by James HellingsA comprehensive, critical and accessible account of Theodor W. Adorno's materialist-dialectical aesthetic theory of art from a contemporary perspective, this volume shows how Adorno's critical theory is awash with images crystallising thoughts to such a degree that it has every reason to be described as aesthetic.
Adorno and Modern Theatre: The Drama of the Damaged Self in Bond, Rudkin, Barker and Kane
by K. GritznerAdorno and Modern Theatre explores the drama of Edward Bond, David Rudkin, Howard Barker and Sarah Kane in the context of the work of leading philosopher Theodor W. Adorno (1903-1969).

Adorno and Performance (Performance Philosophy)
by Will Daddario Karoline GritznerAdorno and Performance offers the first comprehensive examination of the vital role of performance within the philosophy of Theodor W. Adorno. Capacious in its ramifications for contemporary life, the term 'performance' here unlocks Adorno's dialectical thought process, which aimed at overcoming the stultifying uniformity of instrumental reason.
Adorno's Theory of Philosophical and Aesthetic Truth (Columbia Themes in Philosophy, Social Criticism, and the Arts)
by Owen HulattIn Adorno's Theory of Philosophical and Aesthetic Truth, Owen Hulatt undertakes an original reading of Theodor W. Adorno's epistemology and its material underpinnings, deepening our understanding of his theories of truth, art, and the nonidentical. Hulatt's novel interpretation casts Adorno's theory of philosophical and aesthetic truth as substantially unified, supporting the thinker's claim that both philosophy and art are capable of being true.For Adorno, truth is produced when rhetorical "texture" combines with cognitive "performance," leading to the breakdown of concepts that mediate the experience of the consciousness. Both philosophy and art manifest these features, although philosophy enacts these conceptual issues directly, while art does so obliquely. Hulatt builds a robust argument for Adorno's claim that concepts ineluctably misconstrue their objects. He also puts the still influential thinker into conversation with Hegel, Husserl, Frazer, Sohn-Rethel, Benjamin, Strawson, Dahlhaus, Habermas, and Caillois, among many others.
ADR and Post-Sync Dialogue: What It Is and How It's Done
by R.J. KizerWritten by industry expert, R.J. Kizer, this is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of post-sync dialogue replacement, popularly known as ADR. It explores how this seldom recognised, but essential, technology is used in motion pictures and in fictional narrative television programs, with many examples from past and recent movies to explain approaches and techniques. It is intended primarily as an intuitive book, allowing readers to develop their own interpretation of ADR application, with both historical and procedural background provided throughout. It identifies the many different procedures and mechanical systems invented and used to accomplish the task of ADR, some from as long ago as the early 1920s. The text also details the many different steps, tasks, and routines that must be followed to identify (spot), program, record, edit, and mix the ADR lines into the final sound track of a show. Intended for the sound professional, it is also suitable for students and entry-level editors wishing to master audio dialogue replacement. Film historians and theorists will also find it both informative and enlightening by illustrating the many avenues used to affect and manipulate the recorded spoken word in motion pictures.
Adrian Stokes: An Architectonic Eye
by Stephen Kite"Adrian Stokes (1902-72) - aesthete, critic, painter and poet - is among the most original and creative writers on art of the twentieth century. He was the author of over twenty critical books and numerous papers: for example, the remarkable series of books published in the 1930s; The Quattro Cento (1932), Stones of Rimini (1934), and Colour and Form (1937) that embraced Mediterranean culture and modernity. His criticism extends the evocative English aesthetic tradition of Walter Pater and John Ruskin into the present, endowed by a stern sensibility to the consolations offered by art and architecture, and the insights that psychoanalysis affords. Indeed, for Stokes architecture provides the entree into art, and this book is the first study to comprehensively examine Stokess theory of art from a specifically architectonic perspective. The volume explores the crucial experiences through which this architectonic awareness evolved; traces the influence upon Stokes of places, texts and personalities, and examines how his theory of art developed and matured. The argument is supported by appropriate illustrations to confirm the evidence that Stokess claim for architecture as mother of the arts carries the deepest experiential and psychological import."

Adult Perspectives on Children and Music in Early Childhood (International Perspectives on Early Childhood Education and Development #33)
by Aleksandra Acker Berenice NylandThis book focuses on the importance and role of adults in promoting music in the early years. Designed to promote the idea of the value of music in the early childhood years, the research discussed in this book explores the experiences of a number of adults working with children from birth to age 8. The initiatives discussed in this work all focus on adults who have encouraged the development of musical identities ranging from music in the home, to musical play in the preschool years, preparing a performance with children, and programs for disadvantaged groups that use music as a communicative tool. Each chapter will start with a description of the particular setting and the protagonists’ specific skills and interests and how they came to be working with young children. Themes for the chapters have emerged from the videos and interviews conducted and consist of both reflective and affective experience. The themes include musical background, the adults' own stories, theories of childhood, and pedagogy and philosophy.
