Modern Time: Photography And Temporality, Kris Belden-Adams 2010 CUNY Graduate Center

Modern Time: Photography And Temporality, Kris Belden-Adams

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This dissertation explores the fluid relationship of photography to time. Many theorists have noted that photography has a distinctive manner of representing temporality. Roland Barthes, for example, wrote that the photograph has a peculiar capacity to represent the past in the present, and thus to imply the passing of time in general. As a consequence, Barthes argued, all photographs speak of the inevitability of our own death in the future. Moreover, he linked photography's peculiar temporality to its capacity for a certain kind of realism: "false on the level of perception, true on the level of time." Barthes's analysis poses …


No Bones About It: Evaluating Faunal Evidence For Ancient Lifestyles At Tall Jalul, Jordan, Chelsea L. Grimstad 2010 Andrews University

No Bones About It: Evaluating Faunal Evidence For Ancient Lifestyles At Tall Jalul, Jordan, Chelsea L. Grimstad

Honors Theses

Analysis and characterization of faunal remains -- those bones and bone fragments collected from archaeological sites -- allows anthropologists and archaeologists to more completely reconstruct the ways in which ancient societies survived and interacted. As animals have invariably played an integral role in human society, providing transportation, draft, and a consistent food source, the study of their bones can elucidate the lifestyles and cultural practices of the people who raised and utilized them. Faunal remains for this project were collected and identified during the 2009 dig season at Tall Jalul in Jordan as part of the Madaba Plains Project. Further …

Colombian Artists In Paris, 1865-1905, Maya Jiménez 2010 CUNY Graduate Center

Colombian Artists In Paris, 1865-1905, Maya Jiménez

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This dissertation brings together a group of artists not previously studied collectively, within the broader context of both Colombian and Latin American artists in Paris. Taking into account their conditions of travel, as well as the precarious political and economic situation of Colombia at the turn of the twentieth century, this investigation exposes the ways in which government, politics and religion influenced the stylistic and thematic choices made by these artists abroad. For those who were pensioned artists and who were restricted by a defined political agenda, their artistic experimentation was limited, while the more radical artists were typically wealthy …
