This chapter reflects on the doubleness of translation as the condition of existence of Asian performances of Shakespeare. It begins with the experience of hearing echoes of the original English lines when listening to Shakespeare’s texts translated into a language one does not speak. To address the interculturality of reception of Asian Shakespeare performances, the Asian Shakespeare Intercultural Archive (A|S|I|A, http://a-s-i-a-web.org), a collaborative project by scholars, translators, and practitioners, developed an approach to archiving production videos, scripts, and data in four parallel languages: English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The chapter examines the A|S|I|A archival process in relation to the position of the English scripts in multidirectional translations, and to the detailed data created by the project team. It concludes by positing comparative research into the use of the ‘traditional’ by tracing the varying occurrences of the term in the data.

Retrospective Case Study

<p>Predicting the outcome of a construction project largely relies on estimated targets of time and cost. Still, hitting the targets does not mean that the project is a success on all performance levels. Here, a retrospective case study was undertaken on a construction project identified as a successful project by the partners involved. The purpose of the study was to validate conceptual design indicators of a high-performance construction project as reported in the literature, by answering the following research questions: “What characterizes the dialogue between the different disciplines; (2) What is the dialogue about; and (3) When in the process do questions arise?” Findings indicate that the interprofessional dialogue within the project team was well established. The paper introduces a discussion that the dialogue benefited from the collaborative project environment as well as the early design intent. Further, the study also suggests that the interprofessional dialogue supported a sound project team development.</p>

Online Feedback

The pilot study described is an innovative model which ensures that lecturers receive relevant and tailored feedback from students in order to improve their delivery of lectures, ultimately improving student education.The current method of lecture feedback at Warwick Medical School asks students to comment on a whole term’s worth of lectures at once – consequently feedback is often non-specific and unconstructive.This project has been rolled out by a collaborative team of four medical students and one Faculty member. The project team designed a training event to instruct 10-15 students from each year group to deliver constructive and useful feedback to lecturers. The project team designed the online feedback form, which is completed by the trained students after observing a lecture. Students sign up to review lectures via a digital platform managed by the project team. Once the feedback form is submitted, it is quality-control-assessed by a Faculty member before being sent anonymously to the lecturer.This project allows medical students to provide lecturers with meaningful information about what they did well and how they can improve. Initial feedback from lecturers has been positive; they have valued the constructive criticism and the suggestions they have been given for improving future lectures.

The objective of this paper is to provide ideas on how to better manage a team transition in a design project. Team transitions can be planned or can occur unexpectedly, in either case, disruption can be diminished by taking the appropriate measures. We present an approach on team transitioning and relate it to our experience with undergraduate senior design teams working on a collaborative project that lasts 1 year while the course is limited to 1 semester. Our observations and recommendations include where to start, damage containment measures, how to retrieve the project’s knowledge, what to look for in a replacement team, and how to improve the odds in the event of an unexpected transition.

Law Making

Abstract Friedrich Kratochwil engages critically with the emergence of a global administrative law and its consequences for the democratic legitimacy of global governance. While he makes important contributions to our understanding of global governance, he does not sufficiently discuss the differences in the institutional design of new forms of global law-making and their consequences for the effectiveness and legitimacy of global governance. I elaborate on these limitations and outline a comparative research agenda on the emergence, design, and effectiveness of the diverse arrangements that constitute the complex institutional architecture of contemporary global governance.

The paper presents an inside evaluation of the EuroPsyT project, funded by the EU Leonardo Program in 1999-2001. While standard research usually neglects to reflect on the internal and external constraints and opportunities under which research results are achieved, the paper stresses exactly those aspects: starting from a brief description of the overall objectives of the 11 countries project, the paper proceeds to describe the macro-context and the internal strengths and weaknesses of the project team, the internal procedures of cooperation,. and obstacles encountered during the research process. It winds up in noting some of the project's achievements and with a look towards future research.
