  • January 2020
    Abington Senior High School, Abington, PA, 19001 January 2020 Decade in Review! With the decade coming to a close a few weeks ago, the editorial staff decided that we should fl ashback to the ideas and moments that shaped the decade. As we adjust to life in the new “roaring twenties,” here is a breakdown of the most prominent events of each year from the past decade. 2010: On January 12, an earthquake registering a magnitude 7.0 on the Richter scale struck Haiti, causing about 250,000 deaths and 300,000 injuries. On March 23, the Aff ordable Care Act is signed into law by Barack Obama. Commonly referred to as “Obamacare,” it was considered one of the most extensive health care reform acts since Medicare, which was passed in 1965. On April 20, a Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded over the Gulf of Mexico. Killing eleven people, it is considered one of the worst oil spills in history and the largest in US waters. On July 25, Wikileaks, an organization that allows people to anonymously leak classifi ed information, released more than 90,000 documents related to the Afghanistan War. It is oft en referred to as the largest leak of classifi ed information since the Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam War. Th e New Orleans Saints won their fi rst Super Bowl since Hurricane Katrina, LeBron James made his way to Miami, Kobe Bryant won his fi nal title, and Butler went on a Cinderella run to the NCAA Championship. Th e year fi ttingly set the tone for a decade of player empowerment and underdog victories.

  • 213 Nothing Like the South: Aurora Greenway – a Belle
    NOTHING LIKE THE SOUTH: AURORA GREENWAY – A BELLE IN EXILE Anca Peiu University of Bucharest Larry McMurtry’s Terms of Endearment has been better known as a 1983 successful silver-screen story than as a 1975 best-selling novel, rather as a multiplereceiver of Academy Awards than as a most accomplished book by a prolific author and Pulitzer Prize winner. My return to it is justified by some recently read essays – neither on the film, nor on the book – but on the Belle and the South (indeed, an archetypal coupling somehow echoing Beauty and the Beast ). As for my title here – it oscillates between two Shakesperean sonnets: Sonnet 130 and Sonnet 3. Both poems appeal particularly to the sense of sight ; they are versions of that type of painting (also fiction) known as a portrait of a lady – who stays the lady even if she defies any canon of lady-likelihood – both as Shakespeare’s (image of the) lover and as McMurtry’s Southern Belle – from My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun… Thou art thy mother’s glass, and she in thee Calls back the lovely April of her prime; So thou through windows of thine age shalt see, Despight of wrinkles, this thy golden time… The latter quote opens Larry McMurtry’s novel, as a necessary motto. It evokes a specific traditional relationship: mother-daughter, by the classic symbol of the mirror . It could send us – via Larry McMurtry’s novel – to Katherine Henninger’s astute study of the impact of photography on the Visual Legacies of the South: Picture a southern woman .

On March 26, 2004, the late war heroine Mrs Elizabeth Choy declared The Arts House open as the guest-of-honour. Her benediction gave us the boost of confidence – the skies did clear up after raining non-stop – and we have been on a mission ever since to fulfil our mandate as “the Singapore Arts House”. Thousands of performances, readings, exhibitions and film screenings later, and after supporting hundreds of Singapore artists (showcasing them abroad as well: Hong Kong, Tokyo, Moscow, Cape Town), we have finally reached this milestone. Through many ups and downs and various changes – physically, programmatically, and even financially – we have always stayed true to our vision of being an arts centre that is “all-encompassing and that is always relevant to the needs of the communities of Singapore”. We wanted to mark our 10th anniversary by celebrating our achievements but at the same time, we are also very eager to look forward to the future – to the next decade as a centre for writing, writers and ideas.

  • Through FILMS 70 Years of European History Through Films Is a Product in Erasmus+ Project „70 Years of European History 1945-2015”
    through FILMS 70 years of European History through films is a product in Erasmus+ project „70 years of European History 1945-2015”. It was prepared by the teachers and students involved in the project – from: Greece, Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Turkey. It’ll be a teaching aid and the source of information about the recent European history. A DANGEROUS METHOD (2011) Director: David Cronenberg Writers: Christopher Hampton, Christopher Hampton Stars: Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen Country: UK | GE | Canada | CH Genres: Biography | Drama | Romance | Thriller Trailer In the early twentieth century, Zurich-based Carl Jung is a follower in the new theories of psychoanalysis of Vienna-based Sigmund Freud, who states that all psychological problems are rooted in sex. Jung uses those theories for the first time as part of his treatment of Sabina Spielrein, a young Russian woman bro- ught to his care. She is obviously troubled despite her assertions that she is not crazy. Jung is able to uncover the reasons for Sa- bina’s psychological problems, she who is an aspiring physician herself. In this latter role, Jung employs her to work in his own research, which often includes him and his wife Emma as test subjects. Jung is eventually able to meet Freud himself, they, ba- sed on their enthusiasm, who develop a friendship driven by the- ir lengthy philosophical discussions on psychoanalysis. Actions by Jung based on his discussions with another patient, a fellow psychoanalyst named Otto Gross, lead to fundamental chan- ges in Jung’s relationships with Freud, Sabina and Emma.
