Killing Hercules: Deianira and the Politics of Domestic Violence, from Sophocles to the War on Terror
by Richard RowlandThis book offers an entirely new reception history of the myth of Hercules and his wife/killer Deianira. The book poses, and attempts to answer, two important and related questions. First, why have artists across two millennia felt compelled to revisit this particular myth to express anxieties about violence at both a global and domestic level? Secondly, from the moment that Sophocles disrupted a myth about the definitive exemplar of masculinity and martial prowess and turned it into a story about domestic abuse, through to a 2014 production of Handel’s Hercules that was set in the context of the ‘war on terror’, the reception history of this myth has been one of discontinuity and conflict; how and why does each culture reinvent this narrative to address its own concerns and discontents, and how does each generation speak to, qualify or annihilate the certainties of its predecessors in order to understand, contain or exonerate the aggression with which their governors – of state and of the household – so often enforce their authority, and the violence to which their nations, and their homes, are perennially vulnerable?

Killing Men & Dying Women: Imagining Difference in 1950s New York Painting
by Griselda PollockWhat did it mean for painter Lee Krasner to be an artist and a woman if, in the culture of 1950s New York, to be an artist was to be Jackson Pollock and to be a woman was to be Marilyn Monroe? With this question, Griselda Pollock begins a transdisciplinary journey across the gendered aesthetics and the politics of difference in New York abstract, gestural painting. Revisiting recent exhibitions of Abstract Expressionism that either marginalised the artist-women in the movement or focused solely on the excluded women, as well as exhibitions of women in abstraction, Pollock reveals how theories of embodiment, the gesture, hysteria and subjectivity can deepen our understanding of this moment in the history of painting co-created by women and men. Providing close readings of key paintings by Lee Krasner and re-thinking her own historic examination of images of Jackson Pollock and Helen Frankenthaler at work, Pollock builds a cultural bridge between the New York artist-women and their other, Marilyn Monroe, a creative actor whose physically anguished but sexually appropriated star body is presented as pathos formula of life energy.Monroe emerges as a haunting presence within this moment of New York modernism, eroding the policed boundaries between high and popular culture and explaining what we gain by re-thinking art with the richness of feminist thought.

Kinaesthesia and Classical Antiquity 1750–1820: Moved by Stone (Bloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception)
by Helen SlaneyThis book argues that touch and movement played a significant role, long overlooked, in generating perceptions of ancient material culture in the late 18th century. At this time the reception of classical antiquity had been transformed. Interactions with material culture – ruins, sculpture, and artefacts – formed the core of this transformation. Some such interactions were proto-archaeological, such as the Dilettanti expeditions to Athens and Asa Minor; others were touristic, seen in the guidebooks consulted by travellers to Rome and the diaries they composed; and others creative, resulting in novels, poetry, and dance performances. Some involved the reproduction of experience in a gallery or museum setting. What all encounters with ancient material culture had in common, however, is their haptic sensory basis.The sense typically associated with the Enlightenment is vision, but this has obscured the equally important contribution made by touch and movement to the way in which a newly materialised Graeco-Roman world was perceived. Kinaesthesia, or the sense of self-movement, is rarely recognised in its own right, but because all encounters with sites and objects are embodied, and all embodiment takes place in motion, this sense is vital to forming more abstract or imaginative impressions. Theories of embodied cognition propose that all intellectual processes are also physical. This book shows how ideas about classical antiquity in the volatile milieu of the late 18th century developed as a result of diverse kinaesthetic relationships.

Kinaesthesia and Visual Self-Reflection in Contemporary Dance (Cognitive Studies in Literature and Performance)
by Shantel EhrenbergKinaesthesia and Visual Self-reflection in Contemporary Dance features interviews with UK-based professional-level contemporary, ballet, hip hop, and breaking dancers and cross-disciplinary explication of kinaesthesia and visual self-reflection discourses. Expanding on the concept of a ‘kinaesthetic mode of attention’ leads to discussion of some of the key values and practices which nurture and develop this mode in contemporary dance. Zooming in on entanglements with video self-images in dance practice provides further insights regarding kinaesthesia’s historicised polarisation with the visual. It thus provides opportunities to dwell on and reconsider reflections, opening up to a set of playful yet disruptive diffractions inherent in the process of becoming a contemporary dancer, particularly amongst an increasingly complex landscape of visual and theoretical technologies.
Kinaesthetic Knowing: Aesthetics, Epistemology, Modern Design
by Zeynep Çelik AlexanderIs all knowledge the product of thought? Or can the physical interactions of the body with the world produce reliable knowledge? In late-nineteenth-century Europe, scientists, artists, and other intellectuals theorized the latter as a new way of knowing, which Zeynep Çelik Alexander here dubs “kinaesthetic knowing.” In this book, Alexander offers the first major intellectual history of kinaesthetic knowing and its influence on the formation of modern art and architecture and especially modern design education. Focusing in particular on Germany and tracing the story up to the start of World War II, Alexander reveals the tension between intellectual meditation and immediate experience to be at the heart of the modern discourse of aesthetics, playing a major part in the artistic and teaching practices of numerous key figures of the period, including Heinrich Wölfflin, Hermann Obrist, August Endell, László Moholy-Nagy, and many others. Ultimately, she shows, kinaesthetic knowing did not become the foundation of the human sciences, as some of its advocates had hoped, but it did lay the groundwork—at such institutions as the Bauhaus—for modern art and architecture in the twentieth century.

