Addressing a wide range of improvised art and music forms—from jazz and cinema to dance and literature—this volume's contributors locate improvisation as a key site of mediation between the social and the aesthetic. As a catalyst for social experiment and political practice, improvisation aids in the creation, contestation, and codification of social realities and identities. Among other to…
I am writing these lines in 2021, exactly forty years after the first coupling of the words ‘critical’ and ‘regionalism’ appeared on a printed page to discuss the work of Greek architects Suzana and Dimitris Antonakakis in Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre’s article ‘The Grid and the Pathway’ of 1981.1 Introduced by them then, the architectural theory of cr…
High-Tech Trash: Glitch, Noise, and Aesthetic Failure maps an archaeology of failure in a culture seemingly ill-equipped to deal with it. To better understand failure, Kane argues, we must abstract from our subjective, personal disappointments and see them as meaningful symbols of a broader human struggle. By connecting twenty-first century digital aesthetics to critical issues in the history o…
In hisremarkable study of the Upper Palaeolithic parietal art of Western Europe, The Mind in the Cave, David Lewis-Williams suggests that some imagery present in caves such as Chauvet and Lascaux was inspired by ex-periences of altered states of consciousness.1 Emergence from such altered states can be accompanied by the appearance of afterimages, mental pic-tures that hang suspended in the fie…

I begin with the proviso that, when discussing “evolution” in this book,I am, unless otherwise stated, referring toDarwin’s theory of evolution bynatural selection. This will be defined more formally in §1.5.1. As will bediscussed in §1.8, other theories of evolution have been developed, but thesewill not figure extensively here. At first thought, evolution might seem tobear little rela…
Stories are what the world is about. Somehow everyone can relate to stories. They are engaging, they are filled with references and bits of information and little gaps and secrets that inspire interpretation, imagination, feedback and follow -ups. And we don’t just tell, we ‘play ’ stories on a daily basis. Engaging with narratives is a familiar part of our everyday lives. …
Renaissance Fun is about the technology of Renaissance entertainments in stage machinery and theatrical special effects; in gardens and fountains; and in the automata and self-playing musical instruments that were installed in garden grottoes. How did the machines behind these shows work? How exactly were chariots filled with singers let down onto the stage? How were flaming dragons made to fly…
An investigation of music videos as a form, a practice, and a literacy.Music videos were once something broadcast by MTV and received on our TV screens. Today, music videos are searched for, downloaded, and viewed on our computer screens—or produced in our living rooms and uploaded to social media. In We Used to Wait, Rebecca Kinskey examines this shift. She investigates music video as a form…

Europe has a long history of urbanisation, with the first cities dating back some 8,000 years. While the formal means of decision-making (if any) used to shape the form of these settlements are lost in the mists of time, it is highly likely that from the earliest times some form of control was enacted on where and how people could build. Inadvertent controls would certainly have di…
Bodyweight training may look easy, but if you are not used to it, it's very far from that. It is just as intense as running and it is just as challenging so if you struggle with it at the very beginning, it's perfectly ok - you will get better at it once you start doing it regularly. Do it at your own pace and take longer breaks if you need to. You can start with a single individual workout fro…
any people associate Building with Nature with its flagship project, the Sand Motor. This mega-nourishment redefined the role of natural processes in civil engineering projects, demonstrating that instead of ‘do no harm’ as the highest possible supporting goal of coastal infrastructure, the design could incorporate natural processes to attain societal and ecological goals. As such, the Sand…
Most of the paths described in this guide are old village paths. Before the roads came, you would travel between the villages using these paths, e.g. to trade, to visit family, to a Thing (local assembly) (page 58) or to church. Village paths were also used when the coffins of the dead were carried to the nearest church. The paths are marked with ancient cairns, a heap of stones set up as a la…
Look at the picture for a while, if you will, even if you cannot read theJavanese writing on it. It is a picture on a calendar for the months of Novemberand December 1978.

It is a truism that in a democracy, every citizen should have the oppor-tunity to take part in decision making about what we do, how we oper-ate, how we structure the world in which we live. As theories, practices, and the organizational forms and processes of democracy developed over the past several hundred years, that was how we structured the social world within which w…

Ethnomusicology today is an area of study caught up in a fascination with itself. Although its roots can be traced back some eighty years, and its origin perhaps even earlier, it is only within the past ten or fifteen years that, under the impetus of younger scholars who had brought to it new concepts of theory, method, and application, it has taken a sudden forward surge. The result has been a…

A little low white cottage, approached by a gravel-path which winds up from gray, moss-grown steps at l., flanked by lilac-bushes. A sunken step leads across the tiny pillared porch, twined deep with honeysuckle which, together with the tall, recently-acquired French windows, stands open into the living-room, dark now except for its moonlit shadows.

At their first public demonstration in Paris in 1839, photographs seemed nothing short of miraculous in their ability to record a mirror image of actuality. From the moment its inventors promoted the camera's usefulness for documenting Egyptian hieroglyphs, photography has played a decisive role in the interpretation of antiquity. Early photographers focused their lenses on marble-pillared temp…

Certainly it comes as news to no one that television has been a mainstay of modern home life since its arrival in the living rooms of American families in the 1950s. The media theorist Lynn Spigel, one of the foremost authori-ties on mass culture at midcentury, points out that while only 9 percent of American homes had a television set in 1950, postwar consumers purchas…

It could be argued that the new millennium is one of global crises in terms of health and well-being. How and in what way can notions of lifelong learning, in this case that of martial arts, contribute to health and well-being and how do they impact, if at all, on everyday lifestyle and practice from the perspective of those who practice them? These are important questions, given the concerns o…
is chapter distinguishes the differences between co-living and co-housing and focuses on co-living environments, which are based on the temporary sharing of spaces, services, and above all, experi-ences with building a community. Unlike co-housing, co-living spaces are constantly redefined by the relationships of their inhabitants. The co-existence …
“What is the Avatar” is part genre study, part theoretical discussion of fictionality and embodiment in gaming. Its topic is what I call “avatar-based” singleplayer games, with particular emphasis on the kind of navigable real-time 3D graphical environments that were spearheaded by Doom, Mario 64 and To mb R a i d e r in the mid-nineties. The avatar is that which extends our embodie…
Formerly seen as a menial architectural task, adaptive reuse has come into its own. It is no longer a secret, and certainly no longer a novel idea, that the archi-tecture of adaptive reuse is, in terms of architectural creativity, beauty and impor-tance, in no way inferior to designing and building a brand-new building (Hauke and Werner 2011).Architecture incorporating existing …

Being the end result, performance is one of the most used variables in sport psychology research. Several examples include the relationship between performance and anxiety(e.g., Craft et al., 2003), motivation (e.g., Gershgoren et al., 2011), self-efficacy (e.g., Moritz et al., 2000), and emotions (e.g., Lazarus, 2000). In team sports, the relationship between team performance and cohesion as w…
Streets and routes, corridors and staircases are not only systems of access but also keys to the communal lives of occupants. Because they provide information concerning the distribution of spaces and the patterns of movement that connect them, access systems and the gestalts of access spaces condition and express social structures. The structure and development of urban districts and entire ci…
The Chinese have been using martial arts for thousands of years, both among themselves and against others, but organized Kung Fu needed a parent system from which to evolve.

In normal ageing, bodies and brains slow down, though intelligence remains stable.

Memory changes occur as well, and elderly and older have greater difficulty remembering names and places, and complex notions. Compared to normal ag…
