The Drawings of Peter Lanyon

The Drawings of Peter Lanyon

This title was first published in 2003. Peter Lanyon stood at the forefront of landscape painting in Europe during the late 1950s and early 60s. A prominent St Ives artist he was associated with Barbara Hepworth Ben Nicholson and Naum Gabo; his work also has affinities with abstract expressionism. Lanyon's career started just as the study of drawing was being liberated from 19th-century academic constrictions. His many drawings range from records of trips to the Netherlands and Italy to portrait sketches and abstract studies. Lanyon also used drawings extensively in the development of some of his most important paintings. In this study Margaret Garlake explores Lanyon's theory and practice of drawing; the contribution of drawings to the evocation of place in paintings; his use of models and the metamorphosis of the human body into landscape images as well as his use of three-dimensional constructions as equivalents to drawing. | The Drawings of Peter Lanyon

Shakespeare’s Forgotten Allegory Vice Virtue and Spoilt Children

Shakespeare’s Forgotten Allegory Vice Virtue and Spoilt Children

Shakespeare’s Forgotten Allegory posits three startling points: that we have today forgotten a cultural icon that helped to bring about the Renaissance; that this character used to distil classical wisdom regarding how to raise children to become moral adults consistently appeared in plays performed between 1350 and 1650; and that the character was often utilised by the likes of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson and therefore adds a long-forgotten allegorical narrative to their works. This evidence-based reappraisal of some of the most iconic works in Western literature suggests that a core element of their content has been ‘lost’ for centuries. This text will appeal to anyone with an interest in late medieval and early modern drama especially the works of Shakespeare; to those interested in the history of teaching and child-rearing; to anyone curious about the practical application of philosophy in society; to anyone that would like to know more about the crucial and defining period today known as the Renaissance and how and why society was redesigned by those with influence; and to all those who would like to know more about how history which though sometimes misplaced continues to influenced our modern world. | Shakespeare’s Forgotten Allegory Vice Virtue and Spoilt Children

Climate Change Action and the Responsibility to Protect A Common Cause

Climate Change Action and the Responsibility to Protect A Common Cause

This book brings together two important fields in the study of international politics and policy: climate change adaptation and mitigation (climate action) and the Responsibility to Protect (R2P). Both have attracted strong scholarly attention in each of their respective research silos but there is yet to be a strong research push that explores the relationship between the two. Filling this gap Ben L. Parr argues that the climate action and the R2P agendas share a common goal: to protect vulnerable human populations from large-scale harm. To substantiate this argument Parr reveals where the historical conceptual and operational parallels exist between the two agendas and where and when researchers and practitioners from both camps might work together in practice to achieve their common goal in the challenging years ahead. Notably the book builds on recent efforts by Western governments in the UK US and EU to integrate climate action policies into conflict prevention and response policies. To achieve this the volume situates a variety of climate action policies alongside the 46 policy options found in the R2P operational framework (commonly known as the R2P toolbox) across its prevention reaction and rebuilding phases. Climate Change Action and the Responsibility to Protect will be of significant interest to policy-orientated students and scholars those working at the academic-policy interface in the NGO community as well as those working in government and international organisations. | Climate Change Action and the Responsibility to Protect A Common Cause
