  • Closure of the Kodak Plant in Rochester, United States Lessons from Industrial Transitions

    Closure of the Kodak Plant in Rochester, United States Lessons from Industrial Transitions

    Closure of the Kodak plant in Rochester, United States Lessons from industrial transitions SEI brief Key insights: June 2021 • Rochester went through a decades-long process of industrial transition as the Eastman Kodak Company, a photography technology company, cut more than 80% of its jobs from Aaron Atteridge its height in the 1980s to its bankruptcy in 2012. Claudia Strambo • Rochester emerged from the transition with a more diverse economy, and with higher levels of employment. Key to this positive outcome was the city’s use of the existing infrastructure and skill set to reorient the regional economy and enable the development of new tech companies. • Universities and major cultural institutions supported the transition by attracting research funding and companies seeking high-skilled workers, and by collaborating with the private sector to develop training programs that matched the skills companies needed. • Even as the economy has grown, however, the city centre has suffered from population loss and urban decay. Acute inequalities remain: new employment opportunities mainly benefitted high-skill workers, and the quality of jobs, in terms of wages and security, has decreased. • In an industrial transition, it is important to implement measures to specifically address poverty and marginalization, and to ensure broader economic diversification, as well as use a broad set of indicators when assessing the effectiveness of transition policies. This case study examines the decline and ultimately closure of the Kodak plant in Rochester, New York, United States. It is part of a series that looks at four historical cases involving the decline of major industrial or mining activities.

    American Heritage Center

    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

The World met the 'Man of Bronze' in a novel titled The Man of Bronze (#001), March 1933. "Doc Savage" was created by Street&Smith’s Henry W. Ralston -- with help from editor John L. Nanovic -- in order to capitalize on the surprise success of "The Shadow" magazine. It was Lester Dent, though, who crafted the character into the superman that he became. Dent -- who wrote most of the adventures -- described his hero Clark “Doc” Savage Jr. as a cross between “Sherlock Holmes with his deducting ability, Tarzan of the Apes with his towering physique and muscular ability, Craig Kennedy with his scientific knowledge, and Abraham Lincoln with his Christ-liness.” Through 181 novels, the fight against Evil was on.

    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School CERTIFICATE FOR APPROVING THE DISSERTATION We hereby approve the Dissertation Of Jay T. Dolmage Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Director Dr. Cindy Lewiecki-Wilson Reader Dr. Kate Ronald Reader Dr. Morris Young Reader Dr. James Cherney Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT METIS: DISABILITY, RHETORIC AND AVAILABLE MEANS by Jay Dolmage In this dissertation I argue for a critical re-investigation of several connected rhetorical traditions, and then for the re-articulation of theories of composition pedagogy in order to more fully recognize the importance of embodied differences. Metis is the rhetorical art of cunning, the use of embodied strategies—what Certeau calls everyday arts—to transform rhetorical situations. In a world of chance and change, metis is what allows us to craft available means for persuasion. Building on the work of Detienne and Vernant, and Certeau, I argue that metis is a way to recognize that all rhetoric is embodied. I show that embodiment is a feeling for difference, and always references norms of gender, race, sexuality, class, citizenship. Developing the concept of metis I show how embodiment forms and transforms in reference to norms of ability, the constraints and enablements of our bodied knowing. I exercise my own metis as I re-tell the mythical stories of Hephaestus and Metis, and re- examine the dialogues of Plato, Aristotle, Cicero and Quintillian. I weave through the images of embodiment trafficked in phenomenological philosophy, and I apply my own models to the teaching of writing as an embodied practice, forging new tools for learning. I strategically interrogate the ways that academic spaces circumscribe roles for bodies/minds, and critique the discipline of composition’s investment in the erection of boundaries.
