Art and Market in Bologna in the 1970s. The first steps of Arte Fiera

The first contemporary art fair in Italy was launched in Bologna in 1974, at the end of what can be called the first wave of fairs. This paper aims to reconstruct the history of its beginnings, filling an existing gap in scholarly publications. More specifically, the paper deals with the first years up to 1979, when Arte Fiera was temporarily suspended. The first section repositions the role of Arte Fiera in relation to the Fair infrastructure, followed by the reconstruction of its first years, which saw a rapid rise and fall of Arte Fiera. In the last part, the paper examines the specific conditions of Bologna’s art fair, which was caught in a dichotomy between trying to become international and competitive on the one hand and responding to the strong anti-commodification culture of the 1970s on the other. This led the event to invest at an early stage in creating many ancillary events and investigating alternative market possibilities in the direction of democratizing the market.

Letting Steam Out of the Pressure Cooker: The EMDR Life Stress Protocol

The standard protocol of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has been well established as an efficacious brief treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), addressing past, present, and future aspects of a traumatizing event. This article provides instruction in the administration of the EMDR Life Stress Protocol, which targets a significant recent experience or a life scenario that is not necessarily remarkable as a stand-alone event (getting up every morning with dread, feeling anxious about leaving the house) and which causes distress and impaired function such as has been commonly reported during the COVID-19 crisis. This protocol involves minor but significant modifications within EMDR therapy’s standard procedures. It uses the present-day experience as the Target Memory while accessing briefly, the memory network of historical experiences that inform the client’s reactions to their present circumstances. Successful processing is immediately followed by a Future Template to generate an alternative pattern of response, optimizing the client’s capacity to respond adaptively to continued life demands. The EMDR Life Stress Protocol differs from EMDR’s various recent events protocols, which seek to reduce posttraumatic symptoms following a recent traumatic event or crisis. Those protocols focus on the critical incident and ancillary events, and typically do not intend to activate memory networks of related historical experiences. The article describes case conceptualization to offer a rationale for this approach and provides a detailed description of this protocol, illustrated with case examples, highlighting its application both as a psychotherapy approach and as a brief intervention.

Leverage and Activation of Sport Sponsorship Through Music Festivals

Research on leverage and activation of sponsorship is an underexplored area in academia, one that is still in its infancy in the event management and sport marketing literature. Much of the existing analyses of sponsorship leverage do not clearly differentiate between activational and nonactivational leverage. It is now common practice for mega-event organizers to create and manage ancillary events for sponsors to leverage and activate sponsorships among attendees. One example is the Austin Fan Fest held each year during the week of the Formula 1 US Grand Prix. However, it remains unclear how leverage differs between main and ancillary events, and what the subsequent impact is on sport consumer behavior. The purpose of the study was to examine whether sponsorship activation by Austin Fan Fest sponsors would have greater results for these sponsors than for Formula 1 sponsors that were limited to using nonactivational sponsorship (i. e., signage, promotions, and public address) during the main event. Results show that activational leverage off site at Austin Fan Fest outperformed on-site nonactivational at the Formula 1 US Grand Prix, as surveyed respondents reported higher ratings on attitudes toward the sponsor, word of mouth, and purchase intentions.

Before and after ACMI: a case study in the cultural history of Australia's State film centres

ABSTRACTThe 2002 opening of the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in Melbourne reconfigured the State Film Centre of Victoria (SFCV) for a new millennial moment of cinema and media, and within the context of the new languages of post-production, media convergence, digitisation, and globalisation. This occasion, with its ongoing emphasis on immediacy and the future, urgently requires a substantial research project that looks backwards and forwards at the same time: that is, a project that at once provides an understanding of the historical underpinning that gave rise to the present institution, and also of the current context that will give shape to the institution as it evolves into the future. Like all public institutions, ACMI evolved from, and is currently made up of, a complex series of threads drawing on a host of ancillary organisations, events, locations, and individuals that have a similarly intricate history that stretches back to the immediate post-WWII period. This essay provides an outline of a larger research project that will investigate the ways in which these various forces have given rise to the character of ACMI, informing an ongoing understanding of the place of ACMI within Australia's cultural profile. In this way the project will explain how ACMI has become – and can continue to be – an enormously successful model for government-supported, cultural institutions locally and internationally.

