“Ralf St Clair’s thoughtful Learning-Centred Leadership in Higher Education has created something new in the long conversation about leadership. The great potential of today¹s institutions is that agency is widely distributed across the academic and professional staff. The key to leadership is not star power but the institution learning to think together.” —Simon Marginson, Professor of Higher Education at the University of Oxford, UK and Editor in Chief of Higher Education "In this highly accessible, well-written volume, St. Clair positions learning at the core of university leadership, and thoughtfully explores the implications of adopting a learning-centred approach to academic leadership through a discussion of key themes and illustrative case studies. The book will force you to rethink many of your assumptions, and to consider leadership in new, imaginative ways." —Glen Jones, Dean of Education, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada This book explores the implications of centring learning in university leadership. While a range of external and internal factors push contemporary higher education leaders towards a reactive and transactional style, the author argues that placing learning at the centre of the decision-making process orients this leadership in values. Illustrated by numerous case studies and informed by Peter Senge’s theory of learning, the author examines this central thesis across a variety of areas and functions of higher education that are vital to the development and success of this shared endeavour. This book will be of interest and value to both new and established university leaders, as well as scholars of leadership in higher education more generally. Ralf St Clair is Professor and Dean of Education at the University of Victoria, Canada. He has been an active researcher for several decades, and held leadership positions in universities in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. He was on the board of the British Educational Research Association for several years, and was editor of Research Intelligence from 2006 to 2010.

"From massive raves sprouting around the London orbital at the turn of the 1990s to events operated under the control of corporate empires, EDM (Electronic Dance Music) festivals have developed into cross-genre, multi-city, transnational mega-events. From free party teknivals proliferating across Europe since the mid-1990s to colossal corporate attractions like Tomorrowland Electric Daisy Carnival and Stereosonic, and from transformational and participatory events like Burning Man and events in the UK outdoor psytrance circuit, to such digital arts and new media showcases as Barcelona's Sónar Festival and Montreal's MUTEK, dance festivals are platforms for a variety of arts, lifestyles, industries and policies. Growing ubiquitous in contemporary social life, and providing participants with independent sources of belonging, these festivals and their event-cultures are diverse in organization, intent and outcome. From ethically-charged and ?boutique? events with commitments to local regions to subsidiaries of entertainment conglomerates touring multiple nations, EDM festivals are expressions of ?freedoms? revolutionary and recreational. Centres of ?EDM pop?, critical vectors in tourism industries, fields of racial distinction, or experiments in harm reduction, gifting culture, and co-created art, as this volume demonstrates, diversity is evident across management styles, performance legacies and modes of participation. Weekend Societies is a timely interdisciplinary volume from the emergent field of EDM festival and event-culture studies. Echoing an industry trend in world dance music culture from raves and clubs towards festivals, Weekend Societies features contributions from scholars of EDM festivals showcasing a diversity of methodological approaches, theoretical perspectives and representational styles. Organised in four sections: Dance Empires; Underground Networks; Urban Experiments; Global Flows, Weekend Societies illustrates how a complex array of regional, economic, social, cultural and political factors combine to determine the fate of EDM festivals that transpire at the intersections of the local and global."--

Kniha českému čtenáři poprvé podrobně představuje osobnost a autorský styl Johna Donna, vedle Shakespeara nejvýznamnějšího anglického lyrika přelomu 16. a 17. století, jehož dílo bylo navíc ve 20. století pozoruhodně vlivné i mimo kontext jeho domovské anglické literatury. Mapuje příčiny Donnovy přitažlivosti pro moderní básníky a kritiky včetně těch českých a zkoumá typické způsoby jeho metaforického myšlení a schopnost jeho poezie kombinovat dramatickou bezprostřednost a citovost s důmyslnou intelektuální hrou. Podrobné srovnávací analýzy českých překladů Donnovy světské a duchovní lyriky se zamýšlejí nad základními problémy převodu Donnova stylu do češtiny, charakterizují rozdílné přístupy šesti českých překladatelů k Donnovým textům a zejména přinášejí zhodnocení překladatelské koncepce dvou nejvýznamnějších z nich, Hany Žantovské a Zdeňka Hrona.
