In this scene from Julius Caesar, the varied responses of the crowd members to Caesar’s death give the scene more depth.

For most students of drama, this is the moment you have been waiting for. You probably share the dream of every actor to create a role so convincing that the audience totally accepts your character as real, for- getting that you are only an actor playing a part. You must work hard to be an effective actor, but acting should never be so real that the audience loses the theatrical illu- sion of reality. Theater is not life, and acting is not life. Both are illusions that are larger than life.

  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

  • From Designing in Protected Environment to Designing in Real Contexts Piloting Digital Services for Elderly Independent Living
    From designing in protected environment to designing in real contexts Piloting digital services for elderly independent living. Daria Cantù*, Francesca Rizzo**1 * Politecnico di Milano, Department of Design, [email protected] ** Politecnico di Milano, School of Design, [email protected] Abstract: In the last decade the role of designers is moving from designing a product or service to facilitating and leading participatory processes due to the changing social and economic conditions and the emerging of new social needs. This is true for example in projects that aims to boost a kind of societal change that affects people behaviours in their everyday life. On this assumption relies Life 2.0, a European Project whose aim is to prototype and pilot a digital social network service dedicated to 65+ years old people to improve their social relationships, their independent living and their role in the society as agents and sources for new social services. The paper discusses how design methods and competences are applied in the development of this project, eliciting the lessons learnt especially from the piloting phase, where the Participatory Design approach played a major role. The paper starts by introducing the topic and discussing the role of Design and Participatory Design in leading these projects typologies; then the Life 2.0 project and its development process are described; finally the project experience is discussed providing guidelines for piloting digital services in a real context of use. The paper concludes reflecting on the designers’ role and competences applied. Key words: Participatory Design, Services Prototyping, Piloting 1. Introduction In the traditional product design context the designers’ task has been clear: creating aesthetic and functional solutions that can be manufactured and that have novel and innovative ideas in them.
