Signed: '~"\ ~~Ue6b Alban Webb Declaration: The work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed: Alban Webb ABSTRACT The Second World War had radically changed the focus of the BBC's overseas operation from providing an imperial service in English only, to that of a global broadcaster speaking to the world in over forty different languages. The end of that conflict saw the BBC's External Services, as they became known, re-engineered for a world at peace, but it was not long before splits in the international community caused the postwar geopolitical landscape to shift, plunging the world into a cold war. At the British government's insistence a re-calibration of the External Services' broadcasting remit was undertaken, particularly in its broadcasts to Central and Eastern Europe, to adapt its output to this new and emerging world order.

  • 'Making Such Bargain': Transcribe Bentham and the Quality and Cost
    1 ‘Making such bargain’: Transcribe Bentham and the quality and cost-effectiveness of 2 crowdsourced transcription1 3 Tim Causer,2 Kris Grint,3 Anna-Maria Sichani,4 and Melissa Terras5 4 5 §1. Introduction and context 6 7 Research and cultural heritage institutions have, in recent years, given increasing 8 consideration to crowdsourcing in order to improve access to, and the quality of, their digital 9 resources. Such crowdsourcing tasks take many forms, ranging from tagging, identifying, 10 text-correcting, annotating, and transcribing information, often creating new data in the 11 process. Those considering launching their own cultural heritage crowdsourcing initiative are 12 now able to draw upon a rich body of evaluative research, dealing with the quantity of 13 contributions made by volunteers, the motivations of those who participate in such projects, 14 the establishment and design of crowdsourcing initiatives, and the public engagement value 15 of so doing (Haythornthwaite, 2009; Dunn and Hedges, 2012; Causer and Wallace, 2012; 16 Romeo and Blaser, 2011; Holley, 2009). Scholars have also sought to posit general models 17 for successful crowdsourcing for cultural heritage, and attempts have also made to assess the 18 quality of data produced through such initiatives (Noordegraaf et al, 2014; Causer and Terras, 19 2014b; Dunn and Hedges, 2013; McKinley, 2015; Nottamkandath et al, 2014). All of these 20 studies are enormously important in understanding how to launch and run a successful 21 humanities crowdsourcing programme. However, there is a shortage of detailed evaluations 22 of whether or not humanities crowdsourcing—specifically crowdsourced transcription— 23 produces data of a high enough standard to be used in scholarly work, and whether or not it is 24 an economically viable and sustainable endeavour.

    detail from F-Pn vma ms 1068 | hand of violinist Pierre Baillot | photo by Michael Vincent Introduction to Historical Musicology MUH 5684 Tuesday, Period 3 | Thursday, Periods 3–4 • MUB 232 • Spring 2020 Dr. Michael Vincent • [email protected] • MUB 351 • Thursday & Friday period 5 Please visit me during my office hours. I’m available to discuss our course or issues of professional development. Overview We explore critical approaches to the history of musicology as an academic discipline. The readings provide an overview of fundamental concepts and methodologies, and significant musicological writings representing style periods and conceptual issues. While musicologists traditionally focus on European music in the classical tradition, we will sample scholarship that focuses on a broad range of repertoires. Students will be encouraged to approach the discipline and its history critically. This critical approach will inform your personal work, giving you the tools to investigate your own topic in novel and insightful ways. Each student will choose a “lab rat” at the beginning of the semester: an artistic period, repertoire, performer, social movement, or composer. You will investigate your lab rat using the weekly methodology, diversifying your knowledge of your chosen subject. Your lab rat may grow in unexpected ways as the semester progresses. This course has prerequisites: successful completion of the complete undergraduate music history sequence; graduate student status; and successful completion of the music history entrance exam or the review course. Expectations ❖ Reading You’re expected to come to class having completed all reading on the syllabus for that week. You must be ready to engage with the materials.

  • St James Conservation Area Audit
    ST JAMES’S 17 CONSERVATION AREA AUDIT AREA CONSERVATION Document Title: St James Conservation Area Audit Status: Adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance Document ID No.: 2471 This report is based on a draft prepared by B D P. Following a consultation programme undertaken by the council it was adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance by the Cabinet Member for City Development on 27 November 2002. Published December 2002 © Westminster City Council Department of Planning & Transportation, Development Planning Services, City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP www.westminster.gov.uk PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There are now 53 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents. This enhanced process involves the review of original designation procedures and boundaries; analysis of historical development; identification of all listed buildings and those unlisted buildings making a positive contribution to an area; and the identification and description of key townscape features, including street patterns, trees, open spaces and building types.
