Art And Social Change
This, the most up-to-date survey of contemporary art in the Asia Pacific, richly illustrated with new and original works by some of the most dynamic art practitioners working today, brings together a range of scholars with international reputations, unique perspectives and unparalleled insight into their region of expertise. It's engaging, clearly written and informative survey essays introduce the reader to the influences on and state of contemporary art in the region, with the aim of mapping the dynamic developments in contemporary Asian and Pacific art. Art in the region has mirrored and reflected social and political events as they have occurred in the past decades, and the majority of the writers therefore address the issue of art and social change through specific local and regional perspectives. Includes essays on India, China, New Zealand, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Phillipines, Singapore, Vietnam, and Taiwan.

Children's Unspoken Language

Gwyneth Doherty-Sneddon, a developmental psychologist and mother of a young son herself, demonstrates the way in which a young child's developing personality and intelligence is revealed in their non-verbal communication. She shows how parents and other adults have the potential to facilitate a child's social and intellectual growth through acknowledging and responding to this unspoken language.

Language As Social Action: Social Psychology and Language UseThis interdisciplinary synthesis of the social psychological aspects of language use provides an integrative and timely review of language as social action. The book successfully weaves together research from philosophy, linguistics, sociolinguistics, anthropology, social and cognitive psychology, pragmatics, and artificial intelligence. In this way, it clearly demonstrates how many aspects of social life are mediated by language and how understanding language use requires an understanding of its social dimension.
