Gender and Power Relations in David Henry Hwang’s M. Butterfly: The Challenge to the Binary Opposition Between the East and the West

David Henry Hwang’s M Butterfly tells about a French diplomat, Gallimard, who has a 20 year relationship with his Chinese lover, Song, who turns out to be a male spy. Gallimard, representing the West, has the western rape mentality toward the East represented by Song, who is positioned as the submissive other. M. Butterfly plays with the notion of gender by presenting the relationship between Gallimard and Song that destabilizes gender and the binary of not only masculinity and femininity but also power and susceptibility. It also challenges the binary opposition between the East and the West. Key words: gender, the other, western rape mentality, the East, the Wes

Cover Illustration: The Well-Dressed Entomologist

This issue\u27s cover illustration is the frontispiece to a classic work of eighteenth-century entomology, Moses Harris\u27 The Aurelian, which began to appear in parts in 1758 and was published entire in 1766 (Lisney, 1960). Harris, who was the illustrator as well as the author, pictures the contemporary entomologist with part of his array of collecting equipment. (By tradition, the frontispiece is supposed to be a self-portrait.

Kupu-kupu dengan Laser Cut sebagai Sumber Ide Penciptaan Busana Pesta

Butterfly has a unique beauty, this unique beauty makes those who see it interested. The purpose of this research is to describe the process of making and finished dresses with the source of the idea, namely butterflies, using the laser cut technique. This research method uses a three stages design process approach or three stages of the design process. This method consists of 3 stages of research: problem definition and research, creative exploration and implementation. In the early stages of determining the design direction, namely making women's dresses with butterfly inspiration made for young women with the art of beat type. In the second stage, the researcher made a moodboard and developed 10 sketch designs for dresses in the form of one piece dresses. The two selected designs were created using construction and draping patterns. The implementation stage is by applying laser cut butterflies and ruffles as the center of interest in the party dress. The process of making a laser cut starts from preparing the leather jahard fabric that has been laser cut in the shape of a butterfly, then it is pinned according to the design. The result of the party dress is as expected, namely a dress that can fit the body properly for an art of beat type woman and applies laser cut decoration and ruffles certain parts that apply the center of interest design principle.Butterfly have a unique beauty, this unique beauty makes those who see it interested.

The implementation stage involves applying laser cut butterflies and ruffles as the center of interest in the party attire. The process of making a laser cut starts from preparing a leather jacket that has been laser cut into a butterfly shape, then embedding it according to the design. The resulting party attire is as expected, namely a dress that can wrap the body properly for art of beat type women and is decorated with a process using a laser cut machine and ruffle stitching in certain parts which applies the center of interest design principle

Creating Space: Pedagogical Choices to Encourage a Third Space in an Urban, Kindergarten Science Classroom

“The butterfly is in the chrysalis stage,” Victory informed us as she pointed to the brown chrysalis in the jar on the lab bench, “It was an egg then it formed its chrysalis or pupa and then it will become a butterfly.” When we asked her how she would describe this to her friends, she remarked, “It is like when you go into the dressing room and put on a church dress- you act like someone different.” In this example, Victory, a kindergartener, was translating the scientific language taught to her in the science classroom into a language her friends would understand. Understanding marginalized students’ ability to translate scientific knowledge in a manner that acknowledges cultural and discursive identity is needed in science education (Brown, Ryoo, & Rodriguez, 2010; Lee, 2001)

Representing camp: Constructing macaroni masculinity in eighteenth century visual satire

This article asks how ‘Camp,’ as defined in Sontag’s 1964 essay, ‘Notes on Camp,’ might provide a valuable framework for the analysis of late eighteenth-century satirical prints, specifically those featuring images of the so-called ‘macaroni.’ Discussing a number of satirical prints and contemporary writings on the macaroni, the article reads them against Sontag’s text in order to establish its utility as a critical framework for understanding the images’ complex relationship of content, form, and function.Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, University of Edinburg

Extending Reach with Technology: Seattle Opera's Multipronged Experiment to Deepen Relationships and Reach New Audiences

This case study describes the Seattle Opera's four-year-long effort to test which kinds of technology channels work well in audience engagement. Its experiments with technology included a simulcast of Madama Butterfly at an 8,300-capacity sports arena, interactive kiosks in the opera house lobby and online videos that took viewers behind the scenes of the opera's signature production of Wagner's Ring cycle. Every season employed at least some winning engagement tools, driven in large part by the company's efforts to gather information before determining what applications to use. Although the majority of the tools were most effective at enhancing the experience of patrons who already had a deep connection with the company, the simulcast, in project's fourth year, also brought in opera newcomers. One important lesson from the work was that effective strategies required the involvement not just of the marketing department, but of the entire organization, including its union representatives

A systematic analysis of equivalence in multistage networks

Many approaches to switching in optoelectronic and optical networks decompose the switching function across multiple stages or hops. This paper addresses the problem of determining whether two multistage or multihop networks are functionally equivalent. Various ad-hoc methods have been used in the past to establish such equivalences. A systematic method for determining equivalence is presented based on properties of the link permutations used to interconnect stages of the network. This method is useful in laying out multistage networks, in determining optimal channel assignments for multihop networks, and in establishing the routing required in such networks. A purely graphical variant of the method, requiring no mathematics or calculations, is also described
