  • 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Glasgow School of Art: RADAR 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir) David Sweeney During the Britpop era of the 1990s, the name of Mike Leigh was invoked regularly both by musicians and the journalists who wrote about them. To compare a band or a record to Mike Leigh was to use a form of cultural shorthand that established a shared aesthetic between musician and filmmaker. Often this aesthetic similarity went undiscussed beyond a vague acknowledgement that both parties were interested in 'real life' rather than the escapist fantasies usually associated with popular entertainment. This focus on 'real life' involved exposing the ugly truth of British existence concealed behind drawing room curtains and beneath prim good manners, its 'secrets and lies' as Leigh would later title one of his films. I know this because I was there. Here's how I remember it all: Jarvis Cocker and Abigail's Party To achieve this exposure, both Leigh and the Britpop bands he influenced used a form of 'real world' observation that some critics found intrusive to the extent of voyeurism, particularly when their gaze was directed, as it so often was, at the working class. Jarvis Cocker, lead singer and lyricist of the band Pulp -exemplars, along with Suede and Blur, of Leigh-esque Britpop - described the band's biggest hit, and one of the definitive Britpop songs, 'Common People', as dealing with "a certain voyeurism on the part of the middle classes, a certain romanticism of working class culture and a desire to slum it a bit".

  • EXPLICIT PARAMETERIZATION of EULER's ELASTICA 1. Introduction
    Ninth International Conference on Geometry, Geometry, Integrability and Quantization Integrability June 8–13, 2007, Varna, Bulgaria and Ivaïlo M. Mladenov, Editor IX SOFTEX, Sofia 2008, pp 175–186 Quantization EXPLICIT PARAMETERIZATION OF EULER’S ELASTICA PETER A. DJONDJOROV, MARIANA TS. HADZHILAZOVAy, IVAÏLO M. MLADENOVy and VASSIL M. VASSILEV Institute of Mechanics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Acad. G. Bonchev Str., Bl. 4, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria yInstitute of Biophysics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Acad. G. Bonchev Str., Bl. 21, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract. The consideration of some non-standard parametric Lagrangian leads to a fictitious dynamical system which turns out to be equivalent to the Euler problem for finding out all possible shapes of the lamina. Integrating the respective differential equations one arrives at novel explicit parameteri- zations of the Euler’s elastica curves. The geometry of the inflexional elastica and especially that of the figure “eight” shape is studied in some detail and the close relationship between the elastica problem and mathematical pendulum is outlined. 1. Introduction The elastic behaviour of roads and beams which attracts a continuous attention since the time of Galileo, Bernoulli and Euler has generated recently a renewed interest in plane [2, 3, 15], space [18] and space forms [1, 11]. The first elastic problem was posed by Galileo around 1638 who asked the question about the force required to break a beam set into a wall. James (or Jakob) Bernoulli raised in 1687 the question concerning the shape of the beam and had also succeeded in solving the case of the so called rectangular elastica (second case from the top in Fig.

    On the Moduli of a Quantized Elastica in P and KdV Flows: Study of Hyperelliptic Curves as an Extension of Euler’s Perspective of Elastica I Shigeki MATSUTANI∗ and Yoshihiro ONISHIˆ † ∗8-21-1 Higashi-Linkan Sagamihara, 228-0811 Japan †Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Iwate University, Ueda, Morioka, Iwate, 020-8550 Japan Abstract Quantization needs evaluation of all of states of a quantized object rather than its stationary states P with respect to its energy. In this paper, we have investigated moduli elas of a quantized elastica, a quantized loop with an energy functional associated with the Schwarz derivative,M on a Riemann sphere P. Then it is proved that its moduli space is decomposed to a set of equivalent classes determined by flows obeying the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) hierarchy which conserve the energy. Since the flow P obeying the KdV hierarchy has a natural topology, it induces topology in the moduli space elas. P M Using the topology, is classified. Melas Studies on a loop space in the category of topological spaces Top are well-established and its cohomological properties are well-known. As the moduli space of a quantized elastica can be regarded as a loop space in the category of differential geometry DGeom, we also proved an existence of a functor between a triangle category related to a loop space in Top and that in DGeom using the induced topology. As Euler investigated the elliptic integrals and its moduli by observing a shape of classical elastica on C, this paper devotes relations between hyperelliptic curves and a quantized elastica on P as an extension of Euler’s perspective of elastica.

    :: View email as a web page :: The spring of 1995 was a crowded season in indie-rock history. Pavement dropped their polarizing third album, the willfully messy and frequently brilliant Wowee Zowee. Yo La Tengo continued their hit streak of low-key masterworks with Eletr-O-Pura. Illinois fuzz-rock quartet Hum hit hard with Youʼd Prefer An Astronaut, and Teenage Fanclub produced one of their finest jangle-pop efforts, Grand Prix. Wilco, Elastica, and Apples In Stereo put out well-regarded debuts. And Red House Painters hit a new high-water mark with Ocean Beach. But even in an era when classic indie records seemed to come out every week, there was nothing quite like Alien Lanes, the eighth full-length LP by a band from Dayton, Ohio called Guided By Voices. Released on April 4, 1995, Alien Lanes arrived with baked-in mythology. It had been supposedly recorded for just $10 in various concrete basements around Dayton by a group of blue-collar guys in their mid-30s. Uproxx dug into the history of this classic and produced this great oral history. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" And The Beginning Of The 21st Century OPENING TRACKS RINA SAWAYAMA This budding indie-pop star is among the buzziest acts to emerge this year, with an ear-catching single called “STFU” that’s like Carly Rae Jepsen if she spent years obsessing over Korn’s Follow The Leader. That pan-genre approach ultimately informs Sawayama — who was born in Japan and raised in London — and her aesthetic.

The recitals included a broad range of repertoire, from the Baroque to modernity. The first recital was a performance of Duruflé’s Requiem, scored for chorus and organ, sung by a recital choir and soloists at Bethlehem United Church of Christ on Sunday, April 29, 2018. Scott VanOrnum played the organ, and University of Michigan (U-M) School of Music, Theatre & Dance doctoral students, Elise Eden and Leo Singer, joined as solo soprano and cellist, respectively. The second recital was a benefit concert held on January 27, 2019 at Ste. Anne de Detroit Catholic Church on behalf of the Prison Creative Arts Project. Guest singers and instrumentalists joined the core ensemble, Out of the Blue, to explore themes of mercy, journey, and landing.
