Britton (Cathryn (Kate)) interview
No full textWilbur, Washington, United StatesCathryn M. Britton (known as Kate), was interviewed for a class project for Professor Karen J. Blair's Women's Studies 290A course at the University of Washington. Kate Britton was born in Wilbur, Washington in 1905 and attended the University of Washington in 1927, where she was heavily involved in sports such as track and field and tennis and was one of the first women to earn a "Big W" blanket for athletic accomplishments. She recalls her experiences with Mary G. Hutchinson and Lou Anderson on campus and describes how women in sports were generally frowned upon. Girls were described as too emotional, so they just participated often in “play days” instead of competitions. She spent her years after university teaching P.E. in Bremerton and at Cleveland High School.To request a high resolution or uncompressed reproduction, or to obtain permission to use any portion of this item, contact the University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections.

1640: Britton
No full textBritton: The Second Edition. London: Printed by the Assignes of John Moore Esquire, 1640.
The treatise in Law French known as Britton (c. 1290) has at times been attributed to John le Breton (d. 1275), bishop of Hereford, though serious doubt is cast on his authorship on account of the work’s references to statutes enacted years after his death. English jurist John Selden believed the bishop may have been confused with Henry de Bracton, supposed author of the treatise De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae, of which Britton may be considered in part an epitome. The origins of Britton may be traced to a project of Edward I to produce a digest of the English law in the spirit of Justinian\u27s Institutes. The first edition was published in London in the early 1530s, with a second edition, edited by Edmund Wingate, not appearing until 1640.

The art of participatory video: Relational aesthetics in artistic collaborations
No full textParticipatory video is a complex phenomenon that remains difficult to characterize. Not only does it often involve a variety of stakeholders, but also a variety of technical and conceptual challenges and decision making processes. Discourse around participatory video has engaged with many of these issues, although has predominantly emerged from the field of development communication. Here, discussion often centres on processes of cultural representation purported to ‘empower’ the groups being represented, which in turn breeds a dinstinction between a group to be ‘empowered’, and a facilitator who will provide the tools and environment with which this empowerment will be possible. Less discussed are the creative, artisitic and inherently collaborative processes that both participants and facilitators engage in, and the impact of aesthetics on practices of communication and representation. This chapter seeks to move beyond narratives of empowerment and the complex questions raised by these narratives, towards a space where participatory video is conceived not only as the redressing of a perceived power hierarchy, but also as the creative genesis of new modes of collective expression
Oedipus/Antigone
No full textDavid Britton (writing as D.J.Britton) is author of the play Oedipus/Antigone which was selected as one of the six best new plays for young people in the Methuen/Bloomsbury collection Producers’ Choice (ed. P. Roseby), published October 2010. It was first performed at Sherman Cymru, Cardiff, in February 2010. Oedipus/Antigone is an experimental conceptual drama drawn from from Sophocles’ Theban plays. It is described by Paul Roseby, Artistic Director of the National Youth Theatre in his introduction as “Greek tragedy at its best”. Britton and physical-theatre director Philip Mackenzie were offered the empty shell of the Sherman Theatre which had been cleared out in readiness for a major refurbishment. Britton created an inventive experimental script which takes the long saga of the decline of the house of Oedipus and weaves it into the fabic of a building in its last throes, shaping the words to Mackenzie's movement-based performance techniques. The play has since been staged in both Britain and Ireland in more conventional venues
Brush up your Shakespeare; Costuming West Virginia University\u27s Production of Kiss Me Kate
No full textKiss Me Kate provides an interesting challenge for costume designers in that it is set in 1940s Baltimore but stages a production of Taming of the Shrew within the musical. During the spring and fall of 2015 I was given the opportunity to design Kiss Me, Kate for my graduate costume design thesis project. I worked in collaboration with Professor Bryce Britton, director, Professor Robert Klingelhoefer, scenic designer, and Professor Alan McEwen, lighting designer. Professor Britton expressed his desire to create a Technicolor dreamland for our Elizabethan Renaissance show within a show, and Professor Klingelhoefer discussed the need for a duality between the two halves of the show. I aimed to portray a realistic 1940s era backstage while also designing a big and bold theatrical production of Taming of the Shrew. As costume designer my challenge was to manage a production that contained multiple eras requiring costume and character changes.;To accomplish this I researched thoroughly both Elizabethan Renaissance and 1940s Eras and engaged in a close reading of both Kiss Me Kat e and Taming of the Shrew in order make design choices that reflected the characters in each show. These design choices were refined though a series of sketches with final design choices made in collaboration with Professor Britton. From this point on I was responsible for overseeing the transition of my designs from paper to reality by building a schedule for costume production, pulling and renting costumes, and organizing fittings for twenty six actors.;One of the most significant lessons I take away from this production is the importance of getting and staying organized. I accomplished this through detailed documentation of my vision and how it applied to each character and costume. I also learned the importance of staff management and asserting myself as a designer so that my design ideas are reflected in the finished costumes
Revolution and Ideology: Images of the Mexican Revolution in the United States
No full textMexico and the United States share a border of more than 2,000 miles, and their histories and interests have often intertwined. The Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910 and continued in one form or another for the next thirty years, was keenly observed by U.S. citizens, especially those directly involved in Mexico through property ownership, investment, missionary work, tourism, journalism, and education. It differed from many other revolutions in this century in that Marxist-Leninist theory was only one of many radical and reformist influences. Historian John A. Britton examines contemporary accounts written by Americans commenting on social upheaval south of the border: radical writers John Reed, Anita Brenner, and Carlton Beals; novelists Katherine Anne Porter and D.H. Lawrence; social critics Stuart Chase and Waldo Frank; and banker-diplomat Dwight Morrow, to mention a few. Their writings constitute a valuable body of information and opinion concerning a revolution that offers important parallels with liberation movements throughout the world today. Britton\u27s sources also shed light on the many contradictions and complexities inherent in the relationship between the United States and Mexico.
John Britton, Professor of History at Francis Marion University, is the author of Carleton Beals: A Radical Journalist in Latin America.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_cultural_history/1022/thumbnail.jp
