Shakespeare and child's play : performing lost boys on stage and screen
No full text'Childness' - the essential nature of being a child - remains a vital critical issue for us today. In this text, Carol Rutter shows how recent performances on stage and film have used the range of Shakespeare's insights in order to re-examine and re-think these issues in terms of today's society and culture.
Shakespeare wrote more than fifty parts for children, amounting to the first comprehensive portrait of childhood in the English theatre. Focusing mostly on boys, he put sons against fathers, servants against masters, innocence against experience, testing the notion of masculinity, manners, morals, and the limits of patriarchal power. He explored the nature of relationships and ideas about parenting in terms of nature and nurture, permissiveness and discipline, innocence and evil. He wrote about education, adolescent rebellion, delinquency, fostering, and child-killing, as well as the idea of the redemptive child who 'cures' diseased adult imaginations. 'Childness' - the essential nature of being a child - remains a vital critical issue for us today. In Shakespeare and Child's-Play Carol Rutter shows how recent performances on stage and film have used the range of Shakespeare's insights in order to re-examine and re-think these issues in terms of today's society and culture

Religion, cognition and author-function : Dyer, Southwell, Lodge and As You Like It.
No full textThe thesis incorporates the view that allegory as a mode of communication is impossible. Accordingly, religious meanings of Elizabethan literary texts usually read as "secular" works are registered herein without recourse to positing an allegorical level of meaning in those texts. In order to arrive at relatively secure readings, texts have been selected which have explicit interrelationships (for example, texts which are parodies or adaptations of earlier texts). Registering the tenor of the later texts' departures allows contemporary production of meaning from the earlier works to be traced. The aim, however, is not merely to show that Elizabethan "secular" texts are far more religious than tends to be supposed; the thesis seeks to demonstrate the extent to which theories of cognition were inseparable in the period from doctrinal issues. Early modems not only thought and read religiously, religious concepts informed their cognitive theories (and vice versa). The thesis culminates in a reading of As You Like It, arguing that the play employs facultative rhetoric (as derived from scholastic faculty psychology) in order to present human appetence as co-efficient in salvation. In doing so, the play downgrades the role of the intellectual faculty. The notion of author/dramatist as governing intellect is thereby brought into question. Accordingly, the thesis also traces the development of attitudes towards author-function in its study-texts, demonstrating the extent to which a given text's cognitive model and its rhetorical stance towards crucial doctrinal issues (relating to human participation in salvation) affect its deployment of, and attitude towards, author-function
What makes for stress or depression among select residents in rural western Wisconsin: namely Barron, Chippewa, Dunn, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix county's population meeting the 1998 U. S. Department of Health and Services poverty guideline
No full textPlan BEach of us encounters daily responsibilities and obligations, along with pressures that challenge are very existence called stress or depression. The purpose of this correlational study was to identify areas of need contributing to, or influencing stress or depression in the impoverished rural western Wisconsin residents.
The randomly selected sample group for this study included 785 subjects age eighteen and older living in Barron, Chippewa, Dunn, Pierce, Pepin, Polk, and St. Croix counties. The subjects were selected from the West Central Wisconsin Community Action Agency’s, (West CAP), Client Intake System, (CIS), which included over 3,000 entries from these seven counties. Also, 310 subjects were selected from the Low Income, Housing, and Energy Assistance Program, (LIHEAP), listing in the seven counties.
The results obtained by this author include all correlations among the 15 categories contained in this study, yielding a total of 225 inter-correlations. The author has presented an analysis of only those 15 variables, which are directly correlated with stress or depression.
The discussion centered on the most critical needs identified which were the need for counseling, and food, and nutrition. The most significant of these need areas is counseling. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient identified that all but one of the independent variables correlates with stress or depression.
This author concludes that there is a need for additional and more specific research conducted with rural low-income populations. This study leaves question around how poverty level relates to the degree of self-reported stress or depression. Thus, the present study fills a need for information concerning degrees of stress and depression in rural populations
LV21 Lightship - travelling collage installation - an evolving, collaborative and site responsive collage installation exploring ideas of narrative and context/history.
No full text'Travelling Collage Installation' – an evolving, collaborative and site responsive collage installation exploring ideas of narrative and context/history.
The objective is to create an evolving, changing artwork that responds to its location (and previous locations), that is temporary and is never resolved – a work that might last a lifetime. Contained within it, and hidden, is the narrative of its previous history.
