Abstract

Much has been written on Video, or more precisely magnetic recording and playback, since its encroachment into mainstream consumer pathways in the late 1970s (although its technological basis can be traced back to 1893 with Valdemar Poulsen and the Telegraphon device): Roy Armes with his I On Video i (1988), Sean Cubitt with I Videography: Video Media as Art and Culture i (1993) and then later forays such as James Moran, I There's No Place Like Home Video i (2002) all offer fascinating select accounts of the technology. Rewind, Replay: Britain and the Video Boom, 1978-92: JOHNNY WALKER, 2022, Edinburgh, UK, Edinburgh University Press, pp. xi + 253, illus., £19.99 (paper) Chapter two then moves into further developmental aspects of the British Video "boom" exploring the beginnings of the video shop and its positioning within a larger British economic framework.

2. The Mortal Queen of Faerie Smut: Sarah J. Maas writes massively popular books that mix fantasy lore with soft-core romance--and a whole lot of trauma.

Author

*FANTASY (Psychology), *ART materials
Abstract

Sarah J. Maas is a popular author known for her fantasy novels that combine elements of romance and trauma. Her books, including the "Throne of Glass" and "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series, have sold millions of copies and are frequently discussed on social media platforms. Maas's novels often feature faeries, humans with the potential to become faeries, and themes of authoritarianism and the hero's journey. They also contain explicit sex scenes, which go beyond typical young adult fiction. Maas's work has contributed to the rise of the "romantasy" genre, which blends romance and fantasy elements. Her books prioritize the exploration of trauma and the healing process, making them relatable to readers in today's cultural climate. Despite occasional inconsistencies in world-building, Maas's novels are beloved by fans who appreciate their immersive storytelling and emotional depth. [Extracted from the article]

Hancock, Hank

Subjects

Abstract

Following the chapters on specific art intentions, in the chapter "Transforming the Hospital Experience Through Art", Rollins tackles some of the practical considerations of art acquisition and installation, stakeholder contribution, specific considerations for patient spaces compared to public areas, and methods for evaluating visual art programs. By placing curiosity at the center of the art experience, Rollins is challenging practitioners to think beyond narrow confines of design specifications that often limit art selections and foreclose the viewer's experience of art. Design professionals will find not only new ways to make art useful in healthcare settings, as well as a rich set of examples to consider, they will locate value in the "common thread" of curiosity theory that Rollins identifies throughout.
