Repositioning the graphic designer as researcher
No full textIn academic terms, the discipline of graphic design is relatively young. Consequently the position of the discipline within academic territory, and the role of the designer, continue to be debated. In part, these debates have been a product of attempts to define and defend the discipline’s borders from within, in order to establish a sense of the role of graphic design and the graphic designer as commensurate with other disciplines both within and beyond art and design. In recent years graphic designers have variously been defined as ‘authors’, ‘producers’ and ‘readers’, yet none of these definitions seem to have provided any kind of productive or lasting impact within the academy. This paper suggests that rather than continue to seek territorial definitions and positions from within, it could be more productive to look beyond the confines of the discipline. Gaining a broader, interdisciplinary perspective on, and understanding of, qualitative research methods from other disciplines may enable the graphic designer to more fully position his or her practice within the wider academy. Such a perspective could help facilitate the repositioning and redefinition of the graphic designer as ‘researcher’ - a move that would be productive in relation to the future development of postgraduate research within the discipline
From Text, to Myth, to Meme: Penny Dreadful and Adaptation
No full text« Le texte, le mythe, le mème : Penny Dreadful et l’adaptation » étudie la contamination comme catégorie d’adaptation dans la série télévisée Penny Dreadful (Showtime/Sky). Selon David Greetham, le processus de « contamination » intervient « lorsqu’un mode de discours […] en infecte un autre de sorte que nous sommes confrontés aux deux en même temps ». Alison Lee et Frederick King émettent l’hypothèse que la contamination est une des variantes de l’adaptation. La série affirme sans détours son statut d’adaptation, et utilise les concepts de parenté et de théâtralité afin d’attirer l’attention sur la relation d’adaptation au texte d’origine. En opposition aux modèles linéaires et génétiques de l’adaptation, Penny Dreadful transforme le Frankenstein de Mary Shelley (1818, 1831), Le Portrait de Dorian Gray d’Oscar Wilde (1890, 1891) ainsi que le Dracula de Bram Stoker (1897) en des vecteurs de transmission culturelle: les mèmes (cf. Richard Dawkins) qui sont ici redéfinis comme la relation que le récepteur entretient avec la littérature et la culture victoriennes en tant que mythe de la modernité.‘From Text, to Myth, to Meme: Penny Dreadful and Adaptation’ examines contamination as a form of adaptation in the Showtime/Sky television series Penny Dreadful. According to David Greetham, ‘contamination’ occurs when ‘one mode of discourse . . . leaks into or infects another, so that we experience both at the same time.’ Lee and King argue that contamination is a model of adaptation. The series is self-conscious about its status as adaptation, and uses ideas of parenthood and theatricality in order to bring attention to the adaptation’s relationship to an originary text. Challenging linear and genetic models of adaptation, Penny Dreadful transforms Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818, 1831), Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890, 1891), and Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) into vehicles of cultural transmission: memes that have come to redefine the viewer’s relationship to Victorian literature and culture as a myth of modernity

Introduction: The Politics of Resilience and Recovery in Mental Health Care
No full textThe articles included in this special issue engage these themes across a number of national settings, institutional spaces, and empirical sites, from universities to mental health commissions, to national policy in an international context. They focus, especially, on Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom, where recent and significant changes in mental health governance have relied heavily on the notions of recovery and resilience, often to questionable effect. They deal, as we have said, with some of the most central themes in social justice studies. As a collection, the articles help us think through some of the pressing political questions about social justice that have arisen with the adoption of the mantras of resilience and recovery in mental health governance
Negotiating the Culture of Resistance: A Critical Assessment of Protest Politics
No full textBoth for those within the movement and the public at large, the anti-globalization movement has become increasingly defined by large-scale protests such as those opposing the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) in Quebec City. Such events successfully render visible the strength of the movement, expose an emerging global elite, politicize neoliberal restructuring, and capture the media and public's attention. Yet the privileging of large-scale protest for advancing anti-globalist politics is increasingly being questioned both by those involved in the movement and by the Left in general.Peer reviewe
