Senior M: Mixing Secrets for the Small
Studio

Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio

An exquisitely illustrated reference guide to the symbolism of birds in art, myth and folklore throughout the ages. From the goldfinch in Raphael's Madonna del Cardellino to the sacred ibis on an ancient Egyptian wall painting and the quetzal feathers of an Aztec headdress, birds have always held a special place in human culture and belief systems. For millennia, humanity has imbued them with symbolic significance and as a result they are a constant source of fascination. But where did such symbolism come from? Why do we view some birds as special, while others are seen as comical or simply as food? The Secret Language of Birds examines forty-two birds and the diverse roles they have played across civilizations. Written by renowned ornithologist Colin Rees, each individual profile offers a fresh perspective on our feathered friends, drawing from history, art, music, literature and folklore. These entries delve into the myriad ways people have worshipped, feared, hunted and consumed birds, utilized them as medicine, or relied on them to predict the weather. From well-known birds like the majestic crane, a symbol of longevity and harmony in Southeast Asia, to lesser-known species like the fierce cassowary, a bird integral to Dreamtime narratives among Australian Aboriginal groups, birds have played important roles in cultures around the world. Rees also details instances of bird persecution, and traces the derivation of bird names across Latin, English, Native American and African traditions, as well as those introduced by colonists worldwide. Organized by habitat and richly illustrated with ornithological paintings, artworks and a broad range of contextual material, The Secret Language of Birds reveals how certain species have been perceived and why they continue to captivate our imaginations.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2026Discover how art can improve our health, make us happier and even help us live longer with the inspiring new book from the award-winning scientist and world-leading expert.'Wonderful . . . I only wish it had existed as required reading when I was a medical student.' RANGAN CHATTERJEE 'Every day we are overwhelmed by advice on how to live better. Art Cure is an amazing antidote to the deluge of nonsense . . . Everyone should read this.' XAND VAN TULLEKEN'Elegantly distils the evidence for what we have always intuitively felt; that music, literature, cinema, and art are powerful universal remedies . . . A book for our times.' GILLIAN ANDERSONDIET. SLEEP. EXERCISE. NATURE. ARTS?Many of us consider making and consuming art to be a hobby, or even a luxury. But what if arts engagement - from classical music to salsa, poetry to pop concerts, galleries to graffiti - was in fact one of our most powerful tools for unlocking health and happiness?What if art could help you live longer - and even save your life?In Art Cure, world-leading expert and award-winning scientist Professor Daisy Fancourt reveals the life-changing power of the arts, including how:<ul><li>Songs support the architectural development of children's brains.</li><li>Creative hobbies help our brains to stay resilient against dementia.</li><li>Visual art and music act just like drugs to reduce depression, stress, and pain.</li><li>Dance build new neural pathways for people with brain injuries.</li><li>Going to live music events, museums, exhibitions, and the theatre decreases our risk of future loneliness and frailty.</li><li>Engaging in the arts improves the functioning of every major organ system in the body.</li></ul> And, perhaps most importantly, how art helps us not only to survive, but to thrive and flourish.Fancourt draws on ground-breaking research in neuroscience, psychology, immunology, physiology, behavioural science and epidemiology, as well as inspiring true stories of people who have experienced radical changes in their health, to empower readers to improve their own health through the arts.Informed by the results of decades of scientific studies, Art Cure is the must-read, inspiring guide to improving your health, giving you the tools to write your own 'arts prescription'.More praise for Art Cure:'A revelation . . . Could not be more timely, nor make a stronger, more urgent case for placing the arts at the centre of our communities.' MELVYN BRAGG, broadcaster and parliamentarian'Fascinating, comprehensive, compelling, inspiring.' DR CHRISTOPHER BAILEY, World Health Organization

Art Cure

An ode to the quiet joy of collecting more books than we could ever possibly read - and loving them all the same... Drawing on the evocative Japanese term tsundoku - first coined in the Meiji era to describe the growing stacks of unread books that accumulate around devoted readers - this insightful and warmly humorous book reframes what some might see as clutter or guilt as a deeply meaningful way of living. From the tactile pleasure of flipping through pages to the quiet ritual of rearranging overflowing shelves, Tsundoku explores the psychology, culture, and poetry behind the irresistible urge to collect and cherish books. It offers meditations on the joy of choosing and buying books, the rebellion against reading lists, creative ways to organise your shelves, foolproof excuses for sneaking in yet another new title, techniques for remembering what you've read, and the guilty - but glorious - pleasure of re-reading. Above all, this philosophy reminds us that we do not necessarily have to have read all the books we own to love them unconditionally. Feelings of guilt, be gone! Unread books can be even more fascinating because they take us on wonderful journeys, and speak to us regardless, whether we open them or keep them closed. We know that books are a cure for the soul: just touching one, smelling one, or leafing through one makes us feel better immediately.

Theater

How do the visible and the invisible interact in aesthetic experience? Kati Röttger connects phenomenology and intermediality to engage with orders of looking in theatrical events, and thus offers a multifaceted methodological approach to performance analysis. The study balances theory and methodology in combination with extensive case studies encompassing different histories, cultures and media from dance, to postdramatic theatre, film and theatre texts. The reader gains a deep insight into the relevance of theatrical performances as poison and cure in (hyper)industrial societies, because of theatre's capability to theorize critically the not least violent interrelationship of seeing and being seen.

