Authors: Lazenby Mark

Expectations for Function and Independence by Childhood Brain Tumors Survivors and Their Mothers
Authors: Rabelais Em , Barakat Lamia P. , Jones Nora L. , Ulrich Connie M. , Deatrick Janet A.
Published: December 2014

Abstract: Survivors of childhood brain tumors face many obstacles to living independently as adults. Causes for lack of independence are multifactorial and generally are investigated in terms of physical, cognitive, and psychosocial treatment–related sequelae. Little is known, however, about the role of expectation for survivors’ function. From a mixed–methods study including qualitative interviews and quantitative measures from 40 caregiver–survivor dyads, we compared the data within and across dyads, identifying four distinct narrative profiles: (A) convergent expectations about an optimistic future, (B) convergent expectations about a less optimistic future, (C) non–convergent expectations about a less optimistic future, and (D) non–convergent expectations about an unclear future. Dyads both do well and/or struggle in systematically different manners in each profile. These profiles may inform the design of interventions to be tested in future research and help clinicians to assist families in defining, (re–)negotiating, and reaching their expectations of function and independence.

As an undergraduate at Oxford, Oscar Wilde uncritically accepted the prevailing stereotype that the Chinese were a conformist and inartistic race—a view he repeated in early works and interviews. His first encounters with Chinese people in San Francisco and with the writings of the philosopher Chuang Tzu [Zhuangzi], however, led him to revise his ideas about Chinese culture and argue for the vital aesthetic influence of Chinese immigrants on American culture. The juxtaposition of poverty and beauty Wilde discovered in San Francisco’s Chinatown also directly influenced the development of his social and political opinions.

Rebuilding Charles Dickens’s Wreck and Rethinking the Collaborative
Authors: Klimaszewski Melisa
Published: December 2014

Studying The Wreck of the Golden Mary in its entirety, this essay complicates hierarchical models of collaboration and showcases the powerful polyvocal potential of periodical forms such as the Christmas number. The Wreck , edited and compiled by Charles Dickens in 1856, includes the writing of five other authors. Restoring the links between The Wreck ’s parts not only recuperates the dialogic aspects of the original narrative but also highlights how a focus on individual authorship can hinder interpretive approaches to collaborative periodical writing.
Servants and the Victorian Sensation Novel
Authors: Peak Anna
Published: December 2014

Critics have long considered the Victorian sensation novel a difficult genre to define. The thread that connects these seemingly disparate works is class: the sensation novel may be defined as a genre that disrupts a middle-class perspective. The sensation novel forces readers to attend to multiple class perspectives; it aligns the act of reading and piecing together clues with the surveillance of a servant; and it revalues femininity while suggesting that what is perceived as gender is actually a function of class privilege.
George Eliot’s Screaming Statues, Laocoon , and the Pre-Raphaelites
Authors: Rainof Rebecca
Published: December 2014

This essay uncovers George Eliot’s parodic staging of G. E. Less-ing’s Laocoon in the tableau vivant in Daniel Deronda , showing how Lessing’s writing scaffolds crucial scenes of ekphrasis in the novel. Scholars argue that George Eliot aligns herself uncritically with Lessing, but this essay offers a new understanding of how she plays with his central binary of visual stasis and narrative movement to reveal Gwendolen Harleth’s gradual progress. On a larger level, it shows how George Eliot invokes Lessing’s distinctions to counter contemporary visual artists who aestheticized tragic female stasis, notably the Pre-Raphaelites and other artists such as Gustave Doré.
Afro-Haitian-American Ritual Power: Vodou in the Welles-FTP Voodoo Macbeth
Authors: Hilb Benjamin
Published: December 2014

