The Operatic Problem
No full textIn The Operatic Problem (1902), W. Johnson Galloway argues for the establishment of a "system for National Opera" in England, lamenting that England "alone in civilised Europe remained indifferent" to fostering the art form. While other nations (Italy, Germany, France) utilize state or municipal subsidies , England merely imports foreign performers, which is detrimental to native talent. Galloway insists this failure is not due to a lack of English talent, citing the historical success of "ballad operas" and composers like Purcell and Balfe.
He analyzes the failure of a major "patriotic effort" (the Royal English Opera House and its production of Ivanhoe) , arguing it was doomed by specific flaws—such as a stage "far too small for grand opera" , an "overloaded book" (libretto) , and the "folly of running [it] every night" —not by the concept of national opera itself.W. Johnson Galloway, The Operatic Problem (1902) (Operatik Sorun) adlı eserinde, "uygar Avrupa'da" sanat formunu destekleme konusunda "kayıtsız kalan tek" ülkenin İngiltere olduğunu belirterek bir "Ulusal Opera sistemi" kurulmasını savunmaktadır. Diğer uluslar (İtalya, Almanya, Fransa) devlet veya belediye sübvansiyonlarını kullanırken , İngiltere sadece yabancı sanatçıları ithal etmekte, bu da yerel yeteneklere zarar vermektedir. Galloway, bu başarısızlığın İngiliz yetenek eksikliğinden kaynaklanmadığını, "balad operaları" ile Purcell ve Balfe gibi bestecilerin tarihsel başarısını örnek göstererek vurgulamaktadır. Daha önceki büyük bir "yurtsever girişimi" (Kraliyet İngiliz Operası ve Ivanhoe prodüksiyonu) analiz eder ve bu girişimin başarısızlığının ulusal opera konseptinden değil, "büyük opera için çok küçük bir sahne" , "aşırı yüklü bir libretto" ve "[eseri] her gece oynatma çılgınlığı" gibi spesifik kusurlardan kaynaklandığını savunur

An investigation of Japanese university students' attitudes towards English
No full textAs a global language, English has spread to the extent that non-native speakers now outnumber native speakers. In the last few decades, a body of research literature has emerged demonstrating the decreasing global relevance of native English speakers, and calling for a re-evaluation of English Language Teaching (ELT) practices, in order to better prepare students for using English as a global lingua franca. However, students’ needs and attitudes towards English and ELT must be fully investigated before curriculum changes can be suggested. Many attitude studies conclude that students favour native varieties of English. However, such research often uses single research methods and very few relate attitude studies to ELT. Further research is required regarding students’ attitudes towards English, the factors influencing these attitudes and how they relate to ELT. Moreover, few studies have investigated these proposals in any depth or explored the impact of course instruction in the global uses of English on students’ attitudes.This thesis is an investigation of Japanese university students’ attitudes towards English and English teachers in relation to the use of English as a lingua franca (ELF). In order to widen the scope of understanding, this research employed a mixture of quantitative and qualitative measures to obtain data about the participants and their attitudes. Thus, questionnaires, interviews and focus groups were used. Following the introduction, chapter two and three provide a literature review. Chapter four outlines the methodology, and the results are presented in chapters five, six and seven. Chapter eight presents a discussion of the results and the implications of this study for teaching English are discussed in chapter nine. The findings suggest that English is seen as a language belonging to native English speakers and those students want to learn native English. However, the results highlighted that a number of factors influence students’ attitudes. The findings also demonstrated that the study of Global Englishes influenced students in a number of ways, including their motivation for learning English, attitudes towards varieties of English and attitudes towards English teachers. It encouraged them to question notions of ‘standard English’, was helpful for future ELF communication and raised their confidence as English speakers. In sum, the findings of this study provide an empirical basis for a re-evaluation of ELT and suggest that Global Englishes Language Teaching is something that should be further investigated
Chasing threads: where next for the Galloway Hoard?
No full textJoin Dr Adrián Maldonado as he summarise the main findings from this seminar series, address some recurring audience questions, and discuss the gaps in our knowledge which still remain about the Galloway Hoard.
