  • Tour of Ewing Sites Connected with William Green
    Visit Ewing Landmarks Connected with the William Green Family By Anne McArthur [email protected] or 609 510-9120 Sources: research by Billy O’Neal and sources in the Benjamin Temple House William Green I is one of Ewing’s earliest and most prominent settlers. Many Ewing citizens are familiar with his home, the William Green Farmhouse, listed on The National Registers of Historic Places, located on The College of New Jersey campus. Descendants of William Green are scattered throughout the United States. A recent question received by the Friends of the William Green Farmhouse inspired this article. A descendant of William Green I’s youngest son, Jeremiah, contacted the Friends and arranged a visit to his ancestor’s home. Jeremiah had moved to Tennessee in the 18th century and his descendant now lives in Alabama. When he visited, the Friends arranged a driving tour to view the outside of buildings associated with William Green and his descendants. Jeremiah’s descendant was impressed with how many historic treasures associated with his ancestors still survive. The Friends want to share with you information about sites related to the Green family still standing in Ewing. Enjoy a physical tour of these Ewing Township sites! None of the houses are open to the public but may be viewed from the exterior. If you or your friends have additional records about the Green family or their properties, please contact the author. William Green was a yeoman and an early Hunterdon County judge. He and his wife, Joanna Reeder, came to Ewing from Newtown, NY around 1700.

  • Skinny Blues: Karen Carpenter, Anorexia Nervosa and Popular Music
    Skinny blues: Karen Carpenter, anorexia nervosa and popular music George McKay We might locate that colloquial inauguration of anorexia on a Las Vegas nightclub stage in the fall of 1975, when the popular musician Karen Carpenter collapsed while singing ‘Top of the world’; or on the morning of 5 February 1983, when news [broke] of Carpenter’s death from a ‘starvation diet’…. [I]n the 1970s and 1980s [anorexia] … became a vernacular, an everyday word, an idiom. Patrick Anderson, So Much Wasted (2010, 32) The words come out of yr mouth but yr eyes say other things, ‘Help me, please, I’m lost in my own passive resistance, something went wrong’…. Did anyone ever ask you that question—what’s it like being a girl in music? Kim Gordon, ‘Open letter to Karen’ (n.d.) This article discusses an extraordinary body (Thomson 1997) in popular music, that belonging to the person with anorexia which is also usually a gendered body—female—and that of the singer or frontperson. I explore the relation between the anorexic body and popular music, which is more than simply looking at constructions of anorexia in pop. It involves contextually thinking about the (medical) history and the critical reception and representation, the place of anorexia across the creative industries more widely, and a particular moment when pop played a role in the public awareness of anorexia. Following such context I will look in more detail at a small number of popular music artists who had experience of anorexia, their stage and media presentations (of it), and how they did or apparently did not explore their experience of it in their own work and public appearances.

  • Virtual Realities and the Museum Experience
    VIRTUAL REALITIES AND THE MUSEUM EXPERIENCE How VR is improving the visitor experience at the Anne Frank House, Het Scheepvaartmuseum and Tropenmuseum Jennifer Willcock MA Heritage: Museum Studies Thesis University of Amsterdam Submitted to the Graduate School of Humanities at the University of Amsterdam in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Heritage Studies: Museum Studies Author: Jennifer Willcock Student Number: 11592702 Word Count: 17,194 Supervisor: Dr. Dos Elshout Secondary Reader: Prof.dr. Bram Kempers 1 ABSTRACT Virtual Reality (VR) has recently become a trend in museums worldwide. In 2018, three museums with very different missions incorporated VR into their exhibitions, each to diverse effect. By analysing the cases of the Anne Frank House, Het Scheepvaartmuseum and Tropenmuseum, it is possible to explore the many possibilities that VR technology now offers museums. This thesis will explore to what extent the interactive capabilities of VR can be used to enrich visitors’ experiences, and how it can encourage their engagement with the museums respective topics. Key Words: Virtual Reality, Visitor Experience, Authenticity, Interactivity, Accessibility, Edutainment, Disneyfication, Intangible Cultural Heritage 2 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the staff and my fellow students of the MA Museum Studies course for their support over the last 20 months - to share our enthusiasm for museums has been a joy, and I hope we will one day be colleagues again. I would also like to extend my thanks to Charlotte Bosman and Titia Zoeter, my interviewees, who were so generous with their time and provided many valuable insights on this topic.
