The end of the Cold War has brought about significant changes in the international and national security environments that present tremendous implications for the U.S. military. The strategic threat of global nuclear war has diminished considerably. While that threat is diminished, a new threat is emerging. Ballistic missile proliferation and related weapons of mass destruction are one of the major threats to stability in the new security environment. Ballistic missile systems are seen as destabilizing weapons that are a threat to regional peace and American vital interests in certain regions. This thesis addresses the possible need to for theater ballistic defenses in the U.S. Navy as one element of a national strategy to defeat ballistic missile missiles in future regional conflicts. Specifically, it addresses the naval role for ballistic missile defenses, including the analysis of the present and future threat, an examination of how the missile defense dovetail into the national security strategy of regional contingencies, and the means by which the defenses can be employed. The issue of the threat involves demonstrating that a threat exists and that technological improvements in the future will increase their utility and put more targets, including Navy ships, at risk. The issue of the role that defenses will fill in the national security strategy deals with their contributions to the fundamental pillars of that strategy. The issue of naval roles addresses the missions and tasks that a sea-based system can provide across the spectrum of naval warfare. The means which the defense can be employed is addressed to demonstrate how the U.S. Navy can be a major contributor under the Aegis construct.

Abstract:
This study has attempted to show that the plays of La Chaussée, which were popular in France in the middle to lat eighteenth century, were popular because they appealed to social values of the period, and particularly because they expressed a conservative view of society and of the role of women in that society. The introduction sets forth the historical and biographical background of La Chaussée, the extent of the success achieved by his "comédies larmoyantes" in performance and in publication during the eighteenth century, and the reasons for selecting the five plays on which this study concentrates. The focus on, female characters is explained by the number of plays "about" women: Mélanide, La Gouvernante, L'Ecole des méres and by the tendency in literary criticism to consider eighteenth-century French tastes in theatre dictated by women. Chapter I presents a content analysis of the five plays. This technique, taken from Goodlad, A Sociology of Popular Drama, provides plot summaries of these now unfamiliar plays which are used as a basis for chapter II. Furthermore it permits determination and comparison of these themes, settings, areas of conflict explored and types of resolution offered in the plays under examination. La Chaussée most frequently presents the problems of marital and familial love, and resolves conflicts with reconciliation, marriage, or another form of social integration. Goodlad brings out the relationship between popular success and a play's at least implicit didacticism and its conservatism in form and content. Chapter II uses narratological analysis techniques from Bremond, Logique du récit. The plays are considered as texts. The purpose here is to bring to light the structure of plot: how resolution in delayed or achieved, what roles -- victim, beneficiary, assistant, frustrator -- female character play in that structure. Heroines are found to be passive victims, beneficiaries, or even frustrators. Secondary female characters play minor assistant roles, or act as frustrators for the heroines. Resolution is achieved by male characters. Chapter III turns to discourse, how much and what is said about the female sex and/or by female characters. It examines the quantity, content and situation of female discourse in these plays, and particularly the social and situational restraints on discourse. A female character usually only has one scene with male characters in which she speaks half or more of the total lines, unless she is alone with someone over whom she has affective influence, and not her husband. Maids are used to express generalizations about the situation of women in society, and sympathy for the heroine. The discourse of heroines centres on the standards of virtue to which society holds them: patience, endurance, chastity, obedience. In the conclusion, critical judgments on La Chaussée from the eighteenth century to the present are reviewed and examined. Doubt is cast on the extent to which La Chaussée should be seen as promoting theatrical or social reform, and increased emphasis in placed on the nature of his didacticism, and the pervasiveness of his conservatism.

The U.S. military has never been able to prevent theater missiles (TMs) from being launched at U.S. and Allied or Coalition forces and citizens. Post-war analysis of interdiction efforts during World War II and the Persian Gulf War could not identify a single instance where either a German V weapon or an Iraqi SCUD missile was destroyed before launch. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the best estimate that the Air Force could provide the National Command Authority was that ninety percent of the Soviet missiles in Cuba would be destroyed by an airstrike. To correct this deficiency, the military developed joint theater missile defense (JTMD) doctrine. This doctrine attempts to integrate synergistically all U.S. military assets and capabilities. However, this doctrine does not fully integrate Special Operations Forces (SOF) into attack operations against TMs. Additionally, the joint tactics, techniques, and procedures (JTTPs) needed to implement this doctrine have not been developed. The integration of SOF's capability to conduct pre-strike and post-strike reconnaissance, critical material recovery operations and target acquisition tasks can immediately improve JTMD capabilities.

