DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In the last decade, digital games have been reinvented as vehicles of self-expression, sense-making, empathy, and healing, rather than just as tools of distraction from pain or discomfort.But aren’t games supposed to whisk us away to a magical world of fun and fantasy and distract us from reality? Why would we want to confront life’s challenges or hardships, for example, terminal illness, when playing a game?Reimagining how we understand health, illness, life, and death, gaming expert Sandra Danilovic advocates for the potential games have to transform healthcare practices beyond the clinic or hospital in the way we care for each other and for ourselves. From the experimental and the accessible to virtual reality and interactive fiction, and even providing a DIY guide for creating your own digital games, Danilovic draws on the untapped resources this emerging art form has to offer for exploring health and healthcare experiences more fully and inclusively.Bridging the virtual world of gaming with our physical reality, Danilovic delivers a new paradigm for thinking about games as a dynamic art technology that can transform how we understand, represent, practice, and support our health and well-being, making this a must-read for healthcare practitioners, family carers, and researchers in health humanities, as well as the curious amateur gamer.

Body Art

de Brian Brown e Virginia Kuulei Berndt

23,84€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Body art, especially tattoos and piercings, has enjoyed an explosion of interest in recent years. However, the response of many health professionals and researchers to this phenomenon is often negative, as body art continues to be associated with issues ranging from ill mental health to offending behaviors.Arguing for a reappraisal of the diverse range of practices that fall under this heading, Brian Brown and Virginia Kuulei Berndt reconsider body art as an underappreciated yet accessible source for mental and physical wellbeing. How, they ask, does body art open up new sources of community, sociality, and aesthetics? How is it used for the reclamation of one’s body, as a marker of success or accomplishment, or for building friendships? How does participation in these practices impact the health and wellbeing of body artists themselves?Providing a radical rethink that integrates tattoos and other body modifications within health, wellbeing, and positive psychology, Body Art disrupts the narrative of stigmatisation that so often surrounds these practices to welcome a broader discussion of the benefits they can offer.

Storytelling

de Michael Wilson

21,19€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Exploring the potential for storytelling as a creative practice for health and well-being, Michael Wilson considers how the art form might help us reconsider the power relationships in healthcare contexts and restore agency to patients, in partnership with medical professionals.Storytelling is explored not simply as a means of conveying information and experience from one person to another but as an act of listening, a process for thinking, evaluating and understanding. Wilson reflects on his over thirty of years of researching and practising storytelling, and blends his experience with a collection of case studies representing diverse approaches to storytelling for health, including theatre, stand-up comedy, writing, visual arts and digital storytelling. Most importantly, storytelling is approached not from the point of view of the medical practitioner or educator, or even the patient, but through the lens of those who tell stories as a creative and everyday practice. It is a book with the storyteller at its core.

Photography

de Susan Hogan

21,19€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Photography is ubiquitous. The visual image is the predominant form of communication. Arguably it is a very democratic medium, since billions of people all over the planet take photographs on their phones, and digital storage means that expensive printing is not necessary and therefore the practice is not prohibitive. Photography is important to political and social movements and connects people in emotionally meaningful relationships.This book explores the myriad ways in which photographs can be used: to document events, places or things; to consolidate personal identity; to pose a challenge to an idea or regime; to animate the inanimate (in other words, to breathe life into objects); to capture the fleeting and transitory; to create stories; to reveal what may be taken for granted, including seeing social practices; to enhance our perception and allow us to notice previously unnoticed details; to consolidate relationships; to represent the overlooked or marginalised; to commemorate; to authenticate; to tantalise. All these modes of photography have different possibilities, different intentions and different effects.
