The Land Is Sung - Zulu Performances and the Politics of Place

Beschreibung

What does it mean to belong? In The Land is Sung, musicologist Thomas M. Pooley shows how performances of song, dance, and praise poetry connect Zulu communities to their ancestral homes and genealogies. For those without land tenure in the province of KwaZulu-Nata, performances articulate a sense of place. Migrants express their allegiances through performance and spiritual relationships to land are embodied in rituals that invoke ancestral connection while advancing well-being through intergenerational communication. Engaging with justice and environmental ethics, education and indigenous knowledge systems, musical and linguistic analysis, and the ethics of recording practice, Pooley's analysis draws on genres of music and dance recorded in the midlands and borderlands of South Africa, and in Johannesburg's inner city. His detailed sound writing captures the visceral experiences of performances in everyday life. The book is richly illustrated and there is a companion website featuring both video and audio examples.

    Let's be real: Caring for a baby can be exhaustingly tedious. Enter Vered Benhorin, musician, therapist, and mother of three. In What Do I Do with My Baby All Day?, Benhorin builds on the foundations of attachment theory and blends practical tools with research to teach parents how to develop a more gratifying relationship with their baby. With her guidance, parents will step into the present with their baby and truly enjoy one another using her easy, guided activities. From a baby buddha massage to babble boost (singing nonsense words), small "bubble moments" throughout the day provide a shared experience between parent and child that benefits both. These moments also have practical applications, like soothing the baby when they're fussy, making bedtime more effective, strengthening routines, and increasing communication and language. This book is a must-have for new parents everywhere.

    A look at the many Black and Queer contributions to Design and Art 
      
    Growing up in Seale, Alabama as a Black Queer kid, then attending the Rhode Island School of Design as an undergraduate, Jon Key hungered to see himself in the fields of Art and Design. But in lectures, critiques, and in the books he read, he struggled to see and learn about people who intersected with his identity or who GOT him. So he started asking himself questions: 
      
    What did it mean to be a graphic designer with his point of view? What did it mean to be a Black graphic designer? A Queer graphic designer? Someone from the South? Could his identity be communicated through a poster or a book? How could identity be archived in a design canon that has consistently erased contributions by designers who were not white, straight, and male? 
      
    In Black, Queer & Untold, acclaimed designer and artist Jon Key answers these questions and manifests the book he and so many others wish they had when they were coming up. He pays tribute to the incredible designers, artists, and people who came before and provides them an enduring, reverential stage—and in so doing, gifts us a book that takes its place among the creative arts canon.

    A practical and inspirational guide to help embroiderers and textile artists make the most of sketchbooks to inform their creative work.
    The artist's sketchbook offers an exciting platform to explore a host of mixed media techniques.

Sketchbook Explorations is the ideal companion for everyone from the beginner to the more experienced artist looking for exciting techniques to expand their repertoire in mixed media.
    The book explores:
    
    - Why work in sketchbooks? The importance and joy of working in a sketchbook.
