Creativity in Transition

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
In an era of intensifying globalization and transnational connectivity, the dynamics of cultural production and the very notion of creativity are in transition. Exploring creative practices in various settings, the book does not only call attention to the spread of modernist discourses of creativity, from the colonial era to the current obsession with ‘innovation’ in neo-liberal capitalist cultural politics, but also to the less visible practices of copying, recycling and reproduction that occur as part and parcel of creative improvization.

Crafting Identity
Author: Sandra Alfoldy
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773528604
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
"By contrasting American experience with the Canadian context, which includes a unique Quebec identity and a Native dimension, Sandra Alfoldy argues that the development of organizations, advanced education for craftspeople, and exhibition and promotional opportunities have contributed to the distinct evolution of professional craft in Canada over the past forty years. Alfoldy focuses on 1964-74 and the debates over distinctions between professional, self-taught, and amateur craftspeople and between one-of-a-kind and traditional craft objects. She deals extensively with key people and events, including American philanthropist Aileen Osborn Webb and Canadian philanthropist Joan Chalmers, the foundation of the World Crafts Council (1964) and the Canadian Crafts Council (1974), the Canadian Fine Crafts exhibition at Expo 67, and the In Praise of Hands exhibition of 1974. Drawing upon a wealth of previously unexploited materials, this richly documented survey includes descriptions and illustrations of significant works and identifies the challenges that lie ahead for professional crafts in Canada."--Pub. desc

The Deliverer
Author: Kathi Macias
Publisher: New Hope Publishers
ISBN: 1596698551
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
In The Deliverer, Mara has to make some major choices: (1) whether to trust her feelings for Jonathan, despite the fact that she fears men in general; (2) whether to risk returning to Mexico to find her family, the very ones who sold her into slavery when she was just a child; (3) whether to receive God’s forgiveness and then offer that forgiveness to those who have so viciously hurt and betrayed her. Lawan is also deeply involved in this final book, as it opens with her winging her way from Thailand and all that is familiar to come and live with the family who adopted her younger sister, Anna. Though still a child herself, Lawan has survived nearly three years in a brothel and feels much shame as a result. Will she be able to bond with her new family and allow God to heal the losses and pain she has sustained in recent years? Jonathan, too, has much to deal with—primarily his feelings for Mara. Can he, a Bible college student, establish a deep and meaningful relationship with a young woman who has spent the majority of her life as a sex slave? At New Hope Digital (NewHopeDigital.com) you can find study questions for each book in this series and an ideas and resources list to help educate readers and enable them to apply what they've learned and become actively involved in this massive and ongoing human tragedy—trafficking in persons.