Leveraging ambitions and barriers: Glasgow universities and the 2014 Commonwealth Games

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate why and how universities in the Glasgow region sought to leverage the 2014 Commonwealth Games to achieve their own benefits.Design/methodology/approachAn in-depth qualitative case study, utilising documentary evidence and in-depth interviews, was employed to examine how Glasgow universities leveraged the Games, and the outcomes they sought.FindingsUniversities sought to leverage the 2014 Commonwealth Games to garner a range of benefits, including increased brand awareness, student and staff development opportunities, new or improved infrastructure, and strengthened stakeholder relationships. Leveraging strategies included developing relationships with other Games’ stakeholders to establish and participate in collaborations, committees, and research consortia, hosting ancillary events, and hosting teams on training camps. However, data revealed substantial barriers to effective leveraging, such as insufficient resourcing and lack of leadership, and consequently several interviewees conveyed a sense of missed opportunities.Practical implicationsThe results can inform universities located in host regions about the opportunities and challenges to strategically leveraging an event. Also, if event organisations understand the leveraging ambitions of event stakeholders, such as universities, they can better facilitate and manage their relationships with such stakeholders to maximise event benefits in the host region.Originality/valueThis research considers the leveraging activities of a previously un-researched event stakeholder group (universities) that have the potential to deliver benefits that reach students, staff, and industry interest groups in event host communities. The knowledge contributed could aid universities in future event host regions to strategically leverage to maximise the benefits of major sport events.

The Impact of Technology on Courts

The impact of technology on the courts is a topic that has been receiving attention in judicial administration circles – both professional and academic – for nearly three decades now. The National Centre for State Courts has run a specialised conference on court technology since the mid-1990s, together with a range of ancillary events on particular aspects of technology in relation to court processes (e.g. eCourts, eFiling). Similar conferences, workshops and symposia have been held in other parts of the world, including Australia and Singapore. From an academic standpoint, researchers have been examining various aspects of the impact of technology on courts for a similar period of time and there is now a substantial repository of published literature in the field.

Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Fibrosis versus Repair.

Clinical and basic experimental approaches to pediatric acute lung injury (ALI), including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), have historically focused on acute care and management of the patient. Additional efforts have focused on the etiology of pediatric ALI and ARDS, clinically defined as diffuse, bilateral diseases of the lung that compromise function leading to severe hypoxemia within 7 days of defined insult. Insults can include ancillary events related to prematurity, can follow trauma and/or transfusion, or can present as sequelae of pulmonary infections and cardiovascular disease and/or injury. Pediatric ALI/ARDS remains one of the leading causes of infant and childhood morbidity and mortality, particularly in the developing world. Though incidence is relatively low, ranging from 2.9 to 9.5 cases/100,000 patients/year, mortality remains high, approaching 35% in some studies. However, this is a significant decrease from the historical mortality rate of over 50%. Several decades of advances in acute management and treatment, as well as better understanding of approaches to ventilation, oxygenation, and surfactant regulation have contributed to improvements in patient recovery. As such, there is a burgeoning interest in the long-term impact of pediatric ALI/ARDS. Chronic pulmonary deficiencies in survivors appear to be caused by inappropriate injury repair, with fibrosis and predisposition to emphysema arising as irreversible secondary events that can severely compromise pulmonary development and function, as well as the overall health of the patient. In this chapter, the long-term effectiveness of current treatments will be examined, as will the potential efficacy of novel, acute, and long-term therapies that support repair and delay or even impede the onset of secondary events, including fibrosis.

Nautical small-scale sports events portfolio: a strategic leveraging approach

Research question: This study analyzes the leverage process of a nautical small-scale sports events portfolio, hosted in a tourist community of Portugal. Strategic goals were identified and the implementation process examined, according to economic and social leveraging models. Since these models have lack of empirical research, their application to real contexts may improve their contribution to the development of the sports events' strategic approach.Research methods: Fieldwork was conducted from February 2008 to June 2009. Direct observation of the events (6 days in average), document analysis (79 documents), and qualitative interviews were conducted (82 actors). Data were analyzed using the qualitative content analysis approach through the software – NVivo 9 by QSR International.Results and findings: Results showed a strategic approach emphasizing ‘enhancing the host’s destination image,' while other categories of the models were not so evident. The use of a portfolio approach favored the construction of the nautical destination brand.Implications: Cross-leveraging processes, enhancing coordination efforts, and planning ancillary events are key factors to successfully leverage a portfolio of events.

