Patrick Conlon
No full textSeries 328 | Board of Pardons | Prisoners' pardon application case files | Patrick ConlonCase files consist of letters to the Governor, a formal application for a pardon, petitions and letters of support from the public and officials connected to the case. Cases illustrate the process of review by the board of cases of prisoners incarcerated in the Utah prison system to determine if they should be released before their regular sentence ended
Later On, Later on, and in Another Country
No full textThis article discusses Evelyn Conlon’s Later On (2004), an edited collection of writings commissioned as a memorial for the town thirty years after the bombing of 17 May 1972. It explores how notions of trauma, collective and individual memory and in particular healing through telling and writing are relevant, not only to the collection but to subsequent responses. As the chapter reveals, in the process of preparing the volume, attention is drawn to the balming and recuperative function of memory, which functions to exorcise the negative emotions of horror and fear in a book which was for Conlon an act of restitution, a duty of commitment to be part of the trauma which affected her community of origin
Translating Evelyn Conlon
No full textThis chapter explores the challenges encountered by the translator of Evelyn Conlon’s fiction. As will be argued, the writer’s gendered perspective, unobtrusive, and yet powerfully pervasive, cannot be ignored by the translator. In this respect, Conlon’s female characters fictionally embody what Donna Haraway (1988) has called “situated practices.” Drawing on all this, the chapter will focus on a discussion of the Italian translations (by the author of the chapter herself) of “Dear You,” first published in English and Italian in the literary journal Tratti (2013) and of “Two Gallants,” published in Dubliners 100 (2014)
Convergence Points in Conlon Nancarrow’s Tempo Canons
No full textA major structural feature of Conlon Nancarrow’s tempo canons, in which canonic material moves at different speeds in different voices, is the places where the musical lines converge to a simultaneous attack. These convergence points can vary in importance and function, and, depending on the type of canon being used in the piece, there may be only one or two convergence points per piece, or many. This paper considers the work of Nancarrow scholars such as Kyle Gann, Margaret Thomas, and the current author, examines the features of convergence points in Nancarrow’s tempo canons, and illustrates the many ways they are used in his Studies for Player Piano. Attention is also paid to compositional choices made by Nancarrow regarding where opportunities for convergences would occur (i.e., points of simultaneity), and how these might be manipulated, emphasized, de-emphasized, or avoided. The discussion of convergence points leads to an analysis of Study No. 27, Nancarrow’s last acceleration canon.</jats:p
Countercultural communes: rejection or reflection of conventional mainstream gender norms?
No full textThis thesis utilizes a gendered analytical lens and a feminist framework in order to explore if the sixties countercultural communards of Colorado’s Drop City, Tennessee’s The Farm, and Virginia’s Twin Oaks achieved liberation from the mainstream gender roles that characterized post-World War II America. This study complicates the common assumption that communes represented spaces of liberation for individuals who wished to escape an oppressive and inequitable post-war society. Overall, this thesis found that men at Drop City, The Farm, and Twin Oaks were not only freed from their contemporary gender roles, but they were also able to remake meanings of masculinity within the communal context. This thesis also demonstrates that new meanings of masculinity tended to perpetuate traditional assumptions about male dominance and female domesticity. Additionally, this thesis discovered that incorporation of structure in communes, a facet of mainstream America that communards sought to escape, ironically furthered gender liberation and contributed to feminist growth in Twin Oaks in the 1970s and 1980s.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Kerry L.

Descripciones de Kyle Gann como parte del análisis de la música para piano mecánico de Conlon Nancarrow, y aportaciones al describir su escucha
No full textMusic, of course, and mathematics are essential in Conlon Nancarrow's work. In the book The Music of Conlon Nancarrow, Kyle Gann uses musical and mathematical terms and notations, but he also subjectively describes this music, this gives us another way to approach it through the perception and imagination of the aforementioned author. Some of those descriptions will be included as an example. On the other hand, we are also going to describe what we hear in this music or what we imagine with it, possibly we could help the description of this music. Descriptions usually refer to accumulations or overlaps of rhythms and sounds. Readers could do a similar listening and description exercise to express what they experienced with this music.La música, por supuesto, y las matemáticas son esenciales en la obra de Conlon Nancarrow. En el libro La música de Conlon Nancarrow, Kyle Gann se expresa con términos y notaciones musicales y matemáticas, pero además describe subjetivamente la música, lo que ofrece otra manera de acercarse a ella a través de la percepción e imaginación de dicho autor. Se mostrarán algunas de esas descripciones como ejemplo. Por otra parte, también se va a describir lo que se escucha en esta música o lo que se imagina con ella de manera personal, con la intención de contribuir con la descripción de dicha música. Las descripciones suelen referir a acumulaciones o superposiciones de ritmos y sonidos. Los lectores pueden realizar similar ejercicio de escucha y descripción para expresar lo que experimentaron con esta música
Remembering the Troubles
No full textRemembering the Troubles is a dossier collecting articles based on an afternoon discussion workshop as part of the “Languages of War” series held at the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies on Language, Culture and Translation held in March 2005. The papers discussed the themes of memory and forgetting with particular reference to two books on the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 1974, The Dublin and Monaghan Bombings, by Don Mullan, and Later On. The Monaghan Bombing Memorial Anthology, edited by Evelyn Conlon, both of whom were present at the workshop. The dossier is divided into three parts. The first is an introductory section in which Raffaella Baccolini discusses different approaches to memory and forgetting in relation to the theme of trauma, and Patrick Leech gives a general introduction to the 1974 bombings. The second section, “Remembering Monaghan”, consists of four papers discussing the theme of memory, remembering and forgetting as they emerge in Evelyn Conlon’s collection. The third expands the discussion to include a consideration of the theme of memory in relation to the Belfast of the period of the “Troubles”. This section includes a previously unpublished autobiographical account of Don Mullan’s experiences on a placement in a Protestant Youth Club, Parkmore, in Belfast. The dossier closes with a “Postscript” by Evelyn Conlon
A note on the magnitude of the flux superpotential
No full textThe magnitude of the flux superpotential W flux plays a crucial role in determining the scales of IIB string compactifications after moduli stabilisation. It has been argued that values of W flux ≠1 are preferred, and even required for physical and consistency reasons. This note revisits these arguments. We establish that the couplings of heavy Kaluza-Klein modes to light states scale with the internal volume as g ∼ M KK /M P ∼ -2/3 ≠1 and argue that consistency of the superspace derivative expansion requires gF/M 2 ∼ m 3/2 /M KK ≠1, where F is the auxiliary field of the light fields and M the ultraviolet cutoff. This gives only a mild constraint on the flux superpotential, W flux ≠1/3, which can be easily satisfied for (1) values of W flux. This regime is also statistically favoured and makes the Bousso-Polchinski mechanism for the vacuum energy hierarchically more efficient. © 2014 The Author(s)
