Academic literature on the topic 'Barker, John, -1968'

Peter Barnes was born in 1931, and has been writing for the theatre since 1963: but he remains resolutely uncommercial, and enjoys even among enthusiasts an essentially cult following – though this includes Terry Hands, who directed his most recent work to reach the stage. Red Noses, for the RSC at the Barbican in 1985. The Ruling Class, his ‘baroque comedy’ on the British aristocracy and the ways it exercises power, helped to bring him the John Whiting Award in 1968 and the Evening Standard award as most promising playwright of 1969, though many found his ‘neo-Jacobean’ portrait of a sublimely insignificant Spanish monarch. The Bewitched, an even richer work when it reached the Aldwych under Hands's direction in 1974. Laughter, half-set in Auschwitz, followed at the Royal Court in 1978. In between, Barnes proselytizes enthusiastically for Ben Jonson, on whom he wrote for NTQ11 (1987), but makes most of his living from writing screenplays, and as a radio dramatist – notably in his occasional but long-running sequence of monologues. Barnes's People. As a near-contemporary, NTQ co-editor Clive Barker began this interview by discussing Barnes's own background, and talks also with the dramatist about his distinctive themes, beliefs, and working methods. Peter Barnes's Collected Plays to date have recently been published by Methuen.

Although belonging to literatures spatially and traditionally very remote from each other, John Steinbeck, an American Nobel Prize winner, and Frank Hardy, an Australian novelist and story-teller, share a number of common grounds. The fact that by the time Hardy wrote his first novel, in 1950, Steinbeck was already a popular writer with a long list of masterpieces does not justify the assumption that Hardy had Steinbeck at hand when writing his best-sellers, but it does exclude the opposite direction of inheritance. Hardy's creativ impulses and appropriations may have been the unconscious results of his omnivorous reading after he realized that "the transition from short stories [in which he excelled] to the novel was an obstacle not easily surmounted" as he confessed in The Hard Way: The Story Behind "Power Without Glory" (109). Furthermore, since both were highly regarded proletarian writers in communist Russia, Hardy might have become acquainted with Steinbeck's novels on one of his frequent visits to that country between 1951 and 1969.2 Upon closer reading, inter-textual entanglements with Steinbeck's prose can be detected in several of his books, including But the Dead Are Many (1975), the Billy Borker material collected in The Yarns of Billy Barker (1965) and in The Great Australian Lover and Other Stories (1967), and in Power Without Glory (1950). My purpose in this essay is to briefly illuminate the most striking similarities between the two authors' narrative strategies in terms of their writing style, narrative technique, and subject matter, and link these textual affinities to the larger social and cultural milieu of each author. In the second part I will focus on the parallels between their central works, Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath and Hardy's Power Without Glory.

The original series of Theatre Quarterly ran for ten years and forty issues, from 1971 to 1981. The relaunched journal intends to continue the best traditions of the old, while reflecting the changes that have overtaken the English-speaking theatre in the intervening years. Simon Trussler, who was an editor of the old TQ throughout its existence, here offers some personal reflections on the appearance of New Theatre Quarterly, the present mood of the theatre, and the challenges now facing theatre practitioners and researchers alike. Simon Trussler is also author of over twenty books and monographs on theatre, was drama critic of Tribune from 1966 to 1972, and currently teaches in the Drama Departments of Goldsmiths' College, University of London, and the University of Kent. Clive Barker, his associate editor on TQ since 1978, joins him as co-editor of the new journal. Formerly an actor with Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop, and author of the influential guide to actor training Theatre Games, Clive Barker is currently Senior Lecturer in Theatre Studies in the University of Warwick.