The success of the FTP Harlem Negro Unit’s Voodoo Macbeth (1936), directed by Orson Welles, is well-known; but its cultural impact has yet fully to be grasped because its Afro-Haitian religious dimension has been neglected or misunderstood in criticism. A careful examination of surviving playscripts, reviews, interviews, and studies shows that the production’s rendition of the Afro-Haitian Vodou religion, led by renowned African dancer AsadataDafora Horton, aligns in several significant ways with authentic Vodou ritual practices. As the inspiring force of the Haitian Revolution, Vodou is rooted in resistance to racial injustice. In propounding the authentic Afro-Haitian religion, Voodoo Macbeth promoted this revolutionary spirit of resistance to racial injustice in 1930s Harlem, where impoverished conditions existed as a result of racism. The profound religious dimension of Voodoo Macbeth must therefore be recognized for a fuller understanding of the production, its transnational historical import, and its powerful social function. The essay finally proposes that Voodoo Macbeth be officially renamed Vodou Macbeth to acknowledge its authentic Afro-Haitian rituals, and recommends “authenticity” as an indispensable, democratic critical category.
Whose hand do we kiss?: Performing Democracy in a Portuguese A Midsummer Night ’s Dream
Authors: Rayner Francesca
Published: December 2014

This article explores connections between performance and democracy in a 2012 Portuguese performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream created by the collective Teatro Praga. An unselfconsciously spectacular one-off performance within the European Capital of Culture framework, the performance brought together theatre performers, singers, musicians and visual artists in a Midsummer Night’s Dream based on both the Shakespearean comedy and Purcell’s The Fairy Queen . The performance was notable for several performance practices that have become associated with the collective’s stated aim to promote greater democracy in performance, particularly in the areas of theatrical collaboration and participation. The article examines the claim that such performance practices inherently promote democracy by questioning the extent to which performers and spectators were empowered within a spectacle designed to please and delight. The article aims specifically to counter what it perceives to be a lack of situated analysis of particular performance practices resulting from the failure to link the contingency of performance practices with wider social forms.
Hotel Rooms and Bodily Fluids in Two Recent Productions of Measure for Measure , Or, Why Barnardine is Still Important
Authors: Griffiths Huw
Published: December 2014

The character of Barnardine ties together two of Measure for Measure’s concerns: substitution, or personation and the processes of the law. In two recent productions of the play, directed by Benedict Andrews (Belvoir Theatre, Sydney 2010) and Thomas Ostermeier (Schaubühne, Berlin 2011) particular “Barnardine effects” were at work that drew attention to the obdurate fleshiness of this character. The Sydney production contained a visceral performance, with Barnardine trashing the sleek hotel room set and smearing bodily fluids across the set’s multiple screens. In the other, the position of Barnardine, in some parts of the narrative, was taken up by half the carcass of a butchered pig. If, in the seventeenth century, Measure for Measure was an attempt to make sense of the relationship between the person and the law, then these contemporary productions revealed where those concerns continue to be under examination in the early twenty-first century: in the body itself and its relationship both to the spaces of “supermodernity” and to various kinds of abjection and torture.
Surpassing the King’s Two Bodies: The Politics Of Staging the Royal Effigy in Marlowe’s Edward II
Authors: Anderson Thomas P.
Published: December 2014

In the final scene of Marlowe’s Edward II , young Edward III, newly crowned after his father’s deposition, teases audiences with the possibility that one of English history’s most famous funeral ceremonies is about to be re-enacted on the stage. In 1327, Edward II’s funeral ceremony was the first in English history to feature an effigy of the dead king on the royal hearse. In this essay, I speculate on the staging of this royal hearse in Marlowe’s play and explore the political implications of what might have been an actor performing the effigy on the early modern stage. By animating the royal effigy with an actor’s body, Marlowe’s play recalls the medieval political theory of the king’s two bodies. I propose in this essay that the specter of the staged royal effigy—a prosthetic body that literalizes the persona ficta of the dead king—in Marlowe’s history play engages this theory by undermining the force of sovereign authority fundamental to the concept of the king’s two bodies, supplementing sovereign authority with a prosthesis that is at the same time a reminder of sovereignty’s denuded force; in exploring the paradox of sovereign excess with the king’s royal hearse in Marlowe’s play, this essay makes the case that Edward II offers an immanent challenge to royal absolutism from within the body of the dead king.
No Puppets Dallying: Green’s 1626 Production of Hamlet
Authors: Schlueter June
Published: December 2014

