Bird - ca. 1580, with later renovation German, Nuremberg “ The coveted qualities of both natural wonder (naturalia) and fine craftsmanship (artificialia) are embodied in this hollow vessel. In the 1500s, rock crystal was priced at its weight in gold. The material’s extreme hardness allows it to be worked—cut, carved, or drilled—without shattering, while at its finest, as here, it is luminous and transparent. Through artistry, a pricey mass of heavy pure quartz has here been transformed into a seemingly weightless bird, complete with beady eyes of ruby and a collar and legs of gilded silver.”

Est ce que l immigration massive  va provoquer des changements radicaux ?

Introduction

Depuis les années 60 , la France a accueilli de nombreux migrants d’Afrique. Au départ c’était pour des raisons économiques. Selon l'universitaire Jean-Louis Harouel, « cet arrêt du Conseil d'État( le regroupement familial ) a été l'acte fondateur de la transformation de l'immigration de travail en immigration de colonisation.” [1]

Terrorisme islamique

Le terrorisme musulman s’intensifie en France  pendant les années après 2010. Souvent (voir en majorité ?) c’est perpétré par des français d’origine d’Afrique.

Le Bataclan n'est pour moi qu'un prémice de la violence à venir . Le futur sera bien pire. https://ledeclindelafrance-blog.tum [...] -attentats

100 000 personnes menaçant de mort/décapitations Mila à cause d'une critique de l'islam est bien révélateur pour moi de quelque chose de vraiment inquiétant pour le futur. [2]  

Dans le 93 , une libraire Marie Neige Sardin, s’est fait agressée,harcelée pendant des années

Le cas de Marie Neige Sardin pourrait très bien représenté le futur des européens en France. Aujourd’hui elle ne peut pas vivre normalement au Bourget. Elle a été agressée 34 fois en 10 ans[3]. Ses agresseurs ont rarement été punis.

Extrait du blog:  

entravée par des menottes très serrées durant près de deux heures aux urgences d'un hôpital du 93 sous les yeux de la population locale, essuyant ainsi insultes, coups bas et sans doute le pire, la vision de deux africains m'urinant dessus cachés aux yeux des soignants par les uniformes. Les policiers composant ce commissariat étaient majoritairement black-beur.

Futur de la France ?

Est ce que la police va ressembler a celle du 93 dans le futur ?

« Parce que le 93 offre l’image de ce que pourrait devenir la France dans un futur pas si lointain »

[4]

Beaucoup de personnes ne veulent travailler dans le 93 semble il pourquoi ?

Est ce souhaitable de vouloir la France devenir un vaste 93 ?

Jigsaw Piece’s Don’t put your son on Stage Mrs Brown A look at the Representation of Disability in the Arts  The Extended Edition

Introduction

Hello There Ben Brown here one of the aims of the Tolerance project is campaigning for disabled people to be represented better in the media this includes theatre TV Radio Cinema etc the BBC announced in the last few weeks of 2019 a raft of new projects to try achieve this aim you can read about it here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-50631991 so it made good sense to me to bring this blog forward

Then not long after this I read that a study in America had just been published saying that viewers would like to see better representation of people with disabilities on the shows they watched from this article in the LA times https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2019-09-17/disability-representation-study-ruderman-family-foundation

This was followed by another article in another American publication called Deadline that the American TV Station CBS would CBS has also agreed to audition people with disabilities for its future shows see here https://deadline.com/2019/06/cbs-ruder-family-foundation-actors-disabilities-audition-1202635630/

This blog started as an idea called Disability on the Box looking at how disability was represented on our television screens in the process of writing it and researching it the article was revised quite a few times in this final revised version I decided to open it  up to all the arts and not just Television Special Thanks go out to Ruth Sharpe who helped me edit the piece all those years ago and to Gemma Blagbourgh for the short interview.

The late, great writer, Douglas Adams, once said that good ideas and old ideas don’t die, they just gather dust on the shelf and this article is living proof of that. I have always wanted to write an article on disabled people in the arts  and my fourth attempt (what your reading now) will at last be seen by a wider audience. So the old saying if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again is true in this case. I first wrote about disabled people in television in a piece for very short-lived publication called, In Ya Face, a publication aimed at young people in the mid 90s. I used the subject again for a unpublished article I wrote in 2001, which looked at how the popular television series, Doctor Who, approached the subject of disabilityduring its first 30 years on television and beyond.

