Free Download The Green Room #1: Reconsidering the Documentary and Contemporary Art By Maria Lind; Hito Steyerl
2008 | 239 Pages | ISBN: 1933128534 | PDF | 44 MB
Documentary practices make up one of the most significant and complex tendencies within art during the last two decades. Traditional documentary photography and film have been reinvented and reinvigorated by merging with traditions such as video, performance, and conceptual art. Such recent documentary works attest to a new diversity and complexity of forms, ranging from conceptual mockumentaries to reflexive photo essays, from split-screen slide shows to found-footage video reportage, from installations without any lens-based medium to printed matter. Many of them are about searching for suitable forms and methods for discussing social content, whether historical material or effects of recent political and economic upheaval.This anthology seeks to overcome the existing dispersion of texts on documentary practices and offer new perspectives on this crucial theme. Authors include T. J. Demos, Okwui Enwezor, Carles Guerra, Vít Havránek, Jörg Heiser, Stefan Jonsson, Maurizio Lazzarato, Olivier Lugon, Jean-Pierre Rehm, Hito Steyerl, and Jan Verwoert. They discuss issues such as what the function of documentary art forms is in the context of globalizing media and an expanding art world. What is the relationship between fact and fiction, media and mediation in these documentary practices? What role do the archive and activism play? How do the operations of documentary forms change in the age of digital reproduction? Being part of the research project "The Greenroom: Reconsidering the Documentary and Contemporary Art" at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, this publication functions similar to a greenroom at a television station, where staff and guests meet before and after filming and engage in discussions which often differ from those conducted in the limelight.

Author and Narrator: Norman Mathews
Norman Mathews was born in the wrong town, the wrong era, and with the wrong name. What’s a boy to do? He conjured up a more enticing, imaginary world to better navigate the perils of childhood. Dreams of a life in the theater and of passionate romance were stymied by lack of self-assurance. Psychological abuse by a priest led to absurdly comic psychotherapy over his sexuality.

Uncertain citizenship Life in the waiting room


Free Download Anne-Marie Fortier, "Uncertain citizenship: Life in the waiting room "
English | ISBN: 1526139081 | 2021 | 272 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Uncertainty is central to the governance of citizenship, but in ways that erase, even deny, this uncertainty. This book investigates uncertain citizenship from the unique vantage point of ‘citizenisation’: twenty-first-century integration and naturalisation measures that make and unmake citizens and migrants, while indefinitely holding many applicants for citizenship in what Fortier calls the ‘waiting room of citizenship’. Fortier’s distinctive theory of citizenisation foregrounds how the full achievement of citizenship is a promise that is always deferred: if migrants and citizens are continuously citizenised, so too are they migratised. Citizenisation and migratisation are intimately linked within the structures of racial governmentality that enables the citizenship of racially minoritised citizens to be questioned and that casts them as perpetual migrants.

Physician Leader How Exam Room Experience Drives Leadership Excellence


Free Download Physician Leader: How Exam Room Experience Drives Leadership Excellence
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032690321 | 293 Pages | PDF (True) | 14 MB
Physicians are often asked to lead healthcare teams, departments, divisions, practices, and hospitals. Though many of them are experts in their fields, they are rarely prepared or educated in business management and leadership. Based on the authors’ interviews with many physician and non-physician executives and leaders, medical training contributes little to leadership skills. Many physicians leave medical training with a command-and-control leadership style that later has to be unlearned to succeed in a team-based healthcare environment.

Psychotherapy is the art of finding the angel of hope in the midst of terror, despair and madness CLOE MADANES Problems happen to all of us at some time or another. It can happen to people who are strong, capable, successful and normal. Emotional difficulties can cause pain that affect rational thoughts and decision-making, leading to conflicts in relationships and in the capacity to work and enjoy life. But while pain might be inevitable, suffering need not be. This book is about hope, the hope that we can live without the sadness of depression, the fear of anxiety, the pain of fractured relationships. Psychotherapy can heal these and other challenging situations that can wreck a person s life. But how does one find a psychotherapist? What does a therapist do? And, very importantly, what type of psychotherapy should one choose that best suits one s needs? THE HEALING ROOM is a collection of essays put together by noted psychotherapist and systemic family therapist Reena Nath that sets out to act as a bridge between the person seeking help and professionals from various branches of psychotherapy. Nine eminent practitioners share their experiences and insights into their fields of expertise. Psychoanalysis Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Systemic Family Therapy Jungian Psychology Couple Therapy Mindfulness- Based Therapy Person-Centred Therapy Psychotherapy for Children Therapy for Adolescents Remember, the choice lies with us. The therapist does not direct those who seek help; they facilitate dialogue so each one of us can find our own answers. A must read for anyone interested in understanding how the human mind works.
