A small collection of gravers from the Fisher site, an Early Paleoindian (Parkhill complex) site in Ontario estimated to date between 10,400 and 11,000 years B.P., produced two previously unrecognized tool types: single- and double-scribe compass and coring gravers. Experimental use-wear studies on replicated tools confirm that the compass and coring gravers were probably used on organic materials for engraving single or concentric circles, cutting thin disks, and boring holes. Although not identified as such, the compass graver occurs widely in North American Paleoindian assemblages and, judg

Along with Robert Edmond Jones, Norman Bel Geddes, and Lee Simonson, Joseph Urban brought the New Stagecraft to America in the 1920s. No other designer of his period lavished more lush color on the stage or brought scene design closer to the level his contemporaries called “Art.” Urban produced the backdrops of the famous Follies for Florenz Ziegfeld, and the Metropolitan Opera continued to use his sets for more than two decades after his death.

Abstract The matreshka designed by Sergei Maliutin and turned by Vasilii Zvezdochkin has fulfilled a precisely defined function from its inception in the late 1890s until today. Conceived as a material embodiment of national identity amid Abramtsevo’s revival of endemic Russian traditions, the stacking doll symbolized robust national fecundity. Produced and sold in the workshop Detskoe vospitanie [Children’s Upbringing] established by the Mamontov family, it promoted Russianness in a range of stacked dolls garbed in the ethnic dress of the country’s various regions.

Viewing an exhibition of civil war paintings in 1886, Lea Barakat wrote that her “country came to mind: the splendor of its ruins, the wonders of their form like the fortress of Baalbek, the ruins of Palmyra, and the scenes of Lebanon…” Native women should paint like this, she states, and “not leave a scene [of Lebanon] unpainted… They can decorate the rooms of their homes and sitting rooms with these pictures…” She concludes that “since the ladies of our country are smarter and more industrious in their handcrafts than [American] ladies,” they too can obtain a similar level of “wealth, honora

While a few larger collections of objects of East Asian origin entered Slovenian museums after the deaths of their owners in the 1950s and 60s, individual items had begun finding their way there as early as the nineteenth century. Museums were faced early on with the problem not only of how to store and exhibit the objects, but also how to categorize them. Were they to be treated as “art” on account of their aesthetic value or did they belong, rather, to the field of “ethnography” or “anthropology” because they could illustrate the way of life of other peoples?

The Late Bronze Age in Western Asia and Egypt witnessed an explosion in the production of so-called 'vitreous materials', in particular the earliest glass. From its outset, this material appeared in an enormous variety of colours and colour combinations, the manufacture of which demanded a high degree of technological know-how. The unique properties of glass also rapidly came to the fore, most notably the potential of glass to be worked while hot.

This thesis explores the implications of chinoiserie, or Western creations of Chinese-style decorative arts, upon an eighteenth century colonial American audience. Chinese products such as tea, porcelain, and silk, and goods such as furniture and wallpaper displaying Chinese motifs of distant exotic lands, had become popular commodities in Europe by the eighteenth century. The American colonists, who were primarily culturally British, thus developed a taste for chinoiserie fashions and wares via their European heritage.

This interdisciplinary project offers new research to introduce the American cult of the bosom, which emerged in the years following the Revolutionary War and helped shape the discourse around women’s roles in the early republic. The cult of the bosom sought to shift the way in which the female body, and especially the bosom, was regarded and represented by identifying it as the locus of a number of positive qualities associated with women, including virtue, modesty, beauty, and grace. This shift constituted, in the minds of citizens, a significant way in which American culture honored and cel

By the early 20th century, Japan was the master of the international exhibition format. With over fifty years of experience at world’s fairs in the West, Japan knew how to market its culture and products in a manner appealing to the Western consumer of both high art and decorative objects. The 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition provided the country with a unique opportunity to create a strong and lasting imprint on American bodies in the country pavilion site with its famed gardens and exotic, kimono-clad women. As the epicenter of Asian migration, San Francisco also offered unique opportunities to further the power of Japonisme in the arts, while politicians in both countries used the event to champion Japanese-American relations.

The introduction maps out the place of chinoiserie in the upheavals of early-twentieth century artistic consciousness. As the basic tenets of Realism became increasingly challenged by Modernist questioning, chinoiserie ‘absurdities’ offered the Modernist artist escape from Realism’s transcriptively referential constraints. The term has historically been confined to the decorative arts and critically overlooked as a somewhat moribund style. As a consequence, the continuities between chinoiserie and its role in Modernist ways of looking or seeing have been paid little attention. The introduction will suggest a new theoretical attention to chinoiserie as crucial to the re-visioning of the Modernist eye.

This chapter opens by establishing women's centrality to the religious life of the household and community, and, in particular, their work as model converts and proselytisers. It argues that women’s devotion was neither inherently private nor inherently concerned with questions of selfhood or personal transformation. Drawing on the Queer Phenomenology of Sara Ahmed, the chapter suggests the extent to which conversion functions as a re-orientation and change in direction. The second half of the chapter takes women’s biblical needlework as a case study in material culture as an instrument of orientation. Considering a group of manuscript poems alongside the evidence of inventories and surviving stitchcraft, the authors argue for the evangelical and devotional effects of women’s decorative arts, and suggest that scriptural and religious themes were not simply emblematic but intended to work upon and transform the viewer. For early modern readers and viewers, the needle was a doubly efficacious tool, able to prick not only fabric but the consciences of those who wielded it or meditated upon its products.

