In order to counteract previous decontextualized and over-universalizing discussions of contemporary Chinese art, most art history, theatre, and performance studies scholars have emphasized how art and culture emerged within specific historical and political contexts. However, by repeatedly relying on contextualization, the Chinese are reproduced as lacking imagination, contradictions, and complexity. By examining the historical emergence of this discourse, I demonstrate the limits of past approaches in order to explore other methodological possibilities. In contrast to other scholars who have situated contemporary Chinese performance and art within over-determined modes of contextualization, this dissertation locates alternative methodological possibilities in affect and feelings.

  • Janet Clemens: Imagine Being Considered for a Huge Commission, with Your Qualifications Being Debated on the Senate Floor
    >> Janet Clemens: Imagine being considered for a huge commission, with your qualifications being debated on the Senate floor. Your age, your experience, your talent are all being questioned. Now imagine your place is restricted to the balcony, observing silently while surrounded by press. [ Music ] You're listening to Shaping History: Women in Capitol Art, produced by the Capitol Visitor Center. Our mission is to inform, involve, and inspire every visitor to the United States Capitol. I'm your host, Janet Clemens. [ Music ] There are multiple ways that statues are incorporated into the Capitol collection. In addition to the National Statuary Hall Collection, Congress can receive artworks as gifts, or they can commission specific works. Vinnie Ream was the first woman to receive one of these commissions, in 1866, and also has two statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection, making her the only woman to have three sculptures in the Capitol collection. While there were other women who forged paths in sculpture, Vinnie Ream stands apart. Inexperienced, ambitious, strategic, bewitching, an untutored genius, undoubtedly as gifted as she was attractive, a woman illustrious only in mind, not just famous, but notorious, these are a few of the phrases that were used to describe Vinnie Ream during her career. I spoke to Melissa Dabakis, Professor of Art History Emerita at Kenyon College, about this young celebrity sculptor. She's the author of a book, "A Sisterhood of Sculptors: American Artists in Nineteenth-Century Rome." Professor Dabakis, welcome to the podcast. >> Melissa Dabakis: Thank you. >> Janet Clemens: So we're going to talk today about Vinnie Ream.

  • AMERICAN LITERARY MINIMALISM by ROBERT CHARLES
    AMERICAN LITERARY MINIMALISM by ROBERT CHARLES CLARK (Under the Direction of James Nagel) ABSTRACT American Literary Minimalism stands as an important yet misunderstood stylistic movement. It is an extension of aesthetics established by a diverse group of authors active in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that includes Amy Lowell, William Carlos Williams, and Ezra Pound. Works within the tradition reflect several qualities: the prose is “spare” and “clean”; important plot details are often omitted or left out; practitioners tend to excise material during the editing process; and stories tend to be about “common people” as opposed to the powerful and aristocratic. While these descriptors and the many others that have been posited over the years are in some ways helpful, the mode remains poorly defined. The core idea that differentiates American Minimalism from other movements is that prose and poetry should be extremely efficient, allusive, and implicative. The language in this type of fiction tends to be simple and direct. Narrators do not often use ornate adjectives and rarely offer effusive descriptions of scenery or extensive detail about characters’ backgrounds. Because authors tend to use few words, each is invested with a heightened sense of interpretive significance. Allusion and implication by omission are often employed as a means to compensate for limited exposition, to add depth to stories that on the surface may seem superficial or incomplete. Despite being scattered among eleven decades, American Minimalists share a common aesthetic. They were not so much enamored with the idea that “less is more” but that it is possible to write compact prose that still achieves depth of setting, characterization, and plot without including long passages of exposition.
