Autism and Masking - Helen Ellis - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Autism and Masking - Helen Ellis - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Autistic people often feel they have to present as neurotypical or perform neurotypical social behaviours in order to fit in. So-called ''masking'' is a social survival strategy used by autistic people in situations where neurodiversity is not understood or welcomed. While this is a commonly observed phenomenon in the autistic community, the complexities of masking are still not widely understood.This book combines the latest research with personal case studies detailing autistic experiences of masking. It explains what masking is and the various strategies used to mask in social situations. The research also delves into the psychology behind masking and the specifics of masking at school, at social events with peers, and at work. The book looks at the consequences of masking, including the toll it can have on mental and physical health, and suggests guidance for family, professionals, and employers to ameliorate negative effects. With a diverse range of voices, including perspectives across gender, ethnicity and age, this is the comprehensive guide to masking and how to support autistic people who mask.

Masking And Power - Gerard Aching - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

Masking And Power - Gerard Aching - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

An ambitious reassessment of the political uses of masking. Does the mask reveal more than it conceals? What, this book asks, becomes visible and invisible in the masking practiced in Caribbean cultures-not only in the familiar milieu of the carnival but in political language, social conduct, and cultural expressions that mimic, misrepresent, and mislead? Focusing on masking as a socially significant practice in Caribbean cultures, Gerard Aching’s analysis articulates masking, mimicry, and misrecognition as a means of describing and interrogating strategies of visibility and invisibility in Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Martinique, and beyond. Masking and Power uses ethnographic fieldwork, psychoanalysis, and close literary readings to examine encounters between cultural insiders as these locals mask themselves and one another either to counter the social invisibility imposed on them or to maintain their socioeconomic privileges. Aching exposes the ways in which strategies of masking and mimicry, once employed to negotiate subjectivities within colonial regimes, have been appropriated for state purposes and have become, with the arrival of self-government in the islands, the means by which certain privileged locals make a show of national and cultural unity even as they engage in the privatization of popular culture and its public performances.

Masking America, 1918-1919 - Kerry Segrave - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Masking America, 1918-1919 - Kerry Segrave - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book recalls masking efforts in response to the Spanish flu epidemic. Masking the population as an ineffective response to disease by public health officials and political bureaucrats at various levels of jurisdiction reached its zenith in 2020. However, it began a century earlier during the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918-1919. In both cases, masking was not the first response made by the officials. In both cases, it was introduced as part of the second round of responses after the first round had failed. During 1918 the imposition of masking was done by legal mandate in some areas, by hectoring and whining on the part of officials in other areas, and by gentle and not so gentle public persuasion involving the use of "good" examples. Military members were mainly forced to don masks. Since there were bases, camps, and cantonments all over America as the war was ongoing, it was hoped an example would be set for the general public. Post office clerks who dealt with the public were often forced to wear masks; it was one of the few areas where the federal government had the power to impose masking. Some areas used masking almost not at all, such as the New England states. Other areas, such as the Pacific, forced masking on much of the population. Some public health officials did not subscribe to any of the imposed measures, such as Dr. Royal Copeland, the New York City Health Commissioner, and Dr. Rupert Blue, the United States Surgeon General.

Masking Unmasked - E. Simon - Bog - Palgrave USA - Plusbog.dk

Masking Unmasked - E. Simon - Bog - Palgrave USA - Plusbog.dk

Masking Unmasked is a basic guide to using the ancient art of acting with masks to develop character and movement in four sections that correspond to mask size: Full-Face Masks, Clowning, Bag Masks, and Half-Face Masks. Each section addresses fundamental acting principles and shows how the ancient technique can be applied to the contemporary stage. It is the perfect book to use as background to traditional, non-masked acting principles. Actors in masks experience the primary goal of acting because they are required to tap into profound physical, vocal, emotional, and psychological transformations in the course of creating a character. In addition, masking promotes honest, believable, and detailed work. Illustrated profusely throughout, the hands-on exercises developed by Eli Simon teach actors to shift cleanly between beats, execute moment-to-moment specificity, unleash creative impulses, take risks, and expand character range, power, and vulnerability. Masking Unmasked is a book of ancient acting techniques that are indispensable for the actor of today.

