Hotel Mvenpick Geneva-Meyrin Even in 1980, there was a light-hearted suggestion that Geneva Hotel President Wilson should one day host FEATS. We have always resisted this tempting thought because Geneva has not had a theatre suitable for such a Kraft Jacobs Suchard AG festival, until relatively recently when the theatre you are currently Lombard Odier & Cie in was built and became available for bookings. Northern Assurance Therefore we are delighted to welcome you to the first Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Societies to be held on Helvetic Pictet & Cie soil. We hope the Forum Theatre will prove as congenial a venue Tupperware Suisse SA as those in which we ourselves have spent so many happy and rewarding hours elsewhere in Europe. Union Carbide Europe SA Geneva is as yet FEATS' most southerly location, away from the Ville de Meyrin regular circuit of Brussels, Antwerp, The Hague, Luxembourg and Frankfurt. Friends of FEATS'99 We would like to record our grateful appreciation to our sponsors and Friends of FEATS'99 for their generous support. Willy Anderhub It is a great pleasure to have Mr Scott Marshall as our adjudicator Pauline Colquhoun and we extend a warm welcome to him and to Olivia, his wife. Therese Draper The Semi-Circle from Basel is a newcomer this year and we warmly welcome them. Of course we are delighted that so many of our Janet Mutlow "old" theatre friends from around Europe have travelled from near Anna-Maria Onorini and far. FEATS always needs new blood on stage and new groups: some of us still remember the excitement in 1980 of finding that Diana Ratcliff-Grosfillier there really were other anglophone theatrical people on the Greg Smith Continent and that GEDS, while still claiming to be one of the And those who wish oldest groups, was not alone! to remain anonymous We all look forward to an exciting four days of theatre, from both the competitive pieces and the Fringe.

Chairman, FEATS'99 Chairman, GEDS 2 feats 99 The Adjudicator geneva FESTIVAL OF EUROPEAN ANGLOPHONETHEATRICALSOCIETIES Scott Marshall MA LGSM GODA FRSA Scott Marshall began his career in a BBC broadcast at the age of nine and has been involved in all aspects of drama ever since. Recently invited to become a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts, he has been an actor, producer, critic and lecturer in theatre. He has been elected twice to serve on the ruling council of the Guild of Drama Adjudicators GODA, an organisation of which he has been a member for over twenty years. Scott has adjudicated the British All-Winners Final four times in the last fourteen years and, as well as doing the Scottish Final this year, he has been pre-booked to adjudicate the English Final in 2000. He has been a tutor at the Drama League of Ireland Summer School over a number of years and was one of the four tutors invited to launch a similar school run by the Scottish Drama Association at Dunbiane, Stirlingshire. Scott is one of the most widely sought after adjudicators on the festival circuit throughout the British Isles and further afield, recently adjudicating in Gibraltar and Muscat, Oman. This will be the fifth time he has adjudicated FEATS, having officiated at Brussels 1984, The Hague 1986, Luxembourg 1989 and Zoetermeer 1995. Formerly a lecturer in English Literature and Headmaster of The Grange School, an independent HMC school of over 1,000 pupils in Hartford, Cheshire, he is married with two sons. Early retirement has given him the freedom to devote all of his time to theatre. He now directs, conducts workshops and, turning full circle, reviews on BBC radio.

M. Barrie, Peter Pan Bron: He’s just a lost boy. Hilary: This isn’t Never Never Land. —Alan Bennett, The Old Country One of Freud’s fundamental insights is that the human psyche develops through a process by which the individual confronts and seeks to compensate for the frustration of his or her desires. Through the whole spectrum of human activities, from the destructively neurotic to the healthy, we try to come to terms with the fact that some of our desires have not been, and perhaps never will be, satisfied.

