Memos from a Theatre Lab Exploring what immersive theatre 'does'

Memos from a Theatre Lab Exploring what immersive theatre 'does'

What does Immersive Theatre ‘do’?By contrasting two specific performances on the same theme – one an ‘immersive’ experience and the other a more conventional theatrical production – Nandita Dinesh explores the ways in which theatrical form impacts upon actors and audiences. An in-depth case study of her work Pinjare (Cages) sets out the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of her specific aesthetic framework. Memos from a Theatre Lab places Dinesh’s practical work within the context of existing analyses of Immersive Theatre using this investigation to generate an underpinning theory of how Immersive Theatre works for its participants. | Memos from a Theatre Lab Exploring what immersive theatre 'does'

Climate Society and Subsurface Politics in Greenland Under the Great Ice

Climate Society and Subsurface Politics in Greenland Under the Great Ice

Once imagined as a place on the very edge of the world Greenland is now viewed as being at the epicentre of climate change. At the same time international attention is focused on opportunities for oil and mineral development seemingly made possible as the inland ice melts and sea ice disappears revealing geological riches and making access to remote areas easier. In this book Mark Nuttall takes the reader on a journey through landscapes seascapes and icescapes of memory movement and anticipation. Unravelling the entanglements of climate change indigenous sovereignty and the politics surrounding non-renewable resource extraction he describes how the country is on the verge of major environmental political and social transformations as it aspires to greater autonomy and possible independence from Denmark. At the heart of this is discussion about how resources and the environment are given meaning and how they have become subject to intense political and ideological struggle.

Lactic Acid Bacteria A Functional Approach

Lactic Acid Bacteria A Functional Approach

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a diverse group of bacteria that comprise low GC content Gram-positive cocci or rods that produces lactic acid as the major end product of the fermentation process. Bifidobacterium genera may also be considered as a part of the LAB group for possessing some similar phenotypical characteristics despite the higher GC content. The key feature of LAB metabolism is efficient carbohydrate fermentation. This contributes to the production of several microbial metabolites that result in the improvement of flavor and texture of fermented foods in addition to its positive impact on the human health when LAB is administered as a probiotic. The book deals with advances made in the functionalities of LAB such as their effect on vitamin D receptor expression impact on neurodegenerative pathologies production of B-vitamins for food bio-enrichment production of bacteriocins to improve gut microbiota dysbiosis production of metabolites from polyphenols and their effects on human health effect on reducing the immunoreaction of food allergens as biological system using time-temperature to improve food safety and the use of probiotics in animal feed.
