Focusing on the UK but situating its analysis in a global context of art activism, the book presents a range of different cases of performance-based art activism, including the anti-oil sponsorship performances of groups like Shell Out Sounds and BP or not BP?, the radical pedagogy project Shake!, the psychogeographic practice of Loiterers Resistance Movement, and the queer performances of the artist network Left Front Art. Based on participatory, ethnographic research, Performance Action brings together a wealth of first-hand accounts and interviews followed by in-depth analysis of the processes and politics of art activist practice. The book is unique in that it adopts an interdisciplinary approach that borrows concepts and theories from the fields of art history, aesthetics, anthropology, sociology and performance studies, and proposes a new framework for a better understanding of how art activism works, focusing on processes. The book argues that art activism is defined by its dual nature as aesthetic-political practice, and that this duality and the way it is manifested in different processes, from the building of a shared collective identity to the politics of participation, is key towards fully understanding what sets apart art activism from other forms of artistic and political practice. The book is aimed at both specialist and non-specialist audiences, offering an accessible and engaging way into new theoretical contributions in the field of art activism, as well as on wider subjects such as participation, collective identity, prefiguration and institutional critique. ![]() Pause: Putting the Brakes on a Runaway Life By Katherine Gibson 2006 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 1897178239 | PDF | 8 MB As a society, we’re exhausted. Today’s hurried life entraps us at every level: from the early morning bolt out the door, to increasing workloads with reduced resources, escalating family responsibilities, social obligations, committee meetings, and exercise classes. We’ve packed away our passions to let the minutiae of life take over. Rather than live in harmony with our spirit, we buy a bigger truck or recarpet the living room. While some of us might be tempted to “pull a Thoreau” and disappear into a personal version of Walden Pond, most of us can’t or don’t want to. We must create healthful interludes, daily pauses, to sustain us. This book aids readers to incorporate meaningful moments into the day. Pause contains thirty coffee-break-length chapters, each offering a single idea, a single pause. Since our physical environments profoundly affect our interior landscape, the book begins with practical chapters about physical space. The book then explores three essential practices, or pauses, that are integral to healthful living. Chapters on practical (sometimes playful) and spiritual elements follow. From cooking with the kids, watching the snow fall on a Saturday walk, and escaping on mini-retreats to shamelessly enjoying small indulgences, Pause: Messages for a Hurried World offers suggestions for breaks from the daily grindвЂ"ones that nourish body and soul. ![]() Organization and Management in the Embrace of Government By Jone Pearce 2001 | 193 Pages | ISBN: 0805837698 | PDF | 2 MB Organization and Management in the Embrace of Government is an original exploration of how governments affect the ways people organize themselves, manage those organizations, and respond to the organizations thus created. It is a grounded theory of how governments that are weak, erratic, or hostile undermine complex organization, trust, meritocracy, commitment, and other implicit expectations about how organizations operate. Scholars, students, and all those interested in a better understanding of how governments affect our cultural expectations of one another, our organizations, and the economies based upon them will find this groundbreaking volume to be a rich resource. The author, President-Elect of the Academy of Management, distills original comparative data drawn from China, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, and the United States to paint a coherent theory of the organizational effects of governments. The book has been written primarily to introduce organizational and governmental scholars to the ways that governments can influence organization and management. However, it also is written with an eye to readers with practical interests in international management or governments. This pioneering work will be discussed and analyzed for decades to come. ![]() Jun Jiang, "Optical Sensing in Power Transformers " English | ISBN: 1119765285 | 2021 | 300 pages | PDF | 11 MB A cutting-edge, advanced level, exploration of optical sensing application in power transformers |
