  • On Watery Borders, Borderlands, and Tania Kovats' Head to Mouth
    arts Article On Watery Borders, Borderlands, and Tania Kovats’ Head to Mouth Ysanne Holt Department of Arts, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 8ST, UK; [email protected] Received: 30 June 2019; Accepted: 13 August 2019; Published: 20 August 2019 Abstract: With a relational view of landscapes and natural environments as continuously “in process” and formed from the over-layered and interdependent connections between nature and culture, the human and the non-human, this paper considers some recent practices by artists who have worked in the largely rural border region of Northern England and Southern Scotland. Expanding from a focus on the artist Tania Kovats’ 2019 Berwick Visual Arts exhibition, Head to Mouth, and a wider frame of non-anthropocentric ecological thought in relation to the visual arts, it explores the significance of diverse creative engagements with water, here with the River Tweed, and their potential value in a current cross-border context of social and environmental challenges and concern. Keywords: borderlands; ecological thinking; River Tweed; Tania Kovats; contemporary arts and environment; water; Anglo-Scottish borders 1. Introduction The UK border region of Northern England and Southern Scotland is sparsely populated and often perceived and experienced as marginal and remote, with associations either of peace and tranquility, or of isolation and peripherality. Amidst social and political anxieties wrought by referenda on Scottish Independence (2014) and Brexit (2016), and the environmental problems that face this primarily rural, cross-border location overall, the significance of its shared resources, practices, and identities and the value in this context of recent forms of visual arts practice are important considerations.

  • Trish Reid, Theatre & Scotland (Houndmills
    Ian Brown, editor, The Edinburgh Companion to Scottish Drama (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2011); Trish Reid, Theatre & Scotland (Houndmills: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) Alan Riach What might be described as the conventional wisdom about Scottish drama is summed up in the first two sentences of chapter 10 of Marshall Walker’s book, Scottish Literature since 1707 (1996): ‘There is no paucity of Scottish theatrical heritage, but there is a shortage of durable Scottish plays. Drama is the genre in which Scottish writers have shown least distinction.’ It is a judgement that has been perpetuated over generations but only relatively recently has the necessary scholarship and engagement been advanced, by both academics and theatre practitioners, to interrogate the assumptions that lie behind it. Walker refers to ‘the circumstances of theatrical history’ and questions of suppression and censorship, the Reformation, the removal of the court to London in 1603, the Licensing Act of 1737, and concludes his introduction to the chapter by saying that despite familiar references to Allan Ramsay, John Home, Joanna Baillie, and the vitality of folk, music-hall and variety theatre, nothing much happens between Sir David Lyndsay in the sixteenth century and the ‘return’ of Scottish drama in the twentieth century. Most of his chapter then goes on to discuss incisively and refreshingly the achievements of J.M. Barrie, James Bridie and John McGrath but the context he sketches out is barren. As a summary, there is some brutal truth in this, but as an appraisal of the whole complex story, there is much more to be said, and much more has been discovered and made public in the decades since Walker’s book appeared.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

The books you read will be used in your English class during the first few weeks of the first trimester. As you read, we urge you to remember that the art of reading is a creative act, a collaboration between reader and writer. Hold a dialogue with these books: question, argue, disagree; underline those passages that exhilarate you as well as those that infuriate you. Keep a notebook to jot down your imme- diate responses to each of these works and write questions that you want to discuss in your English classes. Encourage your family and friends to join you in these reading experiences. A number of the books on this list have been made into movies, many of them wonderful in their own right. Seeing a movie instead of reading the book, however, will not prepare you for your teacher’s assignment related to that book, nor will it replace the unique experience of interacting with a specific text.

    www.stow-borders.co.uk Stow & Fountainhall COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER ISSUE 29 ~ summer/autumn 2017 CULTURE ON OUR DOORSTEP CULTURE ON OUR DOORSTEP If you’ve been around in our part of the Gala Water valley this summer you’re likely to have been aware of the rich mix of cultural events that our part of the world seems to have developed a thirst for and which it’s bursting to slake. Stowed Out, a triumph of local passion and organisation, has just finished at the time of collating the newsletter - our own Music and Arts Festival which brings to the Quoiting Green annually an ever-evolving mix of musicians to the sound stage; contemporary performers to the ROAR spoken word stage; and connects this year with the thought-provoking Cloudhouse Café and Gallery-based ‘Sanctuary’ exhibition of painting and sculpture by local artists, inspired by our area’s history and location, curated by one of our local artists, and running until late September. A few days after Stowed Out, two Fellows of the Royal Photographic Society connected to our locality, gave an enthralling photography presentation in Stow Town Hall which was enthusiastically attended. Over the summer Fountainhall Village Hall committee brought a play, an (orchestral) performance and puppets to our smaller village, enriching our days and cementing Fountainhall as a venue for small touring theatre companies - a direction of travel begun earlier this year. The Backroad Picture House began in late 2016 and its programme for the coming season is unveiled inside offering another fine mix from classic to contemporary films, across genres, for both adults and children over the coming winter.
