Heritage as Process: Constructing the Historical Child’s Voice Through Art Practice

David Harvey describes heritage as a ‘process’ that is not inert and takes place in the present (2010). In heritage practices there are opposing discourses and positions. Artists add another voice to the discourses of heritage and have been described as ‘critical figure[s] in the heritage process’ (Howard, 1998) because they present institutional critique, craft new heritage, and open up ‘Authorised Heritage Discourse’ (Smith, 2006). The role of the artist in this process is explored through practice and the critique of works by artists, including: Corin Sworn, Andrea Fraser, and Danh Vo. This study challenges how art and artists are used in heritage practices, and proposes that artworks that have not been commissioned by heritage institutions can still be used to critique the processes of heritage. The study focuses on historical biographies at the Foundling Museum in London: a ‘museum of childhood’ (Harris, 2013). In current heritage practice, children are regarded as passive and their role is ‘obscured’ (Smith, 2013). In the Foundling Museum there is a tension of ownership that stems from the lack of separation between the histories of children and the history of childhood. Often, the adult voice is represented rather than that of the child. Children are often voice-less in the preservation of their history, as this process is generally undertaken by adults on behalf of the children or ‘perhaps for their childhood selves’ (Smith and Pascoe, 2013). Many scholars still fail to differentiate histories of children, which concern actual practices of young people, from histories of childhood that are ideological concepts adults hold of children. This study explores how the voice of the child might be ‘found’ or reconstructed, using art practice as a form of interrogation. The facilitation of workshops with contemporary children provided material to construct the historical child’s voice. The workshops explored the children’s empathetic engagement to the foundlings through role-play and art making; alongside examining the boundaries of freedom and control. Field notes were employed as a method of documentation and critical analysis when photography of children was not permitted due to ethical considerations. Finally, curation of situated artworks were employed as a method to test the communication of the historical voice in the museum

Remote Sensing

In April 2021, the Illustration Programme at Camberwell College of Arts hosted a one-day online symposium, Remote Sensing. Speakers were members of the UAL academic community (staff and students) and invited guests from national and international institutions. This publication contains documentation of the symposium, including transcripts, expanded abstracts, discussions, images, and sound. The conversations, experiences, and challenges emerging from the pandemic have been unanticipated. They have been transformative personally, professionally, and creatively. This time has impacted on ways of seeing and accessing subject matter, and foregrounded perspectives, positions, and technologies in ways of experiencing the world. The concerns raised are broad and shared with disciplines dealing with observation and interpretation. The contributors featured in this publication share an interest in fieldwork with a focus on the restrictions imposed on places, communities, and collections. Remote Sensing encompasses a deliberately expansive approach, acknowledging subject matter that may be geographically, culturally, or historically hard to reach

Method Illustration

This article outlines a form of practice formed on BA Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts, called method illustration. It alludes to an embodiment of experience and understanding before or during the production of illustration in relation to a topic or theme, challenging the expectation of illustration always ending on an image. It plays on the term method acting, which is built on techniques from the Stanislavski System and contemporized. The article includes examples of students work and how this practice can be applied

THE EFFECTS OF AN ERGONOMIC DEVICE ON SAGITTAL PLANE LOWER EXTREMITY MOTION DURING A FULL SQUAT IN ACL-REPAIRED AND NON-INJURED FEMALES

Each year, 250,000 Americans experience injuries affecting the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), with women four to six times more likely to incur an ACL injury than their male counterparts. Knee Savers® (KS) are an ergonomic aid purported to lessen the risk of such injuries linked to deep squats. While widely used, KS have not been tested to determine their effect upon lower extremity kinematics. Female participants (n=20) with a history of ACLrepair (n=10) or non-injury (n=10) completed a deep squat with and without KS, while being filmed with 2D videography using methods increasingly available in clinical environments. Results from the study indicate no significant differences were found in sagittal plane lower extremity kinematics when squatting with and without KS. KS did not appear to influence lower extremity joint positions during the bottom phase of a deep squat as purported

