The Role Of The International Committee Of The Red Cross, Rotem Giladi, Steven Ratner Jan 2015

The Role Of The International Committee Of The Red Cross, Rotem Giladi, Steven Ratner

Book Chapters

In the absence of a serious implementation mechanism in the Geneva Conventions, much of the leading responsibility for promoting their observance falls upon the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the 150-year-old institution that is a sui generis hybrid between a Swiss non-governmental organization (NGO) and an international organization. With its secretariat in Geneva and delegations throughout the world, the ICRC is, in many conflicts, the most direct voice for the Conventions. The central role of the ICRC pre-dates the Conventions, for the ICRC has been the driving force behind the codification of international humanitarian law (IHL) since the …


For Your Viewing (Dis)Pleasure: Investigating Power, Bodies, And Objectification Through Performance-Based Video Art, Alice E. Johnson Jan 2015

For Your Viewing (Dis)Pleasure: Investigating Power, Bodies, And Objectification Through Performance-Based Video Art, Alice E. Johnson

Honors Program Theses

Using my relationship with my own body as a queer, gender non-conforming woman as a lens, the work discussed in this thesis investigates the role of objectification in the sociopolitical and cultural structures that forcibly position womenʼs bodies as sites of control under “white supremacist, capitalist [hetero]patriarchy.” Central to my work are the concepts of the male gaze, the sexual objectification of women, agency, and the pleasure of looking as discussed in feminist film theorist Laura Mulveyʼs classic essay, “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema.” By discussing my process of thinking/making—a circular process in which thinking generates making which generates thinking, …


The Process And Impact Of Professional Collaboration In An Arts Integration Education, Rachel Marina Chambers Jan 2015

The Process And Impact Of Professional Collaboration In An Arts Integration Education, Rachel Marina Chambers

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

In the fall of 20 14, I began student teaching at Wallace School of Integrated Arts in Kokomo, Indiana. Under the guidance of my cooperating teacher, Lashaya Williams, and our co-teacher, Abigail McClure, I was given the chance to educate fifth grade students and further develop my personal understanding of authentic arts integration (AAI), which is defined by the Kennedy Center as follows: "Arts Integration is an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. Students engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject area and meets evolving objectives …


What Is Gun Control? Direct Burdens, Incidental Burdens, And The Boundaries Of The Second Amendment, Joseph Blocher, Darrell A.H. Miller Jan 2015

What Is Gun Control? Direct Burdens, Incidental Burdens, And The Boundaries Of The Second Amendment, Joseph Blocher, Darrell A.H. Miller

University of Chicago Law Review

Particularly in places with few recognizable gun control laws, “gun neutral” civil and criminal rules are an important but often-unnoticed basis for the legal regulation of guns. The burdens that these rules impose on the keeping and bearing of arms are at times significant, but they are also incidental, which raises hard questions about the boundaries between constitutional law, regulation, and legally enforceable private ordering. Does the Second Amendment apply to civil suits for trespass, negligence, and nuisance? Does the Amendment cover gun-neutral laws of general applicability like assault and disturbing the peace? In the course of ad-dressing these practical …

‘The 39 Steps’ Of Stage Management: An Analysis Of The Evolution Of Professional Stage Managment Practices And Their Application At Otterbein University's Department Of Theatre 2011-Present, Grace K. Murrin Jan 2015

‘The 39 Steps’ Of Stage Management: An Analysis Of The Evolution Of Professional Stage Managment Practices And Their Application At Otterbein University's Department Of Theatre 2011-Present, Grace K. Murrin

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects

One of the most vital roles in the theatrical world is that of the stage manager. The stage manager’s job is to manage everything that happens on the stage. They create schedules, manage actors, keep track of props, set pieces, and costumes, record blocking, and call the show. The stage manager is the glue that holds the production together. They act as a facilitator, conductor, advisor, and leader. For my honors thesis project, I have explored stage management methods as they have developed and changed over time. I have applied four new-to-Otterbein methods of stage management through my stage management …


Singing And Participatory Spirituality, Paul D. Freinkel Jan 2015

Singing And Participatory Spirituality, Paul D. Freinkel

International Journal of Transpersonal Studies

The author describes and examines participatory knowing, participatory spirituality, and psycho-spiritual growth and transformation as experienced by a group of accomplished singers through their singing and the process of learning to sing. In so doing, his study brings rich contemporary research narrative as evidence of the key elements of the participatory revisioning of transpersonal theory. In this article the author reports parts of the results and conclusions of an intuitive inquiry that explored the peak experiences, plateau experiences, and consequent transpersonal growth of nine classically trained singers, including the researcher, and one advanced practitioner of sacred chant. All participants had …

Voice Types Of Opera Villains: Collaborative Study Of Vocal Tessituras Of Villains And Heroes In Opera, Michael Cantrell Jan 2015

Voice Types Of Opera Villains: Collaborative Study Of Vocal Tessituras Of Villains And Heroes In Opera, Michael Cantrell

Undergraduate Research Journal

A large bounty of characters can come from a single voice type. A coloratura soprano can be a villainess such as the Queen of the Night from Die Zauberflöte, or a damsel-in-distress like Gilda in Rigoletto. Although this disambiguation occurs between voice types, it rarely occurs within a single opera. In any entertainment setting, the relationship between protagonists and antagonists is the strongest piece of the story, and also the most polar. Contrasting themes of “light vs. dark” and “good vs. evil” accompany entire premises of the stories. In opera, these famous themes never fail in the storyline or in …


2015-16 Series Brochure - Reimagining Community, University Center For The Humanities Jan 2015

