Repetitions and Variations: The Embodied Cultural Memory of Ballet
Authors: Murray Melonie B.
Published: January 2021

The corporeal practice of ballet training, comprised of visual and aural input along with kinesthetic awareness and sensation, serves to transmit and reify a specific form of embodied knowledge. Passed from generation to generation and body to body, from at least mid-19th century Europe to its current global representations, systems of ballet training and modes of ballet performance have moved through history and geography continually enacting and reenacting a legacy of repertoire rife with collective/cultural memory and meaning. Ballet training methodologies and choreography have evolved significantly, yet well-established vocabulary, syllabi, curricula, and repertoire continue. Given the continually evolving yet perennial nature of ballet, theories from the field of performance studies provide an interesting lens through which we might examine classical ballet and its repertoire. This article contributes to the existing academic literature by framing ballet as a living culture – an ever-evolving, self-perpetuating, way of life - rather than as a purely historical or aesthetic topic. By engaging with performance studies theorists to explore notions of culture, tradition, ritual, orature, and repertoire, this article encourages further investigation of ballet through a variety of lenses.

The application of mixed corrosion inhibitor (CI), which is an equimolar composition of oleoyl sarcosinate (SOS) and sodium flufenamate (SFF), for protection of D16 aluminum alloy from atmospheric corrosion has been studied. The polarization measurements used to assess the effectiveness of preliminary passivation of the alloy with solutions of SOS, SFF and their composition showed significant advantages of mixed CI. The XPS method was used to study features of CI adsorption on the surface of D16 alloy. It has been established that upon adsorption of SOS and SFF separately a monolayer is formed, firmly bonded to the alloy surface, thickness of which is not exceeding 2.6—3.2 nm. After the joint adsorption of these CI, the layer thickness reaches 12—20 nm. The composition of this layer includes a considerable amount of Al3+ ions (~20%) related to their compounds with SFF and SOS, as well as to aluminum hydroxides. A possible mechanism for the formation of such a protective layer is proposed. The results of corrosion tests in a humid atmosphere with daily water condensation on samples of D16 alloy confirmed the high protective ability of the mixed CI film.

Published: January 2021

Taking 31 provinces as the research object, this paper constructed the input-output efficiency evaluation index system of public sports service in China. The paper evaluated the input-output efficiency level and spatial-temporal pattern of public sports services using the methods of data envelopment analysis and exploratory spatial data analysis. The results show that: (1) The average comprehensive super-efficiency value of public sports service in 2016 was higher than that in 2008, and the provinces with the comprehensive super-efficiency value greater than 1 increased, but the difference between provinces in 2016 was more obvious. (2) Compared with 2008, the efficiency distribution of public sports service in 2016 is more balanced among the three regions, the difference between the eastern region and the central region is reduced. (3) The efficiency of public sports service has different spatial correlation in the geographical spatial distribution, and this correlation shows the reverse in the two measurements.

Dalam bidang pendidikan juga tidak terlepas pengaruhnya dengan teknologi. Apalagi, dalam dunia pendidikan sekarang ini penguasaan teknologi menjadi sangat penting untuk menyesuaikan dengan zaman dan teknologi yang terus berkembang.Kemudahan dan efektifitas yang didukung oleh teknologi tentunya membawa dampak yang positif dan kenyamanan dalam mengakses hal-hal yang tidak hanya berhubungan dengan sesuatu yang sifatnya untuk bersenang-senang, tetapi juga dapat menjadi wadah untuk media pembelajaran. Dengan memanfaatkan teknologi, pembelajaran dapat didesain semenarik mungkin dan tentunya akan meningkatkan performa dalam pembelajaran. Sejarah sebagai mata pelajaran yang wajib dipelajari di Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) tentunya memegang peranan penting dalam pengetahuan siswa mengenai negerinya sendiri serta menumbuhkan sikap nasionalisme. Namun, terkadang pembelajaran sejarah dianggap membosankan. Dengan adanya dukungan teknologi sebagai media pembelajaran sejarah, bukan tidak mungkin dengan hadirnya teknologi dapat merubah stigma tersebut.

