These numbers, while impressive, are not unprecedented: our membership has been 2,000+ strong for nearly a decade. Most of our members would agree, however, that it’s a conference full of such welcoming and genuine people that it never feels too large. The ways in which our members’ professional alliances span continents, years, and disciplines is somewhat of a hallmark of our character. What is unprecedented is the striking solidarity of our NeMLA community, who have overwhelmingly honored our tradition of gathering in a year beset by fear, social distancing, and grief: emotions that by all accounts should arrest our capacity for reflection. Instead, NeMLA’s members, in numbers that are both profound and heartening, have committed to showing up, supporting one another, and embracing our work as humanists and teachers. The humanities has yet a crucial role to play in our culture and in our communities, and I am so thankful to be a part of an organization that gathers so many who care, so very much, about the world and the lives of those in it. From the Executive Board, all of our Board members, the Executive Director, myself, all of the NeMLA graduate staff, thank you, NeMLA, for showing up for our 2021 Virtual Convention! Our convention theme has been a generative one: “Tradition and Innovation: Changing Worlds Through the Humanities” has spoken to our lives as readers, as teachers, as parents, as neighbors, and as human beings. We’ve navigated a changing world with dramatic demands for innovation. We’ve seen that these radical, necessary innovations are most satisfying when we manage to affirm traditions, connections, and social responsibilities. Change is something we both wield and endure: voices demanding change roared into the center of our national discourse to insist that Black lives do and must matter, while a quick survey of our conference presentation titles reveals a staggering but inexorable fight to thrive has ignited a collective torch. Your work during the pandemic continues to light the way for others in myriad ways, and this virtual Conference feels so much more vital and necessary for its role in helping amplify that work. We are delighted to host, for our Thursday opening address, Professor Jed Esty, author of Unseasonable Youth: Modernism, Colonialism, and the Fiction of Development and Vartan Gregorian Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania. Our Friday keynote event will be given by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jennifer Egan, whose novel Manhattan Beach is the chosen text for our annual NeMLA Reads Together program. I want to thank Jed Esty, Jennifer Egan, and all of our special events speakers, who have graciously demonstrated the most incredible flexibility and cheerful optimism as we’ve worked to stage their talks from afar. 4 NeMLA is always indebted to the spirited and generous contributions of its many volunteers, sponsors, and organizers, and I want to applaud and thank them here. Our host institution, the University of Buffalo, provides us with crucial staffing, organizational, and administrative support. Our local host institution, the University of Pennsylvania and the Romance Languages Department at UPenn, have contributed the time and efforts of their notable scholars, local graduate student assistance, and branding and promotional support in spreading the word about our great conference. The executive Board, comprised of Past President Carole Salmon, First Vice President Bernadette Wegenstein, and Second Vice President Joseph Valente, have faced unique and challenging work in keeping our organization operational and successful in a year shaped by setbacks and unforeseen vulnerabilities. And our Board of Directors have worked diligently to promote an agenda representative of the diverse commitments our members to redefine, chronicle, create, celebrate, and rejuvenate our work as scholars, activists, teachers, healers, and bridge-builders. The most unsung hero of NeMLA is its Executive Director, Carine Mardorossian — not because we do not daily sing her praises, but because no praise could adequately regale a director who devotes countless hours, unremitting dedication, and such a singular focus toward our organization’s well-being as does Carine. Without her service, this conference wouldn’t have been, and her unflagging efforts are all the more visible in a year such as this. Ashley Byczkowski, Derek McGrath, and Claire Sommers, and a talented team of graduate fellows, offer key support to the many initiatives and programs administered by the organization — thank you, all of you, for your generosity and professional contributions. I will close my convention letter by noting that this is a unique and historical moment in our organization’s existence: a year ago, in bustling and beautiful Boston, I never could have imagined my conference theme of tradition, innovation, and changing worlds would meet its culmination in such a poignant, heartwarming state: with a virtual NeMLA conference that is as large — larger even — than any other convention year. Thank all of you for being part of this moment, and for bringing our vibrant, collegial community online together with such enthusiasm and goodwill. Whether this is your first virtual conference, or your tenth, our virtual conference is possible because the friends and colleagues we call NeMLA continue to show up. For NeMLA newcomers, I wish you the warmest possible welcome, and invite you to this of us simply as friends you haven’t yet met. To the inaugural membership of the first-ever virtual NeMLA convention, we thank you for embarking on this virtual adventure with us! I wish you a healthy and rewarding 2021, a relaxing, fun-filled convention, and most of all, I look forward to seeing all of you, IN PERSON, in Baltimore in 2022! See you online, Brandi So President of NeMLA New York Institute of Technology 5 February 2021 Dear NeMLA Members and Colleagues, On behalf of the University at Buffalo,N eMLA’s administrative host institution since 2013, I would like to personally welcome each of you to the 52nd Annual, and first ever virtual Convention of the Northeast Modern Language Association. This year’s theme, “Tradition and Innovation: Changing Worlds Through the Humanities,” is fitting in a year where nearly every aspect of our daily lives has been altered. Last March, with the swift shift to remote instruction, the University at Buffalo, like our peer institutions, discovered

