Download or read book Arts Programming for the Anthropocene written by Bill Gilbert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arts Programming for the Anthropocene argues for a role for the arts as an engaged, professional practice in contemporary culture, charting the evolution of arts over the previous half century from a primarily solitary practice involved with its own internal dialogue to one actively seeking a larger discourse. The chapters investigate the origin and evolution of five academic field programs on three continents, mapping developments in field pedagogy in the arts over the past twenty years. Drawing upon the collective experience of artists and academicians in the United States, Australia, and Greece operating in a wide range of social and environmental contexts, it makes the case for the necessity of an update to ensure the real world relevance and applicability of tertiary arts education. Based on thirty years of experimentation in arts pedagogy, including the creation of the Land Arts of the American West (LAAW) program and Art and Ecology discipline at the University of New Mexico, this book is written for arts practitioners, aspiring artists, art educators, and those interested in how the arts can contribute to strengthening cultural resiliency in the face of rapid environmental change.
Download or read book Captured Lives written by Peter Monteath and published by National Library of Australia. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captured Lives peers behind the barbed wire drawn around people deemed threats to Australia's security during the two world wars. Civilians from enemy nations, even if born in Australia, were subjects of suspicion and locked away in internment camps. Prisoners-of-war were shipped from the other side of the world and shut away in camps in country Australia. No matter how unjust their internment or how severe the privations, most internees and POWs worked out ways to relieve their discomfort, physical and mental, and their boredom. Internees devoted their time to creative pursuits like theatre, musical ensembles, art and photography, while others involved themselves in sporting activities, gardening or studying. Captured Lives mentions over 30 of the main camps that were spread across Australia during the two world wars. Included are sketches, watercolours and photographs made by internees serve as references of the conditions and life in the camps from an insider's perspective.

Download or read book A Light in Dark Places written by Daniel Sykes and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the light of the events that shape our stories are the driving thoughts behind our tied conclusions. In reflective delivery of our dreams, our illusions are passed upon the terms of reference within the nitty gritty of the pages interned in our reflections. Our eyes may open to the light of dawns heights, as the sun draws the blue sky in compensation for which the shadows slide. In chains of courage that link our societies within the rise of challenge to the levels approached and in need for our labour, we walk within the comforts created for tides upon the currents of rest that sleep inside the rifts of idle sensations to be pronounced by the words in verse to our terms of belief and understanding. Within the precision of the sharpened blade of fact, our wishes are passed in honour of the light they praise and in reflex of the common goals and conscious tests of occasion to which we tackle the deepest conclusions that reap our assets in harvest of the knowledge that frames our worth. We drift inside the shining moonlit mantles and depths inside the secrets that possess our fortunes and cast shadows interned by the force of the objects that surround features upon the light we seek. Be careful what you wish as such sort of afterthoughts bear the sincerity of our convictions. Any ease too quick to suggest time has not been wasted in the flames that sight such thoughts as true may only see them coming before such haste attracts our darkest fates in forceful time of the demons that consume our everchanging flights. The story behind the darkest things I know to be true is set to show you all the evil that I draw for you in an image of reference and portrait of what has not just happened to me.
Download or read book The Australian Country Girl History Image Experience written by Catherine Driscoll and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian Country Girl: History, Image, Experience offers a detailed analysis of the experience and the image of Australian country girlhood. In Australia, 'country girl' names a field of experiences and life-stories by girls and women who have grown up outside of the demographically dominant urban centres. But it also names a set of ideas about Australia that is surprisingly consistent across the long twentieth century despite also working as an index of changing times. For a long period in Australian history, well before Federation and long after it, public and popular culture openly equated 'Australian character' with rural life. This image of Australian-ness sometimes went by the name of the 'bush man', now a staple of Australian history. This has been counterbalanced post World War II and increased immigration, by an image of sophisticated Australian modernity located in multicultural cities. These images of Australia balance rather than contradict one another in many ways and the more cosmopolitan image of Australia is often in dialogue with that preceding image of 'the bush'. This book does not offer a corrective to the story of Australian national identity but rather a fresh perspective on this history and a new focus on the ever-changing experience of Australian rural life. It argues that the country girl has not only been a long-standing counterpart to the Australian bush man she has, more importantly, figured as a point of dialogue between the country and the city for popular culture and for public sphere narratives about Australian society and identity.

Download or read book The Man Inside written by Graham Apthorpe and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Graham Apthorpe’s account of the Cowra outbreak is superb. Narrated in a fresh way, in elegant and original prose, and with a wonderful gift for taking the unexpected angle, it does great service to this astonishing Australian-Japanese event, and will have a honoured place in the canon of fascinating works on the incident." - Thomas Keneally The War in the Pacific has turned; thousands of the previously invincible Japanese soldiers are now being captured in New Guinea and interned at the Cowra Prisoner of War Camp. Unlike other POWs, the traditional Japanese Bushido Code and their fanaticism leaves them ill-equipped for surrender and imprisonment. Ashamed, subdued and sullen, one man, Second Lieutenant Maseo Naka is an exception. Obstructing the Australian authorities at every turn, he was the first Japanese soldier to escape from Cowra. This action becomes the precursor for the more than 1000 Japanese prisoners who escape in the bloodiest Breakout of World War II that ultimately saw 234 Japanese and four Australian guards killed. His escape and the defiance, guilt, and shame that motivated it, led to his court-martial. Naka nevertheless stands-out as very human, another tragic victim of the global inferno that was World War II. Adhering to the Samurai Code of Bushido, he doggedly undertakes actions that he views as necessary for the maintenance of his “honour”. Through the insights of those around Naka, together with new research including the personal accounts of Australian interrogators, the author shows how this handsome loner provided the impetus for the dramatic events in the early hours of August 5, 1944 where hundreds of Japanese soldiers stormed the Camp defences for honour, or death!
Download or read book Rural Revival written by John Connell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How, if possible, to re-populate declining rural and regional areas? Examining this crucial and complex issue in relation to Australia, this book explores how a particular organization, 'Country Week', has emerged and developed as one means of stimulating the repopulation of declining or stagnating areas. While this is a problem shared by many other developed countries in Europe and North America, Australia's 'Country Week' programme puts forward an innovative range of place-marketing strategies that challenge rural decline and urban migration and can offer new approaches which could be adopted more widely.
