Unpublished Interview Research Articles

Como os suportes revista, jornal e internet impactam a produção do gênero discursivo reportagem

In ‘Speech Genres and Other Late Essays’ written between 1952 and 1953, Bakhtin defined discursive genres as stylistic, thematic, and compositional utterances that are relatively stable. However, this reflection was made in a pre-internet context, without considering the impacts that mediums such as paper, radio, television, or more recently, computers and mobile devices have on genres. According to Bertocchi, genres cannot be defined solely by their prototypical structure and theme since the medium can also generate new types of utterances. Supporting this line of reasoning, this article identified that, in journalism, the medium can interfere with the discursive genre used. Thus, the differences between website reportage (cyber-reportage), newspaper reportage, and magazine reportage were systematized. The reflections made here were based on the Bakhtin Circle and an unpublished interview with journalist Fernando de Barros, former editor of Folha de S. Paulo and former director of Piauí magazine.

The Architecture of the Video Game Stray (2022)

The twenty-first century was marked by emerging ways of space- and place-making. The architecture of the virtual environments of video games is one of the alternative practices in which the discipline of architecture got involved. This essay looks at the architecture and spatial storytelling in the videogame Stray (2022). The relevance of studying Stray does not lie only in the game’s enigmatic interiors, rigorous space-oriented narrative, unique patchwork of neon-soaked, post-apocalyptic labyrinthine spaces, or the cyberpunk Kowloon-like ghettoised urban environment in which the game takes place; Stray is an unprecedented case study as its gameplay is narrated through a non-human perspective: through the point of view of a cat accompanied by a small flying robot called B 12. This essay provides a critical review of the game and attempts to dissect how the spatial storytelling of its post/non-human architecture is orchestrated. Spatial puzzle mechanics, the fluctuation of the game between urban, architectural, and interior scales, and the role that platforms and vertical design techniques play are the subjects of the article. The challenges of the interaction of a game character with four legs with spatial elements, video game placemaking, and spatial design of fetch quests are other topics that the essay will look into. The article is supported by comments from an unpublished interview with Viv (one of the developers of the game) and a series of detailed analytical drawings from the reconstruction of the game environments by the authors.

Not Supposed to be Born?

Drawing from two published literary narratives, the German wartime diary by Anonymous, A Woman in Berlin, and the novel based on women’s testimonies of war rape and unwanted pregnancies in Bosnia by Slavenka Drakulić, S.: A Novel About the Balkans, in addition to published testimonies and unpublished interview data by now young adult (in the case of Bosnia) and elderly (in the case of Germany) children born of war rape (CBOWR), this article examines the intergenerational impact of wartime sexual violence. Applying feminist narrative analysis, the authors demonstrate the situation of “impossible motherhood” and experiences of children who were not supposed to be born. The article focuses on the narrative process marked by trauma but also by agency and resilience so as to challenge dominant stories of war and unwanted pregnancy following rape in armed conflict. The authors propose a resolution of tensions around the ethnic identity of CBOWR along their maternal lineage rather than the imposition of the paternal heritage of the enemy.

Leonard Cabell Pronko: An Appreciation

This summary and updating of the life and career of kabuki scholar and teacher Leonard Cabell Pronko (1927–2019) is also a personal snapshot of an extraordinary human being. It should be read in conjunction with the more comprehensive review of his contributions to Japanese theatre studies that appears in Asian Theatre Journal's "Founders of the Field" series (28:2, Fall 2011). The current article emphasizes Pronko's biography and how he came to Japanese theatre from a background in Romance languages. It discusses his key interests and points out some of the ways he influenced and aided my own career as an example of his abiding concern for current and former students. It also includes intriguing remarks from an unpublished interview with Jonah Salz (2016). I am grateful to Jonah Salz for permission to use this material.

Svoboda and lighting design: fragments of a light discourse

ABSTRACT Josef Svoboda is often presented as a master in the field of lighting design, but we know little about the exact nature of his contribution in this area. This article aims to foreground his input in terms of lighting sources, the light curtain, contrast, shadows, directions of light and mastery of stray light. It contains several excerpts and drawings from an unpublished interview on lighting design conducted in 1993.

