This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/hp_theses/211 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Protecting Postmodern Historicism: Identification, vE aluation, and Prescriptions for Preeminent Sites Abstract Just as architectural history traditionally takes the form of a march of styles, so too do preservationists repeatedly campaign to save seminal works of an architectural manner several decades after its period of prominence. This is currently happening with New Brutalism and given its age and current unpopularity will likely soon befall postmodern historicism. In hopes of preventing the loss of any of the manner’s preeminent works, this study provides professionals with a framework for evaluating the significance of postmodern historicist designs in relation to one another. Through this, the limited resources required for large-scale preservation campaigns can be correctly dedicated to the most emblematic sites. Three case studies demonstrate the application of these criteria and an extended look at recent preservation campaigns provides lessons in how to best proactively preserve unpopular sites.

  • Supplément Spécial N° 10 / Juillet 2014
    /10 Supplément spécial n° 10 / Juillet 2014 La qualité, ou plutôt l’ineptie de la plupart des films français qui se sont succédé depuis le début de l’année serait-elle proportionnelle à la débâcle critique qui ne cesse de prendre de l’ampleur ? Constat un tantinet exagéré mais une certaine tendance au nivellement par le très très bas s’opère pourtant. Ce n’est pas nouveau que la parole critique concernant le cinéma soit si peu affutée sur le service public, notre consœur L’ouvreuse s’était essayée en 2009 à une immersion intensive d’une semaine dans l’enfer du PAF côté émissions de ciné. Depuis, pas grand chose n’a changé, certaines émissions ont disparu mais globalement une véritable réflexion critique se fait toujours aussi rare. Bien sûr, le net propose une alternative réjouissante car parmi les nombreux sites et blogs se contentant de régurgiter ce que les attachés de presse leur adressent, sont apparus des espaces d’expression tenus par des passionnés livrant leurs réflexions avec une certaine verve et acuité, mais généralement ces sites ne sont pas les mieux référencés ou les plus visités. La quasi absence de développement critique accessible au plus grand nombre est en soi l’illustration de l’échec du service public à formaliser des interstices où pourraient s’épanouir débat et/ou questionnements sur des œuvres présentes ou passées. Si possible quelque chose de plus consistant que la navrante émission « Le Cercle » présentée par Beigbeider où Philippe Rouyer a bien du mal à élever le niveau à lui tout seul..

    “IT REVEALS WHO I REALLY AM”: NEW METAPHORS, SYMBOLS, AND MOTIFS IN REPRESENTATIONS OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN POPULAR CULTURE By Summer Joy O’Neal A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Angela Hague, Chair Dr. David Lavery Dr. Robert Petersen Copyright © 2013 Summer Joy O’Neal ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There simply is not enough thanks to thank my family, my faithful parents, T. Brian and Pamela O’Neal, and my understanding sisters, Auburn and Taffeta, for their lifelong support; without their love, belief in my strengths, patience with my struggles, and encouragement, I would not be in this position today. I am forever grateful to my wonderful director, Dr. Angela Hague, whose commitment to this project went above and beyond what I deserved to expect. To the rest of my committee, Dr. David Lavery and Dr. Robert Petersen, for their seasoned advice and willingness to participate, I am also indebted. Beyond these, I would like to recognize some “unofficial” members of my committee, including Dr. Elyce Helford, Dr. Alicia Broderick, Ari Ne’eman, Chris Foss, and Melanie Yergau, who graciously offered me necessary guidance and insightful advice for this project, particularly in the field of Disability Studies. Yet most of all, Ephesians 3.20-21. iii ABSTRACT Autism has been sensationalized by the media because of the disorder’s purported prevalence: Diagnoses of this condition that was traditionally considered to be quite rare have radically increased in recent years, and an analogous fascination with autism has emerged in the field of popular culture.

    Donald “Don” Haslup Adams 954-816-0168 [email protected] Memories I cherish from Ohio Wesleyan Best opportunity for a fine education in a friendly social setting with many chances to experiment in extra-curricular activities (theater, WSLN, Boy Scout troop 93 thanks to Abbie Seamans' Sociology Course), etc. How Ohio Wesleyan influenced my life I appreciate the value of a liberal arts education that affects so much more than just a way to make a living. Became aware of Student Affairs as a career field. Professor I will always remember and why Harry Bahrick, for teaching a good work ethic and excellent teaching skills and a long- term friendship. Oh yes, and an amazing memory! Professor Robert Marshall, who upon realizing that my non-appearance at the Poetry class Final Exam was out of character for me, phoned his friend, the house mother at the Beta House to see if I was all right. One of the brothers woke me up and in record time I was in the classroom and allowed to finish the exam. He was a scholar, a caring man and a class act. Where I have traveled and places I would like to see Because of my second career as a Tour Operator and Director, I was able to travel to approximately 90 countries, visit all the states and provinces and to spend time living in Australia, South America and several European countries. Still on the list are China, Bangkok, Iceland and a return to Vietnam under somewhat different conditions. I've been fortunate enough to have had homes in over ten states and six foreign countries.
