  • Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich
    1 NICKEL AND DIMED 2 NICKEL AND DIMED Praise for Nickel and Dimed "A brilliant on-the-job report from the dark side of the boom. No one since H. L. Mencken has assailed the smug rhetoric of prosperity with such scalpel-like precision and ferocious wit." - Mike Davis, author of Ecology of Fear "Eloquent ... This book illuminates the invisible army that scrubs floors, waits tables, and straightens the racks at discount stores." - Sandy Block, USA Today "Courageous ... Nickel and Dimed is a superb and frightening look into the lives of hard- working Americans ... policy makers should be forced to read." - Tamara Straus, San Francisco Chronicle "I was absolutely knocked out by Barbara Ehrenreich's remarkable odyssey. She has accomplished what no contemporary writer has even attempted-to be that `nobody' who barely subsists on her essential labors. Not only is it must reading but it's mesmeric. Bravo!" - Studs Terkel, author of Working "Nickel and Dimed opens a window into the daily lives of the invisible workforce that fuels the service economy, and endows the men and women who populate it with the honor that is often lacking on the job. And it forces the reader to realize that all the good- news talk about welfare reform masks a harsher reality." - Katherine Newman, The Washington Post "With grace and wit, Ehrenreich discovers the irony of being `nickel and dimed' during unprecedented prosperity ... Living wages, she elegantly shows, might erase the shame that comes from our dependence `on the underpaid labor of others.'" - Eileen Boris, The Boston Globe "It is not difficult to endorse Nickel and Dimed as a book that everyone who reads-yes, everyone - ought to read, for enjoyment, for consciousness-raising and as a call to action." - Steve Weinberg, Chicago Tribune "Unflinching, superb ..

(Smyth, 1989) Jeremiah (Jerry) John O’Neill Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Maynooth University Department of Adult and Community Education October, 2015 Head of Department: Dr Tony Walsh Supervisor: Dr Bríd Connolly ver. 17 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost a big thanks to the adult educators who gave so willingly of their time to share their experiences and shape their stories with me in this inquiry. Thanks to the friends, colleagues and students who shared the dialogic space with me, at one time or another, over the years – this inquiry grew from the depth and richness of all those relationships and conversations. A particular thanks to all those from the doctoral group at Maynooth, students and staff, who listened and shared so much of their knowledge and helped me to shape my messy knowledge into an equally messy text. Thanks for the clarity of your thought – the mess is all mine. In particular, I would like to thank my supervisor, Bríd Connolly, for her always- generous support, scholarly advice, wisdom and the encouragement to walk off the beaten track with a critical head and open heart.

At 1 o'clock Cléo was ready for her 9 o'clock engagement. She went to the photographer's, where she imposed her ideas of how she should sit, declining all the suggestions that were made to her, refuting all the objections which were made to her, exacting that she should be pictured as she desired. "Her Hair, Her Fingernails and Her Pictures Take Them All. They Delay Everything." —September 1897 newspaper article (New York Public Library clippings file) II. As soon as critics started to heap praise on me, and columnists began to talk about me almost daily, I was invited to pose for the top photographers: Benque, Auguet, Reutlinger, Manuel. When I began to frequent their studios, it was as if, like a sorcerer's apprentice, I had opened floodgates that were impossible to shut. Unscrupulous people copied the best photos, and used them to make an infinite number of postcards.

  • Edvard Munch's Fatal Women
    3*0c EDVARD MUNCH'S FATAL WOMEN: A CRITICAL APPROACH THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Barbara Susan Travitz Bimer, B.A. Denton, Texas December 1985 @1986' BARBARA SUSAN TRAVITZ BIMER All Rights Reserved Bimer, Barbara Susan Travitz, Edvard Munch's Fatal Women: A Critical Approach. Master of Arts (Art History), December, 1985, 487 pp., 109 illustrations, bibliography, 212 titles. This study is the first comprehensive analysis of the fatal woman motif in the writings and art of Edvard Munch from the early 1890s to 1909. It uses a background of the women in the artist's life as well as the literary and artistic worlds in which Munch participated. Following separate ac- counts of Munch's relationships with five women, the manner in which the artist characterizes each as a fatal woman in his writings and art is dis- cussed and analyzed. Next, the study describes the fatal woman motif in late nineteenth century art and literature. It begins with a discussion of the origin of the Symbolist and Decadent Movements and an ideological exam- ination of the fatal woman motif as it is manifested in the writing and art of these two groups. In addition, it compares Munch's visual manifes- tations of the femme fatale with the manner in which the artist's contemporaries depicted her. Finally, this study describes two groups of men with whom Munch was particularly close: the Christiania Boheme and the Schwarzen Ferkel Circle.
