“Mark the music”: Shakespearean female characters in contemporary rock music
Get PDFThrough an investigation grounded on the theoretical and methodological guidelines provided by women's studies and reader response theories, this contribution aims to consider the ways in which Shakespeare's female characters are used and reshaped in the lyrics of rock songs written in English by male singer-songwriters, between the 1960s and the 1990s. Given the amplitude of the topic and the ungraspable nature of such fields as popular culture and pop-Shakespeare, the author does not (and cannot) aim to be exhaustive, but rather addresses the issue by selecting four characters, Juliet, Ophelia, Cordelia, and Lady Macbeth, whose musical alter egos will be analysed by the close reading of a selection of songs written and sung by rock singer-songwriters chosen for their representativeness and their popularity. The analysis will try and answer the following questions: which aspects of the dramatic characters are highlighted or, on the contrary, omitted in the songs? What is the function of this musical use of Shakespeare's work? Through their musical identity, do these female characters reinforce or undermine the socio-cultural and psychological oppression of women characteristic of a patriarchal culture? What can the role of these musical offshoots play in the study of Shakespeare's reception
“Schakespear in der Klemme: Johann Friedrich Schink and the Problem of Adaptation”
No full textIn his short play Schakespear in der Klemme, oder wir wollen doch auch den Hamlet spielen, 1 Johann Friedrich Schink pictures the ghosts of William Shakespeare and David Garrick in heaven as they meet the ghost of Jean-François Ducis, author of the famous 1769 French adaptation of Hamlet, and two actors of Schink’s Theater Schule, directed by Müller, who are about to perform Hamlet. This hilarious play is, in Andreas Höfele’s words, “a solid, if none-too-subtle piece of theatrical entertainment combining the ever-popular sport of bashing the French with a laugh at the current craze for Hamlet”. 2 This paper aims to demonstrate that the play’s nationalist lampoons and hilarious gags are also significant metatextual elements, which are worth investigating to outline Schink’s insights into the problematic issue of Shakespearean adaptations. Studies on Shakespeare’s afterlife, particularly in Germany, build up the theoretical basis of this contribution, and the ‘close reading’ methodology is used in the analysis of the play

Development of an aquaporin-4 orthogonal array of particle-based ELISA for neuromyelitis optica autoantibodies detection
Get PDFSerological markers of Nuromyelitis Optica (NMO), an autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system, are autoantibodies targeting the astrocytic water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4). We have previously demonstrated that the main epitopes for these autoantibodies (AQP4-IgG) are generated by the supramolecular arrangement of AQP4 tetramers into an Orthogonal Array of Particles (OAPs). Many tests have been developed to detect AQP4- IgG in patient sera but several procedural issues affect OAP assembly and consequently test sensitivity. To date, the protein based ELISA test shows the lowest sensitivity while representing a valid alternative to the more sensitive cell based assay (CBA), which, however, shows economic, technical and interpretation problems. Here we have developed a high perfomance ELISA in which native OAPs are used as the molecular target. To this aim a native size exclusion chromatography method has been developed to isolate integral, highly pure and AQP4-IgG-recognized OAPs from rat brain. These OAPs were immobilized and oriented on a plastic plate by a sandwich approach and 139 human sera were tested, including 67 sera from NMO patients. The OAP-ELISA showed a 99% specificity and a higher sensitivity (91%) compared to the CBA test. A comparative analysis revealed an end-point titer three orders of magnitude higher than the commercial ELISA and six times higher than our in-house CBA test. We show that CNS-extracted OAPs are crucial elements in order to perform an efficient AQP4-IgG test and the OAP-ELISA developed represents a valid alternative to the CBA currently used. © 2015 Pisani et al.
