Dissertation- The Art of Balance- Cultural Diplomacy in Museums- Aug 2011Erin Martin
This dissertation was written at part of the requirements for the completion of the Cultural Policy and Management program at City University in London, England.
Language, until the inception of 19th century, was related to philosophers and the theories, they presented to define its philosophy.
The scientific study of language did not of course, begin in this century; but the years around 1900 happen to have marked an important turning-point in the history of modern linguistics.

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
1. BASSNE’[T, 5. Studying British Cultures. An Introduction. London: Ruutledge.
199?. (xxvii + 202 pp), ISBN: 0-415-111440-3 (Pb)
Studying British Cultures is a collection of essays by recognized experts,
providisig an overview of tbe cumplex ficíd of what cosistitutes British Cultural
Studies tuday. Since al te cositributurs share te idea tbat culture is a plurality uf
discourses, this wurk presents an interdisciplinary appruach tu te subject.
After a bsief introduction by tbe editor, the essays are divided into two sectiosis.
‘[bose in the first pan deal witb general aspects, definisig what cultural studies are,
asid relating tbese studies tu educatiunal principIes, and the combination of
language, literature asid culture. Tbuse in the secosid pan deal with specific aspects
of British cultures, examining Scottish, Welsh, Irisb and West Isidian contributions,
asid tbe final essay analyses the significance of Shakespeareasi quotatiosis in modern
usage. ‘[be Bibliograpby section at ube esid of the buuk contains alí te wurks cited,
in additiun tu otber useful publicatiosis, and tbere is a sburt but comprebensive index
where tbe reader will be able tu fisid referesices tu varied topies.
In her intruduction tu tbis cullection of papers, Ms Bassnett usiderlines tbat
successful communication can uní>’ tate place where tbcre is adequate awaresiess uf
the cultural context witin wbicb a lasiguage is used. Tbe autor also explaisis that
British (Cultural) Studies has developed alung twu parallel axes: the kind uf
knuwledge uffered tu non-native speakers of English, and which is intimately
cosisiected tu the stud>’ of te Englisb language, and ube other lisie uf tought wbicb
has growsi up within literary studies, and wbich emphasizes the products uf culture,
witb different types uf discourse asialysis. Tbis brancb of studies is common tu butb
native and siun-native speakers of English.
‘[be first essay, by Asitbony Eastbope, is entitíed Rut what is Cultural Studies?
It examines the urigins of Cultural Studies, tracing their devclopment from
Culturalism, thruugh Structuralism tu Post-Structuralism asid Cultural Materialism.
‘[be autbor propuses muvisig furward from isulated asid elitist literary studies tu
integrated Cultural Studies. This isivolves cbangisig metbuds, setting aside tbe
formalist cusicern for a study of te text «in itself», and tbe search for its hidden
greatness, since literature requires understanding in context.
In Facts and meanings in Rritish Cultural Studies, Alan Durant uffers
suggestions for sources of cultural data, such as interaction with natives, personal
testimonies, visits, tbe media, social rituals asid customs, social institutiuns, surveys
and statistics, as well as te isiterpretation of oter social manifestations including
architectural styles, fashion, asid hobbies. ‘[he autor claims that it is siecessary tu
engage actively with tbese suurces of isifurmation asid tu isiterrugate them, since be
believes that emphasis sieeds tu be placed un discussiosi asid comparisun witb osie’s
uwsi culture, at least as much as un mere presentation uf facts.
Cbristopber Brumfit explores te educatiunal backgruund tu te gruwisig interest
in British Studies, and deals wit ube content and tbeuretical basis of such courses,
tbeir impartiality (ur lack of it), and ube teacber’s role as mediator. In bis essay entitíed
BritisIt Studies: an educational perspective, be refcrs tu te rcquirements of te Britisb
National Curriculum, intruduced by te Education Act of 1988, asid te needs of ube

studesits residesit in Britain and in fulí-time compulsur>’ educatiun. ‘[be author
emphasizes tbat a leamer’s ksiowlcdge about bis own culture is a prerequisite fur
understanding a foreign culture, asid that Hritisb Studies must be conceived as a
comparative activity.
