The Dramaturgy of Commedia dell'Arte

This book examines Commedia dell'Arte as a performative genre and one that should be analysed through the framework of dramaturgy and dramaturgical practice. This volume examines the way Commedia has been explored in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and details its reinventors’ dramaturgic approaches both focusing in on specific examples such as Jacques Lecoq Dario Fo and Antonio Fava and also suggesting how modern discoveries may aid the study of historical performance practice. It also discusses how audiences read and receive masks; the relationship between the different masked and unmasked roles; the range of performance activities that come under the umbrella term ‘improvisation’; the performative construction of a role performed ‘live’ from a scenario; the role of language and embodied locality in performance; and the performative relationship between performative commedia and literary tragicomedy. Its focus is dramaturgy and so it may be read both as a text describing various theatrical practices from 1946 onwards and as a way of creating one’s own contemporary Commedia practice. It is an important read for any student or scholar of Commedia dell'Arte and theatre historians grappling with the status of this unique and influential performance form. | The Dramaturgy of Commedia dell'Arte

Culture Politics and Race in the Making of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis Breaking Boundaries

Winner of the 2023 American Board & Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize! Culture Politics and Race in the Making of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis traces the emergence of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis and demonstrates how the radical cross-disciplinary dialogues that form its foundation are relevant to present-day social and cultural challenges. Psychoanalysts today are grappling with how to address a host of societal and political crises. In the 1930s a similar set of crises led a group of progressive practitioners and scholars to engage in a radical cross-disciplinary dialogue that became the foundation for Interpersonal Psychoanalysis. Pioneering psychoanalysts created a form of thought and practice that viewed human suffering through the wider lens of society and culture and provided a means to address the pervasive issues of racism sexuality and politics in human experience. With contributions from leading psychoanalysts and scholars and by making use of original sources this book evidences the significance of this approach to understanding marginalisation today. Written in an open and accessible fashion Culture Politics and Race in the Making of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis demonstrates the importance of the early interpersonal-cultural school for the present moment. The book will appeal to a broad audience in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy the history of medicine and social and cultural theory. | Culture Politics and Race in the Making of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis Breaking Boundaries

Architecture and the Landscape of Modernity in China before 1949

This book explores China’s encounter with architecture and modernity in the tumultuous epoch before Communism – an encounter that was mediated not by a singular notion of modernism emanating from the west but that was uniquely multifarious deriving from a variety of sources both from the west and importantly from the east. The heterogeneous origins of modernity in China are what make its experience distinctive and its architectural encounters exceptional. These experiences are investigated through a re-evaluation of established knowledge of the subject within the wider landscape of modern art practices in China. The study draws on original archival and photographic material from different artistic genres and architecturally concentrates on China’s engagement with the west through the treaty ports and leased territories the emergence of architecture as a profession in China and Japan’s omnipresence not least in Manchuria which reached its apogee in the puppet state of Manchukuo. The study’s geographically temporally and architecturally inclusive approach framed by the concept of multiple modernities questions the application of conventional theories of modernity or post-colonialism to the Chinese situation. By challenging conventional modernist historiography that has marginalised the experiences of the west’s other for much of the last century this book proposes different ways of grappling with and comprehending the distinction and complexity of China’s experiences and its encounter with architectural modernity. | Architecture and the Landscape of Modernity in China before 1949

The Boundaries of Mixedness A Global Perspective

The Boundaries of Mixedness tackles the burgeoning field of critical mixed race studies bringing together research that spans five continents and more than ten countries. Research on mixedness is growing yet there is still much debate over what exactly mixed race means and whether it is a useful term. Despite a growing focus on and celebration of mixedness globally particularly in the media societies around the world are grappling with how and why crossing socially constructed boundaries of race ethnicity and other markers of difference matter when considering those who date marry raise families or navigate their identities across these boundaries. What we find collectively through the ten studies in this book is that in every context there is a hierarchy of mixedness both in terms of intimacy and identity. This hierarchy of intimacy renders certain groups as more or less marriable socially constructed around race ethnicity caste religion skin color and/or region. Relatedly there is also a hierarchy of identities where certain races languages ethnicities and religions are privileged and valued differently. These differences emerge out of particular local histories and contemporary contexts yet there are also global realities that transcend place and space. The Boundaries of Mixedness is a significant new contribution to mixed race studies for academics researchers and advanced students of Ethnic and Racial Studies Sociology History and Public Policy.

Nurturing Nature and the Environment with Young Children Children Elders Earth

This book at the intersection of early childhood and reconceptualizing practice looks at how practitioners theorists and teachers are supporting young children to care about the environment differently. Despite the current popularity of post-human perspectives in social science more broadly and in early childhood studies more specifically this is one of few to make visible international practices and perspectives that emerge at the intersection of early childhood education environmental justice sustainability and intergenerational/interspecies communities. The book provides an innovative exploration of the links between children elders and nature. With contributions from established scholars practitioners and newcomers this book reframes educating for social justice within an ecological landscape; one in which young children and their elders are mobilized to understand reconceptualize and even undo negative environmental impact whilst grappling with the ways in which the earthly forces are acting upon them. Specific theoretical chapters (spirituality nature critical and post-human/materiality pragmatics and constructivism approaches) are blended with applications of pedagogic strategies from across the globe. This book responds to a growing interest among early childhood professionals and scholars for sustainably focused and ethically reimagined programs. This collection rewards the reader with opportunities to critically reflect on their own practice delves into new terrestrial collectives and explores new pedagogical pathways. It will be essential reading for practitioners and scholars alike. | Nurturing Nature and the Environment with Young Children Children Elders Earth

