Download or read book Creative Instigation written by Fern Tiger and published by New Village Press. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring creative responses to community challenges Creative Instigation is a collection of in-depth case stories focused on effective and innovative community engagement and policymaking in diverse cities across the western U.S. Each story reflects the history and uniqueness of the community, organization, or institution—providing grit to the importance of context to understand the why and the how of this work. It includes the successes and challenges, and the efforts needed to do this work well. Unlike “typical engagement,” where meetings are announced via limited venues with limited information, Creative Instigation describes engagement that is authentic, outreach that is expansive, and research that uncovers the soul of a community. No two approaches are alike. This book is for those most likely to be responsible for community engagement work—city staff and elected leadership, community developers and nonprofit workers, architecture and planning students, scholars, and community activists, as well as people who care about their own community and the future of their city. The in-depth stories of multi-year efforts by organizations, institutions, and communities, working differently, and at times at cross purposes describe the unique, transdisciplinary skills required to bring these sectors together to solve shared problems.

Book excerpt: Describes engagement that is more authentic, outreach that is expansive and effective, research that delves deeply into qualitative areas that uncover the soul of a community or an organization. These illustrated case stories in effective community engagement in the United States demonstrate how community participation in policymaking underpins democratic institutions. They feature examples of residents involved meaningfully in decisionmaking in local government or educational and nonprofit institutions, as well as communicating with private corporations in ways other than as consumers. Unlike typical engagement, where meetings are announced via limited venues and whoever comes does so with limited information, Creative Instigation describes outreach that is expansive, engagement that is more authentic, and research that delves deeply into qualitative areas to uncover the soul of a community. The diverse stories in this book show tools that are compelling, ways to inform that are graphically clear, methods of dissemination that are broad and profound; and strategies that are insightful.

Book excerpt: Creativity is a treasure sought by many but realized by few. Productive thinking has produced many great leaders and geniuses over the centuries, even today. Unfortunately, only few individuals today are able to get people's attention with their creativity, make a name or create the change they want to see in their environment. The most important aspect of being creative is finding relevance, beating time and having a consistent stimulation to create even better version of an existing creation. Overcoming creative limitations will provide a MENTAL DWELLING PLACE where most geniuses and great leaders such as Albert Einstein, Ronald Reagan, Thomas Edison and The French Emperor Napoleon interpret as creative paradise. The Creative Treasures provides the energy and power needed to influence the social environment and to provide a new perspective about an existing phenomenon. Winston Churchill confessed of using one of these creative boosters to finish twice as much work every day. All THE CREATIVE TREASURES in this book are deducted from in-depth scientific researches and studies made on normal people to prove the most effective brain stimulation techniques in order to achieve a deeper social influence using unique creations. This includes reversal energy management, ultimate disconnection to achieve a deeper connection toward a profitable reality and also: capitalistic social intelligence. After reading the first 3 chapters you can be assured of a new creative insight. This discipline eliminates pressure and uncertainty about the value of your creation. It also proves the essence of speed with real life examples; as an important factor to achieve effectiveness. What are you waiting for? Take a step further for change and ultimate personal growth by adding this book to your library.

