THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER (1941)

"The Play is the thing" pronounced by William Shakespeare in one of his writings so long ago that we don't know what he is talking about today. We have so many ways of listening and seeing and or listening and seeing that we do neither but what we are told. We are forgetting how to think because a lot of people are trying to do that for us, that is, the thinkers who have been taught by the thinkers in an everlasting mirror image reflecting its own image in another mirror mimicking itself infinitely. Perhaps this is what is meant by AI, that is, artificial inteligencie, and there are are some zombies that wash their brains everyday with the Television forgetting who we are. Here is an example. A classic. A short story made into a lot of medias. I want to take you to base roots, the short story itself latter turned movie. The audiobook is subtitled so you can follow along. Start there and later watch the movie and above all, think, think of what you have read and heard and latter seen. It will help you become human again. OH! And watch out for the Devil in miss Jones. (I don't want you to get the wrong picture). (Michael Paul's two bits)

Perhaps, before getting into the story, we should be asking ourselves who the hell is this grim good fearing looking dude Daniel Webster. I'll be brief.

Daniel Webster (January 18, 1782 – October 24, 1852) was an American lawyer and statesman who represented New Hampshire and Massachusetts in the U.S. Congress and served as the 14th and 19th U.S. Secretary of State under Presidents William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, and Millard Fillmore. Webster was one of the most prominent American lawyers of the 19th century, arguing over 200 cases before the United States Supreme Court in his career. During his life, Webster had been a member of the Federalist Party, the National Republican Party, and the Whig Party. He was among the three members of the Great Triumvirate along with Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun. (Read more: Daniel Webster - Wikipedia)

"The Devil and Daniel Webster" (1936) is a short story by American writer Stephen Vincent Benét. He tells of a New Hampshire farmer who sells his soul to the devil and is later defended by a fictionalized Daniel Webster, a noted 19th-century American statesman, lawyer and orator. The narrative references real events in the lives of Webster and his family.

The author also adapted it in 1938 as a folk opera, with music by Douglas Stuart Moore, a fellow Yale University alumnus. (Read more: The Devil and Daniel Webster - Wikipedia)

THE AUDIO BOOK

The Devil and Daniel Webster is a 1941 supernatural film based on the 1938 play adaptation of Stephen Vincent Benét's 1936 short story "The Devil and Daniel Webster". The play by Benét was in turn based on the libretto created by Benét for an opera adaptation of his short story with composer Douglas Moore, a project he began writing in 1937. Benét and Dan Totheroh adapted the play into the film's screenplay. The film's title was changed to All That Money Can Buy to avoid confusion with another film released by RKO that year, The Devil and Miss Jones, but later had the title restored on some prints. It has also been released under the titles Mr. Scratch, Daniel and the Devil and Here Is a Man. (The Devil and Daniel Webster (film) - Wikipedia)

REF: 701 NOTES

The Devil and Miss Jones is a 1941 American comedy film directed by Sam Wood and starring Jean Arthur, Robert Cummings, and Charles Coburn. Its plot follows a department store tycoon who goes undercover in one of his Manhattan shops to ferret union organizers, but instead becomes involved in the employees' personal lives.

With a screenplay by Norman Krasna, the film was the product of an independent collaboration between Krasna and producer Frank Ross (Jean Arthur's husband). Their short-lived production company released two films through RKO Radio Pictures (Miss Jones and the later A Lady Takes a Chance released in 1943). The film was well received by critics upon its release and garnered Oscar nominations for Coburn and Krasna. (Read more: The Devil and Miss Jones - Wikipedia)

The Devil in Miss Jones is a 1973 pornographic film, written, directed and produced by Gerard Damiano and starring Georgina Spelvin and Harry Reems. It is widely regarded as a classic adult film,released during the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984). After his 1972 success with Deep Throat, Damiano shot the film in a converted apple-packing plant in Milanville, Pennsylvania. Along with Deep Throat and Behind the Green Door, the film is associated with a time in American culture known as "porno chic", in which adult erotic films were just beginning to be widely released, publicly discussed by celebrities (like Johnny Carson and Bob Hope) and taken seriously by film critics (like Roger Ebert). The film's plot was inspired by the 1944 play No Exit by French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. The Devil in Miss Jones went on to spawn numerous remakes and sequels.

I remember that I do not believe in God. Insane thoughts race through my brain. I want to catch hold of something, something that will explain this mad fury, this maniacal congealed hatred that pours down on our heads. I can find nothing to console me, nothing to appease my terror. I know that hundreds of men are standing a mile or two from me pulling gun lanyards, blowing us to smithereens. I know that and nothing else.

GWCA First Lecture: Canada’s First World War and the Politics of The Past by Jon Weier

Jon Weier is a Western University of Western Ontario PHD candidate working on a dissertation National and Religious identities in the Canadian, American and British YMCAs During the First World War was the speaker for the night.

An unusual situation occurred before the talk. The power for the block of buildings in which the lecture was to occur went off and since the building was only on emergency power the people attend the event decided to walk to Cultures Coffee and retire there to have the seminar. It was a bit of a sight watching approximately 30 people tramping down Dalhousie Street in search of a building and business that had power.

Lecture Summary

Please note that these notes are from the lecture and the author has added content from his own experience and perspective.

Mr. Weier present his topic in rather unusual circumstances as the usual facilities where not available. His knowledge of his topic and reference to his visuals was a big help and the lack of them did not detract from his talk but would have enhanced it.

Taking a moment to introduce himself and his interest in history and the involvement of the YMCA in the First World War Mr. Weier hope to present the role of commemoration if the First World War and its commemoration in Canada.

As an example regarding perceptions of war he referenced the works by two works of art. One by British war artist Richard Jack and Canadian war artist and Group of Seven member, Frederick Varley. Both pictures show different conceptions of war by their form. One showing stoic Canadian heroism in the face of the enemy and the other showing the realistic aftermath of combat.

The Second Battle of Ypres, 22 April to 25 May 1915 by Richard Jack

“For What” by Frederick Varley, 1918.

His interest in the First World War stemmed from a CBC radio program that investigated the alleged crucifixion of a Canadian soldier at Ypres called “Canada’s Golgotha”.

Mr. Weier’s remarks reviewed the changes in attitudes towards war using movies and other media as examples.

In 1979 a remake of the classic 1930s war film “All Quiet on the Western Front” adapted from the book of the same title by Erich Maria Remarque was released to television. This film may have served as a proxy to overt statements against the Vietnam War as the conflict deals from a German perspective of the First World War.

