  • Robert Bourdeau
    WENDY EWALD (b. Detroit, USA, 1951) For over forty years Wendy Ewald has collaborated in art projects with children, families, women, and teachers in Labrador, Colombia, India, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Holland, Mexico, and the United States. Starting as documentary investigations of places and communities, Ewald’s projects probe questions of identity and cultural differences. In her work with children she encourages them to use cameras to record themselves, their families, and their communities, and to articulate their fantasies and dreams. Ewald herself often makes photographs within the communities she works with and has the children mark or write on her negatives, thereby challenging the concept of who actually makes an image, who is the photographer, who the subject, who is the observer and who the observed. In blurring the distinction of individual authorship and throwing into doubt the artist’s intentions, power, and identity, Ewald creates opportunities to look at the meaning and use of photographic images in our lives with fresh perceptions. Wendy Ewald has received many honors, including a MacArthur Fellowship, a Guggenheim fellowship, and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, The Andy Warhol Foundation, the Rauschenberg Foundation, and the Fulbright Commission. She was also a senior fellow at the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at the New School from 2000-2002. She has had solo exhibitions at the International Center of Photography in New York, the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, the George Eastman House in Rochester, Nederlands Foto Institute in Rotterdam, the Fotomuseum in Wintherthur, Switzerland, the Corcoran Gallery of American Art, and The Queens Museum among others.

  • God and the Void
    Neocosmicism: God and the Void Ellen Greenham Bachelor of Arts in General Studies Graduate Diploma in Humanities with Honours (English) Master of Arts (English) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2013 Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution ............................................................ Abstract Through the use of selected works by Philip K. Dick, Robert Heinlein, Frank Herbert and H.P. Lovecraft, this thesis explores the question of what it means to be human in the universe when occidental cosmologies no longer align with the universe they seek to describe. Within its view of the universe, H.P. Lovecraft’s philosophy of cosmicism offers the human creature an answer to this question, but in doing so also limits that creature to an isolated life ending in madness or death within an indifferently cold universe. While this thesis seeks to demonstrate the validity of cosmicism as a lens through which to critically interrogate science fiction texts; it more importantly endeavours to address cosmicism’s inherent limitations as a philosophy of the human creature’s place in the universe. This is done by developing neocosmicism as an outgrowth of cosmicism that offers an alternate experience of the universe and a revitalisation of the human creature’s relationship with the universe. By recognising the significant shift in the human creature’s understanding of the universe – from a Cartesian view to a Quantum view within a broader post-modern context – neocosmicism is developed as an interrogative philosophy that provides a framework for opening up a critical space in which to explore alternatives to modernity’s questions rather than offering mere reactions or polarising oppositions.

  • Photography Exhibition ‘This Place’ Will Be Presented by Tang Teaching Museum in Collaboration with Museums at Colgate, Hamilton and Ualbany
    The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College For Immediate Release Photography Exhibition ‘This Place’ will be presented by Tang Teaching Museum in collaboration with museums at Colgate, Hamilton and UAlbany The Tang to feature work by Wendy Ewald, Gilles Peress, Stephen Shore, Nick Waplington that explores Israel and the West Bank SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (December 12, 2017) — The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College is leading a four-campus exhibition of This Place, which features more than 600 images by twelve internationally acclaimed photographers who explore the personal and public spaces in Israel and the West Bank. Opening February 3 through April 22, 2018, the Tang’s presentation will feature work by four of the twelve photographers, who each took different approaches, highlighting how photography can illuminate multiple perspectives on a complex topic: Wendy Ewald, taught and photographed children and adults in fourteen communities in Israel and the West Bank in their homes and villages, collecting tens of thousands of digital images, a selection of which is on display at the Tang Museum; Gilles Peress photographed the Road of Patriarchs from Hebron to Jerusalem and the Palestinian village of Silwan in East Jerusalem, areas he considers to be fault lines in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; Stephen Shore used a his 8 x 10 view camera and a digital camera to photograph landscapes and cityscapes, sacred places, street scenes, and community; and Nick Waplington created a photographic survey of Jewish settlements in the West Bank through both family portraits and images of the natural and built environment.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Stephanie Sandler Ainsley Elizabeth Morse Detki v kletke: The Childlike Aesthetic in Soviet Children’s Literature and Unofficial Poetry Abstract Since its inception in 1918, Soviet children’s literature was acclaimed as innovative and exciting, often in contrast to other official Soviet literary production. Indeed, avant-garde artists worked in this genre for the entire Soviet period, although they had fallen out of official favor by the 1930s. This dissertation explores the relationship between the childlike aesthetic as expressed in Soviet children’s literature, the early Russian avant-garde and later post-war unofficial poetry.

