Book excerpt: Moving Otherwise examines how contemporary dance practices in Buenos Aires, Argentina enacted politics within climates of political and economic violence from the mid-1960s to the mid-2010s. From the repression of military dictatorships to the precarity of economic crises, contemporary dancers and audiences consistently responded to and reimagined the everyday choreographies that have accompanied Argentina's volatile political history. The titular concept, "moving otherwise" names how both concert dance and its off-stage practice and consumption offer alternatives to and modes to critique the patterns of movement and bodily comportment that shape everyday life in contexts marked by violence. Drawing on archival research based in institutional and private collections, over fifty interviews with dancers and choreographers, and the author's embodied experiences as a collaborator and performer with active groups, the book analyzes how a wide range of practices moved otherwise, including concert works, community dance initiatives, and the everyday labor that animates dance. It demonstrates how these diverse practices represent, resist, and remember violence and engender new forms of social mobilization on and off the theatrical stage. As the first book length critical study of Argentine contemporary dance, it introduces a breadth of choreographers to an English speaking audience, including Ana Kamien, Susana Zimmermann, Estela Maris, Alejandro Cervera, Renate Schottelius, Susana Tambutti, Silvia Hodgers, and Silvia Vladimivsky. It also considers previously undocumented aspects of Argentine dance history, including crossings between contemporary dancers and 1970s leftist political militancy, Argentine dance labor movements, political protest, and the prominence of tango themes in contemporary dance works that address the memory of political violence. Contemporary dance, the book demonstrates, has a rich and diverse history of political engagement in Argentina.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book explores how women of the early Franco regime (1939-53) adapted rural music traditions and Spanish nationalism according to different political circumstances. The Sección Femenina (Women's Section) of the fascist Falange party officially represented the regime's views and policies on female gender roles. Through their Music Department, these women shaped traditional Spanish songs and dances to promote ideas of Catholic morality throughout the nation's culturally diverse regions, helped legitimize colonial involvement in Spain's African territories, and formed political ties with the Allied powers after the Second World War. This book is particularly relevant to readers with interests in 20th-century Spanish history, cultural diplomacy, and the Cold War"--
Download or read book Body Memory Metaphor and Movement written by Sabine C. Koch and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-25 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body Memory, Metaphor and Movement is an interdisciplinary volume with contributions from philosophers, cognitive scientists, and movement therapists. Part one provides the phenomenologically grounded definition of body memory with its different typologies. Part two follows the aim to integrate phenomenology, conceptual metaphor theory, and embodiment approaches from the cognitive sciences for the development of appropriate empirical methods to address body memory. Part three inquires into the forms and effects of therapeutic work with body memory, based on the integration of theory, empirical findings, and clinical applications. It focuses on trauma treatment and the healing power of movement. The book also contributes to metaphor theory, application and research, and therefore addresses metaphor researchers and linguists interested in the embodied grounds of metaphor. Thus, it is of particular interest for researchers from the cognitive sciences, social sciences, and humanities as well as clinical practitioners.

Download or read book La Guia de los Nuevos Estimulantes written by Thierry Souccar and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-07 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Por qué si nuestra vida es más fácil, el trabajo más suave que antaño, la alimentación superior y la esperanza de vida roza los ochenta años, nos medicamos mucho más que antes. Seguramente la respuesta está en la falta de motivación, es decir, en la costumbre de tener un medicamento para todo: si engordamos una pastilla nos hará adelgazar; si no dormimos, un tranquilizante nos ayudará a dormir; etc. No se trata de cuestionar el papel indispensable del médico, sino, simplemente de recordar que existen medicamentos, tradicionales o modernos que, en algunos casos, han sido eficaces. Pero, atención, es el médico quien debe decidir la necesidad real de un tratamiento y la utilización de un producto más allá de las indicaciones legales. Apoyado por numerosas revistas científicas, este libro nos introduce en el núcleo de los mecanismos que deciden nuestra forma física e intelectual. Lejos de recetas preestablecidas, evalúa los medios a nuestra disposición e invita a que cada uno reflexione y evalúe la oportunidad de concienciarse. Al mismo tiempo, actualiza el antiguo adagio de Hipócrates: "Que tu alimento sea tu medicina". Este libro recoge un largo mosaico de productos -con algunas reservas- con un objetivo claro: describir el uso actual de moléculas psicoestimulantes (no estupefacientes) sin convertirlas en medicinas de uso diario. El lector descubrirá que puede tomar un euforizante unido a un antiamnésico y a un antiestresante, etc., comprobando que el riesgo de toxicidad es débil o inexistente, pero dándose cuenta de que existe una carencia allí donde el cuerpo y el espíritu funcionan perfectamente.

