Abstract

Deconstructing the theology and practice of the Church, Hannah Lewis shows how the Church unconsciously oppresses Deaf people through its view of them as people who can't hear. Lewis reclaims Deaf perspectives on Church history, examines how an essentially visual Deaf culture can relate to the written text of the bible and asks 'can Jesus sign?' This book pulls together all these strands to consider how worship can be truly liberating, truly a place for Deaf people to celebrate who they are before God.

Abstract

The transition from silent to synchronized sound film was one of the most dramatic transformations in cinema's history, as it radically changed the technology, practices, and aesthetics of filmmaking within a few short years. In France, debates about sound cinema were fierce and widespread. In French Musical Culture and the Coming of Sound Cinema, author Hannah Lewis argues that the debates about sound film resonated deeply within French musical culture of the early 1930s, and conversely, that discourses surrounding a range of French musical styles and genres shaped audiovisual cinematic experiments during the transition to sound.Lewis' book focuses on many of the most prominent directors and screenwriters of the period, from Luis Buñuel to Jean Vigo, as well as experiments found in lesser-known films. Additionally, Lewis examines how early sound film portrayed the diverse soundscape of early 1930s France, as filmmakers drew from the music hall, popular chanson, modernist composition, opera and operetta, and explored the importance of musical machines to depict and to shape French audiovisual culture. In this light, the author discusses the contributions of well-known composers for film alongside more popular music hall styles, all of which had a voice within the heterogeneous soundtrack of French sound cinema. By delving into this fascinating developmental period of French cinematic history, Lewis encourages readers to challenge commonly-held assumptions about how genres, media, and artistic forms relate to one another, and how these relationships are renegotiated during moments of technological change.

Abstract

"Over the past three decades, the study of the film soundtrack has developed into a rich scholarly discipline, characterized by diverse approaches and methodologies drawn from such disciplines as musicology, music theory, film and media studies, and sound studies. Yet, despite the diversity of approaches, the logic of the soundtrack and the relationship among its various components remains underexplored and undertheorized. The voice has long been an object of focus of many theoretical approaches to sound in cinema. But because of the way it relates to meaning and hierarchy, "voice" is also a useful metaphorical conceit for thinking about relations within the soundtrack. "Voice" can have multiple meanings when considering the integrated soundtrack and its position in the history of film music and sound. This volume builds on existing scholarship on music and film sound, with particular attention to the concepts of the voice in cinema, vococentrism, and the integrated soundtrack. What is the cinematic significance of the singing voice ? How do music and dialogue interact in cinema ? To what extent, if any, is silent film vococentric ? Is vococentrism still a useful category to apply to conetmporary postclassical film ? These are some of the questions the essays in this volume will address"--

Abstract

Réensauvager la planète avec la méthode Miyawaki. Et si à votre tour, vous rejoigniez le mouvement visant à restaurer la biodiversité dans nos villes en transformant les zones urbaines dégradées et sous-exploitées en écosystèmes pouvant venir au secours de la planète ? Cet ouvrage présente la méthode Miyawaki, une approche unique de reforestation élaboréé par le botaniste japonais Akira Miyawaki. Hannah Lewis y décrit comment des mini-forêts, plantées sur des sur-faces très restreintes, ont la capacité de se développer très rapidement' - bien plus qu'une forêt traditionnelle - et d'offrir de nombreux bénéfices pour la biodiversité et l'environnement. La méthode fait aujourd'hui'des émules et rencontre un grand succès à travers le monde ; cet ouvrage retrace l'histoire de ces mini-forêts qui ont surgi aux quatre coins du globe - le long des bords bétonnés du fleuve Beyrouth ou du périphérique parisien ou encore dans une arrière-cour en Inde - et des personnes passionnées à l'initiative de ces projets.Véritable approche révolutionnaire de reforestotion, la méthode d'Akira Miyawaki est sans conteste une solution accessible pour lutter contre la crise climatique et peut être mise en oeuvre partout et par tous : associations, villes, écoles, entreprises et particuliers. Hannah Lewis décrit un cadeau à un monde désespéré... Il n'y a peut-être aucune solution climatique qui, à elle seule, présente autant d'avantages que les mini-forêts.

Abstract

Over the last 30 years, the prevalence of eating disorders has increased to become a widespread problem across the UK and worldwide. This book offers a comprehensive guide written by people with eating disorders, their families and leading researchers, clinicians and therapists, all aiming to improve understanding of practical ways of helping people with eating disorders to live and thrive in their communities. The handbook covers the important topics of understanding eating difficulties in our society's context, including the role of social media and the fashion industry, and how health care professionals and voluntary organisations currently support those with an eating disorder. It explores the value of exercise, nutrition, and sleep, and considers support from parents and schools for children, as well as making reasonable accommodations for young people and adults in higher education and the workplace. Particular therapies for stabilisation and recovery are detailed, and a final section sets out examples of creative and arts-based approaches.