Technology Literature and Digital Culture in Latin America Mediatized Sensibilities in a Globalized Era

Grappling with the contemporary Latin American literary climate and its relationship to the pervasive technologies that shape global society this book visits Latin American literature technology and digital culture from the post-boom era to the present day. The volume examines literature in dialogue with the newest media including videogames blogs electronic literature and social networking sites as well as older forms of technology such as film photography television and music. Together the essays interrogate how the global networked subject has affected local political and cultural concerns in Latin America. They show that this subject reflects an affective mode of knowledge that can transform the way scholars understand the effects of reading and spectatorship on the production of political communities. The collection thus addresses a series of issues crucial to current and future discussions of literature and culture in Latin America: how literary visual and digital artists make technology a formal element of their work; how technology from photographs to blogs is represented in text and the ramifications of that presence; how new media alters the material circulation of culture in Latin America; how readership changes in a globalized electronic landscape; and how critical approaches to the convergences boundaries and protocols of new media might transform our understanding of the literature and culture produced or received in Latin America today and in the future. | Technology Literature and Digital Culture in Latin America Mediatized Sensibilities in a Globalized Era

The Impact of a Sense of Belonging in College Implications for Student Persistence Retention and Success

Sense of belonging refers to the extent a student feels included accepted valued and supported on their campus. The developmental process of belonging is interwoven with the social identity development of diverse college students. Moreover belonging is influenced by the campus environment relationships and involvement opportunities as well as a need to master the student role and achieve academic success. Although the construct of sense of belonging is complex and multilayered a consistent theme across the chapters in this book is that the relationship between sense of belonging and intersectionality of identity cannot be ignored and must be integrated into any approach to fostering belonging. Over the last 10 years colleges and universities have started grappling with the notion that their approaches to maintaining and increasing student retention persistence and graduation rates were no longer working. As focus shifted to uncovering barriers to student success while concurrently recognizing student success as more than solely academic factors the term “student sense of belonging” gained traction in both academic and co-curricular settings. The editors noticed the lack of a consistent definition or an overarching theoretical approach as well as a struggle to connect disparate research. A compendium of research applications and approaches to sense of belonging did not exist so they brought this book into being to serve as a single point of reference in an emerging and promising field of study. | The Impact of a Sense of Belonging in College Implications for Student Persistence Retention and Success

Why Cities Need Large Parks Large Parks in Large Cities

The large parks and green infrastructure presented here illustrate the diverse uses and many benefits of large urban parks across 30 major cities. Demand for large urban parks emerged at the height of the First Industrial Revolution in the mid-1800s when large urban parks represented new ideas of accessible public spaces often established on land previously owned by aristocracy royalty or the army. They represented new ideas on how city life could be improved and how large green spaces could enhance urban citizens’ physical and psychological well-being (e. g. Birkenhead Park in Liverpool Bois de Boulogne in Paris Tiergarten in Berlin and Central Park in New York City). Today large urban parks are habitats for biodiversity and spaces of climate change adaptation. For people living in cities this biodiversity may represent high cultural recreational and aesthetic values but is also important for other aspects of health and well-being for example by reducing the urban heat island effect air pollution and risks of flooding. At a time when we are seriously reconsidering how we live in cities and our urban quality of life while also grappling with serious challenges of climate change the authors of this book detail the much-needed evidence pathways and vision for a future of more liveable resilient cities where large urban parks are at the core. This book will help park managers NGOs landscape architects and city planners to develop the green city of the future. | Why Cities Need Large Parks Large Parks in Large Cities

Abolish Criminology

Abolish Criminology presents critical scholarship on criminology and criminal justice ideologies and practices alongside emerging freedom-driven visions and practices for new world formations. The book introduces readers to a detailed history and analysis of crime as a concept and its colonizing trajectories into existence and enforcement. These significant contexts buried within peculiar academic histories and classroom practices are often overlooked or unknown outside academic spaces. This causes the impact of criminology's racializing-gendering-sexualizing histories to extend and grow through criminology’s creation of crime as a very limiting way of thinking about violence and what can be done about it. These limitations allow the concept of crime to be weaponized and enforced through the criminal legal system. Abolish Criminology offers an accessible critical study of criminology in written visual and poetic forms and through the perspectives of university students professors imprisoned and formerly imprisoned scholars poets and visual artists. This allows readers to engage in multi-sensory inter-disciplinary and multi-perspective teachings on criminology’s often discussed but seldom interrogated mythologies on violence and danger while bringing to light the wide-reaching enforcements of violence through criminology's research theories agencies and dominant cultures. Abolish Criminology serves the needs of undergraduate and graduate students and educators in the social sciences arts and humanities. It will also appeal to scholars researchers policy makers activists community organizers social movement builders and various reading groups in the general public who are grappling with increased critical public discourse on policing and criminal legal reform or abolition.