British cultures ma>’ be studied by native or sion-native speakers but tete are
fundamental differences between the two perspectives. In the case uf ube non-native,
language casi act as a barrier tu comprehension, asid in the next essay, entitíed
Cultural Studies ant) foreign language teaching, Michael Byram pruposes a model
of language learsier cumpetence with respect tu cultural learning. This author
persues similar issues related tu the topics of lasiguage, culture asid students’
perceptions uf foreign cummunities in utber essays published earlier (Byram 1991,
Byram 1993, Byram and Zarate 1994). Here he points out that tbougb there are
develuped tbeories of fureigsi language acquisition wbicb take into accousit facturs
such as age, isiterests and level uf competence, a similar concern wiub theories of
cultural learning is osily just beginning tu emerge, asid that tbe teacher must be
aware that “understanding”, “tolerance” asid “empathy” presuppose a psycbulugical
readiness in learners which may depesid un age, social factors or exposure tu furcigsi
languages asid cultures. Fureign lasiguage learners need “cultural awareness”,
enabling tbem tu anticipate cross-cultural cummunication prublems, but tbis
acquired skill involves a reflexive questionisig of learners’ values asid beliefs about
tbeir owsi culture.
The last essay of Part One deals with the relationsbip between teacbing modem
British fiction and Britisb Cultural Studies. David Punter asks if we are tu speak of
teaching fiction in te context of British Cultural Studies, or if we shuuld speak of
teachisig fiction as an aid tu tbe mure general study of British culture. In tbe title of
tbe essay, Fictional maps of Britain, te autbur refers tu te precunceived ideas, or
maps, carried in uur minds and wbich ma>’ influence te design asid teacbing uf a
course in literature (in tbis case pust-war Britisb fiction). He advises te teacher tu
chuose the texts and metbod carefully su as tu encourage cultural comparison and tu
present a varied set of pictures of Britain, tbe nccessary cuntext for the
comprebensiun uf ube literature studied.
Part Two begisis with an essay entitíed Dedefining Scotland, by Robert
Crawford. ‘[his cbapter is panicularly appropriate reading in ube light uf the rcccnt
referesidum un devolutiun in Scotlasid (September 1997). ‘[he autbor begins by
poisiting uut that thougb modem Scotland is a nation, it is not a state. It has tu put up
wit tbe insensitive attitudes uf sume Lundon-based isistitutiosis, but Scotland has
no isitention of lapsing into mere regional status, since it enjoys a higb international
profile. Tu usiderline tus point he cites numerous Scuttish contributions tu leaming
in the fields of literature, medicine, sciesice and tecbnology. He diesi comments un
sume of tbe more interestisig develupmesits in Scottisb Studies, drawing attcntion tu
recent wurks un Scotland’s histury, culture and traditiosis. Scuttish Studies are now
offered as degree cuurses at several Scottisb universities, and tbe autor sees this
developing cultural awaresiess as an isitellectual infrastructure for te cultural life uf
a future Scotland wiub democratic control uf its own affairs. In view of te positive
result of tbe devolution referendum, it is boped that tis will be te case.
Frum Scotland te reader muyes un tu Walcs, tu be guided tbrough Cymru or
Wales? Explorations in a divided sensibility, by Katie Gramich. ‘[he auubor begins
3. Reseñas 259
by examisiing what she has fuusid tu be a dual sensibility characterizisig tbe
inhabitants uf Wales. She recalís te pulitical test uf divided idesitity whicb took
place in 1979, with the Devolutiun Referendum in Wales, which received a
resounding “no” vote from tbe Welsh. (Wc shuuld add tbat a second referesidum
took place in September 1997, witb a marginally pusitive result for Welsb
devulutiun.) Ms Gramicb gives examples of duality ur division in Welsb cultural
and pulitical life, such as te cusiflict between tbe Anglu-Welsb inbabitants of te
Valleys and tIxose who live in tbe mainly Welsh-speaking area (Y Ero Gymraeg).
Wc are told tere appears tu be less hostility towards the Welsb-speaker than twent>’
years ago, altbuugb tbere are still areas wbere the language is regarded by man>’ as
sumething quite alien. ‘[be authur states tbat dualism seems tu pervade Welsb
culture (siorth versus south, Welsh versus Englisb, tuwn versus cuuntry. etc.), but
sbe suggests ubat ube reason tbis bisiary mudel is still so strong in Wales is tbat “it is
still a colunized cuuntry, subject tu imperialist ways uf tinking”.
In tbe next chapter Sabina Sharkey offers A view of Pie present 5/ate of Irish
Studies. Until the 1 980s tbese studies were absorbed in the teacbing of Irish
language (An Gaeilge) and literature. Nowadays ubere is a more multidisciplisiary
approacb as a result uf cusitemporar>’ develupments in critical and cultural studies.
