Susanna:A Soundscape
No full textImmerse yourself in a soundscape of Susanna’s world – recordings within Hall’s Croft, its garden and at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage undulate with voices singing the ballads Susanna could have heard in her day-to-day life. A voice, perhaps it is Susanna, reads, thinks and acts on the writing of early modern women, including Amelia Lanyer, Mary Wroth, Dorothy Leigh – and the anonymous ‘receipts’ (recipes) for easing women’s health. A new poem responds to these women’s words.Free to listen wherever you are, meet early modern women and their world…This Soundscape is one of the outputs from The Susanna Hall & Hall’s Croft Project - a research and engagement project exploring Susanna Hall and her home, Hall's Croft, led by Dr Ailsa Grant Ferguson (University of Brighton) in collaboration with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Funded by AHRC (part of UKRI
Supporting vulnerable adults : citizenship, capacity, choice
No full textThe author examines theories of citizenship, capacity and choice when supporting vulnerable adults and uses the impact of the early implementation of the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 as a model. Her main themes are the extent of the reach of the state and the appropriateness of this with; a discussion of the tension between autonomy and protection and consideration of whether or not vulnerability impacts on the human rights of individuals. Concepts of harm and abuse are explored. Key questions answered include: does diminished intellectual capacity limit your rights as a citizen? Does vulnerability, and being at risk of harm or abuse, limit capacity? The author also explores whether the introduction of such legislation compromises individuals’ free will and choice. The book bases itself around the Scottish legislation and draws on the emerging results of empirical research undertaken by the author over the first two years following its implementation, the first of its kind in the UK. This provides a unique focus for the central debate on autonomy and protection and the link to citizenship and capacity. Supporting Vulnerable Adults provides an excellent overview of the tensions inherent in these policies for students and for those health and social care workers, policy makers and other practitioners whose work involves the vulnerable. Ailsa Stewart is a Lecturer in the Glasgow School of Social Work, a joint school of the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde
Shakespeare, Cinema, Counter-culture:Appropriation and Inversion
No full textAddressing for the first time Shakespeare’s place in counter-cultural cinema, this book examines and theorizes counter-hegemonic, postmodern, and post-punk Shakespeare in late 20thand early 21stcentury film. Drawing on a diverse range of case studies, Grant Ferguson presents an interdisciplinary approach that offers new theories on the nature and application of Shakespearean appropriations in the light of postmodern modes of representation. The book considers the nature of the Shakespearean inter-text in subcultural political contexts concerning the politicized aesthetics of a Shakespearean ‘body in pieces,’ the carnivalesque, and notions of Shakespeare as counter-hegemonic weapon or source of empowerment. Representative films use Shakespeare (and his accompanying cultural capital) to challenge notions of capitalist globalization, dominant socio-cultural ideologies, and hegemonic modes of expression. In response to a post-modern culture saturated with logos and semiotic abbreviations, many such films play with the emblematic imagery and references of Shakespeare’s texts. These curious appropriations have much to reveal about the elusive nature of intertextuality in late postmodern culture and the battle for cultural ownership of Shakespeare. As there has yet to be a study that isolates and theorizes modes of Shakespearean production that specifically demonstrate resistance to the social, political, ideological, aesthetic, and cinematic norms of the Western world, this book expands the dialogue around such texts and interprets their patterns of appropriation, adaptation, and representation of Shakespeare