Full text
Abstract:
In English Canadian theatre, there exists a significant divide between established works produced in the mainstream and new work that has traditionally been relegated to the margins of institutional practice. Seeking to bridge this divide are a number of festivals committed to fostering and showcasing plays by Canadian theatre artists and companies and to attracting presenters interested in programming new works for future seasons. In order to succeed in the festival circuit, independent companies must, to a certain extent, cater to the expectations of organizations that value performance that gives the impression of being novel and yet proves accessible to festival audiences and to those targeted by presenters. This plays a role in aesthetics that become characteristic of the companies' work. These aesthetics are not only accepted, but also exploited by festivals that are seeking to legitimize the notion of 'newness', in part, for the purpose of their own sustainability.

Abstract:

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience impairment in social cognition, which contributes to a variety of challenges for individuals with ASD, including elevated risks of loneliness, depression and anxiety. For this reason, various interventions have been developed to improve social ability in ASD populations. However, many existing interventions lack strong research support, or are inaccessible to many individuals with ASD due to high financial cost. Therefore, a need exists for affordable, effective psychosocial interventions for ASD that are widely accessible. One potential intervention is improvisational theater training (improv). Improv training for youth and young adults with ASD is already provided at multiple theaters across the US, and the current study collected information on one such program, measuring change in participant ratings of social ability, depression, anxiety, loneliness, and growth mindset as a result of participation. Participants reported a significant reduction in their perceptions of nervousness and being left out after completing the improv theater training, suggesting that improv theater decreases nervousness and feelings of exclusion among individuals with ASD. Participants also reported a significant increase in their perception of lacking companionship, suggesting that improv theater increases participant desire for companionship among individuals with ASD. Reliable Change Index analysis suggests that younger participants, male participants, and participants with greater social impairment were more likely to evidence reliable change as a result of improv theater training. Finally, positive correlations were found between social impairment and ratings of depression and loneliness and negative correlations were found between growth mindset and ratings of depression and loneliness. These findings provide preliminary evidence that suggests improvisational theater may be an effective intervention for reducing anxiety and nervousness among individuals with ASD.

The experimentation with an alternative form of theater, which questioned the tradition dramatic heritage , emerged in Puerto Rico during the second half of the 1960's. This new form of theater, known as Experimental Theater, searched for a new aesthetic language rooted in the use of the human body as an instrument of expression. At the same time, the companies and groups - composed mostly of college students - working with this kind of theater had a well-defined social, cultural and political agenda, which was clearly reflected in the nature of their performances. The tradition of the Puerto Rican Experimental Theater has survived until today. It has experienced a change in its social and political approaches, which now are focused in the reinforcement of the Puerto Rican culture and the searching for the definition of a contemporary national identity . This idea of contemporary national identity presumes the breaking with the traditional system of dramatic representation used in the classical theater as well as in the early models of theatrical experimentation. New groups work with new codes of national representation detached from convention al cannon, creating a vibrant and contested imagery. In this line of work, the Puerto Rican group Teatreros de Cayey, directed by the theater professor Rosa Luisa Marquez and the Puerto Rican artist Antonio Martorell present a paradigm in and of themselves. Marquez and Martorell propose a work based on a theatrical dialogue between dramatic text and pictorial image. At the same time their work has focused on its interaction with low income communities as well as with school and elderly hospitals and institutions. Their work is based in the assumption that people don't have to be actors to make theater and that theater can be used as a community tool in order to produce social transformations.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between performance poetry and page-based poetry and the academic and non-specialist audience for performance poetry in the UK. Performance poetry in the UK is rapidly becoming a popular medium for experiencing poetry and I analyse the impact this has, and will have, in relation to the study of poetics, and the reading of poetry within the public sphere. I have identified three primary areas of research. First, I analyse the reception of performance poetry in the academy. Second, I assess the mechanisms of affect transmission in performance. Finally I interrogate the utilization of space through performance which contributes to the production of social spaces. Alongside an exploration of how these factors construct a different affective experience for the reader I analyse the critical position performance poetry holds in relation to the wider body of poetics. Performance poetry has been relatively absent from critical study of poetry and the formation of a poetic canon in the UK. I contend that there has traditionally been an opposition to performance poetry in the academy, defined along the lines of a ‘high’ and ‘low’ art binary. This is a contention I analyse with focus on the development of UK poetics in the mid-20th century. By assessing the value discourses inherent to an academic appraisal of spoken word I stage a discussion of the pedagogical potential of performance poetry. Combining both the affective capacities of performance and the role performance plays in renegotiating our experiences of social and shared spaces, I argue performance is an important tool for structuring a re-engagement with contemporary poetry. Tracing the potential pedagogical implications of performance poetry through each of these aspects brings the thesis to a conclusion regarding the value of contemporary UK performance poetry and the important pedagogical role it plays. Underpinning my analysis, I conduct interviews with various prominent UK performance poets in order to construct an accurate account of the contemporary performance poetry scene, and to facilitate predictions regarding its future development.

