(2006)Book ChapterLove has so honeycombed today’s ethical discourse that it’s as though we have been taken hostage by an Other whose escalating demands on our affection now carry the full force and weight of the original super-egoic injunction from which Freud so famously recoiled.1 Yet the proper answer to this loving impasse is not, as Slavoj Žižek has recently suggested, to respond with a fully “ethical” violence that shatters the loving circle but, rather, more love.

(2007)Book ChapterThis chapter explores how some of these women experience engineering in higher education (HE) in the UK. The first part examines the issue of women in engineering and engineering education, highlighting the importance of increasing the number of professional women engineers. The second part investigates the cultures that persist in engineering and higher education generally which act as barriers to women's progression, before addressing specific cultural factors in engineering education that may hinder women's advancement to the engineering professions. The final part of the chapter sets out the findings of an Economic and Social Research Council project into these issues. It begins by describing the methodology used and proceeds to analyse women's experiences of UK engineering education in terms of the good, the bad and the ugly. These terms are explained using examples from the research findings later in the chapter.

(2008)Book ChapterThe growing emphasis on performance in recent musicological research has fostered various arguments to be put forth regarding the relationship between performance and the musical score. Similarly, discussions of sound recordings often debate the relationship between live performance and studio recordings. This paper revisits these issues drawing on a specially conducted survey, published comments and views of artists and researchers, analysis of multiple recordings (both live and in the studio) of the same work by the same artist, and listeners’ perception of these interpretations. In doing so it searches the question whether sound recordings are appropriate documents for the historical study of musical performance and interpretative styles.