The tensions and recent American defeat of the Vietnam war established an unpopularity of war movies. As the end of the Vietnam era came to a close the Cold War and its related tension in other geo-political areas stepped up the public concern for nuclear war. The Doomsday Clock was  at some of its lowest points in its history and the threat of actual nuclear war was so present that several NATO countries produced TV series in an expression of this fear. Of note was “The Day After” aired by ABC November 20, 1983 and was the 7th highest rated non-sport show at that time in regards to viewers. BBC Two aired “Threads” September 23, 1984 and it had the highest ratings of any show on that channel up to that time.

In addition cinema was making overt anti-war statements or portraying war in such a realistic manner as to visually, if not viscerally, impact the audience to respond to war. Of note are the American movies “Apocalypse Now” (1979) and “Platoon” (1986). Between the two moves “Apocalypse Now” is an adaptation of Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” and other influences and is a strongly allegorical thematically and not representative of actual events. In contrast, “Platoon” is written and directed by Oliver Stone (twice wounded and Bronze Star recipient) was a deeply violent and disturbing movie based on his combat experience in Vietnam.

Tom Berenger as Staff Sgt. Robert Barnes. The representation of the expression of war as the ends justifies the means. The use of terror and violence as necessary element of combat.

Robert Duvall as Lieutenant-Colonel Kilgore. The war loving commander who uses technology to defeat the enemy but to isolate himself from the violence. Watching from afar he remarks with deep melancholy: “Some day this war is gonna end.”

In Canada three examples of this expression toward war are represented by the re-release of the 1928 novella by Canadian soldier Charles Yale Harrison “Generals Die in Bed” in 1975 by Potlach Books. This novella is currently available at bookstores and at Project Gutenberg. CBC radio produced a series entitled “Flanders Fields: Canadian Voices in World War 1” (available at iTunes and CD through the local library) took the position biased to the common soldier versus the hierarchy and bureaucracy of the Officer class.

Of note was organization The War Amps. This organization was founded in 1918 in direct response to a need generated by war – the support of amputees resulting from wounds and injuries sustained by Canadian soldiers in the First World War. This organization to a stance with a series of films thematically connected and called “Never Again”.

This sentiment is further given expression that “there is no victory in war” from the failed peace-keeping missions in Somalia and the genocides of Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia.

1990s

1990 leads to push back against anti-war sentiment and a renewed interest in the military achievements of the Canadian Forces during the Second World War. This is, in part, because of the 50th Anniversary of many of the events of this war and it represented most effectively by the movie “Saving Private Ryan” (1998) and the HBO series “Band of Brothers” (2001).  In Canada the 3 part CBC documentary series “The Valour and the Horror” (1992). The Canadian Legion reacts to the series as it does not agree with the portrayal of  Bomber Command and “Bomber Harris”. Veterans respond that this series does not reflect their perspective of the war and does not reflect the historical necessity of the bombing war. It is interesting to note that only two of the installments are available at the NFB web site for viewing. The Dieppe Raid is also reexamined for its utility and value to the war effort and questions the necessity of this action which cost so much in Canadian lives.

Now

The active participation of the Federal Government in commemoration of the First World War is minimal. Possible influences in this down-graded role is its past experience with the bi-centennial of The War 0f 1812, which was not very successful due to poor execution. In response to this the creation of non-profit groups such as Active History and groups like the Great War Centenary Association, Oxford County, and individuals using social media and other resources takes up the “slack” of government efforts.

Some examples:

Creation of not-for-profit groups. Historica Dominion created from two groups to put a different perspective of Canada’s history of the First World War.

The creation of Historica Canada’s Heritate Minutes. 3 of them that are representative of their work: In Flanders Fields with Colm Feore/Valour Road in Winnipeg that earned VC/Battle of Vimy Ridge

Birth of the Reform Party with a military heritage. Lester Pearson St. Laurent – peace. Warrior mythology with support to war on terror and in Afghanistan.

The movie “c” (2008) had support from the Canadian Government and the Dominion Institute.

The 2nd and 3rd Battle of Ypres as representative of the futility of war.

The Battle of Vimy Ridge and the Last 100 Days as representative of the birth of the Canadian nation and the elite reputation of Canadian troops at the sharp end.

Contrasting the Canadian efforts with the British efforts illustrates the greater commitment of the UK government and public to the First World War centenary where as some of the efforts are private and have suffered negative publicity, such as the the Never Forgotten War Memorial in Cape Breton.

Never Forgotten National Memorial Concept

Poppies representing all the UK soldiers who perished in WW1 at the Tower of London.

Active History

www.activehistory.ca is looking for articles about the First World War and perspectives on history and any contributions would be appreciated.

Conclusion

The lecture offered a comprehensive overview of the social context of the resent perceptional developments that would have influenced Canadians in their perspective of war, and particularly, the First World War. There is a robust local and national interest in the war and its commemoration using the tools of technology but the Canadian Government is not leading this effort.

American Horror Story: Cult Rewatch--Episode IV, “11/9″

SPOILERS for the entire season and William Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.  (Screenshot by me, from Netflix.  And ha, it looks like they’re looking down at my notes.)

The episode flashes back to election night, before the cult starts.

Winter takes a selfie in the voting booth.  Isn’t that illegal and causes your vote to not count?

Ally promises to vote Democrat, but then votes for Jill Stein, which Ivy knows about in the first episode.  When did she tell her?  Did she even tell her, or did Ivy find out on her own?

Kai and Gary jump the voting line.  Gary obviously needs a doctor, but wouldn’t Kai be told to go to the back of the line?  What are the rules of this polling station?

Everyone votes very quickly.  What about the rest of the ballot?  Don’t you have to fill that out too?  

I’m positive that if a man pulled out his bleeding stump of an arm at a polling station, he would be rushed to a hospital to recover, then be psychologically evaluated.  Has Gary been evaluated?  He needs it.

After the intro, the date is 09 November 2016, so Kai seems to begin to form his cult on that day, meaning the previous episodes (with the exception of the first scene) take place after that, likely in the rest of November and December 2016 or January of 2017.

How long has Kai been watching the Wiltons, that he selects Harrison as the first person to recruit for the cult?  They appear to vote before he comes in, so he probably didn’t see them then.  How did he find them?  Was it just because he was a member of the gym, or did he join to find Harrison?  How much control does he have at this point?  It’s only one day after the election!

Kai knows enough about Harrison to know he’s gay even though Harrison’s just met him.  Again, how long has been be watching them?  How has he been watching them?  Does he have cameras everywhere or something?

Kai says he works in technology, specifically coding.  He could probably hack into a camera in someone’s house and watch them.  On the other hand, he could be lying.  I’m not entirely sure he even has a job prior to deciding to run for city council.  He also says that he tested at a genius IQ level at age ten, which could be possible--he is very intelligent and good at getting in people’s heads, but again, that could be lying.  There some things he says that I know aren’t true, and some things he says that I’m not sure about.

