Radio Manual FINAL ABC Layout 1.Qxd TEACHING RADIO JOURNALISTS TO REPORT ON HIV A Manual for Trainers We need doctors and nurses to provide treatment, ‘but when it comes to HIV prevention more lives will be saved by journalists, teachers and politicians. ̶ DR. PETER PIOT, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,’ UNAIDS TEACHING RADIO JOURNALISTS TO REPORT ON HIV A Manual for Trainers Edited by Mia Malan Published by Internews Network’s Local Voices program in September 2008, Washington, D.C. www.internews.org +1 202-833-5740 Introduction Dear Trainer, This manual consists of lesson plans, exercises, and a training agenda developed by Internews Networks’ Local Voices programs to train radio journalists in HIV reporting. We hope this train- ing manual will help you to develop your own training program. At least 70% of these training exercises focus on teaching such radio reporting skills as inter- viewing, scriptwriting, digital sound editing, and sound recording. The rest focuses on HIV-spe- cific skills, such as language use and developing HIV knowledge. The Local Voices program is convinced that journalists will only be able to use HIV knowledge on radio effectively if they’re given the opportunity to also develop their storytelling and reporting skills. The CD that accompanies this manual contains all the training exercises and lesson plans in the manual. This enables you to adapt them to your region and training needs. The CD also con- tains sound used in some of the exercises. Chapter 5 contains a training agenda that works well for seven-day training workshops. You can either use it as a set agenda, or adjust it to better suit your needs. The exercises and lesson plans that are referred to in the training agenda are explained step by step in the different chapters of this manual. The hand-outs and answer sheets that you will need to carry out some of the exercises are also provided. As a trainer, you may have your own training methods and preferences. This manual does not intend to prescribe to you how to train but rather to assist you with useful workshop exercises, guidelines, and insight into a training method that has worked well in Kenya, Nigeria, and India. Should you require any additional information, please contact Internews at [email protected]. This manual is also available on the Internews website at www.internews.org. We wish you all the best with your HIV journalism training workshops and trust that they will equip journalists to tell stories that change people’s lives for the better.

  • Steve Reich's Phases of Phases: a Comparison of Electric
    Steve Reich’s Phases of Phases: A Comparison of Electric Counterpoint and Radio Rewrite Erin Main, May 12th, 2016 21M.260, WC: 3478 Introduction. Minimalism developed primarily during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s amidst a rising counterculture in America. Minimalist artists in the 50s defied expectations of what “art” should be; one example is the color fields of artists such as Ad Reinhardt.1 Minimalist artists focused on the very deliberate creation of works that were comprised of the smallest amount of discernible qualities; with the aforementioned color fields, the viewer was intended to observe the minutiae of the brush strokes of the artist.2 In the mid-60s, minimalist music also started to take hold, driven by the efforts of composers Terry Riley, La Monte Young, Philip Glass, and Steve Reich.3 Reich is well-known for pioneering process-based music, as established in his 1968 essay “Music as a Gradual Process.”4 Process-based music is characterized by its minimal amount of material, with development (a musical process) occurring through changes in the material over a period of time.5 Reich’s most prominent type of process is phase shifting, which involves “placing a simple repeating pattern in different combinations with itself.”6 Due to the very nature of process-based composition, Reich’s music has a “structurally lucid aesthetic,” as the material 1 Jonathan W.

  • Steve Reich Selected Reviews
    Steve Reich Selected Reviews Runner – Royal Ballet Royal Opera House (November 2016) “McGregor pairs Reich’s 1965 looped tape composition It’s Gonna Rain with Runner, a piece written 50 years later. The first piece is fractured and apocalyptic (a preacher is predicting the end of the world after all), while the second – the new Reich – is hopeful, harmonic, healing… McGregor’s choreography segues from frantic exposition, almost automated in its pained realisation of impending disaster, to a more sumptuous expression of humanity and haven.” – Debra Craine, The Times **** “… Runner is a calmly luminous orchestral piece with the pulsating, propulsive rhythms that animate much of Mr Reich’s music. Here, coloured lights play across the grid, and a line of dancers spools in silhouette along one wall, as duets, trios and larger groupings mutate centre stage.” – Roslyn Sulcas, The New York Times Pulse – International Contemporary Ensemble Carnegie Hall (November 2016) “Beauty is a consistent quality of Reich’s recent music, and the most beautiful of all has to be Pulse , which was simple and luminous… At the bottom of Pulse was a constant eight-note throb from an electric bass through shifting meters. On top, there was a marvellous long-limbed, lyrical melody, repeated at times in tutti, at others in a closely mirrored canon.” – George Grella , New York Classical Review “Pulse , for small ensemble, begins with the strings making swooping lyrical lines, as at the start of Appalachian Spring : The mood is one of emerging, rising. A gentle, yes, pulse – quick but not pounding – emerges behind it, soon joined by a meatier, lower throb in the electric bass.” – Zachary Woolfe , The New York Times “If there has long been a sense that Reich’s early work is his best, the European premiere of Pulse (2016), given by Britten Sinfonia as the centrepiece of the first day of Steve Reich at 80, gives pause for thought.

