This exceptionalist perspective dates from 1630, when John Winthrop declared, “We shall be as a city upon a hill,” envisioning the nascent Bay Colony as “A Model of Christian Charity.” Later generations found the vitality of our “frontier spirit” singularly American, and it was our specialness that justified the far from charitable doctrine of “Manifest Destiny,” a rationale for the imperialistic adventures of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including our occupation of Haiti from 1915 to 1934. Academic interest in exceptionalism flourished only with the end of World War II. The GI Bill democratized teaching and learning. Our universities threw off the weight of European cultural history and began to introduce more American subject matter into their curricula. Mining the past to create a distinctly American narrative, American exceptionalism, they cobbled together a set of ideas that undergirded national particularity. the sense of a special destiny, We responded to the need to rebuild Europe, not just materially, with the Marshall Plan, but—in the aftermath of fascism and the is embedded in the fiber horrors of the Holocaust—intellectually as well. We sought to of our national identity. share the American experience and American values, presenting ourselves as a beacon, a nation tasked to spread democratic values across the globe. From the Marshall Plan and USAID to the Peace Corps, this perception has been the driver for some of the great things we have accomplished—and for some of the most ill- considered. What began as a desire to do good too often became an excuse for the exercise of power. Fully attentive to the Manichean character of American exceptionalism, President Obama has nonetheless recuperated its rhetoric. We’ve witnessed its return in his campaign and inaugural speeches, in his State of the Union addresses, and in his press conferences. More materially, we recognize its force in the return of U.S. marines to Haiti—this time, for a very different purpose. Yet, in a larger sense, exceptionalism has never left us. The sense of a special destiny, predicated on moral commitment, is, for better or worse, embedded in the fiber of our national identity. William P.

Its forests were home to bears, wolves, songbirds, and salamanders, with clear, clean waters alive with fish—and a mountain lion was treed on the Upper West Side!” Sanderson said. Central Park’s original topography included wetlands, streams, and Lake Mannahatta.

A feature on the Mannahatta Project’s Web site provides information and images of any specific Manhattan location in 1609. On the Graduate Center site were a hilly oak and hickory forest, a stream, and wildlife ranging from beavers to black bears. Sanderson’s team also concluded that the Lenape probably fished and duck hunted in this immediate area. Though the Mannahatta Project offers a spell- binding glimpse into Manhattan’s past, Sanderson explained that it is “not merely an academic flight of fancy.” Its mission is to stimulate awareness of remaining wild places, explore ways to make cities more livable, and discover methods to restore some of the ecological processes lost to New York City, “the ecosystem that never sleeps.” The lecture was cosponsored by the Gotham Center and the Center for Urban Research’s CUNY Mapping Service project.

Thanks to his writerly skills, Kristofferson's hang-dog tales of screwups, hangovers, regret and redemption had the epochal feel of novellas, and without him, there would probably be no Steve Earle, Sturgill Simpson or similar country hippies.

Featuring an introduction from McGraw and an epilogue by the songwriter Lori McKenna, Humble and Kind is a deeply affecting call to action, and the perfect memento for millions of graduates, parents, and children across the continent. Berry was a Muddy Waters fan who quickly learned the power of his own boundary-crossing "songs of novelties and feelings of fun and frolic" when he transformed a country song, "Ida Red," into his first single, "Maybellene," a Top Five pop hit. That said, there are at least two layers to this book that offer greater depth for those who are willing to look for it.

  • Patti Smith, Polar Music Prize Laureate 2011 Patti Smith, Born In
    Patti Smith, Polar Music Prize Laureate 2011 Patti Smith, born in Chicago in 1946, the oldest of four siblings, was raised in South Jersey. From an early age she gravitated toward the arts and human rights issues. She studied at Glassboro State Teachers College and migrated to New York City in 1967. She teamed up with art student Robert Mapplethorpe and the two encouraged each other’s work process, both of them pursuing painting and drawing and she poetry. In February 1971 Smith performed her first public reading at St. Mark’s Church on the lower eastside, accompanied by Lenny Kaye on guitar. In April of the same year she co-wrote and performed the play Cowboy Mouth with playwright Sam Shepard. Continuing to write and perform her poetry, in 1974 Smith and Lenny Kaye added Richard Sohl on piano. As a trio they played regularly around New York, including the legendary Max’s Kansas City, centering on their collective and varied musical roots and her improvised poetry. The independent single release, Hey Joe/Piss Factory, featured Tom Verlaine. Along with the highly innovative and influential group Television, the trio helped to open up a restricted music scene that centered at CBGBs in New York City. After recruiting guitarist Ivan Kral, they played CBGBs for eight weeks in the Spring of 1975 and then added drummer Jay Dee Daugherty. Smith described their work as “three chords merged with the power of the word.” Smith was signed by Clive Davis to his fledgling Arista label and recorded four albums: Horses (produced by John Cale), Radio Ethiopia (produced by Jack Douglas), Easter (produced by Jimmy Iovine), which included her top twenty hit Because the Night, co-written with Bruce Springsteen, and Wave (produced by Todd Rundgren).

