Mobilizing Knowledge in Physiotherapy
Mobilizing Knowledge in Physiotherapy: Critical Reflections on Foundations and Practices is a collection of 15 collaboratively written critical essays, by 39 authors from 15 disciplines and seven countries. The book challenges some of the most important contemporary assumptions about physiotherapy knowledge, and makes the case for much more critical theory, practice, and education in physiotherapy health and social care. The book challenges the kinds of thinking that have traditionally bounded the profession and highlights the ways in which knowledge is now increasingly fluid, complex, and diffuse. The collection engages a range of critical social theories and interdisciplinary perspectives ...
Progressing Critical Posthuman Perspectives in Health Sociology
This book shows the potential of posthuman thinking for rethinking health care, experiences, subjects and interventions. It explores a range of posthuman dilemmas across diverse health issues as contributors grapple with the ethical, ontological and epistemological relations of knowing and doing health. The volume problematizes the rational, agentic individual as the key driver of health-related action and experience. Contributors move beyond long-held humanist assumptions about health, illness, and well-being and attune – theoretically and methodologically - to the entangled relations or ecologies that instantiate realities. They reimagine how care practices and healthcare experiences mat...
The Routledge Companion to Applied Performance
The Routledge Companion to Applied Performance provides an in-depth, far-reaching and provocative consideration of how scholars and artists negotiate the theoretical, historical and practical politics of applied performance, both in the academy and beyond. These volumes offer insights from within and beyond the sphere of English-speaking scholarship, curated by regional experts in applied performance. The reader will gain an understanding of some of the dominant preoccupations of performance in specified regions, enhanced by contextual framing. From the dis(h)arming of the human body through dance in Colombia to clowning with dementia in Australia, via challenges to violent nationalism in the Balkans, transgender performance in Pakistan and resistance rap in Kashmir, the essays, interviews and scripts are eloquent testimony to the courage and hope of people who believe in the power of art to renew the human spirit. Students, academics, practitioners, policy-makers, cultural anthropologists and activists will benefit from the opportunities to forge new networks and develop in-depth comparative research offered by this bold, global project.

Organs and Organists
The long-awaited sequel to Jenny Setchell's book of pipe organ anecdotes has at last arrived! "Organs and Organists: Their Inside Stories" is a unique glimpse into life behind the scenes of players and their instruments which are the largest in the world. With 416 full colours pages, cartoons by The Press cartoonist Al Nisbet, and over 400 beautiful jaw-dropping photographs, this is the definitive and highly amusing book about the King of Instruments. Divided into several diverse sections, the first introduces, with gorgeous illustrations and great humour, the pipe organ and how it works; the second section has side-splitting yarns by popular English blogger Adrian Marple and his at times chaotic life at the console. Jenny Setchell reveals the horrible and heavenly experiences for international concert organists in the next pages, then organists from around the world add their hilarious or heart-breaking tales. It is a book that will appeal to musicians and non-musicians alike, and is a veritable cornucopia of everything you (n)ever wanted to know about the pipe organ.
Looking Up at Pipe Organs and Ceilings
"Looking Up" is an inspirational photographic collection of 48 pipe organs from around the world, and the often sensational ceilings that soar high above them. Photographer Jenny Setchell has captured a variety of stunning instruments and architecture that work together to give that "wow!" moment familiar to anyone who has walked into a great European Cathedral.
Organ-Isms
Jenny Setchell peeks behind the facades of some of the most famous concert venues and churches around the world to reveal what the life of an organist is really like. Over 120 men and women - from concert artists to Sunday church organists - relate the trials and triumphs of playing what can be the most difficult instrument in the world. Their amazing tales prove that there is nothing 'organised' or standard about the lives they have to lead.

Over 16 chapters written by authors from six ...
