"One might be tempted to see the background of Joan Miro's Head of a Catalan Peasant IV for what it is (albeit in a certain limited sense): the Miro's physical encounter with the canvas. This scumbled blue ground -which I will call the background even though it often refuses or complicates the organization of a deep space- records in some detail the application of a thin layer of paint. Variations in the density of the paint even across the trajectory stroke appear in Head of a Catalan Peasant with exemplary clarity, so that t position of such brush strokes makes …
Conceptualizing The French Revolution: Problems And Methods, Ronald Schechter
Conceptualizing The French Revolution: Problems And Methods, Ronald Schechter
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
Excerpt from the book chapter: "In France, for roughly half a century, Marxist historians enjoyed a virtual monopoly over the academic historiography of the French Revolution. Beginning in 1928 the Sorbonne's prestigious chair in the History of the French Revolution was reserved for historians with a demonstrable commitment to socialism. The combination of a rigid hierarchy in French academia and a leftist orientation among French intellectuals more generally - -particularly during the quarter century after World War II, when the fabled anti-fascist record of communism provided it with moral authority - made it nearly impossible to challenge he reigning orthodoxy..."

The Qur'Ân In Indonesian Daily Life: The Public Project Of Musical Oratory, Anne K. Rasmussen
Articles
In Indonesia, amidst a plethora of unique Southeast Asian popular and folk music, Western music, and traditional gamelan styles, the recitation of the Qur'an pervades daily life as an archetype of Muslim authenticity. Removed by thousands of miles and hundreds of years from the source of Islam, Indonesians perform and experience the Qur'an in allegedly the same way as Muslims did during the time of the prophet, Muhammad. This article distills eight months of research as a student of professional male and female reciters of the Qur'an in Jakarta, Indonesia, the capital city of the country that is home to …

Consolidating Power: Technology, Ideology, And Philadelphia's Growth In The Early Republic, Andrew M. Schocket
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
This dissertation examines the ways that moneyed Philadelphians invented corporate power in America during the first four decades of the federal republic, specifically focusing on business corporations, such as canal companies and banks, and on a public corporation, Philadelphia's municipal government. Through evidence from company and municipal records and publications, the private papers and correspondence of corporate officers, newspapers, pamphlets, and legislative acts and proceedings, this study identifies the people and the technological and financial processes that contributed to the establishment and entrenchment of corporate economic and political power.;From the 1790s to the 1830s, Philadelphia-area residents demanded cheaper transportation, a …
The Slave In The Swamp: Disrupting The Plantation Narrative, William Tynes Cowan
The Slave In The Swamp: Disrupting The Plantation Narrative, William Tynes Cowan
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
In nineteenth-century plantation literature, the runaway slave in the swamp was a recurrent "bogeyman" whose presence challenged myths of the plantation system. By escaping to the swamps, the runaway, or "maroon," gained an invisibility that was more threatening to the institution than open conflict. The chattel system was dependent upon an exercise of will upon the body of the enslaved, but slaves who asserted control over their bodies, by removing them to the swamps, claimed definition over the Self. In part, the proslavery plantation novel served to transform that image of the maroon from its untouchable, abstract state to a …
