Since the advent of the film art form, the author finds, cinema and dance have engaged in an al-most unbroken courtship, each appropriating techniques and styles from the object of affec-tion. A hybrid form, video dance, has resulted; its recording me-dium may be thought of as its site. The architecture of this site provides a distinctive context for the critique of dances created for it. The collaborative process nec-essary to realize the potential of video dance is found to require a reconstruction of the dancing body as unencumbered by the re-straints of time and space.

ResumenLa novela inglesa de los últimos años deriva desde la auto/biografía y la metafi cción historiográfi ca hacia teorías de historia espacial, o personajes que responden a las características de pilgrims o nómades. Esta diversifi cación de voces y lugares entra de lleno en los postulados de la intertextualidad y la transnacionalidad cultural, y verifi ca la “disemiNación”. Obras como To the Hermitage o White Teeth establecen los puentes críticos y temáticos que permiten a la literatura inglesa seguir siendo un espacio sincré- tico de fusión y expansión plurinacional: los personajes devienen en un lugar múltiple de infl uencias y vivencias, y se mueven en el espacio y el tiempo para crear la dialogía intertextual que marca la continuidad de la experiencia literaria inglesa.Palabras clave: Metafi cción historiográfi ca, intertextualidad, disemiNación, espacio.AbstractIn the last few years, the English novel moved from auto/biography and historiographic metafi ction towards theories dealing with a spatial history and characters that respond to the defi nition of either pilgrims or nómades. This diversifi cation of voice and place narrates intertextuality and transnational discourses, and validates the possibilities of “dissemiNation”. Novels such as Malcolm Bradbury’s To the Hermitage or Zadie Smith’s White Teeth establish the conditions that make contemporary English Literature a place for synchretic fusion and plurinational expansion: characters become a site for multiple infl uences and experiences, and they move through time and space creating the intertextual dialogue that confers continuity to the literary development in English.Key words: Historiographic metafi ction, intertextuality, dissemiNation, space.

A specifically Germanic tradition of opera was renewed in Zimmermann’s Die Soldaten, an ambitious serial construction saddled with an antiwar moral. Zimmermann approached the problem of tradition by recasting opera as an inherently monstrous, pluralistic, and multivalent art form. Rather than steering around Wagner, Berg, and the modernists who had problematized opera, Zimmermann regarded them as a legacy worth confronting. He programmatically addressed modern music’s relationship to history, referring to old forms as Berg had done and incorporating new influences in an updated Gesamtkunstwerk. He positioned opera as a site for the serialist realization of his concept of the “spherical shape of time” (Kugelgestalt der Zeit). His allusions shaped the work’s formal structure and characterization, the rigidity of which in turn suggested an analogy to the inevitability of societal oppression. Archival documents show Zimmermann negotiating a balance between serialist control and Expressionist verve.

Translation has long been conceptualized in metaphors of space, whereas its temporal aspect is relatively underexplored. However, recently scholars have argued that translation does not only carry across but also carries forward, i.e., texts survive through time. The aim of this study is to examine how time and space are manipulated in translation, with a particular focus on how the two dimensions interact with each other. To achieve this aim, a memorial museum has been chosen for investigation. A museum, as a site to display dislocated objects from the past, constructs a unique temporal-spatial dramaturgy. This study argues that shifts of temporal-spatial frames in museum translations have a significant impact on how a nation’s past, present and future are perceived by target readers.

Analytical System

n order to promote access to non-tonal music, the fusion of musical time and space may be considered as a point of departure. As a pre-analytical strategy, it relies on direct experience of the music as it is heard instead of on specialised music theoretical knowledge. The music of Hans Roosenschoon is used to illustrate five ways in which the fusion of time and space manifests itself on a metaphorical level, namely the integration of Western and African cultural spaces through music as a temporal art form, the blending of time and space in the music itself and the fusion of art music from the past with everyday life by electronic means. A true story from the South African past that combines with a visual image associated with Cape Town represents another version of fusing time and space, while on a metaphysical level past and present coalesce as melodic references to Schubert’s music are used to signify abstract ideas. Listening to music directly rather than through the filter of a rational analytical system helps to develop an appreciation of non-tonal music, a kind of music that is often regarded as inaccessible.

This chapter examines a new analytical paradigm called “Engaged Musicology” that allows for reading opera as an art form that has potential for being a site for critical inquiry, political activism, and social change. It is fleshed out in two real-life situations: a cutting-edge new production of Bizet’s Carmen (a Trans Carmen in prison) and a concert version performance of Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail. The potential of an engaged musicological practice allows old and new, standard and underrepresented narratives to be voiced in opera. Such a practice would both invite new audiences into the opera house and present traditional opera goers with new realities.

