Henrik Gustafsson – författare

Kommunikation och samtal skapar liv, kultur och lärande och fungerar som ett kitt i förskolans och skolans värld. När samtal används långsiktigt och i mer strukturerade former kan de även bidra till förskolors och skolors utveckling. Om detta handlar den här boken, vars huvud­sakliga syfte är att beskriva olika samtalsmodeller som författarna menar kan stärka medarbetarnas professionskunnande och verksamhetens utvecklingsarbete.En genomgång av den nationella och internationella forskningen om skolutveckling visar att samtalet som utvecklingsresurs är ett förhållandevis outforskat område. Här utgör denna bok ett viktigt bidrag. Det är inte någon enkel metodbok. I stället förklaras varje samtals­modell utifrån sin teoretiska utgångspunkt och författarna visar på modellens praktiska användbarhet i förskolans och skolans utvecklingsarbete. I denna andra uppdaterade upplaga har ytterligare en samtalsmodell bifogats som syftar till att ledare och medarbetare tar kontroll över verksamhetens utvecklingsprocess och förbättringsområden. Totalt presenteras tio olika samtalsmodeller.Boken vänder sig till personer med lednings- och utvecklingsuppdrag i förskola och skola. Den kan även fungera som litteratur på rektors­utbildningen samt på lärarutbildningen.

Few phenomena are as formative of our experience of the visual world as displays of suffering. But what does it mean to have an ethical experience of disturbing or traumatizing images? What kind of ethical proposition does an image of pain mobilize? How may the spectator learn from and make use of the painful image as a source of ethical reflection? Engaging with a wide range of visual media--from painting, theatre, and sculpture, to photography, film, and video--this interdisciplinary collection of essays by leading and emerging scholars of visual culture offers a reappraisal of the increasingly complex relationship between images of pain and the ethics of viewing. Ethics and Images of Pain reconsiders the persistent and ever pertinent nexus of aesthetics and ethics, the role of painful images as generators of unpredictable forms of affect, the moral transformation of spectatorship, the ambivalence of the witness and the representation of afflication as a fundamental form of our shared scopic experience. The instructive and illuminating essays in the collection introduce a phenomenological context in which to make sense of our current ecology of excruciating images, one that accentuates notions of responsibility, empathy, and imagination. Contributors trace the images of pain across a miscellany of case studies, and amongst the topics addressed are: the work of artists as disparate as Doris Salcedo, Anselm Kiefer and Bendik Riis; photographs from Abu Ghraib and Rwanda; Hollywood war films and animated documentaries; performances of self-immolations and incidents of police brutality captured on mobile phones.

Athlete Burnout: Recognition, Prevention, and Management provides the first contemporary account of athlete burnout. Drawing on academic literature from both inside and outside of sport, this book focuses on providing the tools necessary to understand and recognise the symptoms of athlete burnout. It also informs practice by providing evidence-based intervention strategies to aid in the prevention and management of athlete burnout.Written in a concise, user-friendly, and accessible format for athletes and coaches, this book provides novel insights for practitioners, students, and academics alike interested in athlete health and sport psychology.

The first book of its kind, Gestures of Seeing in Film, Video and Drawing engages broadly with the often too neglected yet significant questions of gesture in visual culture. In our turbulent mediasphere where images – as lenses bearing on their own circumstances – are constantly mobilized to enact symbolic forms of warfare and where they get entangled in all kinds of cultural conflicts and controversies, a turn to the gestural life of images seems to promise a particularly pertinent avenue of intellectual inquiry. The complex gestures of the artwork remain an under-explored theoretical topos in contemporary visual culture studies. In visual art, the gestural appears to be that which intervenes between form and content, materiality and meaning. But as a conceptual force it also impinges upon the very process of seeing itself. As a critical and heuristic trope, the gestural galvanizes many of the most pertinent areas of inquiry in contemporary debates and scholarship in visual culture and related disciplines: ethics (images and their values and affects), aesthetics (from visual essentialism to transesthetics and synesthesia), ecology (iconoclastic gestures and spaces of conflict), and epistemology (questions of the archive, memory and documentation). Offering fresh perspectives on many of these areas, Gestures of Seeing in Film, Video and Drawing will be intensely awaited by readers from and across several disciplines, such as anthropology, linguistics, performance, theater, film and visual studies.

Cinema and Agamben brings together a group of established scholars of film and visual culture to explore the nexus between the moving image and the influential work of Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben. Including two original texts by Agamben himself, published here for the first time in English translation, these essays facilitate a unique multidisciplinary conversation that fundamentally rethinks the theory and praxis of cinema. In their resourceful analyses of the work of artists such as David Claerbout, Jean-Luc Godard, Philippe Grandrieux, Michael Haneke, Jean Rouch, and others, the authors put to use a range of key concepts from Agamben's rich body of work, like biopolitics, de-creation, gesture, potentiality and profanation. Sustaining the eminently interdisciplinary scope of Agamben's writing, the essays all bespeak the importance of Agamben's thought for forging new beginnings in film theory and for remedying the elegiac proclamations of the death of cinema so characteristic of the current moment.

By way of a thoroughly interdisciplinary approach, Crime Scenery in Postwar Film and Photography brings landscape studies into close dialogue with contemporary theory by paying sustained attention to how the gesture of retracing past events facilitates new configurations of the present and future.

Allt vi gör drivs av vår motivation. Utan motivation och drivkrafter som får oss att röra oss framåt, både bildligt och bokstavligt, tappar vi fart, mening och effektivitet. Den här boken handlar om moti­vation inom träning, hälsa och idrott och behandlar frågor som: Vad är motivation? Hur blir vi motiverade? Hur påverkar olika typer av motivation våra tankar, känslor och beteenden inom träning, hälsa och idrott?Genom att förstå de grundläggande mönstren och principerna bakom människors motivation kan vi också bättre förstå deras beteenden. Insikt i motivation ger kunskap, och kunskap ger i sin tur ökad kontroll och större möjlighet att förutsäga framtida beteende och skapa förutsättningar för förändring och utveckling. Detta är centralt i arbetet för de flesta som jobbar praktiskt med människor inom träning, hälsa och idrott.Boken tar sin utgångspunkt i självbestämmandeteorin (Self-Determination Theory, SDT) som är den motivationsteori som har starkast stöd i forskningen idag. Med en gedigen genomlysning av forsknings­läget och praktiska applikationer av teorin är den här boken en värdefull resurs oavsett om du är forskare, praktiker, student eller bara allmänt intresserad av motivation inom träning, hälsa och idrott.

As the subject of extensive research in visual arts and literature, landscape has been explored as a vehicle to assert national or artistic supremacy, and for how it forms and reflects cultural values and identities. Instead, this study examines landscape as a site where nationhood and representation is contested and interrogated, and how it can be advanced to reflect on the construction and mediation of such values and identities. Considering the New Hollywood cinema in the late 1960s and early a period marked by an impulse for retrospection and self-examination, the study offers new interpretations of a number of key films of the era. Applying landscape as a concept for analysis and interpretation, it also launches attention to what has remained a largely uncharted field of investigation in film studies.
