Video Pedagogy
This book conceptualises the ways in which video has created a pedagogy for current learning and teaching practices, disciplines, and environments. It brings together the concepts and practice of video as pedagogy by providing theoretical discussion and practical guidance and recommendations on the use of video in learning and teaching, drawing on a wide range of case studies including nursing education, business education, architectural education, engineering, mathematics, physical education, science education, and screen production. Part I focuses on ‘video, students and learning’ and Part II on ‘video, teachers and practice’. The book covers various perspectives on the concept and use of video in learning and teaching: developing students’ practical skills and knowledge; using video for teaching culturally sensitive topics and cultural competency; for feedback, reflection, training and professional development; making and producing videos for educational purposes, with discussion on techniques, devices, software and strategies.
Baragouin
BARAGOUIN is a tongue-in-cheek artists' book by Los Angeles and Berlin-based artist Kim Schoen. The book is a companion piece to a video installation of the same name, filmed in a now-closed residential sculpture showroom in Los Angeles. The video BARAGOUIN presents these sculptures--which are derivative copies of original works of art--as an important collection of art and records their voices--a pastiche of verbal nonsense and phonetically imitated sounds of languages from around the world. The sculptures range in style and geographic origin from Buddhist to Rococo, Neoclassical to Modernist. BARAGOUIN, the book, catalogs these sculptures as a fictional collection and gives them each a clear art-historical provenance based on morphological resemblances. BARAGOUIN is designed by Ella Gold and includes an essay and expert provenance work by Edward Sterrett.
Crystal Growth Technology
Crystals are the unacknowledged pillars of modern technology. The modern technological developments depend greatly on the availability of suitable single crystals, whether it is for lasers, semiconductors, magnetic devices, optical devices, superconductors, telecommunication, etc. In spite of great technological advancements in the recent years, we are still in the early stage with respect to the growth of several important crystals such as diamond, silicon carbide, PZT, gallium nitride, and so on. Unless the science of growing these crystals is understood precisely, it is impossible to grow them as large single crystals to be applied in modern industry. This book deals with almost all the m...
Accidental Conflict
The misguided forces driving conflict escalation between America and China, and the path to a new relationship "A timely, fluid, readable assessment of a testy and rapidly changing global relationship."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) In the short span of four years, America and China have entered a trade war, a tech war, and a new Cold War. This conflict between the world's two most powerful nations wouldn't have happened were it not for an unnecessary clash of false narratives. America falsely blames its trade and technology threats on China yet overlooks its shaky saving foundation. China falsely blames its growth challenges on America's alleged containment of market-based socialism, ign...
Along the Archival Grain
Along the Archival Grain offers a unique methodological and analytic opening to the affective registers of imperial governance and the political content of archival forms. In a series of nuanced mediations on the nature of colonial documents from the nineteenth-century Netherlands Indies, Ann Laura Stoler identifies the social epistemologies that guided perception and practice, revealing the problematic racial ontologies of that confused epistemic space. Navigating familiar and extraordinary paths through the lettered lives of those who ruled, she seizes on moments when common sense failed and prevailing categories no longer seemed to work. She asks not what colonial agents knew, but what happened when what they thought they knew they found they did not. Rejecting the notion that archival labor be approached as an extractive enterprise, Stoler sets her sights on archival production as a consequential act of governance, as a field of force with violent effect, and not least as a vivid space to do ethnography.
