  • Marx, Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Popular Culture, Chapter A
    Marx, Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Popular Culture, Chapter A Culture and Contexts (intro from printed book) News stories don’t satisfy on a human level. We know that Guantanamo is still open, but do we really know what that means?’ The idea is to experience an emotional understanding, so it’s not just an intellectual abstraction. -Laura Poitras, filmmaker The structure, process and narrative units that make up most of the book rely on language in presenting facts and argument. In contrast, the emphasis in this unit is on forms of artistic expression. .Images and music are one component of the culture of surveillance that so infuses our minds and everyday life. The symbolic materials and meanings of culture are social fabrications (though not necessarily social deceptions). They speak to (and may be intended to create or manipulate) needs, aspirations, and fears. Culture communicates meaning and can express (as well as shape) the shared concerns of a given time period and place. Surveillance technology is not simply applied; it is also experienced by agents, subjects, and audiences who define, judge and have feelings about being watched or a watcher. Our ideas and feelings about surveillance are somewhat independent of the technology per se. As with the devil in Spanish literary tradition (image below) the artist can serve to take the lid off of what is hidden, revealing deeper meanings. Here the artist acts in parallel to the detective and the whistleblower: Marx, Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Popular Culture, Chapter A In the original version of the book I divided the cultural materials into two units.

I will look specifically at the ideals of feminine beauty and virtue embedded in classical archetypes such as the Three Graces and the Renaissance Madonna. Discussion of the thesis work will also be situated in relation to the history and symbolic connotations of the Black Madonna. iii For Iesha and Jeremyah, These works could not have been possible without you.

  • The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain
    THE HAUNTED MAN AND THE GHOST’S BARGAIN CHAPTER I—The Gift Bestowed Everybody said so. Far be it from me to assert that what everybody says must be true. Everybody is, often, as likely to be wrong as right. In the general experience, everybody has been wrong so often, and it has taken, in most instances, such a weary while to find out how wrong, that the authority is proved to be fallible. Everybody may sometimes be right; “but that’s no rule,” as the ghost of Giles Scroggins says in the ballad. The dread word, GHOST, recalls me. Everybody said he looked like a haunted man. The extent of my present claim for everybody is, that they were so far right. He did. Who could have seen his hollow cheek; his sunken brilliant eye; his black-attired figure, indefinably grim, although well-knit and well- proportioned; his grizzled hair hanging, like tangled sea-weed, about his face,—as if he had been, through his whole life, a lonely mark for the chafing and beating of the great deep of humanity,—but might have said he looked like a haunted man? Who could have observed his manner, taciturn, thoughtful, gloomy, shadowed by habitual reserve, retiring always and jocund never, with a distraught air of reverting to a bygone place and time, or of listening to some old echoes in his mind, but might have said it was the manner of a haunted man? Who could have heard his voice, slow-speaking, deep, and grave, with a natural fulness and melody in it which he seemed to set himself against and stop, but might have said it was the voice of a haunted man?

  • The Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 Collides with Real Estate Ownership
    The Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 Collides with Real Estate Ownership Sara E. Dysart ACREL Spring Meeting – March 2016 The following works of art have a connection: (i) a very large sculpture occupying most of a building’s lobby; (ii) a ten feet high and thirty feet wide banner to be placed behind the information table at an annual one-day legislative effort; (iii) a bronze medallion with Zodiac signs, which crowns a S-shaped circular granite path, along with outlying sculptures of many bronze crabs, frogs, and shrimp and a large seashell; (iv) two large-scale elliptical flower beds which spanned 1.5 acres of parkland within gravel and steel borders; and (v) a football-field size exhibit made up of some of the following components: a movie theater, a house, a bar, a mobile home, various sea containers, a bomb carousel, and an aircraft fuselage. Each has been the subject of a federal appellate court decision construing the application of the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 (“VARA”).1 Ruling for the artist in only one limited instance in these five decisions, the federal appellate courts have denied the artists’ rights to assert VARA claims based upon findings that (i) the artists were employees and the artwork was a “work for hire”, an exclusion to VARA; (ii) VARA does not apply to advertisement or promotional materials; (iii) VARA protection does not extend to site-specific art; (iv) a work of nature (not art) is not subject to copyright protection and, therefore, not subject to VARA protection; and (v) because VARA applies to unfinished art, in this instance the artist has a claim for integrity, but not attribution.
