Conclusion

Author(s):  
Rachel Crossland

The conclusion returns to some of the ideas raised in the Introduction, specifically Gillian Beer’s suggestion that literature and science ‘share the moment’s discourse’. It argues for the relevance of this model to different periods and disciplines, while also suggesting some specific potential areas for further development in relation to the present study, including generalist periodicals. It also considers some of the evaluative criteria that have previously been suggested for studies in the field of literature and science, and raises some questions as to the direction in which that field of research should now move. The study concludes finally by suggesting that literature and science, as well as a range of other disciplines, some of which are included here, do more than share the moment’s discourse—they share in the creation, development, and modification of that discourse because they share the moment itself.

In this article, Victoria Hunter explores the concept of the ‘here and now’ in the creation of site-specific dance performance, in response to Doreen Massey's questioning of the fixity of the concept of the ‘here and now’ during the recent RESCEN seminar on ‘Making Space’, in which she challenged the concept of a singular fixed ‘present’, suggesting instead that we exist in a constant production of ‘here and nows’ akin to ‘being in the moment’. Here the concept is applied to an analysis of the author's recent performance work created as part of a PhD investigation into the relationship between the site and the creative process in site-specific dance performance. In this context the notion of the ‘here and now’ is discussed in relation to the concept of dance embodiment informed by the site and the genius loci, or ‘spirit of place’. Victoria Hunter is a Lecturer in Dance at the University of Leeds, who is currently researching a PhD in site-specific dance performance.

Tari Merak Jawa Barat, merupakan jenis tarian tontonan (pertunjukan). Tari Merak pertama kali diciptakan oleh Rd. Tjetje Somantri pada tahun 1955. Kemudian pada tahun 1965, tari Merak dikemas kembali oleh Irawati Durban Ardjo, yang bertujuan untuk dipertunjukkan pada misi kesenian Soekarno. Tari Merak yang sering kita jumpai saat ini merupakan Tari Merak karya Irawati Durban Ardjo.Tarian ini mempresentasikan keindahan yang dimiliki oleh burung merak pada saat burung merak jantan melebarkan ekornya. Kebanyakan masyarakat Indonesia salah berasumsi jika tarian ini bercerita tentang kehidupan burung merak betina, sedangkan sang jantanlah yang memamerkan keindahan bulu ekornya. Sang jantan melakukan gerak-gerik yang tampak seperti tarian gemulai untuk menunjukkan pesona dirinya, sehingga sang betina terpesona dan bersedia kawin dengannya. Gerakan itulah yang mengekspresikan dibuatnya Tari Merak. Untuk mendukung keindahan tari, maka dibuat bentuk visual Merak pada kostum Tari Merak yang telah diinovasikan oleh Irawati. Irawati mengonsepnya melalui ide-ide kreatif dan mengindahkan esensi burung merak pada bentuk visual. Beberapa bagian kostum tari Merak Irawati, yaitu siger (mahkota), susumping, giwang (anting), kelat bahu, garuda mungkur, gelang tangan, kemben, ekor, Ikat pinggang, kacih, selendang, dan sinjang. Kostum yang memiliki banyak unsur estetika seperti garis (lurus, lengkung, bergelombang), bentuk (lingkaran, setengah lingkaran, persegi panjang, ekor merak, dan penyederhanaan burung merak), ornamen (ragam hias binatang, ragam hias tumbuhan, geometris, ulir). Beberapa motif yang digunakan yaitu motif ekor, bulu, ataupun keseluruhan bentuk burung merak. ABSTRACT Peacock Dance is a type of spectacle dance (performance). The Peacock Dance was first created by Rd. Tjetje Somantri in 1955. Then in 1965, the Merak dance was repackaged by Irawati Durban Ardjo, which aimed to be performed on Soekarno's art mission. The Peacock Dance that we often encounter at the moment is the Peacock Dance by Irawati Durban Ardjo. This dance presents the beauty of peacocks. The peacock is the inspiration for the creation of the Peacock dance and its beauty is found when the male peacock widens its tail. Most Indonesian people wrongly assume that this dance tells the story of the life of a female peacock, while the male exhibits the beauty of its tail feathers. The male performs movements that look like graceful dances to show his charms so that the female is fascinated and willing to marry him. That movement expresses the Peacock Dance. With the visual form of the Peacock Dance costume that has been innovated by Irawati. Irawati conceptualized it through creative ideas and heeded the essence of the peacock in visual form. Some parts of the Merraw Irawati dance costume, namely siger (crown), susumping, ear studs (earrings), kelat shoulders, garuda mungkur, wristbands, kemben, tail, belt, belts, shawls, and sinjang. Costumes that have many aesthetic elements such as lines (straight, curved, wavy), shapes (circles, semicircles, rectangles, peacock tails, and simplifications of peacocks), ornaments (various animal decoration, plant decoration, geometric, threaded). Some of the motifs used are the tail, feather, or overall shape motif.