This article revisits those last two pieces, as well as other areas and asks has the way disabled people been represented on television and film got worse or better in the last few years?

Television and Theatre

I don’t know about you, but I love a great night in front of the television  and watch a variety of programmes  from soaps to quizzes, as well as documentaries, but I have started to notice something of a gap in my television viewing - why is there a lack of disabled actors on television these days? Disabled men and women have been excellently represented in other areas: for example we see disabled people in quizzes like Eggheads and Mastermind; comedy shows like  the brilliant, The Last Leg, on Channel 4; reality shows like the Undatables and Born to be Different. The articles featured in the links below talk about reality TV shows like Big Brother and how they leading the way in portraying real disabled people on our television sets the other looks at the undateables and what it says about disabled people  http://www.dailylife.com.au/news-and-views/dl-opinion/my-kitchen-rules-does-reality-tv-do-a-better-job-of-depicting-people-with-disability-20150130-132brx.html as well as http://disabilityhorizons.com/2014/01/the-undateables-whats-it-doing-for-disabled-people/

Talking about the Undateables its a great show its good that it shows people with a disability can have a love life too my only problem with the show is the title just because I am disabled does not make me undesirable to the opposite sex. Channel 4 has made great strides with its disability programming particularity in the area of disability sport I would love to see more of it all year round if possible the only problem with me is the title of the coverage  when it comes to channel 4s otherwise excellent para sport coverage just because bits of my body don’t does not make me superhuman here is a blog written by someone discussing the same subject

http://www.visualisetrainingandconsultancy.com/disabled-people-superhuman-simeon-wakely/

Not just that we need to see more disabled role models and they need to be on the TV all year round not just brought out for special occasions see  http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/jan-shure/yes-disability-sucks-but-_b_14634242.html and https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/oct/28/disabled-people-movie-tv-becoming-bulletproof?CMP=share_btn_tw as well as this http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/sophie-morgan/disabled-people-paralympics-tv_b_11693596.html?utm_content=bufferb5569&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

When it comes to acting and disability the talent is out there you just need to know where to find ir http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/disability-39002345 all disabilities need to be covered the above article points out there is a lack of people on television with learning disabilities   http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/sarah-gordy/learning-disability-on-screen_b_15043028.html?utm_content=buffer23cf7&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

When watching the television as a child, seeing disabled people on any programmes was a rare event. The first disabled person I ever saw on television was an actor called Nabil Shaban, who first appeared in the Dr Who story 'Vengeance on Varos' as Sil, a slug-like creature from the planet Thoros Beta. Nabil suffers from osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle-bone disease), but that didn’t matter as an 8-year old watching it at home, his performance to me was excellent and it seems the viewing public liked him as well. He was so popular as Sil that he came back a year later to play the same part in episodes 4 to 8  of the 14-part epic story,  'Trial of a Timelord'. You can read about Nabil Shaban here https://drwhointerviews.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/nabil-shaban-2000/ This wasn’t the first time Doctor Who had done this; profoundly deaf actor Tim Barlow played the part of Tyssan in the 1979 Doctor Who adventure 'Destiny of the Daleks'.

What’s that I hear you cry? Disabled people need good role models? There are good role models about - just look at the 2012 Paralympic Games; some excellent ones to choose there, so once again there is a gap in the market for a good role models on TV.

But, we hardly ever see good role models for disabled people or even disabled actors in dramas and when we do, they tend to fall into two categories; firstly, the disabled person, who has the long-term disability and is a wife beater or murderer; or secondly, the other side of the coin, where a nice non-disabled person suddenly finds himself in a wheelchair and has a complete personality transplant. Speaking as a person with a long-term disability, that’s not the way I am and if I was, I wouldn’t have many friends!

Another thing that annoys me is when a disabled part comes up in a drama, in most cases, although not all, the producers of the programme or film use a non-disabled actor. Now to me, this is just silly. If the part is written for a disabled person, it should given to a disabled person, because after all that person knows how that disability effects them in real life and would know how to portray it best on-screen. Hiring a non-disabled actor to play a disabled role on- screen is just lazy and the casting director has not thought about the pros and cons. Sure, it's quicker to hire a non-disabled actor, but I think you lose something. After all, a disabled person has to live being disabled every day, whereas a non-disabled actor, although still convincing, is playing at pretend and can go back to their normal life at the end of the day.

