VCU Today, 1972-1988

VCU Today, the University’s first official administrative organ, began as a somewhat irregular monthly publication but moved to a bi-weekly newspaper format in the 1980s.

[Review Of] Lloyd Fernando, Ed., Malaysian Short Stories; K. S. Maniam, The Return; And Wong Meng Voon, Glimpses Of The Past, Cheng Lok Chua

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

These three books of fiction are set in the multilingual and multiracial context of Singapore and Malaysia, two Southeast Asian nations once part of the British Empire and now a region peopled by a volatile mix of indigenous Malays (roughly 45%) and immigrant Chinese (43%), Indians (10%), and Europeans (0.4%). Reflecting the diversity of this region, one book is a short story anthology by a Chinese (Wong), another a novel by an Indian (Maniam), and the third a collection of stories edited by an Eurasian ( Fernando). All three books have some astonishing strengths and some unfortunate lapses, with Maniam's …


Critique [Of Racial Identity Among Mixed Adolescents In Hawaii: A Research Note], Vagn K. Hansen Jan 1983

Critique [Of Racial Identity Among Mixed Adolescents In Hawaii: A Research Note], Vagn K. Hansen

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Relatively few individuals have the option of choosing an ethnic identity. In most cases that identity is ascribed by parentage or by societal perception. Kinloch's research illuminates both the considerations which may be involved in making a choice of ethnic identity in those persons who have the option and the results of the choice for his sample group.

Art Research And Curriculum To Accomplish Multicultural Goals, Myrna T. Amdursky Jan 1983

Art Research And Curriculum To Accomplish Multicultural Goals, Myrna T. Amdursky

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

If there were no budget constraints, art education would be nice. Most people agree it’s fun to do, and students do enjoy it. But most people also think it's a frill and unnecessary. As thinking art educators, we must address these issues and the concerns of our policy makers. We must definitively respond to the questions of why we spend all that time, effort, and money teaching art.


Critique [Of Economic And Psychic Exploitation Of American Indians], Dennis Stewart Jan 1983

Critique [Of Economic And Psychic Exploitation Of American Indians], Dennis Stewart

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Perhaps the most valuable contribution that Professors Bataille's and Silet’s treatise makes is to connect the images of the American Indian in movies with antecedent images. The scope of their investigation predates Columbus, includes critical American historical imagery production, takes the reader to the very beginnings of the movie industry, and brings us up-to-date on the effects of the "Great Society" outfalls for both image. and employment of American Indians in the screen entertainment establishment.


Poe Per Se, Robert Williamson Storrs Iv Jan 1983

Poe Per Se, Robert Williamson Storrs Iv

Theses and Dissertations

There are four elements involved in this production of Poe per se which make it interesting and suitable as a thesis: the actor, the subject, the format, and the audience. I will discuss the problems posed by each and the methods of attack I will pursue to those problems. I will then describe the evolution of the script from research through performance. My conclusion will be an assessment of the success of the script in solving my acting problems.


A Critique Of Elliot Eisner’S Educating Artistic Vision, John Jagodzinski Jan 1983

A Critique Of Elliot Eisner’S Educating Artistic Vision, John Jagodzinski

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Educating Artistic Vision is an "old" book written a decade ago. As such there are many aspects in it, I'm sure, Eisner would not accept today. Therefore, the critique is made by keeping his later works, particularly The Educational Imagination (1979), in mind. To begin, Eisner claims that there are two major justifications for the teaching of art, both of which he presents in an either/or fashion. First a contextualist justification is made by claiming that art satisfies social needs. From this perspective, the practice of art must be pragmatic: art as leisure, art as creative thinking, art as self-esteem …


Marginal Images: Art And Ideology In The School, Dan Nadaner Jan 1983

Marginal Images: Art And Ideology In The School, Dan Nadaner

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Art has come to connote something that is eclectic and unpredictable. Art may be concerned with the aesthetic organization of visual elements, or it may defy conventional aesthetics; it may seek to interpret visual experience, or it may interpret psychological phenomenon that have no visual manifestation; it may have significant social content, or it may not. Art defies generalizations about its form, but welcomes more readily a characterization of its spirit. Art is inquiring, open-ended, illuminating, often startling. Art is very close to the central concerns and experiential reality of the artist. While it is increasingly difficult to say what …

