It assesses the impact of Russian technological Modernism, especially Constructivism, in the United States, chiefly in New York where it was disseminated, mimicked, and redefined. It is based on the paradox that Americans travelling to Europe and Russia on cultural pilgrimages to escape America were greeted with ‘Amerikanismus’ and ‘Amerikanizm’, where America represented the vanguard of technological modernity.

    Novel Addiction: Consuming Popular Novels in Eighteenth-century Britain by Jayoung Min Department of English Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Charlotte Sussman, Supervisor ___________________________ Srinivas Aravamudan ___________________________ Nancy Armstrong ___________________________ Kathy Psomiades Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English in the Graduate School of Duke University 2011 ABSTRACT Novel Addiction: Consuming Popular Novels in Eighteenth-century Britain by Jayoung Min Department of English Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Charlotte Sussman, Supervisor ___________________________ Srinivas Aravamudan ___________________________ Nancy Armstrong ___________________________ Kathy Psomiades An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English in the Graduate School of Duke University 2011 Copyright by Jayoung Min 2011 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the ways in which British popular novels of the eighteenth century functioned as commodities. “Novel Addiction”, the title of this dissertation has a double meaning: Addiction was a new conceptual framework developed during the eighteenth century in order to manage the increasing anxiety brought upon the culture of consumption, and the novel, one of the most popular commodities of the same period, was addictive. Both as successful commodities and efficient cultural agents, popular novels that were categorized as the sentimental or the gothic participated in the process of creating and disseminating models of addiction that warranted perpetual discipline. However, this discipline does not aim at preventing or eliminating addiction. It rather manages addiction as “habit” in a way that guarantees proliferation of the market economy.

  • A History of Veganism from 1806
    1 World Veganism – past, present, and future By John Davis, former IVU Manager and Historian A collection of blogs © John Davis 2010-12 Introduction This PDF e-book is about 8mb, 219 pages A4, (equivalent to 438 page paperback book), so I strongly recommend that you save a copy to your own disk, then open it in the Adobe Acrobat Reader. That way, you won’t have to download it all again if you want to read more of it sometime later. Creating this as a PDF e-book has several advantages, especially if you are reading this on a device connected to the internet. For example: - in the blog about interviews on SMTV, just click on the links to watch the videos - in the bibliography click to read a complete scan of an original very old book. - on the contents page click a link to go direct to any item, then click ‘back to top’. - you can also, of course, use other features such as search, zoom etc. etc. - a great advance on printed books… It should work on any device, though an ipad/tablet is ideal for this as there are lots of big colour photos, or on smart-phones try rotating for best results, on a larger computer monitor try view/page display/two up, to read it like a book. The blogs were posted weekly from February 2010 to December 2012 and each is self- contained, with the assumption that readers might not have seen any of the others. So feel free to start anywhere, and read them in any order, no need to read from the beginning.

  • Paradise in a Breakfast Bowl: Albert Webster Edgerly and The
    1 Paradise in a Breakfast Bowl Albert Webster Edgerly and the Gospel of Glame John Benedict Buescher Imagine a man struggling for years in obscurity—suddenly finding himself popular, dominating, successful! Imagine yourself suddenly discovering a strange, new power that enables you to attract new friends, new achievements! Picture everyone’s amazement if you unexpectedly changed your entire personality, banished self- consciousness and became instead a vibrant, fascinating, magnetic person! A thrilling experience! Yet it can be yours—and I’ll prove it.1 But first, eat your cereal. Try Instant Ralston. It will make a New Man out of you. So saith Dr. Ralston. Pre-processed, dry breakfast cereal was invented by American health reformers who wished to create a food that was convenient, healthy, and tasty, but who also believed that such a food would regenerate mankind in a spiritual sense. They wished to remake Man into a “New Man,” to reunite the human spirit and body, and to bring humans back to the original state in which they lived in the Garden of Eden. This is one of the keys to understanding the health and food reforms in nineteenth- century America. Some of the deepest roots of health food reform are ultimately traceable back to the Hermetic Revival of the Renaissance, with its vision of a spiritual and moral regeneration of Man through a deliberately induced physical process of inner alchemy and a close attention to the Doctrine of Signatures. Those roots certainly can be thereby traced through the speculations and experimental efforts of German Pietists influenced by the mystical writings of Jacob Boehme, and reinforced by the Gnostic sensibility animating the Calvinist search for evidences of divine election scattered about in the fallen world of matter.
