  • Narrating the Past to (Re)Build the Present of Metropolis: Miami and New York
    The Online Journal of Communication and Media – October 2017 Volume 3, Issue 4 NARRATING THE PAST TO (RE)BUILD THE PRESENT OF METROPOLIS: MIAMI AND NEW YORK Sheyla Moroni Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche e Sociali Università di Firenze [email protected] The analysis of the tax and communication system implemented in the last fifteen years by some administrations of the East coast of the USA (in particular New York and Miami) revealed the centrality of detaxation in favor of products that foresee the targeted use of some urban spaces as sets of TV series (including period dramas). This attempt seems to be in contrast with the natural Californian attractiveness towards TV-film productions (which represent the second industry of the Country), but it is also an investment to mitigate the fear perceived after the 2001 terrorist attacks and, in case of Florida, the fear that - once the "Cuban hazard” is eliminated – the Hispanic community would turn into a criminal and socially exclusion problem. Nonetheless, Florida has blocked this policy as urged by the Koch brothers, just a few months prior to presidential elections and hand-over of the country to the GOP. Therefore, this phase shows a strong contrast not only between globalized metropoles projected towards a transnational model (that was allowing them – before Trump – to govern themselves by referring to other megacities and not to the nationality of their citizens – such to be defined and named “sanctuary cities” – reserving the faculty not to indicate the names of illegal immigrants to authorities) and the declining idea of soft power, in American version (clearly in recession in 2013).

  • J.T.H. Connor and Michael G. Rhode - Shoot Soldiers: Civil War Medical Images, Memory, and Identity in America
    J.T.H. Connor and Michael G. Rhode - Shoot Soldiers: Civil War Medical Images, Memory, and Identity in America Back to Issue 5 Shooting Soldiers: Civil War Medical Images, Memory, and Identity in America by J.T.H. Connor and Michael G. Rhode © 2003 There is on the wall, in the northwest corner of the room, a small gallery of watercolor paintings. Among these is one, the picture of a young man, a mere boy of eighteen or nineteen, resting on a couch... It is a beautiful face, almost perfect in its contour, with hazel eyes and long, wavy, brown hair; but there is such an expression in the eyes and features as tells oh, what a tale! of suffering, long and patiently borne. The left arm is placed under the head, while the fingers of the right clasp the palm-leaf fan with which [he] has been seeking to impart coolness to his fevered cheeks. That pale, youthful face, with the large brown eyes, sank deep into my memory; only one other face have I seen, a painting, also, that possessed for me the same fascinationthat of Guidos Beatrice Cenci.1 [Fig. 1] The unlikely location of Louis Baggers moving experience, recounted in 1873 in Appleton's Journal, was Washington, DCs Fords Theatre, the scene of Lincolns assassination in 1865. Two years later the theatre became home to the Army Medical Museum, where the public could view its array of human anatomical and pathological specimens preserved in glass jars and stored in wooden cases, along with its extensive collection of medical images.2 Founded in 1862 just after the onset of the Civil War, the Army Medical Museum would become the nations premier educational and research institution for the study of military medicine.

Arbus, who lived from 1923 to 1971, is considered by many to be one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. Certainly, her pictures changed the face of American photography forever. What you are about to see is a tribute to Diane: a film that invents characters and situations that reach beyond reality to express what might have been Arbus’s inner experience on her extraordinary path. 2 CREDITS Filmmakers Directed by STEVEN SHAINBERG Written by ERIN CRESSIDA WILSON Inspired by the book “Diane Arbus: A Biography” by PATRICIA BOSWORTH Produced by WILLIAM POHLAD LAURA BICKFORD BONNIE TIMMERMANN ANDREW FIERBERG Executive Producers EDWARD R.
