<div> <div> "Ending violent conflict requires societies to take leaps of political imagination. Artistic communities are often uniquely placed to help promote new thinking by enabling people to see things differently. In place of conflict’s binary divisions, artists are often charged with exploring the ambiguities and possibilities of the excluded middle. Yet, their role in peacebuilding remains little explored. This excellent and agenda-setting volume provides a ground-breaking look at a range of artistic practices, and the ways in which they have attempted to support peacebuilding – a must-read for all practitioners and policy-makers, and indeed other peacemakers looking for inspiration." </div> <div> Professor Christine Bell, FBA, Professor of Constitutional Law, Assistant Principal (Global Justice), and co-director of the Global Justice Academy, The University of Edinburgh, UK </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> " <i>Peacebuilding and the Arts</i> offers an impressive and impressively comprehensive engagement with the role that visual art, music, literature, film and theatre play in building peaceful and just societies. Without idealizing the role of the arts, the authors explore their potential and limits in a wide range of cases, from Korea, Cambodia, Colombia and Northern Ireland to Uganda, Rwanda, South Africa and Israel-Palestine." </div>Roland Bleiker, Professor of International Relations, University of Queensland, Australia, and author of <i>Aesthetics and World Politics</i> and <i>Visual Global Politics</i> <br> </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> " <i>Peacebuilding and the Arts</i> is the first publication to focus critically and comprehensively on the relations between the creative arts and peacebuilding, expanding the conventional boundaries of peacebuilding and conflict transformation to include the artist, actor, poet, novelist, dramatist, musician, dancer and film director. The sections on the visual arts, music, literature, film and theatre, include case studies from very different cultures, contexts and settings but a central theme is that the creative arts can play a unique and crucial role in the building of peaceful and just societies, with the power to transform relationships, heal wounds, and nurture compassion and empathy. <i>Peacebuilding and the Arts</i> is a vital and unique resource which will stimulate critical discussion and further research, but it will also help to refine and reframe our understanding of peacebuilding. While it will undoubtedly become mandatory reading for students of peacebuilding and the arts, its original approach and dynamic exploratory style should attract a much wider interdisciplinary audience." </div> <div> Professor Anna King, Professor of Religious Studies and Social Anthropology and Director of Research, Centre of Religion, Reconciliation and Peace (WCRRP), University of Winchester, UK </div> <div> <br...

<p>This book explores the evolution of Canadian and Australian national identities in the era of decolonization by evaluating educational policies in Ontario, Canada, and Victoria, Australia. Drawing on sources such as textbooks and curricula, the book argues that Britishness, a sense of imperial citizenship connecting white Anglo-Saxons across the British Empire, continued to be a crucial marker of national identity in both Australia and Canada until the late 1960s and early 1970s, when educators in Ontario and Victoria abandoned Britishness in favor of multiculturalism. Chapters explore how textbooks portrayed imperialism, the close relationship between religious education and Britishness, and efforts to end assimilationist Anglocentrism and promote equality in education. The book contributes to British World scholarship by demonstrating how decolonization precipitated a massive search for identity in Ontario and Victoria that continues to challenge educators and policy-makers today.</p>

Renowned Baptist preacher Frank W. Boreham was known for his unusual ability to spin moving religious lessons from the stuff of everyday life. In the unique collection A Handful of Stars, Boreham takes this approach a step further. Drawing on excerpts from famous novels and nonfiction works, the author summarizes each work's theme and then relates it to a Christian concept or parable. Frank W. Boreham (3 March 1871 – 18 May 1959) was a Baptist preacher best known in New Zealand, Australia, and England. (His birth coincided with the end of the Franco-Prussian War and he could say in later life that, "Salvoes of artillery and peals of bells echoed across Europe on the morning of my birth.") He was one of 10 children. Boreham heard the great American preacher Dwight L. Moody during his youth. Another remarkable occasion was when he was badly injured and spent considerable time in hospital recovering, nursed by a Roman Catholic woman who widened his insight of ecumenism. Boreham became a Baptist preacher after conversion to Christianity while working in London. Boreham was probably the last student interviewed by Charles Spurgeon for entry into his Pastor's College. After graduation, Boreham accepted a ministry at Mosgiel church, Dunedin, New Zealand, in March 1895 and there began his prolific writings initially for the local newspaper. He later was a pastor in Hobart, Tasmania, and then on mainland Australia in Melbourne at Armadale and Kew. He notionally retired in 1928 at age 57, but continued to preach and write. During Billy Graham's evangelistic campaign in Australia in early 1959 Graham sought out Boreham in particular for a discussion, due in great part to Boreham's widely read and respected writings.

Was passiert, wenn sich zwei testosterongesteuerte und trinkfreudige Provinz-Intellektuelle mit allerlei skurrilen Allüren und Eigenheiten from Austria auf den Weg nach Australia machen, um drei Wochen lang auf einem Roadtrip entlang der Ostküste von Sydney nach Cairns den Urlaub ihres Lebens zu verbringen? Ausgestattet mit einer Schweinemaske aus Gummi, zwei als Zipflbobs bezeichneten Wintersportgeräten (!) und einer vollen Ladung hochkarätigen Rotweins im Frachtraum ihres klapprigen Campers, stolpern der snobistische Burgenländer und der erdige Steirer auf der Suche nach spannenden Erlebnissen, Spaß und amourösen Abenteuern von einer wahnwitzigen und grotesken Situation in die nächste. Ob als unfreiwillige Nacktflitzer im Nobelhotel, als verhinderte Karaoke-Stars in einem schmierigen Nachtclub, als seekranke Tauchamateure am Great Barrier Riff oder als von kolossalem Pech verfolgte Möchtegern-Casanovas - die 2 Schweine in Australien machen dem Titel ihrer satirischen Reisetagebücher in jeder Hinsicht alle Ehre. Die mit Illustrationen von Bernd Püribauer adäquat bebilderte Erzählung der Begebenheiten aus den unterschiedlichen Perspektiven der beiden Protagonisten (ergänzt um die penible Erläuterung einschlägiger Dialektausdrücke) ist nichts für zarte Gemüter: brachial, kompromisslos, ordinär, sexistisch, politisch völlig unkorrekt - und vor allem saukomisch. Ein unterhaltsames Buch für Männer - und für Frauen, die die wahre Natur der Männer entdecken wollen.
