  • Interpreting in the Zone
    3 The Interpreter in the Zone (and Other Zones) Interpreting requires a high degree of concentration and engagement in the moment, and the results of the two studies indicate that this type of intense attention can lead to an in-the-zone experience. As introduced in Chapter 1, being “in the zone” is an exhilarating experience in which people are completely absorbed in what they are doing and are perform- ing at their best. Their skills and judgment rise to the challenges before them, and they experience a state of euphoria. Being in the Zone Professionals, artists, performers, athletes, and others report having in- the-zone (flow) experiences. Csikszentmihalyi1 clarifies what allows for this type of experience to occur by explaining, The optimal state of inner experience . [is one] in which there is order to consciousness. This happens when psychic energy—or attention—is invested in realistic goals, and when skills match the opportunities for action. The pursuit of a goal brings order in awareness because a person must concen- trate attention on the task at hand and momentarily forget everything else. These periods of struggling to overcome challenges are what people find to be the most enjoyable times of their lives.2 In-the-zone experiences are characterized by intense attention and the suc- cessful application of skills, expertise, and decision-making, which allow one to overcome challenges and to feel good about that accomplishment. Csikszentmihalyi explains that there are three primary characteristics of flow: the complexity of the experience, the pleasure of the experience, and its contribution to one’s ability to grow and develop.

  • Getting in the Zone, Part 1: Flow and Finding a State of Peak Performance
    MINDFUL VOICE Lynn Helding, Associate Editor Getting in the Zone, Part 1: Flow and Finding a State of Peak Performance Sean McCarther eople call it different names: in the zone, in the groove, on fire, in the moment, present, unified, tuned in, a high, a rush. All these terms describe a similar sensation. One of my first experiences of being “in the zone” was at the finals for a NATS competition Pduring my senior year of undergraduate studies. I was singing Papageno’s suicide aria from Die Zauberflöte, and, near the beginning of the aria, made a reaching gesture with my right hand. I remember watching my hand and arm shake violently and a sense of terror crept over me. In that moment, a Sean McCarther very simple thought came to me: “No.” My hand stopped shaking, my mind focused on the moment at hand, and I experienced a fascinating connection with the world around me. It was as if I could feel the audience, my pianist, and the music as never before. Time slowed down and I felt a unification of body, mind, and voice. It was as if I could do no wrong. And, in the blink of an eye, the aria was over. It was some of the most fun I had ever had performing. “This,” I said to myself. “I want more of this.” I later learned that what I had experienced is what Hungarian-born psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi calls “flow.” MIHALY CSIKSZENTMIHALYI AND THE CONCEPT OF FLOW For the first decade or so of his career Csikszentmihalyi’s primary focus was on the study of creativity.

  • Dissociative Phenomena in the Everyday Lives of Trauma Survivors
    DISSOCIATIVE PHENOMENA IN THE EVERYDAY LIVES OF TRAUMA SURVIVORS Janina Fisher, Ph.D. Private Practice, Watertown, Mass. Instructor and Supervisor, The Trauma Center, Boston, Massachusetts Paper presented at the Boston University Medical School Psychological Trauma Conference, May 2001 Interest in dissociation, as a mental ability and as a set of symptoms secondary to trauma, has re-vitalized in the past ten years following a one hundred year hiatus between the work of Janet and the work of the pioneers in the field of trauma in the 1980s and 90s (van der Kolk, 1997; Putnam, 1999; Chu, 1998). Although we have a better understanding of dissociation now than we did ten years ago, it is still a very controversial subject in the field of mental health because it is so routinely equated with Dissociative Identity Disorder. As a result, even experienced clinicians miss the frequent more subtle presentations that appear in our offices on a daily basis. If we look instead to understand dissociation as we would any other mental state phenomenon, we will begin to see that all human beings dissociate, and much of our dissociativeness is adaptive. Formally, the term “dissociation” refers to “a disruption of the normal integration of experience” (Chu, 1998). In DSM-IV, it is defined in terms of its role as the essential feature in the dissociative disorders as a “disruption the usually integrated functions of consciousness, memory, identity, or perception of the environment” (American Psychiatric Association, 1994, p. 477). This disruption of “normal integration” has many adaptive, as well as pathological, consequences. Thus, another way of understanding dissociation is to look at the adaptive functions it serves.

