INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Background of Writing A language is a human phenomenon, which will differ some-fi what even from person to person; it will differ far more from one place to another and from one time to another. These variations in persons, times, and places give rise to such studies as dialectology, linguistic geography, historical and comparative linguistics; and, collaborating even more with other disciplines, lexicography, the making of dictionaries, orthography, the study of spelling, and paleography, the study of ancient texts. Language evolves in accordance with advancement or progress of thought by the users. However, its development will not be the same from one language to another, because every community of language users will have different backgrounds as required by the need of the community. It is closely influenced by the situation and circumstances where the language communityis located. This will be discussed by linguists working in the field of meaning, semantics. Semantics is one of the areas of science that discuss the ins and outs of meaning. We will be able to know that a word will have a meaning in accordance with the functions within the language used. We may also say that a word will experience change of meaning when it is being used in a new situation. We may also add that a meaning can be conveyed by speakers to the receiver of the message in different ways. Literally

  • Beckett and Nothing Or ‘A Pain in the Stomach’– of a More Fundamental Anxiety Whose Object Is Precisely an Unfathomable and Unbearable Nothingness
    11 It’s nothing: Beckett and anxiety Russell Smith On 11 August 1936, Samuel Beckett wrote the following passage – in German – in his notebook: How translucent this mechanism seems to me now, the principle of which is: better to be afraid of something than of nothing. In the fi rst case only a part, in the second the whole is threatened, not to mention the monstrous quality which inseparably belongs to the incomprehensible, one could even say the boundless. [. .] When such an anxiety [Angst] begins to grow a reason [Grund] must quickly be found, as no one has the ability to live with it in its utter absence of reason [Grundlosigkeit]. Thus the neurotic, i.e. Everyman, may declare with great seriousness and in all awe that there is merely a minimal difference between God in heaven and a pain in the stomach. Since both emanate from one source and serve one purpose: to transform anxiety into fear.1 August 1936 was a particularly anxious time for Beckett. He had been living in Dublin for about eight months, since returning from London just before Christmas 1935, having broken off his two-year course of psychoanalysis with Wilfred Bion. As James Knowlson notes, Beckett had presented himself to Bion with ‘severe anxiety symptoms’: ‘a bursting, apparently arrhythmic heart, night sweats, shudders, panic, breathlessness, and, at its most severe, total paralysis’. However, the fact that these symptoms – which fl ared up whenever he stayed with his mother in Dublin – continued to plague him in early 1936 perhaps ‘[led] him to despair that nothing had

So, he approached a documentary film maker as you do, and asked if they would help him tell it. The resulting documentary was seen by a theatre director and it inspired him to create a musical. A producing regional theatre backed him. He then bumped into a famous musical theatre star who introduced him to a well-known pop composer who was working with a lyricist and book writer. The theatre put on the production. A major producer saw it and offered them a West End theatre.

  • Negative Emotion in Music: What Is the Attraction? a Qualitative Study
    Empirical Musicology Review Vol. 6, No. 4, 2011 Negative Emotion in Music: What is the Attraction? A Qualitative Study SANDRA GARRIDO University of New South Wales EMERY SCHUBERT University of New South Wales ABSTRACT: Why do people listen to music that evokes negative emotions? This paper presents five comparative interviews conducted to examine this question. Individual differences psychology and mood management theory provided a theoretical framework for the investigation which was conducted under a realist paradigm. Data sources were face-to-face interviews of about one hour involving a live music listening experience. Thematic analysis of the data was conducted and both within-case and cross-case analyses were performed. Results confirmed the complexity of variables at play in individual cases while supporting the hypothesis that absorption and dissociation make it possible for the arousal experienced when listening to sad music to be enjoyed without displeasure. At the same time, participants appeared to be seeking a variety of psychological benefits such as reflecting on life-events, enjoying emotional communion, or engaging in a process of catharsis. A novel finding was that maladaptive mood regulation habits may cause some to listen to sad music even when such benefits are not being obtained, supporting some recent empirical evidence on why people are attracted to negative emotion in music. Submitted 2012 February 12; accepted 2012 June 2. KEYWORDS: music, emotion, negative valence, absorption; rumination WHY do we enjoy “a good cry”? It seems counter-intuitive that people would willingly seek out music or other aesthetic experiences that make them cry when we do our best to avoid things that make us cry in “real life” (Vingerhoets et al., 2001).

