Supporting cancer patients and their carers: the contribution of art therapy and clinical psychology
Authors: Jones Gudrun , Browning Mary 
Published: August 2014

The value of various types of psychosocial support for people with cancer is now becoming well established. Typically the term ‘psychosocial’ includes: counselling and psychotherapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, education and information, and social support. The research literature sometimes fails to clarify the exact nature of the different approaches and their relative efficacy. Inevitably, even within a specific type of therapeutic approach, there is variation owing to the professional background and skills of different practitioners. This article describes the relative contributions made by an art psychotherapist and a clinical psychologist working together in a cancer and palliative care service in Wales. The referrals come from the same sources and tend to be for similar types of problem. The assessment and formulation processes are also broadly similar. Interventions, however, are markedly different. These are described in some detail through case study examples.
Borescope-Aided Inspection May Be Useful in Some Drywood Termite Detection Situations
Authors: Sutherland Andrew M. , Tabuchi Robin L. , Moore Sara , Lewis Vernard R. 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
Detection and delimitation, usually accomplished via visual inspection, are primary tactics used for integrated pest management of drywood termite infestations, helping to determine whether whole-structure or localized treatment will be required. Borescopes, fiber-optic devices enabling views within voids, represent alternative or supplemental inspection tools, potentially increasing accuracy and efficiency. We observed and recorded successes of seven participants, with varied levels of termite inspection experience, when asked to identify sample items evidential of drywood termite infestation or likely to be confused with such items. Identifications were made in the laboratory, where samples were protected from view by a physical division, and in a simulated field environment, where samples were placed within inaccessible wall voids, some of which contained insulation material and were therefore designated as “external” voids. Identification accuracy was 80.6 percent overall, highest in the laboratory and lowest in external voids in the field. Differences due to participant became evident in the field, where accuracy ranged from 35.7 to 78.6 percent. Differences in identification accuracy due to sample type were important in both the laboratory and the field. In some cases, participants were able to achieve levels of identification accuracy comparable to those previously observed with alternative inspection devices such as acoustic emission and microwave. Borescope-aided inspection may be useful (but should not be solely relied upon) in cases where structural/environmental impediments are few, inspectors are experienced and physically able, and infestations are large enough to produce evidential items such as dead alate termites and accumulations of termite pellets.

Modernity and visual appeal in the Telenovela Dancin’ Days (1978)
Authors: Wajnman Solange 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
This article analyses Dancin’ Days, a telenovela broadcast in 1978 by Rede Globo, Brazil’s largest FTA-TV network. The process of economic, social, political and ideological change during the late 1970s, including the renewal of the material base of societies all over the world, is the general context in which the article seeks to identify the aesthetic and visual implications of the technological revolution afoot at that time. More specifically, it attributes them to aspects of the production of Dancin’ Days, like its set, costumes and recording techniques, associated with the dramatic technological expansion of the period and the rise of the consumer culture.
Carmen Miranda and Brasilidade: Hollywood glamour and exoticism reinterpreted
Authors: Hall-Araujo Lori 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
This article examines the role leading twentieth-century Brazilian popular culture figure, Carmen Miranda, had in shaping modern ideas of brasilidade/Brazilianness. I show that she became a popular film and radio star in 1930s Brazil not only because she was an adept performer, but also because she crafted a public image inspired by Hollywood glamour. Unlike the World War II-era Latin American caricature she became in the United States, from 1929 to 1939 Carmen Miranda was a culturally influential and modern star in Brazil. Inspired by the Hollywood styles that she observed in imported films and that were featured in domestic magazines, Carmen Miranda became one of Brazil’s first film stars, the nation’s international ‘Ambassador of Samba’ and an important influence on modern understandings of brasilidade.
Typos urbanos: João Affonso and street characters of northern Brazil in the nineteenth century
Authors: Hage Fernando 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
The artist and journalist João Affonso (1855–1924) published in his early career drawings of characters, or ‘street types’, from the city of São Luís in the magazine A Flecha (1880–1881), and from the city of Belém in the magazine A Vida Paraense (1883–1884). These sets of characters, especially the women, were presented later in his book Três Séculos de Modas/Three Centuries of Fashion in 1923, considered one of the first studies of fashion history undertaken in Brazil. These types and their way of dressing show us the traits, diversity and contradictions of the Brazilian population and its relationship with European fashion.
