Frank Who was the greater economist—Adam Smith or Charles Darwin? The question seems absurd. Darwin, after all, was a naturalist, not an economist. But Robert Frank, New York Times economics columnist and best-selling author of The Economic Naturalist, predicts that within the next century Darwin will un- seat Smith as the intellectual founder of economics. The reason, Frank argues, is that Darwin’s understanding of competition describes economic reality far more accurately than Smith’s. And the consequences of this fact are profound. Indeed, the failure to recognize that we live in Darwin’s world rather than Smith’s is putting us all at risk by preventing us from seeing that competition alone will not solve our problems. Smith’s theory of the invisible hand, which says that competition channels self-interest for the common good, is probably the most widely cited argument today in favor of unbridled competition—and against regulation, taxation, and even government itself.

  • Merce Cunningham: the Accidental Icon
    Merce Cunningham: The Accidental Icon Jennifer Harris Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Prerequisite for Honors in Art History April 2012 © 2012 Jennifer Harris Acknowledgments Writing this thesis was immensely challenging and would have been impossible without significant help and support along the way. I would never have become interested in Cunningham or in the history of dance, for that matter, without Catie Bell, who introduced me to the writing of Joan Acocella in the context of Plato and Marcus Aurelius. I must also thank Jennifer Homans who generously helped me build the bibliography and understand the complexity of the project in its early stages. Finally, Professor Meredith Martin has been a mentor throughout my time at Wellesley and it is thanks in large part to her encouragement that I have pursued independent work in art history. I feel very fortunate to have benefited from the guidance of two outstanding advisors. I am particularly grateful to Professor Martin Brody for agreeing to advise my project without ever knowing me as a student and for challenging my critical thinking throughout the year. Over the past few years, Professor Patricia Berman has been an inspiration and has helped me cultivate my interest in the intersection between dance and art history. I couldn’t have asked for a more fitting and knowledgeable pair in studying the interdisciplinary work of Merce Cunningham. My research has been supported by a number of generous individuals. In particular, I’d like to thank Brooke Henderson and Jeanne Hablanian at the Wellesley College Art Library, Abigail Sebaley at the Walker Art Center, Alice Helpern at the Merce Cunningham Studio, and the librarians at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts and the University of Arkansas Library’s Special Collections Division.

  • Doctor of Philosophy
    RICE UNIVERSITY By tommy symmes A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Doctor of Philosophy APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE William B Parsons William B Parsons (Apr 21, 2021 11:48 PDT) William Parsons Jeffrey Kripal Jeffrey Kripal (Apr 21, 2021 13:45 CDT) Jeffrey Kripal James Faubion James Faubion (Apr 21, 2021 14:17 CDT) James Faubion HOUSTON, TEXAS April 2021 1 Abstract This dissertation studies dance music events in a field survey of writings, in field work with interviews, and in conversations between material of interest sourced from the writing and interviews. Conversations are arranged around six reading themes: events, ineffability, dancing, the materiality of sound, critique, and darkness. The field survey searches for these themes in histories, sociotheoretical studies, memoirs, musical nonfiction, and zines. The field work searches for these themes at six dance music event series in the Twin Cities: Warehouse 1, Freak Of The Week, House Proud, Techno Tuesday, Communion, and the Headspace Collective. The dissertation learns that conversations that take place at dance music events often reflect and engage with multiple of the same themes as conversations that take place in writings about dance music events. So this dissertation suggests that writings about dance music events would always do well to listen closely to what people at dance music events are already chatting about, because conversations about dance music events are also, often enough, conversations about things besides dance music events as well. 2 Acknowledgments Thanks to my dissertation committee for reading this dissertation and patiently indulging me in conversations about dance music events.

Information worth having… “There’s No Place Like Home.” Judy Garland (Dorothy) The Wizard of Oz Homeward Bound “Whole nations have melted away in our presence like balls of snow before the sun, and have scarcely left their names behind, except as imperfectly recorded by their enemies and destroyers. It was once hoped that your people would not be willing to travel beyond the mountains, so far from the ocean, on which your commerce was carried on, and your connections maintained with the nations of Europe. But now that fallacious hope has vanished; you have passed the mountains and settled upon Tsalagi lands and wish to have your usurpations sanctioned by the confirmation of a treaty. When that should be obtained, the same encroaching spirit will lead you upon other lands of the Tsalagis. Smoke on Rice Knob New cessions will be applied for, and finally the country which the Tsalagis and our forefathers have so long occupied will be called for; and a small remnant of this nation once so great and formidable will be compelled to seek a retreat in some far distant wilderness….” With these words, on March 15, 1775, at the negotiations that became the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals, Tsi’yu Gunsini, quite arguably the greatest Tsalagi war leader of all time, known to history as Dragging Canoe, at the time still a young and unknown warrior, rose to address the 1 assembled council on the second day.

  • May 2017 Silver Threads
    Vol 1 No 11 May 2017 Silver Threads From the Desk of the Director eepers! That’s all that needs to be said. Although there are other unmistakable signs that spring has finally Psprung - flowers blooming, the return of the robins - the unique sound of spring peepers is what screams spring to me. Their high-pitched, loud and piercing call can be deafening when they congregate, but it is a sound that is most welcome and celebrated. Interesting fact: Peepers are very tolerant of cold conditions. Spring peepers can withstand freezing during winter hibernation due to a natural ‘antifreeze’ in their blood. Not all frogs in cold climates bury themselves deeply enough to avoid freezing temperatures in the winter. As temperatures dip below 32 degrees, these frogs start producing their own ‘antifreeze’ to help preserve the most essential organs. Up to 70% of the frog’s body can freeze, to the point that the heart stops pumping and the frog appears to be dead. Scientists still aren’t sure how frozen frogs can wake up again, but once they thaw out and wake up, most frogs will go through a period of healing before they resume their normal lives. Speaking of welcoming, please come in and welcome Katie Petrossi to Team Townsend as our Program Coordinator! As you can see within the following pages, Katie is raring to go and has already made a big impact! We all look forward to getting to know her better and having her as an integral piece of the puzzle that puts together this wonderful center.

  • Collaboration in the Arts: Building Artistic Interdisciplarity at the Liberal Arts College
    AALAC Workshop Funding Proposal Collaboration in the Arts: building artistic interdisciplarity at the Liberal Arts College I am writing on behalf of 15 faculty members from five of the AALAC member colleges (Carleton, Smith, Grinnell, Pomona and Macalester). We have shared ideas and points of discussion regarding the arts, particularly collaborative arts, in a Liberal Arts context, and are hoping for the opportunity to meet to examine these challenges and opportunities in more detail in an AALAC-funded workshop. These 15 faculty represent a broad range of disciplines in the arts, and a broad range of experiences of collaboration, in both academic and professional contexts. We would like to come together for a workshop in the spring of 2013 to share knowledge, ideas, and experiences, with a view to helping shape what collaboration in the arts could or should look like at a liberal arts college. The arts often have a unique place in a smaller college setting, where there are many talented students participating with a fierce commitment and enthusiasm, but where these students might not be looking to pursue their chosen art form(s) professionally. Our own professional lives often take us off-campus, and many of us struggle to find meaningful ways to bring our own research into the classroom as faculty-student collaboration. We feel that a weekend that allows us an in-depth look at these challenges, with time for sharing inspirational and practical perspectives and solutions, would be of great benefit to the faculty participants and, through them, the campuses and communities of the AALAC colleges.