During the same period when American-made maps began to circulate in the public and private spheres, much of the impetus for recognizing maps as a form of spectacle was generated internally from within the maps’ signs, symbols, and inscriptions. Drawing on several hundred American maps, in particular wall maps, this chapter delineates design choices made by successive generations of commercial mapmakers who transformed maps into unique communication platforms intended for the simultaneous transmission of cartographic and noncartographic information. It shows that maps freely borrowed from a visual stock of signs, images, and graphic designs available in a media landscape that included small paintings, large street signs, and the decorative arts. Contending that American mapmakers constructed large and small maps by tapping a common visual literacy, this chapter offers a comprehensive morphology of American map designs, in the course of which it demonstrates a compositional logic linking maps as unique media platforms to nascent expectations about image legibility and commercial visual culture.

‘Against universalism’ explores the myriad challenges to universalism—in philosophy, social and political theory, and the arts—during the late twentieth century. It opens with a new view of 1960s radicalism, showing how its various quests for liberation radiated out into all arenas of American thought. Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) helped pave the way for the fire and fury of postmodernism, though many of the antiessentialist ideas of postmodernism were already present in early twentieth-century was rooting in dramatic transformations of thought. The 1980s and 1990s gave rise to identity politics and the culture wars, further challenging the notion of unified American ideals and identity.

It was my pleasure to participate in Oleg’s 65th birthday celebration and to reminisce about the early days of Biochemical NMR. Oleg was always there. I remember in the summer in the early 1960s sitting on lawn chairs at a Gordon Conference and discussing the need for a meeting on biochemical NMR. This was to convene those with common interests, and out of this grew the 1964 meeting in Boston, which was the first International Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems. In organizing the 1964 meeting Oleg was stalwart, in charge of the local arrangements at the old mansion, home of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. The venue was much appreciated by the more than 100 attendees, and the smooth arrangements and elegant, although somewhat dowdy locale, contributed to the sense, generated by the meeting, that the field had a coherent scientific core and a meaningful future. In the early days of the 1960s the field of magnetic resonance in biological systems, brought together biannually by the society, had a coherence that was nurtured by the society. In those days the NMR and ESR methods were much less developed than they soon became, so that any reasonably competent spectroscopist could understand all the methods employed. Additionally, because the earlier studies concentrated upon the better understood biological molecules or processes, the breadth of the applications did not baffle a slightly informed biochemist. The rapid advances in definite understanding were thrilling to practitioners in the field, and individual efforts were motivated by a sense that the field was going to grow. By that time NMR was firmly established as a quantitative method in chemistry, solid state physics, and other material sciences so that with the results in hand it was logical to extrapolate to a future in which magnetic resonance could be central to biological research. These high hopes, however, required considerable confidence in extrapolation, because the individual findings were sometimes slight when compared to the exciting cutting edges of biological research.

It was in his dealings with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) that Conant’s attempt to create a more meritocratic Harvard met its severest test. Out of this often tumultuous relationship came one of Harvard’s most influential academic innovations: a system for the appointment of tenured faculty that became standard practice in American universities. Conant inherited a faculty that was not necessarily the nation’s best. Because of Lowell’s stress on undergraduate instruction, the number and proportion of tutors and instructors steadily increased during the 1920s. At the same time, many of the best known Harvard professors during the Lowell years—Charles Townsend “Copey” Copeland and LeBaron Russell Briggs of the English Department, Roger B. “Frisky” Merriman in History—were not world-class scholars but charismatic classroom performers. Harvard had only one Nobelist, Conant’s chemist father-inlaw, Theodore W. Richards, before 1934; Chicago had three. Nor did its social scientists compare to those at Chicago or Columbia. The rather small stable of Harvard’s scholarly stars included historian Frederick Jackson Turner and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead, whose major accomplishments, done elsewhere, were long behind them. Carnegie Corporation president Frederick Keppel reported the prevailing view in 1934: “Harvard is still princeps but no longer facile princeps; and the story is current that at one of America’s great universities [no doubt Chicago] it is considered the height of academic distinction to receive an invitation from Harvard and to decline it.” Conant warned early on that the growing appeal of other universities and Harvard’s standardized salary, teaching, and research scales made it “increasingly difficult to attract from other universities and research institutes the outstanding men whom we desire.” The dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences was English professor Kenneth Murdock. Though he resented Conant for having gotten the Harvard presidency, Murdock was “quite willing” to continue to be dean if Conant wanted him. Conant did not. He appointed the less assertive George D. Birkhoff (among his qualities were exceptional mathematical ability and a keen anti-Semitism), who stayed in the job until 1939, when he was succeeded by the even more unassertive historian William S. Ferguson. Weak deans meant that Conant was in effect his own dean, deeply engaged in curriculum, student recruitment, and above all the selection of faculty.

This chapter explores how the author made room for discussions about race in their high school English Language Arts classroom and how the author's teaching became emotionally responsive as the author embarked upon an identity journey. The classroom discussions were the result of the author's students' lived experiences being reflected in the course readings and then a space being provided to unpack their meanings. The author's journey began with their early years in education and experiencing integration of Native Americans and White students in school. The author's identity journey embodied walking in two worlds but not being accepted in either; the author is both White and Native American. The author looks White but is an enrolled Northern Cheyenne woman. The author began her teaching career on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation as a long-term math substitute teacher at a high school. It was at this school that the author had many experiences unpacking race and learning how to implement emotionally responsive pedagogy.
