  • Spanish Women's Poetry of the 1980S and 1990S
    PERIPHERAL VISIONS: SPANISH WOMEN’S POETRY OF THE 1980S AND 1990S DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tracy Manning Muñoz, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Professor Stephen J. Summerhill, Adviser Approved by Professor Rebecca Haidt _____________________________ Adviser Professor Elizabeth Davis Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese Copyright by Tracy Manning Muñoz 2006 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the use of vision (the sense of sight) and visuality (social seeing) in four women poets of the 1980s and 1990s in Spain: Ana Rossetti, Maria- Mercè Marçal, Aurora Luque, and Montserrat Abelló. All four combine the use of vision and visuality with questions of gender performance and identity as a challenge to normative and culturally constructed gender(ed) behavior. The very fact that the majority of the lyric voices in their poems does not have a defined gender, as many of the people that they view do not, permits them to move from subjectivation to subjectification. Through the manifestation of gender “difference,” the various lyric voices leave behind their status as marginalized members of Western gendered culture. Although not all of the lyric voices are ungendered or ambiguously gendered, sufficient questions of, and challenges to normative gendered behavior exist to warrant including these four poets in the same study, despite their ostensible differences. The theoretical framework for this study focuses on Freudian ideas of voyeurism and exhibitionism as well as pleasurable and unpleasurable looking (scopophilia and scopophobia), Foucauldian ideas of power, and Lacanian ideas of the mirror stage and subjectivity.

  • The Order of the Dragon As Reflected in Hungarian and Croatian Heraldry
    1 THE ORDER OF THE DRAGON AS REFLECTED IN HUNGARIAN AND CROATIAN HERALDRY Ivan Mirnik The Order of the Dragon On March 18, 2006 an exhibition (TAKÁCS ed. 2006) opened at the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts, dedicated to Emperor and King Sigismund of the house of Luxemburg (b. Feb. 15, 1368 – King of Hungary, Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia 1378-1437 – Margrave of Brandenburg 1378 – crowned King of Hungary March 31, 1387 - Roman King July 21, 1411 – crowned King of Bohemia July 28, 1420 – crowned Roman Emperor in Rome May 31, 1433 - d. Znaim, Dec. 9, 1437). In July of the same year it was opened in Luxemburg, at the Musée national d'histoire et art, in a reduced version. Before this exhibition, a symposium was held in Luxemburg in 2005, as an introduction to the forthcoming exhibition (PAULY – REINERT eds. 2005). The authors of both papers presented at the symposium and of the exhibition catalogue have succeeded not only in bringing this ruler and his era closer to us, but also from a historical distance to present his character and deeds in an objective manner. The exhibition itself was excellent and well conceived. At the Emperor Sigismund Exhibition one could, in one room (Section IV – Die Welt der Drachenritter), admire all the paraphernalia of the Order of the Dragon. It was a unique opportunity to see these items, gathered from all over Europe, assembled in one place for the first and probably the last time in history. The catalogue, for instance, listed the famous sword of King Charles Robert's Order of St.

  • THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY of the FIRST OIV AWARDS an Award Created “To Publish a Leaflet Promoting Wine Consumption Aimed at School Children All Around the World”
    1 2020: THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST OIV AWARDS An award created “to publish a leaflet promoting wine consumption aimed at school children all around the world”. In 1930, in issue no. 24 of the “BULLETIN INTERNATIONAL DU VIN”, the OIV – then the “International Wine Office”, founded on 29 November 1924 – publishes regulations governing the first OIV Awards (1) This is a call for applications, firstly, to write text and captions in French or in one of the languages of the OIV “member” countries, and secondly, to illustrate this “promotional leaflet” in support of wine and its health benefits, entitled: “The Truth about Wine”. Candidates are required to indicate the various virtues of drinking wine from “early childhood”: as a “tonic” or “medicinal vehicle in small doses as prescribed by a doctor”. Then they are to specify that, from the age of 10-12, “moderate doses of wine should form part of main meals”. Finally, they are instructed that, for adults, specifically “healthy individuals ... all the reasons in favour of using this beverage should be emphasised”. “The Awards to be given out will be: one prize of 5,000 francs and two of 1,000 francs.” In France, in the context of the struggle against the prohibitionist laws enacted by the United States, all 1930s promotional campaigns in support of (moderate) wine consumption are illustrated by this quote from Louis Pasteur: “Wine is the most healthful and most hygienic of beverages." Below: a “Bon Point” bearing an image of Louis Pasteur (the “Bon Point” was a reward given to good students in schools).

