  • Late Victorian Literature and the Biopolitics of Empire
    Life Expectancies: Late Victorian Literature and the Biopolitics of Empire by Jessica Leigh Davies A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Barbara Spackman, Co-chair Professor Charis Thompson, Co-chair Associate Professor David Bates Assistant Professor Donna Jones Associate Professor Ramona Naddaff Associate Professor Michael Wintroub Spring 2010 © Jessica Leigh Davies, 2010 Abstract Life Expectancies: Late Victorian Literature and the Biopolitics of Empire by Jessica Leigh Davies Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric University of California, Berkeley Professor Barbara Spackman, Co-chair Professor Charis Thompson, Co-chair By the end of the nineteenth century, the rise of evolutionary thinking had produced a radical new understanding of life as the underlying connectedness of all living beings. If only the fittest would survive, the problem was no longer about how to differentiate between species, as it had been for the philosophical tradition since Aristotle, but how to articulate differences within a species. This dissertation analyzes the complex relationship between biology, politics and power that emerged in late Victorian literature. I examine the ways in which biological thinking was never limited to biology itself, nor was it a metaphorical technique used to describe social relations or simply a way to transcribe a political discourse into biological terms. I argue that the difference between biology and politics completely collapsed, and that this indistinguishability functioned to expand and justify British colonialism. Inspired by Michel Foucault’s work on biopower, I demonstrate and expand his theory of nineteenth century biopolitics as a form of power that takes biological life as both its subject and object through a series of regulatory controls leveraged at entire populations.

  • Life Is Pretty Meaningful 1
    Life is Pretty Meaningful 1 (in press). American Psychologist. Life is Pretty Meaningful Samantha J. Heintzelman & Laura A. King University of Missouri, Columbia Life is Pretty Meaningful 2 Abstract The human experience of meaning in life is widely viewed as a cornerstone of well-being and a central human motivation. Self-reports of meaning in life relate to a host of important functional outcomes. Psychologists have portrayed meaning in life as simultaneously chronically lacking in human life as well as playing an important role in survival. Examining the growing literature on meaning in life, we address the question, “How meaningful is life, in general?” We review possible answers from various psychological sources, some of which anticipate that meaning in life should be low, and others high. Summaries of epidemiological data and research using two self-report measures of meaning in life suggest that life is pretty meaningful. Diverse samples rate themselves significantly above the midpoint on self-reports of meaning in life. We suggest that if meaning in life plays a role in adaptation, it must be commonplace, as our analysis suggests. Keywords: meaning in life, well-being, Positive Psychology Life is Pretty Meaningful 3 Life is Pretty Meaningful Considering one’s life to be meaningful is associated with a multitude of very good things. Self- reports of meaning in life are associated with higher quality of life, especially with age (Krause, 2007), superior self-reported health (Steger, Mann, Michels, & Cooper, 2009), and decreased mortality (Boyle, Barnes, Buchman, & Bennett, 2009; Krause, 2009). Meaning in life predicts slower age-related cognitive decline and decreased risk for Alzheimer disease (Boyle, Buchman, Barnes, & Bennett, 2010).

  • Art at Vassar, Spring/Summer 2015
    A publication for the members of The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center Spring/Summer 2 015 FROM THE DIRECTOR Collections and Exhibitions: A Reciprocal Relationship At many museums, including ours, a link is often sought between the permanent collection and the exhibitions that make up the temporary exhibition schedule. In this issue of Art at Vassar we feature two spring exhibitions, Through the Looking Glass: Daguerreotype Masterworks from the Dawn of Photography and Embodying Compassion in Buddhist Art: Image, Pilgrimage, Practice. These exhibitions come on the heels of XL: Large-Scale Paintings from the Permanent Collection. Each exhibition serves as a counterpart, or sometimes even a counterpoint, to the many works in our permanent installation and our rich collection in storage. Until very recently, in spite of having a very creditable photography collection, we had only a couple of daguerreotypes to show our visitors. This paucity of early photography changed with the gift last year of over fifty daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes from Michael Mattis and Judith Hochberg. A more expansive look at the daguerreotype now makes a good deal more sense for us to present. If you think of it in musical terms, the works in the permanent collection are the jazz melody and the exhibition represents the variations on that melodic line. Thus, having a collection made the exhibition more attractive. On the other hand, with Embodying Compassion, we had a different dynamic at work. When Professor Karen Lucic came up with the idea of treating the Bodhisattva of Compassion (Avalokiteshvara in India; Kannon in Japan; Guanyin in China) we had little in the collection to support this specific idea aside from our very fineNachi Pilgrimage Mandala painting.

  • The Political Kiaesthetics of Contemporary Dance:—
    The Political Kinesthetics of Contemporary Dance: Taiwan in Transnational Perspective By Chia-Yi Seetoo A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Miryam Sas, Chair Professor Catherine Cole Professor Sophie Volpp Professor Andrew F. Jones Spring 2013 Copyright 2013 Chia-Yi Seetoo All Rights Reserved Abstract The Political Kinesthetics of Contemporary Dance: Taiwan in Transnational Perspective By Chia-Yi Seetoo University of California, Berkeley Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies Professor Miryam Sas, Chair This dissertation considers dance practices emerging out of post-1980s conditions in Taiwan to theorize how contemporary dance negotiates temporality as a political kinesthetic performance. The dissertation attends to the ways dance kinesthetically responds to and mediates the flows of time, cultural identity, and social and political forces in its transnational movement. Dances negotiate disjunctures in the temporality of modernization as locally experienced and their global geotemporal mapping. The movement of performers and works pushes this simultaneous negotiation to the surface, as the aesthetics of the performances registers the complexity of the forces they are grappling with and their strategies of response. By calling these strategies “political kinesthetic” performance, I wish to highlight how politics, aesthetics, and kinesthetics converge in dance, and to show how political and affective economies operate with and through fully sensate, efforted, laboring bodies. I begin my discussion with the Cursive series performed by the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, whose intersection of dance and cursive-style Chinese calligraphy initiates consideration of the temporal implication of “contemporary” as “contemporaneity” that underlies the simultaneous negotiation of local and transnational concerns.
