The Hirschhorn is given annually to the most outstanding thesis written by one of our students during the previous year. Theses are judged on the originality of the project, the strength of the research, and the quality of the writing.<br /><br />This year we had thirteen total nominees and a tie for the award! The winners were Joey McGarvey (May 2012) and Scott Kaplan (January 2012). Their thesis titles and abstracts are below.<br /><br />Our nominees were:<br /><br />Christopher Cappelutti (May 2012)<br /><i>The Many Faces of Ulysses: Joyce and Dante Rewrite Tradition</i><br /><br />Michelle Dennis (May 2012)<br /><i>Unyielding Passions: Reexamining Sentimental Fiction</i><br /><br />Nick Gutierrez (January 2012)<br /><i>Some Small Measure of Hope for the Possibility of Meaning: Reading the Ethics of Literature and the Literature of Ethics</i><br /><br />Sarah Latanshyn (September 2011)<br /><i>"From Uzhhorod there is a road" to Lemkovyna: Music and Identity Among the Lemkos</i><br /><br />Tamir Morag (September 2011)<br /><i>Public Atmosphere and Policy Making in Israel on the Eve of the Six Day War</i><br /><br />Beatriz Olivetti (January 2012)<br /><i>Conceptual Strategies: Curating Emptiness and Performance at the 28th Sao Paulo Biennial</i><br /><br />Ryan Petersen (May 2012)<br /><i>Heavy Metal Warriors and The Monster-Terrorist-Fag: subcultural Biopolitics and Heavy Metal Masculinity in America's War on Terror</i><br /><br />Cara Ryan (May 2012)<br /><i>American Catholics Meeting Islam: Soidarity, Partnerships and Resistance</i><br /><br />Zeinab Saiwalla (May 2012)<br /><i>Unpacking Rituals: Understanding What Lies Beneath Two Commonplace Dawoodi Bohra Practices</i><br /><br />Roy Schwartz (May 2012)<br /><i>Is Superman Circumcised?

By breaking down the various meanings attributed to fabulousness, I will be attempting to explain an evolution in quer theatre that Kushner is actively pursuing from the Theatre of the Ridiculous to his Theatre of the Fabulous. I will argue that Kushner’s methodology for this change is related to the way in which he politicizes feeling within two of his most Brechtian plays: A Bright Room Called Day and Slavs!. In these two plays, I will examine how Kushner’s characters both indulge in a hopeless complacent feeling I will refer to as elegant despair as well as willfully and hopelessly struggle with a complicated hopeful and powerful political feeling, which I will refer to as moral exuberance. Through these two emotions, I argue that Kushner’s political theory of the fabulous becomes most apparent, and invite us to imagine a way in which our queer aesthetic can imagine and feel toward utopia.<br /><br />Joey McGarvey<br /><i>The Stagecoach and the Pear: The New York Fruit Festival and the Metaphors of Ninetheenth-Century American Authorship</i><br /><br />Abstract:<br />“The Stagecoach and the Pear” is divided into two chapters. The first takes a primarily historical approach and represents the first real exegesis of the Complimentary Fruit and Flower Festival, an event hosted by the New York Book Publishers’ Association on September 27, 1855. The event brought together seven hundred booksellers, publishers, and authors in New York City to celebrate the decade’s literary success. Significantly, as many as fifty—and probably far less—of those who attended were female authors. In this first chapter, I ask the question: Why fruit? Why did the Association’s secretary, publisher George Palmer Putnam, decide his menu would consist almost entirely of produce and pastries (and would entirely omit alcoholic beverages)? One clear answer is as an enticement to these women, who were both apprehensive about attending and phenomenal sources of profit to the publishers who could gain their trust. As I develop the macrohistorical themes of the Festival in a way that has not previously been done, I also reveal the Festival as an active site of negotiation among some of the most prominent men and women of letters at a highly charged moment in literary history. Specifically, I argue that male publishers develop a metaphor for authorship—particularly female authorship—through fruit, allowing them to treat these women as commodities.<br />
<br />In the largely literary second chapter, I theorize a genre of women’s writing that I call the tale of mobility. Here, I claim that the women writers invited to the Festival had begun to develop their own metaphor for authorship through periodical tales of travel and place beginning in the 1830s. This metaphor stressed experience over commodification, and suggests both women’s excitement and anxiety about authorship. In both chapters, I repeatedly draw on a previously untapped archive, the New York Public Library’s collection of over 190 response letters from authors and other literary notables invited to the Festival, preserved by Putnam in a scrapbook. These letters, I argue, reveal the dialogue, hopes, and fears inherent in the Festival—and in mid-century literary culture—in an entirely new way.<br />

