  • Oral History Interview with Roy Emerson Stryker, 1963-1965
    Oral history interview with Roy Emerson Stryker, 1963-1965 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Roy Stryker on October 17, 1963. The interview took place in Montrose, Colorado, and was conducted by Richard Doud for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview Side 1 RICHARD DOUD: Mr. Stryker, we were discussing Tugwell and the organization of the FSA Photography Project. Would you care to go into a little detail on what Tugwell had in mind with this thing? ROY STRYKER: First, I think I'll have to raise a certain question about your emphasis on the word "Photography Project." During the course of the morning I gave you a copy of my job description. It might be interesting to refer back to it before we get through. RICHARD DOUD: Very well. ROY STRYKER: I was Chief of the Historical Section, in the Division of Information. My job was to collect documents and materials that might have some bearing, later, on the history of the Farm Security Administration. I don't want to say that photography wasn't conceived and thought of by Mr. Tugwell, because my backround -- as we'll have reason to talk about later -- and my work at Columbia was very heavily involved in the visual.

  • Silence Studies in the Cinema and the Case of Abbas Kiarostami
    SILENCE STUDIES IN THE CINEMA AND THE CASE OF ABBAS KIAROSTAMI by Babak Tabarraee M.A., Tehran University of Art, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Film Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2013 © Babak Tabarraee, 2013 Abstract This thesis is an attempt to formulate a systematic framework for ‘silence studies’ in the cinema by defining silence in pragmatic terms and suggesting different forms of filmic silence. As an illustration of my model, I examine the variety of silences in the works of Abbas Kiarostami, a notable figure of Art Cinema. The analytical approach suggested here can further be applied to the works of many other Art Cinema auteurs, and, by extension, to other cinematic modes as well, for a better understanding of the functions, implications, and consequences of various forms of silence in the cinema. Chapter 1 provides a working and pragmatic description of silence, applicable to both film and other communicative forms of art. Chapter 2 represents a historical study of some of the major writings about silence in the cinema. Chapter 3 introduces, exemplifies, and analyzes the acoustic silences in the films of Kiarostami, including the five categories of complete , partial (uncovered; covered with noise, music, or perspective), character/dialogue , language , and music silences. Chapter 4 introduces the concept of meta-silence and its trans-sensorial perceptions in communication and in arts, and then defines the four categories of the visual , character/image , narrative , and political silences in Kiarostami’s oeuvre.

During the fall term we shall examine how a dozen or so writers wrote within the studio system before it collapsed in the late 1950s, including a sustained look at the work of Preston Sturges.

  • Read Book Recommendations & Critiques
    Sister City book Recommendations Recommendations written by people to promote the book SISTER CITIES by Ana Edwards and Robin Poulton ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2018-2019 Richmond Sister Cities Commission Chair Tom Lisk I have been working with Sister Cities International for more than 40 years, and I was delighted to find a book in the pipeline about the Richmond-Ségou relationship when I returned to become the 2018-2019 Chair of the Richmond Sister Cities Commission. Our relationship with Ségou has been rich, both because of the personalities involved (at both ends) with their dedication to international peace and friendship, and also because there are genuine links of history and culture between our two cities. Virginia’s food and music have West African roots. Their origin was the terrible slave trade of course, but the result is a commonality of culture and experience that Malians and Virginians can exploit to build deep friendships and new, shared re-interpretations of history. I have never seen these issues better described that in the new book SISTER CITIES, where Ana Edwards and Robin Poulton illustrate our 400 years of our shared history with stories, conundrums and solutions in both the Ségou and the Richmond environments. I recommend that every sister city commissioner in the world should read this book – as well as teachers and students of Africa and of the African American experience. Readers will find out how joint sister city projects work (or sometimes do not work) and how our rich shared history has created the opportunities for Citizen Diplomacy that President Eisenhower envisaged more than half a century ago.
