  • Abstract Autism
    Breaking Myths about Autism through Performance-ba- sed practices. An Exploratory Analysis of the Imagining Autism Approach* Sfatare alcuni miti sull'autismo attraverso le pratiche performative. Un’analisi esplorativa dell’approccio Ima- gining Autism Mabel Giraldo University of Bergamo, [email protected] Since the Seventies, the encounter between drama/theater/performance and disability has attract- ed a growing interest from both the world of art and theatrical critics and from the sciences of ed- ucation and pedagogy, engendering a fertile research field. In recent years, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have increasibily been the object and subject of these performative experimenta- tions, riding the wave of popularity that this epidemiology is experiencing at the international level. After a preliminary review of the main approaches using participatory perfomance practices with persons with autism, this work focuses on one of these methods: Imagining Autism. Providing an overview of its history and implementation, the paper explores the use of performance-based ac- tivities and their characteristics as a venue for autism research which might contribute to de-mythol- ogize this condition by challenging well-established stereotypes.

    Volume 34 m a r a p r 2 0 1 2 Number 2 Beverly Hills’ Road to Preservation by Adrian Scott Fine This is the kind of story we love to share: great news about a major preservation vic- tory, especially for a city that has previously resisted putting preservation into practice. The City of Beverly Hills made history in January, when the City Council voted unanimously to adopt a new historic preserva- tion ordinance. The vote demonstrated a real commitment to the historic places that make Beverly Hills unique. Reflecting on the vote, Councilmember Lili Bosse stated, “For me, it was one of the most important nights in Beverly Hills history.” “Beverly Hills now has a comprehensive historic preservation program that provides us with the necessary resources and responsibil- LEFT: Millard Sheets at work in 1945.