From periphery to centre: Fashion and popular culture in Brazil
Authors: Guimarães Maria Eduarda Araujo 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
This article comprises three sections aimed at presenting some questions about the relationship between fashion and popular culture in Brazil. The first part deals with the relationship developed between the centre (Europe) and the periphery (Brazil) in the period when fashion culture emerged in Brazil in the nineteenth century. The second part addresses the emergence of a Brazilian visuality, expressed through clothing – yet not constituting fashion – and connected to popular culture, which developed on the fringes of Brazilian society from the nineteenth century to the first half of the twentieth century. Finally, the third part seeks to show how, from the end of the twentieth century, the phenomenon of globalization and its impact on identity have established a different relationship between centre and periphery.
Brazilian fashion: A place of cultural contamination
Authors: Sequeira Rosane Preciosa 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
If our historic-cultural mestizo background can endow us with a capacity to face the challenge of mixed races matrices, there is also an anthropophagic inscription that is found in our culture that can enable us to select and assimilate critically the repertoires to obtain power and expand our horizons. This article seeks to formulate ideas about Brazilian Fashion that are raised by these questions.
Fashion phenomena and the post-postmodern condition: Enquiry and speculation
Authors: Morgado Marcia A. 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
Elements of fashion-forward dress and appearance, along with novel fashion initiation and adoption practices, have been described as exhibiting the expressive features of postmodern culture. But a recent body of theoretical work suggests that postmodernism has been eclipsed by a new epoch. ‘Post-postmodern’ is a catch-all term for the new cultural ethos and the theories that describe it. Among these are Bourriaud’s thesis on altermodernism, Lipovetsky’s proposal on hypermodernity, Eshelman’s discussion of performatism, Samuels’ argument on automodernity, and Kirby’s argument on digimodernism. I describe these theories and address how their authors substantiate post-postmodern expressions in varying forms of popular culture. And, because none address fashion-related dress and appearance per se, I extrapolate from the propositions to propose possible parallel post-postmodern fashion phenomena. I conclude with a critique of the extrapolations and an assessment of the viability of the idea that aspects of current fashion-related phenomena reflect a post-postmodern condition.
Speaking for the army: The rhetoric of the US Army Combat Uniform and digital camouflage in popular culture
Authors: Stowell Rich 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
Clothing operates as a medium of communication, and military clothing has particular and powerful meanings. In 2004, the US Army adopted a new uniform, based on the digitized ‘Universal Camouflage Pattern’ (UCP). Since then, the digital Army Combat Uniform (ACU) has operated rhetorically to reinforce messages promulgated by the Army around the time the uniform was introduced, particularly those messages related to the Future Force and the Warrior Ethos. Drawing upon research and theory of fashion, sociology and visual rhetoric, this article examines how the US Army has presented itself through the ACU as powerful, agile and technologically driven, while reinforcing traditional martial and American ethics. Its success at employing the digital camouflage as visual rhetoric is validated by cultural appropriations of the camouflage pattern.
No jacket required: Academic women and the problem of the blazer
Authors: Moore Monica M. , Williams Gwyneth I. 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
Suits and suit-like jackets are clothing signifiers in our culture, denoting professionalism, seriousness of purpose and formality. The suit jacket is the standard for male formal wear in both social and professional settings: a suit is de rigeur for a man attending both his daughter’s wedding and a meeting with his Board of Directors. The more status, income and power connected to his job, the more likely he is to wear a suit jacket (hence the term, ‘power suit’). The most powerful men in an organization may be (somewhat derisively) referred to as the ‘suits’. Precisely because the jacket is so laden with social meaning, it is not unambiguously welcomed in the world of academia. To the extent a jacket is associated with traits such as power and conformity to a masculinist norm, it eschews the traits of intimacy, informality, creativity and femininity. We have been engaged in a research project on faculty clothing choices, involving extensive interviews with over sixty faculty members. We found that female professors understand the meanings associated with the jacket and thus take a variety of stances towards wearing this garment. Some don it regularly to project an image of masculinized authority, some completely reject it for much the same reasons, and many pull it on and take it off as they shift between the various demands of their jobs. In this article we examine the latent meaning of the suit jacket and the various responses it provokes among female faculty members.