On Being Made History

This essay offers some reflections on the heritage of cultural studies prompted by a conference held at Birmingham University in June 2014. The conference, called CCCS50, was mounted as part of a two-year research project into the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) which is (state) funded by the British Arts and Humanities Research Council. It was scheduled to mark 50 years since the founding of the CCCS by Richard Hoggart in 1964. Speakers at the conference included many who had studied and taught at the CCCS and the later Department of Cultural Studies, and there were ancillary events such as an art exhibition at the nearby Midlands Arts Centre and a photographic exhibition elsewhere in the university. The unhappy history of the relationship between Birmingham University and Cultural Studies (the university had shut down all cultural studies teaching in 2002, as well as consistently under-resourcing it) was a shaping presence during the conference. This and the deaths, in 2014, of both Richard Hoggart and Stuart Hall, affected participation in, attendance at, and the tenor of, the proceedings. The author, who studied at CCCS in the 1970s, and has previously written about this experience, explores some of the contradictions of the event for those who found themselves being made history.

Evoking 'New Zealandness': representations of nationalism during the (New Zealand) 2011 Rugby World Cup

From the moment at the International Rugby Board (IRB) meeting in Dublin in November 2005, when it was announced that New Zealand would be the host nation for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, it was clear this event was not just about a series of games, semi-finals and a winner. It was to be a grand event for New Zealand, which was as much about financial returns, visitor numbers and showcasing New Zealand to the rest of the world—and hopefully getting exposure beyond the usual rugby-watching nations, which can be described as ‘international’ but not necessarily ‘global’. Our article explores the representations of ‘New Zealandness’ that were evoked by holding this host nation status. However, rather the rugby itself, it is the mediated moments, nationalistic communal rituals, ancillary events and the (trans)national promotional cultures of corporate sponsors that coalesced around New Zealand and forms of nation-building that are our prime focus.

Sickle Cell Disease

1. M. Catherine Driscoll, MD* 1. *Director, Hematology Program, Children's Hospital at Montefiore, Bronx, NY After completing this article, readers should be able to: 1. Describe the pathogenesis of sickle cell disease. 2. Delineate the complications of sickle cell disease and their management. 3. Review guidelines for health maintenance and preventive measures. 4. Discuss the current treatments for sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic hemolytic anemia that includes the hemoglobin (Hb) variants SS, SC, S-beta thalassemia, SO Arab, SD, and other rare S-Hb genotypes. SCD is one of the most common genetic diseases worldwide. Sickle disorders are seen commonly in sub-Saharan Africa but also occur in the Mediterranean, India, and the Arabian Peninsula. The geographic distribution of sickle hemoglobinopathies corresponds to the distribution of malaria; indeed, the sickle gene in the heterozygote (AS) form protects against death from endemic Plasmodium falciparum malaria infection. In addition, the clinical manifestations of SCD vary among these geographic sites, with individuals from India, the Arabian Peninsula, and Senegal having milder disease than those from parts of Africa. This pattern suggests that genetic modifiers ameliorate the disease in certain populations and contribute to the significant variation in clinical manifestations. The presence of SCD in North, South, and Central America is due to immigration patterns and represents primarily the more severe African types. The genetic defect producing sickle Hb is a single nucleotide substitution (GTG for GAG) at codon 6 of the beta globin gene on chromosome 11 that results in the substitution of valine for glutamic acid. This hydrophobic amino acid substitution allows Hb S to polymerize on deoxygenation, and multiple polymers bundle to form rodlike structures that distort the red cell into the classic crescent shape. Sickled red cells are less deformable in the microcirculation and provoke a cascade of events that results in vascular occlusion, organ ischemia, and eventually, chronic end-organ damage. The ancillary events of polymerization that …

Towards Social Leverage of Sport Events

Despite the predominant policy focus on event economic impact, event organisers and host community residents are calling for attention to be paid to the social value of events. Anthropological work on events demonstrates that their celebratory nature engenders a liminoid space that can foster social value, particularly through a sense of communitas. In order to enable and amplify liminality and communitas, event organisers and host community planners should foster social interaction and prompt a feeling of celebration by enabling sociability among event visitors, creating event-related social events, facilitating informal social opportunities, producing ancillary events, and theming widely. The resulting narratives, symbols, meanings, and affect can then be leveraged to address social issues, build networks, and empower community action. These may be furthered when the arts are used to complement sport, and when commercial elements support social leverage. Future research should explore and examine the strategic and tactical bases for social leverage.

