David Roche (ed.), Steven Spielberg: Hollywood Wunderkind & Humanist
No full textThis collective work provides an engaging and deeply respectful approach to Steven Spielberg, one of the most commercially successful and at the same time critically despised filmmakers of his time. As its editor David Roche acknowledges in his introduction, he himself was reluctant at first to deal with a filmmaker who is recognized for his emotional manipulation and popcorn blockbusters (11). This initial reticence, which is probably common to many other scholars, is soon dispelled by a tho..

Steven Spielberg
No full textSteven Spielberg: Hollywood Wunderkind and Humanist focuses on the most commercialy successful American director of his generation, from his early career at Universal Television to the Oscar-winning Lincoln (2013). The fourteen chapters deal as much with his major hits as with films that have received little critical attention like The Sugarland Express (1974), 1941 (1979) and The Terminal (2004). They address questions of ethics, ideology and identity politics recognized as central to the director’s œuvre, while seeking to make up for the lack of material on the films’ formal qualities and on the notable contributions they have made to classical Hollywood genres such as horror, science fiction and the war movie. This book contests the idea that Spielberg is a “naïve” director, a mere craftsman with an eye for composition and a natural talent for narrative economy. Instead, the book aims to foreground the work’s cohesion, its influences and self-consciousness, its steadfast inscription within the Western humanist tradition, and its resolve to engage with the contemporary and explore complex ethical issues through mainstream narratives, whether “serious” Oscar contenders or action-filled popcorn blockbusters, a dichotomy Spielberg has increasingly sought to blur
Creation as Recreation: Steven Spielberg and the Remake
No full textThis article explores remaking – commonly understood as an inferior commercial Hollywood practice – as a form of (re)creation. The article examines Steven Spielberg’s two remakes, Always (1989) and War of the Worlds (2005), and their contribution to his authorial profile. Exploring remaking as authorial creative practice, then, the article analyzes implications and effects of reappropriation and reinterpretation on cultural production and discourse

Multiple iterations : mapping the trace
No full textThis paper explores the concept that individual dancers leave traces in a choreographer’s body of work and similarly, that dancers carry forward residue of embodied choreographies into other working processes. This presentation will be grounded in a study of the multiple iterations of a programme of solo works commissioned in 2008 from choreographers John Jasperse, Jodi Melnick, Liz Roche and Rosemary Butcher and danced by the author. This includes an exploration of the development by John Jasperse of themes from his solo into the pieces PURE (2008) and Truth, Revised Histories, Wishful Thinking and Flat Out Lies (2009); an adaptation of the solo Business of the Bloom by Jodi Melnick in 2008 and a further adaptation of Business of the Bloom by this author in 2012. It will map some of the developments that occurred through a number of further performances over five years of the solo Shared Material on Dying by Liz Roche and the working process of the (uncompleted) solo Episodes of Flight by Rosemary Butcher. The purpose is to reflect back on authorship in dance, an art form in which lineages of influence can often be clearly observed. Normally, once a choreographic work is created and performed, it is archived through video recording, notation and/or reviews. The dancer is no longer called upon to represent the dance piece within the archive and thus her/his lived presence and experiential perspective disappears. The author will draw on the different traces still inhabiting her body as pathways towards understanding how choreographic movement circulates beyond this moment of performance. This will include the interrogation of ownership of choreographic movement, as once it becomes integrated in the body of the dancer, who owns the dance? Furthermore, certain dancers, through their individual physical characteristics and moving identities, can deeply influence the formation of choreographic signatures, a proposition that challenges the sole authorship role of the choreographer in dance production. This paper will be delivered in a presentation format that will bleed into movement demonstrations alongside video footage of the works and auto-ethnographic accounts of dancing experience. A further source of knowledge will be drawn from extracts of interviews with other dancers including Sara Rudner, Rebecca Hilton and Catherine Bennett
Responses in E. coli to combinatorial stress treatments (HCl, EDTA, H2O2, and CuSO4):
No full textAll living organisms adapt to their environment through a series of biochemical responses. Escherichia coli (E. coli) have a plethora of different enzymes, sigma factors, and other biomolecules that assist in stress relief. These experiments showed that E. coli have stress responses for individual stresses. These stress responses are not always additive when exposed to multiple stress factors.
Many times an individual stress response is triggered to counteract a single environmental change. Sometimes this same stress response will aid the cells with a different, unrelated stress. When both stresses are present, more of this stress response will materialize as a response to both stresses and will help prevent too much damage to the cell. This is called "cross-protection" of stress. After seeing the results of these experiments, it is believed that E. coli has some global stress responses and many of the biomolecules used to fight stress are involved in cross-protection of multiple stresses.
These results were generated using a method where E. coli were grown onto control agar plates as well as plates treated with small concentrations of lethal substances. Using a technique called "Blue/White Screening" and colony counting software, the amount of colonies grown overnight on these plates could be counted. The area of the colonies and the relative amount of β-galactosidase transcribed and translated could also be measured. The control plates and treated plates were compared using these three criteria. The different individual stresses were also compared.
Plates were also treated with combinations of the same stresses and compared to the single treatment plates. Much of the data collected indicated a difference in E. coli's responses to an individual stress and how E. coli would be expected to react if the stress responses were additive. This proves that there was some cross-protection taking place in some instances.
Changes in distributions were also examined for each set of plates in order to examine the effect of the stresses on the stochastic nature of E. coli growth and functional protein production. Differences were noticed when comparing the distributions of control plates and stress plates. Differences were seen in different types and combinatorial stressors as well.
The second half of the experiments done here focused on using high performance liquid chromatography to find differences in concentration of molecules in E. coli extracts that were treated with hydrogen peroxide for a brief amount of time and control E. coli extracts not put under any stress. This experiment proved to be too inconsistent to learn any facts. There was an issue with the chemistry involved in the E. coli extracts reactions with the indicator molecules used to find free thiols and free amines in the extracts.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 171-184)by Steven Middle

Die Schreibweisen der Sophie von La Roche
No full textInternational audienceDer Beitrag führt exemplarisch die Verwendung von drei unterschiedlichen Schreibweisen durch Sophie von La Roche (1730–1807) vor. Während das Komisch‐Parodistische vor allem zu Beginn ihrer Karriere greifbar ist, ist das lebenslange Festhalten am Moralisch‐Didaktischen und am Hybriden als typisches Kennzeichen ihres Schreibens, aber auch als eine Ursache für ihre immer stärkere Marginalisierung im literarischen Betrieb des ausgehenden 18. Jahrhunderts zu begreifen.The article analyses the use of three different modes of writing (‘Schreibweisen’) by Sophie von La Roche (1730–1807). It is argued that at the beginning of her literary career La Roche wrote in a comic‐parodistic style, while moral‐didactic and hybrid writing are typical characteristics of her entire œuvre. La Roche's use of moral‐didactic and hybrid modes needs to be seen as one of the reasons for the growing marginalisation of the author at the end of the eighteenth century
