The Bar~ Observer ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, NY, 12504 OCTOBER 20, 1997 ISSUE 3, VOLUME 8 Hospital Merger Opponents Speak To Community Save Our Services representatives address impact on women's healthcare By MICHAEL HAGGERTY, StaffWriter Gail Wolfe, Mernie Dempster, and Barbara Harrison, rhe founding members of Save Our Services, spoke to Bard studenrs in Olin on Thursday evening, October 9. The purpose of their visit was to raise awareness at Bard of the hospital merger taking place between North Dutchess, Kingston, and Benedictine hospitals. The merger has recently caused controversy among the citizens of the mid-Hudson Valley because certain terms of the agreement threaten to impose serious cutbacks in women's healthcare. Because Benedictine is affil­ iateqwith the Catholic church, North Dutchess and Kingston, both . · ·· cotp~m~n~ty ho.spirals, would be subject to Benedictine's regulations. MAKING A RACKET ... 10·1 Womens' Tennis has a lot to smile about. In conference play they boast a 9-o record. :Ac~p.fdi_~g to Wolfe, the merger has essentially become a feminist ~SS\J:~ for three reasons: it is "another way we have to fight for control ~~~r ~u~ o;~ bodies, the people making rhe decisions [abour rhe ;nerger] are men," and "all women's healthcare has been lumped into abortion." Many students voiced their own concerns over the merger, especially in view of the Tivoli Bays rape rhis summer. Most concurred that the terms under the merger were unreasonable and ~h_at the hospitals should explore other options. Those students will be happ.y to know that Bard's president also shares their concerns. President Botstcin recently disclosed to the Oburvrr a letter addressed co Michael Mazzarella, CEO of Northern Dutchess. Dated June 3, 1997, the letter states that the restrictions on repro­ ductive health care, "if they are imposed, constitute a breach of the proper division in a secular democracy between church and state." 1 Tp.e J.et~.er proceeds to srate that it is the responsibility of the college 02~~p~o~et'J?irio Fo w3s awarded the Nobel ·· His.criticil and subversive attitudes ~o ass~r~ that necessary medical services are available to students, and then appeals ro Mazzarella ro find a way around imposing religious ;~~~J~~~~~fi~1~h~t~~~~~f1~vi~~' ~~~~~n/~: s~~m;:rs <=;t~~~~ P~~::c:ci restrictions on medical care.

  • Jazz Collection: Björk
    Jazz Collection: Björk Samstag, 25. Juni 2015, 22.35 - 24.00 Uhr Erstausstrahlung: 17.11.2015 Die Isländerin Björk ist nach Joni Mitchell wohl die wichtigste und einflussreichste Songschreiberin der derzeitigen Popmusik. Ihre musikalische Spannbreite geht quer durch alle Stile, was auch heisst, dass Musikerinnen und Musiker fast aller Stile ihre Lieder covern. Auch Jazzer. Überraschende Melodien, ungewöhnliche Harmonien, - vor allem aber ein seltsamer Zauber, eine Atmosphäre die von den kahlen Landschaften und dem rauen Klima Islands genährt zu sein scheint, und die gleichwohl nicht kalt ist, sondern menschlich, warm, - weiblich vielleicht, so sind die Lieder von Björk. Wenn dann noch die zuweilen kryptischen Texte dazu kommen, ist für neugierige Jazzmusiker genug Inspiration da, sich in die Songs zu stürzen, und dabei oft Unerwartetes zutage zu fördern. Chris Wiesendanger, selbst einer dieser offenen Geister, ist unser Experte.

  • Björk Reaches Beyond the Binaries
    COMMUNICATOR BETWEEN WORLDS: BJÖRK REACHES BEYOND THE BINARIES Edwin F. Faulhaber A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2008 Committee: Kimberly Coates, Advisor Robert Sloane ii ABSTRACT Kimberly Coates, Advisor Icelandic pop star Björk has spent her career breaking down boundaries, blurring lines, and complicating binaries between perceived opposites. Examining a variety of both primary and secondary sources, this study looks at the ways that Björk challenges the binary constructions of “high” and “low” art, nature and technology, and feminism and traditional femininity, and also proposes that her uniquely postmodern approach to blurring boundaries can be a model for a better society in general. This study contends that Björk serves as a symbol of what might be possible if humans stopped constructing boundaries between everything from musical styles to national borders, and as a model for how people can focus on their commonalities while still respecting the freedom of individual expression. This is particularly important in the United States of America, a place where despite its infinite potential for cultural pluralism and collaboration, there are as many (or more) divisions between people based upon race, class, gender, and religion as anywhere else in the world. iii Dedicated to Morgaine iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my committee, Dr. Kim Coates and Rob Sloane, for all of their suggestions and encouragement while I wrote this thesis. I would also like to thank Dr. Don McQuarie and Gloria Enriquez Pizana for their support and assistance, as well as a host of wonderful professors who laid the groundwork for this thesis by inspiring me along the way: Rob, Kim, Drs.

  • Sampling Haraway, Hunting Bjork: Locating a Cyborg Subjectivity
    Sampling Haraway, Hunting Bjork: Locating a Cyborg Subjectivity Andrew Robbie Haraway's Cyborg in Context In the context of post-Marxist and poststructuralist thought, Donna Haraway's early writings are hardly distinctive in having a strained relationship with the binary opposition. In an article that recounts her difficult attempt to define "gender," Haraway claims that "the evidence is building of a need for a theory of 'difference' whose geometries, paradigms, and logics break out of binaries, dialectics, and nature/ culture models of any kind."l Her phrasing suggests the complexity of the problem: she does not claim either to know of or use such a theory, nor does she claim that her own writing does not continue to make productive use of various binary formulations when they suit her purposes. She seems to hint that even honest attempts at such a theory would likely be undermined by intransigent oppositions lurking in unsuspected corners of their meta-theoretical architecture. Yet the explosive fervor and potentially self-recriminatory nature of Haraway's proposition cast her as an honest theoretical adventurer who might be forgiven any dependence on an intellectual heritage that both defines the problem and must be effaced by its solution. It befits the image of Haraway-as-revolutionary to picture her improvising a massive mobile Many thanks to Chris Hasty and Alex Rehding for their comments on earlier versions of this paper. 1 Donna Haraway, Simians, Cyborgs and Women: The Reinvention of Nature (New York: Routledge, 1991), 129. repercussions 10 (2007): 57-95. 58 Robbie: Sampling Haraway, Hunting Bjijrk whose gravity might eventually render its moorings superfluous, unafraid of the contradictions that might arise along the way.

Riis Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we Find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards Of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. Daly, Elissa (Ph.D., Musicology, College of Music) A Fusion of Nature and Technology?: Icelandic Identity, Activism, and the Art of Björk Thesis directed by Associate Professor Jay Keister This dissertation investigates the effects of massive industrialization, technological sophistication, and environmental problems in Iceland on the music of Björk, Iceland's most renowned living musician. In the seventy-year period since Icelanders gained independence from Denmark, their perception of themselves has changed from a fishing and farming community to an urban community preoccupied with technological development. I investigate the way this shift in Icelandic identity has been expressed through the art of Iceland's pop stars with a focus on Björk. In the last twenty years, during Björk's rise to fame, Iceland has become a contender in the global economy in the areas of technology and sustainable energy.