Victorian gear heads and locomotive zealots: Vicarious nostalgia, retro-futurism and anachronisms of Steampunk and Dieselpunk
Authors: Strubel Jessica 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
This article explored the histories of both Steampunk and Dieselpunk with a focus on their dress behaviour and musical preferences as related to the ideologies of these groups. Particular attention was paid to both group’s fixations on nostalgia for periods outside of the individual members’ living memories and how this nostalgia is a feature of their consumption experiences. The article also addresses the anachronistic use of the word ‘punk’ in the name of each of these groups. There is an obvious incongruity with the naming of Steampunk and Dieselpunk because they are shameless consumer cultures with no obvious political inclinations. Although Steampunks and Dieselpunks do share the DIY aesthetic of the traditional punk subculture, their styles have been prefabricated, neatly packaged and made available for sale on any of the many websites devoted to providing the quintessential Victorian or diesel-era garb.
Fashion as public art: Strengthening communities through site-specific fashion collections
Authors: Navarro Henry 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
Fashion design and public art can be perceived to inhabit almost opposite realms, yet both practices engage audiences in the social domain. Through the completion of three site-specific projects, I have found that combining both disciplines makes for a uniquely effective way to empower and strengthen communities. To wit, my most recent sited fashion project brought together the African American and Caucasian communities of Cincinnati, Ohio, transforming the city into a space for cultural discourse. The success of these in situ fashion projects underlines the advantages of such work over other forms of public art, as audiences normally intimidated by contemporary art become willing participants in fashion-based undertakings. This article introduces the concept of site-specific collections, explains the peculiarities of fashion-based public-art practice, and defines their objectives, features and theoretical framework.

Nollywood production, distribution and reception
Authors: Tomaselli Keyan G. 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
This article outlines and examines the genesis of a pan-African research project on Nollywood that sought to widen current research on the topic to include distribution, exhibition and reception in a variety of African regions, including Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe. ‘South-North Conversations’ was devised by the overarching project to frame analysis. The role of key African satellite distributor, MultiChoice, is briefly discussed as a background to the project.
The perception/reception of DSTV/multichoice’s Africa Magic channels by selected Nigerian audiences
Authors: Ekwuazi Hyginus 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
There are three reasons for this study. The Africa Magic audience is significant – because Africa Magic remains the most significant distributor of the Nollywood film. Another reason is the significance of television and its audience in the growth of the Nollywood film – and M-Net’s Africa Magic channels/audience offer, perhaps, the best platform on which to investigate this. The third reason is the dearth of empirical studies on the Nollywood audience. This study on the perception/reception of DSTV/Multichoice’s Africa Magic channels by selected Nigerian audiences has necessarily adopted various reception theories as the major theoretical framework. Also adopted are both the stratified and convenient sampling techniques based on the tripodal structure of the Nollywood market/audience-blocs: Kano (Hausa); Onitsha/Aba (Igbo); and Idumota/Lagos (Yoruba). Data obtained from the samples were analysed, using frequency tables and simple percentages. Central to the findings here is the overwhelming popularity of the Africa Magic brand; and, in particular, a heavy preference for Africa Magic Yoruba.
Telepresence and immersion with high-definition digital displays: Background and future directions for research
Authors: Seel Peter B. 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
As Ultra-High-Definition Televisions (UHDTVs) increase in size and screen resolution, viewers may choose to sit closer to them for a greater sense of immersion in programme or game content. The article reviews the evolution of the immersive aspects of widescreen motion picture formats such as Cinerama and IMAX and their influence on widescreen television displays. Potential areas for future research in telepresence and immersion are suggested with the advent of 4K and 8K UHDTVs and the development of ultra-wide-angle digital Head-Mounted Displays (HMD). Producers of widescreen motion pictures, television programmes and video games are creating content with the goal of increasing viewer immersion – and digital display technologies are evolving to replicate the theatrical motion picture experience in the home. Future research will be required to study the positive and negative immersive effects of these technologies as they are adopted by consumers.