  • Beginnings and Endings in Films, Film and Film Studies
    Beginnings and Endings in Films, Film and Film Studies Beginnings and Endings in Films, Film and Film Studies, University of Warwick, 13th June 2008 A report by Martin Zeller, University of York, UK This conference, organised by Tom Hughes and James MacDowell (both of University of Warwick), examined the beginnings and endings of individual films and structures of beginnings and endings in films more generally, as well as notions of beginning and ending in film studies as a discipline. With such a wide remit it is not surprising that links between the various presentations were sometimes difficult to establish. However, the wide variety of approaches to the topic ensured lively discussions. The tone for the day was set by the keynote paper delivered by Warwick's own V. F. Perkins. Examining beginnings and endings in the genre of 'multi-story' (or portmanteau) movies, Perkins elucidated the various methods used to make the author the focus of these multi-stranded narratives. Drawing on the literary cachet of their source texts, Quartet, Full House and Le Plaisir make Maugham, O. Henry and Maupassant the respective loci around which their stories revolve. Pointing out that authorial intrusions were, with the exception of Le Plaisir, used only at the beginnings of such films, Perkins suggested the possibility of a largely unexplored narrative technique available in returning to the author at the close of a film. However, it was Professor Perkin's call for, 'an aesthetics of the quite good, of the satisfactorily effective, as well as the extremes: the abject and the sublime,' that seemed to resonate most with the delegates and to become a touchstone for the day's later discussions.

  • Batman Miniature Game Teams
    TEAMS IN Gotham MAY 2020 v1.2 Teams represent an exciting new addition to the Batman Miniature Game, and are a way of creating themed crews that represent the more famous (and infamous) groups of heroes and villains in the DC universe. Teams are custom crews that are created using their own rules instead of those found in the Configuring Your Crew section of the Batman Miniature Game rulebook. In addition, Teams have some unique special rules, like exclusive Strategies, Equipment or characters to hire. CONFIGURING A TEAM First, you must choose which team you wish to create. On the following pages, you will find rules for several new teams: the Suicide Squad, Bat-Family, The Society, and Team Arrow. Models from a team often don’t have a particular affiliation, or don’t seem to have affiliations that work with other members, but don’t worry! The following guidelines, combined with the list of playable characters in appropriate Recruitment Tables, will make it clear which models you may include in your custom crew. Once you have chosen your team, use the following rules to configure it: • You must select a model to be the Team’s Boss. This model doesn’t need to have the Leader or Sidekick Rank – s/he can also be a Free Agent. See your team’s Recruitment Table for the full list of characters who can be recruited as your team’s Boss. • Who is the Boss in a Team? 1. If there is a model with Boss? Always present, they MUST be the Boss, regardless of a rank.

