  • Jazzy and Kaleidoscopic, Like Fall Leaves, with Personalities to Match
    For the friends of the Independent Cat Society, a no-kill cat shelter Fall 2011, # 134 Jazzy and kaleidoscopic, like fall leaves, with personalities to match... othing says “cozy” quite like the sight of a charming calico cat curled up in a Ncomfy ball of color. Colorful and delightful, calico cats are beloved by cat lovers everywhere. Like torties and tabbies, calicos are not a breed but rather a color pattern, created by the combination of white, black, and orange. In the case of calicos, the whole is most definitely greater than the sum of the parts! The name “calico” comes from a cloth first imported to Britain from India in the 17th century. Calico fabric was and still is brightly colored and distinctively patterned just like the cats. In Japan, tri-colored cats are called mi-ke, meaning “triple fur,” and in Holland they are called lapjeskat, which is Dutch for “patches.” It should come as no surprise that the two most common names for a calico cat are “Callie” and “Patches,” but there are other names inspired by their coat that may suit one of these multi- hued beauties, such as Autumn, Calista, Dottie, Jewel, Kalie (as in “kaleidoscope,”) Rainbow, or Sunset, and many more. Our own Paulette Gonzalez has made a science out of naming calicos, coming up with some of the most outrageous names, like Fiesta, Confetti, Maddie and Sophie (a dilute calico) are ICS alumni, and great examples Spumoni, and Salsa! Regardless of what you of calico beauty, as well as sisterly love! choose to call your own example of living color, she still may or may not come when you call her.

  • “What Would an Athenian Have Thought of the Day's Play?”: C.L.R. James's Early Cricket Writings for the Manchester Guard
    “What would an Athenian have thought of the day’s play?”: C.L.R. James’s early cricket writings for The Manchester Guardian Christian Høgsbjerg* University College London Institute of the Americas, UK *Email: [email protected] In April 1933 the young Trinidadian writer C.L.R. James started work alongside the famous critic Neville Cardus as a cricket correspondent for The Manchester Guardian, writing nearly 140 brief reports for the newspaper over the next three seasons. Cardus’s appointment of a newly-arrived British colonial subject like James to such a prestigious post remains quite remarkable. James’s job meant he travelled widely for the first time across England reporting on county clashes, and he began to develop his distinctive philosophy on the game. This article offers the first critical excavation of James’s cricket writing in these early years and thereby examines the future author of Beyond a Boundary’s first engagement with “English cricket” as a popular dimension of imperial metropolitan culture. It argues that James’s political radicalization towards militant anti-colonialist and anti-capitalist activism in Britain during this critical period found expression in his cricket writing. Keywords: C.L.R. James; Beyond a Boundary; Cricket; the Caribbean; Neville Cardus; The Manchester Guardian. In April 1933 the young black Trinidadian writer C.L.R. James started work alongside Neville Cardus as a cricket correspondent for The Manchester Guardian. According to Paul Buhle (1993), James’s authorized biographer, this made James “the first West Indian, the first man of colour, to serve as cricket reporter for the Guardian” (42), and indeed possibly the first black professional sports reporter in British history.

  • HÀNWÉN and TAIWANESE SUBJECTIVITIES: a GENEALOGY of LANGUAGE POLICIES in TAIWAN, 1895-1945 by Hsuan-Yi Huang a DISSERTATION S
    HÀNWÉN AND TAIWANESE SUBJECTIVITIES: A GENEALOGY OF LANGUAGE POLICIES IN TAIWAN, 1895-1945 By Hsuan-Yi Huang A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Curriculum, Teaching, and Educational Policy—Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT HÀNWÉN AND TAIWANESE SUBJECTIVITIES: A GENEALOGY OF LANGUAGE POLICIES IN TAIWAN, 1895-1945 By Hsuan-Yi Huang This historical dissertation is a pedagogical project. In a critical and genealogical approach, inspired by Foucault’s genealogy and effective history and the new culture history of Sol Cohen and Hayden White, I hope pedagogically to raise awareness of the effect of history on shaping who we are and how we think about our self. I conceptualize such an historical approach as effective history as pedagogy, in which the purpose of history is to critically generate the pedagogical effects of history. This dissertation is a genealogical analysis of Taiwanese subjectivities under Japanese rule. Foucault’s theory of subjectivity, constituted by the four parts, substance of subjectivity, mode of subjectification, regimen of subjective practice, and telos of subjectification, served as a conceptual basis for my analysis of Taiwanese practices of the self-formation of a subject. Focusing on language policies in three historical events: the New Culture Movement in the 1920s, the Taiwanese Xiāngtǔ Literature Movement in the early 1930s, and the Japanization Movement during Wartime in 1937-1945, I analyzed discourses circulating within each event, particularly the possibilities/impossibilities created and shaped by discourses for Taiwanese subjectification practices. I illustrate discursive and subjectification practices that further shaped particular Taiwanese subjectivities in a particular event.

