    July 2005 Volume 36, Issue 3 Court Rules: Historic Designation of Coronado Belt Line Unlawfully Set Aside by City Council SUSAN BRANDT HAWLEY The San Diego Historical Resources Board has declared after careful review that the portion of the Coronado Belt Line railway located in San Diego is a historic site. At the request of the MTDB and Councilmember Ralph Inzunza, the City Council overturned the Board’s desig- nation in 2004 against the recommendations of City staff and the City Manager, with Councilmember Donna Frye as the sole dissenting vote. Save Our Heritage Organisa- tion (SOHO) sued the City because, as City staff pointed out, there was no legal basis to overturn the historic status. (San Diego Superior Court Case GIC837743.) On July 15th, San Diego Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Prager ruled in favor of SOHO, agreeing that the City acted unlawfully and granting a peremptory writ requir- ing the City to set aside its action. (See ruling at www.sandiego.courts.ca.gov.) Photo/Bruce Coons The Coronado Belt Line looped around the San Diego coastline and up the Silver Strand to Coronado as part of the Spreckels railroad empire, contributing to San Diego’s growth and vitality as it linked the City with the harbor and South Bay communities. From 1888 until the mid-20th century, the Belt Line regularly transported residents, visitors, World War I and II military shipments, agricultural products, building materials, and commer- cial and industrial wares through the region. SOHO Executive Director Bruce Coons said, “This is an important precedent proving that the City Council can not arbitrarily overturn historic designations just because they want to approve some ill-advised development scheme.

  • Denying Genocide: “America's” Mythology of Nation, the Alamo
    Denying Genocide: “America’s” Mythology of Nation, The Alamo, and the Historiography of Denial by Robert Anthony Soza A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Patricia Penn Hilden, Chair Professor Ula Taylor Professor José David Saldívar Professor Paul Thomas Fall 2010 Denying Genocide: “America’s” Mythology of Nation, The Alamo, and the Historiography of Denial © 2010 by Robert Anthony Soza Soza 1 Abstract Denying Genocide: “America’s” Mythology of Nation, The Alamo, and the Historiography of Denial by Robert Anthony Soza Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Patricia Penn Hilden, Chair History, the adage goes, is written by the victors. As a result, history represents the values, ideologies, and most importantly for this dissertation, the remembrances of the victorious. Their remembrances never remain ethereal or disembodied; they become the object lessons about the past for those living in the present. And these object lessons, the lessons of history, become the narratives and locations that transmit a nation’s idealized values and origin stories. It is in this confluence of remembrances, object lessons, values and origin stories that this dissertation examines in the Alamo. The Alamo represents a consummate site of memory for the United States. As a cultural narrative it persists from a mid-nineteenth century battlefield through the present day as a cinematic narrative. The Alamo is one of the historical watershed moments of the Westward expansion. However, the tales of the victors (ironically, in this case, the victors at the Alamo are the Euro- Americans who died in the battle) transmit values, lessons and stories steeped in narratives of denial.

  • Project B and the Charging Bull
    Happy Bullish 2011!!!: Olek’s Project B Ingrid Asplund Project B and the Charging Bull Arturo Di Modica’s Charging Bull is imposing in scale. It is a model of muscular machismo and a popular tourist spot. It stands taller than most people in the middle of a very busy part of Manhattan, usually gleaming in the sun like a trophy of capitalist masculinity. Its scale is met with detail, as the Charging Bull features expressive eyes and eyebrows, a stance that exudes motion and energy, and a detailed musculature, from ribs to thighs. Very early Christmas morning (about three o’clock) in 2010, the artist Olek escaped from any potential sugar-plum fantasies and stole down to Wall Street to leave a Christmas gift for New York City.1 Olek had crocheted, by hand and without assistance, a covering for the Charging Bull, perhaps a sweater or a sort of “bull cozy” and installed it in the dead of night so as to avoid the authorities. She would later entitle this piece Project B (Wall Street Bull).2 The finished product was, like the object that it covered, imposing, even intimidating, but Project B contrasted Charging Bull with the comforting, warm, and cozy associations of yarn. The piece’s execution is impressive in several ways: the yarn suit fits the Charging Bull precisely from horn to tail with no room for slacking or sagging, and the viewer can see every curve, bulging belly and thighs included. It is not formed in one seamless piece, but rather by means of several blocks of crocheted yarn stitched together with thick seams.
