Growing up, my sister and I listened to the soundtrack of the musical Pip-pin (1972) so frequently, with such verve, that a permanent skip formed in the middle of “War Is a Science.” (We eventually bought a replacement record.) I don’t recall her ever expressing interest in any other musical, but she LOVEDPippin. She was a particular fan of Ben Vereen, who received a Tony Award for Best A…

Including original research carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic, the b…
Which kind of music do I listen to and which not? Can I go to a classical music concert if I have never been to one? Can I, as a pop music fan, attend a heavy metal concert? Which music do I talk about with my friends? How do I communicate my preferences? And what does it even mean to be a jazz fan? In light of the fundamentally social function of music, this book tries to answer the question o…
Four days after the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, the Los Angeles Police Department established O.J. Simpson as their prime suspect. Inconsistencies in his statements to law officials and first DNA testing results constituted grounds for an arrest warrant, and Simpson was subsequently ordered to turn himself in; a rare privilege in a homicide investigation that immediately…
grew up without television. My parents believed that television was a badthing; it cost too much, would take attention away from other activities,would lead to passivity and obstruct family life. This was in Norway in the1960s and my parents’beliefs resonated with the dominant misgivingsabout television at the time.As a child, I was proud of our TV-free life. But the resistance did notstick. …
While a larger history of medieval Indian theatre, comprehensively accounting for its different literary, theoretical, and performative strands, still needs to be written, the ambition of the present study is to explore the emergence of an original debate on the nature of dance and dramatic acting in the Abhinavabh?rat?, Abhinavagupta’s eleventh-century commentary on Bharata’s N??ya??stra. …
Strolling through the streets of Paris at the end of the nineteenth century, an urban observer happens on an advertisement for the Folies-Bergère, a music hall and revue theater (fig. 1). Illustrated on this poster is a slim, captivating woman; her posterior is exposed, and she is on her tiptoes in heels, coyly look-ing back at the spectator. Her flowing hair creates the impression that she is…
It was the last day of October 2015 when I attended Rootlessroot’s (2015) performance Europium [The end of the world will be better this year]1 at the Onassis Stegi in Athens, Greece. Europium, the chemical element, is known for its volatile and unpredictable nature, much like the narratives circulating internationally about Greeks during the Greek financial crisis. …
Funk and disco era California dancing demonstrates a dynamic fluidity of stylistic boundaries, reflective of dancers’ travels within and across neigh-borhoods, cities, and regions. By way of everyday people’s movements of migration and dislocation, physical and imaginative wandering, vernacular dances trace circuitous routes, emerge from multiple centers, and prolifer ate in re…
By the time a child is ready to leave primary school they should be able to swim, know how to get out of trouble if they fall into water, know the dangers of water and understand how to stay safe when playing in and around it. It is part of the national curriculum PE programme of study for England, so all local authority-maintained primary schools must provide swimming and water safety instruct…
The International Tennis Federation (ITF) is the governing body of the game of tennis and its duties and responsibilities include protecting the integrity of the game through determination of the Rules of Tennis. To assist the ITF in carrying out this responsibility, the ITF has appointed a Rules of Tennis Committee which continually monitors the game and its rules, and when considered necessar…

Paragliding does not only look easy and safe – it actually is. Thanks to the Papillon standards for safe paragliding, almost anyone can experience the great adventure of flying today. However, paragliding can quickly become an extreme sport; for example when out of ignorance or carelessness a too sophisticated glider is flown in meteorologically challenging conditions.This pilot handbook teac…
In this quotation, Sharon draws together two concepts key to understanding The Industry’s vision of “opera for everyone”: the operatic genre’s historical elitism, and the role performance space plays in mediating this generic exclu-sivity. Sharon’s words highlight another juxtaposition as well, that between the site-specific spectacles created by The Industry and the fourth-w…
Although the standard which you will be expected to reach will be the same in every school, the actual training programme and methods may vary. This is because they are determined by the craft (hang glider or paraglider), the type of launch method (hill or tow), the site, and the weather on the day. Once you have mastered controlling the glider on the ground (‘ground handling’) – which i…

Sudah sejak lama setiap bepergian ke luar negeri, saya selalu menikmati keindahan bangunan-bangunan peninggalan sejarah yang berfungsi modern. Entah itu sebagai restaurant/cafe, perkantoran, bank, museum, ataupun galeri seni. Pengalaman estetik itu lama kelamaan memunculkan suatu obsesi dan kerinduan akan memiliki sebuah bangunan kuno yang di dalamnya difungsikan sebagai galeri seni rupa di Sem…

When planning to build a new tennis court then the design and specification of the size and dimensions will be outlined which will change depending on budgets, cost restraints or physically the size restraints onsite. Some projects might only have the space for an 18m x 36m, so although it doesn’t meet the championship size it is more than the minimum recommended that is set out by the ITF. T…
This rectangle is divided in half by a net. On either side of and parallel to the net at a distance of 6.95 m are the service lines. The area between the net and the service lines is divided in half by a perpendicular line called the central service line. The central service line will extend 20 cm beyond the service line. When referring to surface and line layout, the two halves of the court mu…
When we undertook the task of reviewing the clubs identity and its brand values it was clear to us all that the lack of reference to Chelsea FC's heritage was evident. It was always important therefore that history played a big part in any development we decided to do. The result is a set of brand values and a new club badge that everyone involved with the club should be proud of. A Centenary m…