SPE’s Passage through Portland

42nd Annual SPE National Conference Portland, Oregon March 17-20, 2005 The theme of 2005 National Conference of Society for Photographic Education (SPE) was Passage, which proved to be an open-ended metaphor for journeys both tangible and impossible to measure. Following a very successful Photo-Lucida conference just blocks away at Benson Hotel, SPE conference opened on March 17, 2005 at Hilton Hotel in downtown Portland, Oregon. Overlapping by a day, PhotoLucida conference was based around five days of portfolio critiques, without any ancillary events, lectures or presentations, save for usual spate of openings and receptions timed to coincide with conference. A comparison to SPE conference deserves mention, especially in light of growing significance asserted by portfolio reviews at SPE over past several years. The assumption is that SPE is a professional organization whose mission is to further education, but mission statement in conference guide reads, in part, the society construes in broadest sense. SPE concerns itself with practice and analysis of photography and related media, as its use as an art form and an instrument of social consciousness continues to evolve. However, as organization evolves its primary goal often appears to be less educationally intentioned and more like a warm annual reunion of photo community family, as educators, students, vendors, critics, administrators and artists spend much of long weekend socializing, learning and hawking their wares, with a bit of networking thrown in. In process, it has become a catchall for expression, in which photographic education mission isn't always in evidence even though provides underlying bedrock of organization. It is easy to imagine that any gathering with this many students and faculty couldn't be anything but educational in many ways. Of course, there are many bars that might make exact same statement at times. Attendees were greeted by members of Carpenter's Union picketing hotel over a labor issue, and one sign that I was in Portland and not Philadelphia was that picketers I met were polite and friendly, and several even asked for my advice on digital cameras before explaining their labor conflicts. From a logistical standpoint, this was one of best-run conferences I have attended. Through efforts of staffers assisted by a legion of trained volunteers, events were competently managed and by all accounts conference was a success. From ease of registration to bustling Exhibits Fair, which had 93 companies and educational institutions represented, conference ran smoothly for 1009 registered attendees. Similar to several previous SPE conferences, much of success was due to well-oiled machine of Jeannie Pearce, Mary Brown, Kelly O'Malley, Ashley Peel Pinkham, Hannah Frieser, Jennifer Pearson Yamashiro, Travis Linville, Lincoln Phillips and Natalie Nadozirny, who, after years of working together, provided teamwork that created relaxed and assured tone of event. Importantly, this marks a turning point, since team is breaking up a bit, with Pearce, Brown and Frieser all stepping down from their current posts. The rebuilding of both finances and trust of organization go hand in hand, and support of key corporate sponsors has remained steady, even during times of financial shifts in industry. The current health and size (approximately 1800 members) of organization is largely due to those efforts. In fact, I questioned a large number of attendees about their experiences and feedback was almost universally positive. Space was only problem--as every presentation I visited was at or near to standing room only. The conference is now larger than most available hotel conference locations, but not large enough to warrant convention facilities. …

The ATP Experience: Giving Good First Production in a Supportive Atmosphere

New play development at Alberta Theatre Projects in Calgary is centred on playRites, our annual festival of new work. Four mainstage productions presented in rep, as well as a host of ancillary events (workshop readings, noon-hour “brief new works”, competitions, cabarets, youth showcases, site-specific performance art and more), crowd our calendar from mid-January through to the beginning of March. We bill playRites as “the Hottest Six Weeks in Winter” and, after ten years, it has become the signature event for the company.

Abrupt Climate Change and Extinction Events in Earth History

Slowly changing boundary conditions can sometimes cause discontinuous responses in climate models and result in relatively rapid transitions between different climate states. Such terrestrially induced abrupt climate transitions could have contributed to biotic crises in earth history. Ancillary events associated with transitions could disperse unstable climate behavior over a longer but still geologically brief interval and account for the stepwise nature of some extinction events. There is a growing body of theoretical and empirical support for the concept of abrupt climate change, and a comparison of paleoclimate data with the Phanerozoic extinction record indicates that climate and biotic transitions often coincide. However, more stratigraphic information is needed to precisely assess phase relations between the two types of transitions. The climate-life comparison also suggests that, if climate change is significantly contributing to biotic turnover, ecosystems may be more sensitive to forcing during the early stages of evolution from an ice-free to a glaciated state. Our analysis suggests that a terrestrially induced climate instability is a viable mechanism for causing rapid environmental change and biotic turnover in earth history, but the relation is not so strong that other sources of variance can be excluded.
