  • Accepted Draft
    ACCEPTED DRAFT Title: ‘Bad Retail’: A romantic fiction Author: Laurence Figgis Output Type: Article Published: Journal of Writing in Creative Practice Date: 2017 Biography Laurence Figgis is an artist and writer and a lecturer in Fine Art (Painting and Printmaking) at the Glasgow School of Art. He works in collage, painting, drawing, fiction and poetry. His recent exhibitions include (After) After at Leeds College of Art (2017), Human Shaped at Sculpture & Design, Glasgow (for Glasgow International 2016) and Oh My Have at 1 Royal Terrace, Glasgow (2015). He has produced commissioned texts for other artists’ exhibitions and catalogues including for Lorna Macintyre, Zoe Williams and Cathy Wilkes. His live-performance work ‘Even or Perhaps’ (at DCA, Dundee, 2014) was programmed as part of Generation, a nationwide celebration of Scottish contemporary art. [email protected] www.laurencefiggis.co.uk Abstract ‘Bad Retail’ is a work of fiction that I wrote to accompany a series of my own narrative paintings. The text was originally disseminated through a series of exhibitions in the form of printed handouts that were included alongside the visual works. The story evolved from a simultaneous investigation of two related devices in literature and painting: anachronism and collage. These 1 ACCEPTED DRAFT terms are linked by an act of displacement: of objects from history and of images from their source. This compositional tendency is characteristic of late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth- century romantic fiction, which often refuses to conform to (and remain within) accustomed genre categories. The aforementioned narrative will be accompanied here by a series of illustrations based on the paintings and drawings that I produced in tandem with the text.

  • The American Paradox Discovering America in Carlos Bulosan's
    The American Paradox Discovering America in Carlos Bulosan’s America is in the Heart Dulce-Marie Flecha, McNair Scholar The Pennsylvania State University McNair Faculty Research Advisor Jeanne Britton, Ph.D Post-Doctoral Fellow in 19th Century British Literature and Culture Department of English College of Liberal Arts The Pennsylvania State University Abstract This essay examines the definition and various roles of the United States and its inhabitants in Carlos Bulosan’s semi-autobiographical America is in the Heart, a classic work of Asian American literature. The myriad of American characters in the novel reveal a vast diversity in the American population. America is in the Heart charts the paradox of the United States in the first half of the 20th century; while there are Americans who do not succumb to the common racism of the day—there are, in fact, those who rebel against it—the grand majority of the protagonist’s experiences with Americans, particularly those of the upper classes and those in law enforcement, project the darker aspects of their own desires and society on the ‘Other’; some label minorities as sex-crazed deviants while simultaneously displaying a subconscious obsession with sexuality, others accuse minorities of infesting the nation with crime while consciously and unabashedly stealing from them. But despite the protagonist’s seemingly constant contact with prejudice, he is also met with kindness from Americans throughout his travels and has reason to believe that this is a nation where equality is possible, even if it was not practiced. The conflicting nature of Americans throughout the novel reveals a degree of uncertainty, from both Americans and foreigners, as to what the word “American” actually means.

  • Madonna: Like a Crone
    ROCK ON: WOMEN, AGEING AND POPULAR MUSIC MADONNA: LIKE A CRONE Reaching fifty in 2008 was a watershed year not just for Madonna, but also for her millions of fans. She is a vital figure for women across generations: through her performances she has popularised feminist politics and debate, and promoted a message of sexual empowerment. Much of her career has hinged on this concept of self-liberation and sexual expressiveness. As a young star she was powerfully seductive - one of the first female performers in the pop mainstream to capitalise on video as a marketing tool, and to make that nexus between sex, pop and commerce so explicit. She also challenged notions of the male/female gaze with her book Sex, and videos like 'Justify My Love'. Much of her allure was centred around her visual image, and her ability to combine an inclusive sexuality with compelling costume changes and personae. Female stars in her wake, from Britney Spears to Lady Gaga, have been clearly influenced by her ideas on performance and sexuality However, becoming a mature woman and a mother has presented her with a dilemma. She is fiercely competitive and it is a matter of personal pride to 'stay on top' in the singles market. But in having to compete with younger women, she is subject to the same pressures to look young, slim and beautiful. As a result, she has to continually sculpt and resculpt her body through rigorous workouts and diet regimes. The sculpted body first emerged when she shed the voluptuous 'Toy Boy' look of her early career for her 'Open Your Heart' video.