Abstract:

This research looks at the production of Hamlet by Thomas Ostermeier, the director of the Schaubühne Berlin. The production presents two female characters with a single female performer, and persents the concept that coporeality is an impossible exteriority. This research uses the playscript of Ostermeier's production of Hamlet as reference, and Judith Butler's book Bodies that Matter for its theoretical method, as well as contemporary critics of feminist study on the gendered body, to interpret the role of female characters in Ostermeier's production of Hamlet. The focus will clarify how Ostermeier cultivates Butler's theory of body performativity as the source for portraying his understanding of the female identity, and as the decoder for the conventional sexgender culture. The research shows how Ostermeier's presentation of Gertrude and Ophelia reflects the contemporary concern for the deconstruction of the normative concept of woman.

Esta pesquisa tem por objeto de estudo a intervenção teatral como forma de intervenção social que busque reconhecer formas de resistência social de grupos sociais em situação de subalternidade para valorizá-las, recuperando uma discussão já iniciada no Serviço Social. O objeto empírico tratado é um conjunto de intervenções teatrais realizadas na localidade de Caieiras Velhas, município de Aracruz, ES, entre 2006 e 2011 pelo Teatro do Oprimido, com a participação do autor deste estudo. Na introdução se justifica a utilização da imagem mitológica da Fênix para caracterizar a resistência social do povo indígena Tupiniquim, moradores tradicionais daquele território. Inicialmente se apresenta uma breve reflexão teórica sobre subalternidade a partir dos trabalhos de James Scott, Gayatry C. Spivak e Antônio Gramsci. Para subsidiar a discussão da metodologia da pesquisa se apresenta um panorama da metodologia do Teatro do Oprimido, entrecruzando as cinco categorias dos jogos e exercícios deste método com as categorias teóricas adotadas para definir os sujeitos, o lugar e as pertenças dos subalternos em Caieiras Velhas. A primeira categoria teórica é a de identidade, construída a partir das discussões de Manuela Carneiro da Cunha, Manuel Castells, Stuart Hall e Zygmunt Bauman. A segunda é lugar/territorialidade, e seu pressuposto —território—, compreendida a partir de Yi Fu Tuan, Milton Santos, Rogério Haesbaert e Claude Raffestin. A terceira categoria teórica é resistência social, baseada na concepção de James Scott. A quarta categoria é memória/experiência a partir de Ecléa Bosi, Carlos Rodrigues Brandão e Walter Benjamin. A estruturação do texto parte de uma breve descrição dos moradores da aldeia Tupiniquim Caieiras Velhas. A tematização do estudo foi extraída das intervenções realizadas pelo Teatro do Oprimido naquele território. Com a contribuição da Antropologia se caracteriza o teatro do poder que se deseja conhecer e discutir, situando a metodologia do Teatro do Oprimido neste contexto. Este trabalho tem ênfase nas mulheres do território, com o objetivo de aprofundar o conhecimento das suas atuais formas de resistência à dominação.
This dissertation s focus is the theater interventions as a mean to recognize the forms, contents and importance of social resistance of subaltern groups, a perspective already tried by the Social Work area in the past. The experience under discussion is a set of workshops undertook by the Theater of the Oppressed at the village of Caieiras Velhas, Aracruz County, Espírito Santo Estate, Brazil, between 2006 and 2011, with the participation of the author. This work begins with the suggestion of the Phoenix Myth as a symbolic representation of the social resistance of the Tupiniquim People, natives of that territory. The theoretical appropriations start with considerations about subalternity based on the works of James Scott, Gayatry C. Spivak and Antônio Gramsci. The methodological aspects of the research are described and discussed in the lights of the Theater of the Oppressed methodology, cross relating its five stages of exercises and games with the adopted theoretical concepts, to describe the subjects, their place and their cultural sense of belonging at Caieiras Velhas. The first theoretical category adopted is identity, approached through the works of Manuela Carneiro da Cunha, Manuel Castells, Stuart Hall and Zygmunt Bauman. The second one is place/territoriality, and therefore – territory – based on the discussions of Yi Fu Tuan, Milton Santos, Rogério Haesbaert and Claude Raffestin. The third and last theoretical category is social resistance, with focus on James Scott s conceptions. The fourth category is memory/experience from Ecléa Bosi, Carlos Rodrigues Brandão and Walter Benjamin. The structure of the text begins with a description of the Tupiniquins within their own territory. The themes that organize the next chapters were extracted from the workshops of the Theater of the Oppressed occurred in Caieiras Velhas. From an anthropological point of view, this work discusses the theater of power in the village by using the methodology of the Theatre of the Oppressed. This work has emphasis on women s territory, in order to deepen their knowledge of current forms of resistance to domination.

