Название: Naoya Hatakeyama: Excavating the Future City ISBN: 1597114324 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781597114325 Издательство: INGRAM PUBLISHER SERVICES UK Рейтинг: Цена: 70400.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: For the past thirty years, Japanese photographer Naoya Hatakeyama has undertaken a photographic examination of the life of cities and the built environment. Each of his series focuses on a different facet of the growth and transformation of the urban landscape--from studies of architectural maquettes to the extraction and use of natural materials such as limestone, as it is quarried via explosive blasts and subsequently incorporated into the construction of new buildings. In particular, Hatakeyama has routinely returned to the Tokyo-Yokohama metropolis, exploring this ever-evolving urban sprawl from both below and above, mapping the growth and expansion of these sites over time. Additional series focus on other forms of human intervention with the landscape and natural materials, including factories and building sites in Japan and abroad. Finally, his most recent photographs of his hometown of Rikuzentakata, a fishing town that was almost completely destroyed by the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami, are also included--an ongoing series begun almost immediately following the disaster. These photographs hauntingly embody the death and rebirth of the city, manifesting a deeply personal connection to the ongoing intersection of geology, architecture, and time.

I first discovered the term Elusive Nature of Peace from an article by Israeli educator Daniel Bar- Tal. Why was Bar-Tal so tentative about peace education? His reasoning was a result of his years of developing peace education programs. He said: "Peace education is very different from most subjects given in schools. Because groups and individuals project onto the concept of peace education their particular vision of a desirable society, the means to achieve it and the school's role in this mission. The consequence of this personal projection is the very multifaceted state of peace education we see at present. Thus, in comparison with other domains of knowledge, peace education is, by nature, elusive." (Daniel Bar-Tal).
I agree with Bar-Tal's conclusion based on my work as a peace education program developer and researcher. My work in northern Uganda has confirmed this elusive nature of peace. There were so many challenges impeding the implementation and acquisition of the concepts of peace in Uganda. These challenges and barriers to peace and understanding its nature, as you will find out within the pages of this book, are unfortunately becoming universal. This book explores the experiences and perceptions of Ugandan peace educators as they endeavoured to engage in the development and implementation of a locally developed curriculum.
Geo-political and economic changes that are now affecting even countries that were once peaceful and democratic is making it extremely challenging to achieve general peace even within these nations. The late Kofi Annan, the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations and a co- recipient of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize, empathized with these changes that are making peace unattainable today. He wrote: "In some ways, the challenges are even more daunting than they were at the peak of the Cold War. Not only do we continue to face grave nuclear threats, but those threats are compounded by new weapons developments, new violence within states and new challenges to the rule of law."
So, what do we do? Do we give up on educating students about peace? I don't think so. I still believe with Edward Everett, who said: "Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army." I am confident that peace education is also the best safeguard of not only liberty but freedom, democracy and development of peaceable societies around the world.
The Elusive Celt departs from previous work in the wider ethnomusicological field about traditional Irish music within its home contexts and the English-speaking main destination countries of Irish emigration, by adding a central and eastern European perspective on perceptions of Irish musical culture and images of «the Celtic» Specific attention is given to influences of recent European history on these perceptions. Detailed ethnographies of community music-making contexts in six different countries from the Baltic to the Bosphorus, along both sides of the former Iron Curtain, introduce the reader to cultural intimacies of local community musicians with a long-term dedication to playing traditional Irish music. The emerging images differ widely from common stereotypes. The reader gains an insight into processes of how musical and extra-musical detail is communicated between local native Irish and non-Irish musicians at these locations, for which Rina was able to draw on her knowledge of different European languages.
