Both, as it happens, are at C2G Music Hall which is not just a great room for Wmusic but is easy to get to as well. Located on the south edge of downtown, all you’ve got to do is turn east from Fairfield or west from Calhoun or Lafayette (or whatever) and you can’t miss it. Even the parking situation is a breeze.

  • Deconstructing Bentham's Panopticon
    tripleC 9(1): 62-76, 2011 ISSN 1726-670X http://www.triple-c.at Deconstructing Bentham’s Panopticon: The New Meta- phors of Surveillance in the Web 2.0 Environment Manuela Farinosi Department of Human Sciences - University of Udine, Italy [email protected] Abstract: This article reflects on the meaning of the words “control” and “privacy” in light of the intensive diffusion of user generated content on the web. It presents some results of an empirical research based on 145 essays written by Italian students. The data were analysed from a qualitative point of view to understand how young people frame the topic of control on the web 2.0. The attention is focused on the metaphors used to describe online platforms and on the social environments they mention when they speak about the impacts of online diffusion of personal content on offline life. The results show that the new control practices cannot be adequately described within the classical framework of vertical control. The traditional panoptic principle of observation has to a certain extent been transformed and the Panopticon itself is no more an effective metaphor to describe the control dynamics on the web 2.0. Keywords: Social Media, Metaphors, Surveillance, Control, Panopticon, Privacy, Social Network Sites, Web 2.0, User Generated Content Acknowledgement: This paper was presented in the conference track “Surveillance in society“ (convenors: Anders Al- brechtslund, Kees Boersma, Christian Fuchs, Peter Lauritsen), 2010 Conference of the European Association for the Stud- ies of Science and Technology (EASST), University of Trento, Italy.

  • One Teacher's Search for Meaning in the Classroom A
    ONE TEACHER'S SEARCH FOR MEANING IN THE CLASSROOM A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Katherine Ann Menke, B.S.l.D. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Master's Examination Committee: Approved By Dr. Michael Parsons, Advisor Dr. Sydney Walker Advisor Department of Art Education ABSTRACT This Masters thesis follows the life long search of one art educator to uncover the heart and soul of art. Childhood experiences, educational choices, and classroom teaching experiences are examined to explain the evolution of a teaching philosophy. The circumstances and real life experiences are presented in a narrative style. The works of Grant Wiggins, Jay McTighe, and Sydney Walker are highlighted as influential theories in this particular approach to the Big Idea. The progression of the Big Idea from academic study, to personal application, and finally into a high school classroom is documented through artwork and writing. Dedicated to my family and friends who have allowed me to be a part of their stories and have graciously been a part of mine. iii AKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have been possible without the encouragement and support of my advisor, Dr. Michael Parsons. Without his probing questions and challenging classes I would never had started down this path. I would also like to thank him for letting me venture into unfamiliar territory and trusting I could complete a seemingly impossible task. I would also like to thank Dr. Sydney Walker for sharing her ideas with the world.
