Abstract This chapter examines the Dublin production and critical reception of Christa Winsloe’s Children in Uniform, which ran to full houses at the Gate for three weeks in April 1934. The play, which deals with the love between a Prussian schoolgirl and her female teacher, had premiered in Leipzig (1930), run successfully in Berlin (1931), and been adapted for the screen as Mädchen in Uniform (1931) before it was translated into English for a successful London run in 1932-1933. Edwards and mac Liammóir probably saw the original German play in Berlin in 1931. Using the prompt copy, lighting plots, photographs and reviews, the chapter shows how Edwards used expressionistic lighting and sonic leitmotifs to underscore the authoritarian regime within which the relationship between the women develops. In following the Berlin staging, Edwards produced a more subversive version of the play than that seen by London audiences or cinema goers.

Abstract This article turns a critical eye on the arguments deployed by Pitchfork, one of the most popular music websites, when reviewing two artists: Vampire Weekend and Lil Wayne. Rhetorically analyzing the reception of these two artists is illuminating because both had indie breakouts in 2008, both release genre-spanning music, and both have had over a decade of commercial success. However, Vampire Weekend’s whiteness enables them to benefit from authenticity tropes that are unavailable to Lil Wayne. The analysis will show how Lil Wayne is essentialized as a rapper who is unauthorized to move beyond that genre. Overall, this article examines authenticity as the rhetorical move by which exclusion is constructed and highlights how assumptions about the relationship between race and performance are key to arguments about artistry.

Emergence of the Second Polish Republic in 1918 correlates well with the emergence of post-revolution Mexican state. Different aspects of the relationship between these two countries are analyzed. Both immediately established a political relationship and engaged in economical and cultural exchange. A number of Polish citizens emigrated to Mexico. At the end of interwar period Poland turned into an authoritarian regime related to the "Sanacja" movement ("Colonels' Poland"), while Mexico was governed by General Cardenas. The portrayals of Mexico in Polish press were focused on social issues and anti-clericalism of Cardenas, while Mexican press discussed Poland in relation to international politics.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between academic motivation and educational satisfaction of biology teacher candidates who continue their education in higher education by considering different variables. In the research, scanning design was used within the scope of quantitative model to reveal the current situation. The study group of the study consists of 121 biology teacher candidates who continue their education in two different state universities in Ankara. In order to collect the data of the research, "Student Satisfaction Scale for Education and Training in Higher Education" and "Academic Motivation Scale" were used. According to the results obtained from the research; It was determined that the satisfaction and academic motivation of biology teacher candidates about education in higher education is above the middle level. When the gender sub-dimension of the research results was examined, it was found that the education satisfaction and academic motivation of the male teacher candidates were higher than the female teacher candidates. When the university variable of teacher candidates is examined, it can be said that there is a difference in terms of satisfaction, especially between equipment and laboratory and communication with academic and administrative staff and these situations affect the satisfaction of the candidates. When the class level sub-dimension of the study was examined, it was concluded that there was a significant difference between the satisfaction of 4th grade candidates and those of other classes. While 4th grade candidates show a medium level of satisfaction, candidates in the other class show a high level of satisfaction. It is noteworthy that the reason for this is related to belonging and guidance in the sub-dimension of the satisfaction scale. It is seen that the highest satisfaction among candidates is in the first year. According to the results of the research, the frequency of voluntary coming to the department of the second university teacher candidates is higher than the frequency of voluntary coming to the department of the candidates in the 1st university. These results support that the motivation levels of the candidates may differ due to internal motivation reasons. One of the results obtained from the study is to determine a positive and moderate relationship (r = 438) between the education satisfaction and academic motivation of biology teacher candidates. This situation shows that when the education-teaching satisfaction levels of biology teacher candidates are affected, the academic motivation of the candidate may be affected at a moderate level.

The case study considered by the authors of this article is a peculiar example of a documentary that intervened in the landscape of democratization conflicts in the opaque context of current democracy in Indonesia. Half a century after the genocide, the film reopens the memory of a terrible and non- elaborated past, questioning the impact of the genocide in a difficult democratization process. Is it possible to move from an authoritarian regime that infected and corrupted all aspects of civil coexistence to a new and supposedly more democratic era without working through its traumatic legacy? What role might remorse and forgiveness play in the foundation of a possible new democratic pact? Joshua Oppenheimer’s film, The Act of Killing, confronts all these questions through the documentary use of the Indonesia genocide perpetrators’ words, body images, silences and denials. Engaging the images of this film through a semiotic perspective, the authors interrogate the relationship between aesthetic texts and political emancipating processes, as well as the role of traumatic memory elaboration in the foundation of democratization. Essential for their analysis is the investigation of how moving images are implicated in the imagination and actions of perpetrators, including their possible functions and effects in relation to the audience.

The Relationship

Labour NGOs have played a role, especially in southern China, in raising Chinese workers’ consciousness. This paper takes a historical perspective and argues that the relationship between labour NGOs and workers has changed in the past three decades, from one of workers’ dependency on Chinese labour NGOs and these NGOs’ dependency, in turn, on foreign NGOs in an asymmetrical relationship, to one more of partnership. More recently, some groups of workers have become cognisant of a divergence of interests between themselves and NGO advisors. The evolving relationship is analysed against the backdrop of an authoritarian political regime that necessitates all the actors to strategise in complex ways. A coordinated wave of strikes and other collective actions at Chinese Walmart stores in 2016 provides a case study.

Investigating the mechanism of authoritarian regime survival, Wallace’s book provides us with some great insights into the relationship among China’s rural-urban migration, urbanization and regime survival through a geopolitical perspective. He explicitly argues that it is through short-circuiting “the Faustian Bargain of urban bias” (p.121) that not only has the authoritarian regime in China successfully survived but also prospered in the past three decades.

This chapter examines the complex role played by religion in Jonson’s life; his relationship to the theatre; his works in various genres (plays, poetry, and masques), and in the critical reception of his writings. It considers the biographical evidence surrounding Jonson’s multiple religious conversions within the broader context of recusancy culture in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. It then examines some of the ways in which religion is represented in his plays and how this influenced and was shaped by the changes in religious culture that characterized Jonson’s lengthy professional career from the 1590s until the 1630s. The chapter concludes with an analysis of the relationship between religion and the theatre as it impacted upon Jonson’s writing and his own instrumentality—as a key cultural player—in redefining that relationship in early modern England.

Film And Video

Loïe Fuller’s innovative use of light and motion (the two essential elements of any screendance) prefigured many such twenty-first-century experiments. This chapter discusses how Fuller used theatrical lighting to connect with and energize her vision of dance—through visual effects such as mirrors and shadows—and shows the development in her later career of a cinematic vision, especially in her first forays into film. It also discusses Fuller’s Le Lys de la Vie, tracing its influence on the work of filmmakers and theorists such as René Clair and Germaine Dulac, as well as its importance for the use and critical reception of film and video in contemporary dance. The critical reception of her work in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries parallels in enlightening ways current dialogues about dance and technology, giving us an important historical perspective on the relationship between physical expression and visual abstraction, between body and image in dance.
