Kitty Dukakis, Michael Dukakis, and Larry Tye: Shock discuss The Healing Power of Electroconvulsive Therapy at the Ford Hall Forum, audio recording, 10/15/2007
No full textAfter suffering from decades from severe depression, substance abuse problems, and hospitalizations, Kitty Dukakis now credits her recovery to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Opponents of ECT would like to see the treatment banned on the basis of its common side effects, including memory loss. Many patients say these are a small price to pay for control over a disabling condition. Governor Michael Dukakis and author Larry Tye join Kitty Dukakis for a discussion on how this medical treatment – along with the support of family and loved ones – can potentially help individuals through the horrors of clinical depression.https://dc.suffolk.edu/fhf-av/1072/thumbnail.jp
Kitty & Jill
No full textKitty & Jill is a lesbian romance dramedy musical adapted from the novel Jill by Elizabeth Amy Dillwyn, an openly-lesbian author in the 19th century. Set in 1884 industrial Victorian England, Kitty & Jill follows dual protagonists: Jill Trecastle, who runs away from her home in high society in order to forge a new life and identity for herself; and Kitty Mervyn, another young high society woman who decides to go on a sketching trip and hires Jill to be her traveling-maid, leading to the two of them falling in love. Throughout their chaotic adventure, Kitty and Jill must learn how to be honest with themselves in the face of high society façades. The score is inspired by Victorian era music, classic Broadway, and modern musical theatre; and the tone of the show combines historical Victorian-era high society language with pepperings of modern-day jargon, as a tool of emphasis upon the fact that this is a piece of classical literature being revitalized in the present day. Instrumentally, the music is strings-and-piano-heavy, along with various pitched and unpitched percussion instruments.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-cmat/1005/thumbnail.jp
Ken Lum : Works with Photography = Ken Lum : Le travail de l'image
No full textCurator Scott situates Lum’s art (mainly photography) on the Canadian and international scenes, while tracing his evolution from his beginnings, in the 1970s, to the present. Derksen establishes a direct link between Lum’s work and globalization, considering the artist as an observer of the urban territory, where the consequences of this phenomenon are most apparent. The author underlines how the artist reinterprets the notion of “home” – which no longer refers simply to nation and place – in his images of “urban facts”.

The Stolen Button
No full textThe Stolen Button is a fully illustrated 48-page book intended for a young teenage audience. It represents multicultural stories in an Australian landscape and contains dark themes in an imaginative space portraying an exotic other, a wilderness, and a place to face demons, spirits, and foes. Referencing the Silk Road as an historical location and cultural melting point where East meets West, the book mimics a hybrid garden of Chinese stories from childhood memories of the author mixed with illustrative elements from the illustrator’s Persian painting background. The format inventively mixes a large picture-book style usually found in pre-reader texts, with sophisticated themes, story, and language relevant to an advanced reader to question notions of coming-of-age, belonging and cultural identity. Created using a hybrid style of traditional ink and watercolour used in ancient Chinese and Persian artworks, coupled with contemporary digital techniques, the artworks express innovation through this intercrossing. The Stolen Button won second place in the Queensland Children’s and Young Adult Writers and Illustrators Competition in the aspiring picture book category. Illustrations were exhibited across three Brisbane City Council libraries in 2018 and 2019. The author and the illustrator were invited to artist panels and interviewed with local, national, and international magazines including Peril Magazine and BEMAC. A Kickstarter fund raised over $6000 and was published by Rock On Kitty with an initial print run of 1000 copies. There are a number of positive reviews from professionals and general readers on the GoodReads website.No Full Tex
Ethical Challenges in Visual Educational Research
No full textIn educational research, and social research more generally, visual methods pose specific ethical dilemmas that require both researchers and institutional ethical committees to creatively and reflexively consider research ethics guidelines and principles. The purpose of this chapter is to highlight how traditional approaches to applying research ethics principles are challenged by visual research approaches. Ethical challenges are inherently ‘grey’ rather than ‘black and white’, so this chapter will not supply solutions. Rather, we hope to make visible ethical challenges that are particularly relevant for visual research. We will use two devices for this: We organise the chapter around three widely recognised principles for research ethics: benefit and harm, respect for persons and justice. This draws on the expertise of the first author (Kitty). We discuss specific challenges for visual research in relation to each principle, drawing on two research projects by the second author (Alison). Principally our research focuses on young people who hold marginalised positions in society, with a particular interest for Kitty in relation to the ethics of such research and human research in general. She has experience as an active member of university human research ethics committees and has published two books on research ethics: one in relation to youth research (Te Riele & Brooks 2013) and the other on education research (Brooks, Te Riele & Maguire 2014).</p