Kai tells Harrison that while he likes women, he will fight and kill for anyone, man or woman, if they’re part of his team.  He adds that “and if they wake up in the morning with a hard-on that won’t quit, I will find a way to make sure they know how much I love them.”  This is the start of indoctrination: letting Harrison know that he’s okay having sex with men, opening up the possibility of them sleeping together, if Harrison is with him in his endeavors.  He’s using his sexuality to draw Harrison in.

Harrison says that sometimes people masturbate in the steam room--are people allowed to masturbate in a gym steam room?  What if someone else is in there?  Doesn’t that count as sexual harassment, then?  Or indecent public exposure?

When did Kai have the time to sneak into the steam room and draw the smiley face without Harrison noticing?  He went right there from the end of their session.

About the shower masturbation bit: How is Kai so sure that Harrison is going to walk in on him doing that?  What if someone else came in?  Why wouldn’t he close the door just in case and then open it when he saw that it was Harrison coming in?  Why does Harrison just watch him?  Does this count as indecent exposure in a public place?  (He’s probably doing it on purpose to let Harrison get an eyeful, though… Kai likes to use sex to get people interested, which is interesting in of itself.  He is later established as a complete misogynist, and yet he uses a traditionally feminine means of villainy--sexuality.  What is this archetype of the person who uses their sexuality as a weapon often called?  The femme fatale--which is French for “fatal woman.”  The femininity is right in the name.  Why would a man who so disdains women employ a tactic that he likely associates with them, and therefore would disdain as well?  I won’t deny I like seeing the trope gender-flipped, though.  It’s cool, and fun to think about.)

The “Macbeth scene” (my name):

It’s been at least twelve or thirteen days since the election, since this apparently Kai and Harrison’s last session out of twelve.  

Kai has somehow managed to get into Harrison’s head well enough that the bullshit he spouts about being a mirror and quoting Nietzsche makes sense to the latter and he doesn’t ask questions.  Then again, Harrison is very vulnerable here--he’s about to be homeless, and he’s feeling down on himself.  It’s classic cult leader logic--get them when they’re feeling lost, and reassure them to make them think that you have all the answers.

“Harrison, I’m just a mirror.  Anything you see in me is in you.”  (Kai).  These words are almost lifted directly from a 1970 Rolling Stone interview with Charles Manson, a man who (in my opinion) Kai might as well be.  They’re so similar that the season is kind of just that history repeating itself.  Perhaps this is the writers trying to seed the Manson material that wil happen later.  (An additional note: I discovered this completely by accident about a week after watching the episode while reading this article.  It even mentions this season!)

The actual Macbeth part begins with Harrison cleaning up in the steam room and Kai walking in.  Harrison, like Macbeth, is in a place of uncertainty; Kai, his Lady Macbeth, urges him to take power and control of his life, which in both cases means murder.   There’s also a bit of a gender thing going on--Lady Macbeth insults Macbeth’s masculinity to encourage him, and Harrison probably is feeling a bit emasculated right now, being made to clean up other men’s semen, which leaves him vulnerable to Kai’s manipulations. Harrison, however, is more willing than Macbeth--he doesn’t ponder killing as Macbeth does, he simply does it. On the other hand, his reaction to murdering Vinny is almost identical to Macbeth’s to murdering Duncan--freaking out.  Kai is the opposite: calm and covering up the murder, just as Lady Macbeth does.  

Kai is able to hack into Vinny’s phone to send a text from it as well as erase three weeks of security footage seemingly due to a computer virus.  Perhaps he’s not lying about working in tech.  Either that or he’s a really good hacker.

He also confirms that he’s been watching Harrison and everyone around for a long time.  How?  In person?  Through cameras?  What kind of operation is he running?

More classic cult leader logic: Kai tells Harrison that they’re going to destroy everything to create a better world.  He smartly doesn’t specify what that world is, but promises a better one to someone who’s having a hard time, which is part of seeming like he can provide all the answers.

Kai apparently knows enough about the human body to instruct Harrison how to cut off a head.  Has he done this before?  As a matter of fact, did he ever kill anyone before he started the cult?

Cut to December of 2016, when Beverly is reporting on Vinny’s murder.  I’m guessing that his body wasn’t found for about a month or a little more than a month.

Beverly’s not a part of the cult during this report, since it’s this that draws Kai to talk to her and recruit her.

Kai takes Adderall, which is prescribed at one pill a day, but he’s also popping more than one at a time.  Also, I just want to point out that he looks like a modern-day, ratty Daario Naharis in this scene.  

Beverly understandably cracks after being harassed during work, but still checks herself into a rehab facility, which doesn’t really seem like her, since she’s very headstrong.  Was she made to by her boss?

Once again, Kai practically appears behind someone, this time Beverly.  Honestly, does the man wear some kind of noise-cancelling shoes?

Beverly takes up Kai’s offer for coffee even though she has no idea who he is.  Why would she do that?  Why would anyone do that?  He could be dangerous!  He is dangerous!  The fact that she took him up on the offer and didn’t walk away is honestly a stroke of luck for him.

Kai almost acts as a more chaotic version of James March here, asking Beverly how it felt to do something bad (as March often does with John), and encouraging her to kill people.  He tells her that fear gets stronger and scarier as it spreads (which is pretty obvious) and essentially asks her to be his minister of propaganda.  An earlier scene has shown that Beverly is worried about her job, as Serena seems to be rising in the ranks of the news station.  Kai is preying on that here; giving her an opportunity to become valuable when she feels like she isn’t.  

“If you get the world scared enough, they will set the world on fire for us.”  (Kai).  So he wants people to be so scared that they’ll do anything for him.  Does that mean he’s going to make people scared of him, or of the world at large so that they’ll cling to him?  Maybe both.

The backstory Kai gives Beverly (Iraq, Yale, etc.) is such blatant lying that I’m not entirely sure she believes him either, given the indulgent smile she gives him after.  Did he really think she going to believe him, or is he using the lie to paint himself as stupider than she thinks he is, so she’ll underestimate him and he’ll be able to control her later?

Beverly tells Kai that there aren’t any open seats on city council, so this is before the Changs are murdered, meaning that they were probably murdered in mid-December of 2016.

“I need you, Beverly.”  (Kai).  The vocabulary is specific.  Beverly isn’t feeling especially needed at her job at the moment, given the assignments she’s been getting (such as the landfill), but Kai is there to fill that hole.  Like with Harrison, he takes advantage of a person at a moment of low self-esteem and unhappiness.  Once again, pretty classic cult recruitment.

Only Harrison, Meadow, and Kai show up to kill Serena and her cameraman.  Are Samuels and Gary not part of the cult yet, or could they simply not make it?

As the clowns walk away, Kai appears to be holding Serena’s heart in his hand.  Holy shit.  That’s all I can say.  Jesus freaking Christ.  That’s… that’s another level of depraved.

Two people are dead, but at least the puppy is alive.  The puppy lives, and that makes me happy.  Also, I want to pet it.

