A Menu And Its Implications On Filipino And American Culture, Caitlyn Begosa
A Menu And Its Implications On Filipino And American Culture, Caitlyn Begosa
SOURCE Explore Program
I analyzed a collection of menus collected from around 1950s to 1960s from the Kay Shaw Nelson Papers. I decided to focus my research around a menu from the Philippines. From here, I analyzed the graphic design and word choice of the menu to come to the conclusion that it was targeted towards an American or English-speaking tourist audience. Then, I researched the history of food tourism in the Philippines and how it helped flourish the country’s economy. Although the Filipino menu from Nelson’s collection inspired the brunt of my studies, I also noticed the small amount of Asian menus …
Oneida Community Collection: Through The Lens Of A Murder Trial, Franny Porreca
Oneida Community Collection: Through The Lens Of A Murder Trial, Franny Porreca
SOURCE Explore Program
For my SOURCE Explore project with SCRC, I looked at their collection on the Oneida Community. More specifically, I sifted through some community progress reports that documented various happenings that were important to them from 1848 through 1874. From there, I narrowed my scope and one individual who was formally a member of the Oneida, Charles Guiteau. He was responsible for shooting President Andrew Garfield, and the second half of my presentation was focused on the Supreme Court transcriptions from his trial.
Exploration Of Silhouettes: 1960s Through 2010s, Annabelle Reichelt
Exploration Of Silhouettes: 1960s Through 2010s, Annabelle Reichelt
SOURCE Explore Program
I did my research project on fashion and trends and observed how they change over time. I know from previous knowledge that trends come in cycles, so I used this knowledge to choose other time periods that would have similar trends. The collection of photos I looked at from the archive is from the 1960s and shows a runway show for a charity event. Since this is from the 1960s, I looked at Vogue Runway, which is an archive website that has many high fashion shows going back to the 80s, to collect photos from shows from the 90s and …
Syracuse And Basketball: A Love Story, Shane Holcombe
Syracuse And Basketball: A Love Story, Shane Holcombe
SOURCE Explore Program
I would sum up this project as one that challenged me as a student to take a deeper dive into hands on material that depicted Syracuse Athletics' history. I enjoyed that hands on experience and appreciated the opportunity to look at some materials I would not have been able to look at if it hadn't been for the SOURCE Explore program.
Shutendooji Emaki Pagoda, Phoebe Feng
Shutendooji Emaki Pagoda, Phoebe Feng
SOURCE Explore Program
I researched the Shutendooji Emaki and the Pagoda. For the Emaki, I further interpreted its artistic value and cultural traditions based on its existing documents. For the Pagoda, since there is no document left, and its root was nowhere to be found, I compared it with other ancient Chinese and Japanese artworks and architecture, successfully found an identical one on a Chinese auction website, and identified its origin. It dates back to 770 and is extremely valuable since it is the earliest example of woodblock printing. Finally, I put the two artifacts together and researched the development of the Japanese …
Science Fiction: From Silly To Surreal, Rowel Jimenez
Science Fiction: From Silly To Surreal, Rowel Jimenez
SOURCE Explore Program
Science Fiction: From Silly to Surreal is a presentation outlining the evolution of science fiction from the 1930s to the modern day. The progress of the genre is shown through an analysis of old movies and TV shows from WWII America, demonstrating how science fiction was seen as a genre for children. During the 1950s and 1960s, the library's archives attracted significant research interest. In the 1950s and 1960s, the majority of the research concerning the library's archives came in the form of articles. These articles were produced by Mercury Press Records, which then made The Magazine of Fantasy & …
A Case Study Of An Atypical Perspective On The First World War, Patrick Riley
A Case Study Of An Atypical Perspective On The First World War, Patrick Riley
SOURCE Explore Program
I came into the source with the big topic of the Treaty of Versailles. I eventually found an article that presented a perspective advocating for the winners to be careful in how harshly they punish Germany after their victory. I decided to switch the focus of my presentation to solely understanding this article. Early on, I found that his opinion was very unusual, so I invested in the usual opinion from the time period. I then spent some time understanding the meaning of the article and explaining why it was controversial for the time. Lastly, I looked at my research …
Walt Whitman: Intentions And Interpretations, Lance Watson
Walt Whitman: Intentions And Interpretations, Lance Watson
SOURCE Explore Program
In the process of analyzing an author’s work, we often make assumptions about their intentions. For famous and influential authors such as Walt Whitman, widely varied theories about intentions abound. In my research, I sought to compare some of these theories with resources outside of Whitman’s work itself. By looking at the letters Whitman had received and saved, as well as the edits he had made to his writing, I attempted to create a more holistic analysis of the intentions Whitman brought into his work.
Thomas Szasz: Anti-Psychiatry, Leila Liang
Thomas Szasz: Anti-Psychiatry, Leila Liang
SOURCE Explore Program
My time with the SOURCE Explore Program has truly been an incredible experience. I presented on a topic completely different from what I initially planned- only because I read a couple lines from his manuscript! Examining pieces of the past compelled me connect what was written more than 50 years ago to public opinions of the present. Is the "Szaszian" view now obsolete? What was his impact on society? Was he a good person? I aimed to answer these questions through my research.
Linda Troeller Papers, Miral Ali
Linda Troeller Papers, Miral Ali
SOURCE Explore Program
This project was born through a genuine interest in Linda Troeller and her work after I learned about her through the archives. Troeller’s art is a direct reflection of her inner state and my exploration was focused on her motivations. What prompted her to create such a raw, unfiltered, untarnished collection of the human condition, and how did she do it?
Research Methods Used In The Rodney Gilbert Papers And The Chen Chi Papers (1940-1960), Alyssa Tran
Research Methods Used In The Rodney Gilbert Papers And The Chen Chi Papers (1940-1960), Alyssa Tran
SOURCE Explore Program
Working with the SOURCE Explore program I was able to work with the Rodney Gilbert and Chen Chi Papers. Both of which are different in nature but aim to contrast the Asian American Experience of those already in America versus those who are from mainland China aiming to pursue higher education in the United States. By studying respected artwork from Chen Chi and analyzing the recommendation letters from Rodney Gilbert I was able to see how Americans viewed foreigners during the periods 1940-1960. I was also able to understand the history of the world at this time and it has …
