Abstract

In Speculative Everything Dunne and Raby continue to inspire and challenge us to consider design as a unique mode of sociocultural inquiry. Rather than resigning design to either problem solving or styling, what Dunne and Raby offer is a vibrant practice of using design to materialize and experiment with alternate worldviews and futures. Speculative Everything is an important contribution to the field of design and should be read widely. Carl DiSalvo ,author of Adversarial Design In a period where existing systems are reaching their effective limits, Speculative Everything describes an expanded and refreshing role for design. Dunne and Raby show how speculative design can stimulate debate and reveal choices that exist beyond the constraints of existing business, social, and technological approaches. Tim Brown ,CEO, IDEO Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby have set out to change the landscape of contemporary design. They remind us that design is about asking questions, as well as answering them. Speculative Everything, their provocative manifesto, is an intriguing contribution to the search for a new direction for design. Deyan Sudjic ,Director, Design Museum, London

Abstract

This book offers new definitions, vocabularies and insights for “scribbling”, viewing it as a fascinating and revealing process shared by many different disciplines and practices. The book provides a fresh and timely perspective on the nature of mark making and the persistence of the gestural impulse from the earliest graphic marks to the most sophisticated artistic production. The typical treatment of scribbling in the literature of artistic development has cast the practice as a prelude to representation in drawing and writing, with only occasional acknowledgment of the continuing joy and experiment of making marks across many arts practices. The continuous line the author traces between the universal practice of scribbling in infancy and early childhood and the work of radical creativity for contemporary and historical artists is original and clarifying, expanding the range of drawing behaviors to that of avant-garde painters, performance and the digital.

Abstract

This book brings together discussions about Australian arts policy and funding, outcomes of arts engagement in terms of social inclusion, well-being and education. It presents exemplars of creative programs or case studies that build capacity and lasting impact for communities in urban and regional Australia. This book describes the impact of the arts using narrative case studies. Through this, it develops conceptual understanding and frameworks that can be used to dynamically assess the value and impact of arts engagement across the three types of cultural value: intrinsic value, instrumental value and institutional value. It focuses on how arts engagement creates, supports and extends factors such as well-being, social inclusion and educational achievement. This book provides an innovative examination of the evidence from Australian projects depicting the impact of the arts on a range of indicators and sectors.

Abstract

"This book explores and develops critical and creative methods for coming to terms with and finding balance between identity formation and migration across root and adopted cultures." -Geraldine Burke, Researcher and Teacher-Educator at Monash University, Australia. "Dr Wang's book is emergent and of interest to therapists, researchers and those curious about how cultural identity may be affected by immigration, how using arts-based critical autoethnography may facilitate inquiry into subjective topics, and how such inquiries may themselves become healing experiences. Her book meaningfully contributes to explorations of cultural transition, hybridity and blending." -Deborah Green, Head of School, Creative Arts Therapies, Whitecliffe, New Zealand. This book is an exploration of the concept of in-betweenness, as it occurs within the process of moving between the author’s root culture and adopted culture, from her perspective as an immigrant arts therapist. Through the critical autoethnographic voice, she introduces a unique exploration site within the process of Guqin-making, an ancient Chinese art form. Through the creation of images and poetry, and through Guqin-making and music-making/playing, the book expands the discussion of in-betweenness by re-theorising ancient Chinese philosophical perspectives on harmonic space. This contribution to arts-based research provides a unique standpoint to explore research methods of moving, walking, making, resting and awakening. It showcases how other researchers can transfer the invisible and intangible embodied feelings, memories and emotions arising from moving between two or more cultures into visible and tangible images, narrative, poetry, craft and music-playing to conduct powerful, interdisciplinary arts-based research. Ying (Ingrid) Wang is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Centre for Arts and Social Transformation, University of Auckland, New Zealand. Her current research interests include arts-based research in arts therapy, education, wellbeing, community resilience and social transformation. .
