The Portable Community Place and Displacement in Bluegrass Festival Life

The Portable Community Place and Displacement in Bluegrass Festival Life

This book explores the various ways in which individuals use music and culture to understand and respond to changes in their natural and built environments. Drawing on over 15 years of ethnographic fieldwork interviews and participant observation the author develops the thesis that the relationships networks and intimate forms of social interaction in the “portable” community cultivated at bluegrass festival events are significant cultural formations that shape participants’ relationships to their localities. With specific attention to the ways in which the strength of these relationships are translated into meaningful sites of community identity place and action following devastating local floods that destroyed homes and businesses displacing residents for years The Portable Community: Place and Displacement in Bluegrass Festival Life sheds light on the strength of such communities when tested and under external threat. A study of the central role of arts and music in grappling with social and environmental change including their role in facilitating disaster relief and recovery this volume will appeal to scholars of sociology with interests in symbolic interactionism the sociology of music culture and the sociology of disaster. | The Portable Community Place and Displacement in Bluegrass Festival Life

The Archaeology of Portable Art Southeast Asian Pacific and Australian Perspectives

The Archaeology of Portable Art Southeast Asian Pacific and Australian Perspectives

The development of complex cultural behaviour in our own species is perhaps the most significant research issue in modern archaeology. Until recently it was believed that our capacity for language and art only developed after some of our ancestors reached Europe around 40 000 years ago. Archaeological discoveries in Africa now show that modern humans were practicing symbolic behaviours prior to their dispersal from that continent and more recent discoveries in Indonesia and Australia are once again challenging ideas about human cultural development. Despite these significant discoveries and exciting potentials there is a curious absence of published information about Asia-Pacific region and consequently global narratives of our most celebrated cognitive accomplishment — art — has consistently underrepresented the contribution of Southeast Asia Australia and the Pacific Islands. This volume provides the first outline of what this region has to offer to the world of art in archaeology. Readers undertaking tertiary archaeology courses interested in the art of the Asia-Pacific region or human behavioural evolution along with anyone who is fascinated by the development of our modern ability to decorate ourselves and our world should find this book a good addition to their library. | The Archaeology of Portable Art Southeast Asian Pacific and Australian Perspectives

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.

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

Reality TV

Reality TV

From early first-wave programs such as Candid Camera An American Family and The Real World to the shows on our television screens and portable devices today reality television consistently takes us to cities—such as New York Los Angeles and Boston—to imagine the place of urbanity in American culture and society. Jon Kraszewski offers the first extended account of this phenomenon as he makes the politics of urban space the center of his history and theory of reality television. Kraszewski situates reality television in a larger economic transformation that started in the 1980s when America went from an industrial economy when cities were home to all classes to its post-industrial economy as cities became key points in a web of global financing expelling all economic classes except the elite and the poor. Reality television in the industrial era reworked social relationships based on class race and gender for liberatory purposes which resulted in an egalitarian ethos in the genre. However reality television of the post-industrial era attempts to convince viewers that cities still serve their interests even though most viewers find city life today economically untenable. Each chapter uses a key theoretical concept from spatial theory—such as power geometries diasporic nostalgia orientalism the imagination of social expulsions and the relationship between the country and the city—to illuminate the way reality television engages this larger transformation of urban space in America. | Reality TV