Meadow is clinging to Kai’s every word in the next scene.  I’m guessing she’s already in love with him, and he probably knows it, given that he’s going to use her love for him to his advantage in two episodes.  (Just a note on the way Kai talks here--he’s very slow and deliberate, building up anticipation for his reaction to the masks.  He knows he’s got them (or Meadow at least, Harrison doesn’t look too interested) completely in his thrall.)

Kai tells Beverly that he will do anything for her, a probable callback to him telling Harrison something similar earlier in the episode (see above).  So he wasn’t lying about that--he’ll do anything for anyone in his circle, or if he thinks it’ll get them in his circle.  And it’s part of indoctrination--he’s making Beverly feel like he cares about her, like he’s one of the only people who cares about her, so she’ll come to rely on him.

Beverly is next seen reporting on the finding of Vinny’s severed head, which was reportedly alerted to the police by anonymous tip.  Did one of the cult members call it in, to work more fear-mongering?  

Flash back to 07 November 2016, the day before the election.  Ivy first meets Winter when the latter defends the former after Gary sexually assaults her.  I’m guessing that Ivy met Kai through Winter, likely after confiding her frustrations in her about Ally voting for Jill Stein.  An important question: is the cult tormenting Ally only because Ivy is angry and wants to hurt her, or does Kai have some vested interest in Ally?  (I’ve seen the interpretation that he’s in love with her, which is interesting to think about.)

Kai must have some kind of ability to move without sound, because he opens the door to Winter’s room and walks in without her noticing.  How stealthy can he be?  I’d swear he was a ghost if this season wasn’t the only one without supernatural elements or magic.

He also seems to notice the blood on Winter’s finger even though she’s standing far from him in a dimly, red-lit room.  Again, does he actually have some kind of power?

Kai honestly looks rather aroused when Winter tells him that hurting Gary “felt fucking fantastic” and orders her to tell him everything.  It’s like if James March and Viserys Targaryen had a son.  An extremely disturbing son.

Given that Kai frees Gary from the basement, Winter must have told him everything, but why, when it’s not in her interests at all?  My guess: she’s afraid of what he’ll do to her if she doesn’t.  Even though the cult isn’t a thing yet, he still exerts some power over her, especially since she likely knows of his violent tendencies and inappropriate attraction to her.  (I am using the words “likely” and “probably” a lot in these notes.  I’m sorry; it’s simply that not everything is confirmed and I must hazard guesses based on dialogue and body language.)

When Kai goes down to find Gary, there’s a shot where the background is completely black, and he’s the only thing in the shot that’s lit.  No comment here.  I just think it looks really cool.

“Humiliation” and its varieties is a word Kai uses with almost all of his followers recruited so far: Harrison, Beverly, Meadow, and now Gary.  He even uses it to refer to himself in the first episode.  Humiliation is key here; Kai takes people that feel humiliated and works with it, because people hate feeling humiliated (in my experience), and he’s promising them that he can take away that feeling, and maybe even help them punish those who humiliated them.  He’s using it to get them to do insane things that they would otherwise never do (i.e., Gary cutting off his own hand).  Throughout this whole episode, he’s been doing that, and I won’t say that it’s not clever, since it’s working very well.

I don’t like Gary at all, but I do feel sorry for him.  No one deserves an insane man manipulating them into cutting off their own hand.  Not even to vote.

Kai looks unnerved by Gary cutting off his own hand.  This man cut out a woman’s heart without flinching, and this freaks him out?  What the hell are his standards for gore?  Not self-inflicted?

Judging by the lilac trees in the yard, Spring has been straight up skipped and we’ve rolled into Summer! With that, here is May’s books that are making their way to the “Read” shelf: 1. “Generals Die in Bed” by Charles Yale Harrison (1930) 2. “Halo: The Flood” by William C. Dietz (2003) 3. “Black Hawk Down” by Mark Bowden (1999) 4. “Us Against You (Beartown #2” by Fredrik Bachman (2017) I recently got plucked out of the training platoons at work and moved to HQ to work in training development. Hopefully this means a significantly slower tempo this summer and I’ll actually have some time to enjoy it and read more than I normally do during our traditionally busiest time. #bookstagram #summerreads #readingchallenge2022 #mayreads #generalsdieinbed #charlesyaleharrison #halotheflood #williamcdietz #blackhawkdown #markbowden #usagainstyou #fredrikbackman (at Village of Port Williams) https://www.instagram.com/p/CePOpfCJLItugFdlmb8B9vTFgRCv88CwIGX09g0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pakistanlı araştırmacı yazar Dr.Faruk Saleem'in kaleme aldığı “Müslümanlar Yahudilerden neden geri kaldı?” başlıklı yazısı...

Dünyada nüfus bakımından azınlıkta olan Yahudiler Dünyayı yönetiyor. Dünyada yalnızca 14 milyon Yahudi / Musevi var. (Kuzey ve Güney Amerika’da 7 milyon, Asya’da 5 milyon, Avrupa’da 2 milyon ve Afrika’da 100 bin Musevi yaşıyor.)Peki, kaç Müslüman var: 1,4 milyar Müslüman. (1 milyar Asya’da, 400 milyon Afrika’da, 44 milyon Avrupa’da, 6 milyon Amerika kıtasında.)Yani dünyada 1 Musevi’ye karşın 100 Müslüman var…

İyi ama Yahudiler Müslümanlardan niçin 100 kat daha güçlü ve daha zengin ve daha eğitimli ve daha mucitler?

Tarafsız ve bilimsel yollarla tespit edilmiş nedenlerini öğrenmek istiyorsanız lütfen okumayı sürdürün…

Tüm zamanların en etkin bilim adamı Albert Einstein bir Yahudiydi.

Psikanalizin babası Sigmund Freud bir Yahudiydi.

Karl Marks Yahudiydi.

Sorun kendinize:

250’lik IQ derecesiyle dünyaya gelmiş en parlak insan hangi dine mensuptur?

Sorun kendinize:

Neden Yahudiler bu kadar güçlüdür?

Cevabı şudur: Her çocuğa ve her gence kaliteli eğitim verirler…

Bu eğitim türü sorgulayıcı (teslimiyetçi değil), araştırıcı (ezberci değil) ve yaratıcıdır (bilgi üretmek/bulmak içindir)

Soru:

Neden Müslümanlar bu kadar güçsüzdür?

Cevap:

Yanlış eğitim verdikleri ve gelişime yararı olmayan birer eğitim sistemi uyguladıkları için (Büyük oranda Din Eksenli, Sorgusuz, Araştırmasız, Ezberci ve Dayatmacı eğitim…).

Oysa Gezegenimizde yaklaşık 1.476.233.470 Müslüman yaşamaktadır.

