Philosophy, Analytic Aesthetics, and Theater
by Michael Y. BennettBringing together the latest research and perspectives in the fields of analytic philosophy and theater studies, this collection of essays provides a reflection of how these two fields have emerged and intersected in the twenty-first century.With contributions from leading scholars in the field and emerging voices, Philosophy, Analytic Aesthetics, and Theater provides new insights into the field of philosophy and theater. Structured in three parts, Part I, "Epistemology," explores perspectives on theater as a knowledge-making system, the conventions of theater, and reflects on current practice that engages with aesthetics. Part II, "Politics and Ethics," draws on an evaluation of the ways in which theater and democracy interact, as well as the current conversations around ethical issues within the performance space. And finally, Part III, "Theater and Other Arts," takes a look at the ways in which philosophy has interacted with the art of dance, musical theater, and film, looking beyond the traditional confines of actors, stage, and audience.Edited by Michael Y. Bennett, these essays introduce the latest research in philosophy and theater in an accessible and engaging manner. The book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, scholars of theater and performance studies, and philosophy students and scholars with an interest in theater.
Philosophy, Science and Cinema: Bidirectional Relationships
by Wenceslao J. GonzalezNow that cinema is offline and online, the capacity of cinema to relate to philosophy and science has increased. In this regard, this book seeks to deepen the relationship between philosophy, science, and cinema in terms of bilaterality. This analysis leads to several successive levels of analysis. First, between philosophy and cinema, where the philosophical perspective bifurcates in several directions, depending on the philosophical branch used. This affects in both directions: from the philosophical orientation to the cinematographic activity and, from cinema, towards the philosophical line used. Second, the relations between science and cinema also go in both directions. Thus, they are modulated by the type of scientific research used and by the film genre employed. Thus, bilaterality is altogether a network of bidirectional relations modulated by various possibilities of analysis.
Phiz: The Man Who Drew Dickens
by Valerie Lester'Phiz' - Hablot Knight Browne - was the great illustrator of Dickens' fiction. For over twenty-three years they worked together, and Phiz's drawings brought to life a galaxy of much-loved characters, from Mr Pickwick, Nicholas Nickleby and Mr Micawber, to Little Nell and David Copperfield. But, from the mystery of his birth onwards, Phiz himself led a life as rich as any novel. In this vivid, lively memoir - the first full biography, long-awaited by Victorian scholars - his great-great-granddaughter Valerie Browne Lester tracks the struggles of the abandoned Browne family and follows Phiz's path to marriage and fame, his travels around England and Ireland and work with Dickens, Lever, Trollope and others, and his colourful private life. Based on a mass of unpublished material, this enchanting book, packed with surprising and delicious illustrations, is a perfect present for all who love Dickens and enjoy the hidden byways of Victorian life.
Phobia: An Art Deco Graphic Masterpiece
by John Vassos David A. BeronäA leader in promoting the Art Deco style in advertising art and book illustration, John Vassos undertook his most personal and ambitious work in this 1931 volume. Its twenty-four gripping images represent visceral depictions of common fears--the dread of heights, open and enclosed spaces, the dark, and the menace lurking behind other everyday situations. Doctors and the general public alike hailed Phobia as a masterpiece of psychological insight. Vassos's creations exercised a profound influence on subsequent artists. His use of the hard-edged draughtsman's line, a technique that endows these images with their distinctive Art Deco character, is among his original contributions to the style. This edition features faithful reproductions of illustrations made from the original gouaches employing advanced printing techniques unknown in the 1920s and '30s. The result, superior in quality to the original publication, offers an outstanding opportunity to appreciate an innovative artist's classic work.
Phoenix's Ahwatukee-Foothills
by Martin W. GibsonSouth of Phoenix's South Mountain, west of Interstate 10, north of the Gila River Indian Community, and east of Arizona state land lies the picturesque village of Ahwatukee-Foothills, home to some 87,000 people. Its proximity to adjacent cities, cultural centers, shopping, and dining combines with these natural boundaries to give the area its beautiful topography, sense of peaceful isolation, and high desirability as a great place to live, work, and play. But long before there was a freeway, the area was part of the Kyrene farming community, a rural patchwork of hardy pioneer families typifying the country's agricultural way of life during the first half of the 20th century.
Phoenix's Roosevelt Row (Images of Modern America)
by Greg Esser Joey Robert Parks Nicole UnderwoodThe nationally recognized Roosevelt Row Artists' District in downtown Phoenix originated during the platting of the Churchill Addition in 1888, when fewer than 4,000 people called the city home. The Evans and Churchill Additions enjoyed vibrant, walkable mixed-use growth until the suburban sprawl of the 1950s pulled people and resources away from the downtown city core. Significant decline fell upon the area for decades, until artists began to imagine new possibilities in the 1990s. Few urban areas in the United States have undergone such rapid and dramatic revitalization as Roosevelt Row. In 2000, the area's affordability attracted artists who began to transform underutilized structures and vacant lots into a vibrant, diverse, welcoming community. Iconic events, live music, unique performances, and temporary public art have made it one of the largest monthly art walks in the county, and USA Today recently named Roosevelt Row "one of the ten best city arts districts" in the country.
