The Gallery attracted 1.76 million visits in 2010/11 and 2.05 million in 2011/12, this was the best annual visitor figure in our history and the first time we have received over two million visits. The BP Portrait Award in both 2010 and 2011 attracted, on average, over 3,000 visitors a day – in 2011 341,000 visitors saw the exhibition, making it the most popular we have ever displayed. The Indian Portrait was a great success, receiving over 139,000 visitors, 82% over the expected visitor figure and Glamour of the Gods attracted over 87,000 visitors, 60% above target. Research results indicate that the Gallery continues to attract new and diverse audiences; since March 2010, 51% of visitors were first time attenders and 12% were from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) groups. Enjoyment and satisfaction levels remain high, with 97% rating their visit ‘good’ or ‘excellent’. 92% of visitors said that they would be likely to return in the future and 97% said that they would recommend a visit to the Gallery. Marketing The ‘Take another look’ marketing campaign won a series of accolades including a silver award at the DBA Design Awards 2011.

ABSTRACT From the 1970s the emergence of religion and spirituality in psychoanalysis is a unique development, given its traditional pathologizing stance. This research examines how and why ‘sacred psychoanalysis’ came about and whether this represents a new analytic movement with definable features or a diffuse phenomena within psychoanalysis that parallels developments elsewhere. After identifying the research context, a discussion of definitions and qualitative reflexive methodology follows. An account of religious and spiritual engagement in psychoanalysis in the UK and the USA provides a narrative of key people and texts, with a focus on the theoretical foundations established by Winnicott and Bion. This leads to a detailed examination of the literary narratives of religious and spiritual engagement understood from: Christian; Natural; Maternal; Jewish; Buddhist; Hindu; Muslim; Mystical; and Intersubjective perspectives, synthesized into an interpretative framework of sacred psychoanalysis.

    How Women Excelled at the BBC, 1923–1939

    MIA0010.1177/1329878X16664998Media International AustraliaMurphy 664998review-article2016 Review Essay Media International Australia 1 –10 ‘New and important careers’: © The Author(s) 2016 Reprints and permissions: how women excelled at the sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1329878X16664998 BBC, 1923–1939 mia.sagepub.com Kate Murphy Bournemouth University, UK Abstract From its beginnings in 1923, the BBC employed a sizeable female workforce. The majority were in support roles as typists, secretaries and clerks but, during the 1920s and 1930s, a significant number held important posts. As a modern industry, the BBC took a largely progressive approach towards the ‘career women’ on its staff, many of whom were in jobs that were developed specifically for the new medium of broadcasting. Women worked as drama producers, advertising representatives and Children’s Hour Organisers. They were talent spotters, press officers and documentary makers. Three women attained Director status while others held significant administrative positions. This article considers in what ways it was the modernity and novelty of broadcasting, combined with changing employment possibilities and attitudes towards women evident after the First World War, that combined to create the conditions in which they could excel. Keywords BBC, employment, history, interwar, radio, women Introduction In the conclusion to her chapter on women in the BBC in Women in Top Jobs, the sociologist Isobel Allen queried ‘whether women had done as well in the BBC as might be expected’ (Fogarty et al., 1971: 214). She pointed out that most of the very senior women were about to retire with no obvi- ous female successors. ‘There is certainly no reason to imagine’, she continued, ‘that anything like the situation in the early 1930s, when almost half the departmental heads in the BBC were women, could be repeated in the near future’ (Fogarty et al., 1971: 214).

    PARKSVILLE QUALICUM RETIRED TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER #9 – September 2017 PRESIDENT’S GREETING from Cathy Van Herwaarden: How about this summer??? It just goes on and on and on!!! However, hearing those early evening crickets always reminds me of going back to school. Did anyone else notice that there was always a cricket or two that would get into the school to keep you company while getting the classroom ready for the beginning of school? Probably a long, lost memory now! BCTF President – Glen Hansman As we approach the beginning of a new school year, disturbing signs of a resurgent neo-Nazi, white supremacist movement have got teachers talking about how best to confront these toxic forces and their potential impact on our students. It’s a dilemma we have faced over the decades. Here’s an excerpt from an article in the April 1943 issue of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation magazine: “In a very special sense, the teachers are involved in this great conflict, for they in themselves carry the light of learning and the torch of freedom — which Nazism and Fascism seek to extinguish — for if these tyrannies succeed, education ceases and propaganda takes its place. Between these two conceptions lies the world of difference between democracy and dictatorship. There can be no meeting place or compromise between them.” From the Second World War to Charlottesville, we are reminded how critically important it is to continue educating young people to understand that “world of difference between democracy and dictatorship.” B.C. teachers have a lot of experience with anti-racist education.

It has assumed a central and vital role on the cultural stage, with a history that spans the most inventive decades in fashion and taste, and in the arts and society. Published to mark the magazine’s centenary, and accompanying a major exhibition, this book celebrates the twentieth century and beyond with an authoritative and discriminating eye. In more than 2,000 issues, British Vogue has acted as a cultural barometer, putting fashion in the context of the wider world – how we dress, how we entertain, what we eat, listen to, watch, who leads us, excites us and inspires us. The century’s most talented photographers, Lee Miller, Norman Parkinson, Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, David Bailey, Snowdon and Mario Testino among them, have contributed to it. In 1916, when the First World War made transatlantic shipments of American Vogue impossible, its proprietor, Condé Nast, authorised a British edition.