Download or read book The Ocean of God written by Roland Faber and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2019-06-29 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The Ocean of God’conveys the proposition that the future of religions, if they will not want to contribute to the destruction of humanity, will become transreligious. Based on the assumption that the spiritual impulse of humanity cannot simply be eradicated, religiosity will persist in transreligious forms, as secularizations, naturalizations and transhumanist dreams only envision such transformations, but fall short in their ability to replace the force of spirituality to further civilized peace of human existence on Earth and its future in evolutionary, ecological and cosmological dimensions. In relating the contributions of religious pluralism to the concept of the unity of religions, which have arisen in this “new axial age” for overcoming the checkered history of religions in furthering peace, the program of a polyphilic pluralism with its transreligious discourse, based on the insight of the fundamental relativity of (religious) truth and the special contributions of process philosophy and theology as well as the Bahá'í universe of thought, analyses and projects a new religiosity or spirit enabling religions to overcome their deepest motives of strife and warfare.
Download or read book American Poetry as Transactional Art written by Stephen Fredman and published by University Alabama Press. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the ways American poetry engages with visual art, music, fiction, spirituality, and performance art Many people think of poetry as a hermetic art, as though poets wrote only about themselves or as if the subject of poetry were finally only poetry—its forms and traditions. Indeed much of what constitutes poetry in the lyric tradition depends on a stringently controlled point of view and aims for a timeless, intransitive utterance. Stephen Fredman’s study proposes a different perspective. American Poetry as Transactional Art explores a salient quality of much avant-garde American poetry that has so far lacked sustained treatment: namely, its role as a transactional art. Specifically Fredman describes this role as the ways it consistently engages in conversation, talk, correspondence, going beyond the scope of its own subjects and forms—its existential interactions with the outside world. Poetry operating in this vein draws together images, ideas, practices, rituals, and verbal techniques from around the globe, and across time—not to equate them, but to establish dialogue, to invite as many guests as possible to the World Party, which Robert Duncan has called the “symposium of the whole.” Fredman invites new readers into contemporary poetry by providing lucid and nuanced analyses of specific poems and specific interchanges between poets and their surroundings. He explores such topics as poetry’s transactions with spiritual traditions and practices over the course of the twentieth century; the impact of World War II on the poetry of Charles Olson and George Oppen; exchanges between poetry and other art forms including sculpture, performance art, and ambient music; the battle between poetry and prose in the early work of Paul Auster and in Lyn Hejinian’s My Life. The epilogue looks briefly at another crucial transactional occasion: teaching American poetry in the classroom in a way that demonstrates that it is at the center of the arts and at the heart of American culture.

Book excerpt: Letting Go? investigates path-breaking public history practices at a time when the traditional expertise of museums seems challenged at every turn—by the Web and digital media, by community-based programming, by new trends in oral history and by contemporary art. In this anthology of 19 thought pieces, case studies, conversations and commissioned art, almost 30 leading practitioners such as Michael Frisch, Jack Tchen, Liz Ševcenko, Kathleen McLean, Nina Simon, Otabenga Jones and Associates, and Fred Wilson explore the implications of letting audiences create, not just receive, historical content. Drawing on examples from history, art, and science museums, Letting Go? offers concrete examples and models that will spark innovative work at institutions of all sizes and budgets. This engaging new collection will serve as an introductory text for those newly grappling with a changing field and, for those already pursuing the goal of “letting go,” a tool for taking stock and pushing ahead.

Download or read book History and Prophecy written by Brian Peckham and published by Anchor Bible. This book was released on 1993 with total page 904 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The controversial premise of History and Prophecy is that the Bible was created from the very outset as a work of literature; and not simply handed down in the form of oral stories from one generation to another." "In this explosive survey of the whole Hebrew Bible, author Brian Peckham cuts against the grain of scholarly opinion by taking seriously; the fact that the Bible is a work of literature - modeled on such ancient authors as Homer and Hesiod - and was undoubtedly the product of a literate society: the creation of people who knew how to read and write for an audience that read, listened, and understood. Peckham provides the evidence that the biblical text at first was written; that from the beginning it was read and provoked written response; that it was quoted and alluded to in later writings; that what seemed right or evident to one writer was disputed, corrected, and reinterpreted by another, that nothing of significance in the process was erased or omitted but was preserved and inscribed with the rest for all time." "In this provocative book, the biblical text is read as literature - from start to finish, as continuous, meaningful, and complete, with distinctive literary forms and genres. It was written to be read and performed. Its authors were poets, singers, orators, lawyers, priests, and scholars whose audiences were those gathered in the squares and gates of Jerusalem, or who met at wells and springs scattered throughout Israel. It comprised occasional drama, tragedy and comedy, ballads and speeches, debates and disputations traditional stories: in short, the stuff of books and libraries and literary appreciation." "Finally, History and Prophecy reconstructs the history of ancient Israel as it was understood and interpreted by the writers of the Bible. It traces the development of images and ideas about Israel's origin, makeup, and role in world affairs from their earliest literary expression through the most exciting and difficult centuries in the nation's history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
