Acknowledgements The only thing greater than the many obligations I incurred during the research and writing of this work is the pleasure that I take in acknowledging those debts. It would have been impossible for me to undertake, much less complete, this project without the support of the institutions and people who helped me along the way. Archival research is the sine qua non of history; mine was funded by numerous grants supporting work in repositories from California to Massachusetts. A Friends Fellowship from the McNeil Center for Early American Studies supported my first year of research in the Philadelphia archives and also immersed me in the intellectual ferment and camaraderie for which the Center is justly renowned. A Dissertation Fellowship from the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History provided months of support to work in the daunting Manuscript Division of the New York Public Library. The Chandis Securities Fellowship from the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens brought me to San Marino and gave me entrée to an unequaled library of primary and secondary sources, in one of the most beautiful spots on Earth.

  • Notes on the Almanacs of Massachusetts
    1912.] Almmmcs of Massachusetts. 15 NOTES ON THE ALMANACS OF MASSACHUSETTS. BY CHARLES L. NICHOLS The origin of the almanac is wrapped in as much obscurity as that of the science of astronomy upon which its usefulness depends. It is possible, however, to trace some of the steps of its evolution and to note the uses to which it has been applied as that evolution has taken place. « When Fabius, the secretary of Appius Claudius, stole the fasti-sacri or Kalendares of the Roman priest- hood three hundred years before Christ, and exhibited the white tablets on the walls of the Forum, he not only struck a blow for reUgious freedom, but also gave to the people a long coveted source of information. Until that period no fast or holy-day had been pro- claimed except by the decision of the priests, since by their secret methods were made the calculations for those days. From that time the calendar of days has belonged to the people themselves, and has held an important position in the almanac of all nations. When Ptolemy in 150, A. D., prepared his catalogue of stars, and laid the foundation for more exact and con- tinuous records of their movements, the development of the Ephemeris, or daily note-book of the planets' places in our almanacs was assured. The meaning of the "man of signs," which is still so commonly seen, was minutely described by Manil- ius in his Astronomicon, written in the reign of the Emperor Tiberius. Origen and Jamblicus state that the principle underlying this belonged to a much earlier 16 American Aritiquarian Society.

  • In the Polite Eighteenth Century, 1750–1806 A
    AMERICAN SCIENCE AND THE PURSUIT OF “USEFUL KNOWLEDGE” IN THE POLITE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, 1750–1806 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Elizabeth E. Webster Christopher Hamlin, Director Graduate Program in History and Philosophy of Science Notre Dame, Indiana April 2010 © Copyright 2010 Elizabeth E. Webster AMERICAN SCIENCE AND THE PURSUIT OF “USEFUL KNOWLEDGE” IN THE POLITE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, 1750–1806 Abstract by Elizabeth E. Webster In this thesis, I will examine the promotion of science, or “useful knowledge,” in the polite eighteenth century. Historians of England and America have identified the concept of “politeness” as a key component for understanding eighteenth-century culture. At the same time, the term “useful knowledge” is also acknowledged to be a central concept for understanding the development of the early American scientific community. My dissertation looks at how these two ideas, “useful knowledge” and “polite character,” informed each other. I explore the way Americans promoted “useful knowledge” in the formative years between 1775 and 1806 by drawing on and rejecting certain aspects of the ideal of politeness. Particularly, I explore the writings of three central figures in the early years of the American Philosophical Society, David Rittenhouse, Charles Willson Peale, and Benjamin Rush, to see how they variously used the language and ideals of politeness to argue for the promotion of useful knowledge in America. Then I turn to a New Englander, Thomas Green Fessenden, who identified and caricatured a certain type of man of science and satirized the late-eighteenth-century culture of useful knowledge.

  • Bab Ii “Menarikan Sang Liyan” : Feminisme Dalam Industri Musik
    BAB II “MENARIKAN SANG LIYAN”i: FEMINISME DALAM INDUSTRI MUSIK “A feminist approach means taking nothing for granted because the things we take for granted are usually those that were constructed from the most powerful point of view in the culture ...” ~ Gayle Austin ~ Bab II akan menguraikan bagaimana perkembangan feminisme, khususnya dalam industri musik populer yang terepresentasikan oleh media massa. Bab ini mempertimbangkan kriteria historical situatedness untuk mencermati bagaimana feminisme merupakan sebuah realitas kultural yang terbentuk dari berbagai nilai sosial, politik, kultural, ekonomi, etnis, dan gender. Nilai-nilai tersebut dalam prosesnya menghadirkan sebuah realitas feminisme dan menjadikan realitas tersebut tak terpisahkan dengan sejarah yang telah membentuknya. Proses historis ini ikut andil dalam perjalanan feminisme from silence to performance, seperti yang diistilahkan Kroløkke dan Sørensen (2006). Perempuan berjalan dari dalam diam hingga akhirnya ia memiliki kesempatan untuk hadir dalam performa. Namun dalam perjalanan performa ini perempuan membawa serta diri “yang lain” (Liyan) yang telah melekat sejak masa lalu. Salah satu perwujudan performa sang Liyan ini adalah industri musik populer K-Pop yang diperankan oleh perempuan Timur yang secara kultural memiliki persoalan feminisme yang berbeda dengan perempuan Barat. 75 76 K-Pop merupakan perjalanan yang sangat panjang, yang mengisahkan kompleksitas perempuan dalam relasinya dengan musik dan media massa sebagai ruang performa, namun terjebak dalam ideologi kapitalisme. Feminisme diuraikan sebagai sebuah perjalanan “menarikan sang Liyan” (dancing othering), yang memperlihatkan bagaimana identitas the Other (Liyan) yang melekat dalam tubuh perempuan [Timur] ditarikan dalam beragam performa music video (MV) yang dapat dengan mudah diakses melalui situs YouTube. Tarian merupakan sebuah bentuk konsumsi musik dan praktik kultural yang membawa banyak makna tersembunyi mengenai konteks sosial (Wall, 2003:188).

