Yes, you can. I had wheatflakes, blueberries and raspberries. Yes. With some special new milk that contains fatty acids, called Omega milk. And what are the benefits of that? It is so that you don’t have to eat so much fish to get the benefits of the equivalent of fish oil. I understand. And did you have it on your balcony? No I didn’t, I had it in the kitchen but I should have had it on the balcony. I think we’ll have lunch on the balcony. Oh right, okay. I seem to be, yes that’ll be perfect. Now I seem to have – I’m just checking – that seems fine, I seem to be up and you seem to be a little bit down, so I’m just going to try and adjust this again. I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but one’s own voice sounds so peculiar when recorded. I’m… D’you not find this? I’m fairly used to it, because it’s just through teaching I don’t seem to mind, but I think if you’re not regularly used to it, it does sound rather strange. Marit Allen Page 2 C1046/13 Tape 1 Side A [part 1] It sounds so peculiar. Now I just seem to have gone too loud on my own now, so I’m just bringing it down. Now that seems fine for me. Okay, how does that seem for me? I think it seems fine for you too. Good. Terribly fiddly, these buttons. This is, it’s a Marantz system and the very strange and slightly old-fashioned way the National Sound Archive believe that this technology is better and it’s more archival than CDs. Ah, interesting. This is actually audio tape. They will transfer them all eventually? Yes. On to something smaller. Now I just need to turn this down a bit. My partner is a sound engineer. Oh really? So he’s totally into equipment and he’s just had to completely revamp all his equipment because movie makers now are getting so highly technical that they’re going, they’re Marit Allen Page 3 C1046/13 Tape 1 Side A [part 1] jumping ten-year leaps between movies even, you know, so that the sound requirements are so incredibly varied and… And does he work in film particularly, as a sound engineer? Yeah he does, yes. My twin brother works in BBC Sound Archive. He trained as a sound engineer, but he’s archive based now, which is quite nice. Yes, well he knows all about this equipment, yes. More than I do, I’m a bit of a novice I think. [laughs] Okay right, I think that’s fine. Good. Okay, interviewing Marit Allen, Tuesday the ninth of August 2005. Marit, can I ask you where you were born and when? I was born in 1941 underneath a staircase in little nursing home in Appleton, which was then in Lancashire and now is in Cheshire. And I was born under the staircase because there was an air raid at the time. My poor mother had a pretty rough ride I think and she didn’t think much of me when I arrived, so I’m told, or so she told me. Yes. She denied the fact that I was her baby, she said, ‘That can’t be my baby, she’s far too ugly’. [laughs] My nose was squished against my face and I had a purple V on my forehead, she said. And so she said there had to be some mistake, but that in fact was where I was born and we became the very best of friends lifelong afterwards. And what did your father think of it? My father, I don’t even know if he was around, because he was in Africa during World War Two, in North Africa, so I don’t know if he was very close by when I was born, I Marit Allen Page 4 C1046/13 Tape 1 Side A [part 1] don’t think so. And my mother and I struggled along together for the first four years till he came back. Right. What’s your earliest memory? I suppose my earliest memory is of gas masks and looking for small mice in the cellar and kittens, if possible. Anything that had a heartbeat and was down in the basement of the house that we lived in. So I suppose that was a distraction, it was a sort of – I remember Bing Crosby’s boys, I remember my mother calling him Uncle Bing and being very attached to the songs that Bing Crosby sang. Early – those were my nursery rhymes I think, because my mother was Norwegian and so she didn’t know any English nursery rhymes and she hadn’t taught me Norwegian yet, so she used to sing songs of the day for me, so I grew up with a ridiculous sort of, a whole catalogue of pop songs that she used to like in the early 1940s and they were mostly nonsense rhymes and sort of onomatopoeic things, things that she found entertaining about English. Those are the first things I remember I suppose. I remember also, I remember news bulletins. I remember my parents listening, with desperate seriousness, to the news bulletins as they came in, of the war and being told to be quiet and having to, not understanding exactly why, but having this overall feeling of darkness and lights flashing and radio bulletins. So how was it that your Norwegian mother found herself in England in the early forties? Well, she came over to England as a student, she actually got a scholarship to go to Oxford from northern Norway, she studied in Trondheim, and a friend of her father’s thought that it was better that she should study economics so she went to a college of economics in Manchester, and there she met my father and she married him in Norway on an Atlantic island in a wind storm in June, I suppose 1938, and then she came to live with him in England and then the war happened. And then she was cut off from her family for the years of the war. And I just found documentation of my grandfather’s letters to her, trying desperately to reach her during the war. And they had to write via Portugal, they had a connection with Portugal who could somehow get letters over to Norway and I think they probably heard from each other four or five times during the whole course of the war. And so she was young and pretty and vivacious and crazy about dancing and she was stuck in a Marit Allen Page 5 C1046/13 Tape 1 Side A [part 1] small town in Lancashire, trying to keep a business together and a child together while my dad went off to North Africa, so she had a tough time. So do you have any early memories of your grandparents from the maternal side, of the time? Well yes, when I was four and my father came back, my parents didn’t recognise each other and they’d lost any sense of the relationship they had. So they sent me off to my grandmother’s, and they sent me off probably at about Easter time in the year my dad came back and came and picked me up in September and when they picked me up I couldn’t speak any English any more and I was completely immersed in my whole family in Norway and my cousins and my grandparents, I loved them dearly, and it was very much the perfect oasis for a child, because everything was there, even though they’d been through the war and been occupied, they had butter and bread and cheese and milk and all the things that we didn’t have, you know. And it was a huge family and lots of children, which I didn’t, I wasn’t surrounded by any children at all as I was growing up in England.

