Molly MacEwen’s design career took off after serving as Micheál mac Liammóir’s apprentice at the Dublin Gate during the mid-1930s and following her design work on the 1938 Empire Exhibition in Glasgow. MacEwen went on to make a significant contribution to Irish and Scottish theatre design that has received little recognition in existing theatre scholarship. Illustrated by images of materials from (for the most part) the Scottish Theatre Archive’s Molly MacEwen collection (1948-1961), this article comprises an introduction to MacEwen, followed by a composite of selected conversations from interviews with MacEwen’s niece, Sue Harries, and nephew, Alasdair MacEwen. We learn of MacEwan’s familial and personal links to continental Europe, her unrequited devotion to mac Liammóir, and her successes in designing at Glasgow’s Citizens’ Theatre and for the Edinburgh International Festival after leaving the Gate in 1947 to work in Scotland. The dialogues in this article also reveal that MacEwen was a very shy and retiring woman, and that the men with whom she worked – including Edwards, mac Liammóir, and Tyrone Guthrie – took her for granted and possibly diminished the extent of her work. This situation, combined with gender inequalities and the collaborative nature of MacEwen’s design roles, may have led to her work being overlooked at the time and in pertinent publications on design and theatre. This article seeks to go some way towards recovering MacEwen’s important achievements for theatre history.

Aesthetic Awareness

Art of animation as an analysis of movement is based on the theory that the vision remains on the eye after the disappearance of the actual image, and this scientific theory is the same that the film industry was built upon. Recently, various techniques and ideas have entered the print design process as a means of expressing a phenomenon subject to the human will to change and elevate our aesthetic awareness and feelings, which rise in various forms of designs that reveal themselves in design work and are embodied in animation films. The design artwork falls within a group of intertwined elements fused with each other, reflecting the peculiarity of this work, as it is innovation and creating new and interesting things, so that the design is suitable for the desired purpose and beautifully. Perhaps the simplest type of optical illusion that can clarify to us the idea of the impression of the existence of an image that does not actually exist is represented in the decree paper.

Denne artikel vil følge Edward W. Saids begreb ”orientalisme” inden for et særligt områdestudium. Jødiske studier er ofte dybt politisk og etisk motiverede foruden at være etnisk motiverede i den forstand, at mange forskere er engagerede i jødisk kulturpolitik, ligesom Said var dybt engageret i palæstinensernes politiske sag. Mit spørgsmål vil således være: hvordan har jødiske studier, som områdestudium betragtet, modtaget orientalismebegrebet? Mine grundlæggende antagelser er: 1. Orientalismebegrebets familiaritet med kolonialisme og imperialisme er et problem for jødiske områdestudier, fordi common sense i feltet placerer studiet i en anden kontekst. 2. Problemet er ikke kun begrebsligt/fagligt, men også politisk, fordi jødiske områdestudier helt enkelt har en markant pro-zionistisk profil. Denne politisering er ikke kun ideologisk, men opleves af mange i feltet som eksistentiel/ontologisk pga. Holocaust, og derfor er en eller anden grad af zionisme doxa. Artiklen viser, at der findes tre skabeloner for orientalisme-receptionen i jødiske studier, som jeg kalder 1. Den kampusradikale, 2. Den postkoloniale og 3. Den historiske. Der argumenteres for, at Saids begreb orientalisme har medvirket til at opløse kultur- og socialanalytiske dikotomier i jødiske studier og dermed har ydet et væsentligt bidrag til området. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Jakob Egholm Feldt: Orientalism and Israel. Three templates for Orientalism in Jewish Studies This article analyses Edward Said’s concept of Orientalism in Jewish Studies. Jewish Studies are often highly politically, ethically and ethnically motivated, because many scholars are engaged in Jewish cultural politics just as Said was engaged in the Palestinian national cause. My question in this article is: How has the concept of Orientalism been received in Jewish Studies? My assump-tions are: 1. The familiarity between orientalism, colonialism and imperialism poses a problem for Jewish Studies, because common sense in the field places it in another context. 2. The problem is not only conceptual but also political, in as much as Jewish Studies have a significant Zionist profile. This politicization is not only ideological but also experienced as existential/ontological because of the Holocaust. Thus, a degree of Zionism is doxa in the field. The article shows that there are three models for using the concept of orientalism in Jewish Studies. I call them: the campus radical, the post-colonial, and the historical. I argue that Said’s concept of orientalism has contributed to dissolving analytical dichotomies in Jewish cultural studies and thus made a significant contribution to the field. Key words: Said, Israel, Zionism.

