Dorcas Stories from the Front Room: Caribbean textile narratives then and now
No full textDorcas Stories from the Front Room celebrates 75 years of Windrush, tracing its history and future legacy through stories of textile crafts and fashion, Dorcas Clubs and the symbolic ‘Caribbean front room’.
For many of the Windrush generation their crafting stories decorate the front room but are also made in the front room. This is especially seen through textile networks such as the Dorcas Clubs, which operated in the Black-led churches, many of which have roots in Birmingham.
The exhibition was co-curated by Craftspace Director Deirdre Figueiredo MBE.with Rose Sinclair MBE
The Bibliographic Concept of Work in Cataloguing and its Issues
No full textThis report explores the IFLA’s document Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). It discusses the notion of work in cataloguing as it was built since the 1950s, inasmuch this notion constitutes the conceptual framework for the proposal. Also, the entity-relationship database modeling (ERDM) system is described as far as such model provides to FRBR the operative elements that make it functional. ERDM gives to FRBR a user-centered approach as well. In its third chapter, the report tests the FRBR model through its application to a set of items belonging to the novel Rayuela, by Julio Cortázar, held at the Benson Latin American Collection of the University of Texas at Austin. Finally, some critical issues are raised along with general conclusions regarding the functionality of the mode
Norma Coverdale, B.A.: the treatment of women in selected works of Henry de Montherlant
No full textThe aim of this thesis is to determine how women are treated in selectedworks of Henry de Montherlant. This is explored by examining their relationshipswith other women as well as with men. Inevitably, this leads to an analysis ofthe multifaceted area of love. Part I researches Montherlant's prose work and included in this section is the investigation of the importance of 'l'ordre male' to the author and the influence this exerts over his early prose work in the areas of tauromachy, war and sport, and where the male adherence to this concept leaves women. The 'syncretisme et alternance' which is central to Montherlant's thinking is explored in this section.Part 2 is concerned with Montherlant's theatre in which the psychological development of the main characters is of great importance. It is in this section that a comparative study is made of the influence of Mme. Elisabeth Zehrfuss' written contribution to La Reine morte. Her unpublished notes are set out in full in the Appendix. The thesis also draws on the unpublished correspondence between Henry de Montherlant and Elisabeth Zehrfuss between the years 1934 and 1945. An investigation is made as to whether or not there are any differences between the way women are treated in Montherlant's prose and in his theatre and the conclusion is drawn that there are

Representative Bureaucracy and the Willingness to Coproduce: An Experimental Study
No full textRelying on the theory of representative bureaucracy—specifically, the notion of symbolic representation—this article examines whether varying the number of female public officials overseeing a local recycling program influences citizens’ (especially women's) willingness to cooperate with the government by recycling, thus coproducing important policy outcomes. Using a survey experiment in which the first names of public officials are manipulated, the authors find a clear pattern of increasing willingness on the part of women to coproduce when female names are more represented in the agency responsible for recycling, particularly with respect to the more difficult task of composting food waste. Overall, men in the experiment were less willing to coproduce across all measures and less responsive to the gender balance of names. These findings have important implications for the theory of representative bureaucracy and for efforts to promote the coproduction of public services.This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Riccucci, Norma M., Van Ryzin, Gregg G. & Li, Huafang. (2015). Representative Bureaucracy and the Willingness to Coproduce: An Experimental Study.

An Open Letter to Whomsoever it may Concern Regarding : Scotland – A Brief and Fractured Introduction to the History of the Period 1983/2083
No full textI have 2 essays re-published (the only contributor to have more that one) in this comprehensive critical overview of the last 25 years of Contemporary Visual Art in Scotland.
From the archive, the GENERATION Reader has gathered essays, talks and artist writings from the period, some of which have never been printed before. Artist Ross Sinclair’s essay for the 1991 Windfall exhibition and his nineties satire on a future Scotland as a giant historical theme park have been republished in full for the first time since 1996. Graham Fagen and Ruth Barker write about the challenges for artists working in public. There are robust accounts of the state of art institutions from figures like Adele Patrick and Professor Neil Mulholland as well as recollections of art education from artists including Luke Fowler, Katy Dove, Sara Barker and Corin Sworn.
Available to buy alongside the Guide, the GENERATION Reader is a packed volume, full of the ideas, arguments and inspirations that have shaped contemporary art in Scotland. With an introduction by novelist Louise Welsh, this collection of brand new essays and writings from the archive tells the story of the last 25 years in the voices of the artists and writers who took part, capturing the energy and ideas of the times.
New writings include prize-winning novelist Nicola White’s recollections of her work as a curator in the Glasgow Art Scene in the nineties and her recent travels, retracing the steps of poet Edwin Muir’s Scottish Journey from Orkney to Glasgow, Professor Andrew Patrizio on working with artist Christine Borland to install a one-tonne bale of compressed rubbish into a pristine display case at Kelvingrove Museum and the day that then Prime Minister John Major and his wife Norma visited Glasgow’s McLellan Galleries. Curator Francis McKee describes espresso-fuelled days showing Scotland’s artists at the Venice Biennale.
The GENERATION Reader is the first volume of its kind to be published on contemporary art in Scotland over the last quarter century painting a lively, ambitious and at times controversial picture of the period.
“GENERATION is a major, nation-wide exhibition programme showcasing some of the best and most significant artists to have emerged from Scotland over the last 25 years.
The programme traces the developments in art in Scotland since 1989. It shows the generation of ideas, of experiences, and of world-class art on an unparalleled scale by over 100 artists in more than 60 venues. The artists within GENERATION came to attention whilst working in Scotland, helping to create the vibrant and internationally recognised contemporary art scene that exists here today.
The art that has emerged from Scotland during this period is characterised by its diversity, rather than by one particular style or dominant trend. GENERATION offers an opportunity to see art that is innovative, thought- provoking, imaginative, at times beautiful, at others challenging, but always inspiring.
GENERATION is delivered as a partnership between the National Galleries of Scotland, Glasgow Life and Creative Scotland and is part of Culture 2014, the Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme.
AMERICAN INDIVIDUALISM AND ITS AMBIGUITY IN SINCLAIR LEWIS' MAIN STREET
No full textMain Street merupakan salah satu karya terbaik Sinclair Lewis yang
penuh nilai-nilai sosial diAmerika terutama mengenai eksistensi diri, feminisme,
dan individualisme yang dialami si tokoh utama pada awal abad ke-20. Latar
belakang keluarga, lingkungan, serta pendidikan yang diterimanya menjadikan
dirinya seorang individualis yang mempunyai pola pikir berbeda dari
lingkungannya. Dalam interaksinya dengan lingkungan barunya, yaitu desa
Gopher Prairie, Carol Kennicott, si tokoh utama mengalami berbagai benturan
yang seringkaliberujung pada konflik.Puncak individualismeCarol adalah saat ia
memutuskan meninggalkan masyarakat Gopher Prairie dan suaminya untuk
mencari kehidupan baru di kota besar yang dianggapnya lebih sesuai dengan cita-
citanya.Meski demikian di satu sisi ambiguitas juga muncul dalamdirinya saat ia
berada dalamkebimbangan dan akhirnyamemutuskan kembali kemasyarakat dan
keluarganya. Lewis menggambarkan bahwa individu tidak bisa dipisahkan dari
masyarakat karena individu selalu terikat pada norma dan aturan di mana ia
tinggal, terlebih jika norma dan aturan itu telah turun temurun. Masyarakat akan
melakukan "tekanan" terhadap orang yang membelot dari norma dan aturan
mereka sehingga orang tersebut akan tunduk atau setidaknya melenturkan
ideologinya