By analyzing the narrated experiences of Kenyan theaterpractitioners work through the theoretical perspectives presented by Homi K. Bhabha and John Paul Lederach this paper then argues that theater can create an elicitive Third Space where the passive spectators in the audience can be turned into empathetic, conscientized spect-actors and where conflicting communication can occur without violence. It then goes on to theorize on how the explanation to the differences exists in what the performance need to achieve in the elicitive Third space.

Full text
Abstract:
Taking as a case study the Theatre-Italien, here considered both as a particular theatrical practice and as a specific stage in Paris---one of the most popular at the time---this dissertation asks what role this theatre played in the novel competition of discourses which characterized political culture in the era of Revolutions. All too often, historians have overestimated print culture as the main medium through which discourses were produced in the eighteenth century, and this despite the fact that theatre played a fundamental role in the public life of this period. Furthermore, when theatre is studied, historians emphasize too often the written form of the plays.
The dissertation's structure seeks to underline the specificity of the cultural practice represented by the theatre. The discrepancies between the meaning of a play written by a particular author and the same play as it is performed on stage are emphasized. Political messages emerge out of the language of the actors and actresses without any possibility to control them, so that the players become, in effect, co-authors of the play. Similarly, the variety of the nature of the audience and the way in which it becomes at once judge, co-author and co-actor make the public, neither intangible nor invisible, but simply gathered, a crucial feature of this cultural practice which allows us to argue that theatre was actually a very bad instrument of propaganda. Instead, theatre can be seen at the time to be a public scene of immediate political debate. The conflicting opinions expressed there turn theatre not into the minor of political reality intended by various regimes confronted to the diversity of the polity---what some people have called "a school for the people"---but rather as the mirror of the reality experienced by a large number of Parisians at the time. It is in this sense that we relate the theatrical practices studied with the concept of public spirit, expressing the people's understanding of the general interest, instead of that of public opinion, expressing the unified message imposed by a dominant political group.

Wilson, James Andrew. "Performance after collaboration : authorship in the social turn." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2013. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/62881/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis critically examines recent trends in authorship for theatre and performance. In the avant-garde performance of the 1960s and 70s, collaborative creation was often employed as a radical rejection of authorship. As such techniques have become more ubiquitous, not just in experimental theatre but in the mainstream, across art forms, and in the performative culture of the ‘network society,’ the social contours of collaborative processes have become more complex, to the point that ‘collaboration’ can no longer describe these practices. Further, socially-engaged practices often defy boundaries between established art forms and disciplines. I theorise an emergent model of ‘social authorship’ to understand how authors stage the social nature of their creative processes, and trace the socio-aesthetic implications of this trend across wide-ranging case studies that exemplify new hybrid approaches: the new pathways between aesthetic theatre and social practice that emerge from The Mill - City of Dreams, a Bradford-based community theatre project; the meeting of social movement and art project in the NAMES Project AIDS Quilt; the open-sourced and dispersed model of mass co-authorship in PARK(ing) Day; the invitation to co-authorship in playwright Charles Mee’s ‘(re)making project’; and even a brand of social authorship that results in a solo performance, from my own practice as playwright and devising performer. What emerges is that as the aesthetic performs the social and the social rewrites the aesthetic, neither can be thought of independently of the other. Further, meaningful social engagement and the potential for social change are not always where they appear to be. This thesis provides a framework for analysing and evaluating the social aesthetics of these socially authored performances.

