by Tobias Ebbrecht-Hartmann Derek PagetThis book explores docudrama as a creative response to troubled times.

Post-Fall of the Berlin Wall, docudrama has become a means for nations to work through traumatic experiences both within national borders and Europe-wide. In this regard, it is an important genre for television networks as they attempt to make sense of complex current events.

Documenting the World: Film, Photography, and the Scientific Record
by Gregg Mitman Kelley WilderImagine the twentieth century without photography and film. Its history would be absent of images that define historical moments and generations: the death camps of Auschwitz, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Apollo lunar landing. It would be a history, in other words, of just artists' renderings and the spoken and written word. To inhabitants of the twenty-first century, deeply immersed in visual culture, such a history seems insubstantial, imprecise, and even, perhaps, unscientific. Documenting the World is about the material and social life of photographs and film made in the scientific quest to document the world. Drawing on scholars from the fields of art history, visual anthropology, and science and technology studies, the chapters in this book explore how this documentation--from the initial recording of images, to their acquisition and storage, to their circulation--has altered our lives, our ways of knowing, our social and economic relationships, and even our surroundings. Far beyond mere illustration, photography and film have become an integral, transformative part of the world they seek to show us.

Dooby Lane: Also Known as Guru Road, A Testament Inscribed in Stone Tablets by DeWayne Williams
by Gary Snyder Peter GoinIf left alone, what might a place say? If we must leave it, what must we leave behind? Guru Road, Dooby Lane. It was in this place where, nearly twenty years ago, Gary Snyder discovered, considered, and chronicled such latitudinal ruminations by way of one man, DeWayne "Dooby" Williams, and the coalesced stories and tributes which Williams faithfully etched upon granite, his elected canvas. When Snyder and his wife, Carole, were camping along the Black Rock playa, northwest of the Great Basin and northeast of the town of Gerlach, they deviated from their journey down a paved path to explore a little dirt road that glinted with intrigue. This spontaneous decision led Snyder to "this remarkable text of life and spirit" and to Williams who, retired and living with cancer, was creating the testament of a lifetime-that which would transcend corporeal measures and touch the lives of countless people in endless moments for many years to come.DeWayne Williams created this work of Earth Art in the Black Rock desert, near the current site of the Burning Man gathering. This full-color book presents a series of photographs by Peter Goin, accompanied by the prose and poetry of Gary Snyder.

Doodling - Come perfezionare l'arte dello “scarabocchio” in 6 facili passaggi
by The BlokeheadPrima che qualcuno possa provare ad imparare come fare questi disegni è necessario che capisca cosa il doodling sia in realtà. La parola doodle viene dal Tedesco, e si riferisce ad una persona che è stolta, o che risulta semplice sotto un certo punto di vista. Il significato moderno della parola, che si riferisce ai piccoli disegni fatti senza badare mentre uno sta pensando, è apparsa negli anni '30 e può essere connessa alla parola “dawdle” che indica qualcuno che sta perdendo tempo. Lasciando da parte la storia, però, un doodle non è nient'altro che un disegno inconscio o non ponderato, di solito creato mentre l'attenzione dovrebbe essere focalizzata su qualcos'altro. Questo è il motivo per cui questo scarabocchi di solito compaiono sui bordi dei quaderni, o sui post-it a lavoro: le persone che sono relegate in un certo luogo ad ascoltare una telefonata, una lezione o simile, prendono in mano una penna e cominciano a fare piccoli disegni disattenti. Questi sono i “doodle”, gli scarabocchi. Come Fare Scarabocchi Non c'è un modo giusto per scarabocchiare, così come non c'è un modo giusto o sbagliato di disegnare. Chi scarabocchia può usare i margini di un quaderno o un blocco note nello stesso modo in cui potrebbe usare un album da disegno nuovo. Si possono usare una matita, una penna a sfera, o davvero qualsiasi cosa si desideri. Finché c'è uno strumento adatto, è possibile scarabocchiare. Nel momento di iniziare a creare è importante lasciare che la mente vaghi e concentrarsi su qualunque idea creativa soggiunga. Forse visualizzi una grande lettera A sull'intestazione del foglio, e decidi di disegnare un rampicante che la circonda, come fosse qualcosa uscito da un libro di favole dei fratelli Grimm. Forse poi decidi di aggiungere delle rose alla pianta, trasformando la A in un vero e proprio cespuglio decorato. Forse allora decidi di aggiungere un castello in cima alla punta della A. Forse disegnando dei rami
