CSLP Annual Meeting Minutes Friday, April 21, 2006 Chauncey Conference Center, Princeton, New Jersey 8:00 Pm, EDT CSLP Annual Meeting Minutes Friday, April 21, 2006 Chauncey Conference Center, Princeton, New Jersey 8:00 pm, EDT Children’s Manual Julie Tomlianovich began with discussion on the Paws, Claws, Scales & Tales manual. Many felt that it would be hard to comment on it before it had been used. Julie announced that at Wednesday’s meeting there was a discussion about gathering manual feedback at the end of the summer rather than just before the Annual Meeting. This would also allow us to consolidate some of our surveying for opinions. She distributed a handout summarizing all of the comments she had received so far. Children’s Program Themes After requesting email submissions for theme wording for 2008, she was able to get feedback on the top choices. They were: - Catch the Reading Bug (19 votes) - What’s the BZZZ @ your library (15 votes) - Backyard Safari (14 votes) - Wings, Stings & Leggy Things (10 votes) - Don’t Bug Me, I’m Reading (10 votes) - Buggy for Books (9 votes) - Book a Backyard Safari (8 votes) - Bug Out @ your library (7 votes) - Buggin’ Out @ your library (7 votes) - Bee a Reader! (6 votes) - The Good, the Bad & the Buggly (6 votes) - Get Bitten by the Book Bug @ your library (5 votes) - Inspect Your World @ your library (5 votes) - Let the Book Bugs Bite (5 votes) The question came up about how easy any of these would be to translate. Barb Huntington (WI) said that she will check with a translator afterward. Bonnie Kunzel (NJ) reminded the group that last year, we decided that we would not worry about how to translate a theme—that would be left up to the discretion of the translator. Our job was simply to pick an English theme that works well in English, and then allow the translator do their job, which is what they are trained to do. Discussion followed about the benefits and drawbacks of the various theme wording selections. Julie Tomlianovich emphasized the importance of having the words “book,” “reading,” or “library” in the theme so that our message is clear from the start. A library that used a baseball promotional theme had difficulty in getting the audience to realize it was about books and reading, not baseball. There was also concern by some about themes that did not say “@ your library,” but it was pointed out that that can be added or not, as the group decides. Some felt that “Backyard Safari” would be difficult for city kids who don’t have a backyard, but others thought that would not be a problem—they still know about backyards and go outside to parks and such. Ann Simon (NY) liked it because it suggested questing and searching. Carol Baughman (KY) suggested that if we had a really wonderful artist, perhaps a reading bug mascot could be created to go along with the program, mimicking the central image on the poster. Margaret Miles 1 (NC) asked if the artwork could be more nature oriented rather than cartoon oriented, to help appeal to older elementary rather ages rather than younger kids only. She felt that a “cute” reading bug would appeal to kindergarteners but not 10-year-olds. The firefly connection was appealing to many, but others said there were no fireflies in their area and they would not want to see us limit ourselves to fireflies only. Others stated that not all bugs buzz. It was mentioned that “What’s the BZZZ” would have 1970s connections that kids would not understand. Another comment was that “buzz” could be misinterpreted by teens to suggest getting drunk. However, Minnesota used the theme “What’s Buzzing at your library?” this year. Susan Pannebaker (PA) said that JanWay had recently used a theme with the word “buzz” in it (a tropical jungle with “What’s abuzzin’ at your library?”), and thought we needed to be careful about getting too close to other’s themes. Susan also liked having the word “library” rather than books because libraries are more than just books. Julie Tomlianovich pointed out that many programs are not limited to reading books only. Mary Cameron (IA) made a motion to take the top five choices from this list and do a weighted vote. The motion was seconded by Ruth Metcalf (OH). Ann Simon (NY) said she did not feel we were ready to do a final vote yet, and certainly did not think we should limit ourselves to the top 5 only. Upon vote of the group, the motion failed, and discussion continued. Marquita Boehnke (KS) said that the reason much of this discussion happened before the meeting by email was to eliminate some choices from the six pages of ideas that were suggested, and thereby streamline the discussion at the Annual Meeting. Carol Baughman (KY) made a motion to vote on any theme that got five or more votes online (i.e., the fourteen options listed above), and after the vote, only consider the themes that get five votes or more in the first round. This motion was seconded by Terri Wilhelm (ND). Sue Sherif (AK) asked for a friendly amendment to add the themes that inadvertently got left off the above list, and it was accepted. Martha Shinners (WA) said that some of the themes could be combined in various ways, and a few were so similar as to be different versions of the same thing. Carol Baughman (KY) thought that was right and retracted her motion so that they could be refined first. However, voting continued, and the motion passed 46 to 3. Monica Harris-Brooks (MI) suggested that we combine similar themes before going further. Backyard Safari and Book a Backyard Safari were combined. Bug Out @ your library and Buggin’ Out @ your library were combined. Buggy about Books and Buggy for Books were combined. Additions were: - Bug Me Later, I’m Reading - Bug Off! I’m