The final chapter looks at Peter Schumann, a German puppeteer and artist who lives in America. In Germanistik, German puppet theater deserves a devoted place in the field of legitimate study in terms of its history, content and influence. Puppet theater's historical development in Germany represents the larger evolution of Germany. From ancient times up to the present day, this artistic form of representation has enjoyed an audience in the German-speaking regions. The evolution of puppet theater parallels Germany's quest for legitimacy as a nation and desire for cultural unification. A study of puppet theater thematizes the issue of popular cultural history. For most of its existence in Germany, puppet theater served as popular entertainment. The conception of folk art and folklore - which includes puppet theater - by the German Romantics led them to believe that folk artists possessed a mysterious authenticity inaccessible to Classicists and their narrowly-defined world of high art. Much German literature and thought from the 19th century onward shows a fondness for the Volk aspect of puppet theater. Puppet theater and its reception in German Romanticism helped to shape literary and philosophical themes that would lead to further recognition of puppetry as an art form and an integral aspect of German culture. In the 20th century, puppet theater took on bold new forms. Adapting to film, television, academia and the avant-garde, respected proponents of puppet theater brought the art form into the light of day. No longer did it merely consist of vulgar or mildly artistic street performances or as a vehicle for Romantic-era nostalgia. German puppet theater in the 20th century moved into the realm of mass culture with film and, more effectively, with television. It also gained footing in academia, eventually becoming a fully-recognized field of study as well as a performance medium with infinite possibilities. One can only hazard a guess as to where puppet theater will go in the future. The ability of the art form to uncannily reflect the human condition is well known. How the human condition will change and how the performers of puppet theater will respond remains to be seen.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis critically interrogates the practice of artistic directors within applied theatre companies in the United Kingdom. ‘Applied theatre’ describes the process of theatre-making in which commitment to ethical, pedagogical, philosophical and social priorities are integral dimensions of theatre-making designed for specified participants, communities and locations. The research views the term director as encompassing any individuals with designated responsibility for the artistic coherence of theatre in both community and rehearsal room contexts. It argues that directorial processes in applied theatre have rarely been the focus of systematic research and that a theoretical framework to conceptualise practise will contribute new knowledge. The research design gathers evidence of directorial contributions, examining ‘why’ and ‘how’ interventions are constructed. The various theories, techniques and methods used by directors to shape and effect positive interventions are observed and interrogated, through a systematic research approach, in five director case studies. The case studies reflect discrete areas of theatre practice. Published research is sparse and literary evidence is occasionally drawn from historical, cultural and mainstream theatre contexts, from developments in Alternative and Political theatre and from Drama in Education praxis. The thesis concludes with a theoretical framework that articulates applied theatre directing as a process that shares some common ground with mainstream theatre directing, but which retains discrete alternative practices and philosophies that define an alternative directorial model.

Abstract:
The degradation of the ecological and social systems has largely resulted from human activities that deplete natural resources and undermine human needs in society. Traditional business culture, driven mainly by profit maximization, is a factor that has worsened this sustainability challenge. Social enterprises (SEs) are a form of business that hold the potential to help make the transition towards a sustainable society. The purpose of this study is two-fold. First, it explores SE contributions to creating a sustainable social system. Second, it examines how SEs exhibit the dimensions of trustworthiness, leading to trusting relationships in society. Social sustainability principles (SSPs) define social sustainability and are drawn from the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development. They are used as a foundation for identifying SE contributions. The researchers draw on experiences from social entrepreneurs and experts in the field of social entrepreneurship. SEs contribute at two levels: the individual level and the societal level. They break down barriers to the SSPs and provide opportunities to individuals with respect to the five principles. SEs operate based on a culture of impartiality and create opportunities for meaning for individuals in their target groups. They consistently take leaps of faith, believing in the trustworthiness of those who are otherwise deemed untrustworthy.

