Carole is a Research Professor and Julian is a Reader in Design. Both have PhDs and extensive experience of supervising and examining research degrees in art and design and related areas. Both are practitioners with a belief in the creative relationship between practice, teaching and research. A visual artist, Carole makes context-specific artwork using new materials and technolo- gies. As a designer and maker Julian maintains a long-term interest in ceramics research, in particular how new technologies can support new models of craft practice. After completing ‘the wrong PhD’ in 1988 – an investigation of art college teaching styles – Carole has since focused on understanding experiential, constructive learning styles, especially visual learning styles, and increasingly within higher degree frame- works. Much of this research has been done with Julian. Carole is currently the co-ordinator of On the Edge – a major AHRB funded research project with Ann Douglas as principal researcher. This work investigates the value of art in remote rural locations (www.ontheedgeresearch.org). It presents a unique opportu- nity to develop and evaluate co-operative and discursive methodologies in visual arts research, including creative visual methods, and appropriate ‘artistic’ strategies of evalu- ation and dissemination. Carole is particularly interested in how this particular research can inform curriculum development in terms of cultural and contextual responsiveness and responsibility, and its role in developing the School’s contribution to the culture in which it is located, through strategic partnerships and co-operations. Julian’s PhD focused on methods for firing studio ceramics. One of the most signifi- cant challenges arising from the research was to resolve the tensions between the estab- lished research methodology in applied sciences and those emerging alternative approaches in Art and Design. This led to an ongoing exploration of appropriate research methods for artists and designers. He is currently involved in a number of projects concerned with exploiting web- based technologies for teaching and learning. These include the development of innov- ative managed learning environments, reflection and assessment systems designed to encourage a constructivist approach to learning, and interfaces designed to support students with disabilities. As committed practitioners, educators and researchers, Carole and Julian continue to be excited by the challenges posed by research, and they continue to learn.

  • Class 200: New Studies in Religion”
    V NEWS n New Book Series: “Class 200: New Studies in Religion” The University of Chicago Press has recently launched a new book series: “Class 200: New Stud- ies in Religion.” The editors of the series are Kathryn Lofton (Department of Religious Studies, Yale University) and John Lardas Modern (Department of Religious Studies, Franklin & Mar- shall College). According to the editors, “Class 200 offers the most innovative works in the study of religion today. Resting on a generation of critical scholarship that reevaluated the central categories of the field, the series aims to surpass that good work by rebuilding the vocabulary of, and estab- lishing new questions for, religious studies. “The series will publish authors who understand descriptions of religion to be always bound up in explanations for it. It will nurture authorial reflexivity, documentary intensity, and gene- alogical responsibility. The series presumes no inaugurating definition of religion other than what it is not: it is not reducible to demographics, doctrines, or cognitive mechanics. It is more than a discursive concept or cultural idiom. It is something that can be named only with a pre- cise and poetic wrestling with the nature of its naming. “Class 200 seeks to renew the study of religion as a field of inquiry that is open in terms of disciplinary affiliation, relishes archival and ethnographic immersion, and is scrupulous in its use of categories. The series is not defined by topics but by certain shared fundamentals: rigor, an investment in language, an awareness of authority, and a strategy regarding the politics of truth claims in any archival or anthropological situation.” More information can be found at the University of Chicago Press’s website: http://www.

Created in alumna who lives and works in Paris, France. 2010 on behalf of Latour and collaborator Valerie Pihet at SciencesPo Paris, this highly selective multidisciplinary program accepts a circle of about fifteen participants (mostly thirtysomething professionals from the social sciences, the arts, and the political milieu) each year out of approximately eighty applications pooled internationally, of which nearly half are French. SPEAP is a little bit of everything—a one-year master’s program, a postdoctoral research hub, an école, a residency workshop, a therapy group, and a think tank. I even once heard Pihet call it an école de parole (talk school), inadvertently nodding to SPEAP’s hosting epicenter and namesake—SciencesPo, an elite social science and higher education training ground for politicians and public figures in Paris. In English, the acronym SPEAP stands for SciencesPo

  • Social Media in Travel, Tourism and Hospitality New Directions in Tourism Analysis Series Editor: Dimitri Ioannides, E-TOUR, Mid Sweden University, Sweden
    SOCIAL MEDIA IN TRAVEL, TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY New Directions in Tourism Analysis Series Editor: Dimitri Ioannides, E-TOUR, Mid Sweden University, Sweden Although tourism is becoming increasingly popular as both a taught subject and an area for empirical investigation, the theoretical underpinnings of many approaches have tended to be eclectic and somewhat underdeveloped. However, recent developments indicate that the field of tourism studies is beginning to develop in a more theoretically informed manner, but this has not yet been matched by current publications. The aim of this series is to fill this gap with high quality monographs or edited collections that seek to develop tourism analysis at both theoretical and substantive levels using approaches which are broadly derived from allied social science disciplines such as Sociology, Social Anthropology, Human and Social Geography, and Cultural Studies. As tourism studies covers a wide range of activities and sub fields, certain areas such as Hospitality Management and Business, which are already well provided for, would be excluded. The series will therefore fill a gap in the current overall pattern of publication. Suggested themes to be covered by the series, either singly or in combination, include – consumption; cultural change; development; gender; globalisation; political economy; social theory; sustainability. Also in the series Tourists, Signs and the City The Semiotics of Culture in an Urban Landscape Michelle M. Metro-Roland ISBN 978-0-7546-7809-0 Stories of Practice: Tourism

The basic approach is determined by the method of A. A. Davydov, a prominent Russian art critic. The work is based on the principles of objective analysis, historicism, interconnectedness, and continuity of development. The theoretical background and the development of the scientific method of art critic are considered. The authors review a special attitude of the scientist to the problem of the scientific nature of art history disciplines, a demanding attitude to art history categories, and an appeal to interdisciplinarity. The authors argue that the normative and recommendatory nature of the scientist’s research method played a decisive role in the formation of modern ideas in the methodology of stylistic analysis of art monuments. Since the article presents a methodological interpretation of the art history method, the novelty of the study is primarily associated with the identification of new perspectives of analysis and possible methodological approaches in the pedagogy of art.

    Contemporary Art Methodology of Meta-Modernism Dr.Abeer Nasser Alghanim Ph.D. in Philosophy of art Education-PAAET Email: [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The 21st century era brought neoteric concepts and various approaches to education and finding new ways of handling novel ideas, loaded with a numerous information, that affected and changed many oncoming ways of thinking philosophy, aesthetics and culture, consequently made it a challenge to determine the age stage of art at the present time, Academics has always sought to find the right term for the post-postmodernism. or "meta-modernism" In all art fields, when technology, ideology, social, education, and thinking approaches changed dramatically beyond the age that has given significance to ideas to overcome the main theme and the focus of the art work itself, and the aesthetic values is interpreted within the context, and technology with its elements precedes the possibilities for art to a new phase with a highly interactive expressive tool. Meta-modernism is a term that has gained traction in recent years as a means of articulating developments in contemporary culture, that has seen a move beyond the postmodern mode of the late 20th century. In the wake of the myriad crises of the past two decades due to climate change, financial meltdown, and the escalation of global conflicts using tremendous technologies the world witnessed the emergence of a perceptible collective desire for change, towards something beyond the prematurely proclaimed “End of History.” This study is considered a part of the scientific attempts to identify and comprehend the philosophy of Meta-modernism and its most contemporary prominent features, elements and art methods, in the light of technological evolution, education ideologies too social and artistic interactions, from which the artist derives concepts, contents and functional objectives of the work of art in the modern era seeking visual communication and expressive methods with the rest of the world.
