If it is a potential common denominator linking local communities and the community of the court, however, it casts doubt on the Crown's ultimate power to control performance patronage as a mechanism for drawing micro-structures of power and knowledge into the desired hegemonic macro-structures of allegiance and meaning.
Taken in the context of the urban community and the dynamics of power relationships within the network of theatrical patronage, Pole's severe image was not an especially fortunate choice for the Crown's public face.
Despite the Crown's attempts to control and censor the mechanisms of communication, a play associated with the Queen's own players opened the door to negotiated meanings which suggest that as in the case of printed propaganda, the Crown's counter campaign was neither closely controlled and orchestrated nor especially sensitive to its audience.

Urban change analysis between two dates was also part of this experiment, which led to the following observations: present urban dynamic change analyses are often only partial whereas, to the planner, regional and local scale knowledge of these changes are becoming more important.

The Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art is presenting a huge exhibition of optical and kinetic art, with the goal of contributing to the historical and theoretical knowledge of this artistic trend which emerged during the nineteen fifties through the work of Victor Vasarely, Jesús-Rafaël Soto or Nicolas Schöffer.
The exhibition takes the visitor on a "sensory journey" based on four aspects: the eye as motor (breathing surfaces and optical acceleration), the eye as body (manipulations, polyvisuality, and physical installations), the eye as computer (the binary system and cybernetic constructions) and the acoustic eye (play of light, objects and soundscapes).
The four notions of this exhibition are examined in special studies by Anna Dezeuze, Marcella Lista, Michel Gauthier, Emmanuel Guigon, Arnauld Pierre and Pascal Rousseau in the catalogue published by the Strasbourg museums' publications department to mark the occasion.
