Beschreibung

Mesa Threads Spin explores the evolution of Navajo weaving, an art form deeply intertwined with cultural preservation, economic necessity, and artistic innovation. The book examines how this centuries-old tradition adapted to the demands of the tourist trade, highlighting the ingenuity of Navajo weavers. Readers will discover how the introduction of sheep and wool by the Spanish irrevocably shaped Navajo weaving traditions, and how weaving served as a cornerstone of Navajo society, linking spirituality, social structure, and economic survival.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical context of Navajo weaving before analyzing specific designs tailored for tourist consumption. It delves into the roles of trading posts and government policies in shaping the market. Ultimately, this study illustrates how Navajo weaving, often seen as commercialized, truly represents a resourceful adaptation that preserves cultural identity while navigating economic challenges.

 
The final sections cover contemporary issues like copyright and fair trade, offering a balanced perspective on cultural commodification.

An Actor's Alphabet - An A to Z...

Julie Hesmondhalgh

In this candid and empowering A to Z of being an actor, Julie Hesmondhalgh draws on her decades of experience on stage and screen – including in massively popular television shows such as Broadchurch, Happy Valley and Coronation Street – to lift the lid on the realities of life in today's industry, and show you how to navigate it.
She shares practical advice on preparing for roles (don't be afraid of looking like a dick), managing the ups and downs of your career (and how to be out of work without losing your mind), dealing with failure (and success), not constantly comparing yourself to others (bloody hard, but try), looking after your mental health, and the power of knowing when to say 'no'.
Passionate about the arts, she makes a compelling case for their importance to society, but also calls out the industry on where it continues to fall short – including a clear-eyed assessment of what needs to change to make it safer and healthier, more accessible and inclusive.
Written with refreshing honesty and self-deprecating humour, An Actor's Alphabet is a book for anyone who dreams of becoming an actor, wants to be a better one, or just wants to learn what being one is really like.

Art History Cubism

Guillaume Apollinaire, Dorothea...

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon: five young women that changed modern art forever. Faces seen simultaneously from the front and in profile, angular bodies whose once voluptuous feminine forms disappear behind asymmetric lines - with this work, Picasso revolutionised the entire history of painting. Cubism was thus born in 1907. Transforming natural forms into cylinders and cubes, painters like Juan Gris and Robert Delaunay, led by Braque and Picasso, imposed a new vision upon the world that was in total opposition to the principles of the Impressionists. Largely diffused in Europe, Cubism developed rapidly in successive phases that brought art history to all the richness of the 20th-century: from the futurism of Boccioni to the abstraction of Kandinsky, from the Suprematism of Malevich to the Constructivism of Tatlin. Linking the core text of Guillaume Apollinaire with the studies of Dr Dorothea Eimert, this work offers a new interpretation of modernity's crucial moment and permits the reader to rediscover, through their biographies, the principal representatives of the movement.
