‘A Rainbow in Ev’ry Pot’: Southern excess, racial liberalism, and living large in Harburg and Lane’s Finian’s Rainbow
Authors: Bringardner Chase 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
When Yip Harburg and Burton Lane wrote their 1947 musical Finian’s Rainbow, they imagined the piece as a vehicle for a host of social justice concerns. Specifically, Harburg created the fictional place of Missitucky and its inhabitants to directly comment upon race and labour conditions in the American South. Yet despite his good intentions, Harburg’s efforts resulted in a musical full of more ambiguity and anxiety than resolution or happy endings. This article focuses on the character of Senator Bill ‘Billboard’ Rawkins to examine how Harburg’s attempts to use the musical as a platform for social justice resulted in the creation of a larger-than-life character full of contradictions. Through the lens of racial liberalism and critical race theory, this article considers Finian’s Rainbow as an important text that expresses the tensions present in Golden Age-era attempts to harness the performative power of the musical towards social justice ends.
‘There’s gotta be something better than this’: Challenging the role of big emotion in the transition from speech to song
Authors: Gow Sherrill 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
In musical theatre, the idea that a character sings because speech cannot capture the heightened emotion of a particular moment or situation is broadly accepted. As a director working regularly in training contexts, I see a fundamental problem with describing song as an expression of large emotions: it encourages students to play a generalized emotional state. I propose that emotion in musical theatre is complex, functioning differently whether dramaturgical, musicological or performative. I draw on scholarly critique of the form, practical approaches from guides to training, and reflect on practice-led research undertaken while directing postgraduate students at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in an abridged, in-house production of Sweet Charity (1966). Rather than adhering to the perception that singing in musical theatre is the outcome of big emotions, we found that focusing on the size of what’s at stake is a useful strategy for students. I suggest that if or when there is an emotional response to music, locating this response as an obstacle can provide something to actively play against and offer an alternative scale of ‘largeness’. Ultimately, however, I question the usefulness of approaching the transition from speech to song – in terms of scale, and advocate challenging such generalizations in musical theatre.

