Jann Pasler, Anthony Davis, George Lewis, Adriene Jenik, and Lev Manovich inspired me to think and write critically; without their advice, encouragement, and good humor this work would have been far less rewarding. Jann Pasler helped create an environment at UCSD that fostered serious debate, collaboration, and interdisciplinarity; her vision for a critical studies program fueled my work in countless ways. Anthony Davis consistently encouraged me with imaginative and sensitive advice; I am grateful for our conversations and collaborations throughout the years. Like many of

  • Among the Not So Great / First Edition.– Pondicherry
    AMONG THE NOT SO GREAT Among the Not So Great PRABHAKAR (Batti) NEW HOUSE KOLKATA First edition Sri Mira Trust 2003 Second enlarged edition New House 2018 Rs 270.00 © Sri Mira Trust 2003 Published by New House, Kolkata - 700 025 Printed at Sri Aurobindo Ashram Press, Pondicherry Printed in India INTRODUCTION I write this about some old Ashramites — interesting people, who I feel should not be lost, buried in the past. I write of them for they are, or were, so garbed in their ordinariness that their coming, going and even their short sojourn here went unheralded, unnoticed and unsung. Maybe I use words too high-sounding, but I would that you let that pass. They did not achieve anything great (in the usual sense of the word) — for no poetry, prose or philosophy spewed forth from their innards. They created no piece of art nor did they even put up a block of masonry. But they achieved this — when you by chance thought of them a bubble of joy rose from your stomach, tingled its way up like a soda-induced burp. What more can one ask of another but this moment of joy? This is reason enough for me to bring them back from the past. These that I mention here were quite closely associated with me, and I think it would interest many who have not had the good chance to rub shoulders with them, nor even see them, probably. This is a homely “Who-is-who”. I first started writing this series with no idea whatsoever as to what I was going to do, once I had written.

  • 'Reporter Voice' and 'Objectivity'
    THE ‘REPORTER VOICE’ AND ‘OBJECTIVITY’ IN CROSS- LINGUISTIC REPORTING OF ‘CONTROVERSIAL’ NEWS IN ZIMBABWEAN NEWSPAPERS. AN APPRAISAL APPROACH BY COLLEN SABAO Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University SUPERVISOR: PROF MW VISSER MARCH 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ii DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 17 September 2012 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za iii ABSTRACT The dissertation is a comparative analysis of the structural (generic/cognitive) and ideological properties of Zimbabwean news reports in English, Shona and Ndebele, focusing specifically on the examination of the proliferation of authorial attitudinal subjectivities in ‘controversial’ ‘hard news’ reports and the ‘objectivity’ ideal. The study, thus, compares the textuality of Zimbabwean printed news reports from the English newspapers (The Herald, Zimbabwe Independent and Newsday), the Shona newspaper (Kwayedza) and the Ndebele newspaper (Umthunywa) during the period from January 2010 to August 2012. The period represents an interesting epoch in the country’s political landscape. It is a period characterized by a power- sharing government, a political situation that has highly polarized the media and as such, media stances in relation to either of the two major parties to the unity government, the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) and the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T).

  • HARRINGTON, LALENJA GIDDENS, Ph.D
    HARRINGTON, LALENJA GIDDENS, Ph.D. (Un)restricting the Imagination: Community Engaged Research Involving College Students with Intellectual Disabilities and Implications on Scholarship, Postsecondary Programming and Pedagogy in Higher Education. (2017) Directed by Dr. Leila Villaverde. 318 pp. This dissertation explores the intersection of community engaged research and arts-based methodologies involving students with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) on a college campus, with broader theoretical connections related to disability identity and day to day practice that impacts access to higher education. This intersection, presented as a nexus of “visionary pragmatism” in the words of Patricia Hill Collins (1996) represents a coming together of theory/vision and the practical strategies that students with “unruly body/minds” must use to navigate the world on their own terms. Using thematic and poetic analysis of person centered planning documents and student interviews, the research circle (consisting of students, faculty, community members and program staff) sought to answer two research questions: 1) what do students with ID consider personal growth as it relates to being in college, and 2) how do students perceive the supports needed to achieve their desired goals. The community engaged approach encouraged power sharing within the research circle, including students with ID as co-researchers in collective data collection and analysis, and as peer interviewers. In alignment with Universal Design and feedback from scholars with ID regarding accessible formatting, literature, discussion and analysis are presented in a multimodal format that includes graphics and poetry. Themes from the data reflect perceptions of college as a path to self-realization and self-determination (critical consciousness), valued roles, careers and financial stability, interdependence, social justice and inclusion.

  • NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Ototheatre
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Ototheatre: Learning to Listen and Perform in Sonically Augmented Spaces A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Theatre and Drama By Lauren R. Beck EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 © Copyright by Lauren R. Beck 2017 All Rights Reserved 3 Abstract Ototheatre: Learning to Listen and Perform in Sonically Augmented Spaces Lauren R. Beck This dissertation explores a form of performance I call “ototheatre,” which is a mobile and participatory audience experience executed with portable sound technology. Ototheatre is an emergent artistic form that sits at a convergence of contemporary technologies and audience consumption habits. Case studies, including smartphone applications and new theatrical works incorporating novel uses of sound technology, reveal the antecedents and characteristics of this form of theatre. I explore the methods by which these works create intimate, interactive theatrical experiences that extend modes of audience experience. Podcasts are a new media practice that have multiple theatrical antecedents and ototheatrical potential. I analyze a particularly theatrical podcast, choreographer Hofesh Shechter’s Everyday Moments, to show new possibilities for individual modes of performance scripted by podcast artists for solo listening. I trace a genealogy that includes the théâtrophone, radio drama, and the downloadable podcast to demonstrate how the recorded voice has long been creating remote theatrical experiences for audiences through the use of mediatized sound technology. While radio has been called a “theatre of the mind,” I argue that podcasts can create an intimate, post-humanistic theatre of the body. I examine artistic sound works that are related to the audio tour to explore ways of mapping space with sound.

  • FROM the PANORAMA to the DETAIL Symposium 21.–22.02.17 TBA21–Augarten Allan Sekula: from the Panorama to the Detail
    Allan Sekula FROM THE PANORAMA TO THE DETAIL Symposium 21.–22.02.17 TBA21–Augarten Allan Sekula: From the Panorama to the Detail Allan Sekula: From the Panorama to the Detail brings together various thinkers, historians, artists, and curators to discursively unpack the oceanic themes addressed in the exhibition Allan Sekula: OKEANOS and to expand and update some of the sociopolitical and environmental topics engaged by Sekula’s work. Marking the twentieth anniversary of the Camera Austria Symposium on Photography, staged in 1996 and cocurated by Sekula, which focused on his seminal work Fish Story, this gathering, held in 2017, again foregrounds the urgency of the artist’s work and in particular the way it can still be used as a lens through which to form a pertinent critique shedding light on the most pressing issues at hand today. “Fish Story follows two interwoven strands,” Sekula wrote in 1997, “both of which turn around questions of liminality and flux. First, it is a ‘docu- mentary’ reading of contemporary maritime space. As both sea and land are progressively ‘rationalized’ by increasingly sophisticated industrial methods, does the ‘classic’ relation between terrestrial space and maritime space undergo a reversal? Does the sea become fixed and the land fluid? Second, Fish Story is an ‘art historical’ allegory of the sea as an object of representation. How does the sea ‘disappear’ from the cognitive and imaginative horizon of late modernity?
