Memory and Fabrication in East Asian Visual Culture Ruinous Garden

Memory and Fabrication in East Asian Visual Culture Ruinous Garden

This book examines four contemporary sites of visual culture in East Asia through the poetic prism of the “ruinous garden. ” Framing destroyed discarded and displaced material objects within a rhetoric of development and relating this to the experience of ethnic/national culture the book presents succinct analyses of visual works as well as cultural criticisms centered on space in metropolitan Japan and Hong Kong China. These analyses are placed in dialog with approaches from postcolonial texts addressing development and fractures in representation. Additionally the book suggests graphic design as a form of retrospective cultural thinking encompassing visual and invisible modernity as well as an attachment to disappearing space. Offering a unique and thorough analysis of Japanese visual culture combining discussion on photography installation art and graphic design as well as integrating material from Hong Kong visual culture in discussions of identity this book will appeal to students and scholars of visual culture in East Asia environmental art and environmental humanities. | Memory and Fabrication in East Asian Visual Culture Ruinous Garden

Therapy with Children An Existential Perspective

Therapy with Children An Existential Perspective

This book explores the existential themes and challenges present in all therapeutic relationships when working with children. Existential ideas and concepts are a rapidly growing influence on the practice of psychotherapy and yet their application to work with children remains largely unexplored. This book begins to redress this imbalance in a practical and engaging way by presenting an existential perspective on some key themes in practicing psychotherapy with children including: play anxiety guilt choice family relationships language and process. Each chapter is punctuated with engaging vignettes of case material blending theoretical insight with the realities of practice. Through these narratives readers are challenged to question their own assumptions and beliefs whether they are new to existential psychotherapy or already immersed in its rich philosophical traditions. Children are born into the world without choice and are drawn towards making connections with others developing self-awareness and personal identity. | Therapy with Children An Existential Perspective

Curating with Care

Curating with Care

This book presents over 20 authors’ reflections on ‘curating care’ – and presents a call to give curatorial attention to the primacy of care for all life and for more ‘caring curating’ that responds to the social ecological and political analysis of curatorial caregiving. Social and ecological struggles for a different planetary culture based on care and respect for the dignity of life are reflected in contemporary curatorial practices that explore human and non-human interdependence. The prevalence of themes of care in curating is a response to a dual crisis: the crisis of social and ecological care that characterizes global politics and the professional crisis of curating under the pressures of the increasingly commercialized cultural landscape. Foregrounding that all beings depend on each other for life and survival this book collects theoretical essays methodological challenges and case studies from curators working in different global geographies to explore the range of ways in which curatorial labour is rendered as care. Practising curators activists and theorists situate curatorial labour in the context of today’s general care crisis. This volume answers to the call to more fully understand how their transformative work allows for imagining the future of bodily social and environmental care and the ethics of interdependency differently. | Curating with Care

Resettlement with People First Counterfactual Pathways

Resettlement with People First Counterfactual Pathways

Should people in the way lose out as new reservoirs mines plantations or superhighways displace them from their homes and livelihoods? What if the process of resettlement were made accountable to those impacted empowering them to achieve just outcomes and to share in the benefits of development projects? This book seeks to answer these questions putting forward powerful counterfactual case studies to assess what problems real-world development projects would likely have avoided if the project had included the affected people in decision making about whether and how they should resettle. Drawing on contributions from leading and emerging scholars from around the world this book considers cases involving dams mines roads and housing amongst others from Asia Africa and South America. In each case the counterfactual approach invites us to reconsider how the dynamics of accountability play out through resettlement hazards and the asymmetries of power relations in the negotiation of displacement benefits and redress. Considering a range of theoretical and ethical perspectives the book concludes with practical alternative policy suggestions for displacement arising both from development and from slow onset climate change. This book’s novel approach focussing on the people's agency in the dynamics of governance accountability and (dis)empowerment in development projects with displacement and resettlement will appeal to academic researchers development practitioners and policymakers. | Resettlement with People First Counterfactual Pathways
