Abstract:

Both interpretive and positivist research were a daily part of early work by social workers in settlement houses of the US Social Workers from 1902 to 1922 at Greenwich House, a settlement house (neighborhood center) founded on the west side of Greenwich Village, New York City in 1902, involved themselves in diverse investigative methods. As this analysis reveals, Greenwich House workers pursued case studies of families, residential blocks, neighborhoods, and workplaces; ethnographic depictions of an alley and a garment workers’ strike; participant-observation of tenement households, small bus

AbstractThis article presents a case study of life and work at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich (1835–1933) which reveals tensions between the lived reality of the observatory as a social space, and the attempts to create order, maintain discipline and project an image of authority in order to ensure the observatory's long-term stability. Domestic, social and scientific activities all intermingled within the observatory walls in ways which were occasionally disorderly. But life at Greenwich was carefully managed to stave off such disorder and to maintain an appearance of respectability which

AbstractSoutheast London benefits from some of the finest historical buildings the city has to offer, and Greenwich is particularly notable for the Queen's House, the Old Royal Naval College and other magnificent edifices of maritime history. Using all the relevant technology available to them (drones, LiDAR scanners and ground‐penetrating radar), Captivate – a small research group of academic architects, landscapers and computer whizzes at the University of Greenwich – are revealing much about this area that has previously been unknown.

Abstract:

Between 1830 and 1858 fourteen separate attempts were made to remove the legal disabilities which prevented Jews from sitting in Parliament. The first bill was dismissed by the unreformed House of Commons, and the next twelve, from 1833 onwards, were rejected by the Lords after being passed by the Commons. It was only the fourteenth attempt, a carefully constructed compromise between leading members of both Houses, which finally was to prove acceptable. The struggle for parliamentary representation became the longest and most bitter battle which the Anglo-Jewish community had to wage with the

Abstract:

Since the construction of the first British example of a cantilever stone staircase (Inigo Jones’ ‘tulip’ staircase in Queen’s House in Greenwich, 1629–35), this technique has served as both grand statement and modest utility. The structural principles are now widely understood, but by adopting a creative approach to structural analysis, design and detailing, they can be combined and extrapolated to design and construct more refined structures in myriad applications.

Abstract:

In 1957 Edgard Varèse led a series of improvisation sessions in Greenwich Village with jazz musicians who included Charles Mingus, Art Farmer, Don Butterfield, Teo Macero, and Ed Shaughnessy. Few scholars have explored this episode, a lacuna that speaks to a wider, racially inflected rift in historiographies of jazz and non-jazz musical avant-gardes. Against this tendency I bring new light to the sessions as a messy and fleeting exchange characterized by mutual curiosity and crossed signals, drawing on analysis of session recordings, original interviews, and archival research.

The production presented an account of the recent trial of six Czechoslovak activists who had been found guilty of “subversion of the Republic” and been sentenced, collectively, to nineteen-and-a-half years in top-level prisons. Their only crime was that they had protested unjust trials like their own. The press and all foreigne

Abstract:

Abstract John Guare distinguishes himself as a playwright who has represented New York City’s various neighborhoods and has fought realist conventions throughout his work. By relying on considerations advanced by Robert Bennett in his study of the literature, art, jazz and architecture of New York City after World War II, the current analysis shows that Guare approaches the discourse of the global capital of the world deconstructively, just like the post-war avant-garde he is probably familiar with. Moreover, Guare’s own search for experimental strategies reflects that of his predecessors and

The text is created from 3D scans of Virginia Woolf’s writing hut and garden located in the house where she lived from 1918 until her death in 1941: Monk’s House in Rodmell, East Sussex. The scans capture the garden in ways that appear both substantial and yet ethereal, tracing contours that explore the physical textures of the site while using movement to allude to the cadences and syntax of the text. The film has been developed using Woolf’s 1931 experimental novel ‘The Waves’ as a narrative armature. The ‘camera’ moves through the garden, mapping out different perspectives with a steady pac

Abstract: This article presents a performance analysis of One Woman Show by Liz Kingsman, based on a viewing of the show’s 2023 run in New York at the Greenwich House Theater. Written and performed by Kingsman, One Woman Show parodies the titular genre, satirizing the hypocrisies and paradoxes that women performing solo comedic material must navigate. In doing so, it offers a rich case study to examine in concert with scholarship on women and comedy, which often focuses on the binaries that circumscribe women’s ability to function as joke-tellers in a patriarchal society.

AbstractThe widespread adoption of standard time in Britain took more than fifty years and simple public access to a representation of it took longer still. Whilst the railways and telegraph networks were crucial in the development of standardized time and time-distribution networks, very different contexts existed, from the Victorian period onwards, where time was significant in both its definition and its distribution. The moral drive to regulate and standardize aspects of daily life, from factory work to the sale of liquor, led to time being used as a tool for control. Yet, as a tool, it wa