Gender Differentials in Climate Change Perception in the Kaligandaki Basin, Nepal
Authors: Pandey Rishikesh
Published: January 2021

Men and women variably perceive climate change, as the literature suggests that women perceive a higher level of changes compared to men. This study investigated differentials in climate change perception among Nepal's men and women, using a river basin level primary data. Data were collected from 360 household heads of three spatial clusters – Meghauli (153), Lumle (141), and Upper-Mustang (66), located at different ecological zones of the Kaligandaki Basin. Out of the total respondents, 106 were women. Perceptions on 11 weather-related elements were asked to the respondents to level the perceived change in the unipolar Likert Scale. Such information was supplemented through 75 Key Informants (KIs), 24 Focused Group Discussions (FGDs), and Historical Timeline Calendars from nine locations. Findings suggest that differences in climate change perception exist between women and men, and women in particular generally felt a higher level of change. However, the findings are not strongly supported by both statistical tests i.e. test of mean differences (the independent sample t-test) between the responses of men and women, and the test of association (chi-square) between the gender of respondents and the type of responses they have chosen. The findings indicate that both men and women perceive the change if it was easily noticeable. Therefore, a critical understanding of the association of other socio-economic and ecological factors on the construction of perception to climate change would be necessary to form a successful climate change adaptation policy. Furthermore, since the findings are based on an exploratory and cross-sectional study, further investigation with rigorous approaches is required to draw more concrete conclusions.
Trust in Ethnography: Narrating the Difficulties, Rewards and Dilemmas of Entry, Engagement and Exit (3Es) in the Research Field
Authors: Hamal Sanjay
Published: January 2021

Field engagement of the researchers in ethnographic research determines the quality and the rigor of academic work. The engagement of the researcher in the field to elicit information, however, is a result of confidence and/or faith, named trust, that the researcher develops with his/her participants during the research process. Trust-building is a basic but fundamental research phenomenon that a researcher goes through in his/her fieldwork. But how to establish trust with research participants? This article is a reflection based on the product of my fieldwork and narrates my experience of the trust-building process that I had undergone in my research field. Though hailing from the same area, I had entered my ethnographic space like a university researcher rather than my native identity for different reasons. Thus in this paper, I narrate my field experiences of difficulty, reward, and the dilemma of my field journey i.e., difficulty in establishing trust while entering the research field; rewards with my shifting identity (revelation of my native identity) while engaging in the field; and my dilemma in protecting my participants' trust and their voices while exiting from the field. Out of many perspectives and approaches to conceptualize and establish trust, I take one put forth by Williamson (1993), who says trust builds mainly on repeated positive experiences, formally or informally, made over time and longstanding relations, and is built on the initial knowledge about the other.
Teachers’ Awareness Toward Students’ Psychosocial Wellbeing
Authors: Pokharel Samidha Dhungel , Adhikari Ranju
Published: January 2021

Ten to twenty percent of adolescents in the world experience mental health or behavioral problems. Emotional, psychological and social welbeing are the three components of mental health. Awareness on psychosocial wellbeing is an integral part of early identification of mental health issues. This paper describes teachers’ awareness toward psychosocial wellbeing of schoolchildren. Fifty teachers from three schools in Kathmandu metropolitan city were chosen purposively for information collection. Based on exploratory and descriptive research design, both quantitative and qualitative data were collected through self reported technique. Manual for the Youth Self Report and 1991 Profile by Achenbach (1991) on the basis of most commonly reported school children’s behavioral problems in literatures. The findings suggest that school children are going through behavioral issues and a majority of school teachers are aware of this. The findings also suggest that abundant numbers of teachers in schools are unaware of certain mental health issues and never pay attention to those areas. Moreover, teachers with trainings have higher tendency of awareness regarding psychosocial wellbeing of school children. This paper emphasizes need for a training on mental health to improve the current mental health issues in schools.
Citizens’ Reflection on Democracy and Disaster in Nepal in the Wake of the 2015 Earthquake
Authors: Sharma Isha
Published: January 2021

On April 25, 2015, Nepal was hit by a massive earthquake. Thousands of lives were lost. Extensive damage to infrastructure and property was reported. Using 30 interviews, I firstly examine how the people survived in the early days of the disaster. Secondly, I discuss how the citizens of Nepal, perceived democracy as a political system that is still novel for them, in the aftermath of the crisis. The interviewees reflected on the government’s response to the earthquake. Evidently, the study highlights the disjuncture between the kinds of relief a democratic state is expected to provide for the citizens and the state’s actual response to the needs of the earthquake survivors. Nepal has adopted democracy since 1990, however, it has failed to deliver on its promises, and people are thus ambivalent about the system. However, in the final analysis, it becomes apparent that people are unwilling to revert back to the old autocratic system. The conclusions of the study compel one to consider certain social processes. What affects citizens’ expectations of their government in the aftermath of a major disaster is contingent upon how states have acted in normal times. The state’s response to disasters might be influenced by what citizens expect from the state in the first place, thus, leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy. Finally, a democratic society is preferred by most, and the only way for the government to be more robust is to compel the leaders to adhere to the laws and regulations and operate according: those who break the laws must be made accountable.
Changing Nature of Power and Leadership: How do They Matter in Rural Nepal?
Authors: Sapkota Mahendra
Published: January 2021

