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.

Growing Heritage The Politics of Heritage Vegetables Fruit and Seeds in Britain

Growing Heritage The Politics of Heritage Vegetables Fruit and Seeds in Britain

This book is the first comprehensive critical analysis of the cultural politics of a new kind of British heritage discourse. Based on texts ranging from tweets to restaurant menus that tell the story of heritage vegetables this book explores what it means to think about our food systems and their future through the lens of ‘heritage’. From town hall seed swaps to restaurant menus and coffee table books it has become hard in recent years for consumers to avoid the idea of ‘heritage’ fruit and vegetables. The British counterpart of North American heirlooms their varied colours strange shapes and endearing names are charming. Yet their proponents claim far more for them arguing it is vital that we safeguard our crop heritage for global food security social justice and consumer choice. This book examines how heritage fruits and vegetables are adopted to subvert corporate food production and take food back into our own hands while supermarkets are eagerly adding them to their luxury ranges. The book also discusses the practice of heritage seeds being stored in secure facilities where most of the world’s growers cannot reach them. Written in an accessible style this book will appeal to those studying and those interested in food studies and food politics; heritage studies; geography and environmental studies; the sociology of consumption and cultural studies. | Growing Heritage The Politics of Heritage Vegetables Fruit and Seeds in Britain

The Routledge Handbook of Trust and Philosophy brings together 31 never-before published chapters accessible for both students and researchers created to cover the most salient topics in the various theories of trust.

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

Creating Heritage for Tourism

Creating Heritage for Tourism

What does ‘heritage’ mean in the twenty-first century? Traditional ideas of heritage involve places where objects landscapes people and ideas are venerated and reproduced over time as an inheritance for future generations. To speak of heritage is to speak of a relationship between the past the present and the future. However it is a past recreated for economic gain hence sectors such as culinary tourism ecotourism cultural tourism and film tourism have employed the heritage label to attract visitors. This interdisciplinary book furthers understanding on how heritage is socially constructed interpreted and experienced within different geographic and cultural contexts in both Western and non-Western settings. Subjects discussed include Welsh linguistic heritage tango mushroom tourism Turkish coffee literary tourism and the techniques employed to construct tourist accommodation. By focusing upon heritage creation in the context of tourism the book moves beyond traditional debates about ‘authentic heritage’ to focus on how something becomes heritage for use in the present. This timely volume will be of interest to students and researchers in tourism heritage studies geography museum studies and cultural studies. | Creating Heritage for Tourism

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

A Narrative of my Professional Adventures by Sir William Henry Dillon 1790-1839 Vol. I

A Narrative of my Professional Adventures by Sir William Henry Dillon 1790-1839 Vol. I

Sir William Henry Dillon (1780-1857) was born in Birmingham the illegitimate son of the distinguished writer and traveller John Talbot Dillon (1734-1806) a baron of the Holy Roman Empire. The elder Dillon had briefly served in the Royal Navy apparently obtaining his discharge in a fit of pique after being ejected when a midshipman from the Parade Coffee House in Portsmouth a hostelry reserved for captains. Sir William’s long enjoyable and informative memoirs edited by Professor Michael A Lewis one of the doyens of naval historians are arguably the best by any naval officer of the period and for anyone seeking an intimate glimpse into the workings of the Georgian navy and the professional concerns and vexations of its officer corps they are essential reading. The narrative never dull is enhanced by the editor’s erudite and where appropriate witty commentaries by the sense we derive of the author’s personal foibles and by his numerous exasperated references to ‘Mrs V’ (Matilda Voller) a middle-aged widow who ensnared Dillon into marriage when he was a young lieutenant recently returned from incarceration in France. Other illuminative Georgian memoirs in the NRS series of publications are those of Admiral Sir Thomas Byam Martin (vols 12 19 24) Captain John Harvey Boteler (vol 82) and Commander James Anthony Gardner (vol 31) Gardner’s being like Dillon’s especially vivid. William Dillon entered the navy in 1790 and saw action on the Glorious First of June in 1794 in Lord Bridport’s engagement off the Île de Groix in 1795 and at the capture of St Lucia in 1796. Commissioned lieutenant in 1797 he served off the coast of Wexford during the Irish rebellion. This volume takes his career up to 1802. | A Narrative of my Professional Adventures by Sir William Henry Dillon 1790-1839 Vol. I

Quiet Genocide Guatemala 1981-1983

Quiet Genocide Guatemala 1981-1983

Quiet Genocide reviews the legal and historical case that genocide occurred in Guatemala in 1981-1983. It includes the full text of the genocide section of a United Nations sponsored Commission on Historical Clarification in Guatemala (CEH) brokered by the UN. In its final report the CEH's rigorously reviewed abuses throughout the whole country. However the memory of the Guatemalan dirty war which predated the genocide and continued for over a decade of the heightened killing has rapidly faded from international awareness. The book renders a historical picture of the 1948 Genocide Convention and its unique status in international law. It reminds readers of the difficulty of preventing and punishing genocide as illustrated by the ongoing tragedy of Darfur; anddiscusses the evolution of international and hybrid tribunals to prosecute genocide along with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Then it sketches a brief history of Guatemala with a focus on genocide It explores how internal and global politics were an expression of structural violence designed to ensure cheap abundant and quiescent Indian labor for coffee planters. a The volume provides the commission's general considerations legal definitions methodology period of analysis and victim groups and finds that genocide had been perpetrated against five indigenous Guatemalan groups. By translating the genocide argument of the CEH into English and framing it in a lively accessible way this volume recovers the past sets the record straight and promotes accountability. This exploratory effort provides insight into the world of transitional justice and truth commissions and valuable insights about how to engage with the question of genocide in the future. These findings shed light on a crucial and dark chapter of trans-American Cold War history and will thus be of interest not only to scholars focused on Guatemala but also on Central America and even more broadly on the Cold War. | Quiet Genocide Guatemala 1981-1983
