Inter-acción! : Música y cine en "Acción!" de Kevin Johansen
No full textEl siguiente trabajo de investigación parte de la propuesta interdisciplinaria planteada por Kevin Johansen en la canción intitulada ''Acción!'' del disco Sur O No Sur (2002) para dilucidar qué elementos la componen tanto en materia poético-guionística como musical y, a partir de allí, poner de relieve la interacción manifiesta entre música y cine. Realizamos, entonces, un pormenorizado análisis de la letra de la canción y, sobre todo, nos enfocamos a desentramar cuáles son las palabras que exponen, en ella, un vínculo más estrecho con el mundo de la cinematografía. Es importante destacar que la propuesta de Johansen realiza un trabajo poético en varios planos según la visión de un narrador omnisciente estructurador de la diégesis. La música realiza un contrapunto con las imágenes propuestas y de alguna manera localiza o, bien, enmarca las escenas. Esto se vincula, ciertamente, con la propuesta estética general de Kevin Johansen (hijo de una argentina y un estadounidense, quien teje –habitualmente, en sus canciones- un diálogo intercultural). Las estructuras narrativas planteadas por Barthes nos permiten dejar en claro algunos procedimientos realizados por el autor a la hora de contar la historia y vincularla, intertextualmente, con el mundo del cine.Mesa A.Facultad de Bellas Arte
Holding the line: The sustainability of police involvement in crime prevention
No full textThe opening lines of the handbook issued by Sir Robert Peel to all officers of the Metropolitan Police in 1829, were these:
‘It should be understood at the outset that the object to be attained is the prevention of crime. To this great end every effort of the police is to be directed. The security of person and property, the preservation of the public tranquility, and all the other objects of a police establishment will thus be better effected than by the detection and punishment of the offender after he has succeeded in committing the crime.’ Quoted in Reith (1948:62). Mayne, one of the first two Commissioners, added this principle: ‘To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military force and severity of legal punishment.’ Quoted in Boyd (2012). What exactly they meant by prevention is open to interpretation, and whether this was just a ruse to help convince a suspicious public that in England ‘continental’ methods of repression would not be adopted is not clear. But by the late 19th Century the reactive approach of catching criminals or ‘feeling collars’ had come to predominate; and in the 20th, the politically-significant rhetoric of ‘fighting crime’ achieved consensual hegemony, delivered huge resources to policing over the years and of course powerfully shaped the policing organisation. It was not until the 1960s that the first signs of resurgence of an explicit, practical, preventive role were seen
Mundo grande, mundo chico: una perspectiva desde las ideas a la producción de Kevin Johansen
No full textEn este trabajo se abren vías de acceso a la interioridad de la producción de Kevin Johnsen, David Abram, Timothy Morton y su obra The Spell of the Sensuous, vías que permiten establecer relaciones de analogía. Hay similitudes, relaciones especulares, retóricas y de inversión. Mientras Abram interpela a Morton mediante un recorrido de las ideas al arte, la obra de Johansen constituye un ejemplo en el sentido contrario: desde estructuras musicales, el componente semántico y poético de las letras de sus canciones, y las imágenes a las que se asocia a partir del aspecto visual de sus discos, el autor alcanza tópicos del ámbito de las ideas. Aquí se propone que la obra de Johansen habita un espacio entre el arte y el pensamiento y que, además –en lo que se configura como una segunda relación con Abram–, ese intersticio puede entenderse como construido por un tránsito de lo grande (lo global) a lo pequeño o local.En este trabajo se abren vías de acceso a la interioridad de la producción de Kevin Johnsen, David Abram, Timothy Morton y su obra The Spell of the Sensuous, vías que permiten establecer relaciones de analogía.

'Web of Life' - Profile of Kevin Petrie in Printmaking Today Winter 2024
No full textKevin Petrie, Professor of Creative Practice at the University of Sunderland, uses print to explore the novels and philosophy of Iris Murdoch writes Dr Miles Leeson. This is a 1200 word profile of Kevin Petrie and his recent work for 'Printmaking Today' which is the journal of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers. The piece gives an overview of Petrie's creative practice focusing on the novels and thinking of Dame Iris Murdoch (1919-1999). The piece discusses Petrie's evolving model of creative practice for this project: reading the novels, sketching to visualise elements, developing and combining images in the studio and then reengagement with Murdoch (through the community, literature and archive). Petrie's 'Other Journeys' and 'Web of Life' exhibitions are discussed.
The author, Dr Miles Leeson, is the Director of the Iris Murdoch Research Centre at University of Chichester and Visiting Research Fellow at Kingston University. He is the lead editor of the Iris Murdoch Review, the Series Editor of ‘Iris Murdoch Today’ with Palgrave Macmillan, and has published widely on Murdoch’s work. He published Iris Murdoch: Philosophical Novelist (Continuum) in 2010, the edited collection Incest in Contemporary Literature (Manchester University Press, 2018), the festschrift Iris Murdoch: A Centenary Celebration (Sabrestorm Fiction, 2019), the edited collection Iris Murdoch and the Literary Imagination (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) and is currently writing Iris Murdoch: Feminist.
