Shakespeare and child's play : performing lost boys on stage and screen
No full text'Childness' - the essential nature of being a child - remains a vital critical issue for us today. In this text, Carol Rutter shows how recent performances on stage and film have used the range of Shakespeare's insights in order to re-examine and re-think these issues in terms of today's society and culture.
Shakespeare wrote more than fifty parts for children, amounting to the first comprehensive portrait of childhood in the English theatre. Focusing mostly on boys, he put sons against fathers, servants against masters, innocence against experience, testing the notion of masculinity, manners, morals, and the limits of patriarchal power. He explored the nature of relationships and ideas about parenting in terms of nature and nurture, permissiveness and discipline, innocence and evil. He wrote about education, adolescent rebellion, delinquency, fostering, and child-killing, as well as the idea of the redemptive child who 'cures' diseased adult imaginations. 'Childness' - the essential nature of being a child - remains a vital critical issue for us today. In Shakespeare and Child's-Play Carol Rutter shows how recent performances on stage and film have used the range of Shakespeare's insights in order to re-examine and re-think these issues in terms of today's society and culture
Le Cid anglais de Joseph Rutter : les stratégies extra-poétiques d’un traducteur courtisan
No full textInternational audience« Le Cid anglais de Joseph Rutter : les stratégies extra-poétiques d’un traducteur courtisan »Le Cid de Corneille est paru en anglais en 1638, l’année suivant sa publication en français qui avait suivi de peu sa première apparition scénique. L’auteur de la traduction en blank verse, Joseph Rutter, était un poète mineur, auteur de pastorales et proche du milieu de la reine Henriette-Marie, fille d’Henri IV. Dans le contexte du règne personnel de Charles Ier, trois ans avant la convocation des deux parlements de 1640, quel était le sens d’une traduction qui, comme la pastorale, ne pourrait que soulever l’ire des opposants « puritains » au roi et à sa cour ? Quels messages politiques, culturels et confessionnels une telle traduction voulue pour la scène pouvait-elle véhiculer à l’intention des élites courtisane, politique et oppositionnelle ? Et pourquoi traduire la suite du Cid, de la plume d’un autre auteur français, en 1640 ? Telles sont les énigmes qu’on tentera d’élucider dans cet article

Análisis y preparación para la interpretación del Magnificat de John Rutter
No full textEl presente trabajo se centra en el Magníficat de John Rutter; compositor nacido en Londres (Inglaterra) el 24 de septiembre de 1945; y específicamente en su obra compuesta para orquesta, coro y voz femenina solista (soprano o mezzosoprano) en el año de 1990. En el cual, partiendo de una contextualización histórica y estética del compositor, y de un análisis musical de la misma, se busca profundizar en el conocimiento de esta obra contemporánea poco conocida e interpretada en Colombia y en Latinoamérica, y como consecuencia de ello, se busca visibilizar este tipo de repertorio sinfónico coral enmarcado dentro del repertorio sacro y brindar información que permita responder a las necesidades interpretativas y de preparación para el montaje de la obra. Como complemento, se adiciona un recorrido histórico del Magníficat como género musical religioso a lo largo de la historia y un análisis de los más importantes Magnificat para orquesta, coro y solistas, representantes de cada uno de los periodos de la música (barroco, clásico y romántico), los cuales serán comparados entre sí, incluyendo el Magnificat de John Rutter como obra analizada del período contemporáneo. Se encontrará en este trabajo cómo el Magnificat de Rutter, desde la mirada neotonalista del compositor, ofrece una obra ecléctica, con el empleo de técnicas modernas de composición que permite encontrar desde los elementos de la música contemporánea actual, el uso de polimétricas o métrica irregular, el empleo de ritmos exóticos, de elementos musicales propios del jazz, poliacordes o recursos del bitonalismo, diversas texturas corales y armonía modal. Desde los elementos propios a la tradición musical, incorpora acertadamente elementos del canto gregoriano, presenta tratamientos antifonales y con la incorporación de textos a la estructura del Magnificat, retoma el recurso utilizado en el siglo XV llamado, metáfora floral. Por lo anterior, este trabajo mostrará porqué el “Magnificat” de John Rutter posee elementos atractivos como obra contemporánea, de valor estético y belleza artística, que puede brindar a los músicos de hoy y a generaciones futuras, una experiencia musical interesante como reto artístico, y en el hoy, didácticamente refrescante para intérpretes y público en general.

