All that glitters by Gary Boyle Read the following story by Tatat Bunnag from the Bangkok Post. Then, answer the questions that follow. Photo by Pornprom Satrabhaya She may be known as the actress who shot to stardom in the hit 2015 indie movie Freelance, but Violette Wautier says she has always considered herself more as a singer than an actress. In between movies and TV dramas, the former The Voice Thailand contestant kept herself busy, writing and releasing a number of hit singles, as well as collaborating with different artists from Getsunova and Stamp to Max Jenmana and DABOYWAY. In 2018, Violette released her first English language single Drive, topping various charts across the country. This was followed by Smoke, which broke the record for the most-viewed English song performed by a Thai artist with 61 million views. Smoke reached No.1 on the Apple Music Chart in eight countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. Violette recently released her first solo album, Glitter And Smoke. The album includes nine songs of dreamy, synth-based pop music that she composed, reflecting her past experiences and feelings on life, whether it's bright and fun, or about a love that is broken and hurt. We recently spoke with the Thai-Belgian singer about the making of Glitter And Smoke.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

It is utopian. It believes in faeries in so far as many of us are not human. GLITTER, once you’ve been implicated, is impossible to shake; it marks you well into the future and requires that you wear it on your person, even unintentionally. It is a public declaration of affinity. GLITTER is a demonstration. It will happen anywhere it can and many places it can’t. GLITTER is a rental. GLITTER is on the ground with dog shit and other garbage. GLITTER is a strong clear voice. GLITTER is in bad taste and has bad credit. GLITTER is excessive, loud, large, clever, exuberant, open, loving, angry, sharp, indignant, melodramatic, pragmatic, absurd, illegitimate, too-tight as well as baggy as well as over-exposed. GLITTER succeeds from time to time. The success of GLITTER is determined by GLITTER’s own criteria and idea of itself, which is always changing and relative. GLITTER is an aestheticized politics of action.

  • Shimmery Waste: a Queer Critique of the Narratives on Glitter Pollution
    SHIMMERY WASTE: A QUEER CRITIQUE OF THE NARRATIVES ON GLITTER POLLUTION By Vanbasten Noronha de Araújo Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Critical Gender Studies Supervisor: Professor Hyaesin Yoon CEU eTD Collection Second Supervisor: Marianna Szczygielska Budapest, Hungary 2019 CEU eTD Collection Abstract This study explores the relationship between glitter, queer bodies, and the environment, addressing this entanglement through a diffractive investigation that follows the matter/meanings of glitter from manufacture to disposal. In order to rethink the discourses on ‘glitter pollution,’ I rely on new materialist and queer theories that acknowledge the flows of matter/meanings across different bodies and sites. I use glitter as the main matter and figure to conduct this research, structuring my analysis through two axes: the politics of aesthetics and the politics of pollution. Reflecting on the exchange value of shimmery objects and the use of glitter in queer politics of visibility, I critically engage with the visual political economy that is offered by glitter. Regarding aesthetics, I analyze the consumption of glitter by the queer community, having in mind the motivations and meanings that are built around it. First, I address the question of how glitter is taken as a matter/metaphor for visibility within the queer community. Then, I acknowledge the ways this queer use of glitter is criticized from environmental perspectives. Drawing on this juxtaposition of queer and environmental politics, I propose a new perspective, what I call ‘shimmery waste,’ which incorporates both queer and environmental theories.