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Bulletin Number 3 continues the lively exchange of ideas, information, and views about the relationship among art, social and cultural values, and education. The assembled authors provide us with thought-provoking articles on modern art, educational ideology, and curriculum; with vigorous arguments from differing sides of the "elitism versus populism" debate; with socially-oriented reviews of major art education texts; and with an annotated bibliography of relevant study resources.


Modern Fine Art: A Vehicle For Understanding Western Modernity, Karen A. Hamblen Jan 1983

Modern Fine Art: A Vehicle For Understanding Western Modernity, Karen A. Hamblen

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

While art curricula are not without reference to twentieth century fine art, the social significance of modern fine art has been a neglected area of study. The purpose of this paper is to survey and review the model characteristics of modern society and modern fine art. Striking similarities are revealed in such a review which strongly suggest that a study of modern fine art in art education could serve to problematize both the social origins of modern fine art and the values of Western modernity.


Socially Relevant Practice In Art, Culture, And Environment, Nancy R. Johnson Jan 1983

Socially Relevant Practice In Art, Culture, And Environment, Nancy R. Johnson

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

What is socially relevant practice? From my perspective, socially relevant practice has to do with making knowledge available to students that enables them to know about social institutions and contexts associated with the visual arts. In other words, the students are provided with experiences that lead them to an understanding of the phenomenon of art in culture and society so that they can assess and decide what their own relationship will be to concepts and objects comprising the visual arts.

Critique [Of Retention Of Undergraduate Minority Students In Institutions Of Higher Education], Linda M.C. Abbott Jan 1983

Critique [Of Retention Of Undergraduate Minority Students In Institutions Of Higher Education], Linda M.C. Abbott

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Increased retention of minority undergraduates is a goal that can be supported for a variety of reasons, from the avoidance of human waste, to concern for balanced institutional budgets, to the desirability of turning out larger numbers of minority graduates who will become professional role models for the next generation. The authors have presented a state·of·the·art review of some promising retention programs, together with recommendations for strengthening such programs.

Concluding recommendations are presented which can contribute to the successful retention of minority students.

Abstracts From The Eleventh Annual Conference On Ethnic Minority Studies, 1983, Ontario, California

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

We asked discussants for the 1983 Conference to summarize their responses to the papers in their sessions, and Stewart Rodnon of Rider College provided a statement which comments specifically on the session for which he was discussant and summarizes the significance of many of the papers delivered at the 1983 Conference. His comments serve as a meaningful preface to these abstracts.


Economic And Psychic Exploitation Of American Indians, Gretchen M. Bataille, Charles L.P. Silet Jan 1983

Economic And Psychic Exploitation Of American Indians, Gretchen M. Bataille, Charles L.P. Silet

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Two general points can be made about Euroamerican exploitation of American Indians: first, whatever level of exploitation they have experienced by the motion picture industry, it is part of a long tradition which dates back to the earliest contacts between white Europeans and Indians; and second, that the exploitation has taken on two forms-economic and psychic. Just how Indians have been taken advantage of economically is relatively clear. Euroamerican history texts happily record the ways in which the native inhabitants of the American shores were bilked, with the $24 worth of beads, for Manhatten [Manhattan] Island and with equally inequitable …

Critique [Of Economic And Psychic Exploitation Of American Indians], Terry Simmons

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

James Joyce once said that history is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake. This article by Gretchen Bataille and Charles Silet is part of our collective process of awakening. The first portion of this article recounts the psychological and economic consequences to the conquest and domination of American Indians by more recent immigrants from Europe, Africa, and Asia. However, one need not dwell upon the history or the tragic unpleasantness of these post-Columbian events. Instead, the focus here is on present blurry eyed attempts to live in and cope with a multicultural, twentieth century North American society.
