Book Description
Text in English and German. Peter Basseler, who lives in Berlin and Chicago, stands alone in the contemporary art landscape. The small-scale showcases, produced by a time-consuming process (sometimes taking over a year) since 1970, cannot be allotted to any particular trend. They have nothing in common with the Modern movement's object cases, they are not assembled from found items, not 'ready made', but have their roots in pre-Modernism -- if anywhere. There is nothing prefabricated in Basseler's showcases: everything has to be designed and made for a particular scenario, right down to the smallest detail. The thumb-high figures' gestures and facial expressions are central to the effect of the scene as a whole, and fascinating in their psychological refinement and their craftsmanship. The dioramas are modern fairy tales from a world that hovers between reality and fiction, beyond all places, times and norms. Sober observation of reality are refracted through visionary imaginative images, each one sliding into the next. Every scene is a moment that persists and is stretched to last within such a fusion process. Basseler's work is outstanding in its unusually rich intensity, which has a magnetic effect on many observers and brings higher-than-average numbers of visitors to Basseler's exhibitions. Basseler has been awarded major art prizes. In 1984 he got a scholarship to the Deutsche Akademie Villa Massimo in Rome. In 1987 he won the Lower-Saxony Art Scholarship.

Inter- and Transcultural Learning in the Context of Canadian Young Adult Fiction
Author: Grit Alter
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643906757
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
Within the past few years transcultural learning has become one of the key terms in TEFL theory. Central concerns in current research include differentiating between inter- and transcultural learning, navigating processes of understanding otherness, and assessing cultural competences. Using these aspects this study investigates texts recommended for cultural learning and key components of implementing literature in ELT. The results call for a more holistic perception of alterity and argue in favour of transcultural literature as a basis for transcultural learning. All of this dissertation is in English.
