The Art of Collaboration: An analysis of the collaboration between the artist and the disabled person which facilitates an engagement with wider society

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The current policy shift is toward a more inclusive society where people considered socially disadvantaged are no longer denied access to opportunities in education and employment. However it is clear that inclusion as a practice has far from been assimilated into our social structures. This book provides a model through which participation in the visual arts can be made more widely accessible. The core thinking is based on the creative experience of seven intellectually disabled people. The process used has been conceptualised as collaboration, as it involves the creative input of both the participants and facilitating artist. Each encounter has been de- constructed with a view to discovering the key elements which precipitate the artwork. Theoretical models used are the social model of disability which locates the disabling factors in environments and structure and not in people alongside post-structuralist theories which afford a re- … [detailed...]

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In an increasingly diverse workplace, it`s more important and challenging than ever to communicate well. We must build bridges that cross our differences to connect our similarities.

There is always a bridge. The Art of Connecting shows how to find it--every time. [detailed...]

The Art of Doing Good: Charity in Late Ming China

2009 y.

Description: An unprecedented passion for saving lives swept through late Ming society, giving rise to charitable institutions that transcended family, class, and religious boundaries. Analyzing lecture transcripts, administrative guidelines, didactic tales, and diaries, Joanna Handlin Smith abandons the facile explanation that charity was a response to poverty and social unrest and examines the social and economic changes that stimulated the fervor for doing good. With an eye for telling details and a finesse in weaving the voices of her subjects into her narrative, Smith brings to life the hard choices that five men faced when deciding whom to help, how to organize charitable distributions, and how to balance their communities` needs against the interests of family and self. She thus shifts attention from tired questions about whether the Chinese had a tradition of charity (they did) to analyzing the nature of charity itself. Skillfully organized and engaging, The Art of Doing Good moves from… [detailed...]

The Art of Economic Persuasion: Positive Incentives and German Economic Diplomacy

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Much has been written about a state`s use of the threat of military force or economic sanctions to change the behavior of another state. Less is known about the use of positive measures such as economic assistance and investment as a means of influence. This study looks at the ways in which government officials use economic instruments for foreign policy gains. More specifically, it examines the means by which a government can enhance its efforts at economic persuasion by inducing domestic business trade and investing in the target nation. The author demonstrates the domestic conditions under which the state can use commercial economic incentives to achieve foreign policy goals, especially where these incentives are meant to induce cooperative behavior from another state. Using the process of German-Polish reconciliation in the 1970s and 1980s as a case study, The Art of Economic Persuasion , argues that complex institutional links between the German government and the… [detailed...]