A recent Theatre play as part of the Manchester International festival came unstuck when they they cast a non disabled actor in a disability role because they said they couldn’t find anybody suitable they then came in for even more flack when the producers of they play attempted a rewrite without the disability role see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48952181 and https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48966317

But there are good news stories as well as bad ones this lady became the first disabled actress to win a Tony award for best I hope she is the first of many also look at the recent revival of the Peter Nichols a day in the death of Joe egg which always had a disabled character in it but until recently was alway played by a non disabled actor the play has done really well and I would love to someone at the BBC or Channel 4 remake it as a one off play or as a limited 6 part series

A Leading TV producer who works for ITV said recently  it's 'remiss and thoughtless' to make programmes without disabled people in them read what she had to say here   https://www.itv.com/news/granada/2019-04-10/its-remiss-and-thoughtless-for-producers-to-keep-making-programmes-without-disabled-people-in-them1/

One well known actress who starred in the American comedy drama the good place Janella Jamil was offered the role of a deaf character but turned it down because she felt it would be best offered to a deaf disabled actor instead the full interview is included here  https://themighty.com/2019/01/the-good-place-jameela-jamil-turned-down-deaf-role-disability-representation/

One report found that 95% of roles written for disabled charactors were given to non disabled actors  http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/disabled-actors-television-study-1201813686/ But its not just a case of getting disabled people on television the project has to be the right and the correct one the above articles looks at when is the right and wrong time to use disabled actors on film tv and in theatre http://www.disabilityartsonline.org.uk/disabled-actors-in-the-theatre

Ironically when myself and Gemma Blagbrough were making the original Tolerance film, it very nearly didn’t get made because the producer didn’t want to use disabled actors. In the end, two disabled roles were created for the film. Gemma Blagbrough played the cinema manager and I asked her what were her memories of her first and only acting role. Did she enjoy the experience?

Yes I really enjoyed the whole experience of working on the Tolerance video the only thing I didn’t like were the early morning the earliest being half past 5 in the morning when I had to film my scenes

it was long hours I wanted to show people with a disability that A you can work and B you can work in positions of authority

As I said this is not always the case, but when the casting director does go the extra mile, disabled actors always give good performances. In past years, we have seen a disabled student in Grange Hill Francesca Martinez played the part of Rachel a suffer of cerebral palsy who was in the programme for 5 years you can read about here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/comedy/9605179/Francesca-Martinez-on-starring-in-Grange-Hill-and-being-called-the-wobbly-lady.html  (a part my drama teacher wanted me to go for, but that’s another story!); a Downs Syndrome murder suspect in A Touch of Frost; and a wheelchair-using teenager in the Spanish-themed soap Elderado Julie Fernandez played the part of Vanessa for all its short lived run on BBC TV you can find her website here http://www.juliefernandez.com/media.html

 Another good case in point is Lilac Jackson A young girl who has cerebral palsy, will soon be appearing in the channel 4 drama  alongside Broadchurch actor David Tennant. It appeared young Lilac  liked the experience her mum commented She absolutely loved it. It was, I can’t lie, it was quite overwhelming on the first day. I think I spent the entire morning crying my eyes out thinking ‘oh my God, we’ve gone from this little, scrappy 34-week-old baby who nobody expected to survive to here we are about to film scenes with David Tennant’.

And she walked on to set, we were filming on the beach that day and it was just where she was meant to be

So my message to television and film casting directors and producers is, please give disabled actors a chance; you never know, you could make some classic TV and win yourself an award or two. Come on, you know it makes sense .

Cinema

I go to the cinema quite a lot mostly with my mum and dad but I have never seen a film with a disabled actor or character in it it could be a case that I don’t watch enough films or that disabled actors don’t get a chance to show there skills or that scripts are not been written with disabled parts in them or a mix of all 3 but this could be about to change with this campaign https://www.independentcinemaoffice.org.uk/its-time-to-make-disability-visible-in-cinema/  

But if you know where to look there are films about which feature disability as these 2 links feature 2 top 10 lists of films which use the theme of disability the best https://www.ranker.com/list/best-disability-movies-list/all-genre-movies-lists and http://www.tasteofcinema.com/2015/10-great-movies-about-disability/

