    Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Por más de cuatro décadas Patricia Phelps de Cisneros ha sido promotora de la educación y del arte, con un enfoque particular en América Latina. En la década de los setenta estableció, junto con su esposo Gustavo Cisneros, la Fundación Cisneros con sede en Caracas y Nueva York. La misión de la Fundación es contribuir a la educación en América Latina y dar a conocer el patrimonio cultural latinoamericano y sus múltiples contribuciones a la cultura global. La Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, fundada a principios de la década de los noventa, es la principal iniciativa cultural de la Fundación Cisneros. Primeras influencias, trabajo y educación William Henry Phelps (1875-1965), bisabuelo de Patricia Cisneros, emprendió una expedición ornitológica en Venezuela, tras concluir su tercer año de licenciatura en la Universidad de Harvard. En ese viaje se enamoró del país y, al concluir sus estudios, regresó para asentarse permanentemente en el país. Phelps fue el gran emprendedor de su época, desarrollando prácticas modernas de negocios y estableciendo varias compañías, desde emisoras de televisión y estaciones de radio hasta importadoras de automóviles, refrigeradores, victrolas, máquinas de escribir, además que fue pionero en introducir el gusto por el béisbol en el país. Creó también la primera fundación en Venezuela. Su profundo interés por las ciencias naturales lo llevó a convertirse en un notable ornitólogo, a catalogar muchas especies aviarias de Suramérica y a publicar sus descubrimientos junto a su mentor, el científico Frank M. Chapman, en el Museo de Historia Natural de Nueva York (AMNH por sus siglas en inglés).

Proponents of the recent past argue that by restricting evaluation of historic architecture to only that which is 50-years or older is leading to widespread endangerment and demolition of buildings and sites with periods of significance from the postwar era. This report studies the use of criterion G in-depth since the inception of the National Register program and attempts to identify and quantify the resources lost through continued adherence to the 50-year rule. The analysis is done in two parts.

  • 'Deprived of Their Liberty'
    'DEPRIVED OF THEIR LIBERTY': ENEMY PRISONERS AND THE CULTURE OF WAR IN REVOLUTIONARY AMERICA, 1775-1783 by Trenton Cole Jones A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2014 © 2014 Trenton Cole Jones All Rights Reserved Abstract Deprived of Their Liberty explores Americans' changing conceptions of legitimate wartime violence by analyzing how the revolutionaries treated their captured enemies, and by asking what their treatment can tell us about the American Revolution more broadly. I suggest that at the commencement of conflict, the revolutionary leadership sought to contain the violence of war according to the prevailing customs of warfare in Europe. These rules of war—or to phrase it differently, the cultural norms of war— emphasized restricting the violence of war to the battlefield and treating enemy prisoners humanely. Only six years later, however, captured British soldiers and seamen, as well as civilian loyalists, languished on board noisome prison ships in Massachusetts and New York, in the lead mines of Connecticut, the jails of Pennsylvania, and the camps of Virginia and Maryland, where they were deprived of their liberty and often their lives by the very government purporting to defend those inalienable rights. My dissertation explores this curious, and heretofore largely unrecognized, transformation in the revolutionaries' conduct of war by looking at the experience of captivity in American hands. Throughout the dissertation, I suggest three principal factors to account for the escalation of violence during the war. From the onset of hostilities, the revolutionaries encountered an obstinate enemy that denied them the status of legitimate combatants, labeling them as rebels and traitors.

  • Roditi, Edouard (1910-1992) by John Mcfarland
    Roditi, Edouard (1910-1992) by John McFarland Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2006 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Poet, translator, literary and art critic, and short story writer, Edouard Roditi was associated with most of the twentieth-century's avant-garde literary movements from Surrealism to post-modernism. For more than sixty years, he produced such an astonishing variety of smart, lively, and moving poetry and prose that nobody objected when he dubbed himself "The Pharaoh of Eclecticism." A member of several predominantly homosexual social circles, Roditi maintained friendships with literary and artistic figures ranging from Paul Bowles and Jean Cocteau to Paul Tchelitchew and Christian Dior. His art and literary criticism held artists and writers to the very highest standards and insisted that intense but uncritical infatuation with flashy new trends could end in disappointment and heartbreak. His Internationalist Birthright Roditi was born in Paris on June 6, 1910. He was the beneficiary of a remarkably rich confluence of heritages--Jewish, German, Italian, French, Spanish, and Greek--and was truly international, both American and European. His father, Oscar, an Italian born in Constantinople, had become a United States citizen after his father emigrated to America and gained citizenship. Although Oscar's father had left the family behind in Europe, all the family in Europe became citizens when he did by virtue of the citizenship statutes in force at that time. Roditi's mother, Violet, had an equally rich family history. She was born in France but became an English citizen in her youth. When she married Oscar, she too became a United States citizen.