Ideas around narrative, 'back story' and incongruity, as well as the elements of chance and serendipity in its construction, are important to the project.
The method thought most appropriate for this was the use of adapted and worked-over digital photographs and drawings which would be digitally printed at enlarged scale printed and collaged on to temporary constructions at a location. These drawn over and manipulated images were often made on mobile phones while travelling from the previous location, where the photographs were taken. This method also lends itself to the collaborative nature of the project (I work with my creative partner Chris Rutter).
The work is portable and capable of being packed into a large suit case.
Questions about how much information is required for a viewer to 'understand' a work and how much is, and should be, open to interpretation and 'projection' are implicit in the work. Ideas about the relationship between author(artist), audience and artwork, investigated by Umberto Ecco and Roland Barthes for example, are relevant here.
The work so far has existed in a hotel room in Zurich (Limmathaus Hotel), a Duchamp Festival in Herne Bay, a decommissioned lightship on the River Medway (LV21), a gallery in Eindhoven (Kelderman en van Noort) and will be travelling to Cyprus in March 2018.
The project has been supported by UCA Research Fund.

Benjamin Britten「A Ceremony ofCarols」 ;John Rutter「Magnificat」
No full textThis thesis is a study of my graduation recital programs for master's
degree of「A Ceremony of Carols」of Benjamin Britten(1913-1976),「Magnificat」of John Rutter(1945- ). Benjamin Britten, a 20th century English composer, drew the attention of musicians and audiences from not only his homeland but also from all around the world. He stood out in his works of opera and church music. Moreover, he has composed 40 various choral works.「A Ceremony of Carols」, a widely performed Christmas choral work, was composed during his journey back to his country from the U.S. His experience at a boy’s choir in his childhood influenced him hoping to perform this piece in a treble’s voice. However, it is practically more performed in SSA form.「A Ceremony of Carols」, a work in total of 13 songs, including ‘Procession’, ‘Recession’, and ‘Interlude’ in harp solo, consists of Latin and English lyrics. However, the archaic words are used time to time. Britten used Gregorian chants, various modes, and melodies resembling reciting notes to create an old music atmosphere. In addition, staccatos, accents, and tenutos are used to give a more poetic effect to the lyrics, while frequent dissonance and tonal modification are employed to express vitality.
John Rutter, an existing English composer and a conductor, is greatly favored for his beautiful church music and carols. He was brought up in a Christian culture. Based on his chapel experience in his early age, he was taught to highly regard the liturgy and tradition form of service. When it comes to compose church music, however, he not only focused on the viewpoint of liturgy but also to the audience, which he put his effort to draw closer to the public.「Magnificat」, his work made in 1990, often used modes and melodies of Gregorian chant to follow the church music form. Simultaneously, by adopting the melodies and rhythms from the Latin music or broadway musical, he completed「Magnificat」in a new musical concept. The work, in total of 7 songs in Latin, except for the second piece in English poetry, consists of form of SATB with orchestra. Harp and woodwind are often used in John Rutter’s many works, which is also stands out in「Magnificat」. Additionally, there are many changes in the beat upon lyrics. The piece shows diversity through frequent change of tonal and modes when a certain melody and lyric repeats. After looking through the life, background of the piece, and origin of lyrics as well as musical features of each song, the author will suggest notes to consider for practical conduction in the thesis.;본 논문은 필자의 석사과정 이수를 위한 졸업 리사이틀 때 연주된 벤자민 브리튼(Benjamin Britten, 1913-1976)의「A Ceremony of Carols(캐럴의 제전)」과 존 루터(John Rutter, 1945- )의「Magnificat(마리아의 찬가)」를 연구한 것이다.
