Landscape of Remembrance: Spatial Distribution of New Orleans Katrina Commemorations Landscape of Remembrance: Spatial Distribution of New Orleans Katrina Commemorations Mike Winiski – Furman University / Penn State University Drew Woten – Furman University Perspective “’Distant reading’ I have once called this type of approach; where distance is however not an obstacle but a specific form of knowledge: fewer elements, hence a sharper sense of their overall interconnection. Shapes, relations, structures. Forms. Models.” Moretti, 2005, Graphs, Maps, Trees Research Questions 1. How do the locations and forms of Katrina commemorations in greater New Orleans correspond to storm impact? 2. Are certain contingents, as represented by place and demographics, excluded from the commemoration process? 3. Do the form and nature of these commemorations vary across the city and different neighborhoods? If so, how? http://www.flickr.com/photos/midnightquill/416540958/sizes/z/in/photostream/ Defining Commemoration 1. Has a discernible location (temporary or permanent) 2. Visibly invokes a remembrance of Katrina event 3. Invokes memory of event or collective loss, rather than individual memorials (grave markers, etc.) Purpose of Commemorations • Remember • Grieve • Honor lost loved ones • Hold accountable / Ascribe responsibility • Express anger • Confirm community through shared experience • Tell stories • Express hope • Promote understanding within and beyond community http://photos.nola.com/photogallery/2010/08/hurricane_katrina_body_art_15.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/navillusphotography/3626506521/sizes/z/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/navillusphotography/3626506521/sizes/z/in/photostream/ Exclusion “Cultural, just as individual memory is an extremely narrow space regulated by rigid principles of selection and forgetting. Those who examined the borderline—Gray speaking for the poor peasants, Woolf speaking for women, Ellison speaking for African Americans— were for the first time calling attention to the structural mechanisms that exclude whole groups of the population from active participation in the cultural memory” (Assmann, 2009, p. 48). http://www.flickr.com/photos/13023662@N07/2095391083/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Categorizing Commemoration http://www.artscouncilofneworleans.org/article.php?story=20081208164221496 http://www.flickr.com/photos/michelledwright/5594207635/ “Tattoo artists interviewed by the Associated Press a year after the hurricane indicated that as many as half of their customers wanted storm-related http://photos.nola.com/photogallery/2010/08/hurricane_katrina_body_art_9.html inscriptions (Plaisance, 2006).” Gentry & Alderman, 2006, Trauma Written in Flesh, Tattoos as Memorials and Stories http://photos.nola.com/photogallery/2010/08/hurricane_katrina_body_art_43.html Methodology 1.Defining Commemoration and Category 2.Data Collection 3.Defining / Quantifying ‘Impact’ 4.

Vera-Grunauer, M.ASCE14; and J. Wartman, M.ASCE15 Abstract: The failure of the New Orleans regional flood protection systems, and the resultant catastrophic flooding of much of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, represents the most costly failure of an engineered system in U.S. history. This paper presents an overview of the principal events that unfolded in the central portion of the New Orleans metropolitan region during this hurricane, and addresses the levee failures and breaches that occurred along the east–west trending section of the shared Gulf Intracoastal Waterway/ Mississippi River Gulf Outlet channel, and along the Inner Harbor Navigation Channel, that affected the New Orleans East, the St. Bernard Parish, and the Lower Ninth Ward protected basins. The emphasis in this paper is on geotechnical lessons, and also broader lessons with regard to the design, implementation, operation, and maintenance of major flood protection systems. Significant lessons learned here in the central region include: ͑1͒ the need for regional-scale flood protection systems to perform as systems, with the various components meshing well together in a mutually complementary manner; ͑2͒ the importance of considering all potential failure modes in the engineering design and evaluation of these complex systems; and ͑3͒ the problems inherent in the construction of major regional systems over extended periods of multiple decades.

NIMS JAZZ WALK OF FAME, AND GET THE BEST VIEW OF NEW ORLEANS’ SKYLINE COPYRIGHT © 2016, KEVIN HERRIDGE www.risingsunbnb.com Jazz musicians of the 1920s referred to Algiers as “over da river” or the “Brooklyn of the South,” the latter for its proximity to New Orleans as compared to New York and Brooklyn, both separated by a river. This tour concentrates on the Algiers Point neighborhood, that has a long, rich history of African American, French, Spanish, German, Irish, and Italian/Sicilian residents. Algiers, the second oldest neighborhood in New Orleans after the French Quarter, was the site of the slave holding areas, newly arrived from Africa, the powder magazine, and slaughterhouse of the early 18th century. John McDONOGH, the richest man, and largest landowner in New Orleans, lived here. Algiers was famous countrywide in the African American communities for its “Voodoo” and “Hoodoo” practitioners, and is celebrated in songs on this subject. The earliest bands containing Algiers’ musicians included the Pickwick Brass Band (1873-1900s), the Excelsior Brass Band (1880-1928), Jim DORSEY’s Band (1880s), Prof. MANETTA’s String Band (1880s), BROWN’s Brass Band of McDonoghville (1880s), and Prof. A. L. TIO’s String Band (aka the Big Four) (1880s), the Pacific Brass Band (1900-1912), and Henry ALLEN’s Brass Band (1907-1940s).
