Covid-19 And Advanced Course Enrollment: Kentucky High Schools, Jessica Thomas

MPA/MPP/MPFM Capstone Projects

In Kentucky governments, districts, and schools made decisions about school closures and mode of learning that would impact community health as well as student achievement. Within those schools, students themselves were also making decisions that could impact their futures academically. In spring 2020, students were choosing their courses for the following year. Vast uncertainty about what the 2020/2021 school year would look like had the potential to impact those decisions. Disruptions to spring 2020 classes could also impact whether a student felt they had learned the prerequisite skills needed to pursue advanced coursework. This study found that advanced course enrollment …

Un Hombre, Un Fuego Y Una Sombra. Una Aproximación Intermedial Al Teatro De La Imagen De Robert Lepage, Bértold Salas Murillo

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

El artículo estudia la utilización de las “tecnologías de la imagen” en el teatro de Robert Lepage y, específicamente, su incorporación del vídeo en diálogo con la acción escénica. Para ello, toma la perspectiva de la intermedialidad como hibridación de medios en escena, que es característica en las escenificaciones del director quebequense. Se aborda, así, el carácter técnico y estético de los modos de operación de la imagen mediada en algunos de los espectáculos de Lepage: Les sept branches de la rivière Ota (1994-1997), La face cachée de la lune (La cara oculta de la luna, 2000-2003), Lipsynch (2007), Les …

Welcome To The Real World. Dramaturgia Del Personaje Y Poética De Actuación En La Creación Intermedial De Susanne Kennedy, Juan José Fernández Villanueva

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

Este artículo analiza las características de la dramaturgia del personaje y su actuación de la directora de escena alemana Susanne Kennedy. La poética de esta creadora transita los territorios de la intermedialidad, con gran influencia de las artes plásticas, la estética de los videojuegos y las tecnologías aplicadas al teatro inmersivo. Partiendo de una contextualización de la trayectoria de Kennedy, se estudian las bases dramatúrgicas de su poética y son contrastadas
en uno de sus espectáculos referenciales: ¿Por qué enloquece el señor R? En él se da la consolidación plena de su poética escénica, donde se integra una poética

Los Audiovisuales En Su Función Coadyuvante O Vehicular: Una Aproximación, José Gabriel López Antuñano

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

A pesar de la plena integración en la escena de los audiovisuales al comienzo del siglo XXI, en sus dos primeras décadas hemos asistido a una evolución técnica y estética de los medios que argumenta un nuevo acercamiento a las vertientes del audiovisual en la escena teatral. En esta aproximación se distingue la función coadyuvante y la vehicular, según sean empleados por los creadores en diálogo con el resto de integrantes de la escenificación o bien su presencia se imponga sobre ellos, ensamblando materiales de variados orígenes. Dentro de cada una de ellas se diferencian varios modos de operación, que …

De La Remediación Al Desarrollo Transmedial En La Escena Contemporánea, Mario De La Torre Espinosa

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

Partiendo de la conceptualización de Henry Jenkins de lo transmedia como lógica narrativa, analizamos cómo se ha ido pasando en el mundo de la escena de la simple remediación al desarrollo de proyectos que han sido ideados desde sus inicios siguiendo estrategias transmediales, lo que sería en términos de Carlos Scolari un transmedia estratégico. Como muestra de estas ideas, se profundiza en los diversos modos de representación a partir de algunos ejemplos acaecidos en la escena en los últimos años, poniendo especial énfasis en España desde la declaración del cese de la actividad teatral por la situación derivada de la …

La Dimensión Escénica De La Música. Pensamiento Y Proceso Creativo De Simón Suárez De Arcos (1947-1996), Montserrat Muñoz Avila

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

El objetivo principal de este artículo es dar luz sobre la figura de Simón Suárez de Arcos, artista escénico español de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Fue un artista intuitivo, exquisito, visionario y, en cierto modo, un uomo universale renacentista del siglo XX, ya que estaba cualificado y trabajó como pintor, escenógrafo, figurinista, diseñador de luz, musicólogo, actor y director de escena. Para ello hemos elegido el periodo en el que trabajó en Madrid para teatro, danza y ópera, entre el otoño de 1983 y el invierno de 1995. Además de aportar datos biográficos y de contexto de este …

Deconstrucciones Del Hogar Hegemónico: La Familia Disfuncional En El Último Teatro Español, Ruth María Gutiérrez Álvarez

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

El teatro español contemporáneo presenta una creciente tendencia a situar la familia en el centro de la materia dramática desde muy diferentes posturas estéticas, desde la autoreferencialidad y la autofictión del yo, procedimientos característicos de los ejercicios performativos, a la precisión de las formas de hiperrealismo. El presente artículo propone un análisis de aquellas piezas teatrales que llevan a cabo un profundo proceso de deconstrucción y desmitificación de la familia nuclear hegemónica por medio del cual, por un lado, se presenta el hogar como una convención social, política, económica e ideológica que oprime al individuo y, por otro, se cuestiona …

Autorretratos: Autoimágenes De Directores, Guilherme Delgado

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

Resumen: Este artículo sugiere la utilización del concepto de autorretrato para reflexionar sobre los significados de la aparición del director, de cine o teatro, en escena. Apartándose de las tradicionales lecturas de la autoimagen como confesión biográfica y acercándose a la construcción simbólica que los artistas hacen de su medio y de su roles sociales, el ensayo hace un análisis de trabajos de José Celso Martinez Correa, Tadeusz Kantor, Alfred Hitchcock y Jafar Panahi.

