This thesis explores the practice of silence: specifically the silence engaged in the creative process of choreographing a hybrid dance performance and, to discover the methodologies and significance of silence used in this form of dance. The choreography expresses my research question; how can I create a hybrid dance performance through the choreographic ‘Practice of Silence’? The methodology of this practice-led research is that of Silencing, which I can best describe as the quietening of the body and the mind through meditative practices, to discover the manifestation of the ‘performance of silence’. The methodology is supported by a phenomenological hermeneutic study together with a rhizomatic arrangement of the ongoing insights through choreographic exploration. Within this structure a dance performance and a written exegesis make up the thesis and each part supports the other. The dance work is a solo piece presented as the output of reflections from journals kept by me, as the choreographer, after time spent in the rehearsal studio experimenting with dance movements following periods of meditative silence. I set out to carefully describe the feelings and thoughts of my dance body, the awareness of how it feels to move following studio practise and reflective writing, using silence as the creative source in order to manipulate time and space. My background is that of a choreographer and dancer of Asian dance genre (Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Joget and Terinai) and martial arts (Kalaripayattu, Silat, Tae Kwon Do). As part of my exploration into the realms of silence I reviewed the practices of meditation and self-reflection in dance. I am not alone as there are other researchers (Bright, 2010; Christensen & Weinman, 2014; Denesha, 2014; Lalitaraja, 2012) and choreographers (Lin, Songs of the Wanderers, 1999) investigating in this field of inquiry. In my search for literature to the hermeneutical approach to this study I have looked into the findings of dance researchers (Andresen, 2011; DeLeon, 2005; McNamara, 1999) who have sought to discover the nature and importance of embodied knowledge in choreography and performance. The findings of other dance researchers demonstrate the acknowledgment of mind body centering techniques in the choreographic process, however there are occasions the notion of silence tends to be undervalued and may require greater appreciation for its contribution to my own creative journey. Nevertheless I found there is an expanding body of research and a growing number of adherents who are advocating the benefits of contemplative techniques across all modes of learning because it allows the individual time to process what they have learnt and transform it into what they believe and therefore become their ‘knowing’.

Like music, art is a universal language. Although looking at works of art is a pleasurable enough experience, to appreciate them fully requires certain skills and knowledge." --Carol Strickland, from the introduction to The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern * This heavily illustrated crash course in art history is revised and updated. This second edition of Carol Strickland's The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern offers an illustrated tutorial of prehistoric to post-modern art from cave paintings to video art installations to digital and Internet media. * Featuring succinct page-length essays, instructive sidebars, and more than 300 photographs, The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern takes art history out of the realm of dreary textbooks, demystifies jargon and theory, and makes art accessible-even at a cursory reading. * From Stonehenge to the Guggenheim and from Holbein to Warhol, more than 25,000 years of art is distilled into five sections covering a little more than 200 pages.

The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker. He has been reporting on economic crises since the 1980's when he was with ABC News. His film In Debt We Trust warned of the economic meltdown in 2006. He has since written three books on the subject including Plunder: Investigating Our Economic Calamity (Cosimo Books, 2008), and The Crime Of Our Time: Why Wall Street Is Not Too Big to Jail (Disinfo Books, 2011), a companion to his latest film Plunder The Crime Of Our Time.

This report reviews engineering's importance to human, economic, social and cultural development and in addressing the UN Millennium Development Goals. Engineering tends to be viewed as a national issue, but engineering knowledge, companies, conferences and journals, all demonstrate that it is as international as science. The report reviews the role of engineering in development, and covers issues including poverty reduction, sustainable development, climate change mitigation and adaptation. It presents the various fields of engineering around the world and is intended to identify issues and challenges facing engineering, promote better understanding of engineering and its role, and highlight ways of making engineering more attractive to young people, especially women.--Publisher's description.

The past is what happened. History is what we remember and write about that past, the narratives we craft to make sense out of our memories and their sources. But what does it mean to look at the past and to remember that "nothing happened"? Why might we feel as if "nothing is the way it was"? This book transforms these utterly ordinary observations and redefines "Nothing" as something we have known and can remember. "Nothing" has been a catch-all term for everything that is supposedly uninteresting or is just not there. It will take some—possibly considerable—mental adjustment before we can see Nothing as Susan A. Crane does here, with a capital "n." But Nothing has actually been happening all along. As Crane shows in her witty and provocative discussion, Nothing is nothing less than fascinating. When Nothing has changed but we think that it should have, we might call that injustice; when Nothing has happened over a long, slow period of time, we might call that boring. Justice and boredom have histories. So too does being relieved or disappointed when Nothing happens—for instance, when a forecasted end of the world does not occur, and millennial movements have to regroup. By paying attention to how we understand Nothing to be happening in the present, what it means to "know Nothing" or to "do Nothing," we can begin to ask how those experiences will be remembered. Susan A. Crane moves effortlessly between different modes of seeing Nothing, drawing on visual analysis and cultural studies to suggest a new way of thinking about history. By remembering how Nothing happened, or how Nothing is the way it was, or how Nothing has changed, we can recover histories that were there all along.

This book vividly traces the genealogy of modern womanhood in the encounters between Koreans and American Protestant missionaries in the early twentieth century, during Korea's colonization by Japan. Hyaeweol Choi shows that what it meant to be a "modern" Korean woman was deeply bound up in such diverse themes as Korean nationalism, Confucian gender practices, images of the West and Christianity, and growing desires for selfhood. Her historically specific, textured analysis sheds new light on the interplay between local and global politics of gender and modernity.
