A Day In History: Glimpsing The Land As Primary Source, James Armstrong, Peter Lutze, Laura Woodworth-Ney

For nine years, three Idaho professors have researched the early culture of the irrigated settlement communities along the Snake and Boise Rivers in southern Idaho. Massive federal projects in the early 1900s transformed southern Idaho from desert into arable land, thereby creating the foundation for Idaho as it is today. Through historical photographs and writings, the work of historians, and first hand visits to historical sites, we have tried to understand this brief, pivotal period in Idaho history. We have presented our findings through in poetry and videos, what Richardson (1994) calls “evocative representations” of research data. A host of …

Videopoetry: Collaboration As Imaginative Method, Peter Lutze, James Armstrong, Laura Woodworth-Ney
James Armstrong
Three Idaho professors (a poet, videographer, and historian) have been collaborating for eight years on a cross-disciplinary project called VideoPoetry, which integrates historical narration, narrative poetry, historical photographs, and videography into the video medium. To this point we've worked primarily on a specific program, Culture of Reclamation, which explores the culture of the early irrigated landscape communities in southern Idaho. In reflecting on our work-process, we’ve discovered that we’ve fundamentally changed as scholars as a result of our collaboration. This paper identifies the nature of our changes and documents instances of the ways in which we have been challenged to …

Culture of Reclamation (Armstrong, Lutze, & Woodworth-Ney, in progress) is a sequence of "videopoems" about Idaho, integrating poetry, historical photographs, music and videography in a video presentation, which also includes historical narrative. Three Idaho scholars in the fields of history, literacy education, and communication—the historian (Laura), poet (Jamie), and videographer (Peter)—collaborated on this cross-disciplinary project to reclaim a portion of the history of this state in a creative and engaging medium. Culture of Reclamation expresses a response to the culture of the early irrigated settlement communities along the Snake and Boise rivers. Between 1894 and 1920, a land rush to …
Videopoetry: Historical Photography In The Desert Garden, Peter Lutze, James Armstrong, Laura Woodworth-Ney
Videopoetry: Historical Photography In The Desert Garden, Peter Lutze, James Armstrong, Laura Woodworth-Ney
James Armstrong
This paper presents an integration of poetry, history and photography through the video medium to convey a cultural history of the irrigated desert in southern Idaho, USA, around 1900. The VideoPoetry project is an investigation of cultural history that employs video and poetry to make it come alive. This social history is revealed through the lives of Clarence E. Bisbee and Jessie Robinson Bisbee of Twin Falls, Idaho. Their marriage focused on their photography business that involved documenting the transformation of the desert into farms, towns, and cities. This project brings out for public view a selection of historical photographs …
