WWW.ST-HUGHS.OX.AC.UK 1 ST HUGH’S COLLEGE, OXFORD Headline Acts: Shakespeare and the political cartoon by Dr David Taylor, Tutorial Fellow in English Obama is Hamlet. He’s the picture of puzzlement, of indecision. Dressed in black, he clasps a skull in one hand and scratches his head with the other. But the skull he’s contemplating is that, not of “poor Yorick”, but rather of Syria, and behind him we see a landscape of death and desolation: the bombed- out shells of tower blocks and a grotesque mound of human skulls that rises out of view, as if without end. The image I’ve just described is a political cartoon by Peter Schrank (fig. 1), published in the Independent on Sunday in 2013. At that time, the increasingly internecine civil war in Syria had escalated into a full-blown international incident and a humanitarian crisis, but President Obama remained uneasy about the United States intervening in the conflict (though he would finally offer military aid to the anti-government rebels). Dr David Taylor. How and why does Schrank invoke Shakespeare to to act (look, once more, at the towering pile of respond to this issue? skulls). Hamlet is a tragedy: by the end of the play Schrank’s cartoon is strikingly simple in visual terms the stage is strewn with corpses, including Hamlet’s and, apart from the skull that Obama clutches own. Shrank marshals Shakespeare as a way not (labelled “Syria” in blood red), it’s also wordless. only of representing present political crisis but also By drawing on Shakespeare’s legendarily long and of imagining one possible future towards which the difficult play it’s able to make a complex satirical present might lead us. statement with remarkable economy. In particular, What Schrank’s cartoon shows us is just how Hamlet provides the solution to a real conundrum. deeply indebted to, and immersed in, Shakespeare What does indecision look like? How can we depict our political culture is. Yes, Shakespeare is theatre, it? For all that professional literary critics (like me!) is poetry, is the book we were forced to read at might harp on about how Shakespeare’s famous school well before we could understand a word Danish prince is a study in introspection, an attempt of it. But Shakespeare is also something more than to get at the paradoxes of the human ‘self’, the words printed on a page or spoken on a stage. His character is also perhaps the best-known image of works are part of our vocabulary of politics. They indecision our culture possesses. His most famous are, we might say, something like a mythology: a line – the one line of Shakespeare surely everyone set of personalities and stories through which we can recite – is a question, a question moreover make sense of what’s going on in the world around that he never really answers. “To be or not to be?” us – most especially the always slippery, frantic, When we think about Hamlet, we think first and disorienting, unpleasant world of politics.

  • Data Science Symposium Programme
    Welcome to the Data Science Symposium 2016 Introduction In the current Information Age, data has become a commodity that is driving development crucial to future economic success, particularly for service-based economies such as the UK. The potential to transform the economic landscape is tantalising, from providing business with strategic advantage or new services, to revolutionising medical diagnostics, among many other benefits to society. However this potential cannot be realised unless new methods for handling, analysing, and extracting knowledge from data are made available. This is particularly relevant in the context of Big Data, where scalable techniques and algorithms are vitally important. The emerging field of Data Science usually refers to the interface between Statistics, Mathematics, and Computer Science that is providing the much sought novel techniques and approaches arising from the cross-fertilisation of ideas between these complementary domains. Data Science is rapidly gathering momentum, and suggests promising new research avenues in the near future. In recognition of this momentum, EPSRC have established the Alan Turing Institute to promote advanced research and translational work in the application of data science, acknowledging that this requires leadership both in advanced mathematics and in computing science. Set in the heart of the gorgeous New Forest, this Data Science Symposium organised by the University of Southampton brings together a multi-institutional, high-profile panel of speakers to promote the cross-fertilisation of ideas between the different domains of Data Science and discuss the prospects of this emerging field in the near future. This event is financed through the EPSRC Institutional Sponsorship grant ‘Southampton Data Science’.

The framework captures 1) how engagement with OER manifests itself in people’s behaviours and attitudes in various stages of progression from novice to expert users and 2) what factors impinge on a person’s engagement with OER. In this paper we apply the framework retrospectively to the disciplinary context of language teaching. This exercise has two aims. First, we use the framework to assess the degree to which teachers at the Department of Languages, The Open University, UK, have engaged with OER reuse following the introduction of LORO, a departmental open repository of teaching materials for languages.

    Annual Review 2016/17 Pushing at the frontiers of Knowledge Portrait of Dr Henry Odili Nwume (Brasenose) by Sarah Jane Moon – see The Full Picture, page 17. FOREWORD 2016/17 has been a memorable year for the country and for our University. In the ever-changing and deeply uncertain world around us, the University of Oxford continues to attract the most talented students and the most talented academics from across the globe. They convene here, as they have always done, to learn, to push at the frontiers of knowledge and to improve the world in which we find ourselves. One of the highlights of the past twelve months was that for the second consecutive year we were named the top university in the world by the Times Higher Education Global Rankings. While it is reasonable to be sceptical of the precise placements in these rankings, it is incontrovertible that we are universally acknowledged to be one of the greatest universities in the world. This is a privilege, a responsibility and a challenge. Other highlights include the opening of the world’s largest health big data institute, the Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Information and Discovery, and the launch of OSCAR – the Oxford Suzhou Centre for Advanced Research – a major new research centre in Suzhou near Shanghai. In addition, the Ashmolean’s success in raising £1.35 million to purchase King Alfred’s coins, which included support from over 800 members of the public, was a cause for celebration. The pages that follow detail just some of the extraordinary research being conducted here on perovskite solar cells, indestructible tardigrades and driverless cars.

    Spectatrices: Moviegoing and Women’s Writing, 1925-1945 Nolan Gear Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Nolan Gear All Rights Reserved Abstract Spectatrices: Moviegoing and Women’s Writing, 1925-1945 Nolan Gear How did cinema influence the many writers who also constituted the first generation of moviegoers? In Spectatrices, I argue that early moviegoing was a rich imaginative reservoir for anglophone writers on both sides of the Atlantic. Coming to cinema from the vantage of the audience, I suggest that women of the 1920s found in moviegoing a practice of experimentation, aesthetic inquiry, and social critique. My project is focused on women writers not only as a means of reclaiming the femininized passivity of the audience, but because moviegoing offered novel opportunities for women to gather publicly. It was, for this reason, a profoundly political endeavor in the first decades of the 20th century. At the movies, writers such as Jessie Redmon Fauset, Zora Neale Hurston, H.D., Dorothy Richardson, and Virginia Woolf developed concepts of temporary community, alternative desire, and discontinuous form that they then incorporated into their literary practice. Where most scholarship assessing cinema’s influence on literature is governed by the medium-specificity of film, my project emphasizes the public dimension of the movies, the fleeting and semi-anonymous intimacy of the moviegoing audience. In turning to moviegoing, Spectatrices opens new methods of comparison and cross-canonical reorganization, focusing on the weak social ties typified by moviegoing audiences, the libidinal permissiveness of fantasy and diva-worship, the worshipful rhetoric by which some writers transformed the theater into a church, and most significantly, the creation of new public formations for women across different axes of class, gender, and race.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.
