    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium

    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

    The Ways and Whys of Narrative Presented by Gary Draper Spring 2017

    STORIES IN OUR LIVES: The Ways and Whys of Narrative Presented by Gary Draper Spring 2017 This series will examine the important roles played by narrative in entertainment, in literature and the other arts, and in our lives. We will look at a broad range of story forms, with consideration of their histories and their effects. Why do we tell stories? How do we tell them, and what difference does that make? And when we read them or listen to them or watch them, what are we looking for? INTRODUCTION The Reader’s Bill of Rights 1. The right to not read 2. The right to skip pages 3. The right to not finish a book 4, The right to re-read 5. The right to read anything 6. The right to escapism 7. The right to read anywhere 8. The right to browse 9. The right to read out loud 10. The right to not defend your tastes --Daniel Pennac, Better Than Life. “I’m forced to say that it seems very unsatisfying to me, and simply no story at all, if the ending is to be left so far in the air,” a New Yorker editor wrote in an internal memo about Mavis Gallant’s 1961 story “Two Questions.” “Seems to me that something should be completed, or it’s just a long sketch. It’s like life, and not—to me—like fiction.” William Maxwell, Gallant’s editor, replied, “The older I get the more grateful I am not to be told how everything comes out.” —Deborah Treisman, “Mavis Gallant,” New Yorker, March 3, 2014.

    La Vie Amoureuse De Nathaniel P. Adelle Waldman La Vie Amoureuse De Nathaniel P

    adelle waldman la vie amoureuse de nathaniel p. adelle waldman la vie amoureuse de nathaniel p. La trentaine, l’écrivain new-yorkais Nathaniel Piven connaît enfin le succès qu’il recherchait. Son roman est sur le point d’être publié, de nombreux jour- naux le sollicitent pour collaborer et il est entouré par les femmes les plus désirables. Mais est-il capable de s’engager réellement ? C’est la question qui se pose lorsqu’une de ses relations prend un tour plus sérieux… Immergée dans le Brooklyn des jeunes intellectuels, Adelle Waldman ausculte la psyché de ce citadin contemporain, imparfait, souvent exaspérant, mais qui lutte en permanence avec sa propre anxiété liée aux femmes. « Une comédie de mœurs du xxie siècle intelligente et charmante. Waldman excelle à rendre compte des défauts de communication dans une relation amoureuse. » Jess Walter, The New York Times Book Review « Adelle Waldman pourrait bien être la Jane Austen de cette génération. Dans son roman, aussi amu- sant que douloureusement juste par moments, elle ausculte à la perfection les marivaudages de ceux qui forment l’aristocratie d’aujourd’hui : la jeune élite littéraire de Brooklyn. » The Boston Globe « Un auteur à suivre. Profondément intelligent. » Jonathan Franzen « Pourquoi ce livre est-il si court ? Espérons qu’il y aura une suite !... » Gary Shteyngart LA VIE AMOUREUSE DE NATHANIEL P. Adelle Waldman est née en 1977 à Baltimore. Elle est diplômée de Brown University et de l’école de journalisme de Columbia University. Elle a été reporter pour le New Haven Register, le Cleveland Plain Dealer et a tenu une rubrique pour le site du Wall Street Journal.

It argues, convincingly, that the problem with banks is that they operate with vastly insufficient levels of equity capital, relative to their assets. Targeting return on equity, without consideration of risk, allows bankers to pay themselves egregiously, while making their institutions and the economy hugely unstable. Why Growth Matters: How Economic Growth in India Reduced Poverty and the Lessons for Other Developing Countries, by Jagdish Bhagwati and Arvind Panagariya, PublicAffairs, RRP£19.99/$28.99 Economic growth benefits the poor: that is this book’s theme. It is impossible to eliminate mass destitution in countries with low average incomes. So growth is a necessary condition for poverty alleviation. Is it also a sufficient condition? Again, yes, provided market-led liberalisation is sufficiently broad. India’s experience over the past two decades demonstrates this conclusively.

    Upper School Summer Reading 2020 – 2021

    Upper School Summer Reading 2020 – 2021 Below are the summer reading requirements and book lists for Upper School students at BB&N. Naturally, we encourage students to read well beyond the minimum number of required books. Therefore, you will also find a list of great reads recommended by the Upper School librarians at the end of this document. Students entering Grade 9 in the fall are expected to read two books from the English Department book list and one history book. Students entering Grades 10 – 12 in the fall are expected to read three books. • For most students, this will include one book from the English Department book list, one book in preparation for the student’s history course, and one book (or assignment) in preparation for the student’s world language course. • If a student does not have a required book for his or her history or world language course, the student must read an additional book from the English Department book list. In general, books for summer reading can be purchased at any bookstore or online bookseller. Additionally, students who are members of the Minuteman Library System, Boston Public Libraries (BPL), or local libraries should be able to find many of these books in ebook format for free. Students can sign up for an eCard for BPL access here. If a specific edition of a book is required for a course, it will be noted in the book description. If you have any questions about summer reading, please feel free to reach out directly to the teacher, Department Head, or Language Coordinator listed below.
