        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.
