  • Journals 2016 Catalog Directors’ Letter
    MIT Press Journals 2016 catalog Directors’ Letter Dear Friends, The MIT Press celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012, and the inclination to ponder our distinguished history remains strong, perhaps even more so this year with the change in Press leadership—Amy Brand was named Director of the MIT Press in July of 2015. The Press’s journals division, which was founded in 1972, ten years after the books division, also has a significant publishing legacy to consider, with over 80 journals published since the division’s inception. Some, such as Linguistic Inquiry and The Journal of Interdisciplinary History, have grown with us from the very beginning. Other core titles like International Security, October, The Review of Economics and Statistics and Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience joined the Press over the following decades, providing a solid base for the high-quality and innovative scholarship that our journals division is well known for. Today, we continue to push the boundaries of scholarly publishing and communication. We relish discovering new fields to publish in, and working with scholars who are establishing new domains of research and inquiry. In keeping with that spirit, the Press is proud to launch a new open access journal in 2016, Computational Psychiatry, to serve a burgeoning field that brings together experts in neuroscience, decision sciences, psychiatry, and computation modeling to apply new quantitative techniques to our understanding of psychiatric disorders. Developing new ways of delivering journal articles and providing a richer range of metrics around their usage and impact is another current effort. On our mitpressjournals.org site, the Press is providing Altmetric badges for select titles to give an improved sense of the breadth of a journal article’s reach.

  • Elizabeth Pierce Blegen (1888-1966 by Elizabeth Langridge-Noti
    Elizabeth Pierce Blegen (1888-1966 by Elizabeth Langridge-Noti American Classical archaeologist Elizabeth Denny Pierce was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania on June 26, 1888 to Flora McKnight and her husband William Lemmex Pierce. Elizabeth attended Vassar College from 1906-1910, where she developed a love for the Classical world and continued through 1912 to receive an M A in Latin. A number of women at Vassar served as role models for her interest in the Classics and encouraged her to pursue this line of study. The most important of these women was to become her lifelong companion, Ida Thallon (Hill) (q.v.), who was credited by Elizabeth with introducing her to Greek archaeology and to many of the classicists and archaeologists who formed part of this community. Another influence at Vassar was Elizabeth Hazelton Haight, a feminist classicist who focused on the Roman world and pushed forward the role of women in the Classics in a number of ways, being the first woman to serve on the board of the American School of Classical Studies at Rome and the first woman chair of the American Philological Association. Other professors and later colleagues who influenced Elizabeth’s intellectual development were Grace Harriet Macurdy (q.v.) and Catherine Saunders, both of the Vassar Classics department. From 1912 to 1915 Elizabeth Pierce did further graduate work at Columbia University, possibly because Ida Thallon had done so, obtaining her Ph.D. in 1922. While there, she taught at her alma mater, Vassar College, from 1915 to 1922 in the field of Art History and also served as assistant curator in the school’s Art Gallery for seven years.

  • Tdr, the Drama Review: a Script for the “Gestation” of Performance Studies
    57 CARMELA CUTUGNO TDR, THE DRAMA REVIEW: A SCRIPT FOR THE “GESTATION” OF PERFORMANCE STUDIES TDR, The Drama Review, is the first and most important Performance Studies journal. It has existed for more than half a decade, it testifies to the birth of this field of research and its following main developments. By going through the history of the journal, this short overview shows how TDR is engaged in a genuine mutual osmosis between what appears on its pages and what is happening in the world of performance practice, studies, and research. Performance Studies is an area of research that has expanded so much that I cannot (and in fact I would not even) exercise a form of control over it. There are departments, or, anyway, courses in Performance Studies everywhere, and everyone is free to write what feels more right and to draw his or her own line within this field of research. I have my own tool through which I choose and I spread my Performance Studies and that tool is TDR, the major Performance Studies journal. Reading TDR means to be continually updated on further developments that occur within this discipline. By reading the various issues of TDR, from the beginning to the present day, it is possible to reconstruct the story of what happened inside the PS27. During a conversation in Canterbury, while working on Imagining O, his last performance created during his visiting professorship at the University of Kent, Richard Schechner used these words to explain me the way TDR has always been the review that offers up evidence of the state of the art in the field of Performance Studies, at least in the NYU tradition28.

The Enslaved Image: A Contemporary Visualization of Gender & Race JULIANNE SCHMIDT Johns Hopkins University Keywords Interpretation; Kara Walker; Historic House Museums; Slavery; Race; Gender Abstract The reluctance to address difficult history results in its erasure from the dialogue of historic sites. This paper analyzes the use of artwork in historic house museums as a method of confronting the legacy of slavery and racism in the United States. First it discusses the legacy of the African American image in artwork. Next, it considers the structure and impact of The Enslaved Image, an exhibition at Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, that pairs Kara Walker’s silhouette artworks with the social history of enslaved individuals who had lived at the site. Following this analysis is the conclusion on the importance of art in communicating the realities of persisting racial tensions throughout American history. About the Author Julianne M. Schmidt is a rising junior majoring in Art History and International Studies with a minor in Museums and Society at Johns Hopkins University.