This paper examines the continental records in order to determine whether the English players’s 1626 performance of Hamlet in Dresden, Germany, was likely to have been presented as a puppet play. Along the way, it reconstructs the seventeenth-century continental stage history of Hamlet . The paper concludes that, while some of the plays in the repertory of the englischen Komödianten enjoyed an after-life as puppet plays, there is no known evidence that the Englishmen on the Continent themselves presented puppet plays. And, despite scholarly claims to the contrary, there are no sure records of seventeenth-century performances of Hamlet on the Continent other than Green’s.
In the Shadow of ARPANET and Internet: Louis Pouzin and the Cyclades Network in the 1970s
Authors: Russell Andrew L. , Schafer Valérie
Published: December 2014

During the 1970s, French engineer Louis Pouzin led a small team of researchers who designed an experimental packet-switching computer network they named “Cyclades.” Despite the technical successes of Cyclades—especially Pouzin’s “datagram” concept that was adopted by the American networking researchers Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn—the French authorities starved Cyclades by 1979 and split up Pouzin and his team. This article describes the opportunities that the Cyclades group pursued and the obstacles it encountered in its efforts to cooperate with peers in the United States, France, and Europe. Rather than squeezing Pouzin and Cyclades into a teleological narrative that seeks only to explain the rise of the Internet, the article suggests that its broader rubric of “networking history” allows historians to recover the political and human complexities of digital convergence—such as the bold words and disruptive work of Louis Pouzin.
How Astronomers Digitized the Sky
Authors: McCray W. Patrick
Published: December 2014

Starting in the 1960s, astronomers’ analog view of the universe gradually transformed as scientists and engineers introduced digital computers, electronic detectors, and magnetic recording media into observatory domes and laboratories. The advantages of this were considerable: once the underlying technical architecture and social practices were in place, digital data can be more easily analyzed, manipulated, transported, and communicated. As they replaced and supplemented older technologies, astronomers’ basic research practices changed accordingly. This helped reshape norms and behaviors in the research community, altering astronomy’s moral economy. The importance of collecting, processing, and sharing digital data transcended specific institutions, individual research questions, and national boundaries. This article explores this process, using representative examples and the metaphor of data friction, focusing on both the development of hardware and data standards. For astronomers, the transition from analog to digital was, in both senses of the phrase, a universal concern.
Translating Time: Habits of Western-Style Timekeeping in Late Edo Japan
Authors: Frumer Yulia
Published: December 2014

The act of glancing at a clock to learn the time might seem quick and effortless. Yet for the early-nineteenth-century Japanese, there was nothing obvious about how to read the dial of a European clock. This article explores the ways that Japanese users learned to decipher a technological interface that not only looked significantly different from the ones with which they were familiar, but often contradicted their conventional common sense. The way late-Edo-period (1600–1868) Japanese accessed elements of a foreign technology was through their existing habits of timekeeping—habits of measuring, calculating, and depicting time, as well as handling and looking at timepieces. Understanding how existing practical, material, and visual habits enabled interpretation of foreign technology offers insight into the process of knowledge and technology transfer, which happened prior to the social and structural changes associated with Meiji-period (1868–1912) Westernization.
The Neural Representation of Interaural Time Differences in Gerbils Is Transformed from Midbrain to Cortex
Authors: Belliveau Lucile A.C. , Lyamzin Dmitry R. , Lesica Nicholas A.
Published: December 2014

Interaural time differences (ITDs) are the dominant cue for the localization of low-frequency sounds. While much is known about the processing of ITDs in the auditory brainstem and midbrain, there have been relatively few studies of ITD processing in auditory cortex. In this study, we compared the neural representation of ITDs in the inferior colliculus (IC) and primary auditory cortex (A1) of gerbils. Our IC results were largely consistent with previous studies, with most cells responding maximally to ITDs that correspond to the contralateral edge of the physiological range. In A1, however, we found that preferred ITDs were distributed evenly throughout the physiological range without any contralateral bias. This difference in the distribution of preferred ITDs in IC and A1 had a major impact on the coding of ITDs at the population level: while a labeled-line decoder that considered the tuning of individual cells performed well on both IC and A1 responses, a two-channel decoder based on the overall activity in each hemisphere performed poorly on A1 responses relative to either labeled-line decoding of A1 responses or two-channel decoding of IC responses. These results suggest that the neural representation of ITDs in gerbils is transformed from IC to A1 and have important implications for how spatial location may be combined with other acoustic features for the analysis of complex auditory scenes.
