Women Veterans Lifting the Veil of Invisibility

Women Veterans Lifting the Veil of Invisibility

Women who fight in wars also have to fight for their right to do so. But what are the obstacles impeding their progress in achieving equal status as both active service members and as veterans? This book written by a team of female veterans and military scholars demonstrates the ways in which women service members and veterans experience a unique set of challenges when attempting to both honorably serve their country and reintegrate into civilian society following military service. These challenges include – but are not limited to – discrimination staggering rates of suicide and barriers to obtaining treatment for military sexual trauma and other critical benefits through the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Women Veterans: Lifting the Veil of Invisibility examines current service-related policies and gender in the military’s hierarchical power structure. Here a confluence of white male privilege and entitlement the culture of domination and the effeminization of the enemy manifest themselves as a backlash against women calling into question a woman’s agency and her very status as a citizen. Special attention in the book is paid to the civil-military divide representative bureaucracy and the function of the military and civilian justice systems. Moreover the need for appropriate healthcare policies and structures is examined within a ‘wicked problems’ framework. The authors conclude that the responsibility for women veterans and all veterans for that matter must become a matter of compelling government interest. This ground-breaking book is required reading for practitioners of public policy and administration with an interest in military and veterans affairs public health NGOs and activist groups as well as scholars of gender and public service public personnel management and nonprofit management. | Women Veterans Lifting the Veil of Invisibility

Expressive Conducting Movement and Performance Theory for Conductors

Expressive Conducting Movement and Performance Theory for Conductors

Expressive Conducting: Movement and Performance Theory for Conductors applies the insight of movement and performance theory to the practice of conducting offering a groundbreaking new approach to conducting. Where traditional conducting pedagogies often place emphasis on training parts of the body in isolation Expressive Conducting teaches conductors to understand their gestures as part of an interconnected system that incorporates the whole body. Rather than emphasizing learning specific patterns and gestures this book enables student and professional conductors to develop a conducting technique that is centered around expressing the themes of the music. Drawing parallels to the worlds of acting this text treats the body as the conductor’s instrument. Coaching notes derived from years of experience as a performance movement specialist offer readers approachable methods for eliminating communication barriers—both conscious and subconscious—to encourage optimal performance highlighting acting theory movement exercises and the significance of weight distribution. Unlike other conducting approaches this text understands that conducting resonates throughout the entire body and is not conveyed by the hands or baton alone. With a comprehensive consideration of the conductor’s body and movements featuring over 50 original illustrations Expressive Conducting advances strategies for improving one’s conducting skills in rehearsal and performance. Jerald Schwiebert has developed a practical language for expressive conducting. Together Schwiebert and Barr present a text that is suitable for conducting students instructors and professionals alike. | Expressive Conducting Movement and Performance Theory for Conductors
