Davis.....32 Double Dealer188 IntroductionOn September 25, 1990, William Faulkner’s birthday anniversary, the First Annual Meeting of the Pirate’s Alley Faulkner Society marked the beginning of the Faulkner Society’s annual tributes to all great writ- ers—past, present and yet to come—in memory of the Nobel Laure- ate, who wrote his first book while living on Pirate’s Alley in 1925. Faulkner’s work was first published by The Double Dealer, a New Orleans literary journal of the 1920s, which the Faulkner Society rein- stituted in 1992. Much of the material in this issue relates to the theme of Words & Music in 2010, the Society’s 20th anniversary. As a young man, Faulkner’s imagination was captured by the romance of the flying aces of the RAF but he also was a keen observer of the sad experiences veterans were having as they attempted to re-enter American society after the trauma of the “Great War.” Faulkner’s novel, in fact, is among the first American novels to address post-traumatic stress disorders among veterans and their families. It was only fitting in a milestone year in the Society’s history— when American men and women by the thousands were serving in Afghanistan and other hotspots— that Words & Music and The Double Dealer focused on war and its impact on literature and life. Mr. Faulkner’s first novel, Soldiers’ Pay, is the story of a veteran flyer who finds himself at odds with home, unable to pick up the pieces of the life he led before he left to go into battle. Mr. Faulkner had a keen understanding of both the lure of war and the evil of it. He understood clearly how war can shape the fabric of a society for generations after.

The story about Richard in this issue of the Double Dealer is an updated version of a story which appeared after a reception celebrating his prize-winning novel, Independence Day. By Rosemary James All living things, of course, are nourished or dam- aged by the elements of their environments. For some sturdy creatures, survival is easier. Some humans, for instance, seem to thrive and flower most profusely in the midst of elemental turmoil. Others require calm instead of the storm to flourish.

  • Anders Nyström, Katatonia, on „The Fall of Hearts“
    Anders Nyström, Katatonia, on „The Fall of Hearts“, new band-members and touring plans »It’s a play between light and dark, if you don’t have the light, you won’t see the dark« Prior to the release of the tenth Katatonia album The Fall of Hearts on the 20th of May, I had the chance to speak to guitar player Anders Nyström about the recordings and the songwriting of the album, new band members and touring plans of the swedish kings of dark melancholic progressive metal. Zur deutschen Übersetzung des Interviews Anders, the upcoming Katatonia album „The Fall of Hearts“ will mark the first ‘fully distorted’ release since 2012’s highly acclaimed „Dead End Kings“ (excluding the live release „Last Fair Day Gone Night“, 2014). Having worked on the ‘metal-less’ 2013 re-imagining of Dead End Kings entitled Dethroned„ & Uncrowned“ (2013) and extensive subsequent acoustic tours culminating in the Live DVD release of „Sanctitude“ last year, how much has this rather long absence from fully plugged heaviness influenced the songwriting for The Fall of Hearts? I think, by doing the many „Dethroned & Uncrowned“ and „Sanctitude“ acoustic gigs and album we opened up a new door for our audience to choose, to get familiar with, to accept a new sound of Katatonia. We never tried to claim or anything that this was the indication of our new style. It was just a little side experiment to show that we have more sides than just one in Katatonia. We also could show a softer more lushy acoustic side that would still sound like Katatonia.

Abstract: Based on a school ethnography carried out in an English primary school in the last years of New Labour Government, this paper examines the processes and dynamics involved in the introduction of a cooperative learning method as part of the Success for All Literacy Program, which was being implemented in the school for the first time. I discuss the difficulties and resistances showed by children’s interactions and teachers’ declarations during the development of the program as the sign of competing agendas within the school and within the educational policy as well. They also manifest the deep penetration of a model of participation and learning that suits the neoliberal educational policy embraced by the British governments since the Education Reform Act in 1988 up to the present time. The establishment of a culture of performativity and accountability is revealed in children’s behaviour during cooperative tasks as they tend to work in a competition rather than in a cooperation scheme and perceive their peers more as threats to their individual performance than as a support in their learning process.

  • UNEARTHING MATERIAL CULTURE: HOLOCAUST OBJECT BIOGRAPHIES AS EVIDENCE of LIFE. JEANNE JEBSON MA by Research University of Y
    UNEARTHING MATERIAL CULTURE: HOLOCAUST OBJECT BIOGRAPHIES AS EVIDENCE OF LIFE. JEANNE JEBSON MA by research University of York Archaeology December 2020 ABSTRACT Archaeological material culture provides interpretations regarding past human life. Increasingly this material culture has been used to explore the personal life and the biographies of individuals immersed in the past (eg Joy 2009; Grassby 2005). This dissertation has applied this premise to material culture associated with the Holocaust and has explored the possibility of an affective dissemination format with the inclusion of object biographies. The research hypothesis stated “a Holocaust artefact when accompanied by an object biography has a greater emotional affect on an audience than an object without a biography”. The data from a questionnaire allowed a comparison of 120 participant emotional responses to four objects with a biography to the responses to six objects without a biography. The data also encouraged supplementary enquiries exploring the affect of different object types and how participant gender and age impacts on emotional responses to Holocaust artefacts. The research results demonstrated that there is a significant difference between the emotional responses for items with and without an object biography; items with an object biography produced a higher emotional response from participants. The results also demonstrated a correlation between Holocaust object type and emotional response; higher emotional responses did correlate with personal items, items associated with a specific group and sentimental items. Additionally, a weak but positive correlation with gender and emotional response was identified. A significant difference between male and female emotional responses was determined indicating that female participants had higher emotional response scores.
