Notes--The Times They Are A-Changin': Literary Documentary Editing In An Electronic Post-Structuralist World, Joel Myerson Apr 2006

Notes--The Times They Are A-Changin': Literary Documentary Editing In An Electronic Post-Structuralist World, Joel Myerson

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

I began working as a literary textual editor in the summer of 1968, my second year of graduate school at Northwestern University. At that time Northwestern housed The Writings of Herman Melville and I was taken on board as a trainee. I will always remember the shining moment when I realized that I had mastered the Hinman Collator and that a great future awaited me because of it. I spent the next three years working there, and in the next decade got up to speed on my own. I served as a vettor for the Center for Editions of American …


Appreciating A Pretty Shoulder: The Risquie Images Of Charles Ellis Johnson, Daniel Davis Apr 2006

Appreciating A Pretty Shoulder: The Risquie Images Of Charles Ellis Johnson, Daniel Davis

Library Faculty & Staff Publications

Housed in the collections of the Special Collections and Archives at Utah State University is an intriguing set of risqué photographs dating roughly from 1890 to 1910. Some of the images are stereo-views or cabinet card portraits of burlesque actresses either in tights or displaying bare necks, shoulders, and upper bosoms. Other photographs in the collection are even more suggestive with women undressing, lounging about with dresses that reveal their thighs, wearing body suits, and removing one-another’s clothing. By today’s standards they are more comical than pornographic. Considering the conventions of the time, however, especially in conservative, turn-ofthe-century Utah they …

Presidential Address--A Salute, Roger Bruns

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

I have enjoyed the presidency. It has been exhilarating. I especially loved the trips around the country in the Association's airplane-ADE One. This whole thing about being president has been heady. Of course there have been the lows. My job approval rating, for example-it is still around 8%. That hurts. At least ADE did not invade Iraq!

Chronicling The Early Court: A Look Back At Project's End, Robert P. Frankel Jr.

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

As I speak here today, the end is definitely near for The Documentary History of the Supreme Court We have sent back the page proofs for the eighth and final volume and are now scurrying to complete the index. On 31 December, the project will officially go out of business. Of course, it would be difficult to claim that we have rushed these volumes into print. The project began in 1977. People invariably will say: "You are telling me that it has taken thirty years for you to do a history of just the first ten years of the Court." …

Announcement--Note From The Editor, Marianne S. Wokeck

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Under the current circumstances of easy and widespread electronic communication, reduced budgets, and increasing costs for printing and postage, it seems practical as well as prudent to streamline the publication schedule of Documentary Editing by collapsing the Winter and Spring issues into one Spring issue (published in February) and the Summer and Fall issues into one Fall issue (published in August). The current issue (Volume 28, Number 4) brings the old schedule to a close; Volume 29 (2007) is transitional; and Volume 30 will appear under the new regimen of two installments that fit the rhythm of the academic calendar: …

Ade Treasurer's Report, Fiscal Year, September 1, 2005-August 31, 2006

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

The finances of the Association for Documentary Editing have improved over the last year. This year, we had an increase of $6,438 in the general budget, giving us unrestricted assets of nearly $61,000. This increase was a nice change from three consecutive years of minor deficit spending. The increase can be attributed to several things: first, there were approximately forty more dues-paying members this year; second, the dues increase was in effect for the entire year; third, interest rates more than doubled from the previous year; and finally, several of the expenditures were much less than budgeted. While the addition …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Esther Katz, PhD, editor and director of New York University's Margaret Sanger Papers Project (MSPP), plans four volumes in this series, with MS's activities in the international birth control movement to appear in Volume Four. In 2004 the journal Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries included The Woman Rebel, 7900-7928 on its list of "Outstanding Academic Titles.,,3 Volume Two, Birth Control Comes of Age, released in March of 2007, covers MS's life and work between 1928 and 1939.4 The goal of the series, says Katz, is "to highlight Sanger's distinctive voice and illumine the multiple narratives of her life and …


Socio-Cultural Degeneration And State Patronage Of The Arts: Mapplethorpe, Cultural Crisis, And The Nea, Greyson C. Brooks Jan 2006

Socio-Cultural Degeneration And State Patronage Of The Arts: Mapplethorpe, Cultural Crisis, And The Nea, Greyson C. Brooks

Undergraduate Research Symposium (UGRS)

The goal of this paper is to investigate how the Untied States federal government, specifically through the National Endowment for the Arts, or NEA, has acted in the position of an arts patron in the past few decades. Specifically, this paper will focus on the past decade and a half since the 'arts crisis' of the late 1980s and the social and political backlash against the art community in the 1990s, which was only against ‘offensive’ art that was seen as morally and culturally corruptive. I explore the political, social, and economic forms the backlash took, particularly rooted in a …