Globally, power and leadership are considered as two unavoidable factors of social change and local development. In Nepal’s federal context, the nexus of power and leadership has been less addressed in academic research though most of the studies are focused on local governance. The present study attempts to analyze the nature of leadership and its power structure in the context of rural Nepal. It follows a critical ontological position of the development of power and leadership. Methodologically, a complete leadership of Dogana village in Suddhodhan Rural Municipality of Rupandehi district (Lumbini Province) was undertaken to assess the rural leadership. It is found that the most important factor for holding the rural leadership was ‘affiliation with the political party’, which was followed by ‘well-being ranking’ and ‘caste/ ethnic status’ of the leadership. The rural leaders used to change their policies and strategies to create and sustain power, such as doing multiple professions and building networks other than politics. The paper, therefore, concludes that a significant change occurred in leadership pattern and power structure of rural Nepal from informal to formal, and less inclusive to more inclusive and representative. Despite this, the changes are still elite-centric, politically vested, and economically favorable either to the upper-class people or middle-class mediators (bichauliyas). The study predicts that the contestations in leadership and power-sharing could be more critical in the days to come with the implementation of federalism in the rural context. The implication of this study largely relies on the context of local power structure and village politics in Nepal.
Höfer, A. (2004). The caste hierarchy and the state in Nepal (2nd ed.). Himal Books.
Authors: Pokharel Prabhas
Published: January 2021

In this article, I have analyzed András Höfer’s ‘The caste hierarchy and the state in Nepal’ through a post-modernist lens. The book is a study of the Muluki Ain (MA) of 1854. Through this review, I analyze the book as well as the MA and its relevance in the modern society. Rather than summarizing Höfer’s ideas, I intended to bring out the nuances and analyses which can aid in the understanding of caste from the perspective of doxa and habitus. Despite the government’s efforts to eradicate caste based discrimination through various laws and by-laws, the rules in MA of 1854 are still embedded in the minds of people. Through the perspective of power, habitus and doxa, I attempt to explain how the caste based discrimination still creeps into the modern Nepal as a quotidian affair. In this article, I also critique some of the conundrums that exists in the book as well as the MA.

Foreword
Authors: Gilbert Reid
Published: January 2021

As we all know, the idea of theatre is undergoing significant revision: ideas of cultural performance, gender construction, ethnic, personal and national expression, postcolonial performance, and performativity (both cultural and linguistic) are joining more traditional definitions of the play text as sites of analysis. Just as historiography urges a contextual reading of the important documents of Canada's stage, poststructural criticisms urge study of theatrical performance in a plurality of contexts and from various (often previously ignored) perspectives. Studies of a particular play can approach the source material from many vantages, each imbricating the other to create a lattice of analysis which more fully reveals the play's meanings. And, by showing a variety of ways of seeing, such studies also deny the transcendence of any one means of investigation; indeed, they demonstrate that all readings are provisional and contingent upon the subject-position of the spectator.
The Jupiter Theatre's Canadian Content and the Critics, 1951-1954
Authors: Partington Richard
Published: January 2021

The Jupiter Theatre (1951-54) was founded by actors Lorne Greene and John Drainie, and writer Len Peterson, who sought to establish a fully professional company in Toronto dedicated to the encouragement of Canadian playwrights, and the "emergence of a truly Canadian voice in the theatre." Their ideals were shared by the nationalist local radio critic Nathan Cohen. Of the fifteen plays produced during Jupiter's brief but significant lifetime four were Canadian-written: Socrates and The Blood Is Strong by Lister Sinclair, The Money Makers by Ted Allan and Blue Is for Mourning by Nathan Cohen. I will attempt to assess Jupiter's contribution to the development of that "Canadian voice" by looking at the plays themselves, their authors and, as far as can be deduced, their theatrical presentation by Jupiter. I shall measure my own response to the plays as texts against the responses of the contemporary Toronto critics, principally Herbert Whittaker of the Globe and Mail and Nathan Cohen on CJBC Views the Shows, a perusal of whose reviews formed the bulk of my investigation. Conversations with Jupiter alumni have helped to place these responses in a meaningful historic context. I shall also consider the subsequent contributions, if any, of the three playwrights to the Canadian theatre.

