Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary modernism and its aftermath saw few more enigmatic practitioners than Henry Green. Green was a remarkably innovative and experimental novelist, while also being a keenly perceptive observer of the turbulent times in which he wrote. With his writing spanning the high-point of modernism in the 1920s, the turn towards greater social and political engagement in the 1930s and the search for new beginnings in the post-war period, Green's texts reflect some of the most important literary developments of the twentieth century. This book takes a fresh approach to Green, one that places his work firmly in its contemporary critical context. By exploring the insights of two of the most formative critics of the period, T.S. Eliot and F.R. Leavis, the book explores how Green was able to bring about creative tension between the competing claims of formal innovation and social engagement. Through new explanations and evaluations of the texts, the author demonstrates the depth and originality of Green's achievement in tangible and specific form. The book also explores the particularly productive relationship between creative and critical endeavours that flourished in this landmark literary period.

Book Synopsis The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Positive Psychology by : Nicholas J. L. Brown
Download or read book The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Positive Psychology written by Nicholas J. L. Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the turn of the twenty-first century, the field of positive psychology has sought to implement a science of human flourishing so that we may lead happier, more fulfilling lives. It has found expression not only in academic papers but also popular books and, increasingly, in government policy. The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Positive Psychology is the first volume dedicated to a critical appraisal of this influential but controversial field of study. The book critically examines not only the scientific foundations of positive psychology, but also the sociocultural and political tenets on which the field rests. It evaluates the current field of knowledge and practice, and includes chapters analysing the methodological constructs of the field, as well as others that question what positive psychology actually means by ideas such as happiness or well-being. Taking the debate further, the book then discusses how positive psychology can be applied in a wider variety of settings than is presently the case, helping communities and individuals by acknowledging the reality of people’s lives rather than adhering strictly to debateable theoretical constructs. Including contributions from disciplines ranging from psychoanalysis to existential therapy, theology to philosophy, and contributors from throughout the world, The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Positive Psychology will be enlightening reading for anyone interested in how psychology has sought to understand human well-being.

Book Synopsis Creativity, Technology & Education: Exploring their Convergence by : Punya Mishra
Download or read book Creativity, Technology & Education: Exploring their Convergence written by Punya Mishra and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of beautifully written essays, Mishra, Henriksen, and the Deep-play Research Group challenge myths about technology and creativity, debate time-honored instructional practices, and play with new ideas for schools to care for and nurture, rather than constrain, creativity. These essays are provocative ... refreshing, [and] insightful —Dr. Yong Zhao, Foundation Distinguished Professor, University of Kansas and Fellow, Mitchell Institute for Health and Education Policy, Victoria University, Australia. What is creativity? Why is it important? What does it look like across different disciplines and contexts? What role does technology play, if any, in the creative process? And finally, what do creativity and technology have to do with education? These are the questions that underlie the collection of articles in this book. These essays provide a broad analytic frame for thinking about creativity, technology and education and describe classroom examples as well as strategies for evaluating creative artifacts and creative environments. All of these are grounded in specific examples from across a wide range of disciplines and contexts—art, mathematics, engineering, computer science, graphic design, architecture, science to name just a few. The final essays take a broader perspective on creativity and technology focusing both on our highly inter-connected YouTube world but also possibilities for the future. Creativity, Technology & Education: Exploring their Convergence is a vital resource for educators and practitioners as they seek to incorporate creative work and thoughtful pedagogy in their personal and professional lives.

Book Synopsis The Creativity Market by : Dominique Hecq
Download or read book The Creativity Market written by Dominique Hecq and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on creative writing both as a subject in universities and beyond academia, with chapters arranged around three organising sub-themes of practice, research and pedagogy. It explores the ‘creative’ component of creative writing in the globalised marketplace, making the point that creative writing occurs in and around universities throughout the world. It examines the convergence of education, globalisation and economic discourses at the intersection of the university sector and creative industries, and foregrounds the competing interests at the core of creativity as it appears in the neo-liberal global discourse in which writers are enmeshed. The book offers case studies from the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia and Singapore that are indicative of the challenges faced by academics, postgraduate students and creative industry professionals around the world.

Download or read book Converge written by Bob W. Lord and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob Lord and Ray Velez of Razorfish - the all-media, cutting-edge advertising agency - offer a clear description of the effects of today's collision of marketing and technology. They explain the challenges and opportunities inherent in a transformed world of business. Razorfish has profited from and at times even driven the current techno-media wave of change in both technology and media. The authors' ideas are valuable, but not ahead of the curve. They discuss what is already well underway, rather than predicting coming changes. getAbstract recommends their keen assessment of the complex status quo to those who need to understand it better and to those considering change, involved in marketing or shaping corporate messages.

