First and foremost, I must thank the generous, talented and very professional Chair of my dissertation committee, Dr. Grant Kester. A graduate student can only hope to have an incredible mentor and Chair with all the qualities that Grant exudes, and I will be eternally grateful for his belief in, and encouragement of, my project. I am equally grateful for the brilliance also represented in the other current and former members of my committee, whom include Dr. Michael Davidson, Dr. Mariana Wardwell, Dr. Alena Williams, Dr. Suzanne Hudson, Dr. Jennifer Gonzalez, Dr. Lisa Cartwright, and Dr. Amelia Jones. It is hard to put into words just how fortunate I feel about blossoming as a young scholar in concert with established, renowned scholars whose work I have admired for many years. I respect them very deeply and without reservation, along with their important, transformative, and visionary work. Without them, I could not do the progressive work I am trying to do here, and thanks to them, I strive to be the best scholar possible. It is meaningful that they believe in the critical import of my work. This project would also not have been possible without all the artists that I recognize in the pages of my chapters, many of whom I have had the privilege to enjoy prolonged professional and personal relationships through my curatorial work. These artists include Fayen d’Evie, Helen Dowling, Ricardo Gil, Joseph Grigely, Raphaëlle de Groot, Wendy Jacob, Christine Sun Kim, Alison O’Daniel, Noëmi Laikmaier, Park McArthur, Carmen Papalia, Laura Swanson, and Corban Walker. I’d also like to vii acknowledge some of the other artists with whom I have worked in a curatorial capacity over these past five years, which includes Katherine Araniello, Ingrid Bachmann, Mowry Baden, Francisca Benitez, Diane Borsato, Arseli Dokumaci, Lindsay Fisher, Erin Gee, Cassandra Hartblay, Sara Hendren, Martin Kersels, Darrin Martin, Christof Migone, Laurence Parent, Aaron McPeake, Anthony Ptak, Catherine Richards, Steven Roden, Kim Sawchuk, Katherine Sherwood, Stelarc, Sunaura Taylor, Alexa Wright and (Chun- Shan) Sandie Yi. Your work continues to captivate, amaze, and stimulate me, and I have enjoyed watching your practices grow, evolve, and take the world by storm. I hope our relationships can continue to mutually benefit and nurture our evolving and promising careers in the many years ahead, in the art world certainly, and also in the world at large, as we join together in our radical attempts to develop critical thinking towards disabled subjectivity. As mentioned in the above paragraph, my curatorial work has allowed me the opportunity to work with very closely with many of the artists who are the subject of this dissertation, so I’d like to thank all the people who have offered me opportunities to develop my critical ideas as they pertain to the intersection of contemporary art and disability studies. These include Matthew Callinan, Dr. Kristin Lindgren and Dr. John Muse at Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery at Haverford College (What Can a Body Do?, 2012); Jay Dolmage at the Canadian Journal of Disability Studies and Geoffrey Shea (Cripping Cyberspace, 2013); Allisun Curtin and Scott Polach at Space4Arts, San Diego (Composing Dwarfism and Performing Crip Time: Bodies in Deliberate Motion, 2014); John Spiak at Grand Central Art Center at California State University in Santa Ana and Trish Stone, Dr. Jordan Crandall and Dr. Brian Goldfarb at gallery@calit2 at the viii University of California San Diego (LOUD silence, 2014-2015); Padraig Naughton at Arts & Disability Ireland (Marking Blind, 2015); Ruth Gould, Dr. Chris Smit, and Dr. Aaron Williamson, through the partnership of DaDaFest and the DisArt Festival, showcased at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art and the Grand Rapids Art Museum (Art of the Lived Experiment, 2015); Barbara Fischer and Ann McDonald at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery, University of Toronto Art Center and Doris McCarthy Gallery at the University of Toronto (The Flesh of the World, 2015); Megan Whitman at the Laurie M. Tisch Gallery at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan (Laura Swanson: Resistance, 2016), and Ginger Shulick Porcella, Celia Gold, Marina Grize, Kevin Freligh, Nick Lesley and Meegan Nolan at the San Diego Art Institute (Sweet Gongs Vibrating, 2016). I would also like to thank the following individuals comprised of artists, scholars and much more, who have shaped my scholarship and my curatorial practice in some shape or form over the last five years: Dr. Patrick Anderson, Dr. Brenda Brueggemann, Dr. Lisa Cartwright, Dr. Eliza Chandler, Dr. Derek Conrad Murray, Dr. Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Dr. Faye Ginsburg, Dr. Joseph Grigely, Dr. Elizabeth Guffey, Dr. Brian Goldfarb, Georgina Kleege, Dr. Mara Mills, Dr. Karen Nakamura, Dr. Graham Pullin, Dr. David Serlin, Dr. Tobin Siebers, Dr. Vivian Sobchack, Dr. Bess Williamson Stiles, Dr. Joseph Stramondo, and Elizabeth Sweeney. I have dedicated this dissertation to my parents and to my husband, but I wanted to add a few more notes about the role each of them has played in my work as a junior scholar. My parents have partially financially supported me through the last five years, and it is important for me to

  • A Message for Lent from Rev. David Madden
    10 Creative Ways to Explore a Bible Passage by Jeremy Steele (www.umcom.org)(Note: This is a helpful and interesting article. Since space is limited, this will be a two or three part article, spread out in two or three newsletters.) #1 #14 Last month (February 2017 Methodist Dimension), we covered 1) Decode the Story and 2) Decipher the Argument, as ways to explore the Bible. Here are additional suggestions of out-of-the-box ways to explore, study and better communicate the Bible’s message. Good to the last drop 3. Design a comic strip: This method can be great when used with the first two ideas. Break the passage into eight or fewer discrete scenes and draw the key action of each scene paired with dialogue or important narration. This is all about exploring the passage by imagining what else is happening in the surroundings. What are the reactions of the other people? Do any props come into play? How are they held/used? How does the setting shape the scene? Don’t be afraid to use stick figures! 4. Create a meme: The current trend of placing a catchy word or phrase on top of an image is not only fun, but can also help you explore the Bible. Imagine that you are encouraging people to read a specific passage of the Bible. What phrase would hook Volume V – Issue 3 March 2017 people to read more? What image both matches the theme of the verse, and inspires curiosity? sample of a ‘meme’ 2017 5. Become a Bible translator: Don’t worry; we’re not arguing that you need to take several years of biblical languages to understand the Bible.

For our girls, Langsea and Lucia (5 and 4 years old as I submit this), who when playing “mommy” pause from dressing and feeding baby dolls to write their own dissertations. In thanks to the women of First Covenant Church in Rockford, Illinois and Kerry Staurseth (Langsea’s godmother) who watched those most precious to me so that this first child could at last be born, proving that it also takes a village to write a dissertation.

  • Kahlil Gibran a Tear and a Smile (1950)
    “perplexity is the beginning of knowledge…” Kahlil Gibran A Tear and A Smile (1950) STYLIN’! SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.
