La MaMa Experimental Theatre – A Lasting Bridge Between Cultures The Dialogue with European Theater in the Years 1961–1975

La MaMa Experimental Theatre – A Lasting Bridge Between Cultures The Dialogue with European Theater in the Years 1961–1975

This book focuses on the role of La MaMa Experimental Theatre within Avant-garde theater during the 1960s and 1970s. This study investigates the involvement of the Off-Off Broadway circuit in the Avant-garde experimentations both in the United States (New York specifically) and in Europe. This exploration shows the two-way influence – between Europe and the United States – testified by documents gathered in years of archival research. In this relevant artistic exchange La MaMa (and Ellen Stewart as its founder and artistic director) emerges as a key element. La MaMa’s companies brought to Europe the American culture and the New York underground culture while their members learnt European training techniques by attending workshops or taking part in the research of Eugenio Barba Jerzy Grotowski and Peter Brook and brought their principles back to the United States. This book goes through a chronological path that presents some key cases of collaboration between the above-mentioned European masters and some La MaMa’s artists and companies: Tom O ’Horgan and La MaMa Repertory Troupe the Open Theatre Andrei Serban and The Great Jones Repertory Company La MaMa Plexus. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in theater and performance studies. | La MaMa Experimental Theatre – A Lasting Bridge Between Cultures The Dialogue with European Theater in the Years 1961–1975

Peasants Negotiating a Global Policy Space La Vía Campesina in the Committee on World Food Security

Peasants Negotiating a Global Policy Space La Vía Campesina in the Committee on World Food Security

Being the public voice of over 180 member organisations across nearly 90 countries La Vía Campesina the global peasant movement has planted itself firmly on the international scene. This book explores the internationalisation of the movement with a specific focus on the engagement of peasants in the processes of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS). Since the reform of the CFS in 2009 civil society actors engage in the policy processes of this UN Committee from a self-designed and autonomous global Civil Society Mechanism. The author sheds light on the strategies tensions debates and reconfigurations arising from rural actors moving between every day struggles in the fields and those of the UN arena. Whereas most theories in the dominant literature on social movements expect them to either disappear or institutionalise in a predetermined pattern the book presents empirical evidence that La Vía Campesina is building a much more sophisticated model. The direct participation of representatives of peasant organisations in the CFS is highlighted as a pioneering example of building a more complex inclusive and democratic foundation for global policy-making. Foreword by Olivier De Schutter United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food (2008-2014). | Peasants Negotiating a Global Policy Space La Vía Campesina in the Committee on World Food Security

The Viola da Gamba

The Viola da Gamba

The viola da gamba was a central instrument in European music from the late 15th century well into the late 18th. In this comprehensive study Bettina Hoffmann offers both an introduction to the instrument - its construction technique and history - for the non-specialist interweaving this information with a wealth of original archival scholarship that experts will relish. The book begins with a description of the instrument and here Hoffmann grapples with the complexity of various names applied to this and related instruments. Following two chapters on the instrument's construction and ancestry the core of the book is given to a historical and geographical survey of the instrument from its origins into the classical period. The book closes with a look at the revival of interest in the 19th and 20th centuries.

La Casa De Mis Suenos Dreams Of Home In A Transnational Migrant Community

La Casa De Mis Suenos Dreams Of Home In A Transnational Migrant Community

Unable to secure a full livelihood in either Mexico or the United States migrants from the rural village of Napizaro in central Mexico must extend their families and their community across the border. The lives of Napizarenos demonstrate the difficulties of reproduction in a transnational context calling into question the way we think about households families and communities. La Casa de Mis Sueños examines the efforts of villagers from Napízaro to build their dream houses in Mexico through participation in transnational migration. New house designs reshape the spatial ordering of everyday life and are part of the recreation of social space in a changing economic and moral landscape. These changes have engendered conflict as migration usurps traditional routes to prosperity and success and as migrant houses become both the locus of growing consumerism and a site for heavily charged and contested ideas about family and community. This book is more than an engaging account of the realities that pervade one small community. It is an examination of the ways in which global processes penetrate the local the daily and the personal in rural Mexico. Above all it asserts the power of place as constitutive of the ways in which people create meaning in their lives. | La Casa De Mis Suenos Dreams Of Home In A Transnational Migrant Community

Dam Safety Management / Gestion de la Sécurité des Barrages Pre operational phases of the dam life cycle / Phases de conception constructio

Dam Safety Management / Gestion de la Sécurité des Barrages Pre operational phases of the dam life cycle / Phases de conception constructio

Dam Safety Management is a major concern during the entire lifetime cycle of a dam scheme. This is particularly true for the operational phase of the scheme that represents by far the longest period in its lifetime cycle. Bulletin 154 presented a general approach and concepts to be applied to dam operation. The current Bulletin 175 extends the developed concepts to all phases preceding the operational phase. Many risks associated with the operation of existing dams have their origins in other phases preceding the actual operation. Although there are numerous ICOLD Bulletins addressing technical aspects of planning design construction and commissioning of dams there is not a single Bulletin which covers the subject in a comprehensive manner. The current document is a first attempt to capture all relevant dam safety aspects in all preoperational phases by systematically characterizing the actors involved their roles the activities and complex interactions present in different phases of the dam lifecycle. An Overarching Safety Management System is specifically developed that can be applied to all actors involved. La gestion de la sécurité des barrages est une préoccupation majeure pendant tout le cycle de vie d'un projet de barrage. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour la phase opérationnelle du système qui représente de loin la période la plus longue de son cycle de vie. Le Bulletin 154 présente une approche générale et des concepts à appliquer à l'exploitation des barrages. Le Bulletin 175 actuel étend les concepts développés à toutes les phases précédant la phase d'exploitation. De nombreux risques associés à l'exploitation des barrages existants ont leur origine dans d'autres phases précédant l'exploitation proprement dite. Bien qu'il existe de nombreux bulletins ICOLD traitant des aspects techniques de la planification de la conception de la construction et de la mise en service des barrages il n'existe pas un seul bulletin qui couvre le sujet de manière exhaustive. Le document actuel est une première tentative de capturer tous les aspects pertinents de la sécurité des barrages dans toutes les phases pré-opérationnelles en caractérisant systématiquement les acteurs impliqués leurs rôles les activités et les interactions complexes présentes dans les différentes phases du cycle de vie du barrage. Un système global de gestion de la sécurité est spécifiquement développé et peut être appliqué à tous les acteurs impliqués. | Dam Safety Management / Gestion de la Sécurité des Barrages Pre operational phases of the dam life cycle / Phases de conception constructio

A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

In recent decades there has been an exponential increase in large hydroelectric plants in Brazil especially in the Amazon region. These large hydraulic structures impact the environment and the lives of people living in the places where they settle and require a special type of water governance. The dictatorial regime (1964-1985) created a standard for the construction of these great structures through an institutional and legal framework which benefited the Brazilian business elite but also through the creation of a popular imagination which shows itself lasting progress on the country's progress and development. The suspension of security the fragility of institutional environmental structures the disrespect for indigenous reserves the lack of clarity about the concept of affected population and the non-payment of fair compensation were identified as one of the main challenges for a democratic water governance in the country. In the late 1970s the Dam-Affected Movement (MAB) began its organization and is also studied in this research. The study is an important and insightful academic contribution to the understanding of the main bottlenecks of effective water governance in Brazil. | A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E