Buried at the beginning of the 10th century in Dumfries and Galloway, the Hoard lay undisturbed for a thousand years before being discovered by a metal detectorist and excavated by an archaeologist in September 2014. This incredible find brings together the richest collection of rare and unique Viking-age objects ever found in Britain or Ireland.
Dr Adrián Maldonado is the Galloway Hoard Researcher at the National Museums of Scotland. His interests include early medieval Scotland, the Viking Age, early Christianity, the archaeology of death and burial and medievalism in pop culture. He is also the author of Crucible of Nations (2021)
The use of internships to foster employability, enterprise and entrepreneurship in the IT sector
No full textPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to report a study of the role of internships for ITstudents and for the IT sector. The contribution of internships for career-readiness, and for the development of existing IT organisations and the creation of new ones is explored.Design/methodology/approach – Surveys of interns and managers from host firms wereconduced, followed by in-depth interviews with six interns and five organisations.Findings – Internships are useful for increasing enterprise and employability skills and commercial awareness for IT students. IT organisations also benefit in that internships are used to recruit fresh talent. Findings regarding entrepreneurship were disappointing, with little reportage of ambitions to create new firms, nor awareness of the high likelihood of self-employed contractual work in the sector.Research limitations/implications – Implications for research include that self-employment and business ownership are not always “successful” entrepreneurial outcomes born of agency. This requires further study.Practical implications – Development of opportunities for experiential, real-world learning for IT students is implied, as is increased educational focus on employability and enterprise skills to best advantage students for the realities of employment in IT. There is a strong suggestion that much moreneeds to be done in terms of encouraging entrepreneurship.Originality/value – The paper reports the potentials of internships to interns and to organisations, and through combining these perspectives, provides comment on the utility of internships for the IT sector as a competitive, opportunity-rich global industry
Analýza tvorby Janice Galloway
No full textRomány skotské autorky Janice Galloway patří k těm nejvýznamnějším dílům současné skotské ženské literární scény a její hrdinky často skýtají dech beroucí proniknutí do podvědomí žen trpících nejrůznějšími formami emocionálních či existenčních problémů. Cílem této práce je rozebrat a analyzovat postavu Joy Stone, hlavní hrdinku nejznámějšího románu z pera Galloway The Trick is to Keep Breathing, za účelem vyzdvihnutí významu literárních děl jako je toto. První věcí, která na románu zaujme čtenářovu pozornost, je jeho experimentální podoba, které je možné si všimnout již při prvním zalistovaní v knize. Text jako žil svým vlastním životem, často mění tvar a formu, rozpadá se v seznamy, nápisy či divadelní dialogy a občas některé slova dokonce i částečně utíkají ze stránek. Roztříštěnost je jeden z hlavních znaků toho románu a je patrný hned na dvou rovinách. Jednou z nich je fragmentace textu, která přímo zrcadlí tu druhou, kterou je nervové zhroucení hlavní hrdinky. Tato práce se bude zabývat oběma rovinami - nejdříve se bude soustředit na rozklad duševního zdraví Joy a světa, který ji obklopuje a následně plynuje přejde na analýzu psané formy románu a rozebere ji z technického hlediska. Bakalářská práce jako taková bude rozdělena do tří kapitol. První z nich bude sloužit jako úvod, představí...Novels by Scottish author Janice Galloway belong to the most influential works in contemporary Scottish women's writing and her female characters often offer a stunning insight into the minds of women, who are stricken by various forms of emotional or existential distress. The aim of this thesis is to discuss and closely examine the main character Joy Stone in Galloway's most famous novel The Trick is to Keep Breathing, in order to analyse the position of a woman in contemporary Scottish society and underline the importance of work such as this one. The first aspect that attracts attention is its unusual and experimental form apparent from the very first sight by the mere flicking through the book. The text seems to be living its own life, often changing form, breaking down into lists, signs or play-like dialogues, and some words even partly disappear off the pages. This fragmentation is one of the main focuses of the novel and it is expressed in two levels. One of them is the fragmentation of the text which mirrors the second one, the mental breakdown of the main character Joy Stone. This study is going to concentrate on both of these aspects, firstly it will deal with disintegration of the mind of Joy and the world around her, and subsequently it will proceed onto the form of the novel and look...Department of Anglophone Literatures and CulturesÚstav anglofonních literatur a kulturFaculty of ArtsFilozofická fakult
Disobedient Bodies
No full text'Disobedient Bodies' was first exhibited in 'ROME , a portrait.' Festival of Foreign Culture Academies and Institutions
Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome, Italy.
