  • The Practices of Carnival: Community, Culture and Place
    The Practices of Carnival: Community, Culture and Place. Submitted by Jonathan Freeman Croose to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography May 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. …………………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract: This thesis analyses ethnographic data gathered during participant observation within two vernacular town carnivals in East Devon and Dorset during 2012 and within the professional Cartwheelin’ and Battle for the Winds street performances which were staged as part of the Maritime Mix programme of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad at Weymouth. The thesis presents qualitative perspectives with regard to the cultural performance of carnival in the fieldwork area, in order to analyse the ‘performativity’ of carnival in these contexts: how it enacts and embodies a range of instrumentalities with regard to notions of community, culture and place. The thesis serves to unpack the ‘performance efficacy’ of carnival within the wider political and cultural landscape of the UK in the early 21st century, revealing the increasing influence of institutional policy on its aesthetics and cultural performance. By way of contrast, the thesis also asserts the value of vernacular carnivalesque street performance as a contestation of hegemonic notions of ‘art’, ‘place’ and ‘culture’.

Thank-you. http://www.themjcast.com/episode-061-jonathan-sugarfoot-moffett-special/ The MJCast (Q): Hello, and welcome to the MJCast! I am Q, one of your hosts for today, and today we're interviewing one of Michael's most long-standing collaborators—potentially his most long-standing. The MJCast (Jamon): Jonathan 'Sugarfoot' Moffett worked with Michael Jackson and the Jacksons as their tour drummer starting in 1979 with the "Destiny Tour", and continued to work with them later for the "Triumph Tour", the "Victory Tour", Michael's 1988 Grammy Awards performance, the "HIStory World Tour", his "30th Anniversary" shows, and, eventually, "This is It". MJCast (Q): Not only did Jonathan Sugarfoot have the honor of collaborating closely with the Jacksons, but he has also toured with artists such as Madonna, George Michael, Prince, Elton John, and Lionel Richie. MJCast (Jamon): Jonathan, it's an honor to have you here on the MJCast how're you going? Jonathan Moffett: I'm doing pretty good—I've been doing pretty good. A little mistake in there—I'd never toured with Prince. I've worked in a studio [where] Madonna and Prince [were] on the same song "Keep it Together", so I've never toured. I don't want misinformation to get out there, so I've never toured with Prince, although he has asked me about touring with him, which never just came about because he was at a lot of the after parties at the Jackson shows, Elton shows, and cameo shows, and he'd speak to me and give me a combination of performance and he asked me about playing with him, but it just never happened.

CARNIVAL’S DANCE OF DEATH: FESTIVITIY IN THE REVENGE PLAYS OF KYD, SHAKESPEARE, AND MIDDLETON by BENJAMIN ROLLINS Under the Direction of Paul Voss ABSTRACT Through four hundred years of accumulated disparaging comments from critics, revenge plays have lost much of the original luster they possessed in early modern England. Surprisingly, scholarship on revenge tragedy has invented an unfavorable lens for understanding this genre, and this lens has been relentlessly parroted for decades. The all-too-familiar generic approach that calls for revenge plays to exhibit a recurring set of concerns, including a revenge motive, a hesitation for the protagonist, and the revenger’s feigned or actual madness, imply that these plays lack philosophical depth, as the appellation of revenge tends to evoke the trite commonalities which we have created for the genre. This dissertation aims to rectify the provincial views concerning revenge tragedies by providing a more complex, multivalent critical model that makes contemporary outmoded approaches to this genre.

  • Washington and the Great War
    Over There: Washington and The Great War May 4, 2014 to January 18, 2015 This award-winning exhibition commemorated the 100th anniversary of World War One, one of the largest and bloodiest conflicts in history, where over 70 million military personnel were mobilized around the world and more than 10 million combatants and 7 million civilians were killed, including several from Washington, CT. Over 100 men and women from Washington, and more than 150 alumni and faculty from The Gunnery served in The Great War. Students in Bart McMann's Artifacts and Archives class at The Gunnery, along with Tom Burger, the 2012-13 Gunn Scholar, conducted research on their school’s involvement in the war and shared their findings in a section of this exhibit. Letters, pictures, and an interesting array of period artifacts from the museum, local families, and collectors, including Peter Tragni and Dr. Robert Jacobs, among others, were used to explore the dramatic experiences of Washington's soldiers, along with the extensive support efforts that were happening on the home front in Washington through such organizations as the Sister Susie Society, the Red Cross, the Women's Land Army, and the Home Guard. All of their fascinating stories were shared in this exhibit and a diverse series of public programs (see below) through the year, sponsored in part by the Connecticut Community Foundation. Art director Chris Zaima, designer Sandy Booth, and painter Keith Templeton, along with a team of other volunteers and staff, created another visual masterpiece. Local history came alive as visitors stepped back in time and explored the lives of Washington's residents during World War One, through their own words, and the impact this war had on our small town.

  • MICHAEL JACKSON : Remembering the King of Pop
    MICHAEL JACKSON : Remembering the King of Pop by Valerie Mikell During an interview at the height of his career, Michael Jackson was asked, “What do you know for sure?” He replied, “I’m still learning…I can’t say I know anything for sure.” By that time, he’d been performing for more than three decades. He’d been crowned The King of Pop. He’d already released the world’s best selling album, which also earned a record-breaking eight Grammys during one show. If someone had asked him that same question little more than a decade later, what would he have replied? Reflecting on the dramatic twists and turns his life had taken, he may have reminded us that he knew he was talented. He knew he was flawed. And he realized that he was only human. Until his sudden passing at the young age of 50, Michael and the world may have forgotten that he was just a man. Much like Michael Jackson, the legends or icons we revere are not born into wealth or fed from birth with a silver spoon. They come from families filled with regular folk who work at ordinary jobs in the hopes of keeping food on the table. What is it that drives the artists and performers we idolize? Is it a need to stand out and showcase their individuality? Is it the obligation to make good of the gifts that have been bestowed upon them? Is it the desire to provide a better life for their families? Many of these things may have contributed to the success of Michael Jackson, who began his musical journey alongside his brothers and whose solo career catapulted himself to mega stardom.
