Chuck Ramirez: Outsider Objects
No full textChuck Ramirez, a graphic designer for H-E-B, a Texas-based grocery store chain, spent his workdays communicating ideas through the products he promoted in glossy advertisements and posters. His professional career undoubtedly influenced his artistic endeavors, which revolved around producing images of everyday objects. He often photographed his subjects out of context, isolated against a stark white background, thereby provoking the viewer to reexamine them. What was it about coconuts, grocery bags, pillboxes, piñatas, raw meat, wilted flowers, and worn brooms that enthralled Ramirez? What ideas was he communicating through the idiosyncratic objects he chose to photograph? This thesis will illustrate how the quotidian objects Ramirez chose to examine were linked to his liminal identity. While Ramirez’s photographs on the surface appear as merely images of simple objects, in reality his works play out like self-portraits, reflecting the overlapping complexities of his identity and the struggle to come to terms with who he was. A self-proclaimed “coconut,” Ramirez was a Mexican-American who was reared like a “white kid;” a designation that made him neither Chicano, nor Mexican nor Anglo. Furthermore, he was a gay man contending with HIV and struggling with a serious heart condition. The objects in his photographs serve as stand-ins for himself and are metaphorically connected to his self-proclaimed “outsider” status. Ramirez’s objects became a medium through which he contemplated his race, upbringing, sexuality and illnesses. This thesis will examine Ramirez’s work in a broader context, considering the influence his environment and heritage had on his artistic themes and techniques, while also assaying the personal discourse embedded in his creations.Art, School o
A pre-post test evaluation of the impact of the PELICAN MDT-TME Development Programme on the working lives of colorectal cancer team members
No full textBackground: the PELICAN Multidisciplinary Team Total Mesorectal Excision (MDT-TME) Development Programme aimed to improve clinical outcomes for rectal cancer by educating colorectal cancer teams in precision surgery and related aspects of multidisciplinary care. The Programme reached almost all colorectal cancer teams across England. We took the opportunity to assess the impact of participating in this novel team-based Development Programme on the working lives of colorectal cancer team members.Methods: the impact of participating in the programme on team members' self-reported job stress, job satisfaction and team performance was assessed in a pre-post course study. 333/568 (59%) team members, from the 75 multidisciplinary teams who attended the final year of the Programme, completed questionnaires pre-course, and 6-8 weeks post-course.Results: across all team members, the main sources of job satisfaction related to working in multidisciplinary teams; whilst feeling overloaded was the main source of job stress. Surgeons and clinical nurse specialists reported higher levels of job satisfaction than team members who do not provide direct patient care, whilst MDT coordinators reported the lowest levels of job satisfaction and job stress. Both job stress and satisfaction decreased after participating in the Programme for all team members. There was a small improvement in team performance.Conclusions: participation in the Development Programme had a mixed impact on the working lives of team members in the immediate aftermath of attending. The decrease in team members' job stress may reflect the improved knowledge and skills conferred by the Programme. The decrease in job satisfaction may be the consequence of being unable to apply these skills immediately in clinical practice because of a lack of required infrastructure and/or equipment. In addition, whilst the Programme raised awareness of the challenges of teamworking, a greater focus on tackling these issues may have improved working lives furthe