  • Digital Article on Ancient Future History
    ncient future history A 30 Years of World Fusion Music: 1979-2009 Origins Ancient Future was formed in late 1978 by students at the Ali Akbar College of Music in San Rafael, California, including Mindia Klein, Matthew Montfort, Benjy Wertheimer, and Phil Fong. Its origins, however, go back to 1967. Two of the founding members, Matthew Montfort and Benjy Wertheimer, were childhood friends in Boulder, Colorado, who dreamed of forming a band together. By his senior year of high school, Montfort was playing guitar professionally in several local bands. Meanwhile, Wertheimer had gravitated to percussion and Indian tabla drums in particular. A friend of Wertheimer's introduced Montfort to a record by the Diga Rhythm Band, which featured North Indian tabla master Zakir Benjy Wertheimer, Phil Fong, Mindia Klein, Matthew Montfort Hussain and his students along with Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart and guitarist Jerry Garcia. Montfort was fascinated by Indian rhythms, and decided to integrate them into his jazz/rock/classical fusion music. In the summer of 1977 Wertheimer and Montfort came to San Rafael to study North Indian classical music at the Ali Akbar College of Music. There they met the members of the Diga Rhythm Band, moved into the house that the group rehearsed in, and formed an offshoot called Greenhouse Intergalactic, which included Diga Rhythm Band members Tor Dietrichson (who later signed with Global Pacific Records), Jim Loveless, Ray Spiegel, and Arshad Syed (who joined Ancient Future's touring lineup in 1993). Greenhouse Intergalactic rehearsed at the Grateful Dead studio and performed a number of concerts before splitting up into two groups: a Latin band called Sun Orchestra, and the world fusion music group Ancient Future.

    The Educated Spectator: Cinema and Pedagogy in France, 1909-1930 Casiana Elena Ionita Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Casiana Elena Ionita All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Educated Spectator: Cinema and Pedagogy in France, 1909-1930 Casiana Elena Ionita This dissertation draws on a wide range of sources (including motion pictures, film journals, and essays) in order to analyze the debate over the social and aesthetic role of cinema that took place in France from 1909 to 1930. During this period, as the new medium became the most popular form of entertainment, moralists of all political persuasions began to worry that cinematic representations of illicit acts could provoke social unrest. In response, four groups usually considered antagonistic — republicans, Catholics, Communists, and the first film avant- garde known as the Impressionists — set out to redefine cinema by focusing particularly on shaping film viewers. To do so, these movements adopted similar strategies: they organized lectures and film clubs, published a variety of periodicals, commissioned films for specific causes, and screened commercial motion pictures deemed compatible with their goals. Tracing the history of such projects, I argue that they insisted on educating spectators both through and about cinema. Indeed, each movement sought to teach spectators of all backgrounds how to understand the new medium of cinema while also supporting specific films with particular aesthetic and political goals. Despite their different interests, the Impressionists, republicans, Catholics, and Communists all aimed to create communities of viewers that would learn a certain way of decoding motion pictures.

STRATEGIES OF NARRATIVE DISCLOSURE IN THE RHETORIC OF ANTI-CORPORATE CAMPAIGNS by RICHARD ALEXANDER HERDER Under the Direction of Dr. Michael Bruner ABSTRACT In the years following World War II social activists learned to refine rhetorical techniques for gaining the attention of the new global mass media and developed anti-corporate campaigns to convince some of the world’s largest companies to concede to their demands. Despite these developments, rhetorical critics have tended to overlook anti-corporate campaigns as objects of study in their own right. One can account for the remarkable success of anti-corporate campaigns by understanding how activists have practiced prospective narrative disclosure, a calculated rhetorical wager that, through the public circulation of stories and texts disclosing problematic practices and answerable decision makers, activists can influence the policies and practices of prominent corporations. In support of this thesis, I provide case studies of two anti-corporate campaigns: the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union vs.