‘What’s bigger than a standing ovation?’: Intimacy and spectacle at the Tony Awards
Authors: Sedgman Kirsty 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
In 1963, J. S. Siegels described two opposing methods by which artists could affect their audiences. The first was an aesthetic of grandeur: ‘a principle of force, based on the sheer size and power of the impression’. The second was an aesthetic of intimacy, ‘a principle of attraction: it demands a closeness of association between subject and audience, and necessitates identification and involvement’. Almost half a century later there remains a lingering understanding that intimacy and spectacle are irreconcilable. While small performances are increasingly praised for their ability to offer audiences ‘authentically’ intimate encounters with ‘real’ people, ‘largeness’ is often associated with artificiality, insincerity, the manufactured spectacular. By analysing online comments to a YouTube video of ‘Bigger!’ – the celebration of ‘Big Broadway’ performed by Neil Patrick Harris during the 2013 Tony Awards – this article shows how audiences are able to feel a sense of intimacy while watching big performances, even when these are not experienced ‘live’.
Broomsticks and barricades: Performance, empowerment, and feeling in Wicked and Les Misérables
Authors: Blair Kelsey 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
In this article, I examine the act one finales of two Broadway megamusicals – ‘Defying Gravity’ from Wicked (2003) and ‘One Day More’ from Les Misérables (1987) – to query the relationship between the performance of these numbers and the generation and circulation of feelings of empowerment. As musical theatre scholar Jessica Sternfeld argues, megamusicals offer a performance where ‘emotions run high [and] the tears tend to flow both onstage and in the audience’. Both ‘Defying Gravity’ (where one character in a single song offers a performance of empowerment) and ‘One Day More’ (where an ensemble performs empowerment) have been singled out for their affective impact on audience members and their association with empowerment. Through an analysis of these two numbers, I argue that the numbers’ artistic elements intentionally emphasize the performance of empowerment’s two defining characteristics, power and change, in order to amplify characters’ feelings of empowerment. This, in turn, establishes an affective link between stage and auditorium.
Too big for Broadway?: The limits of historical and theatrical empathy in Parade and The Scottsboro Boys
Authors: Stahl Megan 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
This article examines the concept of historical empathy through a case study of two factually based musicals: Parade (1998), about the murder trial and subsequent lynching of Jewish factory manager Leo Frank in 1915, and The Scottsboro Boys (2010), a retelling of the 1931 trial in which nine African American teenagers were unjustly convicted of rape. In contrast to theatrical empathy, typically characterized by a reflexive emotional reaction to the situation and feelings of another person, historical empathy requires an intellectual involvement with a piece, a consideration of the particular people, places and circumstances within a broader framework. Both Parade and The Scottsboro Boys challenge their spectators to confront two specific moments of racial bias in America through this kind of empathic perspective taking, destabilizing conventions of musical theatre in their prioritization of history over character. Through an analysis of the productions’ presentation of expansive historical narratives, disconcerting subject matter, and unconventional musical forms, this article explores the tension between theatrical and historical empathy in the musicalization of real-world events.
What a crescendo – not to be missed: Loudness on the musical stage
Authors: Valencia Brian D. 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Recent research suggests that loudness, as an isolated aural quality, has an enormous ability to affect a listener’s emotional response to a musical performance – but loudness is far more complex than simply cranking the volume up or down. This article traces a history of loudness on the musical stage, exploring some compositional, orchestral, dramaturgical, and technical choices, in addition to a plethora of physical and cognitive phenomena, that contribute to a sense of musical largeness onstage, as well as its psycho-emotional consequences.
‘Only the last song if we let it be’: Dancer in the Dark, The Sound of Music and song and dance as traumatic container
Authors: Joseph Rachel 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Lars von Trier’s homage to and critique of musical theatre and film in Dancer in the Dark (2000) uses the big musical theatre song and dance number as a place where the unfathomability of traumatic emotion is expressed. Trauma’s unfathomability comes from the inability of the person to process the traumatic event at the moment of its occurrence. It tears apart carefully constructed fantasies that structure reality and expose what usually hides from consciousness. Dancer in the Dark uses the framing device of The Sound of Music, both the original 1959 stage version and the 1965 film, and represents the absolute split between reality and fantasy as traumatized Selma dreams herself into musical numbers. This space of tragedy emerges framed by her dream of performing Maria in a community theatre production of The Sound of Music. The affective promise of musical theatre during ‘real’ rehearsals of The Sound of Music contrasts sharply against the cinematic fantasies rooted in the film The Sound of Music that serve to lift off the burden of traumatic reality. This article will explore the revision to the film musical that von Trier offers with Dancer in the Dark alongside the intertexts of theatre and film versions of The Sound of Music in relationship to trauma, emotion and the psychoanalytic concept of the ‘cure’.
Embracing excess: The queer feminist power of musical theatre diva roles
Authors: Dvoskin Michelle 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Diva musicals: shows built around roles designed to be played by exceptionally charismatic performers, larger-than-life female characters who, like them or hate them (but almost always love them), drive the action and dominate the stage. Sometimes, as in Hairspray (2002), these diva roles are also what might be termed diva characters, female characters whose identities are built at least in part around their status as performers. However some of the greatest diva roles, like Rose in Gypsy (1959), are not diva characters. Likewise, some diva characters, like Felicia in Memphis (2009), are not allowed to expand into the fullness of a diva role. I explore this distinction in this article in order to analyse how the excess inherent in diva roles allows them to serve as productive sites for queer feminist cultural critique, while arguing that diva characters may reinforce more conservative approaches to gender and sexuality.
Estrategias de los inmigrantes del Este en España durante la crisis económica
Authors: Viruela Rafael , Marcu Silvia 
Published: June 2016

La Gran Recesión, iniciada a finales de 2007, se manifiesta fundamentalmente como crisis de empleo y afecta sobre todo a la población inmigrada. La mayor parte de los migrantes han decidido permanecer en España y, para paliar los efectos de la crisis, han desplegado diversas estrategias en el ámbito productivo y reproductivo. Una de las respuestas al progresivo deterioro del mercado de trabajo ha sido la movilidad geográfica interior y transnacional, que adopta diversas formas: retorno, emigración a un tercer país y migración circular. La información utilizada en este artículo procede de 64 entrevistas en profundidad a ciudadanos de Rumania y Bulgaria residentes en España, y otras 32 a familiares y emigrantes retornados, que se realizaron en aquellos países. A los testimonios de los protagonistas hay que añadir los datos socioeconómicos que proporcionan el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y el Ministerio de Empleo.
Medidas y condiciones de integración de inmigrantes: una propuesta europea difícil de articular en España
Authors: García Juan Laura 
Published: June 2016