Yani, toplam dünya nüfusu içinde her 5 kişiden biri Müslümandır.

Her bir Hindu’ya 2 Müslüman düşmektedir, her bir Budist’e karşılık 2 Müslüman vardır ve her bir Yahudi’ye karşılık 100 Müslüman bulunmaktadır.

Müslümanlar bu kadar kalabalıklar ama neden güçsüzler?

Nedeni eğitim(sizlik)dir!!!

İslam Konferansı Örgütü’nün (OIC) 57 üyesi vardır ve ülkelerin tümünde sadece 500 adet üniversite bulunmaktadır. Yani üniversite başına 3 milyon Müslüman düşmektedir. Başka bir deyişle 3 milyon kişi için bir üniversite yapılmıştır (Bunların kalitesi de başka bir sorundur!).

Fakat sadece ABD’de 5 bin 758 adet üniversite vardır.

Shanghai Jiao Tong Üniversitesi tarafından 2004 yılında hazırlanan “Dünya Üniversitelerinin Akademik Deger Listesi”ne Müslüman çoğunluğa sahip ülkelerin hiç birinden ilk 500’e giren tek bir üniversite yoktu.

Neden?.. Yanıt: Kalitesiz ve ezberci eğitim…

OKUMA YAZMA ORANLARI DA ÇOK DÜŞÜK!

UNDP tarafından toplanan verilere göre Hıristiyan dünyasında okuma-yazma bilenlerin oranı % 89’dur. Bunların %98’i ise en az ilkokul mezundur ve 100 kişiden 40’ı üniversite mezunudur. 15 Hıristiyan çoğunluğa sahip ülkedeki okuma-yazma oran ise %100’dür, yani bu 15 ülkede okuma-yazması olmayan tek kişiye rastlamak olası değildir!.

Müslüman ülkelerde durum bunun zıddıdır: 100 kişiden sadece 40’ı okuma-yazma bilir ve herkesin okuryazar olduğu bir tek Müslüman ülke bulunmamaktadır! Bunların %50’si ilkokul mezundur ve sadece %2’si üniversiteyi bitirmiştir.

BİLİM İNSANLARININ ORANLARI DA ÇOK DÜŞÜK!

ABD’de toplam bilim insanı sayısı 4.000, Japonya’da 5.000’dir. 57 Müslüman çoğunluğa sahip ülkelerdeki toplam bilim adamı sayısı ise sadece 230 kişidir. (Akademisyenlerin hepsi bilim insanı değildir. Bilim insanı demek, pozitif bilimlerle aktif olarak uğraşan kişi demektir.) Ve her 1 milyon Müslüman kişiye sadece 1 bilim insanı düşmektedir.

Teknisyenler bakımından Müslüman çoğunluklu Arap ülkelerdeki durum daha da kötüdür: Her 1 milyon Müslüman Arap nüfus içinde 50 teknisyen bulunmaktadır. Hıristiyan dünyasında ise her bir milyon kişi içinde 1000 teknisyen bulunmaktadır.

NEDEN?..

Yanıt:

Kalitesiz-ezberci eğitim ve ARGE’ye (araştırma geliştirmeye) yeterli kaynak ayrılmaması…

Çünkü Müslümanlar gayri safi milli gelirin yalnızca % 0,2’sini araştırma-geliştirme bütçesi olarak ayırıyor.

Buna karşın Hıristiyan dünyası araştırma-geliştirmeye % 5 oranında, yani 25 kat daha fazla fon ayırmaktadır.

SONUÇ:

İslam dünyası yeni bilgi üretebilecek kapasiteden yoksundur.

Ayrıca dünyanın ürettiği bilgiyi kendi halklarına öğretmekte de başarısızdır.

Bunun kanıtı ise ileri teknoloji ihracat rakamlarında saklıdır:

Pakistan’ın ileri teknoloji ihracatının toplam ihracatın içindeki oran %1’dir. Suudi Arabistan, Kuveyt, Fas ve Cezayir’in ise % 0,3’tür.

Hristiyan Singapur’da bu oran % 58′dir.

Gelecek Bilgi temelli toplumların olacaktır

Ilginçtir, Müslüman 57 ülkenin gayri safi milli hâsılalarının toplamı 2 trilyon doların altındadır. Buna karşın 310 milyonluk ABD tek başına 12 trilyon dolar değerinde mal ve hizmet üretmekte; Çin 8 trilyon dolar,

Japonya 3,8 trilyon dolar ve Almanya 2,4 trilyon dolarlık üretim yapmaktadır. (Satın alma gücü eşitlenerek hesaplama yapılmıştır.)

Mal ve hizmet üretimi

İspanya’da 1 trilyon doların üzerindedir. Katolik Polonya 489 milyar dolarlık mal ve hizmet üretimi gerçekleşmektedir. Budist Tayland 545 milyar dolar değerinde mal ve hizmet üretimi yapmaktadır.

İşin daha acıklı tarafı ise şudur: İslam Dünyasının gayri safi milli hâsılasının tüm dünya gayri safi milli hâsılası içindeki oranı hızla azalmaktadır.

O halde Müslümanlar neden bu kadar güçsüzdür?

Cevap:

Eğitim Yoksunluğu. Tam anlamıyla söylersek; kaliteli ve çağdaş eğitim yoksunluğu.

Çok kesin biçimde söylersek; akılcı olmayan, ezberci, teslimiyetçi, din eksenli ve çağdışı eğitim…

Never ever give up

Successful People Who Failed At First

1. Winston Churchill failed the sixth grade. He was defeated in every public office role he ran for. Then he became the British prime minister at the age of 62.

2. Thomas Edison’s teachers told him he was “too stupid to learn anything." Edison also famously invented 1,000 light bulbs before creating one that worked.

The Charlotte M. Tytus House - 10 East 77th Street

Not only was Richard W. Buckley a partner with Robert McCafferty in the development firm of  McCafferty & Buckley; he was the firm’s architect—a significant cost savings.  In 1895 the partners started construction of seven high-end homes at Nos. 4 through 16 East 77th Street.  Unlike the nearly identical high-stoop brownstones erected a generation earlier; McCafferty & each of Buckley’s handsome neo-Renaissance style residences, completed in 1897, was given its own personality.  Perhaps to compensate for the sloop of the street, the two eastern-most houses were designed on the English basement plan, which provided them with high stone stoops.  

Like its neighbors, the central house, No. 10, was 25-feet wide and rose five stories.  An American basement dwelling, its entrance was just two steps above sidewalk level.  The ground floor was clad in a seemingly random arrangement of small, rough-cut blocks.  The understated entrance and the service doorway flanked a window.  Directly above a wide, curved oriel all but engulfed the second floor where planar-faced limestone was interrupted by bands of undressed stone.  The upper three floors were faced in sandy-colored Roman brick and trimmed in limestone.  A pretty frieze of bows and swags ran below a band of egg-and-dart molding under the bracketed cornice.