    THE SALTON COLLECTION RENAISSANCE 6- BAROQUE MEDALS & PLAQUETTES BOWDOIN COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART MCMLXV THE SALTON COLLECTION Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/saltoncollectionOObowd THE SALTON COLLECTION RENAISSANCE & BAROQUE MEDALS & PLAQUETTES BOWDOIN COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART BRUNSWICK, MAINE MCMLXV COPYRIGHT 1965 THE PRESIDENT & TRUSTEES OF BOWDOIN COLLEGE, BRUNSWICK, MAINE PREFACE Few artifacts of any age have come down to us charged with the meaning of so many facets of their time as the Renaissance medal. Though relatively diminutive in size, they embody to an exceptional degree that fusion of art and thought which is one of the chief glories of the Renais- sance. Indeed, in their beauty and their learning, these medals are a reflection in microcosm of the civilization which produced them. They represent a world which celebrated not only princes and prelates but poets and scholars as well, and they have been preserved down through the years by those who have cherished them as enduring expressions of the Humanistic tradition. ^ The present collection, one of the finest of its kind in private hands, belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Mark Salton of New York. The Salton Collection is particularly distinguished for the extremely high level of quality of the specimens in it; many of them, indeed, have come from the illustrious collections of the past. No fewer than seventeen examples are unique. While the origins of the Salton Collection date from before World War II, most of the pieces it now contains were col- lected since that time. Mrs. Salton has taken as great an interest as her husband in the formation of the collection, and her enthusiasm for, and knowledge of, medals is evident in her Introduc- tion to the Catalogue.

  • 1 Favorite French Medals
    1 Favorite French Medals – A Collector’s Choice by Ira Rezak Presented at the Société américaine pour l'etude de la numismatique française (SAENF) during the New York International Numismatic Society January 2014 A collector’s choice……choice, the very essence of collecting; we all collect what we want to. The quintessential act of collecting is usually thought of as occurring at the decisive and often exciting moment of first acquisition, of purchase, at auction, in a shop etc. But the later recollection, the re- collection, of things that we already own affords a more leisurely kind of pleasure, one involving contemplation of why we acquired the object in the first place, what we’ve learned about it over time what it has come to mean to us. Like most of you, I have particular areas of focus in my collections in my own case, specifically, medals, coins and tokens of medical and of Jewish historical interest. But I also have a freer, less pre-determined mode of collecting, in which items unrelated to these themes, different from what I normally look for, pique my interest as they serendipitously cross my path and, as the saying goes, are “picked up”. About thirty-five years ago, in just this way, during a business trip to Europe, I unexpectedly found and soon acquired a really exotic item – a French wife. I could, of course, re-collect and share with you some details of my initial acquisition, later study and ongoing appreciation, but that’s not the subject du jour. Rather I mention it by way of explaining how it is that I have acquired many of the French medals I plan to share with you this afternoon.

  • What Is Archery Australia?
    INFORMATION HANDBOOK ARCHERY AUSTRALIA The sport of archery was introduced to Australia by the European settlers in the 18th and 19th centuries and is known to have been a flourishing social activity in the mid 1800’s. However, it wasn't until the late 1930s that archery was organised on an Australia-wide basis and first proposed by Dudley Preston, a leading archer in Western Australia. After an enforced interruption due to the Second World War, his proposal came to fruition at a conference of State delegates held in Sydney on 17-18 January, 1948. After the normal preliminaries, the first major item on the agenda was the motion that: "The Archery Association of Australia be and is hereby formed." This motion was carried and therefore has to be regarded as the official date of birth of the Association. The meeting went on to consider matters of national and international associations and competitions, including a resolution to affiliate with FITA the International Archery Federation. The first Annual General Meeting of the Association was held in Sydney on the same weekend as the first National Championships - 3, 4 and 5 October 1948. In 1993, the Archery Association of Australia changed its name to Archery Australia. The Association was for many years governed by a Board comprised of eight societies (Archery Society of NSW, Archery ACT, Archery Victoria, Archery Society of Tasmania, Archery South Australia, Archery Society of Western Australia, Archery Society of North Queensland and Archery Society of South Queensland). The day to day affairs of the association were managed by a part time Executive Committee.