Phoenix’s Greater Coronado Neighborhood
by Donna J. Reiner Jennifer KitsonAlthough Phoenix may be the youngest major urban center in the United States, it was one of the first to recognize the significance of its historic neighborhoods by placing them in the city Historic Property Register. The three historic areas that form the basis of the Greater Coronado Neighborhood are Coronado, designated in 1986; Country Club Park, designated in 1993; and Brentwood, designated in 2003. The story of Phoenix is comprised of the collective experiences of many groups who have lived here. Weaving these multiple histories together through images of the people and places of the Greater Coronado Neighborhood, readers will have the opportunity to discover a neighborhood that is rich in resources and people who have helped Phoenix mature throughout the years.
Phoneme Track Workbook
by Laura CryerThis photocopiable workbook links with the Phoneme Track CD-ROM, published by SEMERC to support phonics work within the National Literacy Strategy, focusing on hearing, identifying, segmenting and blending of phonemes. Without specific phoneme awareness training, phonics can make no sense and spellings of words can only be learned by rote - reading is there fore not able to be automatic. Research indicates that all young readers benefit from explicit assistance with phonemic awareness and many need more intensive training. The book is suitable for Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils and older learners with specific phonological difficulties.
Phonopoetics: The Making of Early Literary Recordings
by Jason CamlotPhonopoetics tells the neglected story of early "talking records" and their significance for literature, from the 1877 invention of the phonograph to some of the first recorded performances of modernist works. The book challenges assumptions of much contemporary criticism by taking the recorded, oral performance as its primary object of analysis and by exploring the historically specific convergences between audio recording technologies, media formats, generic forms, and the institutions and practices surrounding the literary. Opening with an argument that the earliest spoken recordings were a mediated extension of Victorian reading and elocutionary culture, Jason Camlot explains the literary significance of these pre-tape era voice artifacts by analyzing early promotional fantasies about the phonograph as a new kind of speaker and detailing initiatives to deploy it as a pedagogical tool to heighten literary experience. Through historically-grounded interpretations of Dickens impersonators to recitations of Tennyson to T.S. Eliot's experimental readings of "The Waste Land" and of a great variety of voices and media in between, this first critical history of the earliest literary sound recordings offers an unusual perspective on the transition from the Victorian to modern periods and sheds new light on our own digitally mediated relationship to the past.
Photo Archives and the Place of Photography (Routledge History of Photography)
by Geraldine A. Johnson Deborah SchultzThis collection of chapterss investigates the effects of mobility and place on a range of photographic archives and explores their potential for cross-disciplinary dialogue.The book explores photographic images used in the study of art, as well as the implications of placing European images of non-European cultures in an archive, album, library, or museum. It also addresses questions of digital space, which renders images more visually accessible, but further complicates issues relating to location. The contributors consider these issues through case studies based on a variety of archives, institutions, and disciplines. Just as photographs are conceived as unstable objects, so conventional borders between disciplines and locations are challenged and opened up with chapters drawing on a range of disciplinary theories and practices. The focus of the individual chapters is global, as seen in contributions not only on Euro-American topics, but also on Orientalizing approaches to photographing the Ancient Near East, photographic archives of Bedouin subjects, and digital photographic archives in an Iranian context.This book will be of interest to scholars of art history, visual and cultural studies, anthropology, and archaeology, as well as those working on the history and theory of photography, and histories and theories of the archive.

Photo Poetics: Chinese Lyricism and Modern Media Culture (Global Chinese Culture)
by Shengqing WuChinese poetry has a long history of interaction with the visual arts. Classical aesthetic thought held that painting, calligraphy, and poetry were cross-fertilizing and mutually enriching. What happened when the Chinese poetic tradition encountered photography, a transformative technology and presumably realistic medium that reshaped seeing and representing the world?Shengqing Wu explores how the new medium of photography was transformed by Chinese aesthetic culture. She details the complex negotiations between poetry and photography in the late Qing and early Republican eras, examining the ways traditional textual forms collaborated with the new visual culture. Drawing on extensive archival research into illustrated magazines, poetry collections, and vintage photographs, Photo Poetics analyzes a wide range of practices and genres, including self-representation in portrait photography; gifts of inscribed photographs; mass-media circulation of images of beautiful women; and photography of ghosts, immortals, and imagined landscapes. Wu argues that the Chinese lyrical tradition provided rich resources for artistic creativity, self-expression, and embodied experience in the face of an increasingly technological and image-oriented society. An interdisciplinary study spanning literary studies, visual culture, and media history, Photo Poetics is an original account of media culture in early twentieth-century China and the formation of Chinese literary and visual modernities.
