Download or read book Between Matter and Method written by Gretchen Bakke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the lively exchange between anthropology and art that has emerged in recent years, Between Matter and Method makes a bold and creative contribution to this rapidly growing field. Taking an expansive approach to the arts, it finds commonalities in approaches that engage with visual artifacts, sound, performance, improvisation, literature, dance, theater, and design. The book questions current disciplinary boundaries and offers a new model grounded in a shared methodology for interdisciplinary encounter between art and anthropology. Gretchen Bakke and Marina Peterson have gathered together anthropologists whose work is notable for engaging the arts and creative practice in conceptually rigorous and methodologically innovative ways, including Kathleen Stewart, Keith Murphy, Natasha Myers, Stuart McLean, Craig Campbell, and Roger Sansi. Essays span the globe from Indonesia, West Virginia and Los Angeles in the United States, to the Orkney Islands in the UK, and Russia and Spain.
Download or read book Toronto Rocks written by Nick Eyles and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We use our knowledge of geology to build safer cities." (from Toronto Rocks) With its dense streetscapes, the Toronto region seems an unlikely location for a geological field trip, yet as our cities expand and natural landscape becomes buried, the greater the importance of the geology beneath our feet to our everyday existence. Where can we build safely? Where do we dump our garbage? Where are our ground waters and how can we protect them? What happens to salt we put on icy roads when it permeates into the ground in the spring? How strong are the rocks beneath the buildings we continue to push skyward? What do we do with polluted soil? How can we protect and preserve such national treasures as the Niagara Escarpment and the Oak Ridges Moraine? Will the CN Tower fall? What does the history of earthquakes tell us of possible future events? In Toronto Rocks, University of Toronto geology professor Nick Eyles conducts a unique tour of Canada's largest city past and present; a city of more than 6 million people where the past beneath our feet is perhaps more important than ever before.

As cities continue to expand, altering the natural landscape and changing the natural balance of the planet beneath our feet, the answers to questions about our geological past are more important today than ever before.

Book excerpt: High Park, Scarborough Bluffs, the Humber Valley, the Port Lands. These are among the special places of Toronto. Each is a unique ecosystem within the busy urban region. Even though Torontonians think of the city as almost entirely built up, savannah or wetlands are only a subway ride away. Special Places explores the changing ecosystems of the Toronto area over this century, looking at the environmental conditions that influence the whole region and at the surprising range of plants and animals you can still find in many of its natural spaces.