In sMc ligbt uf growing interest for Irish culture, Ms Sbarke>’ warns against
stereotyping, and against making lists of outstandisig lrish personalities tu prove
how clever te Irish are. (In tbis aspect sbe differs from Robert Crawford whu gives
us a list of prominent Scottisb figures.) She also points out tbat Irish society is
extremel>’ diverse, influesiced by colunialism, religious questions, legislation, social
change, gender issues and tbe Northern lreland perspective. 51w believes tbat
culture ma>’ be studied tbruugh the bistorically specific interrelating of idesitity
factors, and recummends investigating tbe cumplex relationship between Ireland
asid Britain as pan uf Irisb Studies.
David Dabydeen’ s isiteresting essay un TeacIting West Indian literature in Britain
begins by currecting a commusi superficial view beld b>’ white Europeans ubat West
Indian culture is “cuol, bip and sub-cultural”. He also laments ube fact tat for te
moment Caribbean Studies is a “marginal and tokenistic” ficíd of study witbin te
Western academy. More specifically, tbe autbur explains tbat if tbe teachisig uf
Caribbean literature is tu be successful, the teacher must abandon Westem critical
tbeur>’ as being inappropriate tu an understasidisig of West Indian literature. He
suggests ubat what must be analyzed is a set of propusitiosis about te history and
culture of te region, derived frum te bud>’ of creative writing itself. ‘[be criteria for
literary judgement sbould be based un te works temselves and not, as Dabydeen
says, “frum Plato and bis fuutnoters”. He proposes a recusiceptualization of te nature
of West Indian-ness. Instead of cositinuing tu focus un te ways in which Britain made
an impact un tbe ecunulny, social asid kinsbip institutions and psyche of African
síaves, ube authur believes tat more attention sbould be paid tu dic creative impact uf
African languages, pbilosophies and cultural practices un te day-tu-day lives of wbite
masters. Furtbermore, te autor suggests that Caribbeanists in te Westem world
know very little about Amerindian languages, oral asid writtesi expressiuns, myts,
religions, art, music, diet, or gender relations, and tat ube>’ are still ver>’ timid extemal
ubservers uf ube regiun. Asiotber neglected aspect of Caribbeasi Studies is te cultural
contribution of Asian immigrants tu te region. Wbcn tese Amerindian and Asian
4. 260 Reseñas
influences un Caribbean culture are recognized asid studied in depth, it will become
ubvious tat West Indian people are not merely creatures of Britain, furged by British
cultural values, thus dispellisig dxc myth abuut dxc “crumblisig uf native cultures
before Britaisi’s superior imperial might”.
‘[he last chapter, Shakespeare in quotations, is an analysis of the use references
tu tbe Natiosial Bard in tbe media. John Drakakis comes tu tbe conclusion that tuday
Shakespeare is “a cullage of familiar quutations, fragmesits whose relation tu any
cuheresit aestbetic principIe is both problematical and irremediably ironical”.
Shakespeare is a “cultural icun”, quoted and misquoted, disintegrated, satiiized, asid
appropriated by diverse entities, accordisig tu necessity. ‘[be author gives an
example uf how Shakespearean anatogies and/or quutations can be used tu justify,
ubematize or even hide tbe truth bebind a suciopolitical reality sucb as the downfall
of Margaret Thatcher. He also gives examples of how advertising can almost rewrite
tragedies, witb the line ‘Wherefure art tbuu, Romeo?” being used tu prumote a
“lonely hearts club”, with the iinplicatiun that if the couple ir questiun bad used it
services, their tragic dilemma would have been avoided. Similarly, television
comed>’ parodies well-ksiown fragments of Shakespearean drama, and the ultimate
reapprupriatiun of tbe National Bard takes place, accordisig tu tbe autbur, in Star
Trek VI: The tindiscovered Country. in which te alien (3orkon asserts: “You’ve nut
experienced Shakespeare until yuu’ve read him in tbe original Klingun”. Although
this may sound unurthudox and usidesirable tu many readers, 1 ratber agree wiub te
autbur, whu believes that ube fragmentation of what was unce a Shakespeare Canon,
and its dispersal across a range of cultural productions, serves tu reach those
exeluded until now from tbe sphere of «bigh culture», and tu demystify te prucess
of civilization itself.
Studying British Cultures is certaisily wortbwbile intruductury reading. Tbough
the authors uf tbe essays bave cusitrasting views un huw tu study culture, or
cultures, the unif>’ing principIe behind them is the need tu define Britishsiess and the
question uf cultural idesitity. 1 bave found it tougbt-provoking, asid useful as a
stimulus tu opesiing up wider borizons un te curriculum.
