Information

For decades, we have been told we live in the “information age”—a time when disruptive technological advancement has reshaped the categories and social uses of knowledge and when quantitative assessment is increasingly privileged. Such methodologies and concepts of information are usually considered the provenance of the natural and social sciences, which present them as politically and philosophically neutral. Yet the humanities should and do play an important role in interpreting and critiquing the historical, cultural, and conceptual nature of information. This book is one of two companion volumes that explore theories and histories of information from a humanistic perspective. They...

Doing Public Humanities explores the cultural landscape from disruptive events to websites, from tours to exhibits, from after school arts programs to archives, giving readers a wide-ranging look at the interdisciplinary practice of public humanities. Combining a practitioner’s focus on case studies with the scholar’s more abstract and theoretical approach, this collection of essays is useful for both teaching and appreciating public humanities. The contributors are committed to presenting a public humanities practice that encourages social justice and explores the intersectionalities of race, class, gender, and sexualities. Centering on the experiences of students with many of the case studies focused on course projects, the content will enable them to relate to and better understand this new field of study. The text is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate classes in public history, historic preservation, history of art, engaged sociology, and public archaeology and anthropology, as well as public humanities.

Lied und populäre Kultur / Song and Popular Culture 65/2020

Das Jahrbuch 'Lied und populäre Kultur' 65/2020 ist den populären Liedern des langen 19. Jahrhunderts gewidmet, sind diese doch in doppelter Hinsicht Marginalisierungen unterworfen: einerseits dem negativen Werturteil der historischen Musikwissenschaft, zum anderen dem Desinteresse der aktuellen Popmusikforschung. Als Vorschlag zu einer Verständigung sollen diese Lieder als Ausdruck einer die Welt verändernden Epoche zwischen Spätaufklärung und Erstem Weltkrieg betrachtet und in ihren kulturellen Kontexten verortet werden.

Away from Home

  • Categories: Art

At least since the biblical Exodus, stories of establishing a home, leaving home either voluntarily or by force, and homecoming have collectively formed one of the great organizing subjects of Western civilization. Away From Home conveys the widespread and continuing import of such themes through provocative and playful projects by mid-career and emerging artists from five continents. Issues of home, travel, exile, nomadism and sense of place are reflected on by Franz Ackermann, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Allora y Calzadilla, Lisa Brice, Raul Cordero, Gregory Green, Lee Mingwei, Jac Leirner, Ken Lum, Marcos Ramirez (ERRE) and Jill Rowinski. Accompanying essays contribute a poignant recollection of an archetypal childhood journey; discuss the exhibition within and against the context of art world internationalism; and interlace wide-ranging comments on travel, home and recent art history with the specifics of Away From Home's artists and artworks.

Dynamic Fair Dealing

Dynamic Fair Dealing argues that only a dynamic, flexible, and equitable approach to cultural ownership can accommodate the astonishing range of ways that we create, circulate, manage, attribute, and make use of digital cultural objects. The Canadian legal tradition strives to balance the rights of copyright holders with public needs to engage with copyright protected material, but there is now a substantial gap between what people actually do with cultural forms and how the law understands those practices. Digital technologies continue to shape new forms of cultural production, circulation, and distribution that challenge both the practicality and the desirability of Canada's fair dealing p...
