In the last two decades or so, community development efforts in Singapore have strongly focused on task-centred community activities namely short-term projects revolving around socio-educational and recreational activities. Such an emphasis is further reinforced by the outsourcing of community services to the private sector which is contracted to deliver services or activities. Although the consequences are not seen immediately, they will in the longer term reinforce learned helplessness of the participants or beneficiaries who are usually relegated to passive or dependent roles.
Through the insights of contributors who are practitioners in the community development field, this book argues that more resources and initiatives must be accorded to community organisations so as to redirect to a community- or resident-centric approach towards community work intervention. In short, more reaching out to people or community groups should be undertaken.
Covering a broad range of arenas including health, housing, ageing, community integration and bonding, among others, this book will open up a wider horizon for community development efforts and provide a reservoir of ideas and strategies to build a stronger and resilient community for more effective community problem-solving.
This special issue considers historical actors who have publicly tested what has been codified as illegal or cast as illicit, reflecting on how a critical and radical engagement with historical interpretation, art, and activism can confront, remake, or move beyond institutional authority. Collectively, the essays examine a range of sites where challenges to the law and prevailing social customs have taken place, whether on urban streets, in archives, or in museums and courtrooms. To explore the obstacles facing those who engage in civic activism, the essays treat such topics as homeless GLBT youth in San Francisco who protested city-mandated sidewalk clearings; Women Against Pornography, a group that strove to make Times Square safer for women without relying on state censorship; and an art installation that protested deportation raids of unauthorized immigrants undertaken in San Francisco despite a city ordinance designed to protect residents regardless of their citizenship status. One essay offers an ethnographic reading of the police archives of Guatemala to demonstrate how physical access to knowledge is crucial to rewriting state histories of criminal subversion. A forum on police museums in Argentina, Cuba, and Mexico examines how the presentation of these official histories shapes the public’s encounters with some of the most problematic manifestations of state power. An illustrated essay on illegal graffiti murals left undisturbed in a gentrifying Los Angeles neighborhood demonstrates how illicit place-claiming can be recast as edgy cultural capital by the same forces that it originally resisted.

Описание: Reinaldo Arenas is one of the leading Cuban writers of the twentieth century. He was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1943. From 1974 to1976 he was incarcerated in the El Morro prison in Havana. He left Cuba in 1980 via the Mariel Boatlift along with125,000 other Cubans who were opposed to the ruling regime in Cuba. He settled in New York where he obtained the Cintas and Guggenheim fellowships, as well as the award for best foreign novelist published in France in 1989. On Friday, December 7, 1990, he ended his life. In a letter sent to the Horacio Aguirre, director of the Spanish newspaper Diario LasAmericas in Miami, he explained his reasons. The main reason was that due to his illness, he was unable to continue fighting for the freedom of Cuba. Among his major works are the novels: Celestino antes del alba, El mundo alucinante, El color del verano (for many this is his most important work), El Asalto, Adi s a Mam , and a few more. In this book, five plays are united under one unifying theme: persecution. Cruel, experimental, casual, ironic and poetic, this book besides being, first and foremost, a work of art, is also an insight into the eternal duality that seems to characterize a human being: his status, both sublime and terrible that makes him the victim or the victimizer. As with many of his other books, this work is satirical (and therefore critical) of the current Cuban regime.

Описание: Teatru Manoel is a historical monument of global importance and a living temple of the performing arts. Built in 1731 by order of Grand Master Antonio Manoel de Vilhena, whose name it still bears, it remains today one of the finest examples of theater architecture in Europe. Named as one of the 15 most beautiful theaters by CNN in May 2014, the Manoel is also one of the oldest 'working' theaters in the world and is Malta's national theater. As incumbent custodians of this priceless gem, it is our responsibility not only to preserve and enhance it but also to sustain its relevance for the present and above all, the future. This book aims to present the many other facets that make up the institution that is the Manoel. First and foremost there is the theater's role in the cultural environment of Malta as well as Europe. Secondly, there is the rich and chequered history of this 283-year-old building which has survived plagues, invasions, blockades, stiff competition, wars and economic downturns with a detailed account of the changes it has undergone both to its architecture and internal decor. Thirdly, and of no less importance, are the thousands of artistic productions that have involved great, renowned and not-so-renowned artists from every performing arts genre that have, over the centuries, graced its stage. Furthermore, this book, which covers the history, the architectural changes, the performers and performances over so many decades to date, ensures that this theater's unparalleled contribution to Malta's cultural scene is acknowledged, appreciated and documented.

Автор: Jonathan Stern Название: Music for the American People: The Lewisohn Stadium Concerts ISBN: 1576473236 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781576473238 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 34190.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: For many New Yorkers of a certain age, mention of Lewisohn Stadium conjures many fond memories of concerts of beautiful music performed in most cases by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra on warm summer evenings outdoors. Music for the American People: The Lewisohn Stadium Concerts brings back those memories while introducing them to those who are either too young to remember or were born years after the Stadium’s razing in 1973. Although several books discuss either the early years of the Stadium Concerts or the life of Stadium Concerts Chairperson Minnie Guggenheimer, this is the first book ever to discuss the concerts themselves. In particular, the book focuses on the conductors, soloists, and repertoire in a way never undertaken before by any scholar. While the book explores the Stadium Concerts classical orchestra canon to a large extent, author Jonathan Stern emphasizes in particular the effect the festival had on American music. The book discusses how the Stadium Concerts began in an era in which American classical music was championed like it rarely has been. It also makes the case that the Stadium Concerts may have done more for contemporary American music than any other musical institution of the early twentieth century through its frequent advocacy of the music of George Gershwin. This advocacy was soon taken up by other summer orchestra festivals that were founded after the birth of the Stadium Concerts. Among these festivals were the Hollywood Bowl Concerts, Tanglewood, Ravinia, and the Robin Hood Dell concerts, all of which are also discussed towards the end of the book. Readers will also learn how the Stadium Concerts coped with the challenges faced by America in general, not only surviving wars and the Great Depression but even thriving artistically and otherwise during these troubling times. Lewisohn Stadium was a summer home away from home for millions of New Yorkers, enabling them to put aside their differences and join together in enjoying great music performed by many of the world’s leading performers. In an era when people from all walks of life sought to better themselves in ways not often seen today, New Yorkers often said to each other, “Meet me at the Stadium.” As such, Music for the American People: The Lewisohn Stadium Concerts fills a much-needed void in music and New York City scholarship while recounting a particularly happy chapter in the history of New York City culture.