Masks and Masking in Medieval and Early Tudor England - Sarah Carpenter - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Masks and Masking in Medieval and Early Tudor England - Sarah Carpenter - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Drawing on broad research, this study explores the different social and theatrical masking activities in England during the Middle Ages and the early 16th century. The authors present a coherent explanation of the many functions of masking, emphasizing the important links among festive practice, specialized ceremonial, and drama. They elucidate the intellectual, moral and social contexts for masking, and they examine the purposes and rewards for participants in the activity. The authors'' insight into the masking games and performances of England''s medieval and early Tudor periods illuminates many aspects of the thinking and culture of the times: issues of identity and community; performance and role-play; conceptions of the psyche and of the individual''s position in social and spiritual structures. Masks and Masking in Medieval and Early Tudor England presents a broad overview of masking practices, demonstrating how active and prominent an element of medieval and pre-modern culture masking was. It has obvious interest for drama and literature critics of the medieval and early modern periods; but is also useful for historians of culture, theatre and anthropology. Through its analysis of masked play this study engages both with the history of theatre and performance, and with broader cultural and historical questions of social organization, identity and the self, the performance of power, and shifting spiritual understanding.

Masking Hegemony - Craig Martin - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Masking Hegemony - Craig Martin - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Masking Hegemony'' presents a critical evaluation of the language used in liberal political thought, tracing liberalism''s use of two key binary concepts - public/private and religion/state - from the Protestant Reformation to the present. Whilst appearing to separate "religion" from "state" and "public" from "private", this language actually masks the influence of religious institutions on state policies and the inevitable circulation of power from the private to the public sphere in a liberal democracy. ''Masking Hegemony'' uses the work of Gramsci, Foucault and Bourdieu to offer a fresh approach to liberal ideology that will be of interest to students and scholars of both politics and religion.

Masking - Nina Lemon - Bog - Salamander Street Limited - Plusbog.dk

Masking - Nina Lemon - Bog - Salamander Street Limited - Plusbog.dk

“It’s not really surprising that our generation would be struggling. It’s a sane response to an insane world.” When the school’s lockdown alarm sounds everyone assumes it’s a drill. But soon a group of year 9 students find themselves stuck in a geography classroom with only Deputy Head Prefect Jamie to keep them under control. It becomes clear that the school is in lockdown because of an ‘incident with a pupil.’ While the group speculates as to the identity of the student and the nature of the ‘incident’ it slowly emerges that, although no one’s talking about it, the students are all grappling with mental health issues of their own. Nina Lemon’s insightful play sensitively explores the challenges faced by a group of school kids as they cope witha high-stakes school system in a world that’s piling on the pressure. Masking is an original play created with and for youth arts charity Peer Productions. "Moving and unflinching- Masking not only reflects the realities of today’s classrooms but celebrates the voices of those within them." - Katy Secombe (actor, director, drama coach) CASTING: 7 actors of equal weight (3 identifying as female, 2 as male and 2 of any gender - playing 13-17 years) RUNNING TIME: 60-75 minutes

Masking in Pandemic U.S. - Urmila Mohan - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Masking in Pandemic U.S. - Urmila Mohan - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This anthropological study explores the beliefs and practices that emerged around masking in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic. Americans responded to this illness as unique subjects navigating the flux of social and corporeal boundaries, supporting certain beliefs and acting to shape them as compelling realities. Debates over health and safety mandates indicated that responses were fractured with varied subjectivities in play—people lived in different worlds and bodies were central in conflicts over breathing, masking and social distancing. Contrasting approaches to practices marked the limits and possibilities of imaginaries, signaling differences and similarities between groups, and how actions could be passageways between people and possibilities. During a time of uncertainty and loss, the "efficacious intimacy" of bodies and materials embedded beliefs, values, and emotions of care in mask sewing and usage. By exploring these practices, the author reflects on how American subjects became relational selves and sustained response-able communities, helping people protect each other from mutating viruses as well as moving forward in a shifting terrain of intimacy and distance, connection, and containment.