No. 10 is the centerpiece of the odd-numbered row.  Record & Guide, April 11, 1896 (copyright expired)

In 1897 McCafferty & Buckley sold the house to Charlotte Mathilda Tytus, widow of Edward Jefferson Tytus who had died in 1881 at the age of 35.  Tytus had been a partner in the wholesale paper business Tytus, Van Buren & Company.  Moving into the new house with Charlotte was her 20-year-old son, Robb de Peyster Tytus, who graduated from Yale that same year.

It was not long before Charlotte addressed what she apparently felt was a lack of light within the house.  On November 18, 1898 architect W. H. Whittal filed plans for a "new glass and iron skylight."  It was no small project, costing Charlotte the equivalent of more than $28,000 today.

An accomplished artist, Robb's sketches appeared in magazines.  Many of them depicted scenes he captured while traveling abroad with his mother.  He became fascinated with Egypt and, subsequently, archaeology. Before long the Tytuses visited that country annually.  The Washington Times mentioned in 1903 that Robb "is not connected in business in any way in Egypt, but has a dahabieh, on which he and his mother take their winter excursion up the Nile."

The year 1903 was momentous for Robb de Peyster Titus.  The New-York Tribune reported that Yale University "gave him a degree of A. M. for research work in Egypt" and on May 19 he was married to Grace Seeley Henop in Grace Church.  The New Haven, Connecticut newspaper The Daily Morning Journal and Courier called it "one of the largest church weddings of the season."  The New-York Tribune chimed in saying "The church was crowded with friends and acquaintances, among whom the old Knickerbocker element was largely represented."  Indeed, among the families mentioned were Livingstons, Barnes, Stokes, Schieffelin, Gallatin, Duncan, and Potter.

Newspapers nationwide picked up on a detail of Grace's wardrobe.  The South Carolina paper The County Record noted "The buckles on the bride's shoes were of rhine stones, the same worn by Dolly Madison at her wedding."  The New-York Tribune reported "A part of the honeymoon will be spent at the bridegroom's camp in the Adirondacks, and afterward the couple will visit China and Japan, proceeding by way of India and the Red Sea to Egypt for a trip up the Nile next winter."

Robb de Peyster Tytus would go on to have a celebrated, if relatively brief career.  With an English archaeologist he made several excavations in Egypt.  The New York Times later recalled "he obtained from the Khedive of Egypt a concession to make explorations at Luxor, where he found, among other things, that King Amenhotep had built eight bathrooms of cement, with tubs twelve feet long, six feet wide and eighteen inches deep, for the use of the royal family."  In 1907 he was elected to the Massachusetts Legislature.  He and Grace purchased a 1,500-acre estate in Tyringham, Massachusetts where he built a country villa costing more than $2.5 in today's dollars.  He died of tuberculosis of the throat in August 1913.

In the meantime, with her son gone, Charlotte left the East 77th Street house, selling it to J. Horace Harding in March the following year.  In reporting on the sale on April 2, 1904 the Real Estate Record & Guide noted "One of the fixtures of the house is a large pipe organ."

Born in Philadelphia, Harding had entered the banking profession at the age of 20.  In 1898 he married Dorothea Barney, and was taken into her father's banking firm, Charles D. Barney & Co. (it would later become Smith-Barney).  By the time the couple moved into the 77th Street house he was a partner with J. P. Morgan, the chairman of the board of the American Express Company, and a director in two dozen others.

He and Dorothea had four children, Charles, Catherine, Laura, and William Barclay.  The couple were close friends with Henry Clay Frick and his wife and traveled with them to Europe on art-buying trips.  The 77th Street house was filled with irreplaceable masterpieces and antique objets d'art.  

Harding was an early automobile enthusiast.  On March 24, 1905 The Sun reported on a shocking turn of events--the Morris Park raceway, long a haunt of the fashionable horse set, would be the scene of an automobile race.  "In the wake of the horse comes the motor car," the article said.  "The tracks of the famous ground where thousands have watched the thoroughbreds is to become a new home for automobile racing this summer."

Highly involved in the revolution was Harding, who had helped form the Morris Park Motor Club earlier that year.  The Sun reported "J. Horace Harding, the Wall Street broker, and J. S. Bunting, both members of the Automobile Club of America, will be vice-president and treasurer, respectively."

His love of mechanized transportation had gotten him in trouble for speeding earlier that year.  On February 20 The Sun reported "Bicycle Policeman Rensselaer saw a machine in which J. Horace Harding, the banker, and a chauffeur were riding.  After a short chase they were overtaken and Mr. Harding went to the station and bailed out the driver, George Sailor."

It would appear that Harding had always intended his family's stay at No. 10 to be temporary.  On November 15, 1905 The Evening Post had reported that construction had begun on a six-story mansion on Fifth Avenue designed by C. H P. Gilbert.  Now, on March 7, 1908 the Record & Guide reported that Harding had sold No. 10.  "He moves around the corner to 953 5th av, a beautiful modern residence."  As an interesting side note, the couple escaped almost certain death by a caprice of fate four years later.  Having toured Egypt with the Fricks, J. Horace and Dorothea took the parlor suite on the new R. M. S. Titanic after J. P. Morgan, who had initially booked the massive space--Suite B 52/54/56--changed his plans.  But nearly at the last minute J. Horace was able to book an earlier ship.  Their suite was then given to the White Star's director, J. Bruce Ismay.

In the meantime, stock broker Edmund Q. Trowbridge, senior member of Trowbridge & Co., was the buyer of the 77th Street house, title to which was put in his wife's name.  He and his wife, the former Gertrude Harrison, had been married in London on July 1, 1901.  Edmund had graduated from Yale University two years earlier. They had two daughters, Nancy and Barbara Harrison Trowbridge.  The family maintained a summer house in Guilford, Connecticut.

The Trowbridges would remain at No. 10 for years.  Barbara attended the exclusive Foxcroft School and was introduced to society in the fall of 1923 at the Colony Club.  On May 15, 1925 her mother hosted a luncheon during which her engagement to Joseph Potter Murphy was announced.  The wedding was held in the 77th Street house on November 4, 1925 with Nancy acting as her sister's maid of honor.  The New York Times noted "Autumn foliage, palms and chrysanthemums decorated the house."

On July 8, 1927 The New York Sun reported that Gertrude had sold the house.  The purchaser was John Howie Wright, president of the Dry Goods Credit Adjustment Corporation and editor of the magazine Postage.  The family's summer home was Seaside Cottage at East Hampton, Long Island.

The Wright's daughter, Anne, enjoyed a privileged upbringing.  On August 26, 1932 The East Hampton Star reported "Forty young summer residents were the guests of Miss Anne Wright on Saturday, at a party arranged by Mrs. John Howie Wright at the Devon Yacht Club, in celebration of her daughter's 12th birthday."