Book Synopsis A Concept of Critical Feeling by : Richard Blackburn
Download or read book A Concept of Critical Feeling written by Richard Blackburn and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first part of the analysis, Act 1: Divergence, exposes the problem of prioritizing critical thinking in the language arts curriculum. An emphasis on criticality is discordant with the way in which individuals ascribe--and, indeed, make meaning. Affect is a necessary precondition to conceptualization. As such, rather than a focus on critical thinking, the author proposes an emphasis on critical feeling, defined as an affective stance of inquiry as the intuitive consideration of possibility that sparks imagination. The concept of critical feeling is grounded in the way artists assess the perceptual quality of meaning using affective inquiry, analogous to the way in which scientists assess the conceptual quality of meaning using critical inquiry. Critical feeling is understood in relation to Susanne Langer's theory of presentational abstraction. Langer's metaphysics of feeling proposes an artistic inquiry paradigm, which the author uses to explain how documentary's production phases of scripting, shooting and editing externalize sub-processes of artistic creativity as acts of impulsive, actualized and consummated experience that can be taught as critical feeling's dynamic processes of feeling, seeing and saying. In parallel with an exploration of the concept of critical feeling, the author expounds the suitability of a grounded theory methodology for an exploration of creative processes. In flipping the scientific method's hypothesis-exposition-demonstration dynamic, grounded theory methodology holds the greatest promise for preserving the integrity of artistic knowledge. The second part, Act 2: Emergence, explicates the concept of critical feeling from an educational neuroscientific perspective. The power of storytelling is explained by the primacy of affective experience and emotional response in understanding the world around us. Langer's metaphysical frame provides a bio-psychological grounding for the author's proposition; that storytelling's process of affective inquiry produces meaning from feeling and storymaking's process of emergence produces feeling from experience--much like proto-language allows for non-discursive communication. The dynamic reality of the creative advance is a cycle of divergence, emergence and convergence that we respond to as possibility, actuality and presentation and recognize as intuition, imagination and affirmation. What we feel is the emotional situation of our body states, simulative and actual, created from the processes of our dynamic reality of self-production. The standard creative practices of long form narrative documentary filmmaking are conceptualized as an exosomatic model of the creative processes of storymaking, revealing their great potential for teaching creativity without dilution of the artistic voice.Act 3: Convergence develops the pedagogical implications of the concept of critical feeling. If creativity is conceptualized metaphorically as a consideration of possibility, then the dynamics of artistic production are reminiscent of the means by which children naturally produce knowledge using creativity's basic social processes of feeling, seeing and saying along an emotion-affect-feeling circuit. Documentary's storymaking model is particularly effective for teaching creativity in that it emulates the processual flow of the creative advance--flashes are more frequent during scripting; shooting is designed to produce moments; and editing is conducive to responding to the voices that emerge from the material--allowing for a presentational immediacy conducive to artistic expression. The author concludes by proposing a productionist stance of inquiry, building on Antonio Damasio's feeling of knowing and inversing Mary Helen Immordino-Yan's emotional thought sequence of creative processes to develop an approach to teaching writing as production emphasizing affective participation." --

Book Synopsis Creative Industries in Canada by : Miranda Campbell
Download or read book Creative Industries in Canada written by Miranda Campbell and published by Canadian Scholars. This book was released on 2022-08-05 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creative Industries in Canada is a foundational text that encourages students to think critically about creative industries within a Canadian context and interrogate the current state and future possibilities of the industry. While much of current creative industries literature concerns the United Kingdom, the United States, and Asia, this text captures the breadth of how Canadian industries are organized and experienced, and how they operate. This ambitious collection aims to guide students through the current landscape of Canadian creative industries through three thematic sections. “Production” collects chapters focused on how national discourses and identities are produced through creative industries and the tensions that exist between policy and media. “Participation” explores how we engage with these industries in different roles: as consumer, creator, policy-maker, and more. “Pedagogies” explores how education impacts inclusion and visibility in creative industries. Truly intersectional, Creative Industries in Canada provides students with practical industry knowledge and frameworks to explore the current state of the field and its future. With a broad application to many undergraduate programs, this text is a must-read resource for those pursuing media studies, arts management, creative and cultural industries studies, communications, and arts and humanities.
