Seiki jutsu: Transformation and healing through spontaneous movement
Authors: Keeney Bradford , Keeney Hillary 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Seiki jutsu is a unique self-healing and revitalization practice based on spontaneous expression. The transformative art of handling seiki, the presumed vital life force, consists of transmitting enhanced seiki, a daily practice for its development, and healing modalities that address body movement and therapeutic conversation. Seiki jutsu differs from other movement-based practices in that it emphasizes spontaneity over choreographed form, and has little concern with explanation. This ­article introduces a brief history of seiki jutsu, and its relevance and application as a member of the somatic and conversational healing arts.
Narratives of clothing: Concentration camp dress as a companion to survival
Authors: Pantouvaki Sofia 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Common knowledge about Second World War prisoner identification in Nazi concentration camps usually focuses on the registration process and the striped uniforms issued to new inmates. Recent research on concentration camp clothing based on primary sources has revealed lesser known, and even entirely unknown other types of garments, including civilian clothing marked to identify camp prisoners. Dress was a valuable companion on the route towards survival; personal narratives relating to camp attire reveal individual stories hidden in every piece of clothing.
This study presents new material from an ongoing research project on prisoners’ clothing in Second World War concentration camps. Valuable information is gleaned from unpublished evidence documented in personal interviews with former camp prisoners from Central Europe. This article explores the journeys of the garments alongside the persons through the study of former prisoners’ narratives. It combines data collected from oral testimony and archival research using qualitative analysis, and proposes oral history as a valuable tool in documenting personal experience related to the clothing that accompanied concentration camp survivors to the end of the war. The article brings to light significant aspects of the role of attire within the Nazi concentration camp context as an essential key to survival.
Brazilian fashion and the ‘exotic’
Authors: Bonadio Maria Claudia 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The construction of an exoticism associated with diverse elements of Brazilian cultural identities is a subject that has been widely investigated in several studies. Although much of what one sees and does in Brazilian fashion is characterized by images of exoticism, there has been little reflection on how it has become exotic. And yet, is this something that is just exotic to ‘others’ or also to Brazilians? Do Brazilians also understand themselves as such? In this article, I seek possible answers to these questions by outlining a brief history of the way the visual identity of Brazilian fashion has been created, by examining the role of the textile industry and cultural institutions (in particular the São Paulo Museum of Art) in the preparation of this visual understanding.
Doctor Who’s textual commemorators: Fandom, collective memory and the self-commodification
of fanfac
Authors: Hills Matt 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Following ‘first wave’ fan studies and the seminal Textual Poachers (1992) by Jenkins, much scholarly work has focused on fan fiction or fanfic. This article argues that an alternative genre of fan writing – the autobiographical account of fan memory/experience – forms part of media fandom’s ‘textual productivity’. Defining this as fanfac (reflexively produced fact or faction, often shaped to entertain fellow fans), I examine this mode of commemorative fan writing in relation to a case study of the British SF TV series Doctor Who (BBC, 1963–89, 1996, 2005–). Drawing on prior work in memory studies, I consider how fans’ memories provide a resource that can be self-commodified and sold back to the fan culture, thus making fanfac very different to the typical social relations surrounding fanfic. Fans’ production of textual memories can be thought of as a form of ‘banal commemoration’, which Doctor Who fans themselves auto-commodify within the ‘commemoration industry’ surrounding this TV series that celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013. More so than ‘textual poachers’ creating fanfic, sections of UK and US Who fandom can be theorized instead as ‘textual commemorators’ producing fanfac, which contributes to, and sometimes contests, the fandom’s collective memory.
Tracing Textual Poachers: Reflections on the development of fan studies and digital fandom
Authors: Bennett Lucy 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
In 1992 Henry Jenkins’ influential work, Textual Poachers, was published, which contributed towards igniting the establishment of the fan studies field of research and re-morphing previous restrictive depictions of media fans. This article traces the work’s influence on my own steps as an early career researcher in the field and how it shaped my ideas and approach to scholarship. Speaking more broadly, it assesses the current state of the fan studies field, and how things have developed since Jenkins’ text was released. I reflect on what general fluxes, concerns and dimensions are currently with us, through a lens of the themes raised in Textual Poachers, most especially surrounding the development of technology and social media, methods in the field and fans’ relations with texts, assessing to what degree we have moved forward, or remained in stasis within fan studies scholarship. This study argues that technological advances have impacted on and shaped four key, often interconnected, areas of fandom and enquiry: (1) communication, (2) creativity, (3) knowledge and (4) organizational and civic power. Overall, this article shows how Textual Poachers is an invaluable source to measure the field and landscape of fandom, and determine the extent to which it has seemingly leaped forward.
