‎The Fictional Arts : An Inter-Art Journey from Theatre Theory to the Arts‎

‎Brighton and Portland: Sussex Academic Press 2011. Book. New. Cloth. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. This book is a comprehensive introduction to the analysis of fictional worlds in a set of fifteen arts including theatre opera figurative ballet mime audio drama figurative drawing/painting figurative sculpture strip cartoon animation puppet theatre still photography photo-novel silent movie cinema and TV drama. Due to their extreme differences the combination of different arts in the description of a single fictional world and the translation from one medium to another are considered problematic. While such differences do not concern fictional creativity which applies the same poetic and rhetoric rules whatever the medium it is widely accepted that the problem lies in the extreme differences between the mediums of description. In contrast this study explores their common grounds. These arts are iconic in nature and if 'iconicity' is re-defined in terms of imprinting images on matter and mediation of language and as reflecting the common roots of these mediums in a preverbal mode of imagistic thinking therein is an explanation of their possible combination and translation from one medium to another without impairing the receivers' reading interpreting and experiencing capacities. Eli Rozik analyses numerous fictional worlds in all these arts produced during the last 2500 years of artistic creativity especially in theatre art and cinema. This book presupposes that principles underlying the generation of descriptions of fictional worlds by the theatre medium as proposed in two earlier works Generating Theatre Meaning and Fictional Thinking also apply to all the iconic/fictional arts. The text-book format of the volume has been purposefully designed to address the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students suiting the structure of university courses and providing all necessary information to access the images/artistic works discussed in the volume via the web and Google. This inter-art journey from theatre theory to the arts is compelling reading for all those involved and engaged in artistic creativity. 299pp. Sussex Academic Press Hardcover‎

‎Fictional Thinking: A Poetics and Rhetoric of Fictional Creativity in Theatre‎

‎Brighton and Portland: Sussex Academic Press 2009. Book. New. Cloth/Laminated Boards. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. This book offers a theory of the archaic mode of fictional thinking and a methodology for the analysis of fictional worlds. It presupposes the mutual independence of the description of a fictional world in any language or medium and the described fictional world. Such a world is generated by an autonomous fictional structure which reflects the spontaneous expectations of the spectator and thematic specification. A model of this structure is presented comprising seven layers: personified mythical praxical naive ironic and aesthetic - and overriding these layers the fictional experience on the level of relationship between the fictional world and spectator. This experience depends on the spectator's ability to complement such a description with pertinent associations drawn from shared cultural resources and psychical mechanisms of response. Explanations and examples are couched in poetic pragmatic aesthetic and rhetoric methodologies. An Introduction surveys the major contributions made to a methodology of fictional analysis since Aristotle's Poetics problematises them and suggests possible alternatives. Part I is devoted to the inner structure of fictional worlds; i.e. to the poetic rules that generate them. The innovation of this approach lies in its multi-layered nature. Part II deals with the structure of the fictional experience which is metaphoric and rhetoric in nature. Part III deals with the specific structures of fictional worlds that reflect the particular intentions and purposes of their authors. Part IV contains analyses of actual fictional worlds that illustrate the application of the previously presented principles. The focus throughout is on theatre fictional worlds which by their nature exhibit the most complex fictional thoughts that the human brain can generate. The theoretical insights gained for theatre assumedly apply to descriptions of such worlds in any language or medium. More than a hundred fictional worlds created during 2500 years of theatre recorded history are analysed. The volume has been purposefully designed to address undergraduate and postgraduate student needs to provide a fundamental competence of theatre studies. 323pp. Sussex Academic Press Hardcover‎

‎Viktor Schreckengost : American Da Vinci‎

‎Connecticut: Tide Mark Press 2006. Book. Like New. Paperback. First Edition. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. This survey of the work of Viktor Schreckengost - an artistic inventor an American DaVinci - marks the centenary of his birth. A key figure in the first era of modern design and one of its last living leaders Schreckengost's paintings sculpture pottery and industrial designs are now being exhibited at more than 100 museums around the United States. Throughout his long working career Schreckengost strove to apply a creative philosophy that linked artistically dramatic form with an object's function. The result was design that was nearly always remarkable and very often revolutionary. He created the first cab-over-engine truck the first modern mass-produced dinnerware and the first economical pedal-cars for children.He designed stage sets and costumers flashlights printing presses riding lawn mowers electric fans and bicycles. At the same time his work in the fine arts flourished. He won awards for paintings and ceramic sculpture placed pieces in museums and won commissions for new sculptures. Somehow he also found time to establish the Industrial Design Department at the Cleveland Institute of Art the first program of its kind in the U.S. where he helped teach a new generation of designers. This study of the life and work of Viktor Schreckengost includes more than 250 images of his art and design with an extensive text by historian Henry Adams. From the ceramic Jazz Bowl to the high speed sixteen colour printing press designed for R.R. Donnelly Schreckengost demonstrated style and innovation that have influenced the shapes of things Americans have used for more than two generations. 213pp. Tide Mark Press Paperback‎

‎The Synchronic Fallacy: Historic Investigations With a Theory of History‎

‎Denmark: Odense University Press 2001. Book. New. Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. The Synchronic Fallacy introduces a postmodern attitude into the science of language. In accordance with its own Critico-Philological Method the essay is a constructive critique of the transcendent foundationalism of modern synchronic linguistics. Without falling into nihilistic pitfalls of the postmodern mind's antifoundationalism the author demonstrates both how the static essentialism of modern linguistics turns out to be a transcendent metaphysical statement of only a section of the everyday language and how the synchronicity of modern linguistics cannot deliver on its promises to produce empirically relevant and non-shortening descriptions of the dynamic existence of the everyday language. Rehabilitating the Erkenntnisswert of the non-transcendent use of the everyday language - a project with Glossematic 'Hermeneutical' and 'Deconstructivist' overtones - the Synchronic Fallacy presents an argument against the modern synchronization of historical linguistics and demonstrates the possibility of constructing a historical theory through the introduction of the Existential Function of the everyday language as an implementation of man's temporally structured mind our historical sense. The essay's critical analyses of the four conceptual pillars of modern static linguistics -system structure state synchrony - evolve a determination of the temporal-dynamic nature of structure/Structuralism so that the essay's view of our tradition's purported antinomy: 'structure and history' dovetails with the advanced view of language: language change is not to be seen or observed but comprehended.

‎Dreamers and Visionaries: Adelaide's Little Theatres - 1920's to the Early 1940s‎

‎Sydney: Currency Press 2004. Book. New. Paperback. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. From the 1920s to the 1940s there was a diverse flowering of amateur theatres in Adelaide which were experimental creatively inventive and ahead of their times. Other Australian capital cities had their own Little Theatres during this period but some of the Adelaide theatres were unique in anticipating later creative theatre movements including overseas ones. These Little Theatres helped to form the basis of Adelaide's reputation as 'the city of culture' and also laid the groundwork for the later development of the Adelaide Festival of Arts. Certainly the subsequent landscapes of the Australian theatre scene would have been very different without Adelaide's Little Theatres of the 1920s to 1940s. 240pp. Currency Press Paperback‎
