Episode 35: Alexis Castellanos, Author of “Isla to Island”, and Her Panel Presentation during the Operación Pedro Pan Two-Day Event
No full textIn Part 1 of “Operación Pedro Pan: The Voices and Stories of Cuba’s Child Exodus—A Knights HistoryCast Mini-Series,” the Department of History’s Sebastian Garcia talked with Alexis Castellanos, an author, illustrator, graphic novelist, and a panelist at the esteemed, conspicuous, and powerful “Operación Pedro Pan: Honoring the Cultural, Historical Legacy of Cuba’s Child Exodus” Two-Day Program that Florida Humanities, UCF’s Department of English and Department of Modern Languages and Literatures sponsored (see https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/ for more details on sponsors and the program in general).
Sebastian structured this specific episode on Alexis Castellanos’ Isla to Island, a wordless graphic novel grounded by her personal family history and the history of Operación Pedro Pan (Operation Peter Pan). By analyzing such a historic event through the medium of fiction, Sebastian argued that this is one of the most unique Knights HistoryCast episodes of all time. Naturally, their conversation expanded to what she talked about during her panel presentation in Panel One, Day 1 of the event that featured “internationally renowned scholars that discussed the political, historical, and cultural legacy of Operación Pedro Pan (1960-1962).” (https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/)

THE MYSTIC ROAD : SELECTED POEMS - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
No full text
Alexis karpouzos (born on April 09, 1967) is a philosopher, author, spiritual master and pioneer of higher consciousness. He is author of several books on philosophy, metaphysics, spirituality, modern science. His most famous books are: ‘’Universal consciousness’’, ‘’non-duality’’, ‘’An ocean of souls’’, ‘’Beyond the heaven’’. Alexis Karpouzos is also a recording artist. He has recorded two music albums and twenty-four singles songs. He has also appeared in two documentary films, television and radio productions. He is the pioneer of the post-ontology consciousness and the wisdom of universal wholeness. The global language of poetry of Alexis Karpouzos, by following the paths of wisdom, is a vehicle for transmitting human knowledge and values, history, ancient traditions, and links with nature. It transmits the human values and worldly knowledge that are essential for opening ourselves to the Other. Poetic creation, therefore, forges very strong links between humans -it transcends beyond languages, beliefs and cultures. Each poem appears in its original form, in a vibrant celebration of life, diversity, language, and the enduring power of poetry. At a time when the Humanities are under threat, this book offers a defense of poetry within the context of growing interest in mindfulness in spirituality, in consciousness, in art, in education.</p

Rêves de femmes en sororité dans "L’Étoile Absinthe" et "L’Espace d’un cillement" de Jacques Stephen Alexis
No full textInternational audienceJacques Stephen Alexis takes a sorority approach to the place of women in two of his works: L’Espace d’un cillement and L’Étoile Absinthe. Analyzing questions of desire, couple and domination from the angle of the woman’s duality and the systemic nature of the relationships that the sister-women maintain with each other as prostitutes at the ‘Sensation Bar’, he puts forward the idea of a spatial and temporal orientation to be found in order to free oneself from prostitution and be fully one’s own, thus demonstrating a great modernity. Returning to the onomastics that separate Églantine from La Niña Estrellita, he analyzes the relationship between El Caucho and La Niña via the recognition scene that places them on the same plane.Therefore, Jacques Stephen Alexis’s work can be labelled ‘avant-garde’, as it raises questions of lesbianism, transsexuality and intersectionality. The novel indeed places sisterhood at the heart of the intrigue and the author choose to put women’s lives at the forefront.Jacques Stephen Alexis se place du côté de la sororité pour évoquer la place des femmes dans deux de ses œuvres : L’Espace d’un cillement et L’Étoile Absinthe. Analysant les questions de désir, de couple et de domination sous l’angle de la dualité de la femme et du caractère systémique des relations que les femmes-sœurs entretiennent entre elles comme prostituées au Sensation Bar, il met en avant l’idée d’une orientation spatiale et temporelle à trouver pour s’affranchir de la prostitution et être pleinement à soi, faisant ainsi preuve d’une grande modernité. Revenant sur l’onomastique qui sépare Églantine de la Niña Estrellita, il analyse la relation entre El Caucho et La Niña via la scène de reconnaissance qui les place sur le même plan. Par ces choix, Jacques Stephen Alexis est avant-gardiste, évoquant les questions de lesbianisme, de transsexualité ou d’intersectionnalité avant l’heure. En effet, il place la question de la sororité au cœur de la vie des femmes.PlanIntroduction1. La grandiose : « la prostituée »1.1. L’églantier versus la petite étoile1.2.

Dear Jacques ... Lecoq in the twenty first century
Get PDFThis essay considers Jacques Lecoq's influence almost 20 years after his death. Arguing that Lecoq's pedagogy is largely as relevant today as it was when he was still alive, the author speculates whether Lecoq would have welcomed developments in the use of digital technology within live performance. The essay proposes that much of Lecoq's teaching with its emphasis on play, complicite, invention, imagination and the creative actor remains relevant to contemporary developments in site-specific, immersive and postdramatic theatre. The essay is constructed in the form of a posthumous letter to Jacques Lecoq
