The Flâneuse's Old Age Universiteit Gent Academiejaar 2005 Women’s Passages: A Bildungsroman of Female Flânerie Verhandeling voorgelegd aan de Faculteit Letteren en Wijsbegeerte Promotor: Prof. Dr. Bart Keunen voor het verkrijgen van de graad van licentiaat in de taal- en letterkunde: Germaanse Talen, door (Karen Van Godtsenhoven). Credits: The writing of a dissertation requires a lot more than just a computer and books: apart from the many material and practical necessities, there still are many personal and difficult-to- trace advices, inspiring conversations and cityscapes that have helped me writing this little volume. This list cannot be inclusive, but I can try to track down the most relevant people, in their most relevant environment (in the line of the following chapters…). First of all, I want to thank all the people of the University of Ghent, for their help and interest from the very beginning. My promotor, Prof. Bart Keunen, wins the first prize for valuable advice and endless patience with my writings and my person. Other professors and teachers like Claire Vandamme, Bart Eeckhout, Elke Gilson and Katrien De Moor were good mentors and gave me lots of reading material and titles. From my former universities, I want to thank Prof. Martine de Clercq (KUBrussel) who helped me putting things together in an inspiring way. Other thank you’s go to Prof. Kate McGowan (Critical and Cultural Theory) and Prof. Angela Michaelis (Culture of Decadence) from the Manchester Metropolitan University, who gave me a more academic basis for my interest in the subject of this dissertation. I want to thank Petra Broeders from Passaporta in Brussels for lending me books and providing me with coffee, Guido Fourrier from the Fashion Museum in Hasselt for his refreshing tour of the A la Garçonne exhibition, the people from Rosa in Brussels for explaining me several gender issues, and Belle and Carolien from DASQ (Ghent) for their “decadent” literature salons where I had the opportunity to listen and talk to Denise De Weerdt. Then, there are the many friends and family members who supported me from a practical and mostly, psychological point of view. Thanks mom and dad for always being there for me and giving me the chance to study abroad for a year. Hurray for my brother Jeroen for his superb computer-skills, and my brother Martijn for giving me a chance to go to New York the flâneuse-way. Also, I want to thank my Erasmus friends who live all over the globe, for inviting me for time-consuming but inspiring trips to their cities (Maria, Johan, Camilla, Jenny and Gabriel from Stockholm, Maximilian from Graz, Barbara and Artur from Warschau, Ben, Sophia and Dave from Manchester, Tobias and Verena from Kolon, Meghan from Orlando). It gave me real-life experiences for my fourth chapter, and so much more. From Ghent, I want to thank my friends Lore, Hanne, Sarah, Belle, Ruth, Sofie and Rebecca for their unusual interest in an academic subject, whereas Ans, Ellen, Barbara, Maaike, Fille and Noreen (Grimbergen) helped me through the bad patches by providing me with their very entertaining company. Bedankt, Thanks, Tack, Danke schön, Dziekuje and ‘mercikes’ everyone. i I.

  • BRYANT PARK in Celebration of Gabriel Kreuther's Second
    christian boone BRYANT PARK In celebration of Gabriel Kreuther’s second anniversary and the 25th anniversary of Bryant Park as we know it today, we are delighted to present to you a cocktail menu that will allow you to travel through the history of our community and discover the secrets of the park and the New York public. Potter’s Field Illegal Mezcal • Lillet Blanc • St-Germain • Black Cardamom • Lemon ~ One of the first known uses for Bryant Park was as a potter’s field in 1823; its purpose was a graveyard for society’s solitary and indigent. It remained so until 1840, when the city decommissioned it and thousands of bodies were moved to Wards Island in prepara- tion for the construction of the Croton Reservoir. The Reservoir Ketel One Vodka • Red Pepper • Oregano • Lemon • Absinthe ~ The Croton Distributing Reservoir was surrounded by 50-foot high, thick granite walls and supplied the city with drinking water during the 19th century. Along the tops of the walls were public promenades where Edgar Allan Poe enjoyed his walks. A remnant of the reservoir can still be seen today in the New York Public Library. Washington’s Troop Michter’s Rye • Massenez Crème de Pêche • Apricot • Lemon • Rosemary ~ General George Washington solemnly crossed the park with his troops after suffering a defeat at the battle of Brooklyn in 1776, the first major battle of the war to take place after America declared independence on July 4th, 1776. After the battle, the British held CHAPTER I New York City for the remainder of the Revolutionary War.

Up to the present, however, formalist approaches have proven insufficient for decodifying the clear design which can be intuited in the language.

  • A Temporary Androgyne for Lynda Benglis and Richard Tuttle)
    _____________ In the Meantime, Examples of the Same Lily (A temporary androgyne for Lynda Benglis and Richard Tuttle) A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Royal College of Art for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Lee Triming December 2015 _____________ pink out of a corner (to Jasper Johns) In Buddhist mythology, the god Indra owned a net of jewels, each of which reflected each one of its fellows to infinity. A structure wherein each element, in relation to every other, leads endlessly away from itself. In The Infinite Conversation, Blanchot frames speech as detour.1 In the work of writers as diverse as Gertrude Stein and Henry James, various deployments of language turn the reader away, on numerous levels, from plot and character, from nouns and facts, from linear progression, from coherent narrative, clarity and cognition, engaging with reading as movement and encounter rather than as a progressive accumulation of quanta in the service of constructing a singular truth.2 Robert Rauschenburg once sent a telegram to Iris Clert saying “This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so”. What then is this movement in/of reading? Following Blanchot, we might think it as a movement of detour, which The Infinite Conversation locates in relation to the question: “Every true question opens onto the whole of questions… But now we see that there is in it, more “profoundly,” a detour that diverts questioning from being able to be a question, and from being able to bring about an answer.”3 The detour for Blanchot is labyrinthine: the question contains a detour away from itself; speech itself is a detour in which the question slips away; the question is a detour that speaks through the detour of speech.

In his first drypoints, Dine brought a fresh and imaginative attitude to printmaking, directly relating this work to his "happenings" and construc­ tion/canvases. He was one of the first to return to the ol^. art of hand-coloring prints, thereby producing a body of work of infinite variety. His most recent work has an expressive, tor­ tured character that expands and may reorient ideas regarding Dine's art and that of his generation. (East Wing, 1st floor) SOUND INSTALLATION Max Neuhaus June 8—Sep This is the second in a series of sound installations, the first of which was installed beneath a pedestrian island in Times Square where a deep, rich texture of sound was generated from beneath a subway grating, and transformed the aural environment for pedestrians.