Masks and Masking - Gary Edson - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Masks and Masking - Gary Edson - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

For at least 20,000 years, masking has been a mark of cultural evolution and an indication of magical-religious sophistication in society. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the mask as a powerful cultural phenomenon--a means by which human groupings attempted to communicate their dignity and sense of purpose, as well as establish a continuum between the natural and supernatural worlds. It addresses the distinctive environments within which masks flourished, and analyzes the mask as a manifestation of art, ethnology and anthropology.

Masking the Abject - Mechthild Nagel - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Masking the Abject - Mechthild Nagel - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Masking the Abject traces the beginnings of the malediction of play in Western metaphysics to Aristotle. Mechthild Nagel''s innovative study demonstrates how play has served as a ''castaway'' in western philosophical thinking: It is considered to be repulsive and loathsome, yet also fascinating and desirable. The book illustrates how play ''succeeds'' and proliferates after Hegel—despite its denunciation by classical philosophers—entering Marxist, phenomenological, postmodern, and feminist discourses. This work provides the reader with a superb analyisis of how the distinction between the serious and the playful has developed over time, charting play''s changing ontological status, and ethical and aesthetic dimensions, from the logocentric to the bacchnalian.

Resist and Masking Techniques - Peter Beard - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Red Tape - Herbert Kaufman - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Red Tape - Herbert Kaufman - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

" Death, taxes, and red tape. The inevitable trio no one can escape. That wry sense of reality colors Herbert Kaufman''s classic study of red tape, the bureaucratic phenomenon that all of us have encountered in some form—from the confounding tax form filled out annually to the maddeningly time-consuming wait at the driver''s license bureau. The complaints about red tape, Kaufman concedes, are legion. It''s messy, it takes too long, it lacks local knowledge, it is out of date, it makes insane demands, it increases costs, it slows progress. It is, in short, a burden and many times there is no measurable positive outcome. Kaufman takes us on an unblinking tour of the dismal landscape of red tape. But he also shows us another side of red tape, one we often forget. Red tape is how government protects us from tainted food, shoddy products, and unfair labor practices. It guarantees a social safety net for the elderly, the disabled, children, veterans, and victims of natural disasters. One person''s red tape is another person''s protection. This reissue is a Brookings Classic, a series of republished books for readers to revisit or discover, notable works by the Brookings Institution Press. "

The Jumbo Duct Tape Book - Jim Berg - Bog - Workman Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Jumbo Duct Tape Book - Jim Berg - Bog - Workman Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Did you know that duct tape can turn any item of clothing into rainwear? That duct tape over a computer screen will keep your kids from surfing naughty sites on the Web? That a perfect solution for those easy-to-lose TV remotes is to duct tape them to your arm? (Not only won''t you lose it, you''ll never have to relinquish control over it, either!) But can you also believe that Jim and Tim''s creative ideas for duct tape spawned not just one bestselling book, but three, plus a calendar? And now the ultimate collection? With two-thirds of the material drawn from their previous books and calendars and one-third all-new, The Jumbo Duct Tape Book is pure nuttiness to the nth degree. The premise is right there, on page one: "One rule can get you through life. It if ain''t stuck and it''s supposed to be, duct tape it." But of course it''s the interpretation that counts-like duct taping the gas pedal for cruise control, or duct taping marbles to your pressure points for instant reflexology. And then there''s bending the rule-transforming sneakers into golf shoes by punching nails through duct tape and taping it to the soles, saving energy by taping all switches in the off position. Plus cosmetic dentistry (use white tape for the "The Mask" look, silver for the metal-mouth bad guy look), cell phone safety (tape phone to side of head while driving so hands stay on wheel), home decorating (use duct tape for easy drapery tie-backs). You can even convert the book to a "hard cover" by taping a piece of 1/4 inch sheet of plate steel to the front and back covers. It''ll last for years!
