Between Art Practice and Psychoanalysis Mid-Twentieth Century Anton Ehrenzweig in Context

Between Art Practice and Psychoanalysis Mid-Twentieth Century Anton Ehrenzweig in Context

The work of mid-twentieth century art theorist Anton Ehrenzweig is explored in this original and timely study. An analysis of the dynamic and invigorating intellectual influences institutional framework and legacy of his work Between Art Practice and Psychoanalysis reveals the context within which Ehrenzweig worked how that influenced him and those artists with whom he worked closely. Beth Williamson looks to the writing of Melanie Klein Marion Milner Adrian Stokes and others to elaborate Ehrenzweig’s theory of art a theory that extends beyond the visual arts to music. In this first full-length study on his work including an inventory of his library previously unexamined archival material and unseen artworks sit at the heart of a book that examines Ehrenzweig’s working relationships with important British artists such as Bridget Riley Eduardo Paolozzi and other members of the Independent Group in London in the 1950s and 1960s. In Ehrenzweig’s second book The Hidden Order of Art (1967) his thinking on Jackson Pollock is important too. It was this book that inspired American artists Robert Smithson and Robert Morris when they deployed his concept of ’dedifferentiation’. Here Williamson offers new readings of process art c. 1970 showing how Ehrenzweig’s aesthetic retains relevance beyond the immediate post-war era. | Between Art Practice and Psychoanalysis Mid-Twentieth Century Anton Ehrenzweig in Context

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

This book explores issues related to people policy and places of teaching and learning resulting from the trend towards dual and multi-mode provision of distance education. It explores reasons for the trend as well as some of the opportunities and challenges which may arise. In many developing countries demand for higher education provision outstrips the supply of full-time places; while in many developed countries the cost of full-time provision means that distance and online provision may be more accessible than full-time provision. At the same time the growing use of online learning platforms has generally resulted in more flexible forms of provision. Consequently an increasing number of higher education institutions now offer dual (contact and distance or online) or multi-mode (contact and distance and online and other) forms of provision. This volume helps to navigate this changing distance education landscape. The chapters in this book were originally published in Distance Education. | Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

Discipline by Mary Brunton

Discipline by Mary Brunton

Discipline the second novel by the Scottish writer Mary Brunton (1778-1818) was published in 1814. While less well known than its predecessor Self-Control (1811) it is nonetheless equally deserving of a central place in the canon of Romantic-era fiction. A wide-ranging novel it shares many themes with contemporary fiction such as women’s difficulties in earning money and the horror of being falsely imprisoned in an insane asylum. However it is Discipline’s innovative attempt at psychological realism that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Through the moral growth of its heroine Ellen Percy Discipline insists on women’s self-determination and their ability to become rational agents in a world that treats them as objects merely of desire or contempt. This edition is edited by Olivia Murphy who has added careful editorial notes and an insightful new introduction to the text. | Discipline by Mary Brunton

Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

This book explores the origins of Butoh in post-war Japan through orality and transmission in conjunction with an embodied research approach. The book is a gathering of seminal artistic voices – Yoshito Ohno Natsu Nakajima Yukio Waguri Moe Yamamoto Masaki Iwana Ko Murobushi Yukio Suzuki Takao Kawaguchi Yuko Kaseki and the philosopher Kuniichi Uno. These conversations happened during an extended research trip I made to Japan to understand the context and circumstances that engendered Butoh. Alongside these exchanges are my reflections on Butoh’s complex history. These are primarily informed by my pedagogical and performance encounters with the artists I met during this time rather than a theoretical analysis. Through the words of these dancers I investigate Butoh’s tendency to evade categorization. Butoh’s artistic legacy of bodily rebellion plurality of authorship and fluidity of form seems prescient and feels more relevant in contemporary times than ever before. This book is intended as a practitioner's guide for dancers artists students and scholars with an interest in non-Western dance and dance history postmodern performance and Japanese arts and culture. | Butoh as Heard by a Dancer
