Feminist Film Theory And Art Education, Michael J. Emme Jan 1991

Feminist Film Theory And Art Education, Michael J. Emme

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Every ten years or so, lonely voices make themselves heard in the art education literature shouting something like ‘Pay attention to the “newer media” (Lanier, 1966, p.7), or ‘Have you heard? There a “new image world” (Nadaner, 1985, p.9) out there.’ One writer even suggested that “directed, critical inquiry of [television] will extend knowledge in art and aesthetics and enhance the quality of peoples’ lives (Degge, 1985, p.85) Despite these sporadic exhortations, Jaglom and Gardner’s (1981) observation that “our culture has not yet invented ways of presenting [the mass media] or teaching its structure to children” (p.35) is still true …

Community Projects And The University Curriculum: Re-Searching For A Civil Rights History Through Community Photographs, Jan Peterson Roddy, Benita R. Vanwinkle Jan 1991

Community Projects And The University Curriculum: Re-Searching For A Civil Rights History Through Community Photographs, Jan Peterson Roddy, Benita R. Vanwinkle

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

The following articles represent a collaborative process, as does the project that we will discuss. It is not within the scope of these articles to engage in an in depth examination of community photography. This practice and its relationship to high art, cultural production and representation has been the topic of other very interesting investigations. We will instead focus on a possible relationship between community photography and the higher education curriculum, wherein each project facilitates the other. The first article represents my view of the pedagogical foundations of this relationship as the instructor and a participant in this process. The …

A Para-Critical/Sitical/Sightical Reading Of Ralph Smith’S Excellence In Art Education, Jan Jagodzinski Jan 1991

A Para-Critical/Sitical/Sightical Reading Of Ralph Smith’S Excellence In Art Education, Jan Jagodzinski

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Figuratively speaking Smith is an old, old man, at least three-hundred and fifty years old, a reincarnation of Matthew Arnold who established the field of liberal-humanist cultural tradition between 1852-1882. At that time, English literature carried into the school curriculum was an act of faith whereby the great works of literature would have a civilizing influence on the nation. They could do for the masses what the classics had apparently failed to do for the privileged: to provide a bulwark against rising materialism (akin to the leisure and apathy of our youth today); compensate for the failure of religion to …

Origins, Bob Bersson Jan 1991

Origins, Bob Bersson

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

An organization is frequently founded when Iike-minded people come together around issues and goals they feel strongly about. That is exactly how The Social Theory Caucus came about. We, as socially progressive, critically minded individuals, found each other so we could form an organizational home and agency of change within the National Art Education Association. Needless to say, no other organization within the art education profession was fulfilling those two functions for us.

Dr. Nancy R. Johnson, Karen A. Hamblen Jan 1991

Dr. Nancy R. Johnson, Karen A. Hamblen

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Dr. Nancy R. Johnson served as the Coordinator of the Caucus from 1983 to 1987. In that sense, she is a factual part of the history of the Caucus, and she needs to be mentioned in any discussion of how the Caucus was founded and how it developed. I believe, however, that Nancy's career and her association with the Caucus are more significant than the facts of the matter or even what she accomplished as Coordinator; rather, her career and what she valued are paradigmatic in many ways of why the Caucus was formed and why it continued to include …

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Because this is our tenth anniversary year or because we are prescient or because we are in a perpetual state of healthy doubt, the Caucus began the task of self-definition al the last conference. Our newsletter, published three times this year, has featured a chain of letters in which eight of our 122 members have reflected upon what the term “social” in Social Theory means. Two of the sessions on this year's (conference) program continue that dialogue.

The Names Quilt And The Art Educator’S Role, Doug Blandy, Karen Branen, Kristin G. Congdon, Laurie E. Hicks Jan 1991

The Names Quilt And The Art Educator’S Role, Doug Blandy, Karen Branen, Kristin G. Congdon, Laurie E. Hicks

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

During October of 1989, more than 9,000 individual memorial quilt panels were collected and displayed in Washington, D.C. by the NAMES Quilt Project. The panels, covering the equivalent of nine football fields, made public the grief of thousands of individuals and families whose loved ones have died of AlDS. This quilt, the NAMES Quilt, is an international effort to create a living visual memory of the devastation that the AIDS virus has inflicted on those who have died from the disease and those who have been left behind to grieve.

