Drugs of dependence: the role of medical professionals iii BMA Board of Science Acknowledgements The association is grateful for the help provided by the BMA committees and outside experts and organisations. We would particularly like to thank: Professor Neil McKeganey Director of the Centre for Drug Misuse Research. In 1994 Professor McKeganey opened the centre at the University of Glasgow. It undertakes research in such diverse areas as the impact of parental drug use on children, recovery from dependent drug use, the impact of drug use on prostitution, the effectiveness of drug-treatment services and the nature of preteen drug use. In 2011, the centre moved from the University of Glasgow to operate as an independent research organisation. The centre is currently undertaking work on the effectiveness of Suboxone® (buprenorphine and naloxone), the impact of drug and alcohol problems on doctors and dentists, and the effectiveness of prison- based drug treatment. Professor McKeganey has written widely on the topic of drugs policy and has contributed to the United-Nations-based International Narcotics Control Board. He is the author of over 150 academic papers and his most recent book Controversies in drug policy and practice was published in 2011 by Palgrave Macmillan.

  • “The Beatles Raise the Bar-Yet Again”By Christopher Parker
    “The Beatles Raise the Bar-Yet Again” by Christopher Parker I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, Parker, everyone knows that 1967’s Sgt. Pepper‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band is the Beatles’ greatest album and in fact the greatest album of all time. Nope. No way. I beg to differ. In my humble opinion, 1966’s Revolver, the Beatles album released the year before Sgt. Pepper, is the greatest. Why, you ask? In many ways, Revolver was the beginning of a new era, not only in the career of the Beatles, but in the ever-changing world of rock & roll. The world’s greatest rock band was beginning to tire of the endless touring amidst the chaos of Beatlemania. The constant battling against hordes of screaming fans, and a life lived being jostled and shoved from one hotel room to another were becoming more than tiresome. In addition, during a concert, the volume of screams often exceeded 120 decibels-approximately the same noise level as one would be exposed to if he were standing beside a Boeing 747 during takeoff. No one was listening to their music, and consequently, they were beginning to feel like, as John Lennon would later say, ‘waxworks’ or ‘performing fleas.’ Revolver signals a change from the ‘She Loves You’ era-relatively simple songs of love and relationships- to a new era of songs designed to be listened to. These were songs that could never be played at a live concert. They were creations-works of art-songs that were created to be appreciated and discussed-not to elicit screams from teenage girls.

  • MTO 23.2: Lafrance, Finding Love in Hopeless Places
    Finding Love in Hopeless Places: Complex Relationality and Impossible Heterosexuality in Popular Music Videos by Pink and Rihanna Marc Lafrance and Lori Burns KEYWORDS: Pink, Rihanna, music video, popular music, cross-domain analysis, relationality, heterosexuality, liquid love ABSTRACT: This paper presents an interpretive approach to music video analysis that engages with critical scholarship in the areas of popular music studies, gender studies and cultural studies. Two key examples—Pink’s pop video “Try” and Rihanna’s electropop video “We Found Love”—allow us to examine representations of complex human relationality and the paradoxical challenges of heterosexuality in late modernity. We explore Zygmunt Bauman’s notion of “liquid love” in connection with the selected videos. A model for the analysis of lyrics, music, and images according to cross-domain parameters ( thematic, spatial & temporal, relational, and gestural ) facilitates the interpretation of the expressive content we consider. Our model has the potential to be applied to musical texts from the full range of musical genres and to shed light on a variety of social and cultural contexts at both the micro and macro levels. Received December 2016 Volume 23, Number 2, June 2017 Copyright © 2017 Society for Music Theory [1.1] This paper presents and applies an analytic model for interpreting representations of gender, sexuality, and relationality in the words, music, and images of popular music videos. To illustrate the relevance of our approach, we have selected two songs by mainstream female artists who offer compelling reflections on the nature of heterosexual love and the challenges it poses for both men and women.

Jaargang 5 5 The Cruel Machine: eindelijk durven we onder ogen te zien dat de nazi's wel degelijk smaak hadden. Kees Versteeg Passionate. Jaargang 5 6 In den beginne Tijdens de eerste editie in 1972 bezochten niet meer dan 17 personen de openingsvoorstelling in Calypso aan de Mauritsweg. Dat aantal vond de toenmalige wethouder van Kunstzaken De Vos zo laag dat hij weigerde om zijn geplande openingstoespraak te houden. Zo miste deze politicus tijdens deze historische gebeurtenis - indachtig Wim Wenders' Die Angst des Tormanns beim Elfmeter - een kans voor open doel om zelf geschiedenis te schrijven. Niettemin werd het festival een succes: de voorstellingen werden door zo'n 4500 belangstellenden bezocht. Anno 1997 zal de wethouder van Kunstzaken niet veel bedenktijd nodig hebben als hij uitgenodigd wordt om tijdens het International Filmfestival Rotterdam een toespraak te houden. Het festival is uitgegroeid tot een evenement dat iedereen wil bezoeken. Niet alleen politici maar ook vertegenwoordigers uit andere sectoren van de samenleving verzamelen zich in en rondom de filmtempel op het Schouwburgplein: voor tien dagen is Rotterdam the place to be. Wie op de hierboven geschetste openingsavond terugkijkt, beseft welke prestatie er de afgelopen 25 jaar is geleverd. Onder aanvoering van een bevlogen Huub Bals ontwikkelde het festival zich van een elitaire gebeurtenis met een hoog gehalte aan political correctness tot een toonaangevend evenement in de massacultuur.
