The 1946 Production of The Fairy Queen in Covent Garden: 'A Triumph of British Music and Stagecraft'?
2006
This article examines the sets designed by John Piper for eight of Benjamin Britten's operas in the context of England's artistic and political post-war reconstruction. Piper created backdrops that found their logical conclusion in his stained-glass windows. They provide a sense of continuity whilst reflecting fundamental contradictions.

Understanding Structure and Stability of Monoclinic Zirconia Surfaces from First-Principles Calculations
2017
Under the water-rich pre-treatment and/or reaction conditions, structure and chemistry of the monoclinic zirconia surfaces are strongly influenced by oxygen vacancies and incorporated water. Here, we report a combined first-principles and atomistic thermodynamics study on the structure and stability of selected surfaces of the monoclinic zirconia. Our results indicate that among the studied surfaces, the most stable (111) surface is the least vulnerable towards oxygen vacancies in contrast to the less stable (011) and (101) surfaces, where formation of oxygen vacancies is energetically more favorable. Furthermore, we present a vigorous, systematic screening of water incorporation onto the s…
Performing Sound of the Past: Remix in Electronic Dance Music Culture
2014
The term remix, defined as an activity of taking data from pre-existing materials to combine them into new forms according to personal taste, relates to various elements and areas of contemporary culture. Whichever model used, consideration of the remix depends on recognition of pre-existing cultural codes. Therefore, as a second layer, the remix relies on the authority of the original and it functions at the meta-level. The audience may see a trace of history with the pre-existing object and the meaning creates in the viewer(s), reader(s), listener(s) or, in the contemporary world of DJs and popular electronic dance music culture – in dancer(s). With the aim of specifying modes of creating…

Crítica social en La noche de los muertos vivientes y su remake: aportaciones al rol de la mujer en el cine de terror.
2021
Tradicionalmente se ha tenido la percepción de que la mujer en el cine de terror a ocupado un rol pasivo que le llevaba a asumir, casi siempre, el papel de víctima, subyugada en todo momento a los personajes masculinos del texto fílmico. Por este motivo el cine de terror es concebido de forma habitual como un género culturalmente dominado y consumido por hombres, producido por una industria que victimiza y castiga a la mujer una y otra vez. Partiendo de esta premisa y aprovechando la crítica de corte sociopolítico presente en La noche de los muertos vivientes (Night of the Living Dead, George A. Romero, 1968) y su remake del año 1990, nos planteamos un análisis de la crítica elaborada por R…
Símbolos en el atuendo de las mujeres mayas de la antigüedad. Una aproximación iconográfica a tres diseños singulares
2021
Este artículo forma parte de una investigación de mayor envergadura que tiene como objeto de estudio la representación femenina en el arte maya a través de los elementos que conforman sus retratos y definen sus identidades. Tanto las joyas, como la pintura corporal, los tocados o las prendas de vestir, establecían un diálogo con el espectador de su tiempo que si se analiza e interpreta en la actualidad, también puede aproximar al investigador al conocimiento sobre sus portadoras. Por ello, en esta ocasión presentamos concretamente el análisis de tres símbolos que forman parte de la indumentaria de algunas mujeres de la élite maya, entre los cuales cabe destacar el que luce la noble Señora …
"Jeg vil leve mitt liv med å være meg selv" : om selvhevdelse i psykisk helsearbeid
2012
Masteroppgave i psykisk helsearbeid ME-504 2012 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad Kommunene har til oppgave å tilby lokalsamfunnet et virkningsfullt psykisk helsearbeid slik at den enkelte innbygger som har behov for det skal få tilbud om best mulig hjelp til å fungere i et krevende samfunn sammen med andre. Sandnes kommune tilbyr blant annet kurs i selvhevdelse til mennesker som har store utfordringer i forhold til å hevde seg selv. Hensikten med denne studien er å finne ut om deltakere erfarer å få bedre psykisk helse etter å ha deltatt på kurs i selvhevdelse. Problemstillingen i studien er ”Hvilke erfaringer har deltakerne med selvhevdelse etter å ha gjennomgått kurs i selvhevdelse?”. Op…
‘‘This is my home, too’’: Migration, spectrality and hospitality inRoberta Torre’s Sud Side Stori (2000)
2011
The article explores Roberta Torre’s film Sud Side Stori (2000), an extravagant Italian re-vision of Romeo and Juliet set in the Sicilian city of Palermo which displays awareness of the global circulation of the story of the two ‘‘star-crossed lovers’’. In the film, which combines neo-realist cinematographic techniques with the artificial style of the musical, Shakespeare’s young lovers become Toni Giulietto, a lousy local rock singer, and Romea Wacoubo, a beautiful Nigerian prostitute who falls in love with him when she sees him standing on his balcony. Not unlike West Side Story, the inter-racial passion between Toni and Romea exacerbates pre-existing ethnic conflicts. It is opposed not o…