The range of the conference proved impressive, with the notion of “acceptance” arising in many different forms, from the acceptance of a single writer or thinker into the German canon to the notion of the perception of Germany itself from without. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Volker Mergenthaler, a visiting professor from the University of Marburg, delivered the Keynote Address, “Die Regeln des Spiels und das Spiel mit den Regeln: ‘Nine Eleven’ und die deutschsprachige Literatur,” (The Rules of the Game and Playing with the Rules: ‘Nine Eleven’ and German-language Literature). Professor Mergenthaler discussed the effect of 9/11 on German-speaking writers’ work and how the literary landscape changed in the years following the attacks on the Twin Towers. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I presented on a panel with a student from Boston University whose paper, “Seeing the Other Germany: Western Perceptions of Identity in East German Art,” followed through lines of the abstract and the political from the post-World War I paintings of Otto Dix to, more recently, the poster for the film, </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Goodbye Lennin!</span><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, from the “western” perspective. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My paper, “Rubble Films of the German and International Screens,” discussed how German, American, Italian, and Jewish directors dealt with guilt, complicity, and victimhood in post World War II Germany and what roles those notions played in how to re-accept Germany back to civilization after the reign of the National Socialists. The films I covered are called </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Trümmerfilme</span><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> or Rubble Films because they take place largely amid the rubble of post war Europe, namely Berlin, and surfaced mostly between 1946 and 1949, between the end of the war and the division of Germany into the eastern and western states. My answer to the question of re-acceptance? Well, though the differences in the films gave hints as to each filmmaker’s views, it seems each one would respond with a different variation on “I don’t know,” given the complexity of the problem and the expressive possibilities of film. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Draper sent out the call for papers and this was, after all, a graduate conference, so I expected a challenging, rigorous, and ultimately rewarding experience. No surprises there, but what I did not expect was the feeling of community among The University of Washington’s graduate students in their Department of Germanics that extended to the guest presenters at the conference. After the final panel had presented and the papers had been explored through a thrilling Q&A session, the organizers and presenters gathered in Seattle’s Gas Works Park, overlooking Downtown Seattle and the Space Needle, for a picnic where we discussed the weekend’s work and got to know each other. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I hope Draper continues to promote The University of Washington’s Department of Germanics Graduate Student Conferences and strongly encourage other Draperites to answer these calls for papers. </span></b></span></span></div>Larissa Kyzerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04752811476597483939noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987186406387093895.post-53737439461744734082012-05-14T12:49:00.000-04:002012-05-14T12:49:37.236-04:00Deadline Extended CFP: The Crisis of the Book (Due 6/1)<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Light',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"></span><br />

From
scroll to codex, printing press to computer screen, revolutions in

How
is knowledge produced? What role does the book play as cultural,
material, and sacred object? What is the place of the modern library in
the electronic age? How does the field of new media studies reflect
evolving social contexts? How do we “see” graphic novels or navigate
through hypertext fiction? What questions concerning copyright and
intellectual property does the digital age raise?</div>

FORUM DESCRIPTION</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Graduate School of Arts and Science and the Institute of Fine Arts are pleased to invite nominations and applications for a specialized interdisciplinary forum for graduate students whose work addresses modes of visual representation and their products. Focused on the ways in which cultures give form to visual experience, the Forum on Forms of Seeing aims to bring together students from a wide range of graduate programs. Applications are encouraged from students who have strong historical and/or theoretical interests in images and visuality in the broadest sense, and who wish to become closely familiar with other disciplines concerned with visual representation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Over the past few decades, many disciplines have become interested in “visuality” as a wider natural and cultural phenomenon that includes not only the traditional fine arts but imaging practices of all kinds, from cinema and popular print culture to digital reality techniques and scientific modeling. Anthropology, Philosophy, History, Literary Criticism, Psychoanalysis, and Neuroscience have taken significant interest in the concept of the visual, and relatively young disciplines such as Cinema Studies and Visual Studies or Visual Culture put visual representation at the center of their research. Art History itself has become more cognizant of the limitations of traditional medium‐bound definitions of the image, and has taken up a more fluidly‐defined visuality as one of its central problems. Reflecting the dramatic expansion of visuality as a category for scholarly inquiry, the Forum invites applications for membership from any NYU graduate program. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
How images in different periods and cultures imitate, model, render, or critique the world and our visual apprehension of it, for their makers and for their viewers, will be of central interest to the Forum. This historical and comparative approach may profitably be complemented by a philosophical understanding of the image as record of, or model for, acts of seeing. The creation, dissemination, function, signification, efficacy, duration, destruction, and demise of images will be welcome topics for the Forum.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MEETING FORMAT</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Membership in the Forum on Forms of Seeing will be for one academic year, commencing in September 2012 and ending in April 2013. All eight members will present and critique work in progress during monthly, moderated lunch sessions, scheduled on Fridays, from 12–3 p.m., at Washington Square and the Institute of Fine Arts. The meetings will culminate in a one‐day event at the end of the semester, showcasing the year’s presentations. Members are expected to attend every session and to participate in the end‐of‐year symposium. A stipend of $500 is distributed per semester.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
APPLICATION PROCEDURE</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To apply for membership in the 2012‐13 Forum on Forms of Seeing, please provide a one‐page statement of your scholarly interest in visual representation and the relevance of interdisciplinary debate about visuality for your graduate work. Your application should include a current transcript (unofficial is fine), CV, and a recommendation by a NYU faculty member. Please submit your completed application electronically by end‐of‐day Wednesday, May 23 to Anna Antoniak (<a href="mailto:anna.antoniak@nyu.edu" target="_blank">anna.antoniak@nyu.edu</a>).

