The New Woman Narrating The Histor(Ies) Of The Feminist Movement, Francesca Sawaya
The New Woman Narrating The Histor(Ies) Of The Feminist Movement, Francesca Sawaya
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
To dip into the scholarship about the New Woman is to be puzzled by the extensive focus on and the strong disagreement about chronology. Why do some scholars offer such a wide range of years for the New Woman, and others such a narrow range? And why do the dates - whatever they may be - diverge so widely? What becomes clear is that date matter not because the New Woman can be easily periodized - after all, there are no legislative or political milestones that mark her entrance or exit from the public stage - but because she herself …
In The Moment Of Violence: Writing The History Of Postemancipation Terror, Hannah Rosen
In The Moment Of Violence: Writing The History Of Postemancipation Terror, Hannah Rosen
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
This collection of eleven original essays interrogates the concept of freedom and recenters our understanding of the process of emancipation. Who defined freedom, and what did freedom mean to nineteenth-century African Americans, both during and after slavery? Did freedom just mean the absence of constraint and a widening of personal choice, or did it extend to the ballot box, to education, to equality of opportunity? In examining such questions, rather than defining every aspect of postemancipation life as a new form of freedom, these essays develop the work of scholars who are looking at how belonging to an empowered government …
Rhetoric And Digital Media, Ian Bogost, Elizabeth M. Losh
Rhetoric And Digital Media, Ian Bogost, Elizabeth M. Losh
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
Critics of computational media can often be seen as being allied with one of two genealogies, that of Marshall McLuhan or that of Friedrich Kittler. McLuhan famously declared that "the medium is the message" (1964: 7) and expanded the range of cultural messages worth celebrating to include media that might seem to resist interpretation, such as lighting and clothing. McLuhan also distinguished between "hot" media, such as film, which supposedly provide an audience experience of deep immersion through sequential, linear, and logical arrangements, and "cool" media, such as comics, which require perception of abstract patterning and a simultaneous decoding of …
"'Dying To Live': Remembering And Forgetting May Sinclair”, Suzanne Raitt
"'Dying To Live': Remembering And Forgetting May Sinclair”, Suzanne Raitt
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
For Sinclair, the past was a wound. She feared being unable to escape it, and she feared in turn her own persistence in a form that she could not control. Mystic ecstasy – what she called the “new mysticism” – was a way of entering a timeless realm in which there was no longer any past to damage her. But she was also fascinated by what could never be left behind – hence her interest in heredity, the unconscious, and the supernatural. However, the immanence of the future can also emancipate us from the past, in Sinclair’s view, and this …

The Spanish Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage rooted in the Medieval period and increasingly active today, has attracted a growing amount of both scholarly and popular attention. With its multiple points of departure in Spain and other European countries, its simultaneously secular and religious nature, and its international and transhistorical population of pilgrims, this particular pilgrimage naturally invites a wide range of intellectual inquiry and scholarly perspectives. This volume fills a gap in current pilgrimage studies, focusing on contemporary representations of the Camino de Santiago. Complementing existing studies of the Camino’s medieval origins, it situates the Camino as a modern …

Women Out Loud: Hearing Knowledge And The Creation Of Soundscape In Islamic Indonesia, Anne K. Rasmussen
Women Out Loud: Hearing Knowledge And The Creation Of Soundscape In Islamic Indonesia, Anne K. Rasmussen
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
The study of listening—aurality—and its relation to writing is the subject of this eclectic edited volume. Theorizing Sound Writing explores the relationship between sound, theory, language, and inscription. This volume contains an impressive lineup of scholars from anthropology, ethnomusicology, musicology, performance, and sound studies. The contributors write about sound in their ongoing work, while also making an intervention into the ethics of academic knowledge, one in which listening is the first step not only in translating sound into words but also in compassionate scholarship.
Immoral Science In The Picture Of Dorian Gray, Suzanne Raitt
Immoral Science In The Picture Of Dorian Gray, Suzanne Raitt
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
Near the beginning of The Picture of Dorian Gray, the painter Basil Hallward explains to Lord Henry Wotton exactly what it is about Dorian Gray that inspired him to paint such an exquisitely beautiful portrait. Basil explains, “[Dorian] defines for me the lines of a fresh school” of art, and his “personality has suggested to me an entirely new manner in art, an entirely new mode of style. I see things differently, I think of them differently. I can now recreate life in a way that was hidden from me before.”1 In the course of the narrative, Hallward’s phrase “recreate …
Fragmentos Culturales E Identidades Recicladas, Regina A. Root
Fragmentos Culturales E Identidades Recicladas, Regina A. Root
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
La moda siempre ha sido parte de la historia argentina pero, como afirma el presente volumen, también ha tenido sus propias historias para contar. Tiene un pasado de moda, revelado continuamente en los procesos culturales y en las nuevas filosofías que afirman una diversidad de estilos y tendencias.
Con un enfoque detenido en los momentos clave que definen la moda desde el siglo XVIII hasta nuestros días, los ensayos de este libro dan cuenta de las múltiples relaciones entre la moda y la identidad nacional hasta llegar a la complejidad de nuestra época posmoderna, global, rápida y sumamente mediatizada, heterogénea …
Introduction To "Citizens Of Memory: Affect, Representation, And Human Rights In Postdictatorship Argentina", Silvia Tandeciarz
Introduction To "Citizens Of Memory: Affect, Representation, And Human Rights In Postdictatorship Argentina", Silvia Tandeciarz
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
Citizens of Memory explores efforts at recollection in post-dictatorship Argentina and the hoped-for futures they set in motion. The material, visual, narrative, and pedagogical interventions it analyzes address the dark years of state repression (1976-1983) while engaging ongoing debates about how this traumatic past should be transmitted to future generations. Two theoretical principles structure the book’s approach to cultural recall: the first follows from an understanding of memory as a social construct that is always as much about the past as it is of the present; the second from the observation that what distinguishes memory from history is affect. These …
Women Dancing Otherwise: The Queer Feminism Of Gu Jiani’S Right & Left, Emily E. Wilcox
Women Dancing Otherwise: The Queer Feminism Of Gu Jiani’S Right & Left, Emily E. Wilcox
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
In twenty-first-century urban Chinese contemporary dance, gender and female sexuality are often constructed in ways that reinforce patriarchal and heterosexual social norms. Although “queer dance” as a named category does not exist in China, it is possible to identify queer feminist perspectives in recent dance works. This essay offers a reading of representations of gender and female sexuality in two works of contemporary dance by Beijing-based female Chinese choreographers: Wang Mei’s 2002 Thunder and Rain and Gu Jiani’s 2014 Right & Left. Through choreographic analysis informed by ethnographic research in Beijing’s contemporary dance world, this essay argues that Thunder …

Corporate Capitalism And Racial (In)Justice: Teaching The Colonel’S Dream, Francesca Sawaya
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
Growing up in Cleveland after the Civil War and during the brutal rollback of Reconstruction and the onset of Jim Crow, Charles W. Chesnutt could have passed as white but chose to identify himself as black. An intellectual and activist involved with the NAACP who engaged in debate with Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois, he wrote fiction and essays that addressed issues as various as segregation, class among both blacks and whites, Southern nostalgia, and the Wilmington coup d’état of 1898. The portrayals of race, racial violence, and stereotyping in Chesnutt’s works challenge teachers and students …