Commentary, Nick Webb

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

These remarks are adapted from part of the session at the 1990 NAEA conference in Kansas City that debated the proposition: “The Caucus on Social Theory is Neither Social nor Theoretical.” Webb subtitled his statement: "As the imaginary wine bottles said to the vintner - we're with you in theory but you can't cork us."

Popular Culture’S Revolt Against The Normalizing Consequences Of Tradition, Pat Rafferty Jan 1990

Popular Culture’S Revolt Against The Normalizing Consequences Of Tradition, Pat Rafferty

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

For several years there has been an ongoing debate regarding whether street art (graffiti) qualifies as art or could be more aptly described as vandalism. While this paper does not claim to resolve the issue, a discussion of the corollary of that - the extent to which we are willing to tolerate divergence from normative expectations, lends insight into the topic of the means and limitations of what is representable as art.

Editorial Re(Mark)! The Question Of Representation, Jan Jagodzinski Jan 1990

Editorial Re(Mark)! The Question Of Representation, Jan Jagodzinski

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

As the perceptive, or should I say - receptive reader may not(e), no thumbprint appears in the margins of this years editorial-rather, an index finger 'figures' prominently. The index sign is particularly apropos for this issue for index signs give us dues to what is being represented. Deceivingly, they establish their meanings through a physical relationship to their referents. As Krauss puts it: "They are the marks or traces of a particular cause, and that cause is the thing to which they refer, the object they signify. Into the category of the index, we would place physical traces (like footprints), …

Creativity And Political Identification In The Work Of Herbert Read, David Thistlewood Jan 1990

Creativity And Political Identification In The Work Of Herbert Read, David Thistlewood

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

The idea of a class conflict, in which a powerful minority subjugates the majority among other ways by depriving it of any sense of self-esteem deriving from worthwhile, original work - that is, by suppressing its creativity - was something Herbert Read acquired through his youthful involvement in the late stages of the Arts and Crafts Movement. It was a premise he was never seriously to question, as was the corresponding idea that to assert one's right to be creative was to engage in a political act. He was certain that artistic conventions were the means of suppression, and that …

Art Education And The Promotion Of Intercultural Understanding, F. Graeme Chalmers Jan 1990

Art Education And The Promotion Of Intercultural Understanding, F. Graeme Chalmers

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

The comparative study of art, of response to art, and the production of art forms which matter can help us to understand each other. Art has always been a powerful force in shaping our vision of the world. We need to understand each other's vision and keep our own alive. We need to combat any art-for-art's-sake attitudes that may be entrenched in schools because it is a rather peculiar notion of art and one that deters a full understanding of the role of art in a variety of contexts and cultures. In contrast, art educators who view art as a …

The Promises Of Art Appreciation: The Foundations Of Aesthetic Education, Charles R. Jansen Jan 1990

The Promises Of Art Appreciation: The Foundations Of Aesthetic Education, Charles R. Jansen

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

A history of appreciation could quickly multiply into a collection of histories, some tracing theories of appreciation as a phenomenon of mind and some tracing appreciation as a pedagogical subject or goal. In order to limit the directions a history of appreciation could take, this paper assumes that art appreciation in pedagogy encompasses and reflects various theories of art appreciation as a process of mind and thus focuses on the institutionalization of art appreciation.

The Limits Of Linear Modes Of Inquiry Into Naturalistic World-Views: A Case Study Of Cherokee Culture, Karen L. Sorensen, Charles G. Wieder Jan 1990

The Limits Of Linear Modes Of Inquiry Into Naturalistic World-Views: A Case Study Of Cherokee Culture, Karen L. Sorensen, Charles G. Wieder

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

We begin with the cultural-anthropological assumption that a people’s world-view is based in concepts of time and process, and is reflected in the ceremonies, customs, rituals, and other traditional patterns of social conduct within the society. In a case study of the Native American Cherokee, linear modes of inquiry, characteristic of Western science, are shown to be limited in their capacity to examine and appreciate these dimensions of culture in pre-literate societies. It is suggested that those aspects of our own culture which are grounded in aesthetic value may also be relatively inaccessible for the same reason. By examining meanings …

Collecting Women’S Art And Native American Artificates: Issues For Museum Curators, John Wilton Jan 1990

Collecting Women’S Art And Native American Artificates: Issues For Museum Curators, John Wilton