벤자민 브리튼은 고국뿐만 아니라 전 세계의 음악가들과 관객의 주의를 끌었던 20세기 영국 작곡가였다. 그의 작품은 오페라와 교회음악에서 큰 두각을 나타내었고 40여곡의 다양한 합창음악을 작곡하였다.「A Ceremony of Carols」은 매년 크리스마스 시즌마다 널리 연주되는 합창작품으로 브리튼이 미국에서 고국으로 항해하던 중에 작곡한 것이다. 브리튼은 유년시절에 소년합창을 경험하였고 이에 영향을 받아 이 작품에서도 소년의 목소리(Trebles’ voice)로 연주되길 원했지만 실제로는 여성합창(SSA)으로 더 많이 불린다.「A Ceremony of Carols」은 입장(Procession)과 퇴장(Recession) 그리고 하프의 간주곡을 포함하여 총 13곡이고 라틴어와 영어가사로 이루어져 있지만 때때로 고어를 사용 하였다. 브리튼은 그레고리안 챤트를 사용하기도 하고 다양한 선법의 사용과 낭송조에 가까운 멜로디를 통해 옛 음악의 분위기를 연출하였다. 또한 그는 가사에 있어서 시적인 효과를 더하기 위해 스타카토와 악센트, 테누토와 잦은 불협화음, 조성의 변화를 통해 생동감을 표현하였다.
존 루터는 아름다운 교회음악과 캐럴로 많은 사랑을 받고 있는 영국의 현존하는 작곡가이자 지휘자이다. 그는 어린 시절부터 크리스쳔 문화 속에서 성장했으며 어린 시절 채플 경험을 바탕으로 예배의 전례나 전통적인 형식을 배우고 중요시 여겨왔다. 그러나 그가 교회음악을 작곡함에 있어서는 전례적 관점에만 치우치지 않고 관객의 입장을 고려하고 대중에게 좀 더 가까이 다가서기 위해 노력하였다. 그의 1990년 작품인「Magnificat」역시 선법이나 그레고리안 챤트의 선율을 자주 사용하며 교회음악의 형식을 따르면서도 라틴계 음악이나 브로드웨이 뮤지컬에서 느낄 수 있는 선율이나 리듬을 사용하여 새로운 개념의「Magnificat」를 완성하였다. 이 작품은 영시의 2번곡을 포함하여 라틴어 가사의 총 7곡이고 혼성합창(SATB)과 오케스트라의 구성이다. 존 루터는 그의 많은 작품에 하프와 목관악기가 자주 등장함을 알 수 있는데「Magnificat」에서도 두드러지게 나타난다. 또한 가사에 의한 변박이 많이 이루어지고 하나의 선율과 가사가 반복될 때 잦은 변화의 조성과 선법을 통해 다양함을 보여주고 있다.
필자는 두 작곡가의 생애와 작품의 배경 그리고 각 곡들의 가사의 기원과 음악적인 특징을 살펴본 뒤 실제 지휘하는데 있어서 유의할 점을 본 논문에서 제시하였다.「A Ceremony of Carols」은 1994년 부지 앤 호크스 음악 출판사(Boosey & Hawkes Music Pubishers)에서 출간하고 Trebles I, II, III 과 하프(피아노)로 편성된 악보를 사용하였고「Magnificat」는 1991년 옥스퍼드 출판사(Oxford University Press)에서 출간되고 혼성합창(SATB)에 오르간이 포함된 쳄버 오케스트라로 편성된 악보를 참고하였다.I. 서론 1

Abstract 5
Writing the Appalachian commons: white women novelists on Ecological disaster and repair
No full textThis study addresses six novels written by White Appalachian women in the years
following the War on Poverty through the presidency of Donald Trump (1973-2019): Wilma
Dykeman’s Return the Innocent Earth (1973), Denise Giardina’s Storming Heaven (1987) and
The Unquiet Earth (1992), Ann Pancake’s Strange as This Weather Has Been (2007), Mesha
Maren’s Sugar Run (2018), and Madeline ffitch’s Stay and Fight (2019). It is my argument that
each of these novelists have produced ecofeminist texts with the purpose of drawing attention to
the slow violence of environmental degradation in Appalachia. Through the vehicle of the novel,
these author-activists demonstrate the destructive nature of capitalism in sacrifice zones such as
Appalachia and outline the need for a restoration of the ecological commons through collective
action. Drawing on theoretical frameworks in commons recovery, ecofeminism, and Whiteness
studies, I explore the role author-activists play in responding to, making evident, and mitigating
the slow violence of ecological disaster. Additionally, I delve into the extent to which White
Appalachian female authors successfully or unsuccessfully elucidate the role of Whiteness and
its intersections with class and gender. To that end, this dissertation explores the boundaries of
White privilege in the context of capitalist endeavors and scrutinizes the unique roles that White
female authors and their marginalized White characters play in challenging the stereotypical
image of White Appalachia.Ph. D
