Double Take: A Second Look at a Dance
No full textThis project was a development of work on a dance recreated by the same dancers more than 30 years apart. The performance and rehearsal process threw up a range of issues that support the notion of a dance as a series of successive approximations rather than deriving from an authoritative version, challenging the conventional scholarly view of dances as text. The example work combined in performance video of the dancers from 1986 with the same dancers adapting the work for performance in 2016. This entails more than a negotiation with steps, but also about meaning, where the impact of life is more than merely physical but plays a role in our perception of the performers.
The project had four major outputs and a minor one, with two performances for the camera, a conventionally staged version and a 360 degree version, a conference paper that deals with the archiving of performance, and a longer essay that uses the performances as an example of the unique qualities that dance possesses, dealing with the shortcomings of intellectualised accounts of dance that dominate dance scholarship. It presents challenging evidence about why some precepts that are simply assumed (that the essence of the dance is located in the steps, and the integrity of a restaging requires faithfulness to them). More than this,it rejects the proposition that intellectual or philosophical accounts of dance have much credence given their limitations as a reflection of what is seen and processed outside the framework of the physical

No full text[Extract] You couldn't have witnessed the recent massacre of elephants at Bouba N'Djida National Park and not be worried about the future of biodiversity.
The park, in northern Cameroon, is supposed to be a refuge for rare wildlife such as the African forest elephant and painted hunting dog. But earlier this year, armed poachers invaded the park and began slaughtering its elephants, hacking off their valuable ivory tusks, which are mostly smuggled to China. In the following months, over half of the parks' elephant population - some 350 individuals - was gunned down
Take a Look at the Lawman: Interrogating Critical Responses to the US Version of Life on Mars
No full textWe are living through active and exciting times for television format flows, in terms of both the rich global spectrum of programmes being created and the flourishing of television format studies as a focus of academic enquiry, necessitating correspondingly reformatted critical and theoretical approaches. It is crucial that television format researchers continue to develop new understandings and to shed light upon currently underexplored or overlooked networks of televisual exchange and enterprise. Yet, it is equally important to review more familiar areas of investigation and debate but from a renewed perspective.
Bearing these matters in mind, this chapter (re)turns to a well-worn yet enduringly complex route of cultural and commercial interaction, by examining what the author has referred to previously as UK-to-US television drama translations (Hogg, 2013). The long-standing 'special relationship' between the United Kingdom and the United States in televisual terms has already been extensively and profitably explored (e.g. Miller, 2000; Rixon, 2006; Hilmes, 2011; Weissmann, 2012). Moreover, an edited collection from Carlen Lavigne and Heather Marcovitch (2011) has made some useful inroads towards a better understanding of US versions of UK television formats specifically.
With US translations of UK television dramas becoming ever-more prominent in the global marketplace, the primary aim of this chapter is to reflect further upon critical perceptions surrounding the so-called 'Americanization' of British dramas, by relating these perceptions both to the enduring debates around global power imbalances of culture and economy, and to the more recent developments of television format research. In addition, the chapter will draw on the previous lessons of Adaptation Studies in understanding such processes of creative and cultural transformation. In addressing these aims, the chapter centres upon the production and reception of the US version of the television drama Life on Mars (ABC, 2008-2009)