This article considers selected issues in the early fiction of Alan Paton, which is in manuscript form: three novels or parts of novels namely, “Ship of Truth” (1922-1923), “Brother Death” (1930), “John Henry Dane” (1934b), the novel/novella “Secret for seven” (1934d), and the short stories “Little Barbee”, (1928?) and “Calvin Doone” (1930a). Attention is given to the first novel. A summary of the findings follows: even though Paton’s longer unpublished fiction is religiously earnest and at times rhetorically effective, it is simplistic and tends to perpetuate the white, English-speaking patriarchal hegemony of Natal, rather than offer any sustained critique of it. These works are set against the background of the Natal Midlands in the 1920s and 1930s. The shorter fiction is slightly different in nature.

Pahlawan Perang Dunia II Winston Churchill suatu ketika pernah berkata, “Sejarah dibuat oleh para pemenang”. Jika kita membaca dan mencermati sejarah dunia dari masa ke masa, kata-kata tersebut barangkali ada benarnya. Para penakluk Spanyol (conquistadores) mulai dari Christopher Columbus, Fransisco Pizzaro, sampai Hernan Cortez mengarang cerita bahwa orang-orang Indian Amerika adalah masyarakat barbar (uncivilized) sehingga menjustifikasi penaklukan oleh masyarakat Eropa yang ‘tercerahkan’ (civilized). Pasca Perang Dunia II Sekutu sebagai pihak yang menang punya otoritas penuh untuk mereka-ulang rancang-bangun tatanan internasional. Dalam konteks ini, pendukung setia hegemoni Amerika John Ikenberry mengatakan dalam bukunya berjudul ‘After Victory: Institutions, Strategic Restraint, and the Rebuilding of Order After Major Wars’ bahwa munculnya institusi-institusi global semacam GATT yang kemudian berubah menjadi WTO, IMF, Bank Dunia, bahkan PBB tak luput dari upaya Amerika Serikat untuk merekonstruksi dunia menurut sudut pandangnya.Jika benar dunia dibentuk oleh kekuatan besar, lantas bagaimana peran negara-negara lain, lebih khusus negara-negara berkembang? Kita semua mahfum bahwa negara-negara berkembang dulunya adalah negara terjajah. Negara-negara ini rata-rata baru lahir dalam kurun waktu pasca Perang Dunia II sampai dengan dekade 1960-an. Dari segi geografis, negara-negara ini menempati tiga kawasan besar dunia yakni Asia, Afrika, dan Amerika Latin. Ketiga kawasan itu secara ekonomi dulunya dianggap sebagai kawasan marjinal, atau periphery menurut istilah penganut teori dependensia klasik. Kombinasi antara faktor politik sebagai negara terjajah dan faktor ekonomi sebagai negara ‘kelas dua’ membuat negara-negara berkembang tidak memiliki andil besar dalam arsitektur tatanan internasional.Tetapi apakah benar demikian?

