  • Emotion, Action and the Journey of Feelings in the Actor's Mournful
    The Lamenting Brain: Emotion, Action and the Journey of Feelings in the Actor’s Mournful Art Panagiotis Papageorgopoulos Department of Drama and Theatre Royal Holloway College University of London Submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2009 Page | 1 I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the qualification of any other degree or diploma of a University or other institution of higher learning, except where due acknowledgment has been made in the text. 1/12/2009 Panagiotis Papageorgopoulos Page | 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is motivated by the question of how and why actors perform and experience emotion, especially in cases when the emotional demands are as extreme and urgent as in Greek tragedy. In order to answer this question the thesis embarks on two main tasks: (a) to reappraise the position, function and technique of emotion in the work of four key practitioners of twentieth century Western acting (Stanislavski, Meyerhold, Brecht and Grotowski) from the point of view of contemporary neuroscience, and (b) to trace their original paradigm in the professional mourners’ psychotechnique of emotion, as found in ancient and modern Greek ritual lamentation for the dead. The first part of the thesis attempts to reread and reframe twentieth century western acting’s technique of emotion by adopting the radically new neuroscientific paradigm of emotion, which reappraises emotion as a catalytic faculty in the formation of motivation, decision-making, reasoning, action and social interaction.

  • The Crafting of the Sports Broadcasting Act by Denis M
    It Wasn’t a Revolution, but it was Televised: The Crafting of the Sports Broadcasting Act by Denis M. Crawford Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY May, 2017 It Wasn’t a Revolution, but it was Televised: The Crafting of the Sports Broadcasting Act Denis M. Crawford I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Denis M. Crawford, Student Date Approvals: Dr. David Simonelli, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. Donna DeBlasio, Committee Member Date Dr. Thomas Leary, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT This thesis aims to provide historical context for the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 which allowed professional sports teams to collectively negotiate television contracts and equally share in the revenues. According to Immanuel Wallerstein, the state crafting legislation to allow an anticompetitive business practice is an example of a basic contradiction of capitalism being reconciled. Researching the development of the SBA unveils two historically significant narratives. The first is the fact that antitrust legislator Emanuel Celler crafted the act with the intent of providing the National Football League competition although the act unintentionally aided the formation of a professional football monopoly. The other is that the act legalized a collectivist business practice in a time of anticommunist fervor and was written by a legislator with well-documented anticommunist credentials.

  • Vatterott College Opens New Education Center Near Worlds of Fun Campus Relocates to a More Visible Location in the Hunt Midwest Commerce Center
    Vatterott College Opens New Education Center Near Worlds of Fun Campus relocates to a more visible location in the Hunt Midwest Commerce Center KANSAS CITY, Mo – December 12, 2012 – Hunt Midwest Real Estate Development, Inc. has completed a new Vatterott career education center at 4131 N Corrington Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. The new $7.8 million facility sits on a 6.9-acre tract with I-435 highway visibility in the Hunt Midwest Commerce Center, which is located just west of I-435 at NE Parvin Road. The 65,218 square foot facility is modeled after Vatterott’s new design prototype. Classroom and administrative space account for 43,700 square feet and 21,518 square feet is devoted to vocational training in a conditioned warehouse. The campus also features a six-bay automotive and diesel shop as well as expanded parking for 230 vehicles. Hunt Midwest handled build-to-suit construction, which began last March. Vatterott offers instruction in automotive, diesel, welding, wind energy, computer sciences, and electrical heating/ ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) as well as dental, medical, retail and business management programs. The new education center replaces the current Vatterott location at the northwest corner of the Interstate 70/Blue Ridge Cutoff, just across from the Truman Sports Complex. Classes began in mid-November. “We are pleased to welcome Vatterott to the Hunt Midwest Commerce Center,” said Ora Reynolds, president of Hunt Midwest Real Estate Development.” A truck-friendly infrastructure and a number of big truck dealers nearby – including Midway Ford, Westfall GMC Truck/Freightliner and Diamond International – are a great complement to Vatterott’s course offerings in welding and automotive technology.” Hunt Midwest Commerce Center is a 140-acre commercial center located in a 2,500-acre master-planned development adjacent to Hunt Midwest SubTropolis, the world’s largest underground business complex.
