  • The Ginger, the Pin-Up, Or the Stepchild? Redheadedness As An
    THE GINGER, THE PIN-UP, OR THE STEPCHILD? REDHEADEDNESS AS AN EMBODIED TROPE By Morgan Lee Thornburg A Project Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in English: Applied English Studies Dr. Michael Eldridge, Advisor Dr. Janet Winston, Second Reader Dr. Janet Winston, Program Graduate Coordinator December 2020 ABSTRACT THE GINGER, THE PIN-UP, OR THE STEPCHILD? REDHEADEDNESS AS AN EMBODIED TROPE Morgan Lee Thornburg The study of redheadedness has been largely neglected in the academic community and beyond. Besides a few outdated psychology studies, pop culture books, a handful of student theses, and one dissertation, there has been little investigation regarding how the tropes associated with redheadedness—namely, weakness and unattractiveness in men and unruliness and hypersexuality in women—become embodied. This project considers the way that such tropes are internalized in a variety of “texts”: Scott P. Harris’s documentary, Being Ginger; Marion Roach’s and Jacky Colliss Harvey’s personal narratives; and Tim Minchin’s song (and performance of) “Prejudice,” together with an interview he gave for The Guardian. Using Krista Ratcliffe’s method of rhetorical listening, I reveal the ways that these texts identify and disidentify with redheadedness. Despite the authors’ awareness of redhead-related stereotypes, these texts continue to perpetuate many of those same stereotypes in subtle and complex ways. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT .......................................................................................................................

  • Gaspard Dughet: Some Problems in the Connoisseurship of Chalk Drawings
    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: GASPARD DUGHET: SOME PROBLEMS IN THE CONNOISSEURSHIP OF CHALK DRAWINGS Sarah Beth Cantor, Master of Arts, 2005 Thesis directed by: Professor Anthony Colantuono Department of Art History and Archaeology Little scholarship has been devoted to the graphic oeuvre of Gaspard Dughet (1615-1675), a prominent landscape painter of the seventeenth century. A number of drawings in red and black chalk have been attributed to Dughet based on their connection to documented paintings. Stylistic comparisons with other examples of Dughet’s work as a draughtsman and technical evidence including medium and watermarks, however, reveal that a group of drawings given to the artist are, in fact, copies done in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. Although Dughet’s contributions are under appreciated today, his work influenced the next generation of landscape artists in Italy and abroad, including the British and many Dutch and Flemish artists who traveled to Italy. This thesis examines not only Dughet’s chalk drawings, but the graphic work of his most well-known Northern followers to determine which artist may have executed these copies.

    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2015 Streaming Broadcasters Relieved By Royalty Break. Radio broadcasters who stream online will pay about one-third less in music royalties to SoundExchange starting in January, thanks to new rates issued by the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) late Wednesday. The new rate for commercial nonsubscription services, both broadcast and pureplay, in 2016 is $0.0017 per performance. That’s a substantial reduction from the $.0025 that most broadcast streamers had been paying but a 21% increase from the $.0014 that pureplay webcasters have been shelling out. Setting the same streaming rate for pureplays and broadcasters marks a new meet-in-the-middle rationalization in the market. The new rate for commercial subscription services in 2016 is $0.0022 per performance, down from $0.0025. Unlike the previous rate-setting, there is no annual step up in royalties. However, the CRB has, for the first time, built in a cost- of-living provision for the period 2017 through 2020 that will adjust the rate annually to reflect any increases or decreases in the Consumer Price Index. But there’s no so- called percentage override, which would have replaced the per-performance rate with a percentage of revenue payment when a webcaster reached a certain revenue threshold. “That’s one of the things that SoundExchange had asked for and broadcasters in particular had said would be very difficult to administer,” attorney David Oxenford tells Inside Radio. Hourly Waging—non-comm channels have their own new rate tied in to Aggregate Tuning Hours; read more at InsideRadio.com.

    Community Advisory Committee Applications Report March 10, 2020 In the interest of transparency, this report includes verbatim application responses from Community Advisory Committee applicants received by the February 18, 2020 application deadline. 1 | March 10, 2020 Community Advisory Committee Applications Report Aaron Brown Interest: I am applying to represent an organizational interest Affiliation (if any): No More Freeways Organization represented (if any): Neighborhood interest: Primary interest: Urban design Secondary interest: Modes of transportation: Automobile Please tell us why you are interested in participating on this Community Advisory Committee. I am applying to sit on this Community Advisory Committee because, frankly, I'm morbidly curious to find out just how seriously ODOT is committed to public engagement, transparency, and community collaboration as the agency seeks to move forward on this billion dollar megaproject. I have spent approximately ten hours a week (and often times much, much more) for the past three and a half years tracking this proposed freeway expansion and supplementing ODOT's outreach to make sure local neighbors, climate justice advocates, parents and educational leaders, air quality and public health experts, and transportation activists were made aware of the exact discrepancies between the agency's flashy PR about the project and the decades of academic and empirical research. As one of the rabblerousers of No More Freeways, our organization has answered the calling to make sure that actual, independent community voices concerned about climate change, air pollution, traffic congestion, traffic safety, and bicycle/pedestrian/transit infrastructural improvements actually had a chance to proactively shape this mammoth infrastructure project that current and future generations of Oregonians will live with for the rest of their lives.