Reading @ the library The voting instructions were given: Each state was to choose 5 slogans that they wanted to see stay on the list. It would not be a weighted vote, but each state could send one person to mark their state’s top five choices on the list. Results were as follows: Backyard Safari / Book a Backyard Safari - 33 Catch the Reading Bug – 20 All Abuzz About Reading – 13 Inspect Your World – 12 Bug Me Later I’m Reading – 11 Buggy for (or about ) books – 9 Bug (or Buggin’) out @ your library – 9 Good, the Bad & the Buggly – 7 What’s the Bzzz – 7 2 Bug Off, I’m Reading / Don’t Bug Me I’m Reading – 7 Bee a Reader – 5 Get Bitten by the Book Bug – 3 Wings, Stings & Leggy Things – 2 Let the Book Bugs Bite – 1 Make a Beeline… = 1 Top 5 – Backyard Safari / Book a Backyard Safari Catch the Reading Bug All Abuzz about Reading Inspect Your World Bug Me Later, I’m Reading Discussion was briefly interrupted to announce that Sally Snyder (NE) had just been notified that she passed her comprehensive exams for her library degree. She received a large round of applause and congratulations. Julie Tomlianovich gave everyone a few minutes to comment on the theme choices. Jasmine Rousey (SD) said she liked the Backyard Safari theme because it would work with all ages of children and perhaps entice some into the nonfiction section, which can often be overlooked in summer reading programs. She has heard of librarians who highlighted nonfiction and saw their circulation skyrocket. She prefers, however, to see the wording as “Backyard Book Safari.” Ann Simon (NY) agreed that nonfiction will help make it more appealing to boys, who tend to prefer nonfiction to fiction, and she prefers “Backyard Book Safari” as well. Others who liked that theme want to be able to link it to an exploration of recycling, plants, botany, and other related topics. Sue Sherif (AK) thought that the same benefits could be gained with “Inspect Your World” and it would give us an even broader perspective. She liked the idea of bringing in the world aspect. Rhonda Puntney (WI) thought that “Inspect Your World” would be too close to the previous years’ theme “Get a Clue @ your library,” and that would not give enough variety. Rhonda thought Backyard Safari was sufficiently different from what Minnesota used that we were in no danger of echoing their theme. Sally Snyder (NE) disagreed with the idea that Backyard Safari was not a repeat. She felt it was too similar to “Discover New Trails @ your library” which was used in 2004, and the expedition concept had been used. Susan Pannebaker (PA) said that park and backyard are two separate things and Backyard Safari excludes children who don’t have backyards. Patti Sinclair said she liked several of the themes but she did not think Backyard Safari would be a problem for children without backyards. She grew up in Chicago with no backyard, but as a child she would still look at ants on the sidewalk and observe nature in her neighborhood. The illustration could be used to bring in garden bugs, earthworms, etc. As an additional benefit, it might expose those children to new concepts. Ruth Metcalf (OH) made a motion to vote on the top 5, seconded by Karen Drevo (NE). It was clarified that the vote on the motion would be made by the group, but the theme vote would be done as a weighted state vote. Upon vote of the group, the motion passed with some opposed. The first weighted vote yielded the following results: - Catch the Reading Bug (96 votes) - Backyard Safari (87 votes) - Inspect Your World (14 votes) - All Abuzz about Reading (11 votes) 3 The second weighted vote was then conducted on these top 4 choices.

  • Exploring Ghost Worlds: a Review of the Daniel Clowes Reader
    Johnston, P 2013 Exploring Ghost Worlds: A Review of The Daniel Clowes THE COMICS GRID Reader. The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship, 3(1): 7, pp. 1-5, Journal of comics scholarship DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/cg.ag REVIEW Exploring Ghost Worlds: A Review of The Daniel Clowes Reader The Daniel Clowes Reader, Ken Parille, Softcover: 360 pages, Colour and black & white, Fantagraphics, 2013, ISBN: 9781606995891 Paddy Johnston* Daniel Clowes is undoubtedly one of the most influen- tial and prolific cartoonists working today, with a career spanning many decades. The Daniel Clowes Reader (Parille 2013) comes at the perfect time – when interest in Clowes from scholars and critics is at a high, but in which he is still perhaps given less critical attention than his peers Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, and Marjane Satrapi, all of whom are cited twice as often as Clowes despite his large canon of significant works in comics. With recent books being published on Chris Ware by The University Press of Mississippi and the forthcoming Art Spiegelman collec- tion from Drawn and Quarterly, more significant focused, monographic books are emerging in comics and comics criticism, and The Daniel Clowes Reader is a more than wel- come addition to this emergence. Rather than providing an exhaustive chronological ret- rospective, as it would be tempting to do with such a vol- ume, the book is organised into three sections based on distinct areas of discussion which provide thematic arcs: section one explores Girls and Adolescence, focusing on Clowes’ landmark graphic novel Ghost World; section two explores Boys and Post-Adolescence using some of Clowes’ short stories from Eightball; and section three explores the broader and more fluid areas of Comics, Artists and Audiences, including Clowes’ illustrated manifesto, “Mod- ern Cartoonist,” which originally accompanied Eightball #18 as an attached pamphlet in 1997.

