Intersecting Axes: Narrative and Culture in Versions of the Lizzie Borden Story (A Performative Approach)
No full textThis thesis examines versions of the story of 32-year-old New Englander Lizzie Andrew Borden, famously accused of axe-murdering her stepmother Abby and father Andrew in 1892. Informed by narrative and feminist theories, INTERSECTING AXES draws upon interdisciplinary, contemporary re-workings of Judith Butler’s concept of “performativity” to explore the ways in which versions of the Lizzie Borden story negotiate such themes as repetition and difference, freedom and constraint, revision and reprisal, contingency and determinism, the specific and the universal. The project emphasizes and embraces the paradoxical sense in which interpretations are both enabled and constrained by the contextual situation of the interpreter and analyzes the relationship between individual versions and the cultural constructs they enact while purporting to describe.
Moving away from symptomatic reading and its psychoanalytic underpinnings to focus upon the interpretive frames by which our understandings of Lizzie Borden versions (and of narrative/cultural texts more broadly) are shaped, this project exposes the complex performative processes whereby meaning is created. The chapters of this thesis offer contextual readings of a short story by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, a ballet by Agnes de Mille, a made-for-television by Paul Wendkos, and a short story by Angela Carter to argue for the theoretical, political, narratological, cultural, and interpretive benefits of approaching the relationship between texts and contexts through a uniquely contemporary concept of performativity, bringing a valuable new perspective to current debates about the intersection of narrative and culture

Front of House
No full textFront of House is the most expanded manifestation of the dialogue between the artists Angela Ferreira and Narelle Jubelin and their intersecting conversations with the architect Marcos Corrales and writer and curator Andrew Renton. The four participants have worked with each other in varying combinations for over fifteen years – building a complex conversation, a shared critical discourse, a richly layered series of historical and cultural references – Front of House is the first meeting place where they have been able to express their ideas
collectively.
At the heart of the exhibition is a conscious desire to foreground an uncommon process of collective exhibition-making that leads to a continuous reconfiguring of projects in their spatial relationship and resolution in the gallery. The exhibition’s dialogic mode takes its cue from independent yet related practices, with every new work finding a connection to previous projects. There is never a singular work that comes out of nowhere.
In conjunction with Front of House, there is a screening of a documentary film by Manthia Diawara. Focusing on the journeys made by Jean Prouvé’s Maison Tropicale, Diawara’s film observes Ferreira as she revisits the sites where this modernist icon was previously installed

Andrew Gilham Interview, 2008
No full textAndrew Gilham, lifelong Cleveland resident, talks about growing up in the Cedar/Central and Glenville neighborhoods. Topics include the vibrant communities of the 1930\u27s and 40\u27s, changes in racial makeup of population, and the presence of Jewish and African-American owned businesses. Gilham also relates the importance of public transportation, and the shift to automobile use. He talks briefly about the destruction of property during the Hough and Glenville riots, and the reasons for the riots, and the benefits to the neighborhoods from the expansion of Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University

Frame delay and loss analysis for video transmission over time-correlated 802.11A/G channels
No full textThis paper presents simulation results for the transmission of unicast MAC frames over 802.11a/g. Fading channel models at various Doppler frequencies are developed to generate time- correlated SNR waveforms. These are then used together with a bit accurate MAC/PHY simulator to estimate the frame loss rate, the transmission delay, and the jitter for a steady flow of transmit frames. Time correlated channels are required to correctly simulate the bursty nature of packet loss in a wireless channel. The Doppler spread is shown to have a strong effect on the performance of the ARQ mechanism in the MAC layer. Delay is computed as the sum of the transmission delay and the accumulated queuing delay in the MAC buffer. Delay and frame loss are compared for time correlated and time uncorrelated fading channels. Compared to the slow fading case, in a fast fading channel fewer retransmissions are required and the end-to-end delay is significantly reduced. When channel conditions are poor the simulated delay and frame loss rate are seriously underestimated when time uncorrelated fading is assumed. To analyze the performance of video codecs, we show that a time correlated channel model must be combined with a dedicated 802.11a/g MAC/PHY simulation.This paper presents simulation results for the transmission of unicast MAC frames over 802.11a/g.
