abstract:Aisling Smith completed her practice as research PhD program at NUI Galway from 2015 to 2018, focusing on the dramatic work of George Bernard Shaw. Specifically, she staged and directed three of his plays: a site-specific production of O'Flaherty V.C., an epic theater production of Pygmalion, and an intermedial production of The Millionairess. In this interview about her work, Smith discusses how relevant Shaw is to today's intellectual and performance scene and details the insights she gleaned into Shaw's dramatic work, including how, when creating her epic production of Pygmalion, she discovered new and revealing Brechtian elements in Shaw's play text and performance style.

abstract:This article analyzes how biases in Shaw's media environment are reflected in his experiences and representations of the First World War. After turning to contemporary media theory to assess the ways in which war mediates the legibility of one's surroundings, this article discusses Shaw's critique of war delirium in "Common Sense about the War." After examining excerpts from "Joy Riding at the Front" and the preface of Heartbreak House—which diverge in interesting ways from "Common Sense"—this article concludes by offering some speculative insights into what Shaw's war ambivalence contributes to new media theory.

abstract:As a journalist and photographer Shaw saw the opportunities for self-promotion offered by the burgeoning new photographic and print media in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. Owing to his connections with the influential editor Clement Shorter, Shaw had been taking advantage of technological improvements to the halftone process, which had made the mass printing of photographic images possible. Shaw was quick to acknowledge the possibilities of "celebrity" photojournalism; however as an accomplished photographer and critic, he focused on quality artistic portraits of himself that drew attention to his cultural interests, photographic expertise, and friendships. Self-portraits, and photographic portraits by the art photographers Frederick H. Evans and Alvin Langdon Coburn, were selected for publication to promote his life and work. Shaw's ability to harness art photography for the purposes of self-promotion through the popular newspaper-magazines of the day has not previously been recognized.
作为一名记者和摄影师,肖看到了维多利亚晚期和爱德华七世时期新兴的摄影和印刷媒体为自我推销提供的机会。由于他与有影响力的编辑克莱门特·肖特(Clement Shorter)的关系,肖一直在利用半色调印刷技术的改进,这种技术使大量印刷摄影图像成为可能。肖很快意识到“名人”新闻摄影的可能性;然而,作为一名有成就的摄影师和评论家,他专注于自己的高质量艺术肖像,吸引了人们对他的文化兴趣,摄影专业知识和友谊的关注。艺术摄影师Frederick H. Evans和Alvin Langdon Coburn的自画像和摄影肖像被选中出版,以宣传他的生活和工作。肖利用艺术摄影通过当时流行的报纸杂志进行自我宣传的能力以前没有得到认可。