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Egalitarianism is quite possibly the education buzzword of the eighties. Egalitarianism is belabored in the literature of late that it seems inconceivable that any person or institution with any degree of social responsibility has not yet acted to realign the programs and policies of our biased past. Yet many major social groups still remain disenfranchised in the current American cultural scenario. This commentary addresses the predicament of two of those groups-women and Native Americans. While seemingly unrelated, both groups share a common dilemma: their voices, their opinions and their expressions are not yet respected in the realm of art and …

Art Education In The Time Of Aids, Peter Schellin Jan 1990

Art Education In The Time Of Aids, Peter Schellin

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

The health crisis which in recent years has depleted the ranks of the art community, has not received much formal notice in art education journals. A continuing stigma remains attached to AIDS due to its appearance among gay men and IV drug users. Many people pretend it is not there. My own life has become consumed by it, due to the illness of many, many friends and associates. For nearly two years, because of the enormity of the crisis combined with relatively little action on state and federal levels and the mounting grief and loss in my own life, I …

A Modernity-Postmodernity Dialectic On Men In Feminism, Karen A. Hamblen Jan 1990

A Modernity-Postmodernity Dialectic On Men In Feminism, Karen A. Hamblen

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

In my discussion of men in feminism, I will focus on this topic in terms of art educators employed in higher education. My comments are based on the assumption that feminism and its attendant values, attitudes, and behaviors are seen as something that men, in some way, react to, adjust to, or, just plainly, take into consideration at this time in history. An ostensibly neutral stance is not possible - ignoring feminism is itself charged with value judgments. Questions, however, arise as to how an optimum state of sex equity and gender consciousness might occur and what relationships men would …

Feminism As Metaphor, Amy Brook Snider Jan 1990

Feminism As Metaphor, Amy Brook Snider

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

When I was first invited to be on a panel discussing “Men in Feminism," my only thoughts on the topic were, "Sure, we need men in feminism. Feminism is a way of looking at the world, so why not!" But then I continued to myself how could I be a spokeswoman for men? Maybe only men are in a position to talk about the subject, Perhaps if I read the book. Men in Feminism, the selection of presentations from two sessions of an MLA Conference in 1984 which inspired this panel, I'd have more to say about the topic ... …

Queen-Of-The-Mountain: A Game I Can Play, Ken Marantz

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

From the top, let it be known that I was dragged into this arena, persuaded to participate only out of friendship for the organizers. My avowed reluctance was a function of genuine puzzlement about my ability to add any notions of substance to an already overloaded panel (I objected to the number of panelists, concerned about front-end overload) and to concerns which to these simple-minded ears are far too academic for me to understand.

The Not So Mysterious Ways Of Mystification, Georgia Collins Jan 1990

The Not So Mysterious Ways Of Mystification, Georgia Collins

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

According to my reading of Men in Feminism, in the Modern Language Association, male interest in feminist issues is already considerable: MLA men lecture and write in the feminist mode; want to be acknowledged for doing so; and ask that discussions of male responsibilities and roles be placed on the feminist agendas. The task of defining roles for sympathetic males in what is otherwise understood to be a woman's “do-it-yourself" movement may be a real problem for our MLA sisters. But back in the NAEA, we have a different set of problems and, I would submit, a unique opportunity for …

On The Impossibility Of Men In Feminism: Taking A Hesitant Step Through The Minefield Of Pheminism In Art And Education, Jan Jagodzinski Jan 1990

On The Impossibility Of Men In Feminism: Taking A Hesitant Step Through The Minefield Of Pheminism In Art And Education, Jan Jagodzinski

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

The relationship of men in pheminism is an impossible one. On the one hand, the "proposition" of the preposition is intrusive; it signifies break and enter with all the multiple meanings that this entails, from virginal to criminal reprochment. On the other hand, the “preposition" of the proposition is an illusionary one, both in its flirtatious invitation to men and in its very non-existence of being, for there is no inside nor outside. Men are "implicated” in this relationship by virtue of both their difference and indifference which lie on either side of the "membrane" that separates the sexes. In …

Acting Out Caring: An Andogynous Trait, Clayton Funk Jan 1990

Acting Out Caring: An Andogynous Trait, Clayton Funk

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

A problem in gender studies concerns frequent critique of sex-role stereotypes. But how often do we analyze characteristics that men and women have in common? The notion is doubtful that women must be essentially nurturant and empathic, and that men must be analytical and assertive. The strongest educators possess the best of both, no matter the gender, and are usually capable of modeling a sensibility of caring about learning.
