  • The Electrical Transformation of the Public Sphere: Home Video, the Family, and the Limits of Privacy in the Digital Age
    THE ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE PUBLIC SPHERE: HOME VIDEO, THE FAMILY, AND THE LIMITS OF PRIVACY IN THE DIGITAL AGE By Adam Capitanio A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY American Studies 2012 ABSTRACT THE ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE PUBLIC SPHERE: HOME VIDEO, THE FAMILY, AND THE LIMITS OF PRIVACY IN THE DIGITAL AGE By Adam Capitanio One of the constituent features of the digital age has been the redrawing of the line between private and public. Millions of social media users willingly discuss intimate behavior and post private photographs and videos on the internet. Meanwhile, state and corporate bodies routinely violate individual privacy in the name of security and sophisticated marketing techniques. While these occurrences represent something new and different, they are unsurprising given the history of home and amateur media. In this dissertation, I argue that contemporary shifts in the nature of the public/private divide have historical roots in the aesthetics and style found in home movies and videos. In other words, long before Facebook and YouTube enabled users to publicly document their private lives, home movies and videos generated patterns of representation that were already shifting the unstable constitution of the “private” and the “public” spheres. Using critical theory and archival research, I demonstrate how home moviemakers represented their families and experiences in communal and liminal spaces, expanding the meaning of “home.” When video become the predominant medium for domestic usage, home mode artifacts became imbricated with television, granting them a form of phantasmagoric publicity that found fulfillment in the digital era.

Major Cultural Commemorations and the Construction of National Identity in the GDR 1959-1983 Abstract My thesis asks whether cultural commemorations helped the GDR to build a distinct national identity, and examines the role of political and cultural actors involved in them. Covering different strands of German cultural heritage, the aims, implementations and outcomes of anniversary commemorations are investigated as a longitudinal series of case-studies: Schiller (1959); Kollwitz (1967); Beethoven (1970); and Luther (1983). Substantial evidence from largely unpublished sources exposes recurring gaps between the theory and practice of these commemorations, essentially attributable to manifest examples of agency by commemoration stakeholders. Each commemoration produced some positive legacies. But driven mainly by demarcation motives versus West Germany, the appropriation of these German cultural icons as socialist role-models to promote national identity was mostly unsuccessful in three commemorations.

  • Altare Contra Altare. Dysputa O Kształcie Ołtarza I O Jego Wystroju W Epoce Nowożytnej
    Piotr Krasny Instytut Historii Sztuki, Uniwersytet Jagielloński http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2084-851X.05.02 Altare contra altare. Dysputa o kształcie ołtarza i o jego wystroju w epoce nowożytnej edna świątynia nie może być wznoszona przeciwko drugiej, ani jeden ołtarz przeciwko drugiemu, ponieważ mamy jedną świątynię, jedną „J arkę, jeden ołtarz […] tak jak mamy jednego Chrystusa, w którym objawił się Bóg i w którym Go odnajdujemy ” – głosił Marcin Luter (1483-1546) w komentarzu do Psalmu 132, opublikowanym w roku 15301. Słowa te nie przysta- wały jednak do rzeczywistości, którą reformator ów w znacznym stopniu wykreował. Podzieleni w wierze uczniowie Chrystusa, w wśród nich także sam Luter, obmyślali bowiem w owym czasie różne koncepcje świątyń i ołtarzy, zamierzając stawiać je właśnie jedne przeciwko drugim. Za pomocą programów ideowych i form owych struktur próbowano bardzo często bronić elementów doktryny swojej konfesji, od- rzucanych przez inne wyznania, a nieraz także – postponować doktrynę oponentów2. Nowożytna teoria sztuki sakralnej – tak jak nowożytna teologia – była formułowana 1 LUTHER 1819, s. 403. 2 Zob. np.: SCAVIZZI 1982; SCAVIZZI 1992. TECHNE TEXNH 12 SERIA NOWA w atmosferze kontrowersji, toteż w jej opisie trudno poprzestać na prezentacji jed- nego stanowiska, ale należy raczej prezentować ją jako zderzenia różnych koncepcji3. Taka metoda badawcza jest – jak sądzę – najwłaściwsza dla studiów nad reflek- sją o ołtarzu chrześcijańskim, rozwijaną w XVI i XVII wieku. Mogłoby się co praw- da wydawać, że na obszarach, na których – tak jak w Polsce – zachowały się niemal wyłącznie ołtarze służące tylko jednej konfesji, można by poprzestać na zgłębianiu teorii, formowanej na użytek tego wyznania. Trzeba jednak pamiętać, że niemal wszystkie europejskie państwa były w początkach epoki nowożytnej podzielone wyznaniowo.

This is the month that will mark the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation. What does that mean to you? What does it mean to celebrate the Reformation? For some it is a celebration of heritage. For many the celebration of the Reformation is a matter of ethnic heritage. German Lutherans identify with the reality that Martin Luther was a German. My own grandfather was German, he immigrated legally to the United States when he was a teenager. Since the time I was raised in a German Lutheran family, I once thought that Lutheranism is primarily a German celebration. Many here at Trinity come from a similar German Lutheran background. However, Lutheranism is much larger than a German celebration. Inside this issue For many Lutheranism is a matter of pure doctrine and correct teachings in the church.