ABSTRACT This study was based on the background of weak ball possession or the dribbling speed of the Putra Lintas soccer player so that it could not be controlled properly and the ball was released from control and made it easier for the opponent to grab the ball. In addition, players who do not have good speed appear sluggish in dribbling the ball and players who do not have good flexibility look stiff and often have collisions with opponents which cause injury to the player himself. The research method belongs to the type of research that is descriptive. Analysis using a quantitative approach aims to determine and analyze the speed and flexibility of the dribbling abilities of soccer players. The independent variable is speed (X1) and flexibility (X2), while the dependent variable is the dribbling ability of the SSB Putra Lintas Muara Bungo soccer player (Y). The results showed that speed made a significant contribution to the Dribbling Ability of SSB Putra Lintas soccer players by 42.1% .2. Then Flexibility made a significant contribution to the Dribbling Ability of SSB Putra Lintas soccer players by 16.4% .3. Speed ​​and Flexibility together provide significant contributions to Dribbling Ability by 16.1%.   Key words: Analysis; Speed; Flexibility; Dribbling; Soccer

- social co-operatives in Reggio Emilia, focalizing on the quality of relationships, have developed work inclusion activities and methods for people suffering of mental distress. The different experiences of the various co-operatives have one common aim: meet each person's needs to support work inclusion and defend the person's dignity. Each co-operative offers however different services that combine diverse learning and working contexts with personal abilities and autonomy. These developments have led co-operatives and local authorities to co-design work inclusion programmes and tutoring tools, and to co-manage their development, evaluation and revision. Guidelines for work inclusion of people with mental distress were printed and provincial work inclusion agencies were created. These local experiences should be studied to keep them focused on the changing needs of the population.Key words: social cooperation, relational goods, psychosocial rehabilitation, advocacy, provincial agencies for work inclusion, personalised projects.Parole chiave: cooperazione sociale, beni relazionali, percorsi socio-terapeutici riabilitativi, advocacy, nuclei territoriali, riabilitazione, progettazione individuale.

- The article addresses the issue of the relation between historiography and the political debate. It examines the historiographic works concerning the events which lead to the emergence of the State of Israel between 1947 and 1949 as one of the key-periods in the history of the contemporary Middle East. In particular, the analysis focuses on the debate originating in the mid 1980s on the revision of traditional Israeli historiography undertaken by the so-called ‘New Historians', of whom Benny Morris is a leading representative. By drawing on the notion of the ‘public use of history, the author reverses the perspective, showing how the academic debate itself is characterised by strongly polemical aspects. The historiographic research on 1948, to which the works of the New Historians provide the latest significant contribution in terms of analysis of new sources, constitutes a firmer knowledge than the tones of the debate would suggest. Key words: public use of history, Israel, New Israeli Historians, first Arab-Israeli war, Palestine, Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The Common

This is the text – appropriately, a ‘performance text’ – of the inaugural lecture delivered at Royal Holloway College, University of London, on 9 March 1993, by Jacky Bratton, following her appointment as Professor of Theatre and Cultural History. Although she holds her chair at a former women's college, Jacky Bratton reflects that the introduction of co-education in such institutions has in practice left them as male-dominated as the rest. Ironically, this continued marginalizing of women in academic life reflects the common view of theatre studies as itself a marginal discipline – almost as suspect as Jacky Bratton's own specialist concern with its more popular aspects. Looking at the ways in which women have been marginalized within theatre history, she challenges in particular the received wisdom that the alleged ‘decline of the drama’ in the nineteenth century was reversed by a striving for respectability usually traced to the rattle of cups-and-saucers on box sets, and apotheosized in Irving's knighthood: instead, she reflects upon the radical impulses of earlier nineteenth-century theatre, and at the ways in which the gender of three women who worked within it influenced their theatrical careers, their social standing, and their own attitudes towards both.

Inside View

Part memoir, part theatre history, in this illustrated essay Joe Vaněk invites us to an inside-view on the design process. Choosing key performances of European plays (Brecht, Ibsen) adapted by Irish writers, Vaněk takes us through the thought processes and work practices that bring a play from page to stage, with descriptions and photographs to illustrate his design choices and thinking. Additionally, he offers us insights into working with Irish playwrights who examine Ireland’s relationship to Europe, for example in his designs for Frank McGuinness’s Innocence: The life of Caravaggio, and the work of Brian Friel and Hugo Hamilton. Vaněk traces his own influences, from the theatre work of the Czech designer Josef Svoboda to painters, architecture, and landscape. His reflections reveal the complexity of the role of the designer and the intricate workings of theatre practice Keywords: Theatre design, costume design, Irish playwrights, Brian Friel, Frank McGuinness, Hugo Hamilton, Gate Theatre

As If

‘An actor is seen as if through crystals’, wrote Artaud in 1925, and Janne Risum here uses the analogy of the prism within which to discuss the range of inter-reflecting and interpenetrating analogies the theatre has borrowed from the other arts and from life in its attempts to define itself – analyzing also why it seems impelled to do so through the use of metaphor. Drawing upon the work of major theatre practitioners including Decroux, Stanislavsky, Craig, Meyerhold, Lecoq, Mnouchkine, and Barba, she explores terms which have sometimes been sharply redefined, sometimes allowed to remain indeterminate but allusive. She concludes that ‘in acting, many crystals are possible. There is an infinite number of ways to cut your own crystal, and some pieces of basic advice. There is only one condition: you have to cut one.’ Janne Risum teaches in the Institut for Dramaturgi at Aarhus University, Denmark, and is also an active participant in the International School for Theatre Anthropology. She has published widely in the fields of acting, theatre history, and women in theatre, and contributed ‘The Voice of Ophelia’, a study of the performance of Julia Varley in The Castle of Holstebro, to NTQ38 (May 1994).