Television white spaces: Learning from cases of recent trials
Authors: Ko Hsien-Tang , Lee Chien-Hsun , Lin Jia-Huei , Chung Kay , Chu Nan-Shiun 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
With the development of Super Wi-Fi technology starting in 2011, TV White Space (TVWS) trials have been conducted in the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore and other developed countries, and applicable spectrum band, technology regulations and types of applications with regard to TVWS technology have been examined in this article. In many trials, Microsoft and Google have played a significant role. Supported by Spectrum Bridge, Microsoft set up spectrum databases in the UK’s and Singapore’s trials and voluntarily promoted TVWS applications in Kenya and Tanzania. This enabled Microsoft to provide broadband services in rural areas at a lower cost than previously possible in developing countries. Google also actively developed TVWS-related applications to increase broadband penetration and provide various innovative services, especially for the vertical markets. In addition, after Google obtained the authorization of the TVWS database from FCC on 28 June 2013, it became the third largest TVWS database provider in the United States. In order to improve the accessibility of broadband in Africa, Google supported the roll-out of TVWS broadband services in Republic of Liberia and Cape Town, South Africa. As a result, both Google and Microsoft have helped narrow the digital divide between African countries and developed ones.
Challenging neutrality: Invoking extra parties in political TV-interviews
Authors: Huls Erica , Pijnenburg Naomi 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
The study focuses on a practice that interviewers exploit when asking questions in one-on-one political TV-interviews: they invoke extra parties. This happens when they alter the participant structure of the dyadic talk by speaking on another’s behalf, inserting a video clip that speaks for them, inviting a guest at the table to take up a position in the argument-so-far or embed a physical object with a message in their utterance. The study aims to discover patterns and actions that coincide with the various forms of invoking extra parties. It also investigates whether the exploitation of an extra party touches upon the borderline between neutrality and non-neutrality. The data collection encompasses fragments of interviews taken from the Dutch talk show Pauw & Witteman. The analysis focuses on turn-taking, repair, laughter, face-saving acts and meta-conversation.
Results show that two procedures for invoking extra parties in one-on-one political interviews – inserting a video clip and embedding an object with a message – put pressure on a central value of good journalism: its neutrality.
Releasing the potential of Shakespearean comic book adaptations in the classroom: A case study of Romeo and Juliet
Authors: McNicol Sarah 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
The increasing number of comic book adaptions of Shakespeare’s plays is unsurprising given their prevalence within school curricula. Graphic novel adaptations are often seen as a stepping stone to the ‘real’ text, a way of introducing young people to works whose language, settings and complexity may, initially, be off-putting. Retelling Shakespeare’s plays in a comics format has, therefore, become a popular approach to attempt to engage students and to make the work more accessible, especially to ‘reluctant readers’. Romeo and Juliet is among the most frequently taught of Shakespeare’s texts, and is often used as a first introduction to studying Shakespeare. The four adaptations compared in this article illustrate the variety of ways in which Shakespeare can be reinterpreted in a comics format and used to support young people studying his plays. Classical Comics offers the most conventional representation, drawing obviously on long-standing comic traditions of the western hemisphere. A different approach is taken by the Manga Shakespeare version, which is set in present day Tokyo. This incorporates many elements of Japanese manga, while remaining accessible to readers without previous experience of manga, for instance, the action flows from left to right across the page and the book is read from ‘front to back’. The Manga Edition has many similar features, but retains the original setting of the play. Finally, Gareth Hinds’ recent adaptation clearly draws on European comic conventions, but also incorporates elements of manga, most noticeably in action scenes. Comparing these diverse approaches, this article considers how comic book adaptations can do more than simplify the text and make Shakespeare more attractive for young people. It considers ways in which they can act as an effective pedagogical device to support young people of differing abilities and levels of reading experience studying Shakespeare’s play. It also considers the extent to which these texts have a value in their own right, rather than simply being viewed as inferior versions of the original that merely engage and simplify Shakespeare’s plays and can be discarded as soon as they are no longer required.
Building a better ‘comic theory’: Shortcomings of theoretical research on comics and how to overcome them
Authors: Cohn Neil 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
Research on the understanding of ‘how comics work’ has grown tremendously over the past twenty years, with more articles and books emerging each year. Much of this research has discussed comparisons between comics and language, and/or has speculated on comics’ cognition. However, much of this research faces limitations, which hamper the seriousness of the endeavour and reflect the youth of this emerging field. This article points out these deficiencies that pervade theories about comics. These include inadequate background research, overly general and unsupportable claims, a lack of adequate evidence, and limitations for research methodologies. To address these concerns, I draw from over 50 years of research from linguistics and cognitive science to inform how the field of ‘comic theory’ can move forward. In particular, I outline two primary ways of progressing with this line of research: (1) explicit manipulation of the component parts of the structure used in comics and (2) cataloguing actual comics for various theoretically relevant phenomena. This data-driven approach is offered as a guiding vision for future works on the understanding of ‘how comics work’.