Kinästhetische Interferenzen: Körpertechnik und Tanznotation im Entwurfsprozess architektonischer Räume (Architekturen #65)
by Dominik MohsIn einer künstlerisch basierten Studie zwischen architektonischer Entwurfspraxis und Tanzwissenschaft untersucht Dominik Mohs die Wechselwirkungen von Raumgestaltung und kinästhetischer Wahrnehmung. Rudolph von Labans choreographisches Denken überführt er dafür in eine experimentelle Versuchsanordnung, in der er Raumbildungsprozesse und Antriebe von Bewegungsimprovisationen mit Methoden der Tanzwissenschaften und Motion Capturing analysiert. Tänzerische Bewegung, verstanden als Einfühlung in den Raum und Ausdrucksgeschehen leiblich zentrierter Wahrnehmung, wird damit zur Grundlage, um den von August Schmarsow eingeführten architektonischen Raumbegriff zu hinterfragen.

A Kind of Magic: Making the Original Highlander
by Jonathan Melville’An engrossing read with plenty of on-set anecdotes and insight’ – Neil Smith, Total Film’A definitive history . . . which every fan should read’ – Scott Varnham, Starburst’Jonathan Melville has done it again with yet another deep dive into a cult classic. His ability to dig out the facts is truly admirable. I thought I knew all there was to know about Highlander, but A Kind of Magic proves just how wrong I was’ – Mike White, The Projection Booth PodcastThe story of an immortal Scottish warrior battling evil down through the centuries, Highlander fused a high-concept idea with the kinetic energy of a pop promo pioneer and Queen’s explosive soundtrack to become a cult classic.When two American producers took a chance on a college student’s script, they set in motion a chain of events involving an imploding British film studio, an experimental music video director still finding his filmmaking feet, a former James Bond with a spiralling salary, and the unexpected arrival of low-budget production company, Cannon Films.Author Jonathan Melville looks back at the creation of Highlander with the help of more than 60 cast and crew, including stars Christopher Lambert and Clancy Brown, as they talk candidly about the gruelling shoot that took them from the back alleys of London, to the far reaches of the Scottish Highlands, and onto the mean streets of 1980s New York City.With insights from Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor on the film’s iconic music, exclusive screenwriter commentary on unmade scripts, never-before-seen photos from private collections, and a glimpse into the promotional campaign that never was, if there can be only one book on Highlander then this is it!

Kind und Fernsehen: Theoretische und empirische Untersuchung zum Kinderfernsehen (Forschungsberichte des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen #2954)
by Gerhard AugstEiner der ersten öffentlichen Auftritte des neu gegründeten For schungsschwerpunktes 'Massenmedien und Kommunikation' an der GH Siegen war im Mai 1976 eine Vortrags- und Diskussionsveranstal tung, bei der der Kommunikationstheoretiker Horst Holzer (München) und der Kinderfilmautor Sven Severin (Wiesbaden) sprachen. Severin zeigte einen Film, den das ZDF als dritten Teil der Rappelkistensendung 'Kinder machen nicht alles kaputt' sonntags zuvor gesendet hatte. Die Meinungen prallten hart aufeinander, die Urteile über den Film schwankten von "völlig unzureichend" bis "großartig". Viele Diskussionsbei träge gingen dabei von Vermutungen über die Wirkung dieses Films auf Kinder und Erwachsene aus. Dies war der Punkt, an dem wir uns angesprochen fühlten. Ein Ur teil über die Güte des Films muß auch davon abhängen, ob die Kinder und auch die Erwachsenen, denn mit deren Hilfe rechnet das Rappelkistenteam,den Film inhaltlich verstehen, ob sie den Sinn und damit auch die Intentionen des Films begreifen, ob si~ bereit sind, die Intentionen, Handlungsanweisungen bzw. die nor mativen (präskriptiven) Aussagen des Films zu akzeptieren, so daß die Kinder in Zukunft danach handeln und die Erwachsenen ihre Kinder in Zukunft danach handeln lassen.
