It was Prof. Dr. Rainer Emig's constant encouragement which helped me not to lose sight of the aim I was pursuing in all those years. I would like to thank him for giving me the chance to start my dissertation, for his support, his valuable advice and the fact that I could call on him at any time. Furthermore, I would like to thank PD Dr. Anne-Julia Zwierlein, who on rather short notice agreed to supervise my work, and whose ideas helped to give my thesis the necessary final touches. I would also like to thank my wife, Sandra, and my family, who have been patient enough to understand that my weekends, holidays and evenings after work were mostly busy – and that my mind much too often strayed from important issues. Without their support and understanding, this thesis would never have come into existence. Obertraubling, 2009 Table of Contents page 1. How does Scotland imagine itself? 5 2.

  • National 5 Critical Reading Exam Scottish Text: Jackie Kay
    National 5 Critical Reading Exam Scottish Text: Jackie Kay Jackie Kay: National 5: Scottish text Jackie Kay Biography Jackie Kay was born in Edinburgh in 1961 to a Scottish mother and a Nigerian father. She was adopted as a baby by a white Scottish couple, Helen and John Kay, and grew up in Bishopbriggs, a suburb of Glasgow, in a 1950s-built Glasgow housing estate in a small Wimpey house, which her adoptive parents had bought new in 1957. They adopted Kay in 1961 having already adopted Jackie's brother, Maxwell, about two years earlier. Jackie and Maxwell also have siblings who were brought up by their biological parents. Her adoptive father worked for the Communist Party full-time and stood for Member of Parliament, and her adoptive mother was the Scottish secretary of Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. In August 2007, Jackie Kay was the subject of the fourth episode of The House I Grew Up In, in which she talked about her childhood. Initially harbouring ambitions to be an actress, she decided to concentrate on writing after Alasdair Gray, a Scottish artist and writer, read her poetry and told her that writing was what she should be doing. She studied English at the University of Stirling and her first book of poetry, the partially autobiographical The Adoption Papers, was published in 1991 and won the Saltire Society Scottish First Book Award. Her other awards include the 1994 Somerset Maugham Award for Other Lovers, and the Guardian First Book Award Fiction Prize for Trumpet, based on the life of American jazz musician Billy Tipton, born Dorothy Tipton, who lived as a man for the last fifty years of his life.[citation needed] She writes extensively for stage (in 1988 her play Twice Over was the first by a Black writer to be produced by Gay Sweatshop Theatre Group), screen and for children.

  • RBWF Newsletter November 2013
    The Robert Burns World Federation Newsletter Issue 6 November 2013 I am often asked, particularly by non-Scots, where can they hear Burns’ poems being recited so they can listen to the vernacular language and get a better sense of the meaning of the poem. The answer is simple; just go to the BBC website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/robertburns/works where you can listen to over 700 poems and songs by Burns including Seventh of November and The Whistle featured in this newsletter. Another source, which includes a video, is http://johncairney.com/robert-burns/ Click on the ‘Performance’ heading and on that page you can see John’s consummate recitation of Tam O’Shanter, fast paced and yet so clear. Hopefully by hearing these poems your Burns Supper experience will be enhanced. We bade fond farewell to Corinne Buivenga after her fantastic stint in the office and warmly welcome her replacement Margaretann Dougall who has already slotted seamlessly into the role. Editor In this Issue: Page Seventh of November - The Whistle and Friars Carse 1-3 - Stonehaven’s Champion ‘Hauder’ 3 - Irvine Lasses Inter-Club night 3 The day returns, my bosom burns, - Conference Activities 4 The blissful day we twa did meet! - Burns cottage presentation 4 Tho’ winter wild in tempest toil’d, - St Petersburg Forum 4-5 - Edinburgh historic buildings open days 5 Ne’er summer sun was half sae sweet. - New York golf outing 6 Than a’ the pride that loads the tide, - Ian Rankin’s take on Burns 6 And crosses o’er the sultry line, - Helensburgh Burns Club 7 Than kingly robes,

    Shadow Games Written by Miranda Kwok 1. FADE IN: EXT. TRAINING SQUARE - BATIATUS' LUDUS - DAY SPARTACUS, reinstated from the Pits, spars with HAMILCAR in a rotating drill with the other GLADIATORS. Bruises and scrapes still mar his flesh, but he trains with focus and determination. DOCTORE cracks his whip. DOCTORE Switch! The Gladiators switch partners. Every man is drenched in sweat, lips cracked from lack of water. The drought has taken its toll. VARRO grins, crossing sword and shield with Spartacus. After a few beats, Doctore cracks his whip. DOCTORE (cont'd) Switch! CRIXUS moves into position opposite Spartacus, attacking. Spartacus tries to keep a steady pace, but Crixus strikes hard, pressing beyond the exercise. Doctore cracks his whip. DOCTORE (cont'd) Switch! GNAEUS, exhausted and winded, moves to face Spartacus -- but Crixus doesn’t give way. He continues to press, catching Spartacus by surprise. Spartacus stumbles back, barely deflecting the blows. Crixus raises his practice sword to crack Spartacus' skull. DOCTORE (cont'd) Crixus! Crixus freezes. Doctore steps closer, displeased. DOCTORE (cont'd) Did you not hear the command? CRIXUS Apologies, Doctore. I hope I did not frighten the rabbit. Snickers from the men. Doctore glares. DOCTORE The games of the Magistrate approach. Listen carefully to my instructions, and every man chosen will see victory in the arena. (CONTINUED) 2. CONTINUED: Gnaeus swoons from the heat in the background, collapses to the ground. DOCTORE (cont'd) Perhaps not every man. PIETROS rushes over to Gnaeus with a skin of water. DOCTORE (cont'd) Save rations for men who deserve them.