Esta dissertação trata de um estudo de caso envolvendo a condução e análise de oficinas de teatro produzidas e ministradas pela pesquisadora com um grupo de teatro de uma comunidade socialmente vulnerável na área do parque de Pituaçu em Salvador, Bahia, a companhia teatral Na Boca de Cena. Procurou-se compreender os potenciais emancipatórios do método de investigação, como processo de conscientização e aprimoramento da linguagem teatral do grupo pela via da Educação Não Formal. O trabalho é vinculado à linha de pesquisa de Processos Educacionais em Artes Cênicas, fundamentado em pedagogias críticas e dialógicas como a Peça didática de Brecht, a Poética do oprimido de Boal e a obra do educador Paulo Freire. Foi também abordado o Teatro em Comunidades, eixo específico do campo da Pedagogia do Teatro. Na prática de campo foram utilizados jogos, improvisações e debates para o aprofundamento em questões sociais da comunidade. Concluiu-se que a metodologia empregada, além de ser de extrema utilidade em um teatro que vise estimular o desenvolvimento do artista de comunidades menos favorecidas, permite a provocação de problematizações políticas e sociais por meio do teatro como ferramenta popular para a discussão social coletiva.
This dissertation is about a study of case which deals with the performance and analyses of theater workshops produced and conducted by the researcher with a theater group of a socially vulnerable community in the area of Pituaçu Park in Salvador, Bahia state, named Na Boca de Cena. The goal was trying to understand the emancipatory potentials of the investigation method as a process of consciousness and improvement of the group via nonformal education. The work is linked to the line of research of Educational Processes in Performing Arts and based upon dialogical and critical pedagogies like the Learning play of Brecht, the Poetics of the oppressed of Boal and the work of the educator Paulo Freire. It was also addressed the Theater in Communities, an specific axis of study in the field of Pedagogy of Theater. In the field practice, games improvisations and debates were utilized to deepen the social issues of the community. It was concluded that the methodology employed, besides being extremelly useful in a theater method which aims to stimulate the development of the artist in underprivileged communities, allowing the raising up of political and social problematizations through theater as a tool used by the people to debate social and collective issues.

Full text
Abstract:
The demimondaine, an exclusive courtesan in nineteenth-century Europe, and the modern mezzo-soprano protagonist are prevalent characters in American musical theatre and can be observed in various styles throughout European music and drama. In Arthur Schnitzler s The Little Comedy, the female protagonist is both a romantic heroine and mistress; and in Jules Renard s Le Pain de Ménage, the lead player is anything but the classic ingénue. In preparation for performance and to further the research in the contemporary music comedy realm, I prepared for the roles of Josefine and Monica in the University of Central Florida s production of Barry Harman and Keith Herrmann s Romance, Romance through in-depth analysis on the performance development process of two distinct female protagonist characters. I first researched the historical world of the demimonde: identifying key characteristics of these famed courtesans and their fashionable emergence as tart with a heart characters in nineteenth-century dramatic works. Second, I traced the evolution of the fallen woman archetypal character and the mezzo-soprano from European grand opera and realism to contemporary musical theatre. This research better defined my character type and therefore assisted in performance preparation. Third, Act I s The Little Comedy is a period piece set in nineteenth-century Vienna, and Harman s and Herrmann s adaptation reflect the musical and social aspects of the time. Through historical research on operetta style and the creators perspectives, I more fully developed my understanding and performance interpretation in Romance, Romance. Finally, I evaluated my characterization process with a discussion of the practical implementation of research on the musical performance process. This thesis document adds to the wealth of pre-existing musical theatre character analysis and discusses key components associated with the development of the modern female protagonist. Identifying the evolution of the tart with a heart stock character from its European origins to its current Broadway prominence, this manuscript advances the academic field with the illumination of the demimonde in American musical theatre. Last, for the purpose of developing believable and realistic characters for musical performance, this document analyzes and evaluates the research methods used to inform the rehearsal process when developing two female protagonist characters in contemporary musical theatre.

Turner, Rachael Lucy. "Myth, biography and the female role in the plays of Pam Gems." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2000. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/3062/.