  • Britain in the World 1860–Now
    yale center for british art Britain in the World 1860–now Second-floor galleries Rebecca Salter, born 1955, British K37 1996, mixed media on canvas The work of Rebecca Salter draws on a variety of artistic styles, media, and cultural traditions. Her distinctive approach was shaped primarily by the six years she spent in Kyoto, Japan, in the early 1980s, where she studied ceramics. She returned to her native London with a commitment to two-dimensional art and a particular interest in Japanese printmaking techniques and the subtle textures and surfaces of Japanese papers. In the late 1980s, however, she also began to make regular visits to the Lake District in northern England, taking inspiration from the austere landscape and ever-shifting weather conditions. Working within a tight tonal range and rarely letting one part of the canvas speak louder than any other, Salter’s paintings are nonetheless quietly compelling: a suitable match for the architecture of Louis Kahn (designer of the Yale Center for British Art), in whose memory this painting was purchased. Friends of British Art Fund and Gift of Jules David Prown, MAH 1971, in memory of Louis I. Kahn, B2011.8 Sandra Blow, 1925–2006, British Red Circle 1960, mixed media on board Sandra Blow emerged in the 1950s as one of the most innovative figures in British abstract art. Blow built her reputation as an independent and pioneering force despite making and keeping a loose connection to the modernists at St. Ives, especially Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, and Patrick Heron. Red Circle’s vivid band of color encircling concentric black rings on a monochrome field exemplifies her bold abstraction, which nevertheless references the natural world and organic forms.

During the 1970’s she lived in New York City, and was active with the music scene. She was a bit of a musician and writer herself. According to a 1991 Texas Monthly article, she started following Willie Nelson in the early 1970’s helping wherever she could. When he purchased the Pedernales Country Club in 1979, she was hired on as his personal secretary. Her job was to schedule studio time for Willie and his musician friends, assist Lana Nelson with charitable work, and generally assist in managing the property. She also had a small part in his movie, Red-Headed Stranger, which was filmed on the property. When Willie Nelson began the Farm Aid movement, Jody took calls coming in from famers and their families, and is often quoted as being a compassionate listener. She was very close to the extended Nelson family, as well as involved in diverse causes such as Farm Aid and Native American civil rights.

  • Oxford by the Numbers: What Are the Odds That the Earl of Oxford Could Have Written Shakespeare’S Poems and Plays?
    OXFORD BY THE NUMBERS: WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT THE EARL OF OXFORD COULD HAVE WRITTEN SHAKESPEARE’S POEMS AND PLAYS? WARD E.Y. ELLIOTT AND ROBERT J. VALENZA* Alan Nelson and Steven May, the two leading Oxford documents scholars in the world, have shown that, although many documents connect William Shakspere of Stratford to Shakespeare’s poems and plays, no documents make a similar connection for Oxford. The documents, they say, support Shakespeare, not Oxford. Our internal- evidence stylometric tests provide no support for Oxford. In terms of quantifiable stylistic attributes, Oxford’s verse and Shakespeare’s verse are light years apart. The odds that either could have written the other’s work are much lower than the odds of getting hit by lightning. Several of Shakespeare’s stylistic habits did change during his writing lifetime and continued to change years after Oxford’s death. Oxfordian efforts to fix this problem by conjecturally re-dating the plays twelve years earlier have not helped his case. The re-datings are likewise ill- documented or undocumented, and even if they were substantiated, they would only make Oxford’s stylistic mismatches with early Shakespeare more glaring. Some Oxfordians now concede that Oxford differs from Shakespeare but argue that the differences are developmental, like those between a caterpillar and a butterfly. This argument is neither documented nor plausible. It asks us to believe, without supporting evidence, that at age forty-three, Oxford abruptly changed seven to nine of his previously constant writing habits to match those of Shakespeare and then froze all but four habits again into Shakespeare’s likeness for the rest of his writing days.
