It examines do-it-yourself (DIY) networks of indie crafts as a significant cultural economy and site of women’s creative labour, moving beyond existing research, which has historically focused on craft as primarily associated with women’s domestic activity, or as a salon refusé subordinated to the fine arts, or affiliations with turn of the 20th century industrialization.

A baker is consumed by grief over the death of his wife. But everything changes when he pulls over on a rural highway to help a dying stranger entangled in a car wreck. En route to fulfill a 40-year promise to his childhood sweetheart, the stranger shares a compelling tale of adolescent love replete with first kisses, youthful innocence and ballroom dancing. The baker promises to fulfill the stranger's wish and finds himself at the doorsteps of Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School. It's here that he finds an odd path to a new beginning when he meets a beautiful woman trying to find a peace of her own-and feels passionate and alive for the first time in years.

That was true when the United States was a new nation, and it is true today. In some ways, the challenges have not even changed that much. Yes, we seem to live our lives on permanent fast forward these days, with boundless opportunities for immediate gratification and distraction. Information and resources are more accessible than ever before. What used to be “mysteries of the trade” are now floating out there on YouTube. The most specialized tools and materials can be ordered for next-day delivery. Yet it still takes long years to achieve mastery in a craft. The difficulty of getting wood, leather, clay, fabric, stone or glass to do what you want remains the same.

    NARRATING NATURE: DOCUMENTARIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Spring 2017 | ENV XXX Cross listed: LATAM XXXX | ICS XXX | DOC XXX Nicholas School of the Environment Duke University Time Location (TBD) W/F 8:30am – 9:45am (10:05-11:20 a.m. / 6:15-7:30 p.m.) Classroom TBD Instructor Miguel Rojas Sotelo [email protected] Phone: 919-681-3883 Office hours: (2 hours) Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:45-10:15am @ Franklin Center 133 COURSE INTRODUCTION: Documentary (non-fiction) research-based films, photo essays, radio documentaries, hypermedia documents, and long-form analytical narratives shed light on our world. They portray the environment, real people, events, and situations - with an aesthetic sensibility that transforms these depictions into compelling statements about all aspects of our environmental, social, cultural, political, and economic lives. In the course of a couple of generations managed to powerfully raise the temperature of an entire planet, to knock its most basic systems out of kilter. Although we know about it, we don’t know about it. It hasn’t registered in our gut; it isn’t part of our culture (yet). Art, like religion, is one of the ways we digest what is happening, to make sense out of it that proceeds to action. The aim of this course is to evaluate and illustrate how film documentary media can help communicate, critique, and educate the public about the complex environmental and social issues of our times. Students will analyze how environmental and social issues are presented through different audiovisual forums. The overarching theme of the course is to investigate how environmental/social activism and communication is enhanced (or hindered) through these modes of creative visual expression.

  • Worlds in Domestic Space
    Home is where the stuff is: Framing life- worlds in domestic space Lauren Woodlands Bachelor of Creative Industries (Visual Arts) (Hons Class 1) Bachelor of Education (Primary)/ Bachelor of Arts (Applied Ethics/Gender Studies) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Dr Mark Pennings and Dr Daniel Mafe Visual Arts Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2015 Key Words Gaston Bachelard, Michel de Certeau, Pierre Bourdieu, practice-led research, creative practice, reflexivity, identity, artist books, collections, miniatures, craft culture, Regretsy, Martha Stewart, visual arts, auto-ethnography, visual ethnography, normative, mundane, narrative, domestic space, home environments, hoarding, objects, possessions, gender, play, humour, life-worlds, Mike Kelley, Tracey Emin, Portia Munson, Song Dong, David Shrigley, Richard Billingham, Henry Darger, Annette Messager. Page 1 ABSTRACT This PhD seeks to employ visual arts as a means through which to investigate concepts relating to normative behaviour and idiosyncratic relationships with domestic space, craft and collecting. My research seeks to examine the complexities of such experiences by examining the work of selected theorists and artists, as well as through my creative practice, which posits a humorous response to what would generally be considered mundane constructions of domestic life-worlds. This doctorate is represented by a 50,000 word exegesis and eight artist books. My research paradigm draws upon theoretical frameworks provided by Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of Habitus, Michel de Certeau’s The Practice of Everyday Life, and Gaston Bachelard’s The Poetics of Space. These theorists offer various perspectives about how to understand and interpret the ‘lived experience’ of the personal domestic realm and the forms of cultural production that emanate from that environment.

    Un proyecto de LASDAOALPLAY? — www.lasdaoalplay.com Escrito por: Francesc Marí Editado en: Barcelona, mayo 2017 Con el apoyo de: Simplemente… Goofy y todo su contenido escrito está bajo una licencia de Creative Commons Reconocimiento-No Comercial-Compartir bajo la misma licencia 4.0 PRESENTACION Walt Disney y todo su mundo de animación ha sido estudiado en detalle, tanto durante la vida de su creador como tras su muerte. Se ha hablado de los Clásicos de Disney, de las película de acción real y, sobre todo, de Mickey Mouse, por lo que podríamos decir que no hay nada que haya pasado por alto… ¿Seguro? Si nos fijamos —algo que un servidor ha hecho cuando buscaba documentación para este libro—, descubriremos que si bien Mickey y Donald han sido analizados al milímetro, así como todo lo que rodea a los Studios Disney, siempre existirá un gran olvidado, y ese no es otro que Goofy. A pesar de formar parte, junto con el ratón y el pato más famosos del mundo, del triunvirato de Disney, de protagonizar decenas de cortometrajes, de ser el único en tener dos largometrajes en solitario en su haber, Goofy se ha convertido en el comparsa de sus amigos. En la mayoría de casos, cuando alguien habla de Goofy, es porque antes ha hablado de Mickey o de Disney en general, e, incluso, en el último de estos casos, muchas veces, Goofy queda agrupado bajo la denominación de «la pandilla de Mickey». En realidad son pocos los libros que hablen exclusivamente de Goofy. Para ser sinceros, solamente he encontrado uno en inglés, el extraordinario volumen, Walt Disney’s Goofy: The Good Sport de Flora O’Brian, publicado en 1986, en el que se hace un repaso exhaustivo al personaje y su proceso creativo.
