Nancy Drew And The Hardy Boys: The Secrets Of Our Favorite Teenage Sleuths, Patricia Bravender
Nancy Drew And The Hardy Boys: The Secrets Of Our Favorite Teenage Sleuths, Patricia Bravender
Patricia Bravender
If the words ‘mystery’ and ‘clue’ still give you a shiver of excitement, you were probably a fan of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. These books, read by millions, were the target of teachers and librarians who were largely successful in keeping them out of libraries for over 50 years. Nancy Drew and Frank and Joe Hardy had a secret that was too much for the times and certainly bigger than they ever encountered in River Heights and Bayport. Patricia Bravender will reveal the secret of these series books and talk about why these books were (and still are) …
Monkee Business: The Musical And Commercial Revolution Of The 1960s, Andrew T. Murphree
Monkee Business: The Musical And Commercial Revolution Of The 1960s, Andrew T. Murphree
Andrew T Murphree
Very few bands in the history of American popular music possess a more captivating story of rapid ascension to commercial acclaim than that of The Monkees, an American rock band that was brought together in 1966 by executives at Screen Gems, a division of Columbia Pictures. Originally conceived for the purpose of a television show that followed the everyday life of four young musicians aspiring to become the next Beatles, their artificial construction as a band represented their primary purpose as a commercial venture as opposed to a traditional artistic endeavor. While The Monkees rose to success as a merchandising …

Material Agency In The Urban Material Culture Initiative, Robert Rotenberg
Material Agency In The Urban Material Culture Initiative, Robert Rotenberg
Robert Rotenberg
This contribution to the discussion of collecting contemporary objects reviews the implications of taking seriously how and what objects communicate, especially how we can identify the ways messages are coded in the forms of familiar objects.

I advocate an approach to collecting in museums based on the tactics people use to create these assemblages at home. What theorizing about material agency offers to our collection program is a focus …
