The team of international contributors provide an invaluable resource for other academics who may be exposed to similar situations and may find these narratives useful in negotiating the conflicts and challenges that they may encounter in being an international academic. The narratives provide a fascinating reference point and a wide range of perspectives of teaching experiences from across the world, including Europe, Australia, North America and the Caribbean. The book offers a timely spotlight on contemporary issues of globalisation that many higher education institutions around the world may encounter. It contributes to the originality of constructing new knowledge in the field of transnational higher education - a modern phenomenon which will be increasingly prominent in the current and next generation in the globalised higher education contexts."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Teachers, ForeignAustraliaTeachers, ForeignCaribbean AreaTeachers, ForeignEuropeTeachers, ForeignNorth AmericaHigher & further education, tertiary educationTeachers, ForeignTeachers, ForeignTeachers, ForeignTeachers, Foreign378.120922Hosein AnesaKinchin IanRao Namrata, 1981-Yeh Chloe Shu-HuaUtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910511626403321Academics' international teaching journeys2552635UNINA03428nam 2200361 450 991052010100332120230517174752.0(CKB)5670000000197666(NjHacI)995670000000197666(EXLCZ)99567000000019766620230517d2021 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAnime Studies Media-Specific Approaches to Neon Genesis Evangelion /edited by José Andrés Santiago, Ana SolerStockholm :Stockholm University Press,2021.1 online resource (382 pages) illustrations91-7635-167-X Anime Studies: Media-Specific Approaches to Neon Genesis Evangelion aims at advancing the study of anime, understood as largely TV-based genre fiction rendered in cel, or cel-look, animation with a strong affinity to participatory cultures and media convergence. Taking Neon Genesis Evangelion (Shin Seiki Evangerion) as a case study, this volume acknowledges anime as a media form with clearly recognizable aesthetic properties, (sub)cultural affordances and situated discourses.;First broadcast in Japan in 1995-96, Neon Genesis Evangelion became an epoch-making anime, and later franchise. The initial series used already available conventions, visual resources and narrative tropes typical of anime in general and the mecha (or giant-robot) genre in particular, but at the same time it subverted and reinterpreted them in a highly innovative and as such standard-setting way.;Investigating anime through Neon Genesis Evangelion this volume takes a broadly understood media-aesthetic and media-cultural perspective, which pertains to medium in the narrow sense of technology, techniques, materials, and semiotics, but also mediality and mediations related to practices and institutions of production, circulation, and consumption. In no way intended to be exhaustive, this volume attests to the emergence of anime studies as a field in its own right, including but not prioritizing expertise in film studies and Japanese studies, and with due regard to the most widely shared critical publications in Japanese and English language. Thus, the volume provides an introduction to studies of anime, a field that necessarily interrelates media-specific and transmedial aspects.;In Anime Studies: Media-Specific Approaches to Neon Genesis Evangelion, anime is addressed from a transnational and transdisciplinary stance. The disciplinary and methodological perspectives taken by the individual chapters range from audio-visual culture, narratology, performance and genre theory to fandom studies and gender studies. In its first part, the book focuses on textual analysis and media form in the narrow sense with regard to filmic media, bank footage, voice acting and musical score, and then it broadens the scope to consider subcultural discourse, franchising, manga and video game adaptations, as well as critical and affective user engagement.Anime Studies Animation (Cinematography)JapanAnimation (Cinematography)791.4Santiago José AndrésSoler AnaNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910520101003321Anime Studies2987124UNINA02552nam 2200433za 450 991078642700332120230711153215.09781780674216 (e-book)9781780673349 (pbk.)(MiAaPQ)EBC1876171(EXLCZ)99371000000011325420140522d2014 uy 0engur|n|---|||||Fabric for fashion[electronic resource] the complete guide : natural and man-made fibers /Clive Hallett and Amanda Johnston ; photo editing and commissioned photography by Myka BaumLondon Laurence King20141 online resource (272 p.) illIncludes index.1-78067-334-5 Introduction -- Fibers to fabrics -- Introducing color -- Section 1: Animal fibers -- Wool -- Luxury animal fibers -- Silk -- Section 2: Plant fibers -- Linen -- Cotton -- Alternative plant fibers -- Section 3: Man-made fibers -- Synthetic fibers -- Artificial fibers -- Useful information -- Fabric and the fashion industry -- Resources/Glossary -- Index/Credits/Acknowledgments.Fabric for Fashion: The Complete Guide is the only book specifically for fashion designers to explain the behavior and properties of different fabrics. Fashion design is largely determined by how the fabrics work, move, feel, and look. The most successful fashion designers are those who understand their materials, who match design skill with technical knowledge. This book bridges that gap by providing a mix of practical information and industry vocabulary, visually examining generic fabric types, discussing the characteristics of fabrics, and showing how to exploit materials to push the boundaries of design. With stunning colour photographs that show how fashion designers, both past and present, have worked with fabrics, the book’s prime objective is to stimulate creative exploration of the relationship of fabrics to fashion.Textile fabricsFashion designDressmaking materialsTextile industryTextile fibersTextile fabrics.Fashion design.Dressmaking materials.Textile industry.Textile fibers.746.92Hallett Clive1269428Johnston Amanda1269429Baum Myka1524846BOOK9910786427003321Fabric for fashion3765903UNINA