Let us begin with an unfortunate fact: Adébáyọ̀ Fálétí is one major writer that is hardly anthologized. The problem could not have been that he wrote in Yorùbá because Fágúnwà is far more anthologized than he is. Simon Gikandi’s edited Encyclopedia of African Literature (2003) has an entry and other multiple references to Fágúnwà. There is only one reference to Fálétí which is found in the index without any accompanying instance in the work. In Irele and Gikandi’s edited volumes, The Cambridge History of African and Caribbean Literature (2004), Fálétí only managed an appearance in the bibliography that featured four of his works—Wọn Rò Pé Wèrè Ni ́ (1965), Ọmọ Olókùn Ẹṣin (1969), Baṣòrun Gáà (1972) and Ìdààmú Páàdì Mínkáílù (1974). In the preface, Irele and Gikandi write: The scholarly interest in African orality also drew attention to the considerable body of literature in the African languages that had come into existence as a consequence of the reduction of these languages to writing, one of the enduring effects of Christian evangelization. The ancient tradition of Ethiopian literature in Ge’ez, and modern works like Thomas Mofolo’s Shaka in the Sotho language, and the series of Yorùbá novels by D. O. Fágúnwà, were thus able finally to receive the consideration they deserved. African-language literatures came to be regarded as a distinct province of the general landscape of imaginative life and literary activity on the African continent (2004, xiii). Essays 60 Adeshina Afolayan In fact, the publication of Fágúnwà’s Ògbójù Ọdẹ Nínú Igbó Ìrúnmalẹ (The ̀ Intrepid Hunter in the Forest of Spirits, 1938) made the chronology of literary events in Africa, and it misses out Fálétí’s 1965 work. In her “Literature in Yorùbá: poetry and prose; traveling theater and modern drama,” in the same volume, Karin Barber seems to redress this imbalance when she gives a place to Fálétí in her discussion of post-Fágúnwà writers. According to her, In the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s there was an explosion of literary creativity, with many new authors emerging and pioneering new styles and themes. Among the most prominent were Adébáyọ Fálétí whose ̀ Ọmọ Olókùn Ẹṣin (1969) is a historical novel dealing with a revolt against the overlordship of Ọyọ, and Ọládèjọ Òkédìjí, author of two brilliantly innovative crime thrillers (Àjà ló lẹrù, 1969, and Àgbàlagbà Akàn, 1971), as well as a more somber tragic novel of the destruction of a young boy who is relentlessly drawn into a life of crime in the underworld of Ifẹ (Atótó Arére, 1981). Notable also are Akínwùnmí Ìsòlá, whose university campus novel Ó le kú (1974) broke new ground in social setting and ambience; Afọlábí Ọlábímtán, author of several novels, including Kékeré Ẹkùn (1967), which deals with the conflicts arising from early Christian conversion in a small village, and Baba Rere! (1978), a contemporary satire on a corrupt big man; and Kólá Akínlàdé, prolific author of well-crafted detective stories such as Ta ló pa Ọmọ Ọba? (Who Killed the Prince’s Child?). These authors were all verbal stylists of a high order; they transformed the literary language, moving away from Fágúnwà’s rolling cadences to a more demotic, supple prose that successfully caught the accents of everyday life (2004, 368). While it may be misplaced to draw a comparison between Fágúnwà and Fálétí, there is a sense in which Fálétí’s demonstrates a more robust literary sensibility that goes beyond the allegorical into a realistic assessment of human relationship and sociality within the context of the Yorùbá cultural template. While Fágúnwà could not resist the influence of Christianity, and especially the allegorical motif of the journey in which humans encounter spiritual challenges (which John Bunyan’s Pilgrim Progress made popular), Fálétí is fundamentally a cultural connoisseur; a writer with a most intimate and dynamic understanding of the Yorùbá condition, especially in its conjunction with the political and sociocultural contexts of contemporary Nigeria. And we have Ọlátúndé Ọlátúnjí to thank for the deep exploration and interrogation of the fundamental poetic and literary nuances that Fálétí has left for us. In this essay, I will attempt to unearth the philosophical sensibility that undergirds Fálétí’s literary prowess, especially as demonstrated by his poems. Fálétí’s Philosophical Sensibility 61 Both the poets and the philosophers have always had one thing in common— the exploration of the possibilities that ideas and visions yield: As theoretical disciplines concerned with raising social consciousness, philosophy and literature engage in similar speculation about the good society and what is good for humanity. They influence thoughts about political currents and conditions. They can, for instance, lead the reader to critical reflections on the type of leaders suitable for a given society and on the degree of civic consciousness exercised by the people in protecting their rights. Philosophy and literature, equally, offer critical evaluation of existing and possible forms of political arrangements, beliefs and practices. In addition, they provide insights into political concepts and justification for normative judgements about politics and society. They also create awareness of possibilities for change (Okolo 2007, 1). Compared to Ọlátúnjí’s exploratory unraveling of Fálétí’s poetry, my objective is to enlist Fálétí as a poet that has not been given his due as one who is sensitive to the requirements of political philosophy and its objective of ensuring the imagination of a society that is properly ordered according to the imperatives of justice.