The house was the scene of a society wedding on September 4, 1937.  The Mount Vernon, New York newspaper The Daily Argus reported that Betty Devine, Mrs. Wright's niece, would was married to George Byron Smith, 2nd, here.  Both of their families lived in Pelham.  Anne was a bridesmaid.  

As Anne grew the social spotlight turned to her.  Her coming out was celebrated in the fall of 1938.  On November 14, 1938 The New York Sun reported, "Miss Anne Wright, debutante daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Wright of 10 East Seventy-seventh street...will participate in the cavalcade of dances to be staged by Ned Wayburn as the feature of the Miami-Biltmore fashion show and ball to be held on December 16 at the Waldorf-Astoria as a benefit for the Goddard Neighborhood Center."

And a month later, on December 6, the newspaper wrote, "Miss Anne Wright, member of the junior committee for the Caucasian Allaverdy Ball to be held at the Plaza on December 9, agave a tea yesterday at her home, 10 East Seventy-seventh street, for the other members of the committee."

The Wrights sold No. 10 in July 1943, and in 1950 it was purchased by Daniel Saidenberg and his wife, Eleanor Block.  Although Saidenberg's career had been as a cellist and conductor, and Eleanor had been a professional dancer in Chicago, they were now focused on modern European art.  Eleanor had been working as a private art dealer since soon after moving to New York in 1943.  Now the ground floor of No. 10 became the Saidenberg Gallery.

Theirs was a significant venue.  In December 1955 they opened a Picasso exhibition, and they showed the works of artists like Paul Klee and George Braque.  On November 10, 1959 The New York Times' John Canaday wrote "Picasso is with us again, this time in an exhibition called 'Faces and Figures' at the Saidenberg Gallery, 10 East Seventy-seventh Street.  For some reason the master's social aplomb is more apparent than usual.  The seventeen paintigs are dominated by half a dozen of such witty elegance that the charging bull of modern art appears to have been caught in a moment of atypical amiability."

Among the Picasso paintings in the 1959 exhibition was the 1909 Portrait of Manuel Pallares (from the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts)

The Saidenbergs sold No. 10 in January 1964 to the Government of the Union of Burma for use as its Permanent Mission to the United Nations.  The New York Times reported the $300,000 price was paid in cash.  Now the Permanent Mission of Myanmar, it continues to own the property.

Week 5-History of Design

#Metoo Movement and Rosie the Riveter

An example of design today that has greatly impacted so many people's lives is the #MeToo Movement which was founded in 2006, to help survivors of sexual violence. These designs for the #Metoo Movement and the idea of protecting women's rights started during the first wave feminism. During that time the Rosie the Riveter poster was designed by J. Howard Miller in 1943, convincing women to join in the workforce. Since then the “We can do it,” poster has been an icon for women's movements, suggesting that women can also do what men can do.

UWM’s School of Architecture and The Bauhaus

The Bauhaus school of art was a new type of building in the early 20th century, many architects look to the Bauhaus for its revolutionary design during the 20th century. Today many industrial buildings have the same conventional design to them just as the Bauhaus did. An example on campus here would be the UWM school of architecture and Urban Planning, the building was designed with reinforced concrete, plate glass, and masonry unit. All which we used in the Bauhaus and the outside of SARUP is set up in a way that the first floor is open to the public and the second floor is where most architecture classes are. And just like the Bauhaus, SARUP also distributed classrooms and studios for maximum occupancy and spatial logic. Another large impact the Bauhaus had on SARUP was the steel frame construction, is if you study the inside of the building you can see that all the structure is exposed for architecture students to study.

Today’s “Modern Architecture” and Le Corbusier's Style

Le Corbusier first coined the term “modern architecture after his design for the Domino House which was an open plan house, supported by six steel columns. This design paved the way for future architects as they were able to create copious amounts of plans just from one simple idea. Looking at today’s “Modern Architecture,” architects design unimaginable buildings, ones that are just stacked boxes and ones that show movement. The example I found would be a design from a home in Los Angles, California that was designed by the Harrison Company, the house looking like Le Corbusier’s, The Villa Savoye in Poissy, took the idea of stacking different rectangles on top of each other to create a new language. Once again, Le Corbusier’s ideas helped paved the for the future of architects, and many still recall upon him today for ideas

Introduction

Patriotic proclamation has it that war is the representation of courage, glory and honor and the great majority of people regard war as glorious during the period of World War I. And most people only know the glamour and glory of those heroes in the battlefield while people do not know the sufferings those heroes have experienced when they fight in the war. However, Generals Die in Bed, a powerfully anti-war novel by Charles Yale Harrison, belies the war’s savage realities regardless of its military victories. War is not a glorious endeavor but instead it is quite chilling and horrible full of dark brutalities, which can be seen from the horrors of military life and trench warfare, the inequality between the soldiers and the generals as well as the descent of civilization.

Dark Brutalities of World War I

The dark brutalities of war can be firstly suggested by the horrors of military life and trench warfare of those soldiers fighting on the Western Front. As a matter of fact, the realities of life in the trenches can be described as bloody, brutal, shattering and ugly and it is quite unbearable for those soldiers. To put it more specifically, the living conditions in France for those soldiers are unsanitary and they are exposed to gigantic rats, lice, poison gas and flesh-rotting rainfalls. Just take the lice as an example, Harrison states that “We are supposed to be resting, but rest is impossible; we are being eaten alive by lice. We cannot sleep for them. We sit and talk, and dig feverishly in our chests, under our arms, between our legs. Our rambling conversation is interrupted by sharp little cracks as we crush the vermin between our thumbnails. A tiny drop of blood spurts in one’s face as they are crushed” (Harrison, Chapter 2), from which the inability for the soldiers to rest can be easily detected. Harrison uses first person to narrate and he is narrating in such a detail that the audience can even get a clear picture about the rage of lice. Soldiers will undoubtedly be exhausted and used-up due to their fighting in the battlefield and how fervent they desire for a rest can be unconsciously identified. Rest is very important toward the ordinary people that do not participate in the war, let alone those soldiers who fight with all their might. Apart from that, Harrison has claimed the havoc of rats and lice is the nightmare of those soldiers at the same time, which can be seen from the sentences that “The same rats, fat and sleek with their corpse-filled bellies, the same gleaming gimlet eyes. The same lice which we carry with us wherever we go. In and out, in and out, endlessly, sweating, endlessly, endlessly…”(Harrison, Chapter 4). These sentences have involved in the use of several “the same” and the repeated use of “in and out” and “endlessly” can all enable us to know that those rats and lice are with the soldiers all the time no matter where they are and they can not get themselves rid of the bothering from those unpleasant rats and lice.

