  • Barbara Hammer, 70 Years Old, Hands the Camera to Gina Carducci, a Young Queer Film- Maker
    Generations is a film about mentoring and passing on the tradi- tion of personal experimental filmmaking. Barbara Hammer, 70 years old, hands the camera to Gina Carducci, a young queer film- maker. Shooting during the last days of Astroland at Coney Is- land, New York, the filmmakers find that the inevitable fact of ageing echoes in the architecture of the amusement park and in the emulsion of the film medium itself. Editing completely sep- arately both picture and sound, the filmmakers join their films in the middle when they’ve finished, making a true generational and experimental experiment. In a time when digital dominates the art domain, a DIY aesthet- ic is embraced by Gina Carducci, a young thirty-year-old filmmak- er who hand processes 16mm film and a seventy-year-old pioneer of queer experimental cinema, Barbara Hammer. Hammer invites Carducci to collaborate on a new film, Generations.

  • Barbara Hammer – Technology of Touch Chapter 2
    !1 ! The concerns of O’Neill’s first 15 years of filmmaking — the graphic qualities of the image, the role of stasis in the context of a time-based art form, and the process-based applications of technology in making art — are writ large in the second phase of his career, in which he shifted to 35mm for a series of extraordinarily accomplished feature-length films. In these films, which include Water and Power (1989) and Decay of Fiction (2002), the sketch- based experimentation of his earlier work is supplanted with a symphonic form that seeks to unify its disparate elements into a thematically cohesive whole, often with more pronounced political engagement. In both phases of his career, O’Neill has used the optical printer to experiment with form, which is often linked to art historical ideas about design, process, and perspective. This stands in contrast to Barbara Hammer, whose own innovative use of the printer is tied directly to its capacity to provide an emotionally accurate representation of her personal feelings and desires. ! Barbara Hammer: The Technology of Touch If ever there were a meta-film about optical printing, materiality, and the marginalization of the avant-garde filmmaker, Barbara Hammer’s Endangered (1988) is it. An urgent warning about the precarious position of experimental filmmakers, light, and life on planet Earth, this fragile film begins with an off-kilter double exposure of Hammer working steadily on her optical printer while snowflakes, depicted as particles of light energy, swirl around her silhouette. In a series of traveling mattes, boxes-within-boxes expand and contract, dividing abstract patterns of light into discontinuous fragments.

  • Colonial Contractions: the Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946
    Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Vicente L. Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines. Keywords: Philippines, colonialism, empire, Spain, United States, Japan The origins of the modern Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histo­ ries of three empires: Spain, the United States, and Japan. This background makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation-states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power relationships.

Anderson: The Girl in the Woods THE GIRL IN THE WOODS: ON FAIRY STORIES AND THE VIRGIN HORROR INTRODUCTION The story is an old one: the maiden, venturing out her door, ignores her guardian’s prohibitions and leaves the chosen path. Fancy draws her on. She picks the flow- ers. She revels in her freedom, in the joy of being young. Then peril appears—a wolf, a monster, something with teeth for gobbling little girls—and she learns, too late, there is more to life than flowers. The girl is destroyed, but then—if she is lucky—she returns a woman. According to Maria Tatar (while quoting Catherine Orenstein): “the girl in the woods embodies ‘complex and fundamental human concerns’” (146), a state- ment at least partly supported by its appearance in the works of both Joss Whedon and J.R.R.

  • Eat Like a Republican and You Won't Get AIDS
    TRANSMISSIONS: THE JOURNAL OF FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES 2017, VOL.2, NO. 1, PP. 150-160. Andrzej Pitrus Jagiellonian University Eat like a Republican and you won’t get AIDS - a conversation with Barbara Hammer Andrzej Pitrus: In 2009 I had the honor to speak to Jonas Mekas. Many people consider him the father of American avant-garde. Do you agree? Barbara Hammer: I don’t agree. Should I tell you why? Yes, sure. I think Jonas Mekas did a lot to contribute to avant-garde film in the United States and internationally, but in terms of American avant-garde, I think we have to look to Maya Deren, and even before – to James Sibley Watson, his Fall of the House of Usher in 1928. His Lot in Sodom was shown,—I was shocked to read this—in Times Square in 1933 without any censorship at all. Before Mekas there were many American experimental filmmakers, but he was a person promoted their works. Of course I asked Jonas: “Do you feel more Lithuanian or American?” He answered “No, I’m not American, I’m from New York. When I go outside the city, I’m a foreigner again.” I also asked him for his definition of experimental film and he said: “There’s no such thing! Scientists make experiments, I don’t really believe that there’s something like experimental film”. It was a difficult conversation in a way. I wonder if you agree with him? I definitely think there’s something like experimental film. In Sanctus (1990), which is composed of moving x-rays of a human body that Dr.

  • Stroke Pod Cast Dr. Joel Stein Transcript
    PODCAST TITLE: THE REHAB PROGRAM ADULT STROKE REHABILITATION AND RECOVERY PODCAST SERIES AMERICAN STROKE ASSOCIATION Patty: 00:04 This podcast is supported by Kindred Healthcare. Kindred Healthcare is a sponsor of the American Stroke Association's Together to End Stroke Initiative. Patty: 00:15 Hello and welcome. This podcast is part of a series on key recommendations from the American Stroke Association guidelines for adult stroke, rehabilitation and recovery. Today we'll be talking in more detail about the rehabilitation program. My name is Patty Clements, and I'm with the communications team at the American Heart Association. I have with me Dr. Joel Stein. He is the Simon Baruch Professor and Chair of the Department of Rehabilitation and Regenerative Medicine at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons and professor and chair of Rehabilitation Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. He's also chief of PM&R at New York Presbyterian Hospital and the vice chair of the American Heart Association Stroke Rehabilitation Guidelines Writing Group, Dr. Stein, welcome. Joel: 01:01 Thank you. Patty: 01:02 Dr. Stein, to get us started, let's talk about post-stroke rehabilitation. How prevalent is it? How many patients get it and how important is it? Joel: 01:10 Stroke is a very common problem still in the United States. There are estimates that about 800,000 people sustain a stroke each year. It turns out that about two-thirds of those individuals who survive a stroke require rehabilitation to some degree after their stroke. That can begin in the hospital setting and continue sometimes in a specialized rehabilitation facility and typically continues into the home environment as well.

I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

As the region becomes more digitally connected, demand for Digital Services and technologies is also becoming more prominent. With the digital economy still in its infancy, it is unclear which global advances in Digital Services and technologies will be adopted by the Middle East and which require local development. In this context, identifying how, where and with whom to work with in this market can be very challenging. In our effort to broaden the discussion, we have prepared this report to define the Digital Services landscape for the Middle East, to help the region’s digital community in understanding and navigating through this complex and ever-changing space. Eng. Ayman Al Bannaw Today, we are witnessing an unprecedented change in the technology, media, and Chairman & CEO telecommunications industries. These changes, driven mainly by consumers, are taking Noortel place at a pace that is causing confusion, disruption and forcing convergence. This has created massive opportunities for Digital Services in the region, which has in turn led to certain industry players entering the space in an incoherent manner, for fear of losing their market share or missing the opportunities at hand.