The emotional labour and toll of managerial academia on higher education leaders

ABSTRACT Higher education has seen a shift that means its leaders are no longer only being recruited and perceived as senior academics who lead teaching and research. Leaders are now sometimes recruited and viewed as managers who oversee the operation of their institution, college, faculty, or school. This paper analyses the initial findings of an international cross-institutional project focusing on the emotional labour and personal toll experienced by university leaders taking on these changing roles. The study begins by using largely unpublished interview data from 2004, and combines these findings with interviews from current university leaders conducted in 2019. Thirty-five interviews were carried out with participants ranging from university Vice-Chancellors to deputy heads of schools. The paper examines existing literature of the changing shape of higher education leadership and contrasts it with how university leaders view the largely unsustainable emotional labour and toll required to carry out their work..

ENTREVISTA COM OSWALDO DE CAMARGO

Em 1990, Entrevistei, em dois momentos, o escritor Oswaldo de Camargo. Interessada nas formas enunciativas do “eu-negro”, o objetivo era levantar dados e registrar a voz do escritor em evocações de períodos anteriores e posteriores à sua chegada a São Paulo, onde se tornou uma referência e um elo entre gerações. Nesta entrevista inédita, que conta com a participação do poeta Paulo Colina, Camargo fala de sua formação, das associações negras, de crises existenciais, de “malungos” negros e brancos, de sua fé e do lugar de um escritor negro na literatura brasileira.

FROM JOURNALISM TO CULTURAL SOCIOLOGY (AND BACK VIA PARSONS). AN INTERVIEW WITH JEFFREY ALEXANDER

Abstract Along with a general introduction to Jeffrey Alexander’s sociology, in which I comment on some of the main lines taken by his sociological output over the years (social theory and metatheory, neofunctionalism, cultural sociology and the political sociology of civil society), I present here an unpublished interview with the author, conducted in October 2014 in Rio de Janeiro. During this interview, we talked about various aspects of his personal and intellectual trajectory, highlighting especially continuities and discontinuities over his theoretical journey, from the revisions of the classics of sociology to his more recent formulations on the civil sphere, passing through the place of the Parsonian legacy in his work.

Juncos, Sparrows, and Crows in the Transnational Poetry of Shirley Geok-lin Lim

This essay explores Lim’s efforts to express and encourage inclusivity through the agency of her poetic imagination. As Lim renavigates the Pacific and other terrain and writes, she strives for a “utopian goal,” or to “voice authenticity as a signified.” Her poems advocate self-empowerment so that her nestlings can find their way in a world full of individuals of every race, creed, and gender. Lim shapes her poems to recognize the exhausting, long-term efforts a traveler or migrant must make as he or she wanders; a journey is not always finite, circular, or linear. To propel her inclusivity efforts, Lim often draws on imagery, not just of birds, but also of political movements in Hong Kong and elsewhere, natural disasters such as wildfires, or even a sunshine-filled Californian moment. She crafts her form to share her advocacy via haiku, alphabet, and prose poems. The intersections of her form, poetic imagination, and transnational crisscrossings reveal the painstaking ways in which a crosshatched identity develops and emerges over a lifetime. This article offers a bird’s eye view of some of Lim’s recent poems, mostly published after 2014, including her “Cassandra Days: Poems,” as well as works from Ars Poetica for the Day, Do You Live In?, and The Irreversible Sun, not to mention an unearthed and unpublished interview from 1985.

The forbidden opinion polls of the Spanish Transition. Access to public information and Digital History

The goal of this research is to analyse the role played by social media, the periodicals library and access to public information when revisiting collective memory on the Spanish Transition. The analysis is carried out based on an unpublished interview to Adolfo Suarez in 1995. During the interview, and off-the-record, former Spanish president Adolfo Suarez confessed to journalist Victoria Prego that the monarchy was not subjected to referendum because the opinion polls suggested they would lose. Those statements came to light 20 years later, after a special TV program broadcast by La Sexta Columna that turned Adolfo Suarez into a trending topic for several days.
 
 Between 1955 and 1972 at least six opinion polls were carried out - perfectly documented and censored or silenced at the time - asking Spaniards about their preferences on the best government system for Spain.