La Unión Europea ha culminado la puesta en marcha de los nuevos instrumentos de financiación para el periodo 2014-2020. La entrada en vigor del Reglamento por el que se crea el Fondo de Asilo, Migración e Integración ha dejado sin efecto la normativa por la que se regía el anterior Fondo Europeo para la Integración de Nacionales de Terceros países. Con este último se financiaron en España numerosos programas destinados a la integración sociolaboral de los inmigrantes desde su creación en 2007, pero no siempre sus objetivos se ajustaron a las prioridades de la Comisión Europea. Los enormes desafíos a los que nos enfrentamos en un contexto económico, social y político totalmente diferente al de hace nueve años plantean la urgente necesidad de seguir profundizando en la reflexión sobre nuestras políticas de integración de inmigrantes.
En torno a la Circularidad Migratoria: Aproximaciones conceptuales, Dimensiones teóricas y Práctica Política
Authors: López-Sala Ana , Godenau Dirk 
Published: June 2016

Migración circular es un término de gran atractivo que ha entrado con fuerza en la última década en la agenda académica y política de Europa y Norteamérica. La popularidad del concepto está vinculada en gran parte a la búsqueda de nuevas fórmulas políticas de gestión de la migración internacional. A pesar de su popularidad, la circularidad migratoria se mantiene como un concepto vago e impreciso. A través de una revisión conceptual y teórica este artículo subraya la distinción analítica y empírica entre circularidad espontánea y circularidad inducida. En él se hace referencia al concepto de circularidad inducida como un patrón de movilidad migratoria distintivo impulsado por los nuevos programas de reclutamiento de trabajadores temporales.
Televisión pública y diversidad cultural en España: el caso de los programas dirigidos a «inmigrantes»
Authors: Navarro Laura 
Published: June 2016

El presente artículo analiza la aparición de los primeros programas televisivos dirigidos a «inmigrantes» en España, desde una perspectiva histórica y sociológica que permite constatar la influencia del contexto social, político y económico del país en la creación —y en muchos casos también desaparición— de estos programas, así como el rol pionero de las televisiones públicas autonómicas y locales en la promoción de este tipo de emisiones. Asimismo, el análisis de la evolución y desaparición de los programas Con todos los acentos (TVE) y Andalucía sin fronteras (Canal Sur TV) pone de manifiesto la comercialización de los contenidos y la precarización de medios técnicos y humanos que se produce— especialmente a partir del 2008— en estos espacios mediáticos creados, en su origen, para promover la «integración» de la población inmigrante y la divulgación de la «diversidad».
Association Between Uropathogen and Pyuria
Authors: Shaikh Nader , Shope Timothy R. , Hoberman Alejandro , Vigliotti Alyssa , Kurs-Lasky Marcia , Martin Judith M. 
Published: June 2016

OBJECTIVE:
We sought to determine factors associated with the absence of pyuria in symptomatic children whose urine culture was positive for a known uropathogen.

METHODS:
We obtained data on children evaluated at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh emergency department between 2007 and 2013 with symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI) who had paired urinalysis and urine cultures. We excluded children with an unknown or bag urine collection method, major genitourinary anomalies, immunocompromising conditions, or with multiple organisms on culture. We chose a single, randomly-selected urine specimen per child and limited the analysis to those with positive cultures.

RESULTS:
There were 46 158 visits during the study period; 1181 children diagnosed with UTI met all inclusion criteria and had a microscopic urinalysis for pyuria. Pyuria (≥5 white blood cells per high-powered field or ≥10 white blood cells per cubic millimeter) was present in 1031 (87%) children and absent in 150 (13%). Children with Enterococcus species, Klebsiella species, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were significantly less likely to exhibit pyuria than children with Escherichia coli (odds ratio of 0.14, 0.34, and 0.19, respectively). Children with these organisms were also less likely to have a positive leukocyte esterase on dipstick urinalysis. Results were similar when we restricted the analysis to children whose urine samples were collected by bladder catheterization.