Full text
Abstract:
In this study, I give some attention to the themes and strategies occurring throughout Pam Gems’s career as a female playwright. However, my main interest lies in five of Gems’s plays that feature historical and mythical female figures: Queen Christina (1977), Piaf (1978), Camille (1984), Marlene (1997) and The Snow Palace (1998). My objective is not to ascertain whether or not the plays I consider capture on accurate image of female myth in history, nor even to determine whether or not there exists an accurate image of the female role in literary history. I am far more interested in the ideological uses of myth and more particularly biography, as a form of myth in relation to gender. Such an interest rests upon the understanding that the reconstruction of a life can never be detached from the source of that reconstruction; in other words, the lenses which filter the telling of a life story become at least as important as the narrative itself. Moreover, as further biographies (lenses) are written on the same subject over time, it is possible to detect a gradual reconstitution of that subject to ultimately generate a pluralist evaluation - where truth and myth are flawlessly fused. It is my aim to analyse the variety of lenses and interpretations which have filtered the lives of Gems’s female protagonists with a view to discovering the contribution Gems makes in her personal and feminist reassessment of their biographical narratives. In the beginning the thesis attempts to unite biographical theory with feminist theory and use this as a framework for investigating Gems’s work. After close examination of the aforementioned plays, the thesis concludes with the assertion that Gems strongly embraces the concept of female plurality as opposed to a restrictive ‘feminist’ label in here revisionary recreation of the female role.

Full text
Abstract:
The following is a historical analysis on the Moscow Art Theatre’s (MAT) tours to the United States in 1923 and 1924, and the developments and changes that occurred in Russian and American theatre cultures as a result of those visits. Konstantin Stanislavsky, the MAT’s co-founder and director, developed the System as a new tool used to help train actors—it provided techniques employed to develop their craft and get into character. This would drastically change modern acting in Russia, the United States and throughout the world. The MAT’s first (January 2, 1923 – June 7, 1923) and second (November 23, 1923 – May 24, 1924) tours provided a vehicle for the transmission of the System. In addition, the tour itself impacted the culture of the countries involved. Thus far, the implications of the 1923 and 1924 tours have been ignored by the historians, and have mostly been briefly discussed by the theatre professionals. This thesis fills the gap in historical knowledge.

Abstract:
Both in and out of the classroom, critically discussing and exploring the issues of gender, race, power, equality, and social justice can be a social and emotional minefield for educators and students alike. In politically charged times, escaping pre-formulated reactions and creating real change and empathy can seem a nearly impossible task. Some educators have turned to the visual and creative arts to provide students with emotional connectedness, visceral responses, and modes of self-expression. In this study, I examine two education programs to understand the effectiveness of social justice pedagogical methods using phenomenological research. My focus is on the educators' experiences, influences, and personal pedagogies. I plan to highlight three successful programs to better understand how complex and emotional issues can be better explored through art and visual culture and how other educators can adapt these methods to their own classrooms.

Full text
Abstract:
Starting from the premise that symbols are among the most reliable and efficient representatives of a society and that, Minoan society in particular, appears as overly dependent on symbols and their ritual use for the operation of its socio-political structure, this thesis will examine the social role of six of its most emblematic symbols: the double axe, the horns of consecration, the figure-of-eight shield, the sacred knot, the triton and the shell. Based on a large amount of data and recognizing the enormous value of contextual analysis, the social role of the symbols is illustrated through the comparison of patterns of use from a number of sites in North Central and East Crete. The selection of North Central Crete and East Crete is justified by the diversity of socio-political factors offered by the two areas: North Central Crete was a geographically unified area, where the Palace Knossos, the largest and most complex palace of Minoan Crete was built, while East Crete was a geographically fragmented area with relatively isolated settlements, which developed different degrees of palatial complexity. The variation in the responses to the emergence of the palatial system in these two inherently different geographical units is here used to demonstrate the significance of the study of Minoan symbols for the understanding of past societies. The above patterns are interpreted under the scope of an interactive relation between different social groups, individuals and objects, as well as the spaces which become fields of action for the symbols. In this frame, symbols are viewed as constantly changing formations which reflect dynamic social relations.

