Arthur and Fritz Kahn Collection 1889-1932
No full textThis collection documents the professional work and personal lives of the author Arthur Kahn (1850-1928) and his son, Fritz Kahn (1888-1968). The bulk of the records are concerned with Fritz Kahn's unpublished text, entitled The Natural History of Palestine. Included are multiple drafts of chapters, illustrations, notes, and photographs with accompanying material. The collection also contains various drafts of published and unpublished essays and articles, personal and professional correspondence, personal documents, such as diaries and academic records, newspaper clippings, and printed matter.digitize

Motivic periods and Grothendieck arithmetic invariants
No full textWe construct a period regulator for motivic cohomology of an algebraic scheme over a subfield of the complex numbers. For the field of algebraic numbers we formulate a period conjecture for motivic cohomology by saying that this period regulator is surjective. Showing that a suitable Betti–de Rham realization of 1-motives is fully faithful we can verify this period conjecture in several cases. The divisibility properties of motivic cohomology imply that our conjecture is a neat generalization of the classical Grothendieck period conjecture for algebraic cycles on smooth and proper schemes. These divisibility properties are treated in an appendix by B. Kahn (extending previous work of Bloch and Colliot-Thélène–Raskind)

Letter from David Kahn to Emmett L. Bennett Jr., December 13, 1959
No full textKahn details to Bennett how journalism makes accessible a technical and intellectual subject like the story of Linear B's decipherment to a large public. He insists on its story being told, debating Bennett's points on the matter.Classic
Interface: the correspondence of Pierre Elliott Trudeau and H. Marshall McLuhan (1968-1980)
No full textThis study explores the relationship of Canadian prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and seminal media theorist Marshall McLuhan through an examination of their correspondence, which has never been studied as a discrete entity. The two men were at the forefront of discussions about critical issues of globalization, especially the political uses of media, at a time when globalization was not yet a recognized keyword in the literature. All this is reflected in the correspondence. There were almost 100 items, housed at Library and Archives Canada (LAC) in Ottawa, many of which have appeared in pieces in books written about either man; many of McLuhan’s are in a 1987 collection of his letters, published by Oxford University Press. Mainly, I searched through primary and secondary documents, though I did contact several of McLuhan’s children, spoke with a few people who knew either or both men and paid a visit to LAC. The letters form the second chapter of this dissertation, an intersection between Part I, which introduces them and my interest in them, and Part III, in which I take readers through the correspondence. Part IV is primarily a description of the personal journey through issues of globalization, multiculturalism and borders that ties it all together. The relationship between these two intellects was warm and nuanced. Trudeau “spoke of McLuhan with great reverence” and, for McLuhan, Trudeau was “an image of the age, a phenomenon of media, a rare combination of training, practice, intuition, vision; a figure of undoubted fascination, a charismatic who manifested the Canadian dualities and ambiguities.” Both were experts at media manipulation and recognized that in the other. McLuhan was teaching the world about the global village at the same time as Trudeau was helping Canada find its place and meanings in it. Even a cursory glance at the news today shows how much their work is still relevant and needs to be built upon.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Elaine B. Kah
Louis I. Kahn, teacher
No full textLouis I. Kahn was not only an architect of powerful buildings; he was also an unconventional teacher and a radical philosopher whose influence on his students was far-reaching. It is through his many former students, especially those in his Master\u27s Class at the University of Pennsylvania, 1960-74, that Kahn\u27s distinctive philosophy of education and unique pedagogy have continued to influence the teaching and making of architecture in the late modern era. Focusing on a neglected area of Kahn scholarship, the author argues that Kahn\u27s legacy as a teacher should be remembered as among his greatest accomplishments. The study examines Kahn\u27s philosophy of education, his unique pedagogy, and his motives for teaching. It draws upon the author\u27s experience as a student in the Master\u27s Class and extensive research at the Louis I. Kahn Collection housed in Penn\u27s Architectural Archives, the comprehensive repository of records relating to Kahn\u27s academic and professional career. It is the first study to be based upon interviews with numerous fellow Master\u27s Class alumni, reflecting the views expressed by Kahn\u27s students about their teacher and the lasting impact of his teaching on their professional lives. © 2013 Cambridge University Press