Of course Cinema is full of many genres the above article looks at many of these again looking at the theme of disability https://www.filminquiry.com/disability-in-film-genres/ The well known disability campaign group disability horizons published a 2 part blog on disability in the media you read there assessment on the subject here http://disabilityhorizons.com/2012/09/disability-and-the-media-tv-and-film/  perharps the most devicive film over the last few years to feature disability is the film based on the best selling book me before you I have spoken to a few freinds who have seen this film who say its very good and a bit of a tearjerker its the way it handles the subject of disability thats the issue on the whole not in a positive way see

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/jun/02/me-before-you-disabled-backlash-not-pitied and https://www.bustle.com/articles/165337-what-me-before-yous-depiction-of-disability-means-to-me-as-a-disabled-person as well as https://factfamily.org/blog/2016/06/me-before-you-disability/ The film has drawn some praise as well from some quarters https://www.eonline.com/uk/news/767981/me-before-you-draws-criticism-and-praise-from-disability-activists

 I don’t want to end this article on being totally negative so I will leave with this link https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2012/nov/12/disability-in-film-untouchable

談陝西偽造青銅器銘文精品之傳統及2003年的〈逨盤〉及四十二年與四十三年逨鼎等

談陝西偽造青銅器銘文精品之傳統及2003年的〈逨盤〉及四十二年與四十三年逨鼎等 〈淺析青銅器作偽方式〉（中國文物網， https://news.artron.net/20150130/n708975.html ）內有提到： 『於真器上作偽銘，興盛於乾隆以後。咸豐以前，此方面的名手有陝西的蘇兆年(即蘇七)及其兄蘇億年(即蘇六)、張二銘(即鳳眼張)。商承祚先生曾指出，葉志銑藏器中有不少陝西人偽刻之器，朱為弼《敬吾心室彝器款識》收錄此種偽銘最多。陝西作偽者多在真器上刻銘，可能與該地多有素器出土(秦更年《金文辨偽》)有關。』不過，1949年以後，一切資源國有，要偽刻也無銷路，也無必要化工原料，故在改革開放以前，這些偽銘文好手，也只有回歸務農去了，無法再顯身手了。

直到在改革開放過後，此一精品傳統仍有恢復，務農而有此一本事的農民，亦以其所長，在改革開放後復古青銅器製作業林立於陝西，並配合需要而生產而一顯自父祖傳承的絕技，所以2003年的所謂“天下第一盤”的〈逨盤〉及四十二年與四十三年逨鼎等26件所謂的逨器即為此一陝西精品偽銘文之代表。故直到今日，因為學界領頭羊及其門生裡能辨青銅偽器的行家如容庚者除少數如王恩田等之外迄今己乏見其人，故偽青銅器盛見於各博物館，李學勤、裘錫圭等所謂的學界領頭羊亦全然不察而廣為光揚，亦為學術凌替之一證。（劉有恒,2020,6.28於台北）

Ya hasta en conocidos periódicos hablan de esta ‘práctica’ tan famosa y polémica, el postureo. En La Vanguardia debaten sobre algunos ejemplos, y comentan con personajes como Moderna del Pueblo, una ‘influencer’, sobre algunos tópicos de internet. En definitiva, “hay una creciente dependencia de la aprobación de los demás en las redes sociales, que puede volverse patológica.”

A variation on the last essay about internet culture and media.  I didn’t finish the referencing and I talk about tenplay instead of kickstarter.  I don’t remember why I changed it before handing it in, but here’s the other version anyway.

The rapid onset and evolution of the internet has, and continues to, create huge changes to the way media texts are produced, distributed, and understood. The most powerful feature of the internet is its facilitation of polylogical communication – connecting hundreds, thousands of people and allowing them to interact and collaborate creatively in a completely democratic or decentralised environment (ref: lecture). Reddit is an excellent example of how this power has changed the production and consumption of texts, while Tenplay exemplifies the old structure struggling to maintain its status quo while keeping up with the 21st century.  Reddit has been described as “The gateway to everything interesting going on in the world” (Grey, 2015).  It is a hub of news, discussion, and user generated content about every possible topic.  The website has given rise to countless global communities, which have then developed their own dialects of acronyms and images that outsiders would have difficulty understanding.  Tenplay offers nothing new, and only the barest minimum of customisation options, it only shows evidence of changing distribution methods.