It was then exhibited at APT London as part of In the 'In the Thick of Things'
Group exhibition, 7 November – 1 December, 2024

Abstract from Palazzo delle Esposizioni:
The work Laura has been making in Rome during a nine month residency, having been awarded the Ampersand Foundation Fellowship at the British School at Rome, has been focused around food - the making of dough sculpture, responding to an artisan food culture. She has become particularly fascinated with the processes, display methods and experience of eating food. She has been learning food processes such as handmade pasta and pizza techniques through the eyes and hands of food experts, and cooking with food writers and artist from other academies, all of which gets digested and absorbed into her studio and writing practice.
Laura has been making pasta for eating as well as manipulating dough to make sculpture. She is focused on the experience of her body in relation to these materials and activities. Using her entire body, small intimate actions to make pasta to eat, and her entire body to stretch and form the dough into unruly sculptures. Her works reflect a visceral experience of inside and outside the body (human and animal), each part caught in motion, between the fluid and the stable.
Laura also has a long time fascination with stone. Since being in Rome her interest in this material has been reignited, such as with the sculptures of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, an artist/architect who pushed the capabilities of stone to the limits during the Renaissance period.
She is interested in the collision of different materials and their associations. Bernini was quoted to have said he was “making stone as obedient to the hand as if it were dough.” This connection between the everyday material of dough and the valuable marble of Carrara, understood to both having unique material qualities. Laura is interested in bringing these two materials into the same arena, manipulating dough beyond its familiar culinary use by shaping it into folds, twisting it like fabric while been compelled and guided by its awkward material nature, not to be controlled or fixed
Where’s the benefit? Exploring outcomes relating to enterprise, poverty and the UK welfare system
No full textThe primary aim of this research is to contribute towards the advancement of knowledge
on self-employment as a context of low income. In particular, this research explores
experience of claiming welfare benefits amongst self-employed people in the UK.
Historically the UK has encouraged self-employment in the belief that the greater the
business start-up rate, the better it is financially for the economy. This belief has persisted
throughout the years despite research to the contrary. The rates of self-employment have
grown considerably with a lot of the growth attributed to the gig economy and bogus self-employment.
Throughout recent decades academic research has tended to focus on how entrepreneurs
can be created and improved, as well as how their business and economic contributions
can be increased. This has tended to fuel the neo-liberal narrative that the value of
entrepreneurship is mostly financial, for individuals and for society as a whole. However,
recently attention has started to turn towards the value of self-employment to the
individual in non-pecuniary forms such as skills development, confidence and self esteem, flexibility and work life balance and enjoyable forms of work. The thesis explores
value and it explores it in the context of the capitals available to individuals who are self employed and experiencing poverty.
An inductive, qualitative approach was used for this study. In-depth, semi-structured
interviews were carried out with 40 individuals who were self-employed, in poverty and
either claiming welfare benefits or entitled to claim. The data collected was analysed
thematically using a mix of computer software and manual processes.
Key findings from this study include that the personal circumstances of the individual
influence decisions. These circumstances relate to domestic life including caring
responsibilities or health problems, and to other capitals such as education. Furthermore,
the findings highlight the role of the welfare system and how financial support influences
personal and business outcomes. In some cases, the restrictions and complexities of the
UK welfare system meant the individuals deliberately kept their businesses small despite desires to grow because the insecurity of poverty meant they could not risk going without
their benefit payments.
From a theoretical perspective, the research draws from capitals theories and
entrepreneurial capital theory in particular. The key theoretical contribution is a
reconceptualised model of entrepreneurial capital, placing the individual at the centre
with capital resources embedded within personal circumstances. From a policy
perspective, the thesis contributes towards policy debates on how the UK welfare system
supports those who are self-employed and experiencing poverty
