  • STATEMENT of PRINCIPLE No One Should Be Forced to Choose
    STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE No one should be forced to choose between her personal safety and dignity, and her job. But too often in the theater community this is exactly the choice that women must make. Sexual discrimination and harassment and gender-based violence often occur in the intimate and physical context of a theater production. Victims of such conduct face a stark choice between continuing to work in close collaboration with their abuser and quitting the show. Few can afford to give up a job and lose not only income, but also the opportunity for career advancement. There is a sense in the community that it is not necessarily in a victim’s best interest to report abuse because of fear that the response will be insufficient and open her up to retribution. In addition, many instances of abuse happen outside of the physical boundaries of a theater. No theater, union or guild currently takes responsible for handling such cases. However, the two people involved will most likely have to work together the next day or in another production, and the victims are left to deal with the aftermath by themselves. In the face of these realities, victims often choose silence and the abuse is allowed to continue. It is time for the theater community to break its own silence on harassment and abuse and formally address the problem. The reality is that those who behave abusively are generally in positions of power. Artistic directors hold the power to employ, playwrights have hiring approval; removing a director mid-rehearsal puts an entire production in doubt; losing a celebrity from the cast hurts ticket sales.

  • East to West Migration in Europe, Seen from the Perspective of the British Press Pavla Cekalova1

Statistical characterisations like the above, for example, have been the perfect foil for sensationalist stories, which described an “invasion” of Britain by “floods” of immigrants who were going to “swamp” the country.3 Media reporting, however, can also encourage coexistence, by countering prejudices and fears and emphasizing the benefits that the arrival of the newcomers has yielded for the country. This article presents some of the most common perspectives that dominated in the British press regarding the Central and Eastern European newcomers who arrived after the EU enlargement in 2004.4 There has been a clear division in how the issue of immigration from Central and Eastern Europe after the EU enlargement in 2004 has been covered by the British press.
