The censor without, the censor within: the resistance of Johnstone’s improv to the social and political pressures of 1950s Britain
No full textKeith Johnstone's improv, popularly known through the Theatresports format, was forged in the cultural and historical context of 1950s Britain. In this paper I will argue that Johnstone's incarnation of theatrical improvisation was defined by its reaction to the normalising forces exerted by the social elite upon the broader population and by civilised society upon the individual.
Johnstone's improv was a reaction against the Lord Chamberlain’s power to censor the British stage and a challenge to the internalised 'censor' British society of the time implanted in the minds of his students, stunting their creative imaginations. Johnstone borrowed elements of professional wrestling to break down the regimented conventions of the theatre space and enliven the spectator-performer relationship. As well as echoing Roland Barthes’ idealistic analysis of professional wrestling (Barthes, 1984: n.p.), Johnstone’s improv shares Barthes’ critique of the authority of the author and allows meaning to be generated out of the encounter between performers and spectators in the instant of the performance’s emergence. Through these processes, Johnstone’s improv defies the censor without (The Lord Chamberlain) by rooting out the censor within (the socially learnt inhibitions to the creative imagination).
By delineating the political and social pressures at play in the historical context of 1950s Britain and the ways that the stylistic conventions of Johnstone's improv resist and subvert these forces, I will demonstrate the emancipatory power latent in this mode of popular performance. This is a particularly timely analysis given the increasing authority of free market economics to dictate what appears on contemporary British stages, and the internalised censor that panoptical CCTV and social media is implanting within the minds of British citizens today
Shining light on the invisible: the faint structures around galaxies in the local volume
No full textThe low surface brightness component that envelops every galaxy - the stellar halo - is a crucial tool for galactic archaeology, as it holds the fossil record of past galactic mergers. Thus far, detailed studies of stellar halos have only been done on the nearest galaxies - Milky Way and M31. To broaden our understanding of galaxy assembly, it is necessary to extend this type of resolved star analysis to galaxies beyond the Local Group. However, this poses many challenges, as it requires deep wide-field observations with large telescopes to map individual stars and star clusters over large areas.
In this thesis, I present an analysis of the stellar halos of two high mass (~1011M☉) galaxies, M81 (D = 3.63 Mpc) and NGC 1052 (D = 19.2 Mpc), and a smaller ultra--diffuse galaxy F8D1 (D = 3.67 Mpc), using state-of-the-art wide-field data from Hyper Suprime-Cam on the 8.2m Subaru telescope and MegaCam on the Canada-France-Hawaii 3.6m telescope (CFHT). I study the stellar halos of these systems out to radii of >60 kpc using red giant branch (RGB) stars and globular clusters (GCs).
The Milky Way analogue, M81, sits at the centre of a small group of galaxies and has two close companions, M82 and NGC 3077 with which it is tidally interacting. In the first chapter, I examine the properties of the M81 stellar halo using RGB star count data from the Subaru telescope. I quantify the shape of the halo and extract star count profiles along several directions. Merging these with a diffuse light profile extracted from deep CFHT g-band observations, I construct a composite surface brightness profile that can be traced over 70 kpc. I use a multi-component model to derive the luminosity and mass of the stellar halo and quantify its radial behaviour. I find that the M81 stellar halo profile shows a shallow slope of -1.6 ± 0.1, similar to that of M31 but in contrast to smaller area studies which suggested a steeper fall-off. I also quantify the metal content [M/H] of the halo using the colours of the RGB stars and find evidence for some asymmetries along different axes, suggesting that the halo may not be well-mixed at the present epoch.
In the second chapter, I present the discovery of a significant ongoing accretion event in the halo of M81. Discovered more than 20 years ago, F8D1 is an ultra-diffuse galaxy that lies 115 kpc in projection to the Southwest of M81. My analysis of the distribution of RGB stars in the surrounding region uncovers a previously unknown giant tidal tail stretching for ≥60 kpc in the direction of NGC 2976 and M81. I quantify the structure of the tail across and along its length, and measure its photometric metallicity. I also use deep CFHT data to extract improved measurements for the main body of F8D1. The distance to NGC 2976 and the main body of F8D1 is estimated via the tip of the Red Giant Branch method to deduce the 3D distribution of the system. Although closer in projection, NGC 2976 was found not to be associated with the stream and was merely projected in the foreground. I found that the tail contains approximately 36% of F8D1’s luminosity, demonstrating that F8D1 is being severely disrupted, likely by M81.
