In/animate recent work by Myra Mimlitsch-Gray
No full text"In/Animate surveys the past decade of work by Myra Mimlitsch-Gray, internationally renowned metalsmith and head of the Metal Program at SUNY New Paltz. Curated by author Akiko Busch, the exhibition explores a variety of artistic