It does not reflect a formal position of the European Commission and is prone to iterations following discussions and comments from the Community of Users 6 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In a world facing a growing risk of man-made and natural disasters resulting from increasingly frequent and severe natural, industrial and man-made hazards, the security of citizens, infrastructure and assets and the environment protection have become a high priority in the European Union. Strengthening capacities in disaster risk / crisis management and improving resilience in the fields of CBRN-E (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive) and natural and man-made disaster management, as well as in the areas of border security and the fight against crime and terrorism, represent key EU policy and research challenges. The overall EU security policy framework covers many different sectors, which require coordination among various communities. In this respect, policy development and implementation rely on effective interactions among policy-makers, research, industry (including SMEs) and operational actors (first responders, civil protection units, police forces etc.) in the EU Member States. This requires a proper exchange of information and communication about either policy updates or (research) project results, which should be tailor-made to different sectors concerned with the goal of enhancing the transfer of research solutions or new policy recommendations to users in a timely and relevant fashion. Such exchanges are also needed to identify and address users' needs regarding research, technologies and policies, in order to better design funding programmes at an EU level. Finally, a proper transfer of knowledge from research to policy and operational sectors may have a positive impact on policy formulation and review. However, the policy complexity, the high number of research projects, the difficulties associated with bringing innovative tools to the market and the lack of "interfacing" mechanisms make it difficult to efficiently reach these goals. In order to improve this situation, the European Commission is funding various types of projects, including large- scale demonstration projects. In the field of Disaster Risk and Crisis Management (including CBRN-E, natural and man-made disasters), large-scale projects have helped build a critical mass by federating efforts at an EU level, namely "EDEN" and "DRIVER", as well as other projects which have an "interfacing" component. These projects, along with different policy committees and think-tanks, develop networks with user's groups in the Member States which have great potential but are currently too fragmented. In this respect, the need to build a “Community of Users” in the EU based on existing user's communities has been expressed in various fora.

  • Wagner Oct 04.Indd
    Wagner Society in NSW Inc. Newsletter No. 98, November 2004 IN NEW SOUTH WALES INC. President’s Report Dear Members Neidhardt Ring This is our final Newsletter for 2004, and in less than 4 weeks the first cycle of the Neidhardt Ring in Adelaide will begin. This is an historic and monumental undertaking for the State Opera of South Australia, and we in the Eastern States, who cannot hope to dine on such exalted operatic fare in our own cities, will once again pilgrimage to Adelaide and its Festival Hall. In his review of Ring productions at our July meeting, Dr Antony Ernst mentioned that many opera companies are destroyed by the demands of staging the Ring, as moths to a flame, and we must all hope that this is emphatically not the case for the State Opera of South Australia. Some stagings of the Ring disappear forever after their first performances, and again we must all hope that this can be revived in Adelaide, or perhaps staged in other cities here and overseas. This Ring is being characterised by some commentators as the first truly Australian Ring, but I prefer to follow the Bayreuth tradition by naming this Ring after its producer, Elke Neidhardt. “Nach Adelaide!” Society Events PLEASE NOTE: In response to many requests over the last few years, the Management Committee has decided that all functions for 2005 will begin at 2:00PM. On Sunday 19 September, Dr Jim Leigh spoke about different recordings of the Ring and introduced the film made in November 1964 of the recording of the Solti Gotterdammerung in the Sofiensaal, Vienna.

Sep. 2021 Zombie Parsifal: Undead Walkers and Post-apocalyptic Stagings melissa kagen bangor university This essay locates zombies in Wagner’s Parsifal, interpreting them within the work’s original nineteenth-century context and reading recent productions in light of contemporary zombie studies. Immediately, a question arises: why zombies? Perhaps Kundry, the wandering Jewess, could be seen as an undead wanderer. Parsifal, too, is cursed to wander past endurance, and Amfortas clearly suffers from an inconvenient and painful immortality.

  • European Train Names: a Historic Outline Christian Weyers
    ONOMÀSTICA BIBLIOTECA TÈCNICA DE POLÍTICA LINGÜÍSTICA European Train Names: a Historic Outline* Christian Weyers DOI: 10.2436/15.8040.01.201 Abstract This paper gives a first overview of the onomastic category of train names, searches to classify the corpus and reviews different stages of their productivity. Apart from geographical names (toponyms, choronyms, compass directions) generally indicating points of origin and destination of the trains in question, a considerable number of personal names have entered this category, of classical literary authors, musicians and scientists, but also of many fictional or non-fictional characters taken from literature or legendary traditions. In some cases also certain symbolic attributes of these persons and finally even heraldic figures have given their names to trains. In terms of their functionality, train names originally were an indicator of exclusiveness and high grade of travel quality, but they developed gradually, as they dispersed over the European continent, into a rather unspecific, generalized appellation, also for regional and local trains. After two periods of prosperity after 1950, the privatisation of railway companies starting in the 1990s had again a very positive effect on the category, as the number of named trains initially reached a new record in this decade. ***** The first train names appeared in England in the 1860s in addition to names for steam locomotives, and on two different levels. The Special Scotch Express between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh (inaugurated in 1862) was called by the public The Flying Scotsman from the 1870s, but it succeeded as the official name not before 1924. Also the names of the German diesel trainsets Der Fliegende Hamburger and Der Fliegende Kölner were colloquial name creations, as were the Train Bleu and the Settebello operated from 1922 and 1953 but officially named in 1947 and 1958, respectively.

  • Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years
    BRANDING BRUSSELS MUSICALLY: COSMOPOLITANISM AND NATIONALISM IN THE INTERWAR YEARS Catherine A. Hughes A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Mark Evan Bonds Valérie Dufour John L. Nádas Chérie Rivers Ndaliko © 2015 Catherine A. Hughes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Catherine A. Hughes: Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) In Belgium, constructions of musical life in Brussels between the World Wars varied widely: some viewed the city as a major musical center, and others framed the city as a peripheral space to its larger neighbors. Both views, however, based the city’s identity on an intense interest in new foreign music, with works by Belgian composers taking a secondary importance. This modern and cosmopolitan concept of cultural achievement offered an alternative to the more traditional model of national identity as being built solely on creations by native artists sharing local traditions. Such a model eluded a country with competing ethnic groups: the Francophone Walloons in the south and the Flemish in the north. Openness to a wide variety of music became a hallmark of the capital’s cultural identity. As a result, the forces of Belgian cultural identity, patriotism, internationalism, interest in foreign culture, and conflicting views of modern music complicated the construction of Belgian cultural identity through music. By focusing on the work of the four central people in the network of organizers, patrons, and performers that sustained the art music culture in the Belgian capital, this dissertation challenges assumptions about construction of musical culture.

  • Degenerate Religion and Masculinity in Parsifal Reception
    Degenerate Religion and Masculinity in Parsifal Reception James Kennaway Our future historians will cull from still unpublished letters and memoirs ... the idea that the performances at Bayreuth had really much the status of religious rites and that their effects were not unlike what is technically called a revival. -Vernon Lee (1911: 875) The idea that there is something religious about Bayreuth is not new, and goes well beyond cliches about opera houses as the "cathedrals of the bourgeoisie:' The words used to describe the festival by Wagnerians and anti -Wagnerians alike have often been consciously religious. One makes a pilgrimage to the holy site, there are acolytes who serve the holy work and the orthodoxy, her­ etics are excommunicated-the comparisons are all too obvious. Friedrich Nietzsche referred to this phenomenon in a letter to his friend Malwida von Meysenburg when he suggested that "all this Wagnerizing" was "an unconscious emulation of Rome" (Fischer-Dieskau 1974:202). Even in more recent times, after the moral, ideological, and organizational disasters that the festival was caught up in during the twentieth century, the skies above the Festspielhaus were scoured for signs of the white smoke announcing which member of the dysfunctional clan was to succeed the composer's grandson Wolfgang Wagner. If this musical Vatican has a central rite, it is surely Parsifal. Not an opera or a music drama but a "Biihnenweihfestspiel" (a "stage-festival­ consecration-play"), Wagner's last work leaves the cheerful paganism of the Ring far behind.l The composer had toyed with aspects of Christianity as far back as Tannhiiuser, but in Parsifal he went much further, almost to the point, many believed, of creating opera as sacrament.

  • An Exploration of Doppelganger As Found in the Music and Text Of
    ii © 2008 Terri L. Brown All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan L. Chambers, Advisor This study explores the use of, and reaction to, the music used in Susan Glaspell’s The Verge. Through close textual and musical analysis, and by extension, historical investigation, the argument is made that Glaspell’s The Verge is a virtual “shadow” play, or doppelganger, of Jacques Offenbach’s opera The Tales of Hoffman, from which some of the music is taken. The exploration further contends that through the use of the hymn, Nearer, My God, To Thee, by Lowell Mason and Sarah Flower Adams, Glaspell also extends a vision of gender relations that reaches far beyond Hoffman’s misogynistic, patriarchal space insofar as it creates a compellingly powerful religious viewpoint: an embodiment of the Christian Godhead, as a precursor to the late twentieth century social and existential feminist perspective. iv The dissertation is dedicated to my wonderful husband and eternal companion David, and my two beautiful daughters, Madison and Mackenzie, who have personally sacrificed more than anyone could ever know to help me achieve my personal goals. I will be forever grateful to each of you, now and always. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank all those who have helped me complete this monumental task: to Jonathan Chambers for being not only a great advisor, teacher, writer, and scholar, but for being a wonderful human being throughout the process; to Ronald Shields and Lesa Lockford for helping me believe that I could actually do this; to Scott Robinson, Department Chair of Theatre Arts at Central Washington University, for his constant support, both personally and professionally – I will follow you anywhere; to Leslee Caul, my incredibly talented editor, and colleague – but most of all, my friend.
