The dynamic Río Grande has run through all the valley’s diverse cultures: Puebloan, Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo. Photography arrived in the region at the beginning of the river’s great transformation by trade, industry, and cultivation. In Río Savage has collected images that document the sweeping history of that transformation—from those of nineteenth-century expeditionary photographer W. H. Jackson to the work of the great twentieth-century chronicler of the river, Laura Gilpin. The photographs are assembled in thematic bundles—river crossings, cultivation, trade, floods, the Mexican insurrection, the Big Bend region, and the estuary where the river at last meets the Gulf of Mexico. Essays by Rina Swentzell, G. Emlen Hall, Juan Estevan Arellano, Estella Leopold, Norma Elia Cantú, Jan Reid, and Dan Flores illuminate the images. 6 university of new mexico press 800–249–7737 October 144 pp. Also of Interest 8 × 10 81 duotones The Rio Grande An Eagle’s View $29.95 paper Steve McDowell; Edited by ISBN 978-0-8263-5689-5 Barbara McIntyre; Photographs by $44.95 CAD Adriel Heisey $75.00 cloth 978-0-615-23453-3 WildEarth Guardians 800–249–7737 university of new mexico press 7 8 university of new mexico press 800–249–7737 800–249–7737 university of new mexico press 9 ART • ARCHITECTURE christopher curtis mead taught from 1980 to 2013 at the Uni- versity of New Mexico, where he was a Presidential Teaching Fellow and a Regents’ Professor with joint fac- ulty appointments in the School of Architecture and Planning and the College of Fine Arts.

Drawing into Architecture The Sketches of Antoine Predock christopher curtis mead Known internationally for designing buildings that take their inspiration from the land, Antoine Predock explores many of his ideas about architecture through the fluent medium of drawing. This collection of 172 sketches, many published here for the first time, surveys nearly fifty years of his work. Presented in a format that evokes Predock’s sketchbooks, the drawings are arranged according to the logic of their internal topologies. Like a Möbius strip, they fold back on themselves, equating objects in space to drawn connections on a surface through a con- tinuous process of transformation. Whether sketching sites around the world or designing buildings, Predock has learned through years of experience to condense multiple sensations and ideas into line and color. Christopher Curtis Mead traces Predock’s aesthetic impulse back to the primal sense that through drawing we reach out to touch the world.

  • A Counter-Curriculum for the Pop Culture Classroom
    Acad. Quest. (2010) 23:420–434 DOI 10.1007/s12129-010-9196-5 POPULAR CULTURE AND THE ACADEMY A Counter-Curriculum for the Pop Culture Classroom Thomas F. Bertonneau Published online: 13 October 2010 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2010 Popular culture courses first appeared in the college and university curriculum in social science and humanities departments in the late 1950s in response to the Frankfurt School critique of the postwar bourgeois order. The Frankfurt School critics, Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, Hannah Arendt, Max Horkheimer, and Theodor W. Adorno, were in turn responding to Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, and Walter Benjamin. As a discipline, “popular culture studies” (shortened in recent years to “culture studies”) began as a disestablishmentarian enterprise pursued by activist intellectuals of left-liberal disposition. The names of Richard Hoggart and Raymond Williams are important as successors to the Frankfurt School figures and as contemporary cue-givers of the discipline. The scholar-radicals typically construed nineteenth-century civic custom—and even more so, twentieth-century bourgeois culture—as ideology, using the term in its Marxist sense as the expression of a false and freedom-limiting conscious- ness that impedes progress. In English departments and other departments where the study of literature was in order, interest in genre fiction was a going concern, with dedicated courses by the mid-1970s at the latest. So it was that, when I resumed matriculation toward my baccalaureate in the summer of 1983 at UCLA, I enrolled in an English department offering taught by the then young Raymond Paredes (now a dean) dedicated to the American Popular Novel Since World War Two, or some similar rubric.

  • Shane and the Language of Men
    Arcadia 2018; 53(1): 72–88 Jesse Gerlach Ulmer Shane and the Language of Men https://doi.org/10.1515/arcadia-2018-0005 Abstract: Jane Tompkins has argued that a deeply conflicted relationship exists between men and language in the Western. Deploying too much language emas- culates Western heroes, men who privilege action over talk. For support, Tomp- kins turns to a number of moments in Shane, the 1953 film adaptation of the 1949 novel of the same title by Jack Schaefer. Tompkins argues that the film constructs a model of masculinity that wholly rejects language, a move that is destructive and exploitative to self and others. However, a close reexamination of the novel reveals a model of masculinity that is more positive and flexible towards lan- guage and gender than Tompkins’s views on the Western suggest. A close reread- ing of the novel shows that men in Westerns do not always use talk and silence to subjugate women and others, and that the valuing of language over action does not always end in violence or exploitation. Furthermore, the film adaptation of the novel will be examined, a work that occupies a more cherished place in American culture than the novel, a situation that is the reverse of traditional cultural hierarchies in which the literary source material is privileged over the film adaptation. Ultimately, the novel and film are engaging in different ways, yet Schaefer’s novel, rather than being relegated to middle school literature class- rooms, rewards serious critical and scholarly attention, particularly in the context of the film adaptation and critical discourse on the representation of masculinity in the Western.

  • Where the Wild Places Grow: a Comparative Case Study of the American West and the Brazilian Backlands in Fiction
    Where the Wild Places Grow: A Comparative Case Study of the American West and the Brazilian Backlands in Fiction João Duarte de Carvalho Rei Manso Pinheiro Dissertação de Mestrado em Literaturas e Culturas Modernas – Estudos Ingleses e Norte-Americanos Julho, 2020 Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Literaturas e Culturas Modernas – Estudos Ingleses e Norte-Americanos, realizada sob a orientação científica da Professora Doutora Isabel Oliveira Martins. Where the Wild Places Grow: A Comparative Case Study of the American West and the Brazilian Backlands in Fiction João Duarte de Carvalho Rei Manso Pinheiro Abstract This dissertation aims to recognize and systematize some of the most important characteristics of the reproduction of the West and the Sertão in fiction, through a comparison of two significant literary examples of both these countries (United States of America and Brazil). We can consider the main objective of this dissertation to contrast and compare between the most important characteristics inherent to literary use of space and character in our case studies, and, after that, to ascertain the reasons that led, from what appears to be a similar background, to very disparate methods towards the construction of a national identity. Since a compendium pertaining to all the Literature developed in and about those places would be a daunting task, and one that would not fit the restrictions that a Master’s dissertation is delimitated by, a strict restriction had to be put in place in terms of the works analyzed. The novels were chosen for their importance in the literary canon of their respective countries as well as the pertinence of their topics towards the construction of an identity of the American West and the Brazilian Sertão.
