      Felt art of Kazakhs

      by Shaizada Tokhtabayeva

      This book is dedicated to the promotion of the leading branch of Kazakh nation’s arts and crafts: the art of feltmaking. The album illustrates the total diversity of the most representative and typical felt items from the fund of the State Museum of Arts named after A. Kasteev. It also demonstrates felt pieces of work by modern professional applied artists. And these pieces reflect the heritage of the ethnic traditions combined with their authors’ fantasies. This book in the popular-scientific form presents the results of its author’s many-years research alongside with such analyses of felt works as cultural-and-genetic, structural-and-morphological, art-and-technical, semiotic, and historically comparative ones. In these analyses information from the theoretical data of archeology, source studies, ethnography, folklore studies, history of art, and semiotics was used. This book-album will become of an interest not only to specialists in the humanitarian area, but for everyone who is fascinated with the artistic heritage of the Kazakh nation.

      Higher education in a globalising context

      Community engagement and lifelong learning

      by Peter Mayo, Michael Osborne

      This book focuses on current policy discourse in Higher Education, with special reference to Europe. It discusses globalisation, Lifelong Learning, the EU's Higher Education discourse, this discourse's regional ramifications and alternative practices in Higher Education from both the minority and majority worlds with their different learning traditions and epistemologies. It argues that these alternative practices could well provide the germs for the shape of a public good oriented Higher Education for the future. It theoretically expounds on important elements to consider when engaging Higher Education and communities, discussing the nature of the term 'community' itself. Special reference is accorded to the difference that lies at the core of these ever-changing communities. It then provides an analysis of an 'on the ground project' in University community engagement, before suggesting signposts for further action at the level of policy and provision.

      Death in modern theatre

      Stages of mortality

      by Adrian Curtin, Maria M. Delgado

      Death in modern theatre offers a unique account of modern Western theatre, focusing on the ways in which dramatists and theatre-makers have explored historically informed ideas about death and dying in their work. It investigates the opportunities theatre affords to reflect on the end of life in a compelling and socially meaningful fashion. In a series of interrelated, mostly chronological, micronarratives beginning in the late nineteenth-century and ending in the early twenty-first century, this book considers how and why death and dying are represented at certain historical moments using dramaturgy and aesthetics that challenge audiences' conceptions, sensibilities, and sense-making faculties. It includes a mix of well-known and lesser-known plays from an international range of dramatists and theatre-makers, and offers original interpretations through close reading and performance analysis.
