Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam 2002 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012200201_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 7 Director's foreword In 2003 the Van Gogh Museum will have been in existence for 30 years. Our museum is thus still a relative newcomer on the international scene. Nonetheless, in this fairly short period, the Van Gogh Museum has established itself as one of the liveliest institutions of its kind, with a growing reputation for its collections, exhibitions and research programmes. The past year has been marked by particular success: the Van Gogh and Gauguin exhibition attracted record numbers of visitors to its Amsterdam venue. And in this Journal we publish our latest acquisitions, including Manet's The jetty at Boulogne-sur-mer, the first important work by this artist to enter any Dutch public collection. By a happy coincidence, our 30th anniversary coincides with the 150th of the birth of Vincent van Gogh. As we approach this milestone it seemed to us a good moment to reflect on the current state of Van Gogh studies. For this issue of the Journal we asked a number of experts to look back on the most significant developments in Van Gogh research since the last major anniversary in 1990, the centenary of the artist's death. Our authors were asked to filter a mass of published material in differing areas, from exhibition publications to writings about fakes and forgeries. To complement this, we also invited a number of specialists to write a short piece on one picture from our collection, an exercise that is intended to evoke the variety and resourcefulness of current writing on Van Gogh.

  • Dream Chapter
    Guisinger Legacy 1 Chapter Five DREAMING STORIES Even in our sleep, pain that does not forget falls drop by drop upon the heart and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. – Aeschylus Aeschylus, writing in the fifth century B.C., was uncannily accurate. Every night when we fall asleep we slip into a realm we do not control. Researchers have discovered that the dreaming brain searches for emotionally fraught memories, the “pain that does not forget,” and revisits them with input from all over the cortex. It does so while silencing the “will,” the prefrontal cortex. In dreams, even the most stolid and unimaginative of us creates wonderfully singular images and stories: I am late to catch a train. I am on a long journey on a bicycle. I live in a spacious old mansion next to a waterfall. Something frightening is living in the basement. The roof is leaking. I am flying over a marshy landscape pumping the air with my arms. Through these metaphors wisdom may come to us. Although, like Aeschylus, some still attribute this “grace” to God, science now attributes dreams to natural processes. Dreams can nudge, remind, or sometimes shock us out of preoccupation with the trivial to focus on what really matters, on our instinctual duties to our family, community, and our own self-development. Despite dream researchers’ evidence, many scientists still consider dreaming nonfunctional—the nonsensical result of the random firing of resting neurons. Most surprisingly, most evolutionary psychologists as well either ignore dreaming or casually dismiss the idea that it may have adaptive significance.

    Indians, Empires, and the Contest for Information in Colonial Miami and Illinois Countries DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Cameron M. Shriver Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Professor Margaret E. Newell, Advisor Professor John L. Brooke Professor Lucy E. Murphy George Ironstrack Copyright by Cameron M. Shriver 2016 Abstract Colonial regimes in eighteenth-century Miami and Illinois Countries reflected imperial efforts to institutionalize surveillance. Placed within military bureaucracies, Euro-American networks attempted to exert control over this Indian Country and their development was in direct response to Miami and Illinois politics and communication. ii Acknowledgments Since I started this project, I have benefitted from a great deal of help. For sharing their expertise and support, I am grateful to Neil Safier and Iris Montero, Kim Nusco, Val Andrews, and Ken Ward at the John Carter Brown Library, as well as the scholarly community while I was there: Natalie Zemon Davis, Justin Pope, Michi Nakashima, Ahmed Reid, Kim Hall, Jake Frederick, Stephen Hay, Tatiana Seijas, Nathan and Jacqueline Wachtel, Nancy van Deusen, Jim Muldoon and Michele Reid-Vazquez. Meg McSweeney, Kathy Ludwig, Brian Graziano, and Laura and Patrick Spero at the David Library; Susie Moser at the Huntington Library; and Scott Manning Stevens at the Newberry Library made my research profitable and pleasant. Special thanks to Drew, Melissa, and Walter LaVine for their hospitality in Chicago. Colonial Williamsburg is special to me, more so for the friendship of Del Moore, Inge Flester, Juleigh Clark, Susan Shames, and Joann Proper who welcomed me back for research, as well as Ted Maris- Wolf and Jim Horn who both discussed some of the ideas that ended up in this dissertation.
