Paperback. Condition: Good. This book highlights the change-making capacity of culture by exploring the intellectual and practical interventions of "courageous citizens." These citizens can be thinkers, artists, activists and collectives--those whose thoughts, ideas and actions play a pivotal role in the struggle for just societies. It is these change-makers who, through their everyday actions, work toward a collective future and complex societal reconfigurations.Looking back at the past decade, this book identifies three themes which have been, and continue to be, relevant to social change: identity and diversity; culture, communities and democracies; and solidarity and fragmentation. It shows how courageous citizens have activated the cycles of thinking and rethinking, doing and changing, which have altered the way we view the world. Combining theoretical perspectives with case studies, this book aims to demonstrate the potential of culture to generate positive social change.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The work of Belgian-Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (born 1976) and British-Bengali choreographer Akram Khan (born 1974), two of today's most prolific choreographers, has in many ways defined the first decade of 21st- century dance. Both choreographers have extensively discussed identity as a significant concern, and both artists have positioned themselves biographically and in practice as working between dance cultures. Critic Guy Cools, who has followed the careers of both choreographers since their emergence, explores Cherkaoui and Khan's work in this volume within larger critical debates about postmodern and post-migrant identity. Connecting the dancer's awareness and knowledge of the body to the overdetermined identity of the migrant body, Cools offers in-depth readings of some of Cherkaoui and Khan's most iconic dance pieces as critical engagements with the choreographers' migratory experiences.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The idea of the "foodscape" refers to the social and spatial organization of networks and food supply systems, taking into account the physical places and practices of food production, processing, distribution, sales, preparation and consumption.In an age when issues of food scarcity, unequal food distribution and pollution and contamination regularly make the news, thinking about food-related problems and challenges is becoming increasingly critical. These issues influence our planet, our global way of life and our everyday existence. Flourishing Foodscapes brings together case studies to explore how bottom-up initiatives and private projects are trying to future-proof food communities around the world. An accessible introduction to a complex topic, Flourishing Foodscapes argues that if we really want to do something about our world's food problems, we will have to think structurally about these issues on a larger scale.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Art, pedagogy and the destruction of experience under lockdown: how culture defines the difference between surviving the pandemic and thriving beyond itThe Covid-19 crisis has taught us how invaluable human presence is, not least in terms of the arts and pedagogy; ultimately, neither art nor education can do without physical proximity. Like works of art, people lose what one might call their auras, when kept at digital arm's length; few would deny that the pandemic has negatively affected our ability to read bodily cues and non-linguistic signals, and art likewise is lifeless when it cannot engage with the proprioception of bodies. In Nearness, philosopher Marlies De Munck and sociologist Pascal Gielen diagnose this new reality with which we are all contending, arguing that it is culture that defines the difference between surviving and living, that offers a model for thriving rather than merely persisting.