In which, it starting from a historical context and aesthetics of composer and musical analysis of it, seeks to deepen knowledge is little known and interpreted in our country and in Latin America contemporary work, and as a result it seeks to visualize this type of Orchestral and Choral Literature framed within the sacred repertoire, and provide information to answer the interpretative and preparation for assembly the work needs. As a complement, a historical approach of the Magnificat is added as a religious musical genre throughout history and an analysis of the most important Magnificat for orchestra, choir and soloists, representatives of each of the periods of music (baroque, classical and romantic), which will be compared with each other, including the Magnificat of John Rutter as work analyzed the contemporary period. You will find in this work as the Magnificat Rutter, from neotonalista look composer, it offers an eclectic work, with use of modern techniques of composition, to find from the elements of the current contemporary music, using polymetric or irregular rhythm, use of exotic rhythms, own musical elements of jazz, polychord or bitonalismo resources, various choral textures, modal harmony.

Price vs. clinical guidelines in primary care statin prescribing: a retrospective cohort study and cost simulation model
No full textObjective: To investigate the relative impact of generic entry and NICE clinical guidelines on prescribing using statins as an exemplar.Design: Retrospective analysis of statin prescribing in primary care, and cost simulation model.Setting: Royal College of General Practitioners Research and Surveillance Centre (RCGP R&SC) database and Prescription Cost Analysis (PCA) database.Participants: New patients prescribed statins for the first time between July 2003 and September 2018. Results: General trends of statins' prescriptions were largely driven by a decrease in acquisition costs triggered by patent expiration, preceding NICE guidelines which themselves did not seem to affect prescription trends. We also observe significant heterogeneity in the prescription of the most cost-effective statin across GPs. A cost simulation shows that, between 2004 and 2018, the NHS could have saved £2.8bn (around 40% of the £6.3bn spent on statins during this time) if all GP practices had prescribed only the most cost-effective treatment.Conclusions: There is potential for large savings for the NHS if new and, whenever possible, on-going patients are promptly switched to the first medicine that becomes available as generic within a therapeutic class as long as it has similar efficacy to still patented medicines

Religion, cognition and author-function : Dyer, Southwell, Lodge and As You Like It.
No full textThe thesis incorporates the view that allegory as a mode of communication is impossible. Accordingly, religious meanings of Elizabethan literary texts usually read as "secular" works are registered herein without recourse to positing an allegorical level of meaning in those texts. In order to arrive at relatively secure readings, texts have been selected which have explicit interrelationships (for example, texts which are parodies or adaptations of earlier texts). Registering the tenor of the later texts' departures allows contemporary production of meaning from the earlier works to be traced. The aim, however, is not merely to show that Elizabethan "secular" texts are far more religious than tends to be supposed; the thesis seeks to demonstrate the extent to which theories of cognition were inseparable in the period from doctrinal issues. Early modems not only thought and read religiously, religious concepts informed their cognitive theories (and vice versa). The thesis culminates in a reading of As You Like It, arguing that the play employs facultative rhetoric (as derived from scholastic faculty psychology) in order to present human appetence as co-efficient in salvation. In doing so, the play downgrades the role of the intellectual faculty. The notion of author/dramatist as governing intellect is thereby brought into question. Accordingly, the thesis also traces the development of attitudes towards author-function in its study-texts, demonstrating the extent to which a given text's cognitive model and its rhetorical stance towards crucial doctrinal issues (relating to human participation in salvation) affect its deployment of, and attitude towards, author-function
