Susan Glaspell’s Poetics and Politics of Rebellion, Iowa City, University of Iowa Press, 2017, 258 p
No full textInternational audience“In Susan Glaspell’s Poetics and Politics of Rebellion, Emeline Jouve has cleared away what Lawrence Langer once called Glaspell’s ‘old lace’ to reveal the ‘steel lining beneath the tender surface’—the politics and, really, outrage at injustice and belief in democratic idealism that are at the center of Glaspell’s dramaturgy—and her raison d’être as a writer.”—Drew Eisenhauer, Coventry UniversityA pioneer of American modern drama and founding member of the Provincetown Players, Susan Glaspell (1876–1948) wrote plays of a kind that Robert Brustein defines as a “drama of revolt,” an expression of the dramatists’ discontent with the prevailing social, political, and artistic order. Her works display her determination to put an end to the alienating norms that, in her eyes and those of her bohemian peers, were stifling American society. This determination both to denounce infringements on individual rights and to reform American life through the theatre shapes the political dimension of her drama of revolt.Analyzing plays from the early Trifles (1916) through Springs Eternal (1943) and the undated, incomplete Wings, author Emeline Jouve illustrates the way that Glaspell’s dramas addressed issues of sexism, the impact of World War I on American values, and the relationship between individuals and their communities, among other concerns. Jouve argues that Glaspell turns the playhouse into a courthouse, putting the hypocrisy of American democracy on trial. In staging rebels fighting for their rights in fictional worlds that reflect her audience’s extradiegetic reality, she explores the strategies available to individuals to free themselves from oppression. Her works envisage a better future for both her fictive insurgents and her spectators, whom she encourages to consider which modes of revolt are appropriate and effective for improving the society they live in. The playwright defines social reform in terms of collaboration, which she views as an alternative to the dominant, alienating social and political structures. Not simply accusing but proposing solutions in her plays, she wrote dramas that enacted a positive revolt.A must for students of Glaspell and her contemporaries, as well as scholars of American theatre and literature of the first half of the twentieth century
D. Stuttard (ed.), Looking at Medea: Essays and a translation of Euripides’ tragedy
No full text"Euripides’ Medea is one of the most often read, studied and performed of all Greek tragedies": such an introduction of the great Greek classics by Bloomsbury, the publisher of Looking at Medea. Essays and a translation of Euripides’ tragedy raises great expectations. Is it possible, in 2014, to offer new significant insights into Euripides’ most discussed play?

Integrating somatics and meditation into dance curriculum
No full textIt can feel impossible to find time to add moments of healthful relaxation to an already crowded dance schedule, but it's something that can enhance a dancer's body and mind. Many universities offer a few courses in somatic techniques, but often they are minimal. The author proposes series of daily classes be offered to dance majors, consisting of Improvisation or Gaga Technique, Stretch and Conditioning, Mindful Meditation, Yoga, and Foam Roller coupled with Self and Partner Massage
Exercise training to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus: How does it work?
No full textMetabolic syndrome (MetS) – a clustering of pathological conditions, including abdominal obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and hyperglycaemia – is closely associated with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and a high risk of cardiovascular disease.
A combination of multigenetic predisposition and lifestyle choices accounts for the varying inter-individual risk to develop MetS and T2DM, as well as for the individual amount of the increase in cardiovascular risk in those patients. A physically active lifestyle can offset about half of the genetically mediated cardiovascular risk. Yet, the extent to which standardized exercise programmes can reduce cardiovascular risk differs between patients. Exercise parameters, such as frequency, intensity, type and duration or number of repetitions, differentially target metabolic function, vascular health and physical fitness. In addition, exercise-induced molecular mechanisms are modulated by other patient-specific variables, such as age, diet and medication.
This review discusses the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the effects of exercise training on cardiovascular risk specifically in patients with MetS and T2DM.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship and/or publication of this article: NK, MB and MD are supported by the German Centre for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK, partner sites Berlin (NK) and Greifswald (MB, MD)).

Human-Computer Interaction and the Future ofWork
No full textAdvances in computing technology, changing policies, and slow crises are rapidly changing the way we work. Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a critical aspect of these trends, to understand how workers contend with emerging technologies and how design might support workers and their values and aspirations amidst technological change. This SIG invites HCI researchers across diverse domains to reflect on the range of approaches to future of work research, recognize connections and gaps, and consider how HCI can support workers and their wellbeing in the future.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Human-Centred Artificial Intelligenc
The Prospector and the Pioneer: A Key to the Selected Short Stories of Bret Harte
No full textMy dissertation deals with the contrast between what I designate as the prospector and the pioneer or the transient and rooted elements of the frontier. The tensions between these two ways of life, I believe, provide an insight into Harte\u27s fiction as indicated by the ten stories I discuss-- The Luck of Roaring Camp, The Outcasts of Poker Flat, Tennessee\u27s Partner, Brown of Calaveras, Miggles, The Idyl of Red Gulch, How Santa Claus Came to Simpson\u27s Bar, Wan Lee, the Pagan, A Passage in the Life of Mr. John Oakhurst, and “A Protégée of Jack Hamlin\u27s. The opening chapter includes my approach to these stories, a biographical sketch and critical survey of the author, and a discussion of the prospector and the pioneer. The following six chapters discuss the first six stories in detail. I analyze each work and then isolate three techniques for which Harte has been criticized--superficial characterization, paradox, and surprise ending--and demonstrate that they are consistent with the artistic intention of his writing. The concluding chapter discusses the remaining four stories more briefly and recapitulates my main point, that an understanding of what Bret Harte referred to as the Argonaut brotherhood\u27\u27 is essential to a sensitive reading of his short stories
L’architecte et son donjon
No full textBernard Herbecq réalise entre 1996 et 2000 un immeuble de logements qu’il qualifie de « donjon ». La manière dont les éaléments qui constituent l’édifice sont assemblés, la convocation de formes anthropomorphiques, l’évocation de références inscrites dans la mémoire collective confèrent à cette construction une présence particulière. Au travers des portraits du « donjon », de l’architecte mais aussi, en creux, de la chercheuse qui pose à l’objet ses propres questions, il s’agit de s’intéresser aux enjeux anthropologiques d’une architecture dite « expressionniste », et à la manière dont l’exercice du portrait – lieu d’une rencontre engagée entre un objet et un auteur – permet de les restituer.Between 1996 and 2000, Bernard Herbecq builds an apartment building that he describes as a “dungeon”. Several things give this construction a particular presence: the way the elements of the building are assembled, the use of anthropomorphic forms, the evocation of references inscribed in the collective memory. Through the portraits of the “dungeon”, of the architect, but also of the researcher who asks the object his own questions, we are interested in the anthropological issues of an “expressionist” architecture: How does the portrait – the place of an engaged encounter between an object and an author – allows the different aspects of this architecture to be explored
