RADYR CHAIN Free to Every Home in Radyr and Morganstown Number 199 April 2012 Radyr Geography Department Iceland Trip February half term saw the Geography department’s first trip to Iceland, the ‘land of fire and ice’, and it proved to be a truly memorable experience. From majestic waterfalls to giant tears in the earth’s surface, from the vibrant capital city of Reykjavik to remote farms - we witnessed the constantly changing face of Iceland, and a community that has learnt to live with the constant threat of earthquakes and volcanoes. On arrival at Keflavik airport we immediately transferred across a barren ‘lunar’ landscape to the geothermal baths of the Blue Lagoon. The milky blue waters are set amidst black lava, and despite slightly warmer temperatures than Cardiff (at first!) the 40 plus degree waters were a fantastic welcome to Iceland. During the first half of the trip we visited several of Iceland’s most After a very successful 2011 appearing on ITV’S Britain’s Got Talent, dance impressive waterfalls including Angels were featured on Sky1’s Got to Dance on 6th January, 2012.

    OfcomOfcom Broadcast Preliminary and On Demand View Bulletin Published 17 September 2020 Britain’s Got Talent Type of case Broadcast Standards Outcome Not Pursued Service ITV Date & time 5 September 2020, 20:00 Category Protection of children/generally accepted standards/dangerous behaviour/due impartiality Summary This programme included a performance by the British dance group Diversity which represented the events of 2020, including the Coronavirus pandemic and global anti-racism protests. We concluded that the programme did not raise issues which warranted investigation under the Broadcasting Code. Ofcom received approximately 24,5001 complaints about the above programme. Complainants outlined a range of concerns about Diversity’s performance, including that the themes of violence and racism were inappropriate for family viewing, that it expressed support for the political organisation ‘Black Lives Matter’ and that it was racist towards White people. Ofcom also received a number of messages of support and praise for the performance. Ofcom has assessed this programme against the relevant rules in the Broadcasting Code (“the Code”). Our assessment is that this programme did not raise any issues which warranted investigation. In our view, Diversity’s performance was an artistic expression of topical social issues and did not contain any content which was racist, unsuitably violent or otherwise inappropriate in the context of this programme. Given the significant publicity surrounding this case and the high volume of complaints received, we have decided to publish our reasons for this assessment. 1 As of 09:00 on 17 September 2020. 1 Introduction Britain’s Got Talent is a talent programme broadcast on ITV, which aims to find a new act from the general public to perform at the annual Royal Variety Performance and win a prize of £250,000.

Sound resonance in prehistoric times: A study of Paleolithic painted caves and rocks. Iegor Reznikoff ͑Université de Paris X, Département de Philosophie, 92001 Nanterre, France, [email protected]͒ Caves have natural properties of resonance: some parts sound very well, the sound lasts for some seconds or gives several echoes, some other parts have a dull resonance or no resonance at all. It is extremely interesting to compare in a given cave the map of the most resonant locations with the map of the locations of the paintings: are there correlations between resonance and paintings? We have studied many Paleolithic caves in France in which the answer was remarkably positive; stated shortly: the more resonant the location, the more paintings or signs are situated in this location. Here are presented some studies and results in the caves of Isturitz and Oxo- celhaya in Pays Basque and in some other caves. Some considerations are given about the resonance - pictures relationship in open spaces with prehistoric painted rocks. Bibliography I.

  • Scratching the Surface of Spectacle: Black Hypermasculinity and the Television Talent Show Laura Robinson, University of East London
    Scratching the Surface of Spectacle: Black Hypermasculinity and the Television Talent Show Laura Robinson, University of East London Abstract This study explores the construction of black hypermasculinity in television talent show competitions through the re-valuing of spectacle as an aesthetic experience. Drawing on a screendance analysis of eighteen duet, trio and group performances featured in ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) and Sky1’s Got To Dance (GTD) between 2008-2013, this study explores the circulation of black hypermasculinity and the potentiality for an alternate reading of spectacular displays of athleticism. Building upon Kristen Whissel’s concept of the emblematic nature of the special effect in cinema, the re-valuing of televised spectacles reveals themes regarding the black male experience in these competitions. Rather than dismissing these performances as commercial spectacles that recirculate notions of black hypermasculinity, these corporeal and televisual special effects instead highlight the thematic narrative of the reality television journey through themes of aspiration and transformation. Crews constructs images of superheroes, cartoons, animals and cyborgs, manipulated by camera angles and editing, that operate as both light entertainment and a reflection of the young black male experience in mediascope of reality television. The creation of spectacular and glossy images on screen therefore reveals the potentiality of a fluid gender and racialized representation. Keywords: screendance, hip-hop, street dance, spectacle, reality television Despite Yvonne Rainer’s disapproval, spectacle, by its very nature, has always commanded attention.1 In the context of screendance, the formulaic yet entertaining premise of dance on television talent show competitions has provided a regular digital platform for corporeal spectacles, none more so than the highly combustible, attention- deficit performances of U.K.
