  • An Overlooked Colonial English of Europe: the Case of Gibraltar
    .............................................................................................................................................................................................................WORK IN PROGESS WORK IN PROGRESS TOMASZ PACIORKOWSKI DOI: 10.15290/CR.2018.23.4.05 Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań An Overlooked Colonial English of Europe: the Case of Gibraltar Abstract. Gibraltar, popularly known as “The Rock”, has been a British overseas territory since the Treaty of Utrecht was signed in 1713. The demographics of this unique colony reflect its turbulent past, with most of the population being of Spanish, Portuguese or Italian origin (Garcia 1994). Additionally, there are prominent minorities of Indians, Maltese, Moroccans and Jews, who have also continued to influence both the culture and the languages spoken in Gibraltar (Kellermann 2001). Despite its status as the only English overseas territory in continental Europe, Gibraltar has so far remained relatively neglected by scholars of sociolinguistics, new dialect formation, and World Englishes. The paper provides a summary of the current state of sociolinguistic research in Gibraltar, focusing on such aspects as identity formation, code-switching, language awareness, language attitudes, and norms. It also delineates a plan for further research on code-switching and national identity following the 2016 Brexit referendum. Keywords: Gibraltar, code-switching, sociolinguistics, New Englishes, dialect formation, Brexit. 1. Introduction Gibraltar is located on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula and measures just about 6 square kilometres. This small size, however, belies an extraordinarily complex political history and social fabric. In the Brexit referendum of 23rd of June 2016, the inhabitants of Gibraltar overwhelmingly expressed their willingness to continue belonging to the European Union, yet at the moment it appears that they will be forced to follow the decision of the British govern- ment and leave the EU (Garcia 2016).

(September 28, 2017) – The University Galleries at Florida Atlantic University, in collaboration with contemporary Danish textile artist Isabel Berglund, is inviting the public to take part in community “Knit Together” workshops from Monday, Oct. 16 through Wednesday, Oct. 25. The free workshops will result in several hundred textile pieces that the artist will combine with her own to create a huge sculpture. Workshops will be scheduled at a number of local community organizations and at FAU. There also will be “Stitch Together” workshops from Saturday, Oct. 21 through Wednesday, Nov. 1 at FAU’s Schmidt Center Gallery, which will be open to the public and FAU students every day except Sundays. Any interested community groups or individual participants can take part in this project by contacting the University Galleries at 561-297- 2661 or by emailing Cynthia Stucki at [email protected]. In the “Knit Together” workshops, the artist will guide and assist participants with the creation of patterns made from the drawings of their homes or examples from previous workshops. Participants will hand-knit a simple design resembling the size and shape of their residence or a home they remember. These floorplans will be made at one-twentieth the size of their home. Knitting instructions will be provided and those who know how to knit will be encouraged to use their favorite stitch and preferred needle size to create their own personal handprint on the surface of the knitted or crocheted patch.

  • Color, and the Tactile Joy of Finger Painting
    Tapestry Topics A Quarterly Review of Tapestry Art Today www.americantapestryalliance.org Summer 2010 Vol 36 No 2 On Designing for Tapestry by Thoma Ewen Within each of us is a deep well of creativity. It is linked to spirit and to the life force, and it is essential to well being. I often send my students outside to look at the natural environment. To me, everything begins with what you see as being beautiful. I am an artist because I wish to partici- pate in beauty. When I design and weave, my desire is to communicate the beauty that I feel. Designing tapestry begins with something I see in the natural environment that moves me. It's as if I take a visual impression of the feeling that a particular scene evokes in me. This transforms into a visual image in my mind. I give this process time and stay in touch with the feeling all the way through the designing and weaving process. I work with the visual image, exploring the feeling through drawings. I often do many Thoma Ewen at her loom. pastel drawings as studies before selecting the one I will weave into tapestry. I use the drawing that best captures the feeling. In my recent series Aurora Borealis Behind the Trees there are 10 drawings and four tapestries. Discover and enjoy your own creativity by playing with drawing or painting materials. If you feel inadequate, blocked, or stuck, watch young children finger paint. Try it yourself, as it is very freeing to lose yourself in the pure color, and the tactile joy of finger painting.