  • The Pleasure of the Intertext: Towards a Cognitive Poetics of Adaptation
    !1 THE PLEASURE OF THE INTERTEXT: TOWARDS A COGNITIVE POETICS OF ADAPTATION A dissertation presented by Meg Tarquinio to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April, 2017 !2 THE PLEASURE OF THE INTERTEXT: TOWARDS A COGNITIVE POETICS OF ADAPTATION by Meg Tarquinio ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Literature in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April, 2017 !3 ABSTRACT The field of adaptation studies has been diagnosed as lacking consensus around its main tenets, especially those that would build a strong ontological foundation. This study participates in the burgeoning critical approach that places cognitive science in conversation with literary theory, looking towards the start of a cognitive turn in adaptation studies. Specifically, I offer the axiom that adaptations are analogies. In other words, I advance the original argument that adaptations are the textual expression of the cognitive function of analogy. Here, I’m using a cognitive theory of analogy as the partial mapping of knowledge (objects and relations) from a source domain to a target domain. From this vantage point, I reassess the theoretical tensions and analytical practices of adaptation studies. For instance, the idea of essence is an anathema within academic studies of adaptation, yet it continues to hold sway within popular discourse. My approach allows for a productive return to essence, not as some mystical quality inherent in an original text and then indescribably transmitted to its adaptation, but as the expression of a key sub-process of analogical reasoning – what Douglas Hofstadter refers to, conveniently, as “essence” or “gist extraction.” This line of argument demonstrates the degree to which André Bazin’s 1948 theorization of adaptation is in line with this cognitive version of essence.

  • "Electric Counterpoint" for Marimba and Vibraphone
    Adapting Reich’s “Electric Counterpoint” for Marimba and Vibraphone By James W. Doyle he minimalist work “Electric Counterpoint” was commissioned by the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Next Wave Festival and composed for gui- tarist Pat Metheny in 1987 by Steve Reich.1 The piece followed “Vermont Counterpoint” (1982) for flute and “New York Counterpoint” (1985) Tfor clarinet, completing a series of works for soloist performing with self-made prerecorded tracks.2 Metheny’s recording of the work was featured on the album Different Trains. Reich composed the work for either 12 pre-recorded parts and live performer, or soloist and guitar ensemble. Percussionist Svet Stoyanov arranged and recorded “Electric Counterpoint” in 2008 for marimba and vibraphone, and percussionist Kuniko Kato arranged and recorded the composition in 2009–10 utilizing steel pans, marimba, and vibra- phone. Jonny Greenwood, guitarist with the band Radiohead, also recorded the work, ultimately leading to Reich’s discovery of Radiohead’s music and his subse- quent composition, “Radio Rewrite.”3 The three-movement work, Fast-Slow-Fast, each performed without pause, is a frequently-used form by Reich. RECORDING Following a similar recording adaptation as Stoyanov, I prepared and prere- corded the parts in January 2015 for live performance. The first movement, pre- recorded and performed exclusively on marimba, begins with a gently-swelling introduction that transitions into developing constructs based on Reich’s study of Central African horn music.4 The second movement is a slow counterpoint primarily prerecorded and performed on vibraphone with swelling harmonies on prerecorded bass marimba. The final movement combines marimba and -vi braphone and alternates between E minor and C minor, as well as 3/2 and 12/8 approach for the microphones with a brighter microphone for the low end and a meters.
