Theater 38.3 : Censorship and Performance

Censorship and Performance, edited by Tom Sellar, examines the politics of censorship, and continuing contests over the ‘right’ to claim theatrical and cultural stages for controversial forms of social and self representation, at the start of the twenty-first century. In bringing this collection together, Sellar has taken a broad-based approach to the concept of censorship in theatrical performance—and, indeed, to the concept of theatrical performance itself. Sellar and his contributors clearly accept that surveillance, suppression and restriction of specific forms of representation is a complex, culturally specific phenomenon. In this sense, Censorship and Performance addresses direct political control over content, as well as thornier arguments about media controversy, moral panic, and the politics of self-censorship amongst artists and arts organisations.

"Men at play : masculinities in Australian theater since the 1950s" -- By Jonathan Bollen, Adrian Kiernander and Bruce Parr

Adopting a thematic rather than chronological arrangement, this co-authored book surveys representations of men and masculinity in post-war Australian theater. Its searching and sophisticated analyses draw upon playscripts, critical records and archival material, including screen versions of stage productions. The study is organized around two distinct periods of Australian theater history: the 1950s to 1970, during which time a national theatremovement flourished, and the mid-1980s onward.Whilst some attention is given to different genres, discussion centers primarily on realist works from the mainstream. Several plays usually omitted from orthodox theater histories, such as Barry Pree’s A Fox in the Night (1959), are given detailed treatments.

The politics of technology adoption : Water metering in Progressive Era Chicago

This paper examines the interactions between knowledge and power in the adoption of technologies central to municipal water supply plans, specifically investigating decisions in Progressive Era Chicago regarding water meters. The invention and introduction into use of the reliable water meter early in the Progressive Era allowed planners and engineers to gauge water use, and enabled communities willing to invest in the new infrastructure to allocate costs for provision of supply to consumers relative to use. In an era where efficiency was so prized and the role of technocratic expertise was increasing, Chicago’s continued failure to adopt metering (despite levels of per capita consumption nearly twice that of comparable cities and acknowledged levels of waste nearing half of system production) may indicate that the underlying characteristics of the city’s political system and its elite stymied the implementation of metering technologies as in Smith’s (1977) comparative study of nineteenth century armories. Perhaps, as with Flyvbjerg’s (1998) study of the city of Aalborg, the powerful know what they want and data will not interfere with their conclusions: if the data point to a solution other than what is desired, then it must be that the data are wrong. Alternatively, perhaps the technocrats failed adequately to communicate their findings in a language which the political elite could understand, with the failure lying in assumptions of scientific or technical literacy rather than with dissatisfaction in outcomes (Benveniste 1972). When examined through a historical institutionalist perspective, the case study of metering adoption lends itself to exploration of larger issues of knowledge and power in the planning process: what governs decisions regarding knowledge acquisition, how knowledge and power interact, whether the potential to improve knowledge leads to changes in action, and, whether the decision to overlook available knowledge has an impact on future decisions.

O Direito Urbanístico e o controle da criminalidade no espaço urbano: as lições da Escola de Chicago a partir da experiência do Favela-Bairro na cidade do Rio de Janeiro

O planejamento urbano no Brasil passou por diversas fases de sua construção no estabelecimento do controle do espaço através dos instrumentos de regulamentação do uso do solo, mas marcado por intensa desigualdade, discriminação e exclusão social e de desconsideração das camadas menos favorecidas da população quando beneficiárias das melhorias sociais que a cidade pode oferecer. Esta tendência mudou quando na década de 1990, introduziram-se as premissas dos planos diretores e da inclusão e participação popular na formulação das políticas da cidade. O entendimento em questão busca contribuir para produção e adequação de instrumentos ou sugestões de instrumentos do direito urbanístico à construção de espaços urbanos públicos seguros baseados a princípio na busca das causas endógenas oriundas do próprio ambiente urbano, enfatizadas no presente trabalho por meio da ecologia humana e das causas exógenas fruto de características independentes do ambiente urbano, objeto de estudo das ciêcias criminais, por meio da contribuição da Escola de Chicago, através de seu ecologismo social, será procendente a análise das estatísticas que demonstram a distribuição da violência no espaço localizado das intervenções do programa favela-bairro e quais proposições podem ser formuladas no âmbito do planejamento urbano e do direito urbanístico e se podem contribuir para o combate ou controle da criminalidade.