Abstract: This article aims to use the concept of self-portrait to reflect about the appearance of the theater or cinema’s director in scene. Considering self-image as …

Choreographing The Line: Exploring The Art/Obscenity Paradox Of Feminine Sexuality Within The Context Of Recreational Pole Dance, Cameron Boucher-Khan

Scripps Senior Theses

This project seeks to explore the relationships between pole dance and pole fitness, art and obscenity and respectability as it relates to work, class, and social systems. It analyzes the way female sexuality is accepted or rejected within society and explores the boundaries between the two through the staging of pole and contemporary dance. The dichotomy between art and obscenity is explored in the relationship between stripper pole dance, and the fast-growing pole fitness community. Within this relationship, strippers are demonized as obscene, while pole fitness dancers' labor is viewed as artistic, despite the sexuality present in both. The difference …

Making The Invisible Visible: Mapping Chronic Pain Through Art, Caroline Young

Scripps Senior Theses

This Studio Art thesis explores how I use my art practice as a chronic pain healing process. It draws on the fundamentals of the neuroscience behind pain and the implications of this science for people with chronic pain. People with chronic pain often turn to alternative healing techniques in their search for relief; my own alternative healing approach comes from my art practice of “pain mapping."

The artistic healing process that I have developed takes inspiration from chronically ill artists such as Frida Kahlo and Anna Cowley Ford. The artistic mapping of my pain that I have developed primarily uses …

Audio Virology And Affect Contagion In The Times Of Preemptive Power And Sonic Futurism: The Sonic Warfare Of Fatima Al Qadiri, Aram Kavoossi

Media and Cultural Studies Honors Projects

This project examines the State’s use of sound technologies in particular to conjure affects facilitative of the maintenance and control of human bodies and political activities. In tension with this current, it will also study the subversion of sonic war machinery by cultural workers and musicians in the production of transnational political solidarities against the state militarization/securitization of life and preemption/commodification of death–a socio-economic paradigm fed by the (neo)colonial underbellies of capitalist modernity, from the Transatlantic Slave Trade to the colonization and military exploitation of the ‘Middle East’.

Tap Dance In Post-Secondary Dance Education: Why Is It Disappearing And How Can We Fix It, Natalie Riddick

Dance Department Best Student Papers

Tap dance is an artform that is rapidly declining in popularity in dance training, especially in post-secondary dance education. To answer the questions of how and why a quintessentially American artform has so faded in dance teachings, this paper analyzes the history of tap and its creation by marginalized individuals, the Eurocentric legacies that influence our definitions of 'technique' in dance training, and how tap dance is currently being taught today. Evidence for the conclusions of this paper include current discussions of tap among dancers and dance educators as well as a review of recent scholarship on the history of …

The Rite Of Becoming, Pilar Von Hummel

CGU Theses & Dissertations

The body is a term that has been vastly manipulated but never fully trapped. The body is in constant transformation and movement, always becoming. Catherine Malabou claims that our bodies are plastic, meaning they have the capacity to give and receive form as well as to explode. Plasticity which has an element of temporality is resistance, it is multiple and transformational. What are the conditions of possibility for the body to transform? Art resists and dance as art resists with the body: its main medium is the body. I claim that dance as art is a site to put plasticity …

The Carceral Death Machine: Savagery, Contamination And Sacrifice In The Contemporary Prison, Timothy Malone

CGU Theses & Dissertations

In this dissertation, I develop a convict epistemology that interweaves two elements: 1) a deep engagement with the works of particular philosophers and scholars investigating questions of punishment, violence, biopolitics and political philosophy 2) with some specific, publicly-reported incidents within California prisons in the late 20th and 21st centuries and my own detailed narration of events and the structural and quotidian dynamics of the prison yard as I experienced them as inmate #K73299 from 1997 to 2005. Diverging from Foucauldian theories of disciplinarity, I argue that under neoliberalism, the primary punishments that any inmate is subjected to within the carceral …

Perspectives Of Reading For Pleasure Pedagogy In Western Australian School Classrooms, Jessica Nailer

Theses

Australian children read for pleasure less and less as they move through primary school, with a noticeable decline emerging in the middle primary school years. Reading for Pleasure at School (RfPS) also appears to have become de-prioritised in primary schools, with greater emphasis in the broader literacy education dialogue placed on instructional reading pedagogy and standardised literacy testing. This research focused on the pedagogy that meaningfully supports RfPS in Years 3-6, within a framework of school culture, teacher practices and the physical environment. This investigation aimed to explore the perspectives of three key stakeholder groups from one Western Australian independent …
