The Picture of Contented New Wealth
In the brilliant red doom of a Hampshire Sunset, Brigit Conti can hear a voice behind her ears that is not her own. Bed-bound and complaining of a rare bone disease that no doctor can diagnose, her husband fears that the house they have purchased is a portal through which an older, more malign energy has passed, possessing his wife and son. Through their successive deterioration, his secular and agnostic worldview undergoes a metamorphosis, drawing him to a strange man from the hills - the Rector, their unlikely saviour - or are he and his family merely victims of their own self-serving yuppie way of life?

Co-operative Education, Politics, and Art
This timely and compelling volume furthers understandings of contemporary art education in international contexts and the position of alternative art colleges in relation to the neoliberal academy and arts economy. Defining the concept of ‘co-operative education’ and articulating its centrality and relevance to the so-called alternative or autonomous art schools it examines, the book presents innovative explorations of its central topics such as art educator identities, the non-profitisation of arts studios, and the Anthropocene while drawing these into relation with important contemporary political and academic concerns such as decolonisation, feminism, and neoliberalism. Chapters showcase a range of international viewpoints, dialogues, and empirical research contributions from notable scholars, renowned artists, and experienced educators. This book will be of use to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students in education policy and politics, arts education, and higher education. Members of professional bodies such as art historians, critics, and curators may also find the volume of interest.
Teaching Painting
The ways in which painting is taught within art schools and academies has, in recent years, undergone several significant changes. As the barriers between media eroded into more fluid borders, art schools have responded by adapting and evolving. Many painting departments have been absorbed into general Fine Art courses but specialist painting courses and pathways still continue to be developed. How have these courses defined and redefined themselves to reflect the current artistic landscape and how can painting maintain an identity within non-specialist approaches? Teaching Painting addresses the historical, theoretical, pedagogical and continually shifting methods of how the medium is taugh...
Craft Consciousness and Artistic Practice in Creative Writing
"As a mode of consciousness, craft does not follow the tropes of technique; and instead writers, as with all artists, explore material, formal, and aesthetic conditions through the development of an individual project and their evolution as artists over time. This book examines the theories and histories that define craft as a collaborative, anti-capitalistic, process-based philosophy that intervenes in traditions that exclude some writers from making art. Drawing from 25 interviews across the disciplines, Craft Consciousness and Artistic Practice in Creative Writing examines how artists traverse material, disciplinary, generic, and sociocultural factors that define them and their practice. It also argues that creative writers are artists who use craft consciousness as an exploratory, invention method that defies definitions of genre, discipline, or form. Craft consciousness revolutionizes the way we conceptualize and liberate the practicing artist who teaches and designs graduate programs for creative writers"--
Political Geography
We live in a rapidly changing world in which politics is becoming both more and less predictable at the same time: this makes political geography a particularly exciting topic to study. To make sense of the continuities and disruptions within this political world requires a strongly focused yet flexible text. This new (sixth) edition of Peter Taylor’s Political Geography proves itself fit for the task of coping with a frequently and rapidly changing geo-political landscape. Co-authored again with Colin Flint, it retains the intellectual clarity, rigour and vision of previous editions, based upon its world-systems approach. Reflecting the backdrop of the current global climate, this is the ...

This book provides an introduction to Hartshornes contributions to contemporary philosophy and theology. It also covers some of the current controversies in philosophy and theology that Hartshornes contributions have generated. The opening chapter is a lucid and penetrating introduction to Hartshornes thought. Some of the following chapters break new ground on issues that have concerned Hartshorne throughout his career: the nature and methods of metaphysics, the existence and nature of God, and the place of religion and metaphysics in the modern world. Many chapters survey the current state of controversies on those topics. Other chapters relate Hartshornes work to other traditions and to trends in contemporary philosophyto postmodernism, classical Western theism, Indian philosophy, analytical philosophy, and American pragmatism.
