Historical Sketch The Kansas City Athenaeum is one of the oldest women’s organizations in Kansas City. Established in the 1894, the initial goal of the Athenaeum was to combine the efforts of several existing women’s clubs into a single organization through which its members would more effectively promote and influence a variety of educational, civic, and philanthropic causes. Over the course of its history, the club has campaigned for women’s suffrage, the establishment of kindergartens, city milk inspectors, prohibition, and numerous other public health, welfare, and education Missouri Valley Special Collections • http://www.kchistory.org • 14 W. 10th St., Kansas City, MO 64105 • 816.701.3427 THE KANSAS CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY initiatives, as well as a range of charitable and city beautification projects. The Athenaeum also participated in the founding of Missouri Girls Town in the 1950s, which it continues to support. In 1896, the Kansas City Athenaeum became a charter member organization of the Missouri Federation of Women’s Clubs (MFWC). And in 1898, the group joined the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC), the largest and oldest volunteer women’s organization in the world. Club operations and activities are overseen by a system of committees. Until the 1995-1996 club year, Athenaeum members were additionally organized into departments through which they participated in specialized activities and studies relating to specific interests. Such departments included Fine Arts, Bible Study, Current Events, History and Travel, Liberal Arts, and Music. Departments were not permanent, and had the ability to form, change names, and disband according to members’ interests. Early Athenaeum meetings and activities took place in a variety of locations around town until 1914, when, after a determined fundraising effort, the group built and opened its own clubhouse at 900 E. Linwood Boulevard. The Greek revival building served the club for 101 years, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. In November 2015, the Athenaeum sold the building to the Delta Educational and Economic Development Foundation, an organization founded by the Kansas City alumnae chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority. Membership in the Kansas City Athenaeum exceeded 1,000 in the 1920s, but dwindled at the end of the 20th century, prompting the formal admittance of men as members in 2002. The club continues to operate today. Scope and Content Note Materials in this collection document the club’s operations, activities, and members.

  • Liminal Periods in the Udmurt Ritual Year
    AADO LINTROP Estonian Folklore Archives, Tartu Liminal Periods in the Udmurt Ritual Year In our cultural space we usually imagine our lifetime as a journey. Wayfarer or pilgrim is common metaphor for us as travellers on the road of life. We have several stages or parts on our way and many mental milestones and turns for marking and separating them. Actually we can say that linear time of human life is also structured by the cyclic rhythms of year and day. These contain for us periods of different significance. Holy periods There are interim periods during a person’s lifetime as well as during the calendar year, which are characterised by a state of indefiniteness or being without borders due to lack of everyday boundaries. The times are open to both good and evil and are close to the supernatural. Mental boundaries and landmarks are part of our system of orientation. Without them, space would be homogeneous; there would be no difference between familiar and unfamiliar, good and evil, sacred and profane places. It is the same with time. The expressions good times, hard times, crazy times, fast times, holiday time, everyday time, childhood, youth, manhood etc. contain obvious judgements and defining of limits. Transitions from one time, one period of life, one status to another are kind of crossroads or fork in the road in time. As we well know from the mythologies of different peoples, crossroads are liminal places in space where homeless or restless spirits gather and miscellaneous magic will be done (Puhvel 1989). If liminality causes ordinary orientation to be unable to function, then usual behaviour will also turn out to be ineffective or unsuitable.

    Spiderwick Tes t Your Activity Sheet Faerie Knowledge It wasn’t all that long ago that faeries were regarded as the substance of the imagination. Boggarts, Elves, Dragons, Ogres . mankind scoffed at the idea that such fantastical beings could exist at all, much less inhabit the world around us. Of course, that was before Simon & Schuster published Arthur Spiderwick’s Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You. Now, we all know that faeries truly do exist. They’re out there, occasionally helping an unwary human, but more often causing mischief and playing tricks. How much do you know about the Invisible World? Have you studied up on your faerie facts?

    “‘ON THE VERGE OF HEARING’: EPISTEMOLOGY AND THE POETICS OF LISTENING IN THE HUMAN-NIXIE ENCOUNTER IN GERMAN LITERATURE” A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German By Deva Fall Kemmis Hicks, M.A. Washington, DC April 18, 2012 Copyright 2012 by Deva Fall Kemmis Hicks All Rights Reserved ii “‘ON THE VERGE OF HEARING’: EPISTEMOLOGY AND THE POETICS OF LISTENING IN THE HUMAN-NIXIE ENCOUNTER IN GERMAN LITERATURE” Deva Fall Kemmis Hicks, M.A. Thesis Advisor: G. Ronald Murphy, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines selected texts of German literature in which a human being gains access to knowledge outside human scope by means of an encounter with the water nixie, seen in her mythological variations as siren, water sprite, undine, melusine, nymph, or mermaid. Texts to be considered include Das Nibelungenlied (ca. 1200), Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s “Der Fischer” (ca. 1779), Franz Kafka’s “Das Schweigen der Sirenen” (1917), Ingeborg Bachmann’s “Undine Geht” (1961), and Johannes Bobrowski’s “Undine” (1964). In each of these texts it is not the eyes that play the central role in the epistemological character of the human-nixie encounter, but the ears. In this project I argue that the human posture of attentive listening that precedes the encounter with the nixie indicates a state of readiness that leads to a moment of extraordinary awareness, in which the epistemological experience is transformational. Further, I suggest that poetry plays a pivotal role in the moment of epiphany, or of transformational knowing, for the reader.

  • Melusine Machine
    MELUSINE MACHINE The Metal Mermaids of Jung, Deleuze and Guattari [Received January 28th 2018; accepted July 28th 2018 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.12.2.07] Cecilia Inkol York University, Toronto <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: This article takes the image of the feminine water spirit or mermaid as the focus of its philosophical contemplation, using her image as a map to traverse the thought- realms of Jung, Deleuze and Guattari. The feminine, watery symbol in this elaboration acts as the glue that enjoins the ideas of Jung with Deleuze and Guattari and reveals the imbrication of their ideas. Through their streams of thought, the mermaid is formulated as an emblem of technology, as a metaphor that makes reference to the unconscious and its technological involutions, her humanoid-fish form providing an image of thought or way of talking about the transformation of form, and the flitting, swimming valences at work in the unconscious. KEYWORDS: Jung, Deleuze, Guattari, mermaid, nixie, unconscious, technology Introduction This article pivots around a particular image — the feminine water spirit, embodied in her forms of mermaid, nixie 1 or water sprite — through the thought-architectures of the philosophers Jung, Deleuze and Guattari; it traces the filaments that connect these philosophers to this feminine image, as well as to one another, unfurling the imbrication and lineage of their ideas. Within the thought-structures of Deleuze, Guattari and Jung, her fluid figure is elucidated as an emblem of technology, as a metaphor that refers to the unconscious and its technological involutions; her humanoid-fish form providing an image of thought or way of talking about the transformation of form, and the flitting, swimming valences at work in the unconscious.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