  • Hemicellulose Extraction from South African Eucalyptus Grandis Using Green Liquor and Its Impact on Kraft Pulping Efficiency and Paper Making Properties
    PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE bioresources.com Hemicellulose Extraction from South African Eucalyptus grandis using Green Liquor and its Impact on Kraft Pulping Efficiency and Paper Making Properties Jonas Johakimu* and Jerome Andrew The feasibility of enhancing the efficiency of the kraft pulping operations while at the same time evolving the process into a biorefinery, and thus producing hemicelluloses together with paper products, was studied. Hardwood chips (Eucalyptus grandis) were pre-treated with green liquor prior to pulp production. At optimal pre-treatment conditions, the pH of the resulting extract was 7.8, the wood weight loss was 14%, and the hemicellulose extracted was almost 40 kg/ton of woodchips. In the subsequent kraft pulping, the resulting data revealed that the woodchips from which hemicellulose had been pre-extracted could be pulped much faster than woodchips pulped without hemicellulose extraction. As a result, to maintain the target kappa number, a 20% reduction in pulping chemicals was achievable. Hemicellulose pre-extraction led to a 10% reduction in black liquor solid contents. Moreover, the strength properties of the pulps produced with and without hemicellulose extraction were comparable. Industrial acceptance of this concept, however, still requires a more accurate understanding of the effect of specific mill operating conditions on mill energy balance. Careful economic assessment of the options for handling the calcium carbonate scale problem will also be required before the technology can be considered for implementation.

    WEXLER2 AN ARCHITECT & HIS SON — WORDS LANEE LEE IMAGES COURTESY ERIC STAUDENMAIER PHOTOGRAPHY AND GLEN WEXLER CONTRIBUTING WRITER LANEE LEE QUERIES THE CREATIVE DUO ABOUT PAIRING UP TO BUILD A DREAM LIVE/WORK SPACE. PHOTO: © ERIC STAUDENMAIER PHOTOGRAPHY ICONOCLASTS Creative genius. Where does it come from? For the Wexlers, it runs in the family. Donald Wexler, AKA the almighty mid-century architect of Palm Springs and Glen, his son, the prolific photographer with an eye for other worldly surrealism, collaborated to take on the behemoth task of erecting Glen’s live/work home in the Hollywood Hills. Fabrik Magazine caught up with them for an exclusive look at how the father-son duo realized this spectacular, modern-meets-mid-century dwelling: Fabrik Magazine (FM): Why did you want to remodel your house? Glen Wexler (GW): I wanted to create our dream house with a live/work space. PHOTO: © ERIC STAUDENMAIER PHOTOGRAPHY FM: How did the house remodel idea with your dad’s involvement come about? GW: We looked for years for a live/work space, but found nothing that was right for both work and family, or was affordable. When the adjacent lot was for sale, I asked my dad about adding on to our existing house bought in 1988. He said it would be challenging, but doable. FM: What were some of the challenges you faced? GW: It was an incredibly long, drawn-out process that started in 2000 and lasted roughly eight years until both the addition/remodel were finished. From the original geology report that recommended 40 caissons (probably enough to build a skyscraper!) to a woman on the Mulholland Design Committee who was determined to stop us, and other issues, it was a major ordeal.

  • The Jews of Simferopol
    BE'H The Jews of Simferopol This article is dedicated to two of our grandsons who are now Israeli soldiers: Daniel Prigozin and Yonaton Inegram. Esther (Herschman) Rechtschafner Kibbutz Ein-Zurim 2019 Table of Contents Page Introduction 1 Basic Information about Simferopol 2 Geography 2 History 3 Jewish History 4 The Community 4 The Holocaust 6 After the Holocaust 8 Conclusion 11 Appendices 12 Maps 12 Photos 14 Bibliography 16 Internet 16 Introduction The story of why I decided to write about the history of Simferopol is as follows. As many know, I have written a few articles and organized a few websites1. All of these are in connection to the places in Eastern Europe that my extend family comes from. A short while ago Professor Jerome Shapiro2,who had previously sent me material about his family for my Sveksna website wrote me an email and mentioned that he would like to have an article written about the place where his wife's family comes from: Simferopol, Crimea.
