Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer
No full text‘Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer’ is a critical and creative answer to the question: How do we construct Anne Shirley, and what does she mean to us? This creative research submission is a work of fanfiction, specifically a mash up based on Anne of the Island, L.M.M. Montgomery’s sequel to Anne of Green Gables. In this short work of fiction (under 4 thousand words) Anne is revealed as a changeling, one of the Faerie Folk, and also a being not strictly male or female; sometimes neither, sometimes both. The mash up is based on the last two chapters of Anne of the Island, the scenes in which Gilbert Blythe is seriously ill and Anne realises she loves him. This realisation causes Anne, in this version, to reveal to Gilbert that she is both non-human and not a girl, and to use Faerie magic to save Gilbert’s life. Anne’s revelation causes Gilbert a great relief, as he has been keeping a secret also - that he too is queer. The piece has an accompanying research statement and reflection, that reflects on the ways the contributor/author interprets Anne, as a being troubled by gender, and not strictly gender conforming. The much-loved scene from Anne of Green Gables in which Anne realises she is not wanted by the Cuthberts because she is not a boy is inserted into the mash up (as a memory) as this scene is the principal cause for the contributor’s identification with Anne as a gender non-conforming figure who resists gender expectations. Overall, this creative and critical work and reflection queers both Anne as a character and the Anne of the Island novel.Book chapter - work of fiction with a critical reflective essa

A sojourn in Paris 1824-25: sex and sociability in the manuscript writings of Anne Lister (1791-1840)
No full textThis thesis examines the day to day practices that constituted Anne Lister's (1791-1840) sexuality and sociability within the range of her writings, as well as her society. Anne's writings were a detailed account, spanning her lifetime, of her own love and relationships with the 'fairer sex' (Whitbread 1988, 145). Anne's sociality, seen in her correspondence and plain handwritten journal entries, has been explored by Muriel Green in Miss Lister of Shibden Hall and Jill Liddington in Female Fortune and Nature's Domain (Green 1992; Liddington 1998; 2003). As a gentlewoman of adequate means, Anne has garnered some attention from women's historians interested in her agency within an early nineteenth century social and historical context. Anne's sexual identity has been extensively analysed over the past nearly twenty years by lesbian feminists, queer theorists, women's historians and historians of sexuality concerned with the history and development of modern Western female homosexuality and gender. The source for theorising Anne's sexuality has been the edited selections of the crypted journal entries, published by Helena Whitbread in I Know My Own Heart and No Priest but Love (Whitbread 1988; 1992). However, many analyses deal either with the theorisation of Anne's sexuality or her sociality; the theoretical difficulty with reconciling these categories has troubled the analysis of her complex subjectivity. Drawing upon the archival materials, I have used an interdisciplinary feminist approach to analyse the sexual and social processes of Anne's everyday interactions in her writings. Taking the seven month period of the sojourn to Paris in 1824-25, I have focused upon Anne's textual practices within her journal volume and letters during her residence in Paris, her social practices with the other guests at the guesthouse 24 Place Vendome and her sexual practices with her lover, the widow Mrs. Maria Barlow. The journal volumes and correspondence are a valuable historical record of one gentlewoman's engagement with early nineteenth century British culture
Racine's Phaedra as poetic photojournalism
No full textFor the Comedie-Francaise’s 1995 production of Racine’s Phaedra, Director Anne Delbee chose world-famous French photographer Lucien Clergue to illustrate the accompanying theatre program with ten black-and-white photographs. Drawing from his background in newspaper and theatre photography, and with the full cooperation of the Comedie-Francaise, Lucien Clergue expanded the initial assignment into a high-quality hardcover book—Phaedra—which successfully blended Racine’s original text, Christian Lacroix’s original costume drawings, Director Anne Delbee’s commentary, and his own black-and-white and color photography. This article examines the nature of photojournalism and the photo essay, as well as the elements of poetic photographic vision, and discusses Lucien Clergue’s Phaedra as an expression of what the author calls “poeticphotojournalism”.Rowe, W. (1999, Fall). "Racine's Phaedra as poetic photojournalism." The Cal Poly Pomona Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, 12, 157-168
Plasmodium falciparum:Rosettes do not protect merozoites from invasion-inhibitory antibodies
No full textRosetting is a parasite adhesion phenotype associated with severe malaria in African children. Why parasites form rosettes is unknown, although enhanced invasion or immune evasion have been suggested as possible functions. Previous work showed that rosetting does not enhance parasite invasion under standard in vitro conditions. We hypothesised that rosetting might promote invasion in the presence of host invasion-inhibitory antibodies, by allowing merozoites direct entry into the erythrocytes in the rosette and so minimising exposure to plasma antibodies. We therefore investigated whether rosetting influences invasion in the presence of invasion-inhibitory antibodies to MSP-1. We found no difference in invasion rates between isogenic rosetting and non-rosetting lines from two parasite strains, R29 and TM284, in the presence of MSP-1 antibodies (P = 0.62 and P = 0.63, Student's t test, TM284 and R29, respectively). These results do not support the hypothesis that rosettes protect merozoites from inhibitory antibodies during invasion. The biological function of rosetting remains unknown

The Diary of Anne Frank Costume Design
03-08-24
Theatre costume design requires having a dual perspective on small details as well as the big picture. It is a collaborative art form resulting in an intricate storytelling medium. For the theatre, there is a process of research that must go into your work. UNOTheatre\u27s process starts in the year before a production opens, beginning with script analysis and discussion with the design team. Throughout the design process, research, rough sketches, and final design packages are presented. For The Diary of Anne Frank, it was important for the team to respect the story we were telling and uphold its important message. Looking at character analysis, silhouettes, and color palettes is one aspect, but more research must be done when the production is based on a true story. The costume designer needs to be able to aid in the storytelling while also respecting the people being represented. After the final design packages are submitted, the execution period can start. For this production, a total of four costumes were made from scratch. It is important for every actor to be seen in a fitting a couple of times before first dress. Throughout the execution process, a collaboration between the other designers and the director still happens. When the show gets close to opening, the head of wardrobe gets involved and is informed of all the design intricacies so they can uphold the design throughout the run of the show. Everything that was just mentioned is tracked through a series of paperwork used as a communication tool. Anne Frank, the protagonist of the story, is represented in a bright, warm yellow to contrast with the rest of the family, who are in a cool-toned color palette. This separation was meant to represent how she viewed going into hiding as an adventure, whereas her family saw it for the horror and tragedy that it was. This all changed in Act Two, when the families had been in the secret annex for 18 months, and the color palette blended together. A production such as this takes a lot of hard work and planning to execute; however, it is all worth it in the end to see you and your team\u27s hard work come together
