A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words: László Moholy-Nagy And The Photobook, Sarah Hill

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

In this paper with a corresponding visual exhibition, I will examine the Hungarian modern artist László Moholy-Nagy's 1925 photobook Malerei Fotografie Film (Painting Photography Film) and his optical theories about how technology can impact human perception of time and motion. I will also investigate Moholy-Nagy's influence on other important photobooks of the era, such as Franz Roh and Jan Tschichold's Photo Eye: 76 Photos of the Time, and the important 1929 Film und Foto (Film and Photography) exhibition, known as FiFo, in Stuttgart, Germany. I will draw particularly on Pepper Stetler's 2015 book Stop Reading! Look! Modern Vision …

From Family Storytelling To Emancipatory Knowing: Bearing Witness To The Resistance Of Black Women Leaders In Higher Education, Eboni Sterling

Dissertations

We, in the Black community, have preserved our existence and histories through storytelling. The blessing of stories passed from one generation to the next serves as survival signposts. Amidst this tradition, ongoing dominant narratives work to mischaracterize and dehumanize members of the Black community, specifically Black women. The unique and intersectional position of Black women leaders invites an onslaught of racial challenges in any sector. However, a complex relationship exists between Black women leaders in academia and the metanarratives manufactured by dominant groups. While often viewed as entertainment, the cultural practice of storytelling can incite empowerment and emancipation of the …

Sensing Brownness: On Racialization, Perception, And Method, Amber Jamilla Musser

Publications and Research

Maureen Catbagan’s Dark Matter (2020) photography series invites us into sensing brownness. In these images of museum passages and stairwells, silhouettes of museum guards, and evocative shadows, Catbagan presents the landscape of the museum. However, this may not be immediately recognizable because the photographs draw focus to the parts of museums to which we rarely pay attention. In particular, Catbagan’s attention to the presence of guards allows us to perceive dynamics of racialized and gendered labor and laborers who, in an echo of their architectural focus on minor, peripheral spaces and shadows, hover between the underrecognized and oft-neglected, thereby allowing …

The Usambara Knowledge Project: Place As Archive In A Tanzanian Mountain Range, Chris A. Conte

History Faculty Publications

The essay chronicles the early phases of a digital history project on landscape change in the mountains of eastern Tanzania. In collecting sources for a land and culture narrative, the project aims ultimately to create an archive that is locally produced in Tanzania and maintained by Utah State University Library's Special Collections and Archives division. The project draws on more than thirty early twentieth-century landscape photographs from the Usambara Mountains in northeastern Tanzania by Walther Dobbertin, a professional photographer living in German East Africa. In the fall of 2015, team members scouted the sites for repeat photographs. The following summer, …

Pod + College Crusade Photo Journaling 2022, Project Open Door

Project Open Door + Onward We Learn

Participating artists: Abigail, Abdoulaye, Amelia, Aneishka, Emely, Gaby, Joanne, Jaxson, Joshelin, and Simone.

Photography is a tool that can help us to “SEE.” What does this mean? If we are not visually impaired, we can, of course, physically see. But how much do we miss seeing? How much do we take for granted unless we take the time to look? With assignments that hope to inspire careful observation, we can use the camera to observe things in our familiar surroundings in quite extraordinary ways. Photography can help us become more observant and help us have a fulfilling visual life. During …

They found textures, shapes, colors, numbers, and letters through photographic explorations of their familiar surroundings. In doing so, students created an individual photo journal over the week.

Fastidiosa, Jean-Mar Caimi, Valentina Piccinni, Tiffany Jones

Photography

228 pages : illustrations (some color). First discovered in the touristic Gallipoli region in 2013, the bacteria Xylella Fastidiosa has rapidly been killing olive trees in Salento over the past several years. The disease is spread by sap sucking insects and stops the flow of water and nutrients through the xylem vessels, causing trees to die from the inside out. In an effort to contain further outbreaks, EU authorities dictate that all trees within 100 metres of one affected must be destroyed, whether it is infected or not. The result is economic catastrophe in a region where olive oil production …

Photography

65, [64] pages : color illustrations. "Comprised of two parts spiral bound together on opposite edges. One part, Rosy- consists of 28 color photographic images of dawn, titled 28 Suns. The other part, Crimson, contains the script of the play Rosy-Crimson along with and performance notes and an essay entitled ""An intimate alienation,"" by Wendy Vogel. 'Kim Hoeckele's performance Rosy-Crimson results from the accidental misreading of a recurring line in Homer's Odyssey--""dawn's rosy fingers""--which she transforms into a willful reconfiguration of meaning. Appropriating all the text from the Odyssey that references dawn, Hoeckele's script centers the feminine personification of daybreak, …
