Over Lunan (presentation of performance)
No full textOver Lunan is a multifaceted collaborative project, commissioned by Aproxima Arts, originally as the finale work as part of the Arbroath 2020+1 celebrations. https://aproxima.co.uk/over-lunan The work includes a series of sub-strand elements: - Radiophonic Work / Radio Play (Recording 42 mins). - Sound Design for immersive theatre production (no fixed duration). - Musical composition for finale of immersive theatre event (Live Performance with Recorded Sound 20 mins). - Atra-hasis musical radio montage (Recording 18 minutes). - Atra-hasis choral work (Score and Recording) (9 minutes). The work was inspired by the Angus coastline of Lunan Bay, its rich geological history and creative links with contemporary geopolitical events. "Our world is formed and connected by the sea. Thousands of years ago, these coastlines were shaped by cataclysmic events; in Mesopotamia too, mythical floods gave rise to stories of the Apkallū - half-fish, half-human sages who emerged from the sea to bring wisdom to our ancestors, living in what became known as the 'cradle of civilisation'. Thousands of years later, those same lands lie decimated by war and the world’s oceans are rising again… what would the Apkallū say if they returned to speak for one last time?" The project involved a diverse team of creative collaborators including: Angus Farquhar - Director Approxima Arts Purni Morell - Dramaturg and script writer (former Director of Unicorn Theatre), Andrew Knight-Hill - Composer of electro-acoustic music, Bede Williams - Conch John and Patrick Kenny - Conch and Carnyx players Cameron Sinclair - Musician and composer Robin Laing - Actor Steve Urquhart - Radio Producer (BBC Scotland) Choir - Chamber Choir from the University of St Andrews Music Centre Rebecca Black Sarah Greer James McNinch Nathanael Fagerson Ross McArthur Guy Minch Elizabeth Unsworth Wilson Jane Pettegree Choir Director - Claire Innes-Hopkins. This work formed a significant part of the AHRC Leadership Project - Audiovisual Space, developing collaborative working skills and providing a platform for critical reflection and consideration of creative practices in media. Working with established professionals with extensive experience - Angus Farquhar, Purni Morell, Steve Urquhart – provided invaluable insights into collaborative working practices involved in delivering an industry ready output. Radio Play was broadcast on Radio North Angus, Resonance FM and Radiophrenia 2022. Beach production was attended by 20 audience groups of 50 people as part of the Arbroath 2020+1 festival and received highly favourable reviews in the press and media. The project continues to be disseminated via conferences and events and engaged with online. Outputs for the project will inform the development of outputs for the Audiovisual Space project
Cultural myths, superstitions, and stigma surrounding dementia in a UK Bangladeshi community
No full textThe last three census data highlighted that UK Bangladeshi communities have the worst health outcomes. This includes a higher risk of type two diabetes and heart diseases; both are risk factors for developing vascular dementia. However, little is known about Bangladeshi community members’ understandings of dementia, including cultural myths. This paper focuses on the cultural myths, superstitions, and stigma surrounding dementia in an English Bangladeshi community from the direct experiences of people living with dementia, their caregivers, and the views of dementia service providers/stakeholders. This qualitative research was undertaken with three distinct participant groups using semistructured interviews (n = 25), who were recruited from community settings. The first and second participant groups explored the experiences of people with dementia (n = 10) and their family caregivers (n = 10). The third group examined stakeholders’/service providers’ views (n = 5). Interviews were recorded digitally and transcribed verbatim. Findings were reached using an interpretive approach, emphasising the sense people make in their own lives and experiences and how they frame and understand dementia. The study revealed that participants with dementia and their caregivers have “alternative” knowledge about dementia and do not necessarily understand dementia in a Westernised scientific/biomedical context. Misconceptions about dementia and belief in various myths and superstitions can lead people to go to spiritual healers or practice traditional remedies rather than to their GPs, delaying their dementia diagnosis. This paper concludes that there is a lack of awareness among the Bangladeshi participants and a need for targeted awareness about dementia to help dispel cultural myths and combat the stigma surrounding dementia within the Bangladeshi community
Education in post-Reformation Scotland : Andrew Melville and the University of St Andrews, 1560-1606
No full textAndrew Melville (1545-1622) was the leader of the Presbyterian wing of the Scottish
Kirk between 1574 and 1607, and he and his colleagues were a perpetual irritant to
James VI and I in his attempts to establish a royal and Episcopal dominance over the
Kirk. Yet much of Melville’s reputation has been based on the seventeenth-century
Presbyterian historical narratives written by the likes of James Melville (Andrew’s
nephew) and David Calderwood. These partisan accounts formed the basis of modern
historiography in Thomas M’Crie’s monumentally influential Life of Andrew Melville.
Modern historians broadly agree that Melville’s portrayal as a powerful and decisive
church leader in these narratives is greatly exaggerated, and that he was at best an
influential voice in the Kirk who was quickly marginalised by the adult James VI.
However, only James Kirk has commented at any length on Melville’s other role in
Jacobean Scotland—that of developing and reforming the Scottish universities.
Melville revitalised the near-defunct Glasgow University between 1574 and 1580, and
from 1580 to 1607 was principal of St Mary’s College, St Andrews, Scotland’s only
divinity college. He was also rector of the University of St Andrews between 1590
and 1597. This thesis provides a detailed account of Melville’s personal role in the
reform and expansion of the Scottish universities. This includes an analysis of his
direct work at Glasgow, but focuses primarily on St Andrews, using the untapped
archival sources held there and at the Scottish National Library and Archives to create
a detailed picture of the development of the University after the Reformation. This
thesis also evaluates the intellectual content of Melville’s reform programme, both as
it developed during his time in Paris, Poitiers and Geneva, and as we see it in action in
St Andrews