  • Pasolini According to Patti Smith ISSN 1824-5226 D
    Le Simplegadi ISSN 1824-5226 Vol. XVIII-No. 20 November 2020 DOI: 10.17456/SIMPLE-160 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Giulio Carlo Pantalei Because the Poet: Pasolini According to Patti Smith Abstract I: The transdisciplinary dialogue, the rebellious attitude, and the sublimation of dissidence by experimenting new forms as an act of hope are the key features of the relationship between Pier Paolo Pasolini and Patti Smith, who saluted the Italian writer as one of her greatest teachers throughout her entire career, along with Blake, Rimbaud and the Beats. From the poetry of Babel to the lyrics of Easter, passing through the photographic series Pasolini es vie, the eclectic American artist has never ceased to appraise the literary works and movies of this author as a constant source of inspiration, creating a bond that became very important to the audience but was never properly explored by the critics. In terms of reception, one should not forget that this original relationship also led many (especially outside Italy) to discover the figure of Pasolini. This article seeks to investigate Patti Smith’s Pasolini and the works that influenced her most, revealing through an intertextual and interdiscursive approach how the poet contributed to shape the imaginary and spiritual vision of one among the most important lyrical voices in the world today. Abstract II: Il dialogo interdisciplinare, l’attitudine ribelle e la sublimazione della dissi- denza attraverso la sperimentazione di nuove forme come atto di speranza sono i nodi cruciali del rapporto tra Pier Paolo Pasolini e Patti Smith, che ha sempre considerato lo scrittore italiano tra i suoi più grandi maestri lungo tutta la sua carriera, accanto a Blake, Rimbaud e la Beat Generation.

I know I am not just a fashion photogra - pher. And Patti Smith is certainly not just a rock icon. She is much more. For me, this movie is about discovering who Patti Smith is. This process of discovery has taken place over the course of 11 in - credible years of filming. I can’t believe it, but a quarter of my life has been spent framing her in my lens. And through this film, I want to channel that experience to the audience. It all happened so organically. I was just interested in her and in get - ting to know her as a person. As our friendship blossomed over a decade, and as I got to know her, my lens was getting to know her as well. Patti is a constant reminder to me that there’s an urgency in the world. everyone sits back in his or her comfort zone. No one goes to record stores and researches new artists anymore. So few people are out there knocking down the walls. Nowadays, everything is presented to us in an easily digestible format, accessible with the click of a button. The world we live in almost doesn’t seem real. I grew up with the top hits mTV fed me.

  • The Virtual Community Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier
    The Virtual Community Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier by Howard Rheingold ADDISON-WESLEY PUBLISHING COMPANY Reading, MA Copyright © 1993 by Howard Rheingold "When you think of a title for a book, you are forced to think of something short and evocative, like, well, 'The Virtual Community,' even though a more accurate title might be: 'People who use computers to communicate, form friendships that sometimes form the basis of communities, but you have to be careful to not mistake the tool for the task and think that just writing words on a screen is the same thing as real community.'" – HLR We know the rules of community; we know the healing effect of community in terms of individual lives. If we could somehow find a way across the bridge of our knowledge, would not these same rules have a healing effect upon our world? We human beings have often been referred to as social animals. But we are not yet community creatures. We are impelled to relate with each other for our survival. But we do not yet relate with the inclusivity, realism, self-awareness, vulnerability, commitment, openness, freedom, equality, and love of genuine community. It is clearly no longer enough to be simply social animals, babbling together at cocktail parties and brawling with each other in business and over boundaries. It is our task--our essential, central, crucial task--to transform ourselves from mere social creatures into community creatures. It is the only way that human evolution will be able to proceed. M. Scott Peck The Different Drum: Community-Making