  • A SOUTH AFRICAN MEDEA at the START of the 21ST CENTURY Betine Van Zyl Smit
    http://akroterion.journals.ac.za medEia – A SOUTH AFRICAN MEDEA AT THE START OF THE 21ST CENTURY Betine van Zyl Smit (University of Nottingham) Medea is ubiquitous on the stages of the modern world. From Greece and continental Europe, the British Isles and North America the unforgettable protagonist of Euripides’ tragedy has travelled further, to South America, Japan and as far as South Africa. The earliest recorded performances of Medea in South Africa seem to be burlesques that were very popular in Cape Town in the mid 19th century1. These shows were probably attended by British expatriates who, although they were far from home, were being offered fare that would be familiar to Londoners of the same period. In fact Robert Brough’s burlesque of Legouvé’s adaptation of the Medea (Medea, or, the Best of Mothers with a Brute of a Husband), which was a great success in London in 1856,2 was apparently as popular in Cape Town where it was staged repeatedly in 1858 and during the next decade3. This illustrates the close bond between entertainment in London and the chief city of a far-off colony. During the 20th century, various translations, into either of the official languages, English or Afrikaans4, of Euripides’ Medea or, often, Anouilh’s adaptation, were staged. Gradually, and more markedly from the 1970s onwards, as was the case with the performing arts in general, a stronger local element was introduced into the productions5. Thus for example, in 1977, Barney Simon directed a multiracial cast in his version of Grillparzer’s Medea at The Space6, a theatre famous for its support for alternative productions.

    Published in: Kelly, P. and Kamp, A. 2014. A Critical Youth Studies for the 21st Century. Leiden: Brill. (pp. 317-332) CHAPTER EIGHTEEN FOSTERING COMPLICIT FEMININITY: EPOCH, EDUCATION AND THE YOUNG FEMALE BODY Majella McSharry and Brendan Walsh Introduction: Recent Practices and Historical Antecedents Prior to 1878, post-primary schooling in Ireland was dominated by religious provision and throughout the 20th Century Catholic congregations, in particular, operated the majority of such schools. As we see below, there is much evidence to support the position that young, female bodies were heavily regulated in these schools. Historically, such regulation was as much a result of wider social constraint as it was particular to Catholicism. However, given that those girls who secured post-primary schooling before the advent of free education in 1966, and the majority of those that have passed through secondary schooling since then, attended Catholic convent institutions, they provide a useful starting place in surveying the regulation of the young, female body. They also allow us to identify to what extent traditional notions of femininity have succumbed to more hyper-sexualised versions of young women in a world where the body as commodity has become normalized. This chapter seeks to explore the regulation of the schoolgirl body within the Irish secondary school landscape. In doing so it describes historic practices that reinforced stereotypical behaviours for young women of school and university-going age and discusses how these practices find striking resonances in contemporary schooling. Our focus is on one aspect of regulation – that of the body. Through the body, that form by which we so often seek self- definition and are defined, that to which we are so intimately bound, regulation becomes immediate and in some instances all-encompassing.

    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

  • The Lowell Lectures on the Ascent of Man
    The Lowell Lectures on the Ascent of Man Author(s): Drummond, Henry Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: As well as an evangelist and missionary, Henry Drummond was a naturalist. After Darwin published his monumental On the Origin of Species, controversy exploded across Christendom, and Drummond was one of the first to address it effectively. Fiercely dedicated to both Christian faith and scientific progress, he sought to reconcile Darwin's theory of evolution with the teachings of the Bible. In 1893, Drum- mond delivered a series of lectures on perhaps the most controversial suggestion of Darwin's theoryÐthat humans shared a common ancestor with apes. Today, Drummond's words remain just as controversial as they were a century ago, and human evolution remains hotly debated throughout the church.
