Dorothea Lange 1934
Dorothea Lange 1934 Documentary photographer Dorothea Lange (1895–1965) is best known for her work during the 1930s with Roosevelt's Farm Security Administration (FSA). Born in New Jersey, Lange studied photography at Columbia University, then moved to San Francisco in 1919 earning a living as a successful portrait photographer. In 1935 in the midst of the Great Depression, Lange brought her large-format Graflex camera out of the studio and onto the streets. Her photos of the homeless and unemployed in San Francisco's breadlines, labor demonstrations, and soup kitchens led to a job with the FSA. From 1935 to 1939, Lange's arresting FSA images—drawing upon her strength as a portrait photographer—brought the plight of the nation's poor and forgotten peoples, especially sharecroppers, displaced families, and migrant workers, into the public eye. Her image "Migrant Mother" is arguably the best-known documentary photograph of the 20th century and has become a symbol of resilience in the face of adversity. Lange's reports from the field included not just photographs, but the words of the people with whom she'd spoken, quoted directly. "Somethin' is radical White Angel Breadline, 1933 wrong," one told her; another said, "I don't believe the President (Roosevelt) knows what's happening to us here." Lange also included her own observations. "They have built homes here out of nothing," she wrote, referring to the cardboard and plywood "Okievilles" scattered throughout California's Central Valley. "They have planted trees and flowers. These flimsy shacks represent many a last stand to maintain self-respect." At the age of seven Lange contracted polio, which left her right leg and foot noticeably weakened. -
Graphic Novels: Enticing Teenagers Into the Library
School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts Department of Information Studies Graphic Novels: Enticing Teenagers into the Library Clare Snowball This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University of Technology March 2011 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: _____________________________ Date: _________________________________ Page i Abstract This thesis investigates the inclusion of graphic novels in library collections and whether the format encourages teenagers to use libraries and read in their free time. Graphic novels are bound paperback or hardcover works in comic-book form and cover the full range of fiction genres, manga (Japanese comics), and also nonfiction. Teenagers are believed to read less in their free time than their younger counterparts. The importance of recreational reading necessitates methods to encourage teenagers to enjoy reading and undertake the pastime. Graphic novels have been discussed as a popular format among teenagers. As with reading, library use among teenagers declines as they age from childhood. The combination of graphic novel collections in school and public libraries may be a solution to both these dilemmas. Teenagers’ views were explored through focus groups to determine their attitudes toward reading, libraries and their use of libraries; their opinions on reading for school, including reading for English classes and gathering information for school assignments; and their liking for different reading materials, including graphic novels. -
Human Erosion in California (Migrant Mother), Dorothea Lange Human
J. Paul Getty Museum Education Department Exploring Photographs Information and Questions for Teaching Human Erosion in California (Migrant Mother), Dorothea Lange Human Erosion in California (Migrant Mother) Dorothea Lange American, Nipomo, California, 1936 Gelatin silver print 13 7/16 x 10 9/16 in. 98.XM.162 “I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother . She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed.” —Dorothea Lange Dorothea Lange's poignant image of a mother and her children on the brink of starvation is as moving today as when it first appeared in 1936. Lange took five pictures of this striking woman, who lived in a makeshift shelter with her husband and seven children in a Nipomo, California, pea-picker's camp. Within twenty-four hours of making the photographs, Lange presented them to an editor at the San Francisco News, who alerted the federal government to the migrants' plight. The newspaper then printed two of Lange's images with a report that the government was rushing in 20,000 pounds of food, to rescue the workers. Lange made this photograph while working for the Resettlement Administration, a government agency dedicated to documenting the devastating effects of the Depression during the 1930s. Her image depicts the hardship endured by migratory farm workers and provides evidence of the compelling power of photographs to move people to action. About the Artist Dorothea Lange (American, 1895–1965) "One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind. -

Jwarthmore Intercollegiate Athletics 1972 a Different Hall Game?
Jwarthmore Intercollegiate Athletics 1972 A different hall game? Swarthmore Intercollegiate Athletics'72 A//) 'f<3 "fa //9 ^ Is it winning or how you play the game that counts? “The Cultural Revolution has penetrated the last stronghold of the American myth— the locker room. Young athletes, having scaled new levels of consciousness, now challenge a long-standing article of faith— the belief that competition has intrinsic value. They enter sports in search of particular esthetic experience, essentially personal in nature. They no longer accept the authoritarian structure of sports, nor do they accept the supreme emphasis on winning.” —Bruce C. Ogilvie and Thomas A. Tutko, Psychology Today, October, 1971 No one uses the word “ revolution” to describe intercollegiate athletics at Swarthmore today. But everybody— coaches, athletes, interested faculty and administrators— agrees they are different. “Our locker room became revolutionary a long time ago,” says Professor Thomas Blackburn, familiar with Swarthmore athletics for some ten years. “What is most different 1 Swarthmore Intercollegiate Athletics ’72 today,” he says, “ is that you find few people who are 4 Today's Athletes Tell Why willing to sit out a couple of years on the second team. They Play the Game People who don’t play tend to quit.” 13 The Coaches Speak Out The change may not be sudden, radical, or complete— 17 Women's Liberation in the Locker Room adjectives Webster allies with revolution—but it is 21 Women’s Coaches Say Philosophies Differ noticeable and at times uncomfortable for all involved. 24 The College It is most evident in the team sports, where the popular 28 Class Notes do-your-own-thing philosophy clashes with the necessity for cooperation and discipline.