To undertake a scholarly project on the Wonderful World of Disney, in particular one focused on the historical, cultural and artistic significance of its celebrated cel-animated feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (David Hand, 1937), is an endeavour that often feels like jumping headlong ‘into burning coals’. Over eighty years after its ini…
Imagine studying a building not by walking its hallways or perusing its blueprints, but by examining each of its bricks: the pockmarks produced by air bubbles in the clay, the whorls of reds and browns, the trowel’s impressions in the mortar. Imagine evaluating a mosaic not for the bigger picture but for the glint of indi-vidual tesserae. Or imagine not watching a film but looki…
Every culture and society has read stories in the night sky. From the careful attention of astronomers across all times and all parts of the world to the search for alien life, the stories found in the shapes of constellations to the expansive imaginings of science fiction, there has always been life up there, at the very least, for our imaginations. Mythologies of Outer Space brings together a…
The city is the womb of our history and our civilisation. It is the largest work of art ever created by humanity. The city is «the supremely human achievement» (Lévi-Strauss, 1973: 124) and the driving force of the development of thought, progress and social accomplishments. Over time it has become the main place of production, exchange and the consump-tion of goods; …
This book is about f ilms and f ilmmakers committed to reality. For them, the world is not a mere construct or discourse, but made of people, animals, plants and objects that physically exist, thrive, suffer and die. They feel part of, and responsible for, this material world and want to change it for the better. ‘Realism’, this book argues, is what def ines these f ilms’ mode of producti…
For some time now, in newspapers and books, a series of words keep ap-pearing that begin with the pref ix “post-.” As for these new words, the key to understanding seems to be a semantics of ambiguity. Post does not indicate something absolutely different but something in-between: postcapital-ism would be a new phase of capitalism; postmodernism, a new f igure of modernism; and post-history…
igitalisation and virtual worlds are increasingly permeating the cultural sector and the creative industries. When it is difficult for cultural offerings to find their audience, they can or must actively reach out to their audience. This also applies to museums, which can find and retain audiences in different ways and with different formats. Even a virtual museum is fundamentally a museum. …
The shortage of affordable housing in cities is one of the most significant global challenges. It affects 1.6 billion people ( one- third of urban population) and is a key priority for policy change identified by the United Nations in the New Urban Agenda ( Tsenkova, 2016). Globally, cities and central governments have championed housing strategies and action plans, with a strong…
The research project “Performing Interspaces: Social Fluidities in Contemporary Theatre”, whose primary output is this monograph, began as an imperative to account for spaces that are awkward, evade attention, or, when they receive it, rarely do so because they produce feelings of desirability, warmth, or contentment. These spaces are sometimes …
On March 1, 2020, Greece closed its borders, denying refugees the right to seek political asylum, a reaction to Turkey’s decision to strategically refuse its role as gatekeeper to the European Union. A few weeks later, Italy, France, Belgium, and Spain closed their borders as the global COVID-19 pandemic spread. China had already closed its borders a few wee…
This book came about as a major dissemination output of the BlueHealth Project (https://bluehealth2020.eu), a large, integrated interdisciplinary research project carried out under the European Union Horizon 2020 Research Frame-work Programme between 2016 and 2020. The project took an international and innovative, interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approach to heal…
Thinking sound is an activity. Thinking with sound; thinking about sound; thinking through sound: these are all modalities of living with sound as a physical, vibrating reality. Because sound is matter in motion — resonating and reverberating — it resists conceptualization as an object or as a static concept. It cannot be held in a container but rather …
Struggles over naming our epoch of climate change – Anthropocene? Capitalocene? – are symptomatic of the growing recognition that ecology and economy can no longer be separated: that indeed, they have always been impli-cated in one another. For flm studies, this recognition necessitates adding to early ecocritical concerns with what flm does, a renewed inquiry into how …
In the 1890s, the eccentric American businessman Franklin Webster Smith proposed grand new ‘National Galleries of History and Art’ for Washington, DC. A rendering of his imagined project has the vertigo-inducing scale of the architectural proposal that was destined from its inception to remain unrealized (Figure 1.1). Imagine that you stand at the he…
The composer Sir James MacMillan has called music ‘the most spiritual of the arts’, and for many people, both religious and non-religious alike, this rings true.1 But what do people mean by ‘music’ and ‘spiritual’ in this context, and what is the nature of their perceived relationship? Do certain kinds of music more readily afford spiritual experiences than others? What …
Questions of time and concepts of temporality have increasingly been moving into the focus of current research. A broad timeframe is covered in the publication Temporalität in Kunst und Kunsttheorie seit 1800 [Temporality in Art and Art Theory since 1800], ed-ited by Thomas Kisser in 2011. It reflects and discusses the problem of time in images across epochs – by analysing the role of time i…
In Sacred Music in Secular Society, Jonathan Arnold highlights a strange phenomenon: ‘the seeming paradox that, in today’s so-called secular society, sacred choral music is as powerful, compelling and popular as it has ever been’.1 The explosion of new media through the internet and digital technology has created a new, broader audience for ‘the creative art of Renaissance polyphony …