An Unpublished Interview with Walter Gropius, December 1960

Having recently retired from the University of Pennsylvania's Department of City and Regional Planning, I was going through the boxes of files I had accumulated over the years, when I came upon folders containing three unpublished interviews I had done in the early 1960s. These conversations were with Reyner Banham, Walter Gropius, and Jose Luis Sert. Reading them over, I thought the Gropius interview was still worth publishing as a historical artifact, and so I contacted JSAH (Figure 1). Figure 1 Walter Gropius, 1955 (photo, Hans G. Conrad/Rene Spitz Collection). This is how the Gropius interview came about. In the summer of 1960, before returning to the Yale School of Architecture that fall, I had a job in the editorial offices of the Architectural Record . Jonnie Davern, who was effectively the managing editor (although she was not confirmed in that title until later), sent me across town to interview Philip Johnson at his office in the Seagram Building.1 Johnson was in good form and enjoyed the idea of being interviewed by someone studying to be an architect. The Record was pleased with the interview and published it that December.2 Davern gave me some additional interview assignments when I went off to New Haven that fall, expecting me to fit them in during the academic year. She commissioned the Banham interview when she found out that he was visiting Yale; other assignments sometimes required me to travel. In 1961 and 1962, the Record published my interviews with Pietro Belluschi, Edward L. Barnes, Edward D. Stone, and Paul Rudolph.3 I also submitted my interviews with Banham, Sert, and Gropius, but Emerson Goble, the editor in chief, apparently decided that the ones the Record published were enough. Walter Gropius was actually one of the first of my interview assignments. I …

Politiche della verità: l’uso della voce nel teatro del Living Theatre

On January 2015 Judith Malina - the co-founder of Living Theatre with her partner Julian Beck - release one of her last interviews before she dies. In this unpublished interview, Malina is accompanied by Thomas Walker, member of the company since 1971. The matter of the conversation are vocality’s practices and aesthetics, for example the “vocal patterns” as The Chord and Sound and Movement. A recon about “vocal personalities” is also discussed, the latter representing a consistent part of the sonic background of Living Theatre (Antonin Artaud, Alessandro Moissi, Valeska Gert, Maurice Schwartz). Another subject matter consist in examining the use of the voice in the most famous shows of the American company. The conversation is followed by a short note where Living Theatre’s work is contextualized with broader issues, as the concept of method. At the end, the relation between each vocal pattern to another is identified as “disturbance’s voice”.

In remembrance: Admiral Stansfield Turner, Naval officer as DCI

Admiral Stansfield Turner, a former chief of the U.S. Intelligence Community (formally, the Director of Central Intelligence or DCI), died in early 2018. He served as DCI during the Carter Administration, where he was known to be an advocate of stronger intelligence accountability. This previously unpublished interview with him from 1991 discloses his views on a range of intelligence topics, as he reflected back on his experiences a decade after his tenure as DCI.

“Talking ’Bout My Generation”: Visual History Interviews—A Practitioner’s Report

The critical appreciation of videotaped oral history interviews has been hampered by one-dimensional interpretations of the spoken word alone. The addition of the visual dimension in which voice and gestures are necessary constituents to the reading of the material has so far been widely ignored. Unjustly so, because it enriches the discipline with new interpretative approaches that can lead the way to a more human evaluation of historical events and personalities, thereby enlivening the dry facts that empirical historical sciences usually provide. The article will endeavor to describe what we see when we listen, and how this visual component can enhance informative values. “‘Talking ’Bout My Generation’” discusses these aspects in connection with African American culture and music. The following sound bites are part of a series of videotaped oral history interviews with some of the most influential artists, producers and music managers in the history of recorded music. Historically, they cover the period from the 30s to the 60s of the last century. Featured is hitherto unpublished interview material of the soul singer Ben E. King, the Southern musician Jimmy Johnson, the record producer Jerry Wexler, Solomon Burke, who needs no introduction, and Joel Dorn, the wonderful former jazz producer for the iconic Atlantic Records label.

