159.94 BAT Patrick Bateson and Paul Martin. Play, playfulness, creativity and innovation Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, [2013]. Contents Machine generated contents note: Preface; Acknowledgements; 1. Introduction; 2. The biology of play; 3. The functions of play; 4. Evolution and play; 5. Creativity in humans; 6. Animals finding novel solutions; 7. People and organisations; 8. Childhood play and creativity; 9. Humour and playfulness; 10. Dreams, drugs and creativity; 11. Pulling the threads together; Endnotes; References; Index. Abstract What role does playful behaviour and playful thought take in animal and human development? How does play relate to creativity and, in turn, to innovation? Unravelling the different meanings of ’play’, this book focuses on non-aggressive playful play. The authors emphasise its significance for development and evolution, before examining the importance of playfulness in creativity. This discussion sheds new light on the links between creativity and innovation, distinguishing between the generation of novel behaviour and ideas on the one hand, and the implementation of these novelties on the other. The authors then turn to the role of play in the development of the child and to parallels between play, humour and dreaming, along with the altered states of consciousness generated by some psychoactive drugs. A final chapter looks forward to future research and to what remains to be discovered in this fascinating and important field. Subject Play Play -- Psychological aspects.

159.94 LIE Lieberman, J. Nina Playfulness : its relationship to imagination and creativity New York : Academic Press, [1977] Abstract The book focuses on a discussion of the play element in play. This book discusses the differentiation between play and exploratory behavior based on familiar versus novel aspects in the factual givens. Organized into seven chapters, this book begins with an overview of the role of play, imagination, and creativity in psychological research. This text then examines the theoretical model that indicates the role of playfulness in affective, cognitive, and social functioning, and particularly relates these links to creativity and imagination. Other chapters consider playfulness as behavior at later stages of development. This book discusses as well some of the variables considered in relation to playfulness, including sex differences, social class, and level of intelligence.

159.94 PLA Play and playfulness : developmental, cultural, and clinical aspects Lanham, Maryland : Rowman & Littlefield, [2011] Contents Self-other action play : a window into the representational world of the infant / Anni Bergman and Ilene Sackler Lefcourt -- Fathers and play / James Herzog -- Adolescence as a time to play / Christine Kieffer -- Neurotic inhibitions of play / M. Hossein Etezady -- Normal and pathological playfulness / Salman Akhtar -- Remembering, replaying, and working through : the transformation of trauma in children’s play / Monisha C. Akhtar -- Cultural pathways to understanding children’s play : mythology and folklore / Daniel M.A. Freeman -- Playing for survival during the Holocaust / Ira Brenner -- Play and creativity / Lucy Daniels -- Play and track II diplomacy / Vamik Volkan -- Aggression in children : origins, manifestations, and management through play / Mali Mann -- Play and very young children in object relations family therapy / Jill Scharff -- Playfulness in the adult analytic relationship / Melvin Bornstein Abstract While the psychodynamic understanding of play and play’s therapeutic potential was long restricted to the realm of children, Winnicott’s work demonstrated the profound significance of the capacity to play for healthy mental functioning during adult life. Scattered writings of Erikson, Glenn, and Shopper notwithstanding, the early spark of understanding remained largely ill developed. In Play and Playfulness, the reader is offered an exciting and highly informative set of essays about the psychic area that lies between reality and unreality and between veracity and imagination. It is the area of paradox and creativity. It sustains the self, allows for ego-replenishing regressions, and adds to the joy of the vital and lived experience. This book provides an easy and readable passage to the valley of the transitional experience in which creative synthesis of reality and unreality leads to a world of vigor, enthusiasm, and liveliness. The cultural variations and the clinical implications of such an experience are thoroughly elucidated. The result is a volume replete with technical virtuosity, clinical relevance, and the basic and nearly self evident humane music of the day-to-day experience of life.