Searching for the Green Man: A sketchbook quest
Authors: Smy Pam 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article explores the process undertaken by an illustrator to represent the Green Man as a character in a novel written for children by the author, Linda Newbery, published by David Fickling Books in 2010. Using the sketchbook as a research tool, the illustrator describes how the process of observational drawing can aid understanding and interpretation of an author’s text, and help identify the key components in visual representation of a folk character.
‘Hellooo!’: Voices, reversals, and subjectivities in Seinfeld
Authors: Dima Vlad 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article explores the narrative construction of the episode entitled ‘The Voice’ in the context of the show Seinfeld from 1989 to 1998 (NBC), and that of the wider genre of the sitcom, as well as notions of female/male subjectivity. I first argue that the narrative structure of the episode (as well as that of the entire series since several references to other episodes will be made) reverses the classic Hollywood narrative progression. Second, I show that even though Seinfeld maintains many classic conventions, such as suture, and restrictions on the female body and voice, a unique, shifting (female) subjectivity still emerges.
‘Dogmas’ for television drama: The ideas of ‘one vision’, ‘double storytelling’, ‘crossover’ and ‘producer’s choice’ in drama series from the Danish public service broadcaster DR
Authors: Redvall Eva Novrup 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article traces the main concepts in the so-called production dogmas of the in-house drama department DR Fiction at the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), which has recently produced acclaimed series such as Forbrydelsen/The Killing (2007–2012) and Borgen (2010–2013). The idea of putting the writer at the centre of the production process based on the concept of ‘one vision’ is highlighted as important to understanding the nature of the series from DR. The article discusses the concepts of public service ‘double storytelling’, organizing production based on notions of ‘crossover’ between the film and TV industry and ‘producer’s choice’. The article argues that while the strong talent behind the series and contextual aspects such as the recent interest in ‘Nordic Noir’ and new scheduling strategies for subtitled content by UK broadcaster BBC4 are important for understanding the international interest, major changes in the mode of production at DR Fiction since the late 1990s also need to be included in the understanding of the choice of content, the look and the recent success of several Danish series.
The Killing: Urban topographies of a crime
Authors: Agger Gunhild 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article tracks the uncanny locations of The Killing (2007–2012), relating them to place, space and atmosphere, putting bits and pieces from the topographic puzzle together with cues from the symbolic space in order to see how they fit into the overall pattern of Nordic Noir. In The Killing, the abstract level of space and atmosphere meets the concrete level of place, both influencing the notion of location.
This meeting, I suggest, has contributed towards the simultaneous domestic and international appeal of The Killing.
‘This was just a melodramatic crapfest’: American TV Critics’ reception of The Killing
Authors: Kohnen Melanie E.S. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
In this brief overview of The Killing’s American reception, I consider the series’ rise and fall in critics’ eyes and relate these changing perceptions to expectations rooted in AMC’s brand, AMC’s promotional campaign, and the discourse of basic cable drama. I argue that rather than searching for an explanation of The Killing’s ‘failure’, it is more productive to consider this perceived failure as indication of a gap between critics’ expectations and The Killing’s challenge to the narrative structure of the masculinized prime time drama.
Deus ex Machina: AI Apocalypticism in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Authors: Bennett Eve 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article examines religious themes in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (T:TSCC). These were already present in the film franchise of which the programme is a spin-off, in particular, in parallels drawn between John Connor, the man prophesized to save humankind from destruction by intelligent machines, and the Christian messiah. However, the TV series revises these parallels in such a way that it is now Terminators, the apparent antagonists, who are repeatedly aligned with Christ and even with God. The article suggests that this change has been influenced by a movement which Robert Geraci terms ‘Apocalyptic AI’, the basic tenet of which is a belief in the imminent arrival of the ‘Singularity:’ the point at which artificial intelligence (AI) will surpass that of humans. Geraci argues that AI Apocalypticism, which has become increasingly popularized in recent years, has absorbed many aspects of Judaeo-Christian belief and rhetoric. Its adherents view AI as a quasi-divine entity capable of instigating the apocalypse, but which may also offer salvation, and is therefore an object of both fascination and fear. This, I will argue, is very much the case in T:TSCC, in which the Terminators are still frightening but may be essential to humanity’s survival.