Post-productivist transformation as a challenge for small-scale fisheries: Changing preconditions and adaptation strategies in the Finnish Archipelago Sea Region

This article focuses on changes in the use of fish resources and its interrelationships with societal and natural transformations in the Baltic Sea setting within the last 100 years. The study area, the Finnish Archipelago Sea Region, consists of unique coastal landscape with shallow water areas between thousands of islands and islets. Fishing income was traditionally combined with shipping and small-scale agriculture, but today fishing families’ income combinations are more diverse. The fishing livelihood in the archipelago is typically seasonal operation and targets several fish species with e.g. gill nets.Extraction of fish resources has been of utmost economic and cultural importance in the Archipelago Sea Region: fisheries contributed to habitation of outer parts of the region at the turn of the 20th century. In mid 20th century fishing started to lose its profitability and many islands became desolated. Decline in the fishing employment was due, for instance, to technical development, urbanization and industrialization of the society. In the 1970s a new innovation, fish farming in net cages, compensated for the decline of capture fisheries. At the same time the production landscape of fishing peasants began its change towards one of leisure and nature conservation. This post-productivist transformation contained not only an increase in the competition of space, but also a remarkable change in people’s perceptions and values about the use and governance of fish resources. This analysis is based on a wide collection of published articles, books and documents, together with unpublished interview material illuminating the most recent transformations.

Tadeusz Mazowiecki. Katolik w PRL

Catholic in Communist Poland Tadeusz Mazowiecki was one of the leading Catholic activists and politicians of Solidarity movement. In 1989 he became the first democratic Prime Minister in post-communist Poland. In an unpublished interview from 1984 he speaks about the attitudes of Catholics regarding the communist system, a Polish variant of personal-ism, a dialogue between the Catholic and leftist circles, the values of the Solidarity movement.

"We Are from the Sand": Fillman Bell's Interviews of Hia-Ced O'odham

"We Are from the Sand":Fillman Bell's Interviews of Hia-Ced O'odham Fillman Bell, Bill Broyles (bio), Rein Vanderpot (bio), and Harry J. Winters Jr. (bio) In the late 1970s, the National Park Service staff at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument concluded that the historic American Indian cemetery at Quitobaquito Spring needed restoration. The graves and markers were deteriorating badly. Following consultation with the Tohono and Hia-Ced O'odham, it was decided to relocate the graves, note all burial items, and record the names of those buried there, as well as interview other tribal members who had lived there or who had known persons who did. Fillman Childs Bell, daughter of a Hia-Ced O'odham who once lived at Quitobaquito, was hired to do the interviews and assigned to be senior editor. She was searching primarily for genealogy and geography, who married whom, and where did they live. The report gathered what it could, but found that much of the information was missing from the unwritten memories for the usual reasons: They forgot, didn't have time, weren't asked that question, or were reluctant to tell all they knew. The final report does note, "However, there is in the interviews a significant amount of historical narrative, personal remembrances, and cultural information. To preserve this information, these interviews are presented as they were recorded during four weeks of travel visiting elderly Papagos in October and November [End Page 520] 1979, and in additional interviews in 1980."1 The interviews were conducted and transcribed by Bell, and a final report—The Quitobaquito Cemetery and Its History—was produced and filed with the national monument and with the Western Archeological and Conservation Center in Tucson.2 The interviews below are from Chapter 5 of that report. Click for larger view View full resolution Fillman Childs Bell. (Courtesy Mary Bell.) Bell's cast includes 14 persons generally said to be Hia-Ced O'odham by heritage or who had relatives who had lived at Quitobaquito. The original report also contained a historical timeline for Quitobaquito, a list of persons buried there and genealogies for their families, an analysis of the cemetery artifacts, and a short overview of traditional death ceremonies. Those are omitted here. We have added a previously unpublished interview by Bell with her sister Martha Childs Celaya conducted in 1989. Our goal is to illuminate the people and their information by highlighting places, people, plants, and animals. We do not attempt to solve the question of Hia-Ced O'odham identity and its possible roots in their dialect, territory, use of resources, heredity, cultural practices, or physical differences. [End Page 521] We have lightly edited these interviews with updated spellings and conventions for clarity, and we reformatted paragraphs for readability and coherence. English was a second language for most of these interviewees, and the translations and organization of the conversations were handled by Bell. We have added annotations to explain, amplify, and clarify facts, names, and concepts. We have added citations and cross-references. Bell, her co-authors, and linguist Ofelia Zepeda attempted to spell "the Papago words in this text…according to the orthography set up by Albert Alvarez and Kenneth Hale (1969). This orthography is considered to be the standard writing system for the Papago tribe. However, the pronunciation of some of these words varies among speakers of the Papago language. For example, for the Sand Papago speakers who gave the Papago words for this text, the letter written as 'W' is pronounced as the letter 'V.'"3 We have standardized some place names, such as Sonoyta (Shon 'Oidag in O'odham), and re-ordered some paragraphs for coherence. We retain Bell's parenthetical comments inside parentheses ( ), and we place ours inside brackets [ ] as well as adding endnotes, especially for alternate spellings of O'odham words and to specify scientific names. In the past few decades there has been appreciable interest in ethnobotany, and significant publications include Amadeo Rea's At the Desert's Green Edge, Richard S. Felger's Flora of the Gran Desierto and his borderland collaborations online at Phytoneuron, and work by Gary Nabhan and his colleagues, as well as the older...

