Trying to Live Now Chronotopic Figures in Jenny Watson’S a Painted Page Series
Vol 3, No 1 (2014) | ISSN 2155-1162 (online) | DOI 10.5195/contemp.2014.98 http://contemporaneity.pitt.edu Trying to Live Now Chronotopic Figures in Jenny Watson’s A Painted Page Series Chris McAuliffe Abstract Between late 1979 and early 1980, Australian artist Jenny Watson painted a sequence of six works, each with the title A Painted Page. Combining gridded, painted reproductions of photographs, newspapers and department store catalogues with roughly painted fields of color, the series brought together a range of recent styles and painterly idioms: pop, photorealism, and non-objective abstraction. Watson’s evocation of styles considered dated, corrupted or redundant by contemporary critics was read as a sign of the decline of modernism and the emergence of a postmodernism inflected with irony and a cool, “new wave” sensibility. An examination of the Painted Pages in the context of Watson’s interest in autobiography and her association with the women’s art movement, however, reveals the works to be subjective, highly personal reflections on memory, self and artistic aspiration. Drawing on Bahktin’s model of the chronotope, this paper argues for a spatio-temporal reading of Watson’s Painted Pages rather than the crude model of stylistic redundancy and succession. Watson’s source images register temporal orders ranging across the daily, the seasonal and the epochal. Her paintings transpose Bahktin’s typology of quotidian, provincial and “adventuristic” time into autobiographical paintings of teenage memories, the vicissitudes of the art world and punk subcultures. Collectively, the Painted Pages established a chronotopic field; neither an aggregation of moments nor a collaged evocation of a period but a point at which Watson closed off one kind of time (an art critical time of currency and succession) and opened up another (of subjectivity and affective experience). -
Title of Thesis: ABSTRACT CLASSIFYING BIAS
ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

Im here with Producer Jason DeFillippo. On this episode, were back with Jack Barsky. Jack Barsky, author of Deep Undercover: My Secret Life and Tangled Allegiances as a KGB Spy in America. All right, before we go any further, if you have not heart part one of this story from Jack Barsky, look in the episode feed last week -- Jack Barsky part one. You need to listen to that first or this is just not going to make any sense and youre depriving yourself of the beginning of an amazing story. And if you want to go there directly on the website, its at theartofcharm.com/633. Last time we were here and we left off last week, KGB Spy Jack Barsky had been trained in Moscow, gotten schooled on how to pretend to be an American, left his family in East Germany, and just landed in Chicago, finally stealing an identity of an American. And on this episode were going to hear how he assimilated to American culture, how he managed to fool his family, his friends, his colleagues into believing his false identity as well as how Jacks double life and identity started to wear away at him, how the allure of communism began to wain, how his brainwashing started to wash away if you will -- or just be brainwashed in a different way. I guess you could put it that way, it just depends on how you look at things -- and why Jack decided to stay and become a real American and how he shook his KGB handlers and the Soviet Union off of his back. -

St3l1n commit American power to save South Korea from Communist aggression in late June 1950 stands as perhaps America's finest moment of the Cold War. By making a difficult commitment, by sacrificing 50,000 American lives in the end, Truman upheld Western values and interests where they were directly threatened. It is easy to overlook the unpopularity and unpleasantness of a war which, though necessary, nevertheless remains unknown to most Americans today. Our sacrifices in Korea beginning in the disastrous summer of 1950 merit recognition and honor in their own right, yet they deserve our attention for another reason almost completely neglected in accounts of the period. By dispatching the 24th Infantry and 1st Cavalry Divisions from comfort able occupation duty in Japan to death and ratus opened the "Greek line," supplying destruction in Korea in mid-summer 1950, the Communist insurgents in neighboring Greece United States actually did nothing less than save v.r:ith weapons and supplies, an effort which the world from a global conflagration. quickly outpaced Soviet support to the guerrillas; 10,000 Yugoslav "volunteers" fought alongside (U) The issue was found not in Asia but on the their Greek allies too. -