Moreover, the dark brutalities of war can also be embodied via the inequality between the soldiers and the generals. Detailed speaking, the soldiers have to undergo countless unimaginable sufferings in the trench including emptiness, horrific deaths, hunger lice, mud, rats, etc. and they may even die in the trench in the end. But what is different for the generals is that they are not fighting in the front and they only know the war on maps, leading their being able to die in the bed. In order to better illustrate the inequity between the soldiers and the generals, Harrison uses cynicism to show the differences between the treatment toward the soldiers and the generals. As for the soldiers, “It is months since we have been out of clothes. We talk of the last time we slept between sheets. A flood of reminiscences begins. Brown forgets his hatred for Clark for the moment and rhapsodizes over his last night in a real bed” (Harrison, Chapter 3), from which we can know that it is rare for the soldiers to sleep in the bed when they are fighting in the trench. In the opposite, the generals do not come to the front very often and they know little about the war, “Yeah, but do the generals know it, that’s what I wanna know. / Better write’ em a letter about it. They might forget the date” (Harrison, Chapter 6). Reading this, it is quite ridiculous that the generals do not take part in the war themselves in the front and they even forget the date. What is more cynic can be predicted from the expressions that “Oh, the generals have a bloody good time fifty miles behind the line” (Harrison, Chapter 7) and that “God, no. Generals die in bed” (Harrison, Chapter 7), which has indicated that the generals are not only far away from the frontline and they are able to die in bed. Obviously, the use of cynicism has vividly depicted the differences between the generals and the soldiers so that the dark brutalities of war can be readily predicted.

Last but not the least comes that the descent of civilization can as well powerfully justify for the dark brutalities of war. The descent of civilization can be understood by the fact that what the soldiers care most about is their personal survival but not the glory the war can bring in the due time. Those soldiers have to deal with their meals in the trench on their own and the sentence that “We find a piece of hard, moldy bread- we share it among ourselves and eat it” (Harrison, Chapter 11) shows that it is hard for them to feed themselves. From what has been experienced by those soldiers in the trench, the existence of dehumanization can be deeply felt in that those soldiers have actually been seen as the tools to bring glory while they have to struggle in a barbaric and senseless war. There is no doubt the descent of civilization can help claim the dark brutalities of war, which suggests that the war should be prevented to a certain degree.

Conclusion

To sum up, a reasonable conclusion can be drawn that there is no glamour and glory in war but endless dark brutalities within it. Thus a fair knowledge can be obtained that people should spare no efforts to prevent the incidence of war in whatever possible way so that the soldiers have no need to suffer from the war in the due time. It is hoped that a peaceful world without war can be formed due to the joint efforts of people all over the world.

Kwon, Miwon. One place after another : site-specific art and locational identity. Cambridge, Mass. : MIT Press, c2002. Site-specific art emerged in the late 1960s in reaction to the growing commodification of art and the prevailing ideals of art's autonomy and universality. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, as site-specific art intersected with land art, process art, performance art, conceptual art, installation art, institutional critique community-based art, and public art, its creators insisted on the inseparability of the work and its context. In recent years. however, the presumption of unrepeatability and immobility encapsulated in Richard Serra's famous dictum "to remove the work is to destroy the work" has been challenged by new models of site specificity and changes in institutional and market forces." "One Place after Another offers a critical history of site-specific art since the late 1960s and a theoretical framework for examining the rhetoric of aesthetic vanguardism and political progressivism associated with its many permutations. Informed by urban theory, postmodernist criticism in art and architecture, and debates concerning identity politics and the public sphere, the book addresses the siting of art as more than an artistic problem. It examines site specificity as a complex cipher of the unstable relationship between location and identity in the era of late capitalism. The book addresses the work of, among others, John Ahearn, Mark Dion, Andrea Fraser, Donald Judd, Renee Green, Susanne Lacy, Inigo Manglano-Ovalle, Richard Serra, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and Fred Wilson.

Bishop, Claire. Artificial hells : participatory art and the politics of spectatorship. London ; : Verso Books, 2012. Since the 1990s, critics and curators have broadly accepted the notion that participatory art is the ultimate political art: that by encouraging an audience to take part an artist can promote new emancipatory social relations. Around the world, the champions of this form of expression are numerous, ranging from art historians such as Grant Kester, curators such as Nicolas Bourriaud and Nato Thompson, to performance theorists such as Shannon Jackson. Artificial Hells is the first historical and theoretical overview of socially engaged participatory art, known in the US as "social practice." Claire Bishop follows the trajectory of twentieth-century art and examines key moments in the development of a participatory aesthetic. This itinerary takes in Futurism and Dada; the Situationist International; Happenings in Eastern Europe, Argentina and Paris; the 1970s Community Arts Movement; and the Artists Placement Group. It concludes with a discussion of long-term educational projects by contemporary artists such as Thomas Hirschhorn, Tania Bruguera, Pawel Althamer and Paul Chan.

Generals Die in Bed by Charles Yale Harrison Review

Title: Generals Die in Bed

Author: Charles Yale Harrison

Genre(s): Fiction, Historical Fiction, War, Canadian Literature

Publisher: Potlach Publications Ltd. 

Publication Date: 1930

Hardcover: 269 pages

Back of the Book:

Drawing on his own experiences in the First World War, Charles Yale Harrison tells a stark and poignant story of a young man sent to fight on the Western Front. It is an unimaginably harrowing journey, especially for one not yet old enough to vote. In sparse but gripping prose, Harrison conveys a sense of the horror of life in the trenches. Here is where soldiers fight and die, entombed in mud, surrounded by rats and lice, forced to survive on insufficient rations. Harrison captures the only kind of humour possible under the circumstances of life on the Western Front - dark and sardonic, a mingling of comedy and horror.

My Rating: 

My Thoughts:

I had to read Generals Die in Bed for my Canadian Literature course. Like Maria Chapdelaine, it is another Canadian book I've never heard of and probably wouldn't have read unless I took this course. I am so happy I read this book because it's historical importance is so strong in Canadian history.

The book was controversial for it's time because it highlighted the dark brutalities of war that poets at the time (John McCrae and others) didn't acknowledge. Instead of glorifying war like many authors after the First World War, Harrison wrote a realistic novel on the horrors of war writing about the lies told by generals to motivate soldiers into action, the sudden death, as well as the realities of Trench warfare, as well as questioning who the real enemy was. Was it the German soldiers who were young boys like them or was it the generals who told the lies and died safely away from the war?

Through an unnamed narrator, the book allows all readers to compare and empathize with the soldiers. In my opinion, the unnamed narrator represents all soldiers (in all wars now) survivors and fallen who each struggled and fought for their country. While these men are obviously heroes, Generals Die in Bed examines the brutalities that these young men had to go through in order to achieve hero sentence and how most never left the war, not really.
