How to Teach Art?
A cooperative reflection on how to teach art. How should art be taught? What kind of knowledge should artists absorb? How might an ordinary person become a creature addicted to the creative process? In other words, how can a non-artist become an artist? Such programmatic questions articulated by acclaimed Polish artist Artur Żmijewski were at the heart of the workshop "How to Teach Art?" Żmijewski invited a group of graduate and doctoral students from three Zurich universities--the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, the University of Zurich, and the Zurich University of the Arts--to collectively reflect on their artistic practices. Over the course of four months, the group met several times a week for hourlong sessions, following individual and collective exercises induced by Żmijewski himself. This book retraces the workshop and its process by showing inconclusive, fragmentary results between theory and practice. How to Teach Art? presents drawings, videos, photographs, 16mm films, and accompanying reflections on the central premise, "How to teach art?"
Case Studies and Activities in Adult Education and Human Resource Development
Case studies have become a widely-used instructional tool in many educational environments. The use of case studies began in the 1950s at Harvard Business School. Today, they may be used as part of a course of study, or as the main focus of a course, to which other material is added. While the use of case studies is prevalent in schools of business and medicine, they are not often used in adult education or human resource development. This may be because there are no current major publications that deal with the use of case studies in these disciplines; nor are there any major databases of adult education or human resource development case studies for instructors to use. Good case studies ca...
Ruote di ferro
Un viaggio ferroviario tra fantasie e realtà nel corso degli ultimi decenni di una Ferrovia, concepita ancora come un settore dello Stato. Un'avventura personale dell'autore, tra persone e situazioni in qualche modo, tragico o da commedia, legate ai binari su cui rotolano, in un modo monotono, come di un segnatempo, le Ruote di Ferro dei treni; treni senza tecnologia, fatti d'immagini, di sogni, di paesaggi nel contesto d'una antica realtà lavorativa svolta come un servizio dovuto alla comunità. Il locomotore, il treno, il lavoro svolto semplici cornici al mondo attraversato dai binari; quel mondo che è, in fondo, il vero protagonista di ogni attimo vissuto. Il lungo viaggio ferroviario tra le linee toscane della tirrenica, delle tratte di Saline, Volterra, della Garfagnana, Aulla, con vecchi locomotori costruiti durante il Ventennio fascista, e nuovi treni più moderni. Tra Pisa, Lucca, Livorno, attraverso dormitori, "maestri" macchinisti, baristi, mogli eroiche e pazienti, si dipana la scoperta di un paese che cambia e si trasforma. L'Italia scorre veloce, tanto veloce, da non ricordarne il profilo salutato al primo viaggio.
Bungalow Modernity
Despite its cozy image, the bungalow in literature and film is haunted by violence even while fostering possibilities for personal transformation, utopian social vision and even comedy. Originating in Bengal and adapted as housing for colonialist ventures worldwide, the homes were sold in mail-order kits during the "bungalow mania" of the early 20th century and enjoyed a revival at century's end. The bungalow as fictional setting stages ongoing contradictions of modernity--home and homelessness, property and dispossession, self and other--prompting a rethinking of our images of house and home. Drawing on the work of writers, architects and film directors, including Katherine Mansfield, E. M. Forster, Amitav Ghosh, Frank Lloyd Wright, Willa Cather, Buster Keaton and Walter Mosley, this study offers new readings of the transcultural bungalow.
