Creating Verbatim Theatre from Oral Histories

Creating Verbatim Theatre from Oral Histories

Offering a roadmap for practicing verbatim theatre (plays created from oral histories) this book outlines theatre processes through the lens of oral history and draws upon oral history scholarship to bring best practices from that discipline to theatre practitioners. This book opens with an overview of oral history and verbatim theatre considering the ways in which existing oral history debates can inform verbatim theatre processes and highlights necessary ethical considerations within each field which are especially prevalent when working with narrators from marginalised communities. It provides a step-by-step guide to creating plays from interviews and contains practical guidance for determining the scope of a theatre project: identifying narrators and conducting interviews developing a script from excerpts of interview transcripts and outlining a variety of ways to create verbatim theatre productions. By bringing together this explicit discussion of oral history in relationship to theatre based on personal testimonies the reader gains insight into each field and the close relationship between the two. Supported by international case studies that cover a wide range of working methods and productions including The Laramie Project and Parramatta Girls this is the perfect guide for oral historians producing dramatic representations of the material they have sourced through interviews and for writers creating professional theatre productions community projects or student plays. | Creating Verbatim Theatre from Oral Histories

Conflicting Objectives in Democracy Promotion Do All Good Things Go Together?

Conflicting Objectives in Democracy Promotion Do All Good Things Go Together?

The agenda of external actors often includes a number of objectives that do not necessarily and automatically go together. Fostering security and stability in semi-authoritarian regimes collides with policies aimed at the support of processes of democratization prone to conflict and destabilization. Meanwhile the promotion of national self-determination and political empowerment might lead to forms of democracy partially incompatible with liberal understandings. These conflicting objectives are often problematized as challenges to the effectiveness of international democracy promotion. This book presents systematic research about their emergence and effects. The contributing authors investigate (post-) conflict societies developing countries and authoritarian regimes in Southeast Europe Latin America Africa and Asia. They identify the socio-economic and political conditions in the recipient country the interaction between international and local actors and the capacity of international and local actors as relevant for explaining the emergence of conflicting objectives. And they empirically show that faced with conflicting objectives donors either use a ‘wait and see’-approach (i. e. not to act to overcome such conflicts) they prioritize security state-building and development over democracy or they compromise democracy promotion with other goals. However convincing strategies for dealing with such conflicts still need to be devised. This book was published as a special issue of Democratization. | Conflicting Objectives in Democracy Promotion Do All Good Things Go Together?

On the Commodity Trail The Journey of a Bargain Store Product from East to West

On the Commodity Trail The Journey of a Bargain Store Product from East to West

Following the journey of eight bargain store objects Alison Hulme reveals the complex story behind society’s simplest and cheapest commodities. Inspired by Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project On the Commodity Trail explores the colourful and fascinating histories of everyday objects. Along the way we observe raw materials on municipal rubbish dumps in China newly re-made products in the world’s largest wholesale market and take a journey across the seas to bargain stores in Europe and North America arriving finally in the homes of consumers. Weaving together narratives from the people we meet at different parts of the commodity chain – waste peddlers wholesalers store owners and shoppers – the book examines the places and people at the heart of these localized yet immense global networks. Unlike other investigations of commodity chains this study does not chart a straightforward trajectory from production to consumption. Instead it demonstrates that the low-end commodity chain is one of constant rupture in which products are made and re-made blurring the dividing line between producing and consuming. An ethnography of material culture as well as an examination of commodity culture at a time of economic downturn this deeply-engrossing book makes a unique contribution to our understanding of commodity chains and consumer culture. | On the Commodity Trail The Journey of a Bargain Store Product from East to West

Day Services for Adults Somewhere to Go

Day Services for Adults Somewhere to Go

Originally published in 1981 this book describes day services for adults a relatively recent development in health and social services at the time. Most people assume immediately that day care is only provided for young children: Day Services for Adults will make it clear that a growing number of services exist by day for adults and in a diversity and variety which have enormous potential both for those who use them and for those who work in them. Day Services for Adults reports the results of a five-year national survey. The broad terms of reference of the research were to review the present provision of day centres for adults. To consider the policy questions of staffing and accommodation and to suggest which groups in the community might benefit most from day centres and to advise on how these centres might contribute to the integration and development of local services for those in need. The result was the first comprehensive investigation of day services in the world. Jan Carter analyses services for the elderly the mentally handicapped the mentally ill the physically handicapped offenders drug addicts and those in family care centres sponsored by health social services probation and voluntary agencies. By a full coverage of all these groups and their sponsors unique comparisons between services for the various groups can be made. Day Services for Adults was intended for those who made decisions about day units and particularly for local authority policy-makers and executive civil servants in local authority health authorities and central government. It was also addressed to those senior professionals practising inside and outside day services: psychiatrists geriatricians those practising rehabilitation medicine senior nursing officers psychologists senior social workers and social work administrators. | Day Services for Adults Somewhere to Go

A Machine That Would Go of Itself The Constitution in American Culture

A Machine That Would Go of Itself The Constitution in American Culture

In this volume Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Michael Kammen explores the U. S. Constitution's place in the public consciousness and its role as a symbol in American life from ratification in 1788 to our own time. As he examines what the Constitution has meant to the American people (perceptions and misperceptions uses and abuses knowledge and ignorance) Kammen shows that although there are recurrent declarations of reverence most of us neither know nor fully understand our Constitution. How did this gap between ideal and reality come about? To explain it Kammen examines the complex and contradictory feelings about the Constitution that emerged during its preparation and that have been with us ever since. He begins with our confusion as to the kind of Union we created especially with regard to how much sovereignty the states actually surrendered to the central government. This confusion is the source of the constitutional crisis that led to the Civil War and its aftermath. Kammen also describes and analyzes changing perceptions of the differences and similarities between the British and American constitutions; turn-of-the-century debates about states' rights versus national authority; and disagreements about how easy or difficult it ought to be to amend the Constitution. Moving into the twentieth century he notes the development of a cult of the Constitution following World War I and the conflict over policy issues that persisted despite a shared commitment to the Constitution. | A Machine That Would Go of Itself The Constitution in American Culture

Folk Women and Indirection in Morrison N Dhuibhne Hurston and Lavin

Folk Women and Indirection in Morrison N Dhuibhne Hurston and Lavin

Focusing on the lineage of pivotal African American and Irish women writers the author argues that these authors often employ strategies of indirection via folkloric expression when exploring unpopular topics. This strategy holds the attention of readers who would otherwise reject the subject matter. The author traces the line of descent from Mary Lavin to Éilís Ní Dhuibhne and from Zora Neale Hurston to Toni Morrison showing how obstacles to free expression though varying from those Lavin and Hurston faced are still encountered by Morrison and Ní Dhuibhne. The basis for comparing these authors lies in the strategies of indirection they use as influenced by folklore. The folkloric characters these authors depict-wild denizens of the Otherworld and wise women of various traditions-help their creators insert controversy into fiction in ways that charm rather than alienate readers. Forms of rhetorical indirection that appear in the context of folklore such as signifying practices masking sly civility and the grotesque or bizarre come out of the mouths and actions of these writers' magical and magisterial characters. Old traditions can offer new ways of discussing issues such as sexual expression religious beliefs or issues of reproduction. As differences between times and cultures affect what can and cannot be said folkloric indirection may open up a vista to discourses of which we as readers may not even be aware. Finally the folk women of Morrison Ní Dhuibhne Hurston and Lavin open up new points of entry to the discussion of fiction rhetoric censorship and folklore. | Folk Women and Indirection in Morrison N Dhuibhne Hurston and Lavin
