The recent uprisings in Libya; Tunisia and Egypt were apparently spread via social media. Soon-to-become lsquo;iconicrsquo;; images of the events were captured on camera phones and uploaded onto Facebook live; as they happened. But looking beyond the lsquo;Twitter revolutionsrsquo;; what role does social; or lsquo;newrsquo; media; play in visual culture in the Middle East and North Africa? Featuring cutting-edge critical analyses and original; full-colour artistsrsquo; inserts; this is the first book to ask: what considerations do we now need to take into account when we examine the prominent role that lsquo;new mediarsquo; has come to play in artistic practices - as well as social movements - in the Arab world today? In this timely; groundbreaking work; internationally renowned and emerging academics; writers; artists; museum directors; curators; activists and film-makers critically explore how visual culture in the region has appropriated and developed new media. They also examine the opportunities presented in the real-time generation of new; relatively unregulated content. Uncommon Grounds challenges the assumptions we have and the buzzwords we use; when thinking about the role of new media in the Middle East and North Africa. In the process; it reveals the ways in which this media is now connected with art; as well as activism.

I ordered this and piano Vol 1; based on initial use for 3 days; will order other books in series. The first lesson emphasizes rhythm and listening for parents and students; based on the idea that we learn first by hearing and copying (language; for example) and that the learning will not fail or have time pressures. It is a very liberating perspective for me. Very well thought-out; each small step building easily to the next; so that the students enjoy successes all along the way. The successful actions spur on excitement and satisfaction and greater accomplishments through loving; harmonious lessons for all.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Very thorough.By IowaMusicMasterParents who want their children to learn Suzuki Piano; come to class with expectations of what "Suzuki Piano" is. This book helps the parent and teacher get on the same page as far as those expectations go. Its more than a teachers hand book it is a resource for the parent as well. Technique must be taught; not just caught so be sure to use this with a quality teacher. Highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