This chapter demonstrates how assumptions of racial superiority and inferiority tightly bound together statistical races, social science, and public policy. The starting point of this is constitutional language. The U.S. Constitution required a census of the white, the black, and the red races. Without this statistical compromise there would not have been a United States as it is today. In the early censuses slaves were counted as three-fifths of a person, a ratio demanded by slaveholder interests as the price of joining the Union. A deep policy disagreement at the moment of founding the nation was resolved in the creation of a statistical race. Later in American history the reverse frequently occurred. Specific policies—affirmative action, for example—took the shape they did because the statistical races were already at hand.

This chapter describes the outcome of the creation of an eCare Network for frail elderly people in 2005. This was developed over the years as a network of citizens, associations, institutions, and professionals, providing a relational and support ecosystem to frail elderly people. The issue of financial sustainability of the health and social welfare system, in the phase of ongoing demographic revolution, has stimulated the creation of a service that aims to encourage the permanence of frail elderly citizens at home to prevent the onset of frailty or dependency and to improve their quality of life by fighting social isolation through the use of appropriate IT technologies. Community-based voluntary associations also play a key role in the eCare Network for the frail elderly. Finally, in addition to a detailed description of the activities that have been put in place, the service outcomes, innovations, and prospects for further development are illustrated.

Chapter 1 investigates the moment at mid-century when American women’s poetry was, for the first time, being collected and marketed to a wide audience. By looking closely at the structures and visual components of the anthologies of the late 1840s, this chapter shows just how vexed the placement of the “American woman poet” into literary culture was. While women poets had been deployed in the service of a narrative about American literary culture earlier, it was with the creation of these anthologies that a whole host of conventions got embraced by writers and editors alike. By highlighting the diversity of approaches and poems contained within these anthologies, this chapter returns to the ways in which women’s poetry resisted being flattened into one kind of poem and women poets into one image.

This commentary focuses the creation of often contradictory disciplinary boundaries, practices, and institutions. It argues that writing on colonial linguistics can traverse several components of this knowledge project. These colonial texts can tell us about the researchers’ encounter with materials, i.e. the data of linguistics, and with the human sources of this data, the “informants.” They tell us about the search for patterns, the moment of generalization and theorizing. And they tell us about the workforce of the knowledge project, particularly its academic workers, and the publication of ‘results’. The collective character of the project, and its close but ambiguous relationship with the political structure of empire, stand out very clearly. There are various conclusions to be drawn at this point. One thing we can be sure about: there is struggle ahead before we have decolonized the academy.

In this article a new reading of Totem and Taboo is presented: the emergence and further development of totemic and advanced religion is interpreted from the perspective of Freud's case study of Little Hans and his short essay on family romances, in which he elaborates the psychic dynamics involved in father substitution and father exaltation. Freud's view of God as exalted father cannot be interpreted in terms of projection – a mechanism that is primarily associated with animism, belief in demons and philosophies of life – but should be associated with a decrease of hostility, estrangement and distantiation from the physically present father.