  • Explanatory Report to the European Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Decisions Concerning Custody of Children and on Restoration of Custody of Children
    European Treaty Series - No. 105 Explanatory Report to the European Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Decisions concerning Custody of Children and on Restoration of Custody of Children Luxembourg, 20.V.1980 I. The European Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Decisions concerning Custody of Children and on Restoration of Custody of Children, drawn up within the Council of Europe by a committee of governmental experts under the authority of the European Committee on Legal Co-operation (CDCJ), was opened for signature by the member States of the Council of Europe on 20 May 1980 in Luxembourg on the occasion of the 12th Conference of European Ministers of Justice. II. The text of the explanatory report prepared by the committee of experts and submitted to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, as amended and completed by the CCJ, does not constitute an instrument providing an authoritative interpretation of the Convention, although it might be of such nature as to facilitate the application of the provisions contained therein. Introduction 1 In 1972, at their 7th Conference (Basle, 15-18 May 1972) the European Ministers of Justice examined ways of improving co-operation concerning the guardianship and custody of children on the basis of a report presented by Mr Christian Broda, Austrian Minister of Justice. 2. In that report the Minister dwelt, inter alia, on the necessity of ad. equate protection of children and the need to ensure the recognition and enforcement in foreign States of national judgments governing custody. In its Resolution No. 1, the Conference recommended that the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe should ask the European Committee on Legal Co-operation (CDCJ) to study forms of co-operation among the member States with a view to children being afforded increased international protection based solely on their welfare.

  • Educating Rita: to Educate - Transitive Or Intransitive Verb?
    Educating Rita: to educate - transitive or intransitive verb? Carmem Diva Rodrigues Jorge Wilson PUC-Rio One of the hazards of globalisation is the increase of competition at the work place. In fact, the more competitive the market, the more education one seems to require in order to succeed. It follows that, in the past decades, continuous education became a fundamental feature in most technological societies. Consequently, more and more adults are going back to school hoping that education will help them escape the terrible fear of being left behind. It does not matter the age of the learner, the learning process should always be pictured as a social practice, i.e., learning takes place when social subjects negotiate knowledge through social action. Thus, by taking into consideration the socio-constructivist approach to learning and the systemic-functional approach to language I will investigate the learning process that takes place in the fictional story by 10.17771/PUCRio.PDPe.8504 Willy Russel - Educating Rita. I will be looking into important issues, such as: the real agent of the process of education, learner autonomy, power relation between teacher and student, reproduction of social practices and the voices of the participants involved in the process of learning. Key Words: learner autonomy, social practice, social identity, community of practice. BRIEF INTRODUCTION “Our social context teaches us our language, and language makes us ourselves” (Richardson, 1992, 117). Although some linguists still believe that one can actually study language dissociated from its social context, in this paper I will claim that, as social beings, we use language for social interaction and that, consequently, learning should be seen as a social practice.

  • Contemporary British Coming-Of-Age Films (1979 to the Present)
    1 Contemporary British Coming-of-Age Films (1979 to the Present) Philippa Zielfa Maslin A thesis submitted to Royal Holloway, University of London, in accordance with the requirements of a Ph.D. in the Department of Media Arts 2 Declaration of Authorship I declare that the work in this thesis was carried out in accordance with the regulations of Royal Holloway, University of London. This work is original, except where indicated by special reference in the text, and no part of the thesis has been submitted for any other academic award. Any views expressed in the thesis are those of the author. Signed: Philippa Zielfa Maslin Date: 19th January 2018 3 Abstract Locating itself in relation to existing work on youth in, primarily American, cinema, the thesis questions the analytical usefulness of conceptualising the ‘youth/teen film’ as a genre and, instead, seeks to establish the value of analysing the ‘coming-of-age film’ as a genre involving the employment of adolescent protagonists. In setting out to do so, it focuses on films which are set in Britain, made from 1979 onwards, and rarely discussed as coming-of-age films (or, indeed, youth/teen films), but which may be seen to benefit from such a critical approach. Following a survey of a range of anthropological, biological, historical, juridical, psychoanalytic, psychological and sociological approaches to adolescence, as well as scholarship on the literary precursor of the coming-of-age film, the Bildungsroman, and on the relationship between adolescence and cinema, a working definition of the coming-of- age genre is proposed.