This chapter focuses on the short art film, a genre which emerged around 1950 to mediate the visual and plastic arts, often for international exchange. Danish films about national cultural heritage and the applied arts were the focus for state-sponsored film. These often circulated very widely: the production and distribution of Shaped by Danish Hands (Hagen Hasselbalch, 1948) and Thorvaldsen (Carl Th. Dreyer, 1949) are detailed as examples of Danish films seen by millions of international viewers. The chapter also highlights the artistry of the informational filmmakers themselves, as institutional practice: the principle that the director should have a ‘free hand’ to interpret the brief. An example of an alternative circuit for the screening of art films in Denmark is detailed: art film screening series at Thorvaldsen’s Museum. Debate about the extent to which state-sponsored filmmaking should pursue art and to what extent documentary itself was an art form marks the late 1950s, as changes in leadership and funding shift practice and priorities within Dansk Kulturfilm. The chapter ends with a discussion of one of the agency’s final productions, Herning 65, which captures a site-specific artwork in a factory in the town of Herning.

“Comic art does possess the potential for the most serious and sophisticated literary and artistic expression, and we can only hope that future artists will bring the art form to full fruition” (176), prophesied Lawrence Abbott in 1986. It became true when Graphic Fiction emerged as a hybrid genre and entered into the academia. It is a meaningful interaction of words, image panels, and typography. They have a long history dating back to cave paintings and Egyptian hieroglyphics. Though there are “more genetic similarities between the comic book and the graphic novel” (Sardesai 28), Graphic Novel has a unique approach to plot, narration, and theme. This new genre combines visual and verbal rhetoric and thus offers a hybrid form of reading. The use of blank spaces between image panels provides “imaginative interactivity” (Tabachnick 25), as the reader tends to fill in these blanks, imagining a good deal of action. Text boxes, speech bubbles, and thought bubbles streamline the narration and create a sense of interactivity in a reader. This paper records the history of Graphic Novel and makes an anatomy of it. It also enlists recent Graphic novels and major techniques employed in them.

the purpose of this paper is to articulate some of the ways in which australian sound practitioners are already designing sound in the public domain so that current trends and practices can be examined, compared and contrasted. this paper interrogates the new hybrid art form, public sound art, and the design processes associated with it as it occurs in public space in australia. the right to quiet has been defined as a public commons (franklin 1993). public space in australia is becoming increasingly sound designed. this article investigates the variety of approaches by sound artists and practitioners who have installed in public space through a representative sample of works drawn from the australian sound design project's online gallery and article, http://www.sounddesign.unimelb.edu.au, a site dedicated to the multimedia publishing of diverse sound designs installed in public space in australia, as well as its international outreach hearing place. works include permanent public and ephemeral sculptures, time-dense computerised sound installations, museum designs, exhibits in airports, art galleries, car parks, digital and interactive media exhibitions, and real-time virtual habitats on and off the web. the degree of interactivity in the sound-designed artworks varies greatly from work to work. stylistic features and design processes are identified in each work and compared and contrasted as a basis for examining the characteristics of the genre as a whole and its impact on the soundscape now and in the future.

As one of the masterpieces of Indian movies, “3 Idiots” uses its unique comedic art to point out social problems and reflect critical thinking from the outside to the inside. At the same time, it repeatedly uses story conflicts to strengthen the expression of the film’s core ideas. The plot combines a high-level singing and dancing art form with regional characteristics through a two-line narrative structure of time and space. The connotation and expression of the film complement each other, strengthen the viewing experience, and deepen the social and aesthetic value of the film.

The hemostatic response requires the tightly regulated interaction of the coagulation system, platelets, other blood cells and components of the vessel wall at a site of vascular injury. The dysregulation of this response may result in excessive bleeding if the response is impaired, and pathologic thrombosis with vessel occlusion and tissue ischemia if the response is overly robust. Extensive studies over the past decades have sought to unravel the regulatory mechanisms that coordinate the multiple biochemical and cellular responses in time and space to ensure that an optimal response to vascular damage is achieved. We and others have observed that platelet activation at a site of injury in vivo is heterogeneous, with a gradient of platelet activation extending from the site of injury. Platelets immediately adjacent to the injured vessel wall are densely packed and fully activated forming a stably adherent core region. This stable core is overlaid by a shell of less activated platelets that are more loosely packed. Genetic and pharmacologic studies have shown that the formation of these regions is dependent on partially overlapping gradients of distinct platelet agonists, with ADP serving as a mediator of platelet recruitment and retention in the shell region, and thrombin necessary for full platelet activation in the core region. The distribution of platelet agonists and other plasma solutes in time and space is in turn determined in part by their transport in the plasma microenvironments that evolve as platelets accumulate. Platelet mass consolidation and the subsequent narrowing of the gaps between platelets are important mechanisms by which plasma solutes are retained within the platelet mass to promote platelet activation. Consolidation also regulates the escape of plasma and platelet-derived bioactive molecules into the extravascular space. These studies and others examining how cellular, biochemical and physical factors are integrated to shape the optimal response to vascular injury in vivo will be discussed.