Das Dokumentarische / Exzess und Entzug

Der Begriff 'Metaromantik' bezeichnet eine neue Perspektive auf die gegenwärtige Kunst: Ausgehend von Caspar David Friedrichs ikonischer Rückenfigur zeigt Anne Hemkendreis, wie romantische Bildformen heute aufgegriffen, reflektiert und kritisch transformiert werden. Im Kontext von Klimawandel, Extraktivismus und kolonialen Verflechtungen fokussiert sie auf künstlerische Strategien, die das Verhältnis von Mensch und Natur neu verhandeln. Die Analyse verbindet kunsthistorische Perspektiven mit Ansätzen der Environmental Humanities und eröffnet einen innovativen Zugang zur Aktualität romantischer Ästhetik.

Routledge Critical Advertising Studies

This book critically examines how brands determine the visibility of social issues through their advertising practices, informing the ways we are persuaded to feel, think, and act as consumers and citizens.Through a critical analysis of brand responses to ongoing geopolitical events, such as the Ukrainian conflict and the war in Gaza, Scalvini demonstrates how commercial objectives drive ethical stances, leading to the prioritization of certain profit-driven narratives and the exclusion of more politicized ones. Drawing on in-depth interviews with post-Millennial consumers across North America, Europe, and Asia, Brand Activism critiques brands' reluctance to engage with politically sensitive topics, particularly those affecting the Global South, arguing that this avoidance distorts the representation of moral responsibility in advertising. This book examines how 'ordinary' consumers-those not strongly aligned with activist consumption-negotiate the idea that they should take moral responsibility for their spending choices. However, it also discusses the rise of a new generation of consumer activists who reject superficial brand gestures and demand accountability for global justice. Case studies from brands such as Nike, Patagonia, Gillette, Dove, and Ben &amp; Jerry's are explored in detail to unpack the symbolic, rhetorical, and discursive strategies by which present brand activist campaigns are being hollowed out and re-articulated into a moral discourse.This is valuable and insightful reading for advanced students and researchers in Media and Communication, Sociology, Marketing, and Business disciplines.

Film

Die Geschichte des Kinos ist fundamental von der Ästhetik der Beleuchtung geprägt. In exemplarischen Einzelstudien analysiert Denis Grünemeier das faszinierende Wechselspiel von Licht und Schatten im Film. Dabei zeigt er eindrucksvoll durch die methodische Verknüpfung von Filmwissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte und Bildtheorie, dass Licht und Schatten über die Technik und Form hinaus wesentlich die Essenz und den Inhalt des Films bestimmen. Neben bekannten Regisseuren wie Kubrick, Murnau und Carlos Reygadas sind es die ausgewählten experimentellen Arbeiten Derek Jarmans und die Animationen der Quay Brothers, die den innovativen Status dieser Studie untermauern.

Living Futures offers a fresh and exciting perspective on how people imagine and make futures as part of their everyday lives. It addresses important questions about who is included in futures thinking and futures making, and who is excluded.Bringing together historical, anthropological, sociological, geographical and arts-based perspectives, this book provides a pithy yet expansive overview of social theories, research and creative approaches applied to futures thinking. Global practices and traditions of divination, fortune telling and speculation from antiquity to the present day are investigated for how they help people deal with uncertainty and engage with the yet-to-come, while also serving political and economic objectives. The book emphasises the plasticity of temporalities and lived experiences across diverse social groups, together with the role of the creatures, things, landscapes, and ecosystems with which we share our futures. The concluding chapter integrates the insights offered from each of the fields of research discussed in the book, providing ideas to spark vibrant and transformative approaches to creative futuring.Living Futures will appeal to academics and students interested in the history, sociology, anthropology and geography of futures, futures studies, possibility studies, anticipation studies, design and forecasting, as well as anyone interested in how innovative social research and creative approaches offer new insights into futures thinking.

Postcolonial Studies

Since the early 2000s, creatives in UK grime music and attendant genres have voiced and displayed dissent toward neoliberal politics and violent inner-city planning through the medium of music video. Julian Wacker shows that music videos produced for artists such as Dizzee Rascal, Jorja Smith, Kano, Kojey Radical, and Scarlxrd reframe politically disenfranchised and culturally stigmatized council estates as unruly and malleable spaces on the move, ultimately disrupting exclusionary patterns stratified across the neoliberal city. Reading these music videos also provides insights into how they intervene in stereotyping narratives surrounding Black British ¿urban¿ culture in the UK.

Zeitschrift für archäologische Aufklärung

Die&nbsp;Zeitschrift für archäologische Aufklärung&nbsp;setzt sich zum Ziel, die Aktualität antiker Artefakte zu demonstrieren. Sie präzisiert Konzepte antiker Dingwelten, ihre Mechanismen sowie Regelsysteme und sucht im Trümmerhaufen der griechisch-römischen Antike nach Lösungen für die Aporien der Gegenwart. Heft 4 widmet sich dem Begriff der Maske, der&nbsp;archäologische und ethnologische Objekte wie Theatermasken, Ahnenmasken und Maskenbilder umgreift. Dabei verweist er auf&nbsp;ein anthropologisches und technologisches Grundphänomen: jene bunte Instanz, die sich zwischen Subjekt und Objekt, zwischen Mensch und Mensch, zwischen Mensch und Maschine schiebt. Welche verschlungenen Pfade führen von den antiken und prähistorischen Masken durch das Labyrinth der westlichen und östlichen Traditionen in unsere digital maskierten Welten? Steckt hinter dem Phänomen der Maske womöglich der Hermes Trismegistos unserer technisierten, materialistischen und gegenwartsverliebten Zivilisation - der uralte, dämonische Ver- und Enthüller in seinem neuesten Kleid, der digitalen Hermeneutik?