2015-16 Series Brochure - Reimagining Community, University Center For The Humanities

University Center for the Humanities Events

The theme for our speaker series in 2015-16 is Reimagining Community. In a global culture of war, social injustice and environmental calamity, and with our country’s stark racial turmoil and political divisions, reimagining the idea of community—what it means for us now and for our future on this planet—might be the most important first task for all of us as we attempt to address the issues of human healthcare, racial equity, gender roles, feeding the human population, and the idea of the human community. We are all in this planet’s developing story together, regardless of our ideologies, faiths, and perceptions. …

Expressive Arts As A Means Of Increasing Well-Being In Children, Danielle L. Barnes-Smith, Jordan Frotz, Hanasara Ito, Johannah Kohorst, Emily Vascimini

Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts

The purpose of this research is to discover the extent to which expressive arts increase well-being in children. Expressive arts are being defined here as theatre, dance, art, and creative writing. Well-being is defined as self-efficacy and self-worth. The project was carried out in a four-week expressive arts program designed to teach fifth grade elementary school students a variety of artistic disciplines (i.e. theatre, dance, art, and creative writing). Both before and after the workshop, the students completed measures of self-worth and self-efficacy; these measures were used to identify changes in students from the beginning of the program to the …

Adopting Subsequent Remuneration Right In Chinese Copyright Law, Xi Chen Jan 2015

Adopting Subsequent Remuneration Right In Chinese Copyright Law, Xi Chen

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

One heavily and contentiously argued clause in Chinese Copyright Law amendment drafts focuses on the practicality of granting authors of audiovisual works the legal right to collect subsequent remunerations (“SRR”) when their works are reused in subsequent exploitations. With the rapid increase of social media channels for the Chinese movie industry, and other entertainment industries relying on a heavy usage of audiovisual work, authors demand that they should be entitled to the profit earned from derivative markets and other media channels beyond the first intended market. In order to balance the conflicting interest between the author and the producer, and …


Progress On Antimicrobial Surgical Gloves: A Review, B. Arman Amani, Samira Bagheri, Sharifah Bee Abd Hamid Jan 2015

Progress On Antimicrobial Surgical Gloves: A Review, B. Arman Amani, Samira Bagheri, Sharifah Bee Abd Hamid

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)

Surgical gloves provide a protective blockade for patients and members of the surgical team. Glove integrity is critical in an era of blood-borne pathogens. Therefore, the need for improved means for prevention and also gloving and appropriate hand hygiene in a hospital setting is ostensible. This perspective highlights the progress on antimicrobial surgical gloves in deducting the microbial passage after a glove puncture in a model of wound contamination. Moreover, traditional methods to avoid microbes in the hospital and various antimicrobial agents, such as metal ions and antiseptic dyes, are reviewed.


Mobile Production: Spatialized Labor, Location Professionals, And The Expanding Geography Of Television Production, Myles Mcnutt Jan 2015

Mobile Production: Spatialized Labor, Location Professionals, And The Expanding Geography Of Television Production, Myles Mcnutt

Communication & Theatre Arts Faculty Publications

This article addresses the spatial challenges facing television laborers amid an increasingly expansive and contingent environment of local production incentives. Pushing away from the term runaway production and its limited engagement with local, spatialized dynamics of labor, I argue for a consideration of “mobile production,” wherein television series are capable of being executed in an increasingly wide range of locations—not necessarily Los Angeles—and capable of being moved should changes in an incentive system create the need to do so. Through personal interviews and analysis of industry discourse, this case study of location professionals considers how the mobility of production affects …

Journal of Letters

Ravanasura: Replay the Rashomon Effects and Revise Our Conflicts" is one of four sub-projects in the research project entitled Ramakien: Progress from the Roots which studies the process of drama/contemporary performing arts creation based on the Ramakien. The aim of the project is to examine the ways in which such creation can reflect ethical and moral issues in contemporary The major theoretical framework employed in the writing of Ravanasura is to employ the "Rashomon Effects", or a narration from different perspectives, in order to affirm and remedy self-identity and self-worth. In addition, the Buddhist precepts of the Papanca-dhamma, or mental …


Escaping Newcastle: Norah O'Hagan, Vaudeville, And The Limits Of Class And Gender In Edwardian Britain, Bernice I. Lindner Jan 2015

Escaping Newcastle: Norah O'Hagan, Vaudeville, And The Limits Of Class And Gender In Edwardian Britain, Bernice I. Lindner

Honors Capstones

This thesis examines the life and career of Norah O’Hagan, who left Newcastle, England in 1926, to join the circus. Norah was a coal miner’s daughter born into impoverished circumstances. Her future was severely limited by crippling economic and social conditions caused by her lower class origins, her diminutive size and her gender. Norah’s father’s personal and financial circumstances were dire as a result of the General Strike of 1926. He allowed Norah to join a vaudeville troupe - John Lester’s Midget Circus. Eventually, she joined an aerial act, the Flying Herzogs, touring Europe, the United States, and Mexico. Secondary …

At Face Value: Investigating Perception Through Photographs, Dominic Dipaolo Jan 2015

At Face Value: Investigating Perception Through Photographs, Dominic Dipaolo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

"At Face Value: Investigating Perception through Portraiture" is a body of work that examines how people process their perception in imagery. The Deadpan Aesthetic, photographic truth and American identity are discussed, as well as the amount of influence a photographer has in his work. Since perception is defined as an understanding of setting via the senses, I hope to challenge viewers by employing strategies to destabilize the viewer's reception of my photographs.