This course introduces incoming and first-year graduate students to the practice of academic <span class="il" style="color: #222222;">writing</span>. We’ll cover some of the specific forms and styles that graduate students routinely encounter, including: grant proposals and prospectuses, abstracts, book and literature reviews, critical essays, and research papers. We’ll also seek to demystify the <span class="il" style="color: #222222;">writing</span> process by discussing some of the practical problems that <span class="il" style="color: #222222;">writers</span> face and breaking down the process into manageable tasks at each stage.</div>

Because this course is a practical, hands-on workshop, it will be centered around what you <span class="il" style="color: #222222;">write</span> from week to week, as well as in-class<span class="il" style="color: #222222;">writing</span> activities including peer review, feedback, editing, and discussion. Readings will consist of short articles on particular aspects of<span class="il" style="color: #222222;">writing</span>, and examples of the genres we are working with.</div>

Aside from the <span class="il" style="color: #222222;">writing</span> you produce during the course, you should also have a longer paper that you would like to revise, either something in progress or previously <span class="il" style="color: #222222;">written</span> for another course. It doesn’t have to be a fully polished piece but it should have a recognizable shape with introduction, body and conclusion fleshed out. In case you do not have a suitable paper available, we can make other arrangements.</div>

<b><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Cambria","serif";">“Global Lives”</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Cambria","serif";">The rapid changes currently experienced in the different
spheres of contemporary life are loosely addressed by the term “globalization.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Cambria","serif";">How do we theorize these changes? And perhaps more
importantly, while these changes are often considered a global phenomenon, are
they not also shaped by a set of discourses? This calls for a reconsideration
of key terms such as “domination” and “hegemony”, as well as of the various
intellectual/cultural positions associated with them. In particular, we aim to
reconsider the cultural sphere as a globalized phenomenon in which cultural
products circulate on a worldwide scale, and as a sphere where “global”
experiences are articulated.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Cambria","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Cambria","serif";">The conference will attempt to explore some of the many
aspects of this globalized view of culture, as well as other aspects of global
lives, economical, political or other. We seek to engage scholars from a wide
range of disciplines to bring together the different theories and perspectives of
globalization in order to articulate the diverse experiences of living in a
globalized world.</span></div>

COURSE
DESCRIPTION</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Popular beliefs about higher
education arise as much from literary, and cultural, sources as from academic
and professional research.<b> </b>This
innovative course interrogates the idea, “How do we know what we know about
higher education?” By applying a humanistic method the course engages the
imagination of writers and readers, in
discovering and re-discovering the meaning, history, and purposes of higher
education. Through the lens of literature, but also of the other arts and
media, students will understand the hopes, fears, and conflicts associated with
higher education. </div>Lauren Robertshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05529374494588874249noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987186406387093895.post-31412244226980338672012-04-26T11:29:00.000-04:002012-04-26T11:29:20.613-04:00DSO Conference: Arriving at Confluence -- THIS SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 3-6pm at Draper<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

of memory, playing on the title of Frances Yates' influential text <i>The Art of Memory</i> (1966), in which she traces mnemonic techniques from the classical age to the Enlightenment. </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Participants
will discuss the arts and artifices of memory practice, including those
embedded in physical forms, such as photographs and memorials, as well
as in actions, such as exhumations, walking tours, and online
interaction. Interdisciplinary in scope, the conference reaches for new
ways to conceptualize the arts of memory through the visual, tactile,
textual, and synesthetic expressions of the past. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

While there are specific explanations for the rise of the current wave of reality, reality programming is not new to television and has developed out of and in relationship to other non-fiction television forms--specifically game shows, participation programs, magazine news programs and, of course, documentary. This course will survey the history and development of documentary and reality television and its implications for the aesthetics, form, business and culture of television. Students will develop analytical skills needed to understand the aesthetics and culture referenced and created by the documentary tradition and reality-based programming as well as the business and marketing strategies that have been instituted in relationship to it.</span><span><span style="color:#888888;"><span style="font-size:18px"></span></span></span></p><span><span style="color:#888888;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;font-size:11px"> <span style="font-size:18px"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;font-size:11px"><i><span style="font-size:18px">Susan Murray is Associate Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at NYU.
