Bits and Pieces at the NewHaven Open Call
No full textBits and Pieces, part of The Newhaven Open Call, 11.09.21 - 26.09.21. A curatorial collaboration between Ian Dawson, Newhaven Community Wellbeing Art Group and The Newhaven Open CallFeaturing the work of the Wellbeing Art Group; Susan Adam-Bedingfield, Laura Mustoe, Nicky Chumleigh, Sophie Linsdell, Barbara Stevens, Tracy Robinson alongside works by Ian Dawson, Nicky Hirst, Louisa Minkin, Alex Schady, Laura White, and Alice Wilson. Newhaven Arts Projects invited the Artist Ian Dawson to guest curate at this year's Newhaven Open Call. Dawson decided to involve the local Wellbeing Art Group in this process too.During the summer Dawson assembled several works by a range of artist and travelled with them in a rucksack to Newhaven. The works included fragments of fired ceramic by Laura White, the Touch Wood series of sliced tree branches with images transferred onto their surface by Alice Wilson and cushions depicting the demolition of a South London Housing Estate by Louisa Minkin. In different ways all the works had stories attached to them of landscape, community, fragments, and ruin and were chosen to wash up at a coastal town with tales to tell. All the works could be handled, indeed some like Nicky Hirst’s black graphite coated Russian Dolls would be delicately altered as the shine of fingerprints accumulated upon the surface adding a new lustre to this piece. Alex Schady provided a set of oversized sewn suits made from duvets and a set of instructions about how to wear them. At the Hillcrest centre in Newhaven Dawson introduced these works to the Wellbeing Art Group, the weekly community art class. The works were handled and talked about, and these artworks were arranged on tabletops alongside art made in the art class, making connections. New drawings were made to partner works and explore them. Tracy made a cave and Nicky traced colours and shapes emanating out of the sculptures. By the end of the workshop a mini pop-up exhibition had been made from a playful and open interplay between the group and the works that they had encountered for the very first time. Here the group made a show like a collage, applying the technique to piece different works of art together The success of this pop-up exhibition workshop provided the impetus to want to restage this at the Open Call Exhibition, where the curators of the main exhibition are piecing work together that they’ve encountered for the first time. So, when the empty shopfront 'Bits and Pieces’ became available it became the perfect venue for Dawson and the Wellbeing Art Group to make their show in. During an intense installation period, works were moved around, the furniture in the store was used, the fridge and safe from the office becoming plinths. The approach was intuitive, trying things out, and seeking consensus ‘what do you think’ was uttered everytime work was moved, constantly trying new arrangements. Combinations were surprising. The richness and layering in the space is testament to the dedication of the Wellbeing Art Group

Labouring in Hollywood’s motion picture industry and the promise of ‘flexible specialisation’
No full textFlexible specialisation,’ as a conceptual framework, has exerted a powerful influence over how we understand Hollywood’s motion picture industry. Developed in the 1980s by Michael Storper, Susan Christopherson, Allen J. Scott and others, they claim to detect a new form of industrial organisation built around small competitive firms exerting powerful agglomeration influences that not only delivered greater efficiency but also promised to improve the working lives of those inside Hollywood. For supporters of flexible specialisation there exists an industrial divide separating the modern competitive era from its oligopolistic and less attractive past. This divide is represented by a series of Fordist/Post Fordist binaries: between mass production and flexible specialisation, oligopoly and competitive small firms, and between semi-skilled operatives and craft labour. Such optimism about the present industry stands in marked contrast to the darker vision of many of critics of flexible specialisation who predict a degraded, ‘globalised’ workforce as ‘runaway production’ gathers pace. Dawson argues that flexible specialisation, by inserting a spurious industrial divide, not only distorts the recent development of motion pictures but also the entire industry’s history since the 1920s. In order to fully explain the emergence of flexible specialisation and to grasp its political aspirations, he insists that we need to remember that it emerged during the Reagan era deregulation at a time of severe dislocation in the Los Angeles economy when many intellectuals looked for assurance that future industrial organisation could combine efficiency and social progress
Sustainability Awareness Week 2021: Climate Anxiety with Dr. Susan Clayton
No full textFive current FIT students and recent graduates will join Daniel Benkendorf and climate anxiety scholar, Dr. Susan Clayton.In this session, Daniel Benkendorf (Psychology) will discuss the issue of climate anxiety with Dr. Susan Clayton, a psychologist who is both an internationally-recognized scholar on this topic and who is also a lead author on the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. A panel of current FIT students and recent graduates will join Benkendorf and Clayton as they define and explore the features and peculiarities of climate anxiety and consider ways to ameliorate it.Sustainability is a key component of FIT’s mission and is embedded in the college’s curriculum and operations. During virtual Sustainability Awareness Week, we invite our community to learn about recent innovations from leaders in the industry, FIT students, faculty, staff, and alumni; experience FIT’s efforts to make a positive impact on the earth; and discover new ways to live with a smaller footprint
'Pilings of Thought Under Spoken': The Poetry of Susan Howe, 1974-1993.
No full textPhDThis thesis discusses the poetry published by contemporary American poet Susan
Howe over a period of almost two decades. The dissertation is chiefly concerned with
articulating the relationship between poetic form, history, and authority in this body
of' work. Howe's poetry dredges the past for the linguistic effects of patriarchy,
colonialism and war. My reading of the work is an exploration of the ways in which a
disjunctive poetics can address such historical trauma. The poems, rather than
attempting to reinstate voices lifted from what Howe has called "the dark side of
history", are a means of reflecting the resistance that the past offers to contemporary
investigation. It is the effacement, and not the recovery, of history's victims, that is
discernible in the contours of these highly opaque texts. Notions of authority are most
often addressed in the poetry through the figure of paternal absence, which has a
threefold function in the work, serving to represent social authority, an aporetic
conception of divinity and an autobiographical narrative. Alongside the antiauthoritarian
currents in the writing - critiques, for example, of the doctrine of
Manifest Destiny or of scapegoating versions of femininity - my thesis stresses Howe's
engagement with negative theology and with a strain of American Protestant
enthusiasm that has its roots in 17th century New England. The dissertation explores
the dissonance caused by the co-existence in the poetry of elements of political dissent
and religious mysticism. Finally, I consider Howe's engagement with literary history
and authors such as Shakespeare, Swift, Thoreau and Melville. The manner in which
Howe deploys the words of others in her work, I argue, allows for a mixture of textual
polyphony and a more conventional notion of authorial 'voice'

Visit this record in UMA's new catalogue at: https://archives.library.unimelb.edu.au/nodes/view/68973Comprises records from all aspects of Susan Hawthorne's life from her student activities to her role as an author and publisher. They include her early women's liberation and political involvement; her literary involvement as a writer, publisher and conference organiser; written drafts of her publications: correspondence with her mother and friends; the lesbian feminist movement; and her activities as a writer and circus performer for Performing Older Women.
The arrangement of this collection has been carried out by Susan Hawthorne and it is a box list, that is, it describes the content of each box rather than the detail of each file within each box. Nevertheless, it was her practice to arrange her papers into one or more multi-subject files per year and this arrangement has been followed for these papers. Her manuscripts are also arranged by year. Boxes are titled by Susan Hawthorne's name and a sequence number in most cases, and their contents are well described.46169