Abstract:
In this thesis I will argue that popularized science books should adhere to normative criteria regarding the presentation, interpretation, and understanding of the natural sciences. The increasing popularity of popular science texts (PSTs) - based on sales, critical notice, and scholarly attention - indicates that they can function to interest and partially educate the lay public in scientific principals and practices. I will identify and analyze the narrative, rhetorical features of two popular science texts: Douglas Adams' Last Chance to See and Alan Lightman's Einstein's Dreams. These texts are selected based on a series of normative criteria, criteria constructed for the purpose of enhancing the public understanding of science. Additionally, these criteria are needed to help the lay public develop a proper appreciation of science. A proper appreciation of science, I argue, enables people to make better informed decisions regarding their own personal welfare and also that of the natural world. Finally, a proper appreciation of science, stimulated by PSTs, may help both scientists and the lay public reconceive the possibilities of narrative, public writing, and civic discourse.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the role and significance of the idea and practice of 'social entrepreneurship' within UK social policy between 1980 and 2006. Social entrepreneurship came to policy prominence in 1997 with the election of New Labour. It promoted the role of individual social entrepreneurs as bringing about social innovation, and it held out the promise of contributing to social policy by revitalising poor communities, professionalising the voluntary sector, and reforming welfare. This study problematises the concept of 'social entrepreneurship', challenges its claim- bearing nature, and presents a more critical and in-depth analysis than is found in the existing research and practitioner literatures. It does this by adopting a social constructionist perspective to analyse the development, representation and enactment of social entrepreneurship as discourse and practice, drawing on a wide range of data from interviews, policy and organisational documents, academic texts, websites, and the media. The findings show that social entrepreneurship has neither given rise to the wide ranging innovations claimed nor resulted in coherent or systematic policy interventions. Rather, the idea of social entrepreneurship framed a convenient discourse within which to emphasise policy priorities centred on further incorporating a market orientation to addressing social needs, thereby extending the 'enterprise culture'. In contrast, the practice of social entrepreneurship took place primarily at the community level, involving the labelling and support of several thousand 'social entrepreneurs' who carried out small-scale social initiatives. The study identified four roles that social entrepreneurship plays in UK social policy, arising from the tensions between the market orientation of social entrepreneurship as an idea and its community oriented practice: celebrating the achievements of individuals; renegotiating welfare responsibilities through the 'active welfare subject'; creating a channel through which business can engage with community; and enabling government policy to respond to the particularism of the local.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
Este estudo tem por objetivo investigar alguns modos de ser protagonizados por jovens, a partir da arte teatral, em projetos sociais, e a sua repercussão sobre a constituição da noção de cidadania. Particularmente, o trabalho se apóia nas análises desenvolvidas a partir de observações da montagem da peça Urucubaca, trabalho realizado por jovens integrantes da Trupe de Teatro do Grupo Cultural Afro Reggae (GCAR), cujas atividades são realizadas no Parque Proletário de Vigário Geral, bairro do Rio de Janeiro. Baseada nos autores Michel Certeau e Mikhail Bakhtin, a pesquisa, cuja duração foi de 7 (sete) meses, teve como recurso metodológico a utilização de dois instrumentos: a entrevista e o diário de campo. A primeira foi realizada com 7 (sete) integrantes do grupo, sendo 6 (seis) jovens e 1 (um) diretor. Já o diário de campo contou com as observações e apontamentos feitos a partir das visitas realizadas aos ensaios e atividades em geral, nas quais o grupo da Trupe de Teatro trabalhava em prol da constituição daquela peça. A presença e o envolvimento destes jovens neste projeto em especial acabava por gerar um espaço em que eles construíam para si modos identitários através dos quais eles não apenas firmavam o seu pertencimento àquele grupo, como também se projetavam como autores de suas próprias vidas.
This study aims to investigate some ways of being by young people from the theatrical art, social projects, and its impact on the formation of the concept of citizenship. Particularly, the work will be supported in the analyses developed from observations of the assembly of the teatrical piece Urucubaca, formed by young members of the Group Theater Trupe of Cultural Afro Reggae (GCAR), whose activities are carried out in the Parque Proletário, Vigário Geral, Rio de Janeiro state. Based on author Michel Certeau and Mikhail Bakhtin, the research, whose duration was 7 (seven) months, had methodological use of two tools: a interview and diary of field. The first was performed with 7 (seven) members of the group, 6 (six) youths and one (1) director. During the journey some notes and abservations had been made about the activities of the group of Trupe of Theater whose worked in favour of the constitution of that piece. The presence and involvement of young people in this project in particular ended by creating a space in which they construct for them all modes of identity through which they not only firmate their belonging to that group, but also projected them as authors of their own lives.
