Sinossi

Symbolic Art explores the world of indigenous art, revealing how visual expressions serve as vital records of history, shapers of cultural identity, and embodiments of belief systems. The book emphasizes the role of indigenous art as a powerful form of communication, preserving cultural memory and expressing spiritual understanding often marginalized in mainstream historical narratives.

 
Did you know that indigenous art can be the primary, and sometimes only, record of a community's history? Or that seemingly simple motifs can encode complex historical narratives? This work uniquely advocates for decolonizing art historical methodologies, emphasizing collaborative approaches that center indigenous voices.

 
The book examines the interconnectedness between artistic expression and cultural context, using iconographic analysis, ethnographic research, and oral history. Through case studies from around the world, the book uncovers recurring symbols and techniques used to reaffirm communal bonds and transmit ancestral knowledge.

 
Structured in three parts, the book begins with core concepts, explores specific art forms like Australian Aboriginal dot painting, and synthesizes findings to discuss art's role in contemporary indigenous activism. The book draws from archaeology, museum collections, and interviews, offering a holistic understanding of indigenous art's complex dimensions.

The Simple Guide to Spanish...

Elisa Shaw

This course helps you refine your Spanish pronunciation and develop an authentic accent. Unlike basic language programs that focus on vocabulary and grammar, this one dives deep into phonetics and the cultural nuances that shape Spanish speech. 
You’ll start with Spanish phonetics, mastering vowel consistency, consonant articulation, and stress patterns. You'll learn the precise tongue placement, resonance, and breath control needed for accurate pronunciation. Key skills include producing pure vowels (without English diphthongs), articulating challenging sounds like the rolled "r" and soft "d," mastering Spanish stress and rhythm, and using natural intonation for statements, questions, and emotions. 
Through structured practice, including minimal pair exercises, you'll sharpen your ability to distinguish similar sounds and correct common pronunciation mistakes. You’ll also explore how culture influences accents, helping you connect more deeply with Spanish-speaking communities. 
A media study component teaches you how to improve pronunciation by learning from films, TV, music, and podcasts. The course wraps up with an in-depth look at major dialects, including Castilian, Caribbean, Mexican, Andean, and Rioplatense Spanish. 
Perfect for intermediate to advanced learners, accent reduction students, cultural immersion travelers, and professionals.

Show Me The Place - Essays

Hedley Twidle

Apocalyptic futures surround us. In films, books and in news feeds, we are subjected to a barrage of end-time possibilities. Award-winning writer Hedley Twidle, in quixotic mood, sets out to snatch utopia from the jaws of dystopia.

Whether embarking on a bizarre quest to find Cecil Rhodes's missing nose (sliced off the bust of the Rhodes Memorial) or cycling the Scottish islands with a couple of squabbling anarchists; whether learning to surf (much too late) in the wild, freezing waters off the Cape Peninsula or navigating the fraught polities of a Buddhist retreat centre, the author explores forgotten utopias, intentional communities and islands of imagination with curiosity, hope and humour.

Ranging from the science fiction of Ursula Le Guin to the 'living laboratory' of Auroville in south India, Show Me the Place investigates the deep human desire to imagine alternatives to what we take as normal or inevitable.