159.94 UPT Upton, Brian The aesthetic of play Cambridge, Massachusetts, MIT Press, [2015] Contents Defining play -- Interactivity -- Play spaces -- Heuristics -- Anticipation -- Mastery -- Understanding -- Epistemology -- Neurons -- Signs -- Playing without winning -- Performance -- Narrative play -- Narrative structure -- Play & meaning -- Critical play Abstract A game designer considers the experience of play, why games have rules, and the relationship of play and narrative. The impulse toward play is very ancient, not only pre-cultural but pre-human; zoologists have identified play behaviors in turtles and in chimpanzees. Games have existed since antiquity; 5,000-year-old board games have been recovered from Egyptian tombs. And yet we still lack a critical language for thinking about play. Game designers are better at answering small questions (“Why is this battle boring?”) than big ones (“What does this game mean?”). In this book, the game designer Brian Upton analyzes the experience of play―how playful activities unfold from moment to moment and how the rules we adopt constrain that unfolding. Drawing on games that range from Monopoly to Dungeons & Dragons to Guitar Hero, Upton develops a framework for understanding play, introducing a set of critical tools that can help us analyze games and game designs and identify ways in which they succeed or fail. Upton also examines the broader epistemological implications of such a framework, exploring the role of play in the construction of meaning and what the existence of play says about the relationship between our thoughts and external reality. He considers the making of meaning in play and in every aspect of human culture, and he draws on findings in pragmatic epistemology, neuroscience, and semiotics to describe how meaning emerges from playful engagement. Upton argues that play can also explain particular aspects of narrative; a play-based interpretive stance, he proposes, can help us understand the structure of books, of music, of theater, of art, and even of the process of critical engagement itself.

This shift coincides with technological advancements that have reoriented end-user computer interaction from individual work to communication, participation and collaboration. However, while daily interactions are increasingly engulfed in mobile and networked Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), in-school learning interactions are, in comparison, technologically impoverished, creating the phenomenon known as the school-society digital disconnect. This volume argues that the theoretical and practical tools of scientists in both the social and educational sciences must be brought together in order to examine what types of interaction, knowledge construction, social organization and power structures: (a) occur spontaneously in technology-enhanced learning (TEL) communities or (b) can be created by design of TEL. This volume seeks to equip scholars and researchers within the fields of education, educational psychology, science communication, social welfare, information sciences, and instructional design, as well as practitioners and policy-makers, with empirical and theoretical insights, and evidence-based support for decisions providing learners and citizens with 21st century skills and knowledge, and supporting well-being in today’s information-based networked society.

7.011 KOR Koren, Leonard Arranging things : a rhetoric of object placement Berkeley : Stone Bridge Press, [2003] Contents Arranging things in the "real world" versus arranging things in the "art world" -- Why a rhetoric of object placement (i.e., arranging things)? -- A mini-history of rhetoric -- Constructing a rhetoric -- Eight rhetorical principles -- Using the rhetorical principles -- Brief rhetorical analyses of the arrangements pictured in this book Abstract "Seldom does one stumble across a writer bold enough to write a manuscript of theory on aesthetic beauty. But not only does Leonard Koren manage to handle this awkward subject matter with relative ease, he manages to fit his pragmatic approach to design into just 126 pages" -- J Select "It sounds heavy, but the writing style is easy to follow. If you want to see where an original thinker can go with aesthetics and design, pick up this inspirational book." -- Country Almanac Just as his classic bestseller Wabi-Sabi explored the quintessential Japanese aesthetic, Leonard Koren’s new book uncovers the underlying principles that govern how Western designers arrange things in three-dimensional compositions. Inspired by Greek and Roman notions of rhetoric—the ancient art of argument and delivery—Koren elucidates the elements of arranging rhetoric that all designers instinctively use in everything from floral compositions to interior decorating. Those who master Koren’s rhetoric of object placement will have the ability to persuade, uplift, and confound their audience. Not a how-to but a manifesto of theory and insight, this book will change the way you see, and arrange, your world. Leonard Koren is author of Wabi-Sabi and lives in San Francisco and Tokyo. Nathalie du Pasquier is a Milan-based painter and textile designer for the Memphis movement. Subject Composition (Art) Aesthetics Design -- Philosophy. 42830

7.036BAUHAUS DRO Droste, Magdalena Koln : Taschen, [2019] Contents Foreword to the new 2019 edition -- On the origins of the Bauhaus -- Weimar Bauhaus: expressionist Bauhaus -- Art and technology: a new unity -- Dessau Bauhaus: institute of design -- Hannes Meyer: necessities, not luxuries -- Ludwig Mies van der Rohe: the Bauhaus becomes a school of architecture -- Appendix Abstract Best of Bauhaus The definitive reference work, now in a compact format In a fleeting 14-year period between two world wars, Germany’s Bauhaus school of art and design changed the face of modernity. With utopian ideas for the future, the school developed a pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship, and technology, which they applied across media and practices from film to theater, and sculpture to ceramics. This best-selling reference work is made in collaboration with the Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum für Gestaltung in Berlin, the world’s largest collection on the history of the Bauhaus. Documents, studies, more than 250 new photographs, sketches, plans, and models record not only the realized works but also the leading principles and personalities of this idealistic creative community through its three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin. From informal shots of group gymnastics to drawings guided by Paul Klee, from extensive architectural plans to an infinitely sleek ashtray by Marianne Brandt, the collection brims with the colors, materials, and geometries that made up the Bauhaus vision of a “total” work of art. As we approach the Bauhaus centennial, this is a defining account of its energy and rigor, not only as a trailblazing movement in Modernism but also as a paradigm of art education, where creative expression and cutting-edge ideas led to simultaneously functional and beautiful creations. The handy edition features artists Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Walter Gropius, Gertrud Grunow, Paul Klee, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Lilly Reich, and many more. Per.Sub.