Download or read book Arts Therapies and the Mental Health of Children and Young People written by Uwe Herrmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-24 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arts Therapies and The Mental Health of Children and Young People presents innovative research, theory and practice in the arts therapies. The different social, cultural and political contexts and developmental age groups illustrate and underscore the richness and diversity of contemporary arts therapies' creative response to the needs of children and young people in contrasting locations. The book represents an acknowledgement of the high rates of mental disorders in children and young people and addresses this subject. In presenting an array of responses from arts therapists working with children and young people in different contexts and countries, the book highlights the particular features of distinct art forms, yet also points to the potential dialogue between disciplines. Chapters show how the expressive potential and appeal of the arts, when facilitated within the therapeutic relationship, are crucial in fostering hope in the future and the capacity for trust in self and others. This book will be of great interest to arts therapists as well as academics and postgraduate students in the fields of arts therapies, social work, psychotherapy, health psychology, and education.

Book excerpt: Un día, sin un pretendido vuelo de poeta sino más bien en humilde intento de planeo trovador, inicié este proyecto que llamé "Un pensamiento cada día", con la idea de registrar un borrador de reflexiones diarias. Sin pretender ser un conocedor he abordado diferentes temas y diferentes estructuras literarias tratando de experimentar en varias formas de escribir y decir cosas. El hecho de publicar inicialmente en un medio tan interactivo como lo es un Blog de Internet, me ha permitido entender que aún sin ser un escritor de profesión, existen lectores a quienes les gusta mi forma de escribir y buscan en mis textos, formas simples que expresen de alguna manera lo que ellos piensan y sienten. El haber alcanzado 215,000 accesos al Blog en poco menos de tres años ha sido un motivador clave para buscar otras formas de difusión como son el libro impreso y el formato digital.
Download or read book Action Research in the World Language Classroom written by Mary Lynn Redmond and published by IAP. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current thrust in the field of education is to improve teachers’ understanding of how research on best practices can improve student learning. The field of world language education introduces a double, perhaps a triple, bind: teachers must be able to design and deliver instruction that aligns with national expectations for developing students’ language and intercultural abilities for success in the global workplace, yet in schools across America, all K-12 students do not have the opportunity to study languages, even though research supports their astonishing facility for acquisition. Schools and teachers without resources, including time to investigate and implement evidence-based best practices, are ultimately held accountable for student performance. If world language teachers are to advocate for languages, they must use their expertise and share evidence of their students’ progress. The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) recently began development of a national research priorities agenda for grades preK-16. Action research, which is classroom-centered and inquiry-based, can contribute to our profession’s efforts, as it helps us to increase awareness of the critical need for language study in grades preK-16. World language teachers can become teacher-researchers in their own classrooms, gathering deeply meaningful insights into their students’ progress that they can share with others. Teacher-researchers investigate innovative approaches in response to their questions about teaching and learning, which are rooted in daily experience. They engage their students in fresh learning activities, and student feedback helps them to make better decisions about instructional and assessment strategies. Results can be shared with stakeholders, including parents, administrators, school board members, and guidance counselors, as evidence of what all kinds of students can do in languages. At a time in our history when we are striving to prepare teachers for 21st-century schools that prioritize global competence, Action Research in the World Language Classroom is a timely resource for the profession. It describes a natural, engaging, motivating way to contribute, particularly for preservice teachers who are shaping their views and understanding about world language instruction and the connections between research and best practices. The book includes four studies conducted by preservice teachers during their student teaching internships in North Carolina public schools. The editor hopes that their work and observations will inspire and assist world language educators at all stages of their careers.

Download or read book Music Dance Affect and Emotions in Latin America written by Pablo Vila and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-02-14 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music, Dance, Affect, and Emotions in Latin America is a collection of essays that analyze different manifestations of Argentine music and dance taking advantage of the exciting new theoretical developments advanced by the current affective turn. Contributors deal with the relationship between music, dance, affects, feelings, and emotions in different scenarios and show how the embodiment of music shape the experiential in ways that may impact upon but nevertheless many times evade conscious knowing. This book is one of the first academic attempts (regardless of region or country of scope) to try to solve some of the most important problems the affective turn has identified regarding how music and dance have been researched so far, such as the tendency, in representational accounts of music, to ignore the sensory and sonic registers to the detriment of the embodied and lived registers of experience and feeling that unfold in the process of making or listening to music.