Editors Lisa Doolittle of the University of Lethbridge and Anne Flynn of the University of Calgary have assembled a strong collection of essays with a diverse range of interests and analytical approaches. How movement intersects with issues of gender representation, ethnicity, post-colonialism, consumerism, historiography, and theory are all examined. The resulting volume boldly challenges readers to think beyond the traditional boundaries of scholarly disciplines and definitions to show how dancing bodies have evinced cultural ideology and practices throughout history.
Glenda Stirling, ed. The NeXtFest Anthology: Plays from the Syncrude Next Generation Arts Festival
Authors: Perkins Don
Published: January 2021

Number 20 in NeWest Press's Prairie Play series, The NeXtFest Anthology, extends a useful tradition of anthologizing smaller works by established and new playwrights to introduce and draw attention to voices that might otherwise go unrecognized. This tradition began with the third entry in the series, Prairie Performance (1980). In the Foreword, General Editor and series founder Diane Bessai wrote of the need to show the "variety of plays shaped by Western regional experience," and her valuable concluding essay, "Prairie Playwrights and the Theatre," provides a pocket history of Western theatre activity over the previous fifty years. Prairie Performance gathers eight plays that span some 42 years and pays homage to careers seemingly past and to voices emerging into a new, more receptive theatre climate: Elsie Park Gowan, Frank Moher, Gwen Pharis Ringwood, Joanna M. Glass, Ken Mitchell, W. O. Mitchell, Gordon Pengilly, and Wilfred Watson. That Western regional play writing was anything but homogeneous at the time (or even "flat," as critics of Western or prairie writing in general are so fond of suggesting) is made clear in dramatic styles ranging from romantic folk-play and naturalism to McLuhanesque poetic abstractions that bridge medieval morality with contemporary shopping centre culture.

The Canada Council and the Theatre: The Past Twenty-Five Years and Tomorrow
Authors: Kilbourn William , Roberts Jean , Gardner David , Peacock David , Des Landes Claude , Learning Walter
Published: January 2021

To mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Canada Council, and its years of assistance to Canadian theatre and scholarship, the Association for Canadian Theatre History/l'Association d'histoire du théâtre au Canada at its annual conference, 2 June 1982, brought together the Council's Theatre Officers from the past years to take part in a panel discussion on the role they played in the Council's aid to theatre. The panelists included Jean Roberts, who served as Theatre Officer from 1967 to 1970, David Gardner (1971-2), David Peacock (1972- 78), Claude Des Landes (1978-81, French section), and Walter Learning (1978-82, English section). The panel was chaired by William Kilbourn. Ann (Coffin) Young, who was with the Council when the Theatre Section was established, was unable to be present, but sent a letter which is quoted in the transcription. Each person was asked to speak about the role of the Theatre Section during the individual's term of office; then, the topic was opened to questions and discussion from the floor. As the transcription indicates, the panelists were candid in commenting on their own tenure, and equally so in answering questions from the floor. With assistance from the Council, and through arrangements set up by David Gardner and carried out by John Burgess of the Council's Public Relations Office, the Editors of the journal are able to publish a transcription of the proceedings.
Sharon Pollock's Plays: A Review Article
Authors: Nunn Robert C.
Published: January 2021

Sharon Pollock has been writing for the stage, radio and television for more than ten years. Although her television and radio plays are not readily accessible, a survey of those of her stage plays which are available (and two of her radio plays) reveals a dramatist who has given her central theme, the effect of social issues and public myths on individual lives, a progressively richer treatment. In particular individual identity, taken for granted in her first plays, becomes in Blood Relations a mystery, explored and reassessed with troubling impact.

Temperance and the Theatre in the Nineteenth Century Maritimes
Authors: Blagrave Mark
Published: January 2021

The Temperance Movement in the nineteenth century Maritime provinces encouraged both playwrights and actors to develop their talents by means of Temperance Soirées and Temperance-sponsored theatrical societies. The texts of two extant soirées from Halifax in the 1850s - John Sparrow Thompson's Cadets of Temperance: Entertainment for the Christmas Holidays and the anonymous Harvest Queen's Coronation - are examined, as are some of the amateur efforts of temperance-sponsored playwright John Louis Carleton of Saint John.
Major John Richardson's 'The Miser Outwitted' Discovered
Authors: Beasley David
Published: January 2021

The Miser Outwitted by Major John Richardson was advertised for sale in Upper Canadian newspapers in 1841 but no copy has been found. David Beasley, who wrote Richardson's biography, describes how he discovered the anonymous playscript in the Manuscripts Room of the British Library and determined by the handwriting that Richardson was the author. He surmises how it came to be produced at the Queens Theatre, Dublin on 10 May 1848. The play, a one-act farce, is a good example of the entertainment enjoyed by our colonial ancestors in the last century. The theme of a Miser tricked into losing his Money is of perennial interest and enjoys a long tradition in the theatre.
