Replacing Your Boat's Electrical System - Mike Westin - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Replacing Your Boat's Electrical System - Mike Westin - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The third in a series of highly practical, hands on, step-by-step photographic manuals, Replacing Your Boat''s Electrical System fills a gap in the market for the DIY boat builder and repairer. It is a subject covered only in piecemeal fashion by the yachting press, which, like general boat repair manuals, can''t go into the level of detail Mike Westin does in this superlative volume.This is a visual, hand-holding guide, dwelling on the details as it explains each procedure rather than focusing on the theory (which is relegated to an appendix, for those who wish to go further).

Jubilee - Derek Jarman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Jubilee - Derek Jarman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Faith in the establishment collapsing everywhere. The far right on the march. Culture wars and random violence – all decked out in red, white and blue. But a spirit of anarchy hangs in the air, the desire to burn it all down and start over.Derek Jarman’s iconic film captured punk at its giddy height: a riot of music, DIY fashion, and every kind of sex – with a little pyromania thrown in. Forty years on, this new stage adaptation of Jubilee remixes it for the social and political turmoil of 2017. The cast of the original production at the Royal Exchange Manchester was led by one of the film''s original cast members, legendary punk warrior Toyah Willcox. Centred around a marauding girl gang on a killing spree and a time-travelling Queen Elizabeth I, it''s a story of what happens when creativity and nihilism collide.

Costuming Cosplay - Theresa M. (michigan State University Winge - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Costuming Cosplay - Theresa M. (michigan State University Winge - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Cosplay, short for "costume play", has grown from its origins at fan conventions into a billion-dollar global dress phenomenon.

Drawing on extensive first-hand research at conventions across North America and Asia, Therèsa M.

Women, Making, and Everyday Value in Contemporary Installation Art - Elyse Speaks - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Women, Making, and Everyday Value in Contemporary Installation Art - Elyse Speaks - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

What can art offer as it extends beyond aesthetic categories and their boundaries? Examining the work of three major American contemporary artists, Jessica Stockholder, Liza Lou, and Sarah Sze, this book explores their installation-specific practice in rich detail, connecting it to wider issues surrounding feminist art, everyday objects, DIY spaces and practice in the 1990s and broader contemporary period.Feminist art practice has long invested in the shape, routines, and materials of everyday life but the 1990s saw a significant return of handwork and process-driven practice within installation art. This book highlights the capacity for artwork to promote alternate categories of aesthetic experience through investigations of inventive and alternative materials and processes. By looking across these artists'' contrasting practices and approaches to intermediality, the book shows how their work makes connections between the mundane and surprising, the banal and transformed, and the real and imaginary.Richly illustrated and drawing on interviews with Stockholder, Lou and Sze, each chapter presents a case study for how these artists have questioned the aesthetics of the everyday through their provocative use of everyday objects, craft materials and making techniques. Each artwork is situated within broader issues surrounding materiality and contemporary art, and each artist examined in relation to their contemporaries, including Abraham Cruzvillegas, Haegue Yang, Rachel Harrison, Thomas Hirschhorn, Cady Noland, Gabriel Orozco, Rikrit Tiravanija and Do Ho Suh. What emerges is a new understanding of aesthetic and material value, and the legacy of experimental forms of artistic production.

Getting the Joke - Oliver (university Of Kent Double - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

''This is the kind of book that troubles grey-suited committees of academic peers. It’s too enjoyable. But that, given its subject, is just what it ought to be, and it treats that subject seriously . . . There isn’t a “dull” page anywhere in the book.'' – Professor Peter Thomson, Studies in Theatre and Performance Comedy is changing: stand-up comedians routinely sell out stadia, their audience-figures swollen by panel-show appearances and much-followed Twitter feeds. Meanwhile, the smaller clubs are filling up, with audiences as well as aspirants. How can we make sense of it all? This new edition of Getting the Joke gives an insider''s look at the spectrum of modern comedy, re-examining the world of stand-up in the internet age. Drawing on his acclaimed first edition, Oliver Double focuses in greater detail on the US scene and its comedians (such as David Cross, Sarah Silverman, Louis CK, Demetri Martin and Margaret Cho); the ''DIY'' comedy circuit and its celebrated apostles and visionaries, from Josie Long to Stewart Lee; the growing importance of the solo stand-up show; the role played by Twitter (including an interview with the organiser of the world''s first comedy gig on Twitter), and the driving force that is the TV guest slot, be it on Mock the Week or Live at the Apollo . With expanded sections on joke construction, as well as ways to challenge the audience, and a host of new and updated exercises to guide the aspiring comedian, this new edition of Getting the Joke is the only book to combine the history of stand-up comedy with an analysis of the elements and methods that go into its creation. Featuring a range of interviews with working comedians – from circuit veterans to new kids on the block – combined with the author''s vast experience, this is a must read for any aspiring stand-up comedian.
