A collection of reminiscences, homages, tributes, and work journals tracing the life and work of master playwright-director-teacher Maria Irene Fornes presented in a hypertext fashion. Represented are performers, designers, and producers who have collaborated directly with Fornes on her productions over the years, playwrights who have studied with Fornes and describe writing exercies and master classes, as well as critics and scholars who provide contextual narratives about Fornes impact and influence on generations of American and world theatre. The volume concludes with a interview recently conducted with Fornes herself where she touches on not only the different aspects of her theatrical life but its movement and change over the last forty years.
Psychology and the Conduct of Everyday Life moves psychological theory and research practice out of the laboratory and into the everyday world. Drawing on recent developments across the social and human sciences, it examines how people live as active subjects within the contexts of their everyday lives, using this as an analytical basis for understanding the dilemmas and contradictions people face in contemporary society. Early chapters gather the latest empirical research to explore the significance of context as a cross-disciplinary critical tool; they include a study of homeless Māori men reaffirming their cultural identity via gardening, and a look at how the dilemmas faced by children in difficult situations can provide insights into social conflict at school. Later chapters examine the interplay between everyday life around the world and contemporary global phenomena such as the rise of the debt economy, the hegemony of the labor market, and the increased reliance on digital technology in educational settings. The book concludes with a consideration of how social psychology can deepen our understanding of how we conduct our lives, and offer possibilities for collective work on the resolution of social conflict.
