  • In Search of the Amazon: Brazil, the United States, and the Nature of A
    IN SEARCH OF THE AMAZON AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS/GLOBAL INTERACTIONS A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global pres- ence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cul- tural and political borders, the fluid meanings of intercultural encoun- ters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between histo- rians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the represen- tational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical in- quiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, chal- lenged, and reshaped.

    National Trust a |b |c BULLETIN rts uildings ollectionssummer issue 2014 PLEASURABLE AND PROVOKING Interpretation should seek to ‘get into the soul of things’ isits to historic houses remain very popular; but I am not sure Vthat people enter National Trust houses with the anticipation of being excited, of their curiosity being stirred, of learning something new, or of being moved. I feel that kind of anticipation when I go to see a film or a play, and— more and more—when I visit a museum. I believe that our houses should —and could—pack a similar punch. This was certainly the view of Freeman Tilden (1883-1980), the American inter- pretation expert who wrote a handbook for US National Park Rangers in 1957. It The re-creation of the First World War hospital at Dunham Massey, Cheshire is a fascinating read, and 57 years on, it A visitor’s experience must, of course, is just as relevant to us today as it was to be pleasurable, and the National Trust has the rangers then. Tilden recognised that done a great deal in this area over the last interpretation is not just about facts. In- continued on page terpretation is about engaging people: to spark their curiosity, to tease them into INSIDE thinking differently, and to feel. In Til- den’s words, interpretation seeks ‘to get to the soul of things’, and in so doing it can 4 Acquisitions open a window in our hearts and minds. 5 Pevsner’s achievement reassessed Or, as Tilden also wrote, ‘the chief aim is Freeman Tilden not instruction, but provocation.’ 8 Unravelling Uppark, and Picture Frames at Ham House 9 Puzzle of the blind windows at EPHEMERA Mount Stewart 11 The long search for Emma FOR CRAGSIDE Vernon’s portrait at Hanbury A group of ephemera relating to Cragside Hall was purchased at auction at Anderson & 13 Saltram by the Book Garland, Newcastle, for £346 including buyer’s premium.
