Wordsworth and Bashō: Walking Poets
No full textWordsworth and Bashō: Walking Poets was an exhibition of original and facsimile copies of manuscripts by William and Dorothy Wordsworth and Matsuo Bashō. They were shown alongside new work by contemporary UK and Japanese artists who responded to the manuscripts, and what originally inspired them, in ways that were as fresh, creative and radical now as Wordsworth and Bashō were during their lives. Artists in the show include: Ewan Clayton; Ken Cockburn; Alec Finlay; Christine Flint-Sato; Zaffar Kunial (Poet in Residence at the Wordsworth trust, 2014); Eiichi Kono; Manny Ling; Chris McHugh; Nobuya Monta; Inge Panneels; Andrew Richardson; Autumn Richardson; Nao Sakamoto; Minako Shirakura; Richard Skelton; Ayako Tani; Brian Thompson and myself (with two new works based on the journals of Dorothy Wordsworth.
The exhibition (which is showing at Dove Cottage - click here for more information) was organized and curated by myself assisted by Janet Ross for WALK in collaboration with Jeff Cowton (Curator, the Wordsworth Trust) and was accompanied by a significant publication and opened to the public on the 24th May, running until the 2nd November 2014. The publication, which was published in English and Japanese, includes essays by: Professor Emeritus John Elder: Middlebury College, USA; Professor Shoko Azuma: Jumonji University; Tokyo; Dr. Kaz Oishi: University of Tokyo; Professor Ewan Clayton University of Sunderland; Pamela Woof – President of the Wordsworth Trust; Dr. Carol McKay – University of Sunderland and myself. Thanks also to Ayako Tani and Christopher McHugh for their help in liaising with the Japanese museums involved (Kyoto National Museum; Iga City Bashō Memorial Museum; Waseda Library and Kakimori Bunko)

Patterns of Participation in Classroom Learning
No full textThis study is concerned with the learning experiences and strategies of secondary Aboriginal girls from Elcho Island in the Northern Territory as they study in an urban school in the Gold Coast, Queensland. The girls were learning English as their second and third language. The study details how the ESL teacher/author tried to understand how to meet the needs of these girls who came with such different learning strategies and styles. The teacher/author's visit to their homeland in Elcho Island immediately helped her to understand how the grils' different social and learning experiences had influenced them, and how different their lives were at the new school. The account of observations and analysis of their patterns of participation in their new school give important insights into their learning styles

Wilder McKay correspondences
Get PDFA conjectural generalization of the McKay correspondence in terms of stringy
invariants to arbitrary characteristic, including the wild case, was recently
formulated by the author in the case where the given finite group linearly acts
on an affine space. In cases of very special groups and representations, the
conjecture has been verified and related stringy invariants have been
explicitly computed. In this paper, we try to generalize the conjecture and
computations to more complicated situations such as non-linear actions on
possibly singular spaces and non-permutation representations of non-abelian
groups.Comment: 42 pages. The title has been changed from the previous "The motivic
McKay correspondence for non-linear actions on possibly singular spaces". A
new added subject is computations of weight functions and masses for some
non-permutation representations. Comments are welcom
Open problems in the wild McKay correspondence and related fields
Get PDFThe wild McKay correspondence is a form of McKay correspondence in terms of
stringy invariants that is generalized to arbitrary characteristics. It gives
rise to an interesting connection between the geometry of wild quotient
varieties and arithmetic on extensions of local fields.
The principal purpose of this article is to collect open problems on the wild
McKay correspondence, as well as those in related fields that the author
believes are interesting or important. It also serves as a survey on the
present state of these fields.Comment: 20 page
L'identité diasporique de Claude McKay : la découverte désenchantée du progrès
No full textThis master’s dissertation tackles the issue of Jamaican author Claude McKay’s identity. Oftentimes described as an archetypal author of the Harlem Renaissance or as Jamaica’s national poet, his representations are often incomplete. Taking into account all of McKay’s writings and his travels, we offer a definition of his identity as a diasporic one. Always evolving and reshaping itself, this identity create tension in McKay’s productions. Through his travels and his meetings with fellow artists and thinkers, the author engages himself in an always-frustrated quest for belonging. Modern condition disenchants his discovery of progress.Ce mémoire s’attache à étudier l’identité de l’auteur jamaïcain Claude McKay. Souvent vu comme un auteur archétypal de la Harlem Renaissance, ou comme poète national de la Jamaïque, il est souvent représenté de façon incomplète. En étudiant la totalité du corpus de McKay et l’ensemble de ses voyages, nous proposons de définir son identité comme diasporique. En constante évolution et toujours remise en question, cette identité crée de nombreuses tensions dans l’écriture de McKay. À travers ses voyages et de nombreuses rencontres McKay se lance dans une quête toujours frustrée d’appartenance et découvre le progrès de façon désenchantée
