    Garage House Music whats up with that Future funk is a sample-based advancement of Nu-disco which formed out of the Vaporwave scene and genre in the early 2010s. It tends to be more energetic than vaporwave, including elements of French Home, Synth Funk, and making use of Vaporwave modifying techniques. A style coming from the mid- 2010s, often explained as a blend of UK garage and deep home with other elements and strategies from EDM, popularized in late 2014 into 2015, typically mixes deep/metallic/sax hooks with heavy drops somewhat like the ones discovered in future garage. One of the very first house categories with origins embeded in New York and New Jersey. It was named after the Paradise Garage bar in New york city that operated from 1977 to 1987 under the prominent resident DJ Larry Levan. Garage house established along with Chicago home and the outcome was home music sharing its resemblances, affecting each other. One contrast from Chicago house was that the vocals in garage house drew stronger impacts from gospel. Noteworthy examples consist of Adeva and Tony Humphries. Kristine W is an example of a musician involved with garage house outside the genre's origin of birth. Also understood as G-house, it includes very little 808 and 909 drum machine-driven tracks and often sexually explicit lyrics. See likewise: ghettotech, juke house, footwork. It integrates components of Chicago's ghetto house with electro, Detroit techno, Miami bass and UK garage. It includes four-on-the-floor rhythms and is normally faster than a lot of other dance music categories, at approximately 145 to 160 BPM.

    Art Territory April 22, 2016 GAGOSIAN GALLERY The Pool as a Fire Jean Pigozzi’s book, “Pool Party: Sixty Years at the World’s Most Famous Pool” Una Meistere Jean Pigozzi. Elle Macpherson, 1991. Archival pigment print, 20 x 24 inches (50.8 x 61 cm). Edition of 15, plus 3 APs. © Jean Pigozzi. Courtesy of Gagosian Gallery “I see the symbol of the pool as a place where people used to settle around the fire. It’s a central focus of fun activities, where people are very relaxed, tell stories, jump in the pool and have a good time. That’s why I did this book, it’s completely based around the pool, and only around the pool,” says Jean Pigozzi – photographer, art collector, philanthropist and one of today's most extravagant characters on the contemporary art scene – when asked by Arterritory.com what is it about swimming pools that fascinates him, and could they be seen as a symbol of hedonism. Rizzoli Publications has just released Pigozzi's book, “Pool Party: Sixty Years at the World’s Most Famous Pool”, while New York's Gagosian Gallery has opened the doors to the exhibition “Johnny's Pool” (through May 28).

  • Swansea University
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: Swansea University Unit of Assessment: 30 - History Title of case study: Re-discovering Richard Burton: generating new creative representations and commemorations of a cultural icon 1. Summary of the impact New research by historian Chris Williams at Swansea University has made a contribution to economic prosperity via the creative sector through the publication, in October 2012, of The Richard Burton Diaries. Using the critical resource of his private diaries, this volume, for the first time, presents and interprets the personal reflections of the actor and Hollywood screen legend, Richard Burton (1925-1984). Sustained international press interest in the months before and after publication, helped the book to become a global best-seller. As a result, Williams’ edition has influenced public discourse, generating new ways of thinking about Burton’s life and personality, prompting film and television companies to commission new drama and documentary programmes about the actor, and influencing these creative outputs by shaping the way Burton is portrayed in them. It has also given momentum to a campaign to commemorate his career with the installation of a Richard Burton ‘star’ on Hollywood Boulevard. 2. Underpinning research a) Context The surviving diaries of Richard Burton, written between 1940 and 1983, were deposited at the University Archives in Swansea in May 2005 by Burton’s widow, Sally. Williams, appointed Professor of Welsh History at Swansea in 2005, had sole access to the diaries from the time of their deposit and was granted a period of leave from teaching duties for the academic year 2009-10 to undertake the research required to bring an authoritative edition of Burton’s words into print.

Since the publication of his first book in , Bloom has written more than forty books of literary criticism, several books discussing religion, and one novel.

I was surprised in Chapter 15 by the look at the role of the Clown in the play. Cleopatra identifies herself with the Nile and with the earth of Egypt. That book was the last surviving manuscript of an ancient Roman philosophical epic by Lucretius—a beautiful poem containing the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functioned without the aid of gods, that religious fear was damaging to human life, and that matter was made up of very small particles.

  • Feminism, Survival, and Paranoia in Jodie Foster's Body of Work
    Faculty Scholarship 2016 Chronic Tomboys: Feminism, Survival, and Paranoia in Jodie Foster’s Body of Work Lynne Stahl Follow this and additional works at: https://researchrepository.wvu.edu/faculty_publications Part of the Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Commons DOI: 10.7560/VLT7704 The Velvet Light Trap NUMBER 77 SPRING 2016 © 2016 by the University of Texas Press Chronic Tomboys: Feminism, Survival, and Paranoia in Jodie Foster’s Body of Work by Lynne Stahl Abstract From Freaky Friday (1976) to Flightplan (2005), Jodie Foster has made a career of defying gender norms–a defiance predicated largely upon her characteristically tomboyish embodiment and a mode of being that combines activeness, visual agency, and a distinctively resistant demeanor that spans her body of work to the extent that one can hardly watch any one of her films without involuntary recourse to her earlier and later movies. This essay takes up David Fincher’s Panic Room (2002), which unites tomboy figures of two generations in Foster and Kristen Stewart and works, in light of the former’s corpus and its feminist bent, to refuse the trope that sees tomboyism capitulate to heteronormative strictures in adolescence. Instead, Panic Room reproduces that embodied resistance in an adult through interactions with her daughter. The essay then proceeds further into the films of an iconic tomboy actress to posit a mode of queer feminist reproductivity enacted through Foster’s star image and a recuperation of feminist “paranoia” through the consistent critique of heteronormativity that her aggregate body of work performs. Moreover, it addresses debates within queer theory about time, refuting antisocial currents—the push against “for-the-child” sentiments predominant in contemporary political rhetoric—and proposing an alternative, recursive temporality, and within the field of feminist film studies, demonstrating a subversive potential within commercial narrative film across the span of one Hollywood star’s career.