El presente y el futuro del Derecho Natural: una conversación con Robert P. George

This article presents an unpublished interview with Professor Robert P. George (Princeton University, USA) with the aim of reaching out to scholars from non-Anglo-Saxon countries in order to offer a comprehensive view of the main issues currently being debated by legal and political scholars from a non-continental viewpoint. The text shows how a significant number of Anglo-Saxon scholars have recovered the discredited notion of natural law, through the so-called “New School of Natural Law”. With this new approach to natural law, George presents a clear defense of rights and institutions currently confronted by the tyranny of “the politically correct”. One powerful aspect of this new School includes the elaboration of arguments and counter-arguments to one’s own position. In this way, George invites his participant –whether in the classroom or through his dialectical works– to think for him or herself without fear of questioning even one’s deepest ideas and convictions. As a consequence of this thought process, one is able to receive new lights and, thus, rectify and reach a more complete truth. If, on the contrary, one has unsupported explanations or reasonings with logical fallacies, the method will strengthen one’s personal ideas, which must always be presented with the openness of those who do not consider themselves infallible. The main topic of this article is a detailed analysis of the natural law, as understood by the “New School of Natural Law”, in which George is inscribed as one of its main protagonists. It also presents the criticisms of which this New School is frequently the object. It should be therefore an enlightening text for jurists and philosophers interested in knowing first¬hand the principles of this School, still not widespread in the continental tradition. Another aspect of interest is the exposition of the methodology that, according to George, should guide Constitutional Interpretation. For jurists not fully internalized in the tradition of Anglo-Saxon Common Law, his explanation of how judges should proceed when resolving different cases is insightful. The judges must be limited, says George, to the role that the Constitution has assigned to them: to apply the law as is. Thus, Given the frequent tendency for judges to indirectly become legislators, he warns that this mode of proceeding presupposes frequent violations of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend. Another topic extensively argued is the role of religion in public life. Although George prefers to make use of rational arguments in his defense of values (among them the protection of human life in all its instances, marriage as the union of a man and a woman open to life, or the defense of freedom, etc.), he makes it clear that religion has the right to participate in public life by contributing its knowledge and values in favor of the socio-political common good as many important figures have done in the history of United States. Hence, George does not advocate neutrality in the public sphere, nor does he support the opposite extreme: a “sacred public square”. He supports a society that is not only “civil” but also “civilized”, that is to say, a society in which every citizen can manifest his words and/or his ideas and beliefs in an ambiance of mutual respect. Such a society believes that every citizen not only has the right to think, to believe and to live according to his views, but also is able to give reasons for them, whether from a secular or religious perspective.

Joseph Campbell's Unpublished Views of Jung

Joseph Campbell's unpublished interview on Jung in the Harvard Countway Library of Medicine Jung Archive and unpublished material in the Joseph Campbell Collection at the Opus Archives and Research Center contain illuminating views of Jung, myth, religion, and naturalistic standpoints. Drawing on this unpublished material not utilized in published works on Campbell, the article demonstrates that Campbell and Jung rejected a naturalistic standpoint that tried to explain everything in physical terms, although both men still held some naturalistic assumptions on religion.