In contrast to the M81 analyses which focus on RGB stars, the stellar halo of NGC 1052 has been studied via its population of GCs in the third chapter of this thesis. Using ugi-band data taken under excellent seeing conditions, I search for new candidate GCs using their photometric and morphological properties. The search criteria are devised by using the properties of a sample of spectroscopically-confirmed GCs in the halo of NGC 1052 and its neighbouring dwarf galaxies. I identify 643 GC candidates using their location in colour-colour space and characterise their spatial distribution, luminosity function and colour distribution. I show that GC candidates in the NGC 1052 stellar halo follow a smooth and shallow radial power law γ = -2.24 ± 0.21 out to ~120 kpc. In the inner stellar halo, the GCs show a striking correlation with faint tidal debris features associated with the ongoing merger between NGC 1052 and NGC 1047. No significant red/blue bimodality was found in the NGC 1052 stellar halo. The GC populations of dark matter deficient ultra-diffuse galaxies NGC 1052-DF2 and -DF4 have distinct properties compared to those of the NGC 1052 halo and hence are unlikely to be associated
Integrative Differentielle Relaxation (IDR) in der Psychotherapie – Möglichkeiten und Grenzen im dyadischen Setting
No full textIn der vorliegenden Arbeit wird der Ansatz der Integrativen Differentiellen Relaxation (IDR) unter Einbezug spezifischer Konzepte der Integrativen Therapie und aktueller stresstheoretischer Aspekte vorgestellt. Es erfolgt eine Standortbestimmung des IDR-Ansatzes bezüglich der allgemein üblichen Entspannungsverfahren wie bspw. Autogenes Training und Progressive Muskel-Relaxation. Die Spezifika des Ansatzes werden dargestellt und es wird der Frage von Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Einbettung in das dyadische psychotherapeutische Setting nachgegangen. Hierbei wird insbesondere auf die Übertragungs- und Gegenübertragungsaspekte fokussiert, die es zu beachten gilt, wenn „übende Elemente“ in das psychotherapeutische Setting einbezogen werden. Die theoretischen Ausführungen werden durch ein Fallbeispiel aus der Praxis der Autorin ergänzt.This text discusses Integrative Differential Relaxation (IDR) in relation to specific Integrative Therapy and stress-theoretical aspects. It follows a localization of the IDR approach within traditional relaxation techniques such as autogenic training and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). The discussion outlines the specifics of IDR and addresses its options and limits within the dyadic psychotherapeutic settings. In particular it focuses on conceptual questions of transference and countertransference relative to exercising elements as part of psychotherapy.In conclusion the author applies the theory to a case study.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/polyloge/10-2008-frankenstein-anft-annette-integrative-differentielle-relaxation-in-der-psychotherapie/peerReviewedpublishedVersio
FTAA: What's in It for the South?
Get PDFNot everyone in the Americas thinks that negotiating an FTAA is desirable. Some argue that the timing of the negotiations is being set by the agenda of the developed countries, particularly the US, and not that of the rest of the region. Others say that negotiating tariff reductions will do little to increase exports. The argument is that non-tariff barriers to trade must be part of the package, or the whole idea is a waste of time. These are just some of the opinions coming from the South. Interestingly, a number of these ideas are coming from Brazil, the hemisphere's most populous country after the US, and clearly a leader in the region. Presidential elections in Brazil took place in the fall of 2002 just prior to an FTAA Ministerial in Quito. In the lead up to the election, the FTAA positions of the opposition candidates, including the eventual winner, were much more protectionist than that of the outgoing government. If the protectionism carries through to official government policy, then the FTAA process will be much more difficult. However, this might just have been electoral talk. This paper will attempt to sort out truth from rhetoric.Brazil, non-tariff barriers, FTAA, South, International Relations/Trade,
