Resisting the Building Project of Whiteness
Willie James Jennings contends that the goal of whiteness is the creation and preservation of segregated space. For Jennings, whiteness, as well as upholding perceived notions of white normativity, is a way of being in the world, an imagined reality made real by our movement in physical space which destroys the identity-forming connections between communities and land. In this article I bring together Pope Francis’s reflections on the globalised …
From Content to Context
REVEALSthe ways in which practitioners negotiate the physical, mental, financial and social strains that affect their professional and personal realities.Through this, the wider scope and enduring impacts of sound work become apparent.'Film sound practitioners' are defined here as those who perform a diversity of sound roles, including location recording, Foley, sound design, sound effects (sfx) and dialogue editing and mixing.Film sound professi…
Archival resonances
This article examines the relationship between the postproduction sound practitioner and their library of sound files. The paucity of phenomenological accounts of digital library use means there is opportunity to use theories of embodiment as well as existing understandings of archives in order to reframe understandings of the digital library, particularly in a film sound production context. To abstract the sound library from embodiment is to mis…
Sonic Space and Echoes of the Flesh
This essay argues that the cinematic experience for audiences be reconsidered as a cinesomatic experience. Theorists such as Vivian Sobchack (1992; 2000; 2005) and Jennifer Barker (2009) have done much to conceptualise and theorise a sensory, embodied experience of cinema. These scholars, mainly drawing from either a Merleau-Pontian phenomenology or a Spinozist/Deleuzian theory of affect, have led the wave of new writings probing the ways in whic…
Why disadvantaged older adults engage in community consultation
Community consultation is increasingly favoured as a means of ensuring that health services adequately meet population needs, yet research, has highlighted the frequency of inadequate and tokenistic consultation. Our aim was to address the gap in understanding of the mechanisms of successful community consultation by being the first study to examine consultation events for older adults in one of the most deprived local authority areas in the UK. …
Trends in Family Space/Time, Conflict, and Solidarity
This article treats aspects of family life for which there are comparable data from students at three or more points over the 75‐year period 1924–1999, beginning with the 1924 Middletown high school surveys and drawing on the replications of 1977, 1989, and 1999. We reassess the Lynds' positioning of families in a trajectory of space and time that emphasized family decentering or dis‐integration, and that assumed that technological changes extend…
Contributions of incidence and case fatality to mortality from bladder cancer in the south Thames Regions
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to assess the individual contributions of incidence and case fatality to variations in bladder cancer mortality between districts in the South Thames Regions. DESIGN--The standardised mortality ratios for bladder cancer were calculated for the health districts in the South Thames Regions using data from the Thames Cancer Registry. The results were compared with the standardised registration ratios, used as a measureme…
