Mashing up high art, opera, community activism, and pop culture, Greyson challenges his audience to consider new ways that images can intervene in both political and public spheres. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmerging on the Toronto scene in the late 1970s, Greyson has produced an eclectic, provocative, and award-winning body of work in film and video. The essays in \u003ci\u003eThe Perils of Pedagogy \u003c\/i\u003erange from personal meditations to provocative textual readings to studies of the historical contexts in which the artist's works intervened politically as well as artistically. Notable writers from a range of disciplines as well as prominent experimental and activist filmmakers tackle questions of documentary ethics, moving image activism, and queer coalitional politics raised by Greyson's work. Close to one hundred frame captures and stills from almost sixty works, along with articles, speeches, and short scripts by Greyson - several never before published - supplement the collection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCelebrating thirty years of passionate, brilliant, and affecting moviemaking, \u003ci\u003e The Perils of Pedagogy\u003c\/i\u003e will fascinate both specialists and general readers interested in media activism and advocacy, censorship, and freedom of expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brenda Longfellow,Scott MacKenzie,Thomas Waugh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0773541446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773541443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.40d","brand":"Brenda Longfellow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096713634047,"sku":"9780773541443","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-perils-of-pedagogy-brenda-longfellow-9780773541443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