7.05 THU Thun, Matteo Berlin : Ernst & Sohn, 1993 Abstract Matteo Thun, born in 1952, is renowned as one of the founder of Scottsass Associati and of Memphis. His highly individual path is presented here for the first time in the form of a monograph. Endowed with a quite striking, baroque formal language, he has cultivated in quite unparalleled manner the art of designing "anonymous” mass articles for industry. The combination of fun and seriousness, style and gag, content and façade continually challenge him. Yet his emphasis on the decorative, on surfaces, have made him a decidedly controversial figure. He works for companies such as AEG, Philipps, Martin Stoll, Campari, Swatch and many others in the areas of product and interior design, packaging and communication. Five internationally renowned authors, all authorities on his work, describe Matteo Thun, his person and his working methods. Per.Sub.

Abstract This book takes a close look at the key developments, movements and practitioners of design around the world, from the beginnings of industrial manufacturing to the present day. Organized chronologically, it locates design within its technological, cultural, economic, aesthetic and theoretical contexts. From the high-minded moralists of the 19th century to the radical thinkers of modernism the book provides in-depth coverage of a subject that touches all our lives. Iconic works that mark significant steps forward or that characterize a particular era or approach - such as Marcel Breuer’s Wassily chair of 1925, Eliot Noyes’ corporate identity work for IBM in the 1950s and Matthew Carter’s Verdana typeface, designed to be read on screen - are analysed in detail, while the text sets out the framework of ideas, intent and technology within which differing approaches to design have evolved. From the cars we drive and the products we buy to the graphics that surround us, we are all consumers of design. Subject Industrial design -- History. 42811

Contents Introduction. The False Separation of Fine and Decorative Sculpture : Problems with the Rodin Scholarship for the Study of French Sculpture, 1848-1895 -- Sculptors and Industrial Art, 1848-1870. The Professional and Legal Position of Sculptors in 1848 -- Salon Sculpture and Industry : Pradier’s Standing Sappho -- The Diffusion of Renaissance Sculpture in Barbedienne’s Furniture -- Ornamental Sculpture and its Sculptors -- Decorative Sculpture and the Third Republic, 1870-1889. Sculptors and the State in the 1870s -- Carrier-Belleuse and the Revival of Sculpture in Ceramics, 1875-1887 -- A Reconsideration of Rodin’s Involvement in Design Reform -- Decorative Sculpture and the Fine Arts, 1890-1895. The Objets d’Arts Section at the Société nationale des beaux-arts, 1892 -- Desbois’s Pewter ware -- Chéret’s Posthumous Exhibition at the Ecole des beaux-arts, 1894 -- Conclusion : The Limits of Decorative Sculpture. Abstract Challenging distinctions between fine and decorative art, this book begins with a critique of the Rodin scholarship, to establish how the selective study of his oeuvre has limited our understanding of French nineteenth-century sculpture. The book’s central argument is that we need to include the decorative in the study of sculpture, in order to present a more accurate and comprehensive account of the practice and profession of sculpture in this period. Drawing on new archival sources, sculptors and objects, this is the first sustained study of how and why French sculptors collaborated with state and private luxury goods manufacturers between 1848 and 1895. Organised chronologically, the book identifies three historically-situated frameworks, through which sculptors attempted to validate themselves and their work in relation to industry: industrial art, decorative art and objet d’art. Detailed readings are offered of sculptors who operated within and outside the Salon, including Sévin, Chéret, Carrier-Belleuse and Rodin; and of diverse objects and materials, from Sèvres vases, to pewter plates by Desbois, and furniture by Barbedienne and Carabin. By contesting the false separation of art from industry, Claire Jones’s study restores the importance of the sculptor-manufacturer relationship, and of the decorative, to the history of sculpture.