FRONTAL PLANE KNEE MOTION OF ACL-REPAIRED AND NON-INJURED FEMALES WHEN USING KNEE SAVERS

Women are four to six times more likely to sustain ACL injuries compared to male counterparts. Few investigations have explored if ergonomic devices may alleviate the stress placed on the ACL during deep squatting. The purpose of the study was to determine if Knee Savers® (KS) influenced the frontal plane knee motion when previously-injured and healthy participants completed a squat. Female participants (ACLrepaired: n=10; healthy: n=10) completed a deep squat with and without KS using 2-D videography methods. Results indicated a greater medial motion of the patella in the frontal plane in the right leg of non-injured participants when compared to the ACLrepaired group (p = 0.04). When squatting with KS, the non-injured group experienced more frontal plane motion at the knee, compared to the ACL-repaired group

Does regular walking improve lipid levels in adults?

Q: Evidence-based answer: Minimally. Regular moderateintensity walking for a period of 4 or more weeks minimally decreased total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels by about 7 mg/dL in women with overweight or obesity (strength of recommendation [SOR]: C, systematic review and meta-analysis on disease-oriented evidence). For adults ages 40 to 65 years, regular walking for 3 or more months inconsistently affected cholesterol and triglyceride levels (SOR: C, based on 3 randomized controlled trials [RCTs] with disease-oriented evidence).Kayla Hatchell, MD; Emily Chin, DO; Brian Vukelic, MD; Katherine Fortenberry, PhD; Dominick Ose, DrPH; Eliza Taylor, MPH, BS, CHES; Rachel Goossen, MD (University of Utah), Rick Guthmann, MD, MPH (Advocate Health Care Illinois Masonic Medical Center Program)Includes bibliographical reference

A regional, early spring bloom of Phaeocystis pouchetii on the New England continental shelf

The definitive version was published in Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans 126(2), (2021): e2020JC016856, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JC016856.The genus Phaeocystis is distributed globally and has considerable ecological, biogeochemical, and societal impacts. Understanding its distribution, growth and ecological impacts has been limited by lack of extensive observations on appropriate scales. In 2018, we investigated the biological dynamics of the New England continental shelf and encountered a substantial bloom of Phaeocystis pouchetii. Based on satellite imagery during January through April, the bloom extended over broad expanses of the shelf; furthermore, our observations demonstrated that it reached high biomass levels, with maximum chlorophyll concentrations exceeding 16 µg L−1 and particulate organic carbon levels > 95 µmol L−1. Initially, the bloom was largely confined to waters with temperatures <6°C, which in turn were mostly restricted to shallow areas near the coast. As the bloom progressed, it appeared to sink into the bottom boundary layer; however, enough light and nutrients were available for growth. The bloom was highly productive (net community production integrated through the mixed layer from stations within the bloom averaged 1.16 g C m−2 d−1) and reduced nutrient concentrations considerably. Long‐term coastal observations suggest that Phaeocystis blooms occur sporadically in spring on Nantucket Shoals and presumably expand onto the continental shelf. Based on the distribution of Phaeocystis during our study, we suggest that it can have a significant impact on the overall productivity and ecology of the New England shelf during the winter/spring transition.This project was supported by the US National Science Foundation (Grants 1657855, 1657803, and 1657489).

Beyond technical fixes: climate solutions and the great derangement

Climate change research is at an impasse. The transformation of economies and everyday practices is more urgent, and yet appears ever more daunting as attempts at behaviour change, regulations, and global agreements confront material and social-political infrastructures that support the status quo. Effective action requires new ways of conceptualizing society, climate and environment and yet current research struggles to break free of established categories. In response, this contribution revisits important insights from the social sciences and humanities on the co-production of political economies, cultures, societies and biophysical relations and shows the possibilities for ontological pluralism to open up for new imaginations. Its intention is to help generate a different framing of socionatural change that goes beyond the current science-policy-behavioural change pathway. It puts forward several moments of inadvertent concealment in contemporary debates that stem directly from the way issues are framed and imagined in contemporary discourses. By placing values, normative commitments, and experiential and plural ways of knowing from around the world at the centre of climate knowledge, we confront climate change with contested politics and the everyday foundations of action rather than just data
