  • James Ricalton Lantern Slide Collection Mss
    James Ricalton Lantern Slide Collection Mss. Coll. 146 Biographical James Ricalton (born about 1844, in Waddington, NY, died in Waddington October 28, 1929) was a school teacher, traveler, inventor, and photographer. After briefly attending St. Lawrence University (class of 1871) Ricalton left before taking a degree and moved to Maplewood, New Jersey in 1871 for a 12-week, $200 contract as a school teacher. Contrary to practice at the time, his contract was renewed repeatedly until he became the district's first permanent school teacher and eventually principal. By all accounts, he was an extraordinary teacher, and his legacy is celebrated in the South Orange-Maplewood School District. He was locally famous for his habit of conducting classes outdoors in good weather and for his gentle manner. Among other things, a central square in Maplewood village is named after him, and there is a large mural of his outdoor classes in Maplewood municipal hall. In 1891, Ricalton retired as a teacher and spent the next 15 years as a full time photographer. He travelled extensively and circumnavigated the world seven times. He was a prolific photographer, leaving over 100,000 images, among them a large collection of stereoscopic images. His journeys included Iceland, Russia, the Middle East, and much of Europe. Thomas Edison sent him on a mission to find the right bamboo filament for a light bulb. The filament he found was used by Edison for nine months until tungsten was discovered. He also acted as a war photographer during the Boxer Rebellion in China, the Russo-Japanese War, and the installation of Edward VII as Emperor of India in 1901.

Christensen: Theodor Rocholl and the Time of a Reluctant Cosmopolite Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 15, no. 1 (Spring 2016) Theodor Rocholl and the Time of a Reluctant Cosmopolite by Peter Christensen A War Artist Opposite the World The term “cosmopolitanism” has come into vogue in recent years; however, much of its usage has been uncritical. Those who speak of cosmopolitanism have stressed the mechanics of pluralist societies, both historical and contemporary. The popularity of cosmopolitanism across fields is due in no small part to the concept’s promotion by Kwame Anthony Appiah in his 2006 masterwork, Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers.[1] Appiah sees cosmopolitanism as an ethical position advocating a kinship of humanity and a refutation of patriotism and nationalism, and the word has done much to counter the generic quality associated with terms like “globalization” and “multiculturalism.” However, Appiah’s concept has had a far more convincing currency in humanistic fields other than history—philosophy, law, politics—that emphasize the present and lived condition. The description of historical communities or historical figures as cosmopolitan inevitably carries an air of speculation, projective wishes, or utopian renarration.

  • In Search of Laughter in Maoist China: Chinese Comedy Film 1949-1966
    IN SEARCH OF LAUGHTER IN MAOIST CHINA: CHINESE COMEDY FILM 1949-1966 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ying Bao, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Kirk A. Denton, Adviser Professor Mark Bender Professor J. Ronald Green _____________________ Professor Patricia Sieber Adviser East Asian Languages and Literatures Graduate Program Copyright by Ying Bao 2008 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a revisionist study examining the production and consumption of comedy film—a genre that has suffered from relative critical and theoretical neglect in film studies—in a culturally understudied period from 1949 to 1966 in the People’s Republic of China. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, it scrutinizes the ideological, artistic, and industrial contexts as well as the distinctive textures of Chinese comedy films produced in the so-called “Seventeen Years” period (1949-1966). Taking comedy film as a contested site where different ideologies, traditions, and practices collide and negotiate, I go beyond the current canon of Chinese film studies and unearth forgotten films and talents to retrieve the heterogeneity of Chinese cinema. The varieties of comedy examined—mostly notably the contemporary social satires in the mid-1950s, the so- called “eulogistic comedies,” and comedian-centered comedies in dialect and period comedies, as well as lighthearted comedies of the late 1950s and the early 1960s— problematize issues of genre, modernity, nation, gender, class, sublimity, and everyday ii life in light of the “culture of laughter” (Bakhtin) within a heavily politicized national cinema.