CONCLUSIONS:
We found that certain uropathogens are less likely to be associated with pyuria in symptomatic children. Identification of biomarkers more accurate than pyuria or leukocyte esterase may help reduce over- and undertreatment of UTIs.
All that glitters is not gold”: continuities in international order and limits to global south reconfiguration
Authors: Actis Esteban , Zelicovich Julieta 
Published: June 2016

La literatura actual sobre Relaciones Internacionales ha observado, desde hace bastante tiempo, que el poder internacional está experimentando un proceso de transformación y que nos enfrentamos a un "reconfiguración del Sur global." Sin embargo, nuestra opinión es que estas declaraciones exageran la profundidad y la naturaleza de las transformaciones. En este artículo vamos a poner adelante para la discusión de los conceptos ampliamente utilizados de "reconfiguración del orden internacional" y "democratización de las relaciones internacionales" y tratar de poner a prueba su alcance y los límites. Nuestra hipótesis es que, a pesar de que desde el comienzo del siglo XXI una redistribución de los recursos, principalmente económicos ha tenido lugar a nivel mundial, las normas, los principios, las instituciones y las políticas que han estructurado el sistema internacional desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX tienen sin cambio. El discurso mantenido por potencias emergentes es una de la reforma del sistema, pero en sus acciones que tratan de converger con los poderes tradicionales, siguiendo el camino del orden liberal. Para el resto del "Sur" esta situación no plantea nuevas posibilidades para influir y participar en el sistema internacional, pero replica las asimetrías y dependencias del orden imperante.

Online and Offline Friendship Among Italian Adolescent Girls Following a Non-Traditional School Track
Authors: Zucchetti Giulia , Giannotta Fabrizia , Rabaglietti Emanuela 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Background: There is still a question of whether online friendship predicts changes in face-to-face friendship (Reduction Hypothesis) or face-to-face friendship predicts changes in online friendship (Compensation Hypothesis) during adolescence.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare these two hypotheses to determine which comes first: online friendship or offline friendship.
Method: Eighty adolescent girls between the ages of 14 and 19 years (mean, 16.07 years; standard deviation, 1.28 years) on a non-traditional school track completed self-report questionnaires. Two wave longitudinal models were tested with the use of cross-lagged analysis to compare the hypotheses.
Results: Analysis showed that negative face-to-face friendship quality predicted online friendship but that the opposite was not true.
Conclusions: The study’s findings underlined the compensation role of online friendship for girls with poor or unsatisfactory offline social worlds. The implications of this information and suggestions for clinicians and professionals to use to enhance adolescent social skills and to promote appropriate use of the Internet will be discussed.
How Prevalent Are Autistic Traits Among Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder? A Qualitative Review of the Literature
Authors: Uchida Mai , Faraone Stephen V. , Joshi Gagan , Spencer Andrea , Kenworthy Tara , Woodworth K. Yvonne , Biederman Joseph 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Background: Twin, family, and linkage studies have indicated that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) share a portion of their heritable etiology. This suggests that individuals with ADHD may manifest different forms of ASDs that may range from fully developed syndromic forms of the disorder to milder manifestations of ASD symptomatology, which will henceforth be referred to as autistic traits.
Objective: The main purpose of this study was to conduct a literature search to examine the current body of knowledge regarding the prevalence of autistic traits (operationalized as the presence of autistic symptoms in the absence of a diagnosis of ASD) among children with ADHD and the associated morbidity of such traits.
Method: A systematic literature search in PubMed was conducted to discover all controlled studies published in the English language that systematically assessed the presence of autistic traits in children with ADHD who did not meet the criteria for ASDs. Three articles met our inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included in this qualitative review.
Results: Only three scientific papers that met our a priori inclusion and exclusion criteria were identified. These articles described findings obtained from clinical samples and identified a prevalence of autistic traits among children with ADHD that ranged from 7% to 60%. As compared with children with ADHD without these traits, the presence of autistic traits in children with ADHD was associated with more severe dysfunction in a wide range of non-overlapping domains and in the social and communication domains in particular.
Conclusions: Although this study was limited by the small amount of available literature about this subject, these findings suggest that a sizeable subset of children with ADHD manifest autistic traits and that the presence of these traits is associated with increased dysfunction and social and communication deficits.