  • Capturing That Solid-Gold Nugget
    Chapter 1 Capturing That Solid-Gold Nugget In This Chapter ▶ Gathering song ideas from anywhere ▶ Organizing and tracking your thoughts and inspirations ▶ Documenting your ideas his book is for everyone who shares the dream of harnessing the song- Twriting power we all have within. You’ve come to the right place if your heart keeps telling you to write a song, but your mind is uncertain as to the process of the craft or what’s required to create a really good song. You bought the right book if you’re wondering how to collect and organize your ideas. You have found the right resource if you have pieces of songs lying in notebooks and on countless cassettes but can’t seem to put the pieces together. This book is for you if you have racks of finished song demos but don’t know what to do next to get them heard. When you know the elements that make up a great song and how the pros go about writing one, you can get on the right path to creating one of your own. Unless you’re lucky enough to have fully finished songs come to you in your deepest dreams, or to somehow take dictation from the ghosts of Tin Pan Alley (the publishing area located in New York City in the 1930s and 1940s), most of us need to summon the forces, sources, reasons, and seasons that give us the necessary motivation to draw a song from our heart of hearts. Given that initial spark, you then need the best means of gathering those ideas, organizing them, putting them into form, and documenting them as they roll COPYRIGHTEDin — before it’s too late and they MATERIAL roll right out again! Have you ever noticed how you can remember a powerful dream just after you’ve awakened only for it to vanish into thin air in the light of day? Song ideas can be just as illusive.

  • Queer Identities and Glee
    IDENTITY AND SOLIDARITY IN ONLINE COMMUNITIES: QUEER IDENITIES AND GLEE Katie M. Buckley A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music August 2014 Committee: Katherine Meizel, Advisor Kara Attrep Megan Rancier © 2014 Katie Buckley All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine Meizel, Advisor Glee, a popular FOX television show that began airing in 2009, has continuously pushed the limits of what is acceptable on American television. This musical comedy, focusing on a high school glee club, incorporates numerous stereotypes and real-world teenage struggles. This thesis focuses on the queer characteristics of four female personalities: Santana, Brittany, Coach Beiste, and Coach Sue. I investigate how their musical performances are producing a constructive form of mass media by challenging hegemonic femininity through camp and by producing relatable queer female role models. In addition, I take an ethnographic approach by examining online fan blogs from the host site Tumblr. By reading the blogs as a digital archive and interviewing the bloggers, I show the positive and negative effects of an online community and the impact this show has had on queer girls, allies, and their worldviews. iv This work is dedicated to any queer human being who ever felt alone as a teenager. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my greatest thanks to my teacher and advisor, Dr. Meizel, for all of her support through the writing of this thesis and for always asking the right questions to keep me thinking. I would also like to thank Dr.

  • Thesis Writing Deliverables (Pdf)
    DEFENSE SPEECH Discovering and listening to music has always been my biggest passion in life and my primary way of coping with my emotions. I think its main appeal to me since childhood has been the comfort it brings in knowing that at some point in time, another human felt the same thing as me and was able to survive and express it by making something beautiful. For my project, I recorded a 9 track album called Strange Machines while I was on leave of absence last year. This term, I created a 20 minute extended music video to accompany it. All of this lives on a page I coded on my personal website with some fun bonus content that I’ll scroll through at the end of this presentation. I’ll put the link in the comments so anyone who’s interested can check it out at their own pace. I have so much fun making music and feel proud when I have a cohesive finished product at the end. I’m not interested in becoming a virtuoso musician or a professional producer. A lot of trained musicians gatekeep, intimidate, and discourage amateurs. People mystify and mythologize the creative process as if it’s the product of some elusive, innate genius rather than practice, experimentation, and a simple love of music. As someone who’s work exists entirely as digital recordings, there’s no inherent reason for me to be an amazing guitar player who can play a song perfectly all the way through, as mistakes can be easily cut out and re-recorded.
