Kate Christensen, 37th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textKATE CHRISTENSEN is the author of six novels, including The Epicure\u27s Lament, the PEN/Faulkner award-winning The Great Man, and The Astral. She describes herself as a cook of the improvisational, what\u27s-in-the-cupboard school, which is also, possibly not coincidentally, [her] strategy with writing, and as someone who was raised in Berkeley in the 1960s, long before the Bay Area became the American locavore/foodie mecca. She now lives in Portland, Maine, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Her food memoir is Blue Plate Special: An Autobiography of My Appetites (Doubleday, 2013). She is currently collaborating with Barbara Lynch, the Boston chef, on her memoir

Dan Christensen: Forty Years of Painting
No full textArt critic Clement Greenberg described Dan Christensen (1942-2007) as one of the painters on whom the course of American Art depends. 1 This retrospective exhibition documents Christensen\u27s life-long quest to understand the possibilities of color, paint, and pictorial space. Though long associated with Color Field painting, Christensen\u27s relentless experimentation with style and technique places him among this country\u27s most ambitious abstract and gestural painters.
Christensen was born in Lexington, Nebraska and grew up outside of Cozad. As a teenager Christensen listened to music on radio stations from Shreveport and Little Rock and grew fond of soul, blues, and pop music. His early aspirations to reach beyond his Midwest roots and experience a larger world, coupled with a youthful sense of independence and self-reliance, contributed to his eventual move to New York City. In 1964 he graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute and after one year of graduate school moved to the East Coast where he spent the rest of his life. Although he was painting the figure when he arrived in New York, he soon made an abrupt break from this style.
Artists in Christensen\u27s circle met and shared ideas at Max\u27s Kansas City, a bar on Park Avenue South in New York City. There, Christensen met Minimalist artists Carl Andre and Brice Marden, whom he considered important early influences. Max\u27s is also where Christensen met art dealer Rich8rd Bell8my, who offered to represent him in 1966. Shortly afterward, Bellamy brought art collector and author James Michener for a studio visit. Michener bought a paintingthe first real sale Christensen mad

Distorted body representations and skilled action
No full textSeveral aspects of somatosensation require that immediate sensory signals be integrated with representations of body size and shape. Research has revealed that tactile size perception and position sense rely on distorted body representations. Such distortions raise a fundamental problem. The lack of proprioceptive afferent information is known to cause devastating impairments in skilled action, suggesting position sense is critical for skilled action. How can skilled action co-exist with distorted body representations? I review research on distorted body representations and discuss ways such distortions might be reconciled with dexterous action. I end with speculations about implications for our sensation of movement.
Book synopsis: Sensation of Movement explores the role of sensation in motor control, bodily self-recognition and sense of agency. The sensation of movement is dependent on a range of information received by the brain, from signalling in the peripheral sensory organs to the establishment of higher order goals. Through the integration of neuroscientific knowledge with psychological and philosophical perspectives, this book questions whether one type of information is more relevant for the ability to sense and control movement.
Addressing conscious sensations of movement, experimental designs and measures, and the possible functions of proprioceptive and kinaesthetic information in motor control and bodily cognition, the book advocates the integration of neuroscientific knowledge and philosophical perspectives. With an awareness of the diverse ideas and theories from these distinct fields, the book brings together leading researchers to bridge these divides and lay the groundwork for future research.
Of interest to both students and researchers of consciousness, Sensation of Movement will be essential reading for those researching motor control, multimodal perception, bodily self-recognition, and sense of agency. It aims to encourage the integration of multiple perspectives in order to arrive at new insights into how sensation of movement can be studied scientifically

'We will never get rich if we follow Buddhism' – The Rise of Brahmanism in Cambodia
No full textThis paper explores the growing demand for spirit rituals in Cambodia over the last two decades. Beginning with the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime in 1979, the author focuses on the revitalisation of “Brahmanism” (brahmaṇya-sāsanā), a term that in Cambodia describes religious practices involving spirits. Brahmanist practices have grown in popularity in parallel with the rapid revitalisation of Buddhism that has taken place since the end of the post-Khmer Rouge Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia in 1989. The author argues that the influence of ideas of pāramī, or spiritual power, is a significant reason for the popularity of Brahmanist rituals. In contrast to Buddhist practice which places emphasis on the accumulation of merit (puṇya), spirits and their human mediums may provide immediate cures, or help in the accumulation of power and money. Hence Brahmanism is appealing to many Cambodians – as the title of the paper suggests – because their offerings are traded for more immediate benefits than Buddhist merit-making. Because of their flexibility, Brahmanist rituals have been easily adapted to the new capitalist market, which was ‘liberalized’ in the 1990s. Unlike the well-documented development of Buddhism, the revitalization of Brahmanism has gone rather unnoticed by scholars of Cambodia. Nonetheless, it has become a modern phenomenon that provides revealing insights into a society that finds itself in politically troubled times

New laws for off the plan contracts in Queensland
No full textThe Land Sales Act 1984 regulates “off the plan” sales in Queensland in conjunction with several provisions in the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997. Together the Acts regulate sales in both unit developments and housing estates. From 2010 to 2013 the Queensland Government undertook a comprehensive review of the Land Sales Act 1984 to identify opportunities to modernise and improve the legislation. Significant changes were recommended by the Review to align the Land Sales Act 1984 (LSA) with current surveying and conveyancing practice and to overcome a number of practical issues faced by developers under the current legislation. A significant outcome of the review is the removal of provisions related to off the plan community title sales from the LSA to the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (BCCMA) and the Building Units and Group Titles Act 1980 (BUGTA). \ud