  • Madonna's Postmodern Revolution
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, January 2021, Vol. 11, No. 1, 26-32 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2021.01.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Rebel Madame: Madonna’s Postmodern Revolution Diego Santos Vieira de Jesus ESPM-Rio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil The aim is to examine Madonna’s revolution regarding gender, sexuality, politics, and religion with the focus on her songs, videos, and live performances. The main argument indicates that Madonna has used postmodern strategies of representation to challenge the foundational truths of sex and gender, promote gender deconstruction and sexual multiplicity, create political sites of resistance, question the Catholic dissociation between the physical and the divine, and bring visual and musical influences from multiple cultures and marginalized identities. Keywords: Madonna, postmodernism, pop culture, sex, gender, sexuality, politics, religion, spirituality Introduction Madonna is not only the world’s highest earning female entertainer, but a pop culture icon. Her career is based on an overall direction that incorporates vision, customer and industry insight, leveraging competences and weaknesses, consistent implementation, and a drive towards continuous renewal. She constructed herself often rewriting her past, organized her own cult borrowing from multiple subaltern subcultures, and targeted different audiences. As a postmodern icon, Madonna also reflects social contradictions and attitudes toward sexuality and religion and addresses the complexities of race and gender. Her use of multiple media—music, concert tours, films, and videos—shows how images and symbols associated with multiracial, LGBT, and feminist groups were inserted into the mainstream. She gave voice to political interventions in mass popular culture, although many critics argue that subaltern voices were co-opted to provide maximum profit.

  • The Giant Pool of Money
    This American Life Episode Transcript Program #355 The Giant Pool of Money [Ambient sound of piano playing and crowd murmur] Ira Glass: So Adam, where are we? Adam Davidson: I recorded this at the Ritz Carlton in lower Manhattan. It’s a black tie dinner, just a few weeks ago. Ira Glass: And you, by the way, are NPR’s International Business and Economics correspondent. Adam Davidson: That’s right. I was there for my job. They’re giving out awards for all these financial securities, including the one that nearly brought down the global financial system. You know, the whole sub prime mortgage crisis. Jim Finkel: This guy is a legend. He’s a granddaddy of our industry. Adam Davidson: I’m sitting at this dinner with Jim Finkel. He’s kind of nervous because he’s up for CDO of the Year for the CDO he created, Monterrey. Now, the CDO, that’s what we’re talking about, that’s the financial instrument that was central to this global credit crisis we’re in. Ira Glass: And they’re giving awards for this? These guys are giving each other awards for doing that? Adam Davidson: Let me just say, they’re aware that there’s a certain irony, giving awards to the instrument that almost destroyed the world’s economy. They did consider canceling this year but it’s been a really tough year, it’s been really gloomy for them. Jim Finkel: Honestly, I know this sounds...I was happy to see there were no major suicides, people weren’t jumping off bridges, there weren’t personal disasters.

  • 29.1 Sigler.Pmd
    "Sigmund Freud, Analyze This": Madonna Beyond the Pleasure Principle 77 David Sigler “Sigmund Freud, Analyze This”: How Madonna Situates “Die Another Day” Beyond the Pleasure Principle Madonna’s song “Die Another Day” was commissioned by MGM Studios as the theme for the 2002 installment of the James Bond film franchise. In a press release of 15 March 2002, Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli announced: “We are thrilled that Ma- donna, who is recognized as the world’s most exciting songwriter and performer, has agreed to compose and sing the song for the first James Bond movie of the new millennium” (“Die Another Day Main Title Song”). Madonna co-wrote the song with Mirwais, her consistent collaborator since the late 1990s. To help promote the movie, the single and its music video were released in October 2002; the film Die Another Day opened a month later in deliberate coincidence with the fortieth anniversary of the first Bond film. The single hit No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 in the U.K. It earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song. The song later reappeared on Madonna’s American Life, lifting the album to Platinum certification by the RIAA and #1 on the Billboard chart. While none of these facts are likely surprising, the song itself is sur- prising enough: disregarding the conventions of Bond minstrelsy, Ma- donna fulfills the song’s promise to “avoid the cliché” by eschewing any reference to things 007, instead opting to issue a startling injunction to the founder of psychoanalysis (of all

  • "Game Changer" July 8, 2011
    This American Life Episode 440 "Game Changer" July 8, 2011 This transcript contains material from the podcast/online version of the story which was not part of the broadcast version due to time constraints. Back in December of 2007, Terry Engelder, a geologist at Penn State University, put a piece of scrap paper from the recycling bin under his desk, and made a calculation. Terry: What you see here are numbers for thickness and then aerial extent, and porocity is part of this calculation. Ah, porocity. Engelder was trying to figure out the answer to a very, very basic question – something someone had asked him just in passing. Terry: He said “Oh, by the way, how much gas is in the Marcellus?” And I hadn’t actually thought of that. Exactly how much natural gas was trapped in the Marcellus, which is a giant rock formation - a kind of rock called shale - that runs underneath Pennsylvania, where Engelder was actually sitting, and New York, and into Ohio, New Jersey, West Virginia and Maryland. And which we now know, thanks to Engelder, is the second largest natural gas field in the world, the largest outside the Mideast. Terry: And it just so happened that no one, at least in the public domain, up to that particular point in time had actually sat down and done the calculation. And so I found out and was astounded by the numbers. His result? Fifty trillion cubic feet of natural gas. It sounded impossible. Engelder went online to see what the U.S. Geological Survey was estimating for the Marcellus.
