  • Between text and stage: the theatrical adaptations of J.M. Coetzee’s

    Kareesha Naidoo   Hermann Wittenberg  

    Several of J.M. Coetzee’s novels have been adapted successfully for the stage, both as theatrical and operatic versions, but these adaptations have not received much critical attention. This article examines the ways in which Peter Glazer and Mark Wheatley have adapted Coetzee’s novel Foe (1986), resulting in two different and distinct stage productions, performed in the US and the UK respectively. In order to explore the complex relationship between the published text and the play versions, the article will ground itself in theories of adaptation, drawing extensively on work by Linda Hutcheon and Robert Stam and Alessandra Raengo. One of the key ideas in adaptation theory is that adaptive fidelity to the source text is neither possible nor desirable, but that adaptation is a more complex, multi-layered intertextual and intermedial interplay of fictional material. The article discusses the two play scripts and analyses the adaptive choices which underpin them and how these structure their meaning-making. Finally, the article also suggests that these scripts can be used to throw more light on Coetzee’s enigmatic novel.

  • Critique of Schuker “J.M. Keynes and the Personal Politics of Reparations”

    Moggridge, Donald   Skidelsky, Robert  

    In “J.M. Keynes and the Personal Politics of Reparations,” Parts I and II, published in Diplomacy and Statecraft (2014), the American historian Stephen Schuker claims that Keynes’ scientific arguments against the policy of reparations were distorted by both political passion and his emotional attachment to the German banker, Dr. Carl Melchior. He provides no evidence for this argument, and Keynes’ analytic positions emerges without reference to either. Donald Moggridge was educated at Trinity College, University of Toronto, and Cambridge University where he researched and taught until 1975. He then became professor of Economics at the University of Toronto and, in 2010, professor emeritus. He has been book review editor of History of Political Economy since 1998. His early publications related to British and international interwar monetary history, culminating in a chapter in the Cambridge Economic History of Europe, volume VII (1989). From 1969, he was an editor of the Royal Economic Society edition of The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes. Robert Skidelsky is emeritus professor of political economy at Warwick University. His three-volume biography of John Maynard Keynes (1983,1992, 2000) won five prizes and his book on the financial crisis— Keynes: The Return of the Master—was published in September 2010. He was made a member of the House of Lords in 1991—he sits on the cross-benches—and elected a fellow of the British Academy in 1994. How Much is Enough? The Love of Money and the Case for the Good Life, co-written with his son Edward, was published in July 2012. His most recent publications were as author, Britain in the 20th Century: A Success? (2014), and as editor, The Essential Keynes (2015).

  • A new approach for crop identification with wavelet variance and JM distance

    Qiu, Bingwen   Fan, Zhanling   Zhong, Ming   Tang, Zhenghong   Chen, Chongcheng  

    This paper develops a new crop mapping method through combined utilization of both time and frequency information based on wavelet variance and Jeffries-Matusita (JM) distance (CIWJ for short). A two-dimensional wavelet spectrum was obtained from datasets of daily continuous vegetation indices through a continuous wavelet transform using the Mexican hat and the Morlet mother wavelets. The time-average wavelet variance (TAWV) and the scale-average wavelet variance (SAWV) were then calculated based on the wavelet spectrum of the Mexican hat and the Morlet wavelet, respectively. The class separability based on the JM distance was evaluated to discriminate the proper period or scale range applied. Finally, a procedure for criteria quantification was developed using the TAWV and SAWV as the major metrics, and the similarity between unclassified pixels and established land use/cover types was calculated. The proposed CIWJ method was applied to the middle Hexi Corridor in northwest China using 250-m 8-day composite moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) enhanced vegetation index (EVI) time series datasets in 2012. The CIWJ method was shown to be efficient in crop field mapping, with an overall accuracy of 83.6 % and kappa coefficient of 0.7009, assessed with 30 m Chinese Environmental Disaster Reduction Satellite (HJ-1)-derived data. Compared with methods utilizing information on either frequency or time, the CIWJ method demonstrates tremendous potential for efficient crop mapping and for further applications. This method could be applied to either coarse or high spatial resolution images for agricultural crop identification, as well as other more general or specific land use classifications.