The debate about diagnoses and treatment of attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) in children continue to range on between the developmental and biological perspectives. While there is increasing evidence that support the biological susceptibility of the disorder, a number of researches also emphasized the significant effect of environment on the syndrome. This study used developmental perspectives to evaluate and bring together various bio-psychosocial factors that impact on children diagnosed with ADHD. The study explored and integrated the existing and advancing study on ADHD to a more refined pattern that embraced developmental perspectives. The study also discussed how the linkage in childhood ADHD fits within the developmental psychopathology perspective. The study revealed that ADHD as a developmental disorder is influenced by prenatal, biological and psychosocial environmental risk factors, and suggested that better understanding of genomic susceptibilities, family environment and parental characteristics would transform the pathway for development of ADHD in children.

This chapter sketches the life and career of Lois McMaster Bujold. Lois McMaster was born in Columbus, Ohio, on November 2, 1949, the third child and only daughter of Robert Charles McMaster and Laura Gerould McMaster. She began reading science fiction when she was nine years old. Her favorite writers in the field included Poul Anderson and James H. Schmitz. In 1971, she married John Bujold, whom she had met at a science fiction convention two years earlier. Bujold's first professional sale was a short story, “Barter,” which was published in Twilight Zone Magazine in spring 1985. It was later bought, adapted, and mutilated almost beyond recognition for the TV series Tales from the Darkside. She sold her first three books, Shards of Honor, The Warrior's Apprentice, and Ethan of Athos to Baen Books, which were released in paperback, in 1986, at three-month intervals, in June, August, and December.

When launching the Alliance for Progress in 1961, John F. Kennedy promised that this new development program would transform Latin America into a community of modern, prosperous, and politically stable allies. Yet, when Richard Nixon ended the program ten years later, there was more evidence of broken promises, political coups, and covert military operations than of transformative cooperation. Sandwiched between Kennedy’s and Nixon’s presidencies, Lyndon Johnson’s marked a transformative era in inter-American relations as Johnson and his chief inter-American aide, Thomas C. Mann, struggled to deliver on their predecessors’ bold promises while grappling with the demands of Cold War national security. In this first in-depth study of Johnson, Mann, and Latin America in the 1960s, Thomas Tunstall Allcock provides a nuanced and balanced assessment of two often maligned yet hugely influential policy makers during this vital period. In demonstrating that Johnson and Mann were New Dealers, keen to operate as good neighbors and support Latin American development and regional integration, Tunstall Allcock illuminates the difficulties faced by US modernization efforts. Ranging from domestic challenges from both right and left to a series of military and political crises including riots in the Panama Canal Zone and the threat of “another Cuba” in the Dominican Republic, these difficulties would be handled with wildly varying degrees of success. In Tunstall Allcock’s account, Johnson and Mann emerge as complex, rounded figures struggling to overcome a host of challenges and their own limitations even as the flaws and shortcomings of US policy are laid bare.

Abstract Today, it is hard to see how a vital theatre and a necessary one can be other than out of tune with society—not seeking to celebrate the accepted values, but to challenge them. (Brook, The Empty Space (1968), p. 150) For about fifteen years after 1968, this challenge was extended throughout English theatre by a generation of writers including Edward Bond, David Hare, Howard Brenton, David Edgar, Howard Barker, John McGrath, and Trevor Griffiths. Most of them were strongly influenced by the emergence of the counter-culture in the late 1960s, by the new theatrical possibilities it encouraged, and above all by the ‘great watershed’, as Howard Brenton called it, of the near-revolution in Paris in the summer of 1968 (Trussler (ed.), p. 96).

