  • Hens Lay, People Lie: a Novel and an Exegesis
    HENS LAY, PEOPLE LIE A Novel and an Exegesis Beyond Epistolarity: The Warp, the Weft and the Loom Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Glenice Joy Whitting Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Higher Education, Lilydale 2012 Abstract This thesis is comprised of two components: 'Hens Lay, People Lie', a novel, and an exegesis, Beyond Epistolarity the Warp, the Weft and the Loom. Together they propose that 'creative epistolarity', namely imaginative writing with factual material, including personal letters, emails and journals, provides women with a safe space where knowledge can be intuited, articulated or performed. In this space, women find their own creative voice, write their stories and in turn, understand themselves. 'Hens Lay, People Lie' draws heavily on the epistolary genre but aims to move beyond that genre by using an auto/biographical and creative epistolary style better suited to reveal emotion and character. The novel illustrates that creative epistolarity intersects with feminism and postmodernism and is uniquely placed to empower women to write their stories. The exegesis discusses theories, methodologies, fictional techniques and creative decisions made during the writing of the novel. Key writerly choices are examined: the choice of an epistolary novel and the importance of creative epistolarity as a way of knowing the self as well as production of knowledge. The research process is practice-led research informed by personal correspondence and personal history in the autoethnographic mode. The exegesis presents a reflective examination of existing works in the genre of epistolary fiction and calls on the practices of exponents of the epistolary form such as Elizabeth Jolley, Nancy Turner and Lionel Shriver.

Address: 10 Cossins Rd, Redland, Bristol, BS6 7LY Tel: 07766 105491 Email: [email protected] Web: www.bristolensemble.com Artistic Director - Roger Huckle 2 Project Plan TreeSong was a Bristol Green Capital project and part of the Nature strand of public events. It was based on an idea designed with three aims: Improving public knowledge and understanding of nature within the urban environment Connecting people to nature and encouraging their appreciation of the natural urban wealth through interaction Providing an artistic experience through the interpretation of a natural phenomenon Original proposal TreeSong is an arts installation commissioned by Bristol 2015 as part of the city’s year as European Green Capital. A specific beech tree was chosen (see map) we installed a low level structure beneath the canopy designed to make contact with the falling beechnuts and emit musical sound across an octave. All the sounds were recorded to capture the soundtrack of the tree and this data was used in a new classical composition premiered at St George’s Bristol in November. During hours of darkness, the installation and the tree was lit with red and green wash lighting. A solar-powered generator was positioned close to the site to provide environmentally-friendly electricity supply. Over the period of the installation, people were able to hear the sounds of the tree. An education project was planned to run alongside the installation to provide information about the tree and the role and importance of trees in the urban environment.

  • Menagerie to Me / My Neighbor Be”: Exotic Animals and American Conscience, 1840-1900
    “MENAGERIE TO ME / MY NEIGHBOR BE”: EXOTIC ANIMALS AND AMERICAN CONSCIENCE, 1840-1900 Leslie Jane McAbee A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Eliza Richards Timothy Marr Matthew Taylor Ruth Salvaggio Jane Thrailkill © 2018 Leslie Jane McAbee ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Leslie McAbee: “Menagerie to me / My Neighbor be”: Exotic Animals and American Conscience, 1840-1900 (Under the direction of Eliza Richards) Throughout the nineteenth century, large numbers of living “exotic” animals—elephants, lions, and tigers—circulated throughout the U.S. in traveling menageries, circuses, and later zoos as staples of popular entertainment and natural history education. In “Menagerie to me / My Neighbor be,” I study literary representations of these displaced and sensationalized animals, offering a new contribution to Americanist animal studies in literary scholarship, which has largely attended to the cultural impact of domesticated and native creatures. The field has not yet adequately addressed the influence that representations of foreign animals had on socio-cultural discourses, such as domesticity, social reform, and white supremacy. I examine how writers enlist exoticized animals to variously advance and disrupt the human-centered foundations of hierarchical thinking that underpinned nineteenth-century tenets of civilization, particularly the belief that Western culture acts as a progressive force in a comparatively barbaric world. Both well studied and lesser-known authors, however, find “exotic” animal figures to be wily for two seemingly contradictory reasons.

  • How We Do Business
    How we do business As a conservation and education charity we focus on protecting the natural environment and engaging with communities to enhance the sustainability of our activities. Sustainability is the outcome of being a responsible organisation, in how we interact with our visitors, funders, suppliers, employees, the community and the world. These reflect both our charitable objectives and sensible business approach. Awards ISO14001 accreditation for our environmental management system (since April 2008) Business in the Community Excellence Awards- a Big Tick in the Climate Change Category (June 2010) Green Tourism Silver Award (May 2010) Energy We have introduced new energy-saving equipment such as replacing tungsten bulbs with LED bulbs. We highlight environmental awareness and best practice to all staff at quarterly meetings. We buy green electricity which has the required ROC certificates, We installed biomass boilers, run on sustainably-sourced wood pellets, into our Butterfly Forest exhibit that opened in 2008. These measures led to a reduction in gas consumption by 7.5%, (equivalent to 58 tCO2 and a financial saving of £1,767) in 2009, against 2008. Electricity consumption decreased by 18,399 KWh on our Clifton site, a reduction of 0.7%. Water Management We reduced water consumption in 2009 by 1,575 m3, a decrease of 3.5% against 2008. Since 2007 we have included rainwater harvesting in the design of new buildings. We collect rainwater from the Education Centre, Monkey Jungle and Gorilla House, to use around the gardens. We recycle water in exhibits as far as possible. In our Seal and Penguin Coasts and our Splash exhibits, the water is re-circulating.