Alô! Kitty : movie script and the creative process
No full textOrientador: Nuno César Pereira de AbreuDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de ArtesResumo: Inscrito na linha de pesquisa em processo criativo, este trabalho em escrita de roteiro, apresenta dois objetos resultantes de uma prática realizada por seu autor. O roteiro "Alô! Kitty" para cinema de ficção longa metragem. E um memorial reflexivo e teórico sobre o processo criativo. Da conjugação destes dois objetos, propõe-se observar a manifestação de um pensamento artístico, e também a tentativa de seu autor em refletir a experiência de expressá-lo: em relatos do contexto vivido durante o processo e também de sua biografia; apresentando as principais referências criativas e a tentativa de incorporá-las de forma diferenciada à criação artística; em reflexões sobre o conteúdo teórico apreendido, e sua influência na prática artística; etc. O roteiro narra a história de uma mulher desvendando o mistério de sua própria morte. Kitty, a personagem principal, depara-se nesta jornada com entidades e deidades que personificam sentidos arquetípicos preponderantes à contemporaneidade. Articulação narrativa esta, de atualização de mitos, inspirada, por sua vez, em uma tendência de Histórias em Quadrinhos (HQs), adultas e de horror, desenvolvida, sobretudo, no fim dos anos 1980 e no decorrer da década de 1990. O tema da narrativa, neste sentido, reporta-se à instabilidade dos sentidos na contemporaneidade. No âmbito da reflexão, o escopo teórico se apóia principalmente nas relações entre narrativa e contemporaneidade. Neste sentido, a presença de abordagens teóricas por vezes conflitantes, como a filosofia analítica de Lyotard e a semiologia do cinema de Parente, em contraste com a teoria dos arquétipos de Jung e a mitologia comparada de Campbell, justifica-se, segundo propõe o autor, pela legitimidade de uma abordagem multirreferencialAbstract: Included in the line of research in the creative process, this work on script writing presents two resulting objects from a practice realized by the author. The script "Alô! Kitty", a feature-length fiction film. And a reflective and theoritical memorial about creative process. The combination of these two objects, it is proposed to observe the manifestation of an artistic thought, and also the attempt of its author to reflect the experience of expressing it: reports in the context experienced during the process and also of his biography; presenting the main references and creative attempt to incorporate them in different ways to artistic creation; reflections on the theoretical content learned, and their influence on artistic practice, etc. The screenplay tells the story of a woman unraveling the mystery of her own death. Kitty, the main character, faces in this journey with entities and deities who embody archetypal meanings compelling to contemporary. This narrative articulation, for reenactment of myth, inspired, in turn, in a trend of comics, adult and horror, as developed primarily in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s. In this sense, the theme of the narrative refers to the instability of meanings in contemporary society. In the context of reflection, the theoretical scope rests primarily in relations between narrative and contemporary. In this sense, the presence of sometimes conflicting theoretical approaches such as analytic philosophy of Lyotard and semiology of film A. Parente, in contrast to the theory of archetypes C. G. Jung and the comparative mythology of J. Campbell is justified, according to the author proposes, for the legitimacy of a multi-referential approachMestradoMestre em Multimeio

Saline: On Walking Through
Chairperson: Phil Condon
Saline: On Walking Through, is a story happening in motion. It is a creative nonfiction memoir, following the author as she explores movement across landscape, primarily walking, as a form of healing. Set in the context of a journey that sprawls across a decade, this story weaves in and out of long distance thru-hikes, farming, train travel, van travel, questions of pace and questions of spirituality, all the while questioning culture and the process of coming to terms with assault. Woven through it all is a deep rooted and persistent draw to the more than human world. In thirteen stories split between walking and interlude, we accompany the author through dense forests, up steep mountains, across windy ridgelines, over desert plateaus and along roadsides. Carried across almost 5,000 miles of walking, we accompany her too as she navigates a complicated relationship between mother and daughter, and returns often to the question of what it means to be a woman in this world. This story is about pace, and what can come of slowing down. It’s a story about coming of age, forgiveness and finding a sense of home
