Performance: A Critical Introduction

Book Description

Performance: A Critical Introduction was the first textbook to provide an overview of the modern concept of performance and its development in various related fields. This comprehensively revised, illustrated edition discusses recent performance work and takes into consideration changes that have taken place in the study of performance since the book's original publication in 1996. Marvin Carlson guides the reader through the contested definition of performance as a theatrical activity and the myriad ways in which performance has been interpreted by ethnographers, anthropologists, linguists and cultural theorists. Topics covered include:
--The evolution of performance art since the 1960s
--The relationship between performance, postmodernism, the politics of identity and current cultural studies
--The recent theoretical developments in the study of performance in the fields of anthropology, psychoanalysis, linguistics and technology
With a fully updated bibliography and additional glossary of terms, students of performance studies, visual and performing arts or theatre history will welcome this new version of a classic text.

Book Description

"Ewald's project is wonderful because it lets kids speak for themselves; instead of being passive subjects for the lens, they eagerly harness it to the engines of their imaginations." -Andy Grundberg, The New York Times Written for parents and teachers, I Wanna Take Me a Picture is filled with anecdotes about Ewald's work that makes it an accessible and practical guide to getting children involved in photography. Striking photographs of children's work show the benefits of her program. "Young people know joy, sorrow, and loss. By looking at their photographs and talking about making them, they begin to realize their lives have importance. This book is needed!" -Deborah Willis, author of Reflections in Black "A treasure of photos taken by the author and her pupils, plus stirring testimonies from children around the globe who faced tragedy through the lens of a camera." -City Limits Wendy Ewald, who lives with her husband and son in Red Hook, New York, is currently a fellow at the Center for Documentary Studies in Durham, North Carolina. Alexandra Lightfoot received her Ed.D. from Harvard University in 1998.

Fabulous!.......2007-01-04

I absolutely love this book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The story is captivating, and I find myself lost in the text.

But I did not purchase this book for leisure reading. I was searching for a book that is an instructional guide to photographic projects for children. This book is not written in the step-by-step format I was looking for. I wanted fully layed out lesson plans, etc. But I was not dissappointed. All of the information I needed on conducting photo projects with kids is in this book. It is just more of a story format. A VERY enjoyable story!

Reading Pictures .......2005-02-19

This book is an outstanding guide for the art teacher eager to teach not only creative photography, but how to connect, understand, and tell a story through a picture. This book teaches expression through exercises with video and poetry, how to read a photograph, to have children from different cultures learn from each other from self portrait exercises in the shoes of different ethnicities.
Although I found this to be extremely interesting, this book isn't what I had expected. I am not a teacher, but I have a child interested in photography and since I am not a photographer myself I was looking for a guide for us both to learn and enjoy together. This book, although enjoyable, shows examples for different assignments for more of a class room setting, not a parent and child learning together . Also this is a book with only a couple pages of actual images and more text. I do feel this book is a blessing for teachers who may be looking for a creative and meaningful experience for their students to express themselves through art.

Great resource for teachers!.......2002-09-04

This book guides you through teaching literacy through photography to children, for which Ms. Ewald is well known. It is a fantastic resource for someone who wants to really teach the heart and soul of photography, as well as visual literacy - a great introduction to photography but even a seasoned photographer can learn something new from this book. Ms. Ewald takes you through her curriculum step by step as she would teach her students and gives you the tools and tips to pass it on. This is not a technical "how to" photo book, there are plenty of those out there, this book is truly a gem. I have used Ms. Ewald's book as the basis for my own workshops with children and I now have adults asking me to take the course! I can't say enough great things about it...

This book is the BEST!!!.......2005-06-29

I really enjoyed reading this book I could not put it down! I even finished it in a day!!!

Book Description

So did you ever get that promised pony? Go blind because you touched "it?" Get pregnant from a public toilet seat? Of course not!Lying is an art. For parents, however, it may be an absolute necessity. They dream up loving deceptions to preserve the innocence of childhood ("Daddy and I were just doing gymnastics"), to reassure us during those awkward ages ("You're beautiful"), or to keep us on the straight and narrow ("Boys only want one thing"). But they also pass on a whole encyclopedia of strange fictions that it takes us a lifetime to sort out.Now, former New York magazine columnist and Bloomberg Business News radio and TV commentator Bernice Kanner makes us laugh and wax nostalgic with the wise, unwise, or bizarre lies our parents told us.Health lies...."Cross your eyes and they'll stick that way." Sex lies...."You can get pregnant from sitting on a public toilet." Boy lies...."A man's word is his bond." Girl lies...."It's just baby fat."Life lies...."Everything works out for the best."Loving lies...."Someday you'll thank me for this."

Book Description

The bestselling expert on>nasty behavior sets hissights on bad bosses

In the straightforward and popular style of Dr. Carter's previous three books (Nasty People, Nasty Men, and Nasty Women), Nasty Bosses provides no-nonsense insights into bad-tempered behavior, offering proven techniques for handling every harmful moment inflicted by snide superiors. > Combining humor with the know-how of a trained psychologist, Dr. Carter offers strategies for:

Navigating around the "The Carrot Dangler"--the boss who motivates with the promise of a promotion but never delivers
Discerning the deceptive "Two Face"--the supervisor who tells everyone a different story to try to please them all
Coping with "The Crusader"--the chief who demands fanatical hard work and dedication from employees but "guilts" them, "misers" them, and demeans them
Dealing with "The Chucky Boss"--when this boss is through using you, you get chucked in the "wasted" bin
Contending with "The Noper"--the leader who rejects your ideas only to later implement them as his own

Customer Reviews:

Nasty Bosses.......2007-05-31

Great book. Has helped to empower me and my coworkers. I passed the book around at work and they really liked it. Now we understand what we can do to combat the situation.

Jim Ackerman.......2005-07-08

This book blew me away! It is subtle. This is a sleeper. I was going through the book again and BANG! It propelled me right into my prefrontal lobe! I got it! What a brilliant book! This book is more than just words. I don't know how the author did it, but I am so grateful. If you don't get it, it's an OK book. If you get it, it snaps you into a different state of mind. I hope you get it.
Jim Ackerman

Half of the book about nasty bosses, other half...not sr.......2005-06-06

author talks about nasty bosses and how might confront them but then goes on talking about life, etc.... Last two chapters are just a waste of time - he may have just copied and paste them from any other book he was writing...

A good place to begin.......2005-02-19

I would suggest that this book might be a good place for anyone in management to begin if he or she senses that there is some undercurrents in the work pool. It is readable and seems to understand how the employee under a supervisor feels. If your employee reads it, you should know of the strategies suggested for dealing with the boss (you). It was helpful. It is a quick read.