Empathy or entitlement? Humanizing and Othering discourses in Go Back To Where You Came From
Authors: Price Emma 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Debate over asylum seekers and refugees has continued over several decades in Australia. Terms such as ‘boat people’, ‘illegal immigrants’ and ‘queue jumpers’ have peppered more recent discussions, as well as political party rhetoric such as ‘stopping the boats’ and a network of ‘people smuggling’. In 2011 SBS (Australia) broadcast the first series of a reality TV-type programme entitled Go Back To Where You Came From in which a group of ‘ordinary Australians’ followed a refugee journey in reverse. This ‘alternative’ format for exploring a controversial Australian issue suggests the potential for a more humanitarian perspective and a different kind of engagement with audiences as opposed to news or documentary. This article however examines discourses of the ‘Other’ still present within the programme, including the representation of ‘ordinary Australians’ as potential opportunities for empathy, but also as possible perpetuation of the dominant negative portrayals of refugees and asylum seekers in Australia. Utilizing Said and Bhabha’s theories of Orientalism and the Other, this article combines research on media representation of refugees with Hage’s argument about the construction of ‘paranoid nationalism’ through care and worry, to examine the tensions in Go Back To Where You Came From between humanitarian inclusion and exclusion, and between legitimacy and deviance.
Inaugural editorial: Urban cultural studies – a manifesto (Part 1)
Authors: Fraser Benjamin 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This inaugural editorial launching the first volume of the Journal of Urban Cultural Studies details, in two parts, the need for and significance of an urban cultural studies method, broadly conceived. Part 1 (in Issue 1) culls insights from the work of urban philosopher and cultural studies pioneer Henri Lefebvre (1901–91) as a way of exploring the role of philosophy in urban cultural studies research and examining its key terms: cities, the urban, interdisciplinarity and culture. Overall, urban cultural studies (UCS) foments a dialogue between art and society – between textual/representational (humanities) understandings of culture and anthropological, geographical, sociological (social science) approaches. This is ideally accomplished within a reconfigured urban studies paradigm that continues to embrace its characteristic focus on architecture, built environment, city planning, everyday life, identity formation, landscape, space/place, transportation and more, while venturing further into artistic terrain than ever before – films, literature, music, sequential art, painting, digital humanities approaches and more.
Tokyo, gender and mobility: Tracking fictional characters on real monorails, trains, subways and trams
Authors: Thornbury Barbara E. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Multiple strands of early twenty-first-century Tokyo’s gendered narratives find expression in a large body of internationally circulated short stories, novels and films from Japan that figuratively incorporate portions of the city’s actual transportation infrastructure. It is an infrastructure that frames and defines Tokyo – a ‘city of trains’ – as a socially dynamic geographical entity. Urban rail-system-rich texts such as Noboru Tsujihara’s ‘My Slightly Crooked Brooch’ – along with Natsuo Kirino’s Real World, Fuminori Nakamura’s The Thief, Shosuke Murakami’s Train Man, Banana Yoshimoto’s ‘Newlywed’, and Hsiao-Hsien Hou’s Café Lumière – show the illusoriness (especially for women) of the alluring promise of mobility in both life and on the rails. At the same time, they contain hints of newly emerging interventions and choices, along with the possibility of a counter-hegemonic discourse in which women resolutely assert their agency on a rail system built by and mostly for men.
The projection on the wall: What audio-visual architectural mapping says about Catalan identity
Authors: Vilaseca Stephen Luis 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Audio-visual architectural mapping transforms the façades of buildings into something completely different. Projectors and speakers coordinate computer-controlled images and sound in order to impose a visual and audio remapping of the surface. Through the projection of simulated shadows, fixed architectural elements can be made to appear to move. The practice of superimposing dynamically changing information over city space offers a new way to write and tell stories that inextricably links architecture, technology, public space and urban planning. Drawing on recent studies that have linked urban spectacles, screens and public space, this article explores the relationship between audio-visual architectural mapping and the production of identity in contemporary Catalonia.
What is the meaning of potential today?
Authors: Hölscher Stefan 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article tries to demonstrate how far in contemporary capitalism, if not to say in capitalist realism, the difference between potentia and potestas has become deeply prone to its own inversion. We are living under circumstances which utilize our potential itself, subsuming it under a world-wide biopolitical calculus, rendering it into finance, and thereby integrating it in a continuously expanding territory that is all the same smooth and striated. Ultimately, there is no clear boundary between potentia and potestas. Our problem is that any clear distinction between constituent acts and already constituted agencies - naturing nature (natura naturans) and natured nature (natura naturata) in Spinoza - respectively, the difference between Multitude and Empire, has almost vanished and cannot be defined that easily.