  • In Memoriam Catherine L. Goodwin
    Volume 35 Fall Newsletter October 2011 In Memoriam Catherine L. Goodwin Earlier this year, the Lowell Historical Society lost one its most loyal and influential members, Catherine Goodwin. Although she was involved in countless charitable organizations in Lowell, Chelmsford and Ogunquit (ME), her decades-long tenure as a dedicated and involved board member underscored her love of Lowell history. Her contributions to our organization were many, but the greatest legacy she leaves behind is the research and documentation of so much of the Society's collection. Over the years, Catherine organized and catalogued the Society's paintings. She taught us about 19th and early 20th century artists like Thomas Bailey Lawson and Samuel Howes. She identified portraits in the collection by Ruth and Samuel Shute and made sure their rarity received the national visibility they deserved. She enabled the donation of a 19th century painting of socialite Harriet Rebecca Nesmith and arranged to have it hung, on loan, in the Nesmith House. And, she exposed the collection over the years through countless exhibitions sponsored by the Society or in collaboration with the Lowell Art Association. She loved art and it showed. Her interest in Victorian cemeteries – from an historical and artistic perspective – was piqued when Harry Dinmore, a former Society Treasurer, asked her to use her research skills to host walking tours of the Lowell Cemetery. He recognized, early on, her ability to tell a story and that she did. Her tours became so popular that she translated her presentation into a book, followed later on by a DVD. In true Catherine style, she donated the rights and all proceeds from both to the Lowell Historical Society.

The way in which individuals are exposed to different genres and types of music helps illustrate the extent to which globalization has had an impact on the world. Before the invention of the internet, music was only available for purchase to consumers who went to record stores and physically purchased goods. Now, countless unique songs and genres are readily available with just a single search. Due to how easily consumers can access new music, digital distribution has completely overtaken the profit from selling physical copies of albums. In 2006, record labels still made $9.4 billion from CD sales in the United States, despite the fact that digital distribution entities, such as Napster and iTunes, provided digital copies of the same songs.

  • A Feminist Political Economy of the Korean Popular Music Industry
    A Feminist Political Economy of the Korean Popular Music Industry by Hyejin Jo M.A., Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, 2016 B.A., Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, 2013 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology © Hyejin Jo 2019 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2019 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Hyejin Jo Degree: Master of Arts Title: A Feminist Political Economy of the Korean Popular Music Industry Examining Committee: Chair: Daniel Ahadi Lecturer Dal Yong Jin Senior Supervisor Professor Martin Laba Supervisor Associate Professor Ju Oak Kim External Examiner Assistant Professor Department of Psychology and Communication College of Arts and Sciences at Texas A&M International University Date Defended/Approved: July 12, 2019 ii Abstract Gender disparity is an emerging issue in contemporary South Korea. Despite the significant increase in gendered concerns, there has been a lack of discussion on gender inequality problems in the Korean popular music industry. For this reason, this thesis aims to investigate gender inequalities and power relations embedded in the male-dominated Korean popular music industry by analyzing the texts, images and music of Korean girl groups through the lens of a feminist political economy. In doing so, this study utilizes textual analysis in order to examine how gendered hierarchy and patriarchal power, acting as industrial practices, exploit Korean girl groups in the Korean popular music industry.

  • American Almanacs in the Eighteenth Century
    AMERICAN ALMANACS IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY BY DAVID D. DENKER DAVID D. DENKER, author of this analysis of the cultural 'patterns and ideas to be found in the Library's extensive collection of eighteenth century A men- can almanacsy received his Doctor's degree in American Civilization at Yale and for the fast three years has been director of Yale's special summer course in American Studies for Foreign Students. Since September, içS2> he has been Assistant Professor in American Studies at Rutgers. With the aid of a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship he has been making a study of the his- torical foundations of the United States. His research will be embodied in a book to be called The Role of America in World History. WANT TO STATE frankly that this estimate of American almanacs is fragmentary. The reason for publication is the hope I of influencing scholars to turn their attention to materials that do not come readily to mind as an historical source. Though the Rutgers collection is by no means complete it may serve to turn our attention from barren areas of research to a type of publication that recorded contemporary history and reflected popular sentiment. With this purpose most readers will sympathize. For most of the period I have relied largely on the collection in the library of Rutgers University, one which rivals the best in size, value and importance. Not so strong perhaps in the seventeenth cen- tury issues, the library possesses a fine collection of almanacs prior to and after the Revolution. As a result I have examined a total of 3,902 almanacs, comprising 302 issues before 1800, 1,350 issues between 1800 and 1850 and 2,250 between 1850 and 1949.

The almanac retains some of a coarse paper wrapper -- a small portion of the front and most of the rear. According to Drake, the first almanac was published in Maine in 1787 by Thomas B. Wait. The present almanac is the eighth in the series of almanacs printed by Wait.
