The lordship of Galloway c. 1000 to c. 1250
No full textThe recorded history of the lordship under the House of Fergus
lasted from only e. 1130 to 1231, but its origins lie in the fusion of
the various peoples settled there by c. 1000. A blend of Celtic and
Germanic groups created a hybrid culture that had more in common with
Man and the Isles than mainland Scotland. Galwegian attitudes to and
relationship with Scotland before c. 1130 are unclear, but ties with
York and Man had greater value than Scottish claims to overlordship.
The emergence of a powerful line of rulers kept the ambitions of the
Crown in check, but any divisions in their ranks were exploited by the
Scots. Close family links with the Plantagenet kings provided a
counterbalance to Scottish interference, but brought English
overlordship instead. This had the side-effect of securing the
separation of the see of Whithorn from the Scottish Church.
Marriage and kinship ties brought the lords political power in
Scotland, England and Man, and control of estates outwith the
lordship. This in turn led to the closer integration of Galloway into
Scotland as its rulers gained high office in the kingdom. Thus the
lords developed a dual character as Anglo-Scottish baron and Celtic
chieftain. Introduction of Normanised colonists and the development
of 'feudal' military tenures fostered this transition and eroded
regional particularism. Integration was accelerated by elimination of
the male line and partition between heiresses married into
Anglo-Norman families. Division broke the power of Galloway, weakened
the influence of its new rulers over the Galwegians and gave the Crown
the control for which it had long striven

The Operatic Problem
No full textIn The Operatic Problem (1902), W. Johnson Galloway argues for the establishment of a "system for National Opera" in England, lamenting that England "alone in civilised Europe remained indifferent" to fostering the art form. While other nations (Italy, Germany, France) utilize state or municipal subsidies , England merely imports foreign performers, which is detrimental to native talent. Galloway insists this failure is not due to a lack of English talent, citing the historical success of "ballad operas" and composers like Purcell and Balfe.
He analyzes the failure of a major "patriotic effort" (the Royal English Opera House and its production of Ivanhoe) , arguing it was doomed by specific flaws—such as a stage "far too small for grand opera" , an "overloaded book" (libretto) , and the "folly of running [it] every night" —not by the concept of national opera itself.W. Johnson Galloway, The Operatic Problem (1902) (Operatik Sorun) adlı eserinde, "uygar Avrupa'da" sanat formunu destekleme konusunda "kayıtsız kalan tek" ülkenin İngiltere olduğunu belirterek bir "Ulusal Opera sistemi" kurulmasını savunmaktadır. Diğer uluslar (İtalya, Almanya, Fransa) devlet veya belediye sübvansiyonlarını kullanırken , İngiltere sadece yabancı sanatçıları ithal etmekte, bu da yerel yeteneklere zarar vermektedir. Galloway, bu başarısızlığın İngiliz yetenek eksikliğinden kaynaklanmadığını, "balad operaları" ile Purcell ve Balfe gibi bestecilerin tarihsel başarısını örnek göstererek vurgulamaktadır. Daha önceki büyük bir "yurtsever girişimi" (Kraliyet İngiliz Operası ve Ivanhoe prodüksiyonu) analiz eder ve bu girişimin başarısızlığının ulusal opera konseptinden değil, "büyük opera için çok küçük bir sahne" , "aşırı yüklü bir libretto" ve "[eseri] her gece oynatma çılgınlığı" gibi spesifik kusurlardan kaynaklandığını savunur
Teoria crítica da mídia: Chun, Galloway, Wark
No full textWe performed a presentation of the critical theory of the media (North American, emerged from the 2000s) present in the authors Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Alexander R. Galloway and McKenzie Wark. We distinguish three key themes, software, networks and classes, which engender a compilation of texts (articles and book chapters). From this, we outline the themes, questions, contexts and central theses raised by the authors, as well as make explicit, in final considerations, the scopes of their media archaeologies, which foment their critical theories.Realizamos uma apresentação da teoria crítica da mídia (norte-americana, surgida a partir dos anos 2000) presente nos autores Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Alexander R.

A partir disso, delineamos os temas, as questões, os contextos e as teses centrais levantadas pelos autores, assim como explicitamos, em considerações finais, os escopos de suas arqueologias de mídias, que fomentam suas teorias críticas
Bike Path Report
No full textThis report lays out a proposal for a bike path in Galloway Township. The preliminary goal of the Bike Path Plan was to provide a circulation that encompassed the majority of the township while also linking existing and proposed facilities such as play grounds, schools, and libraries. The next step was to look at the environmentally sensitive and wetlands area of the township. Finally, the bike path proposal was finalized.Prepared for Galloway Township with the aid of a grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Environmental Services.Purpose: To design a bike path plan for Galloway Townshi
An investigation of Japanese university students' attitudes towards English
No full textAs a global language, English has spread to the extent that non-native speakers now outnumber native speakers. In the last few decades, a body of research literature has emerged demonstrating the decreasing global relevance of native English speakers, and calling for a re-evaluation of English Language Teaching (ELT) practices, in order to better prepare students for using English as a global lingua franca. However, students’ needs and attitudes towards English and ELT must be fully investigated before curriculum changes can be suggested. Many attitude studies conclude that students favour native varieties of English. However, such research often uses single research methods and very few relate attitude studies to ELT. Further research is required regarding students’ attitudes towards English, the factors influencing these attitudes and how they relate to ELT. Moreover, few studies have investigated these proposals in any depth or explored the impact of course instruction in the global uses of English on students’ attitudes.This thesis is an investigation of Japanese university students’ attitudes towards English and English teachers in relation to the use of English as a lingua franca (ELF). In order to widen the scope of understanding, this research employed a mixture of quantitative and qualitative measures to obtain data about the participants and their attitudes. Thus, questionnaires, interviews and focus groups were used. Following the introduction, chapter two and three provide a literature review. Chapter four outlines the methodology, and the results are presented in chapters five, six and seven. Chapter eight presents a discussion of the results and the implications of this study for teaching English are discussed in chapter nine. The findings suggest that English is seen as a language belonging to native English speakers and those students want to learn native English. However, the results highlighted that a number of factors influence students’ attitudes. The findings also demonstrated that the study of Global Englishes influenced students in a number of ways, including their motivation for learning English, attitudes towards varieties of English and attitudes towards English teachers. It encouraged them to question notions of ‘standard English’, was helpful for future ELF communication and raised their confidence as English speakers. In sum, the findings of this study provide an empirical basis for a re-evaluation of ELT and suggest that Global Englishes Language Teaching is something that should be further investigated
