This document explores different ways that art and artists can be censored. It discusses three main themes: censorship by authority through silencing dissenting voices like musicians in Iraq and the band Pussy Riot in Russia, censorship through the idea of "post-truth" and controlling the narrative using social media as seen in protests, and internal self-censorship as a result of dominant cultural values being promoted by powerful groups in society.A knight's tale opening sequence analysis

The document discusses Shakespeare's adaptation of Chaucer's Troilus and Cressida and debates whether Shakespeare intended to debasing the tale. It notes that Shakespeare worked within the constraints of the preexisting story and characters. While Chaucer's version is more lyrical, it still has underlying comedy and irony. Pandarus in particular takes on a subversive and farcical role, which was amplified by other writers. The document analyzes different scholars' views on how Shakespeare portrayed Pandarus compared to Chaucer, concluding that Shakespeare adjusted the character to appear more like a scoffer in line with his name.Knights Tale

The document provides an overview of how representations of love developed through two literary periods in English literature - the Elizabethan/Jacobean periods (1509-1642). It discusses two core traditions that emerged in Middle English - the Romantic tradition, which portrayed love in an idealized manner, and a more realistic earthy tradition. In the Elizabethan/Jacobean periods, these traditions were sustained, with authors like Shakespeare combining the high romance with low bawdy elements. Other developments included the emergence of the love sonnet and metaphysical conceits used by poets like Wyatt, Donne and Marvell to explore physical and philosophical aspects of love.The knight’s Tale, A Romance by Geoffrey Chaucer

Chaucer's Canterbury Tales follows a group of 29 pilgrims traveling from London to Canterbury to visit the shrine of St. Thomas Becket. To pass the time during their 55 mile journey, they agree to engage in a storytelling contest where each pilgrim will tell two stories on the way to Canterbury and two on the return, with the best storyteller receiving a prize. However, Chaucer only wrote 24 tales from the journey to Canterbury, giving insight into some of the pilgrims and their stories but not completing the full frame tale.

APM event hosted by the South Wales and West of England Network (SWWE Network)
Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APM’s Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APM’s PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMO’s within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.