GILŠ-KODUM (1991-1999) alongside Bauhaus and Black Mountain College Metka Zobec (20 February 1956, Ljubljana-3 February 2013, Ljubljana)
Authors: Vevar Rok 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Metka Zobec (1956-2013) created the Theatre and Puppet School - Cosmopolitan Workshop of Art (1991-1999) under the former Association of Cultural Organisations of Slovenia (ZKOS) in the beginning of the 1990s. The school pioneered new educational models in the field of performance art in Slovenia and played an important role in making up for the lack of institutional programmes in this field. By choosing original ways of teaching that could today be placed alongside Bauhaus and Black Mountain College, it left a decisive mark on the generations of students and mentors attending and co-creating it.
How to take dance seriously, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Bojana Cvejić, A Choreographer’s Score, Brussels: Mercatorfonds, 2012.
Authors: Čičigoj Katja 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article tries to rethink the ways in which the bundle of audio–video documentation and written material entitled A Choreographer’s Score approaches the early dance and choreographic practice of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and her contemporary dance group Rosas. As I wish to propose, this hybrid bundle, which came about as a dialogical meeting between the aforementioned choreographer and the theoretician Bojana Cvejić, remains ‘faithful' to the materiality of dance by not inscribing it in normative registers of writing on dance and dance-writing, but by attempting the rethinking of the contextual redefinitions of both – and other – dance-specific concepts precisely through the practice of writing on dance.
Choreography of dissonant voices: Parallel Slalom: A Lexicon of Non-Aligned Poetics, Bojana Cvejić and Goran Sergej Pristaš (eds) (2013), Belgrade and Zagreb: Walking Theory – TkH, CDU – Centre for Drama Art
Authors: Arhar Nika 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
With its initial desire to articulate contemporary dance history in Eastern Europe, the collection Parallel Slalom steps directly into the moment of the encounter between history and the present, the East and the West, and it touches upon numerous ideological categories that appear in these encounters as a consequence of the hierarchical matrix of the western narrative. It explores dance in its emancipatory and transformative potential as a constant articulation and re-articulation; it emphasizes the potentiality of heterogeneity of local practices, contexts, principles and criteria; and it directs mental efforts towards the possibilities of creating one's own, specific and potentially rebellious or innovative forms of life and work.
Reversed remediation: A critical display of the workings of media in art
Authors: Maria Korsten Saskia Isabella 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article distinguishes between the theories of remediation and reversed remediation and applies this theoretical foundation to Evelien Lohbeck's artwork noteboek (2008). Reversed remediation is an aesthetic strategy that subverts media critics Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin's notion of 'remediation' in their eponymous article, which serves a historical desire for immediacy. Countering media theorist Marshall McLuhan's fear, in Understanding Media ([1964] 2003), of the narcotic state that the user of a medium can enter when becoming a closed system with the medium, reversed remediation creates a state of critical awareness about how media shape one's perception of the world.
Movements in contemporary dance?
Authors: Kraigher Amelia 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The current editorial board of Maska first raised the issue of the concerns of contemporary dance already in March 2012; almost exactly a year ago, this was followed by the first drafts for the present issue and finally by the decision that the contemporary dance issue should be addressed thoroughly and systematically. The long and highly inspiring discussions with editorial board members gradually provided the focus for our contemplation, understanding and reading of dance through social contexts. We set an ambitious task of drawing the views of contemporary dance from different perspectives: historical, educational, infrastructural, performative, curatorial, production, theoretical, conceptual, interpretational… that are rhizomatically embedded within inter-genre and international transitions. Our broadly defined topic about the movements in contemporary dance will spill over into the next issue of Maska to be published in Spring 2014.

How to address politicians, the broader public and the local community? Ingo Diehl talks about networking, solidarity and the common good. And about how contemporary dance can contribute to all this.
Coups, constitution-making, unmaking, and remaking in Fiji: Competing visions of citizenship
Authors: Harding Bruce 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This is a discussion of the major constitutional review of governance in the Fiji Islands conducted in 1995–1996 (the Reeves Report) that was aborted by the 2000 coup d’etat of George Speight. Political instability and dictatorship have ensued in Fiji (especially from 2006 with the Commodore Frank Bainimarama coup), but the Yash Ghai independent Constitution Commission (whose ideas have re-shaped a new transcultural future for Fiji) was clearly significantly inspired by the 1997 Constitution presented to President Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara in 1996. This article was written a year before the promulgation of the new democratic document (2013) for Fijian elections in 2014 and it traces the core ideas contesting ethnocracy in the Reeves Report. The article explores the lengthy road of constitutional planning in the Fiji Islands from 1965 to 2013 and, through a focus on that nation’s most robust and modern constitution (its third) before 2012, points to the best way forward for a multi-ethnic republic in the country which hosts the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat.
