The conditions of alienation and exclusion are inextricably linked to the experience of the migrant. This ground-breaking volume explores both the increasing emergence of the theme of migration as a dominant subject matter in art as well as the ways in which the varied mobilities of a globalized world have radically reshaped arts conditions of production; reception; and display.In a wide-ranging selection of essays; fourteen distinguished scholars in the fields of visual studies; art history; literary studies; global studies; and art criticism explore the universality of conditions of global migration and interdependence; inviting a rethinking of existing perspectives in postcolonial; transnational; and diaspora studies; and laying the foundation for empirical and theoretical directions beyond the terms of these traditional frameworks.

Best book on directing other than her other one!By Dick OliverThis book is an extraordinary. essential tutorial and rumination on the philosophy and practice of directing film actors. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it essentially repeats the same thing her previous book (Directing Actors) said. albeit in new ways and with new depth. Read "Directing Actors" first. then I wont have to convince you to buy this one. You will know that every word from Judith Weston is solid gold. and not to be missed. Highly recommended. even if you have already read Directing Actors. as she really does go further and deeper here and presents a number of new insights and techniques that you wont want to miss.As the subtitle suggests. her focus here is largely on script analysis and rehearsal. Of course that was a lot of her focus in the previous book. too. and she does cover many of the essentials of directing and acting here as well. I do think the book could have been half as long and been better--she tends to take ten words to say what could have been said in four. But what words! If you direct or act in film or television. there is no excuse for not owning this book. Nobody in print can "get you there" better than Judith Weston. and you are sure to gain usable ideas and genuine insights again and again as you read this. I have taught film and video acting for years. and only wish Id had this book and her other one when I started! If you want fake. affected performances and constant conflict with your actors. no reading necessary. If youre looking for solid ways to work with actors to give life-changing performances. read this. Now.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