The internet has wrought huge changes to the way texts are produced, distributed, and understood, and Reddit demonstrates all of these. It embodies every aspect of the definition of Polylogical communication.  According to Watson (2015) polylogical communication is democratic or decentralised, universal, and mostly unmediated; allowing overlapping communication of any type (one-one, one-many, many-many, etc.).  Reddit is “a beautiful fractal” (Grey, 2015) of ‘subreddits’, forums dedicated to any and all possible subjects, and the popular topics of each are decided by the democratic ‘upvote’ system in which users vote content up or down depending on their preference and its relevance.  Anyone can join the website and immediately starting submitting content of their own and discussing others content.  Although most subreddits have moderators to ensure content is relevant and respectful, discussions are otherwise unmediated.  As well as the many-many communication seen in the threads, Reddit also has a private messaging system allowing one-one communication.  Subreddits such ‘I Am A’, in which users reveal an interesting job or hobby of theirs and then field questions about it, or ‘Ask A Scientist’ also offer a modicum of one-many communication.   Frequently a discussion in one subreddit will require a link to another, and when a subreddit focusses on a particularly popular topic it will often fracture into several smaller subreddits to avoid clutter.

If Reddit is the epitome of polylogical communication, Tenplay is dialogical.  Dialogical communication is mostly from the producer to the user, but with limited feedback from the audience (Watson, 2015). Tenplay offers replays of TV shows shown on the Ten, One, and Eleven freeview channels, as well as having a free membership feature offering further features.  Members can create playlists of videos, enter competitions, and vote in polls for reality TV shows.  The customisation options, competitions, and social media integration add a limited amount of feedback for users, but the predominant direction of communication remains from the producer to user.

The focus on polylogical communication by Reddit and similar websites has allowed significant changes in the way texts are produced, distributed and understood. The biggest feature of Reddit that allows these changes is the existence of global, interest-based communities. Users of the website are provided with a place to find and talk to others who share their interests, and from these relationships they can create new content, remix existing content, and share anything they create with an audience they know will like it.  Perhaps the biggest impact these communities have had though, is on the way content is understood.

Websites like Reddit, and even specific subreddits or groups of subreddits, have given rise to new dialects native to the internet.  Text-based communication lacks the audio and visual cues that allow a nuanced understanding of verbal speech.  To make up for this, internet users have employed a variety of creative tactics.  As most early users, and many current users of these websites have at least a basic understanding of programming, it is unsurprising that syntax and expressions from various programming languages have been coopted to express various emotions.  For example, when typing a piece that is intended as sarcastic, users will often add ‘/s’ to signify both the presence and end of sarcasm.  Another tactic is to simply write a description of the emotion or emotive action a user wishes to convey. This would be surrounded by some form of parentheticals, for example ‘*screams*’.  Alternately users integrate visual representations of their emotions.  This can range from ever-evolving emoticons (most recent ones including non-latin characters to convey more complex situations) to reaction images (often unrelated and usually captioned photographs or cartoons).  These new ways to communicate all affect the way content is understood, and often also contribute to remix culture, for example turning a still from a TV show into a reaction image.

While Reddit drives changes in the production, distribution, and understanding of content, Tenplay is very much a reaction to them. The website was launched in 2013, 8 years after the YouTube, and 5 years after Netflix launched its online streaming service (Ref) (Ref) (Ref).  The distribution of video and TV shows was changing, and traditional media had no choice but to adopt the trends to stay relevant.  Users were demanding more control over when and how they consumed media, which forced the creation of these catch-up services. The production of the content continued in the traditional way, and changes in understanding seem to have barely been considered. Although Tenplay offers some customisation and interactive features, the website still follows a dialogical communication method. Conversations are limited to the producer and the user, there is no comment section or forum where fans can talk to each other about the content.

The internet has brought about a lot of changes to the way media texts are produced, distributed, and understood.  While both Reddit and Tenplay are evidence of these changes, one is a driver of them while the other is a reaction.  Changing trends in distribution forced catch-up streaming services like Tenplay to become a reality, with changes in production and understanding of the texts being held in the status-quo.  Meanwhile community based website like Reddit are hubs for remixing and discussion of content.  Their polylogical focus allows changes to occur rapidly at all three levels, production, distribution, and understanding of media content.

Ponzo illusion illustrated that context is also fundamental for depth perception. It shows that identically sized lines can appear to be different lengths when placed between converging parallel lines. This shows how our sense of perspective works. Like a train track, the slanted lines make us believe the top line is further away”.

Victor Vasarely created the “nested squares illusion” which suggests that the brain identifies shapes using corners rather than lines.