  • Woody Harrelson, Daniel Clowes, and Our Favorite Films of Sundance 2017 A.A
    Woody Harrelson, Daniel Clowes, and our favorite films of Sundance 2017 A.A. Dowd Wilson (Photo: Sundance) Can a film be both bitterly, bitingly misanthropic and kind of cuddly? Wilson (Grade: B) gives it a good college try. The film is based on the 2010 graphic novel by Daniel Clowes, who helped adapt some of his earlier works into a pair of big-screen comedies, Ghost World and Art School Confidential. With Wilson, he’s again translated one of his prickly studies of modern alienation to the screen, but without Terry Zwigoff—a kindred spirit of despair and bilious humor—behind the camera. Instead, the project has been helmed by Craig Johnson, director of the recent Sundance favorite The Skeleton Twins, and one can often sense it being pulled in divergent directions, toward the acid wit of its creator and toward something a little more charitable, a little more Fox Searchlight-friendly. An uptick in humaneness, and in palatability, was possibly inevitable; behavior that readers can stomach from a drawing, frozen in ink, might be a tougher sell in flesh-and-blood form. Johnson’s strongest move was securing Woody Harrelson for the title role, an incorrigible windbag who lacks social boundaries, a filter between his mind and motor-mouth, and just about anyone willing to put up with him for longer than a few minutes. Harrelson doesn’t shy away from Wilson’s obnoxiousness—this is a guy who plants himself next to strangers on an empty bus, then berates them when they don’t share his anticonformist worldview—but he does sand down some of his edges, lending an oddly likable quality to his gregarious assholery.

    DRAWN & QUARTERLY SPRING 2016 CHESTER BROWN MARY WEPT OVER THE FEET OF JESUS CHESTER BROWN MARY WEPT OVER THE FEET OF JESUS THE IDIOSYNCRATIC MASTER CHESTER BROWN CONTINUES HIS THOUGHTS ON SEX WORK The iconoclastic and bestselling cartoonist of Paying for It: A Comic- Strip Memoir About Being a John returns with a polemical interpreta- tion of the Bible that will be one of the most controversial and talked- about graphic novels of 2016. Mary Wept over the Feet of Jesus is the retelling in comics form of nine biblical stories that present Chester Brown’s fascinating and startling thesis about biblical representations of prostitution. Brown weaves a connecting line between Bathsheba, Ruth, Rahab, Tamar, Mary of Bethany, and the Virgin Mother and reassesses the Christian moral code by examining the cultural impli- cations of the Bible’s representations of sex work. Mary Wept over the Feet of Jesus is a fitting follow-up to Brown’s sui generis graphic memoir Paying for It, which was reviewed twice in the New York Times and hailed by sex workers for Brown’s advocacy for the decriminalization and normalization of prostitution. Brown approaches the Bible as he did the life of Louis Riel, making these stories compellingly readable and utterly pertinent to a modern audience. In classic Chester Brown fashion, he provides extensive handwritten endnotes that delve into the biblical lore that informs Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus. praise for chester brown “I regard Paying For It, as simply, or not so simply, the most recent in a series of totally

  • FROM the CINEMA SCREEN to the SMARTPHONE: a Study of the Impact of Media Convergence on the Distribution Sector of American Independent Cinema 2006 – 2010
    FROM THE CINEMA SCREEN TO THE SMARTPHONE: A study of the impact of media convergence on the distribution sector of American independent cinema 2006 – 2010 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Hayley Trowbridge. September 2014 (initial submission) April 2015 (final submission) Thesis Number: 20120341 ABSTRACT FROM THE CINEMA SCREEN TO THE SMARTPHONE: A study of the impact of media convergence on the distribution sector of American independent cinema 2006 – 2010 Hayley Trowbridge Film distribution has undoubtedly changed during this contemporary era of media convergence, with a range of innovative practices and methods being adopted across US film and the arrival of new organisations to the industry and distribution sector. This should not suggest that conventional distribution and marketing methods are extinct, or that the traditional gatekeepers of these fields are obsolete. Rather it should indicate a merging of old and new strategies, practices, methods, and organisations, and it is through this fusion of tradition and novelty that today’s complex distribution landscape has emerged. At the forefront of many of these changes has been American independent cinema and as such, the central question posed by this thesis is: how has media convergence impacted on the distribution and marketing of American independent cinema, and how can this impact be understood in terms of wider technological, industrial and sociocultural contexts relevant to the current media landscape? In answering this, this thesis provides a comprehensive re-mapping of the distribution sector of American independent cinema, in terms of the distributors involved and methods and strategies through which films are being released, within this contemporary era of media convergence.