  • The Experience of Loyalist East Belfast
    The struggle to belong: Dealing with diversity in 21st century urban settings Amsterdam, 7-9 July 2011 The struggle to belong when feeling disconnected: the experience of loyalist east Belfast Ruth McAlister University of Ulster Shore Road Newtownabbey BT37 0QB [email protected] Paper presented at the International RC21 conference 2011 Session: 15 Urban Disorder and Social Cohesion Abstract Northern Ireland has emerged from a protracted, internal armed conflict and entered into its most ‘stable’ period in recent history, but it remains a fact in Northern Ireland that overt and insidious paramilitary violence and criminality still lurks in both Loyalist and Republican communities. The common perception is that loyalism has not benefitted as much in terms of the peace dividend compared to their Nationalist counterparts. The focus of this research is loyalist east Belfast where high levels of deprivation are experienced. The impact that relative deprivation has on Loyalist communities only serves to magnify the other problems faced in these areas, such as that of an ageing population, high crime rates, high unemployment, low educational attainment, poor housing, poor health, and lack of community cohesion. Loyalist communities are further described as having poor social capital, a lack of community infrastructure and poor access to funding. Consequently urban disorder is still rife in these areas, mostly orchestrated by disaffected young people who are too young to remember the Troubles; this can manifest itself in visual disorder, traditional sectarian interface violence. However, following the analysis of fifteen in-depth qualitative semi-structured interviews and fourteen hours of non-participant observation the preliminary findings of this research suggests that much of this disorder actually stems from feelings of disconnection from the current peace process, exclusion from the city and the perceived loss of local Loyalist identity which is fundamentally important for these communities.

I had turned in a project proposal to Aeveen, in fact, over the past week I had turned in several proposals to her, but I was still not satisfied. I knew that I wanted to focus on the economy, preferably the social economy of Belfast; however I had no idea which angle I wanted to pursue. Economic regeneration and social development has always fascinated me. Is economic regeneration and development a worthwhile tactic to pursue in a peace process? Will the reduction of unemployment and a growth in education performance lessen identity and religious tensions? Is dealing first with community development and second with community relations an effective way to go about conflict transformation? When I visited Northern Ireland the first time, the election campaign was on everyone’s minds. As we drove into South Armagh the first thing that really struck me about the election posters were the numerous references to water charges.

  • Pete Townshend – Classic Quadrophenia
    Pete Townshend – Classic Quadrophenia (80:32, CD,Deutsche Grammophon/Universal, 2015) Das wird voraussichtlich nicht oft vorkommen, dass eine Veröffentlichung der Deutsche Grammophon bei uns gewürdigt wird. Im Fall von Pete Townshend erübrigt sich allerdings die Diskussion, ob dies standesgemäß ist. Mit dieser Bearbeitung wird die Rockoper auch von dem klassischen Publikum wahrgenommen (werden müssen). Das Werk wurde auf einen Silberling geschaufelt. Mit über 80 Minuten Spielzeit ist die CD restlos ausgeschöpft (war nicht 79:10 das Maximum? KR). Es folgt ein Statement vom Meister himself, das von der Agentur-Website Networking-media.de entnommen ist und auch so im Booklet steht: „Neben meiner Arbeit fürThe Who und meiner eigenen Solokarriere habe ich eine Sammlung von Songs geschaffen, die auf Geschichten basieren. Ich habe beschlossen, einige Jahre (wahrscheinlich den letzten Teil meines kreativen Lebens) an einem neuen Magnum Opus zu arbeiten, aber ich plane auch eine endgültige Sammlung aller Projekte zu machen, in denen ich involviert war und die ebenfalls aus einer Geschichte heraus entstanden sind. Das Magnum Opus ist immer noch in Arbeit, aber „Quadrophenia“ war eines der ersten Stücke, bei dem ich bereit war, es in die Hände eines anderen Komponisten zu geben. Die vorliegende Version von „Quadrophenia“ ist aus diesem Prozess heraus entstanden. Ich bat meine PartnerinRachel Fuller, sich ein wenig Zeit zu nehmen, um eine komplette Orchesterpartitur dafür zu schreiben, die so arrangiert werden sollte, dass zukünftige Entrepreneure die verschiedensten Versionen daraus machen können – je nachdem, wie sie damit arbeiten wollen (das Wort Entrepreneur steht eigentlich für Unternehmer und ist hier vermutlich sicherlich nicht ganz die ideale Übersetzung, KB).
