  • Camille Paglia's Androgyny Aesthetics
    Camille Paglia’s Androgyny Aesthetics - Why Italian Americans Love the Sopranos Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Camille Paglia’s Androgyny Aesthetics - Why Italian Americans Love the Sopranos Tom Verso (June 15, 2009) “Bourgeois English department feminist promoting cancellation of male concentration and projection cut no ice at the corner garage…on the streets…” - or with Soprano fans. In 1991 Camille Paglia published “Sexual Personae”, which is essentially her Yale dissertation done Page 1 of 7 Camille Paglia’s Androgyny Aesthetics - Why Italian Americans Love the Sopranos Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) under the aegis of the eminent scholar Harold Bloom. The book, in her words: “…surveys literature and art from antiquity to the end of the nineteenth century.” “Sexual Personae”, while not written in the typical academic style, is a scholarly work combining a thesis substantiated with factually documented research. Specifically, her thesis is “to demonstrate the unity and continuity of western culture”, for which she provides voluminous supporting data and interpretations. For example, ‘androgyny’ is one of many features appearing throughout the history of Western art and literature, thereby giving “unity and continuity” to Western culture. Art, Culture & Social Science Paglia is not simply an art historian and commentator. She is a philosopher and social scientist. In the manner of science: based on observable detailed descriptions of art, she makes logical inferences about the culture (social values) of the art producing society. Art forms are not seen solely as aesthetic values. Art is also seen as a manifestation of social values. From observable aesthetic characteristics, inferences are made about the subliminal (non- observable) social values.

  • Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), Spanning the Mountains from Mexico to Canada
    Crater Lake National Park National Park Service Pacific Crest U.S. Department of the Interior Trail What Is the Pacific First came the Appalachian Trail, stretching from Georgia to Maine. Crest Trail? Next came the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), spanning the mountains from Mexico to Canada. Currently, there are fifteen National Scenic Trails, allowing adventuresome explorers to hike over the most beautiful areas of the United States. The idea for a trail on the west coast first came about in the 1 920's, but it was not until 1 972 that all 2,638 miles of the trail were completed and hiked entirely for the first time. "If you have never gazed down on Crater Lake, reform! Visit it for your own good." These were the words of J. Hazard in his 1 946 book describing Pacific Crest Trail. At that time. Crater Lake was the finish­ ing point on the Oregon Skyline trail. Today this 400 mile stretch from Mount Hood to Crater Lake is the oldest section of trail on the Pacific Crest Trail. Crater Lake is just one of seven national parks through which the PCT passes. Each of these parks has its own set of rules governing backcountry users. If possible, obtain a permit for backcountry camping from the Steel Information Center at Park Headquarters. If this is not possible, however, PCT through hikers are granted an exemption from the requirement that all backcountry users must be in possession of a permit. Getting Even Closer PCT hikers have always been able to explore vast areas of volcanic to the Lake landscape in Crater Lake National Park; however, they could get a view of the lake only by leaving the trail and entering the developed Rim Village area.

    CALIFORNIA RECREATIONAL TRAILS PLAN Providing Vision and Direction for California Trails Tahoe Rim Trail Tahoe Rim Trail TahoeTTahhoe RRiRimm TrailTTrail Complete Progress Report 2011 California State Parks Planning Division Statewide Trails Section www.parks.ca.gov/trails/trailsplan Message from the Director Th e ability to exercise and enjoy nature in the outdoors is critical to the physical and mental health of California’s population. Trails and greenways provide the facilities for these activities. Our surveys of Californian’s recreational use patterns over the years have shown that our variety of trails, from narrow back-country trails to spacious paved multi-use facilities, provide experiences that attract more users than any other recreational facility in California. Th e increasing population and desire for trails are increasing pressures on the agencies charged with their planning, maintenance and management. As leaders in the planning and management of all types of trail systems, California State Parks is committed to assisting the state’s recreation providers by complying with its legislative mandate of recording the progress of the California Recreational Trails Plan. During the preparation of this progress report, input was received through surveys, two California Recreational Trails Committee public meetings and a session at the 2011 California Trails and Greenways Conference. Preparation of this progress Above: Director Ruth Coleman report included extensive research into the current status of the 27 California Trail Corridors, determining which of these corridors need administrative, funding or planning assistance. Research and public input regarding the Plan’s twelve Goals and their associated Action Guidelines have identifi ed both encouraging progress and areas where more attention is needed.
