tieck accessible the book provides a detailed table of contents with corresponding text divisions rather than a subject index. It therefore highlights Tieck’s achievements in their various national contexts so that not only students of German can get an accurate feel for Tieck’s versatility and range. | Ludwig Tieck An Annotated Guide to Research

Architecture and Labor

Architecture and Labor

Through a collection of 13 chapters Peggy Deamer examines the profession of architecture not as an abstraction but as an assemblage of architectural workers. What forces prevent architects from empowering ourselves to be more relevant and better rewarded? How can these forces be set aside by new narratives new organizations and new methods of production? How can we sit at the decision-making table to combat short-term real estate interests for longer-term social and ethical value? How can we pull architecture—its conceptualization its pedagogy and its enactment—into the 21st century without succumbing to its neoliberal paradigm? In addressing these controversial questions Architecture and Labor brings contemporary discourses on creative labor to architecture a discipline devoid of labor consciousness. This book addresses how not just what architects produce and focuses not on the past but on the present. It is sympathetic to the particularly intimate way that architects approach their design work while contextualizing that work historically institutionally economically and ideologically. Architecture and Labor is sure to be a compelling read for pre-professional students academics and practitioners.

Lineage and Community in China 1100–1500 Genealogical Innovation in Jiangxi

Lineage and Community in China 1100–1500 Genealogical Innovation in Jiangxi

Tracing descent from common ancestors was extremely important in imperial China. Members of such lineage communities sacrificed to ancestors in periodic ceremonies maintained written genealogies to demonstrate their descent and held some properties in common. This book based on extensive original research provides evidence that the practice originated much earlier than previously understood. It shows that in the eleventh century in southern China under the Song dynasty the method of compiling a genealogy in the form a table that is to say a family tree replaced its statement as a textual paragraph and that this allowed the tracking of multi-line descent in ways that had previously been impossible. The book also reveals that the practice of recording and presenting genealogical information was not originally unique to communities of common surnames but that the Southern Song government keen to encourage loyalty to the state and cohesion within communities favoured the building of common surname lineages a practice which then had far-reaching consequences for the nature of Chinese society over a very long period. | Lineage and Community in China 1100–1500 Genealogical Innovation in Jiangxi