This chapter focuses on more works of Barber that are dedicated to significant people, places, or events. Wondrous Love was written for the inauguration of the new organ at the Christ Episcopal Church in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. A piano piece, Nocturne, “an homage to John Field,” was premiered by John Browning; infused with elements of Chopin and Debussy, the piece more aptly displays Barber’s own melodic penchants. The chapter also describes Barber’s collaboration with his close friend and former lover Menotti, founder of the Festival dei due Mondi in Spoleto, Italy, for which the couple produced the short opera A Hand of Bridge. The gift of an organ to the Philadelphia Orchestra from Mary Curtis Bok Zimbalist led Barber to create Toccata Festiva, premiered by Paul Callaway. And finally, Die Natali, for a full orchestra, dedicated to Serge and Natalie Koussevitzky, using Christmas carols as thematic material for an ingenious fabric of harmonically colored contrapuntal variations, was performed by the Boston Symphony under Charles Munch and later by the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy, representing some reconciliation of what had been an uneasy relationship.

For the opening week of the new Philharmonic Hall at New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in 1962, Barber composed a piano concerto in honor of the 100th anniversary of his publisher. The concerto was tailored to the technical prowess and individual style of John Browning, reflecting the Russian influence of his piano teacher Rosina Lhévinne. The second movement was a reworking of an earlier piece, Elegy, written for Manfred Ibel, a young art student and amateur flute player, to whom Barber dedicated his piano concerto. This chapter details Barber’s compositional process and influences for each movement of the concerto and describes the enthusiastic reception of the debut performance. Nearing completion of the concerto, Barber was invited to Russia as the first American composer ever to attend the biennial Congress of Soviet Composers, where he freely discussed his compositional philosophy and methods. For the concerto, Barber won his second Pulitzer Prize and the Annual Award of the Music Critics Circle of New York. His second composition for the opening season of Lincoln Center was Andromache’s Farewell, for soprano and orchestra. Based on a scene from Euripides’s The Trojan Women, the piece displayed deep emotional expression and striking imagery. With a superior opera singer, Martina Arroyo, singing the solo part, the success of Andromache’s Farewell presaged Barber’s opera Antony and Cleopatra.

En un período de intensos quince años entre 1954 y 1969 se fragua un cambio de paradigma de los modelos conservativos definidos por el movimiento moderno hasta los sistemas auto-organizados. Esta profunda transformación puede ser explicada a partir de dos líneas paralelas: por un lado por las declaraciones de intenciones o manifiestos que surgen en oposición a los sistemas cerrados y por otra por las influencias de las teorías científicas de la época. Seis manifiestos con una cierta condición interdisciplinar, debido a su contagio con campos como la biología, la química, la cibernética o la autoorganización, cambiarán el rumbo de este nuevo urbanismo emergente: el Manifiesto de Doorn (1954), el Manifiesto de la Open Form de Oskar Hansen (1959), los Principios de la Urbanismo Móvil de Yona Friedman (1959), el Manifiesto Metabolista (1960), la arquitectura aditiva de Jorn Utzon (1958-1970) y finalmente el provocativo manifiesto-experimento "Non-Plan: An Experiment in Freedom" de Paul Barker, Peter Hall, Reyner Banham y Cedric Price. During a vivid period of fifteen years between 1954 and 1969, there’s a paradigm shift from conservative models defined by the modern movement to self-organizing systems. Two parallel lines can explain this profound transformation: on one side, by the statements or manifestos in opposition to closed systems and, on the other, by the influences of scientific theories at the time. Six manifestos with a certain interdisciplinary condition, associated to fields such as biology, chemistry, cybernetics or self-organization, change the direction of this new emerging urbanism: The Doorn Manifesto (1954), Oskar Hansen’s Open Form Manifesto (1959), Yona Friedman’s Principles of Mobile Urbanism (1959), the Metabolist Manifesto (1960), Additive architecture by Jorn Utzon (1958-1970) and finally the provocative experiment-manifesto "Non-Plan: An Experiment in Freedom” by Paul Barker, Peter Hall, Reyner Banham and Cedric Price
