Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A practical guide to art-based research. Art-based research uses artmaking as a primary mode of inquiry and presents art as evidence. While sharing many qualities with scientific inquiry, it is distinguished by the unique character and personal dimensions of each artwork. Artistic intelligence is a gestating, unpredictable, and often challenging crucible of creation that furthers discovery ahead of conscious thought. Rather than treating art as data to be analyzed by social science procedures, this guide lets art speak for itself, offering empirical evidence of artmaking's contributions to human understanding.Art Is the Evidence emphasizes how methods emerge, sometimes unplanned, from the art-based research process rather than from following fixed and preexisting institutionally approved methods. The book explores how to work creatively within prescribed structures and embrace tensions with them as sources of artistic transformation. It explores the role of video and digital media in generating convincing art evidence, universal accessibility involving trained and untrained artists, and the future importance of natural art experiments happening throughout the world beyond academic and professional settings.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This collection explores repair as a vital and varied practice across postcolonial Africa, not only as a response to breakage, but as a way of making life hold amid shifting material, political, and historical conditions. Repair across Africa is the first edited collection to focus specifically on repair in African contexts, bringing together a diverse group of scholars and practitioners from anthropology, geography, musicology, architecture, history, and critical urban studies. Moving beyond a narrow understanding of repair as merely fixing broken things, this volume explores it as a relational practice that bridges past and present, and connects the material with the social, economic, and spiritual. The essays investigate the role of repair in mitigating the wear and tear of time, addressing environmental disasters, engaging with colonial and postcolonial histories and their impact on urban transformation, and highlighting the artisanal skill and ingenuity behind these practices. The contributors illuminate how repair becomes a vital practice of resistance, care, and adaptation in a rapidly changing world, while also acknowledging the material and economic pressures that often make it necessary and sometimes hazardous. By situating repair within broader critiques of late capitalism and colonialism, and through its multidisciplinary approach, this book opens new conversations in material culture, heritage, urban life, and historical politics. It is poised to become a key reference in African studies and beyond.…

Neuware - A critical study applying Mikhail Bakhtin's theories to the study of visual art.This work is the first to propose a cohesive methodology for applying Russian philosopher and literary critic Mikhail Bakhtin's thought to visual art.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - What if art is not just a mirror of the world but a factory for its future This project brings artists and writers into dialogue, exploring how both groups generate knowledge through distinct but complementary methods--philosophic fabulation on the one hand, perception and affect on the other. In an age where we are drowning in data yet starved for meaning, alternative futures argues that art is an urgent toolkit for survival: a laboratory of sensation and imagination that equips us to feel, not just forecast, the worlds to come. This conversation asks not how to predict the future, but how to inhabit it--together, creatively, critically, and sensuously. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This study, now in its third edition and with an expanded chapter, explores the future trajectories of industrial civilization--and of futures studies itself. From the perspective of sublating Eastern and Western cultures and civilizations, this book argues for the urgency of industrial civilization's transformation. Zhouying Jin explores the future trajectories of humanity, the world, and human civilization; puts forward for the first time the concepts of 'global civilization' and 'great civilization' as two forms of advanced future civilizations for humanity, elucidating their core significance and practical approaches; and advocates for integrating the values of global civilization into the practice of sustainable development. This revised edition of Future of Humanity includes a substantially expanded chapter that addresses seven major contemporary topics in artificial intelligence, including setting red lines for AI development as well as the advantages and misconceptions of AI in education. A new appendix outlines major trends and methodologies in futures studies, bringing together contributions from one hundred thinkers, futurists, and thirty-five pioneering institutions.…
