"Ice Road" by Gillian Slovo. [review - radio script]
No full text"Ice road" is a novel of nineteenth century proportions by prolific British author Gillian
Slovo. With its broad canvas of Russian history and large cast of characters, led by a
young woman called Natasha, it consciously harks back to Tolstoy’s "War and Peace".
The story begins with a cleaner called Irina Davydovna Arbatova, a pragmatic
worker born at the beginning of the twentieth century, who by various chance encounters
becomes involved in the family of Boris Aleksandrovic Ivanov, a party official, one of the new soviet ruling class. The setting is Leningrad, and the year is 1934
Editing Aphra Behn in the Digital Age: An Interview with Gillian Wright and Alan Hogarth
Full text linkThis interview provides a view of the work in progress for the Cambridge University Press edition of the Complete Works of Aphra Behn. Gillian Wright serves as a general editor (with Elaine Hobby, Claire Bowditch, and Mel Evans) as well as the volume editor for Behn’s poetry. Alan Hogarth is the Postdoctoral Research Associate working with Mel Evans on the computational stylistics and author attribution testing. The discussion focuses on the scope and principles of editing the poetry of Aphra Behn, the role of stylometry in establishing the corpus, the status of work, a few particular poems, and some surprises
Daylighting pedagogy: How can new pedagogic approaches for daylighting enhance opportunities for engaging with daylight in spatial design education?
Full text linkExperience of spatial design practice (architecture, interior and lighting design) and spatial design teaching in the UK has highlighted a growing dichotomy in the field of architectural daylighting design. A separation is apparent between either quantitative or qualitative daylighting design agendas, growing out of, and characterising divergent Communities of Practice.
This issue is of critical concern as we consider the emergent challenges facing spatial designers. Spatial designers will be expected to contribute to building occupants’ health and well-being through the aesthetic and functional requirements of the spatial design, consistently meeting building energy targets and integrating new technological advances into holistically evaluated spatial design proposals. Daylighting plays an important role in meeting these challenges. Although spatial designers attribute great value to daylit architectural spaces, this study demonstrates that for many architects and interior designers, their use of existing daylighting threshold concepts, lighting tools, definitions and metrics is limited, indicating problematic underlying ontological and pedagogical perspectives. As a consequence of this, the design aims and occupants’ spatial environments are compromised.
This thesis therefore asks:
• How can new pedagogical methodologies challenge current ontologies in
relation to daylight in spatial design contexts?
• How can these methodologies benefit future spatial design and daylighting
agendas?
The thesis outlines these dichotomies, drawing on educational and design process theories and studying the ontological agendas for daylighting prevalent within spatial design educational contexts and practice. It identifies new ways of thinking about daylight needed to address and transform this current situation.
Pedagogical approaches are proposed, based on ‘threshold concepts’ Cousin (2006), designed to underpin daylighting design decision making and align with familiar ‘designerly ways of knowing’ Cross (2006). The thesis subsequently challenges, proposes and explores a dual-ontological approach for daylighting design exploring heuristic methods to assist future holistic design demands.
The study uses recorded task-based workshops to reveal the success of these
designed didactics in exposing and supporting relational thinking using selected
threshold concepts for daylight. The methods proposed invite simultaneous qualitative and quantitative translational moments through, ‘see’ing, ‘touch’ing and ‘record’ing light.
The research concludes that simultaneous engagement with the dual-ontologies for daylight not only encourages relational understanding of the greater spatial
environment but broadens a designer’s perspective of daylighting design and the
criticality of its place within future holistic spatial design proposals

Conjuring our beings: Stacey Gillian Abe and Immy Mali in conversational partnership
No full textThe series of Conversational Partnerships began in 2017 in African Arts vol. 50, no. 2, with a conversation between two artists: Eria Nsubuga SANE from Uganda and Sikhumbuzo Makandula from South Africa. The format of a “conversational partnership” (Rubin and Rubin 2012: 7) emphasizes the cocreation of meaning by the interviewer and interviewee as coauthors. This enables a move away from the art history format of the interviewer (usually a writer) assuming the role of the sole author and the interviewee (often an artist) having no status as an author despite the fact that her or his practice-led creation of knowledge is foundational to the content of the interview. Stacey Gillian Abe and Immy Mali participated in a joint artists' residency as part of the RAW program at Rhodes University in South Africa from November to December 2017. During this time, they engaged with each other's practice-led work, and they created this conversational partnership at a writing breakaway in the Eastern Cape

Analiza enodejank Gillian Plowman
Full text linkThis diploma paper explores three dramatic texts by Gillian Plowman - Me and My Friend (1990), The Window Cleaner (2006) and The Ox and the Ass. Its main topic is the study of characters featuring in the works and their linguistic and stylistic expression as shown at the levels of register, colloquialisms and slang. In the first part, the history and basic features of the one act play are discussed. In the second part, linguistic and stylistic features of the plays are examined, paying special attention to the differences and similarities between characters and plays. The examination provides a framework for the comparison which is summarized in the concluding part of the paper. The author\u27s main concern is to establish main differences and similarities between stylistic makeup of individual plays and characters and to find out to what extent the playwright has succeeded in adapting seemingly simple plot for the more demanding audiences of the 21 century.Diplomsko delo razčlenjuje tri dramska besedila Gillian Plowman - Me and My Friend (1990), The Window Cleaner (2006) in The Ox and the Ass. Avtorica podrobno raziskuje in razčlenjuje glavne osebe in jezikovne ter slogovne značilnosti del, kot se kažejo na ravni registra ter pogovornih in sleng izrazov. Prvi del diplomskega dela obsega zgodovino enodejanke in njene bistvene značilnosti. Drugi del raziskuje jezikovne in slogovne značilnosti značajev in posameznih iger ter ugotavlja podobnosti in razlike med njimi, ki jih nato povzema v zaključnem delu. Avtorico zanima, v koliki meri je pisateljici uspelo prilagoditi navidezno preprost zaplet zahtevnejšim potrebam publike 21. stoletja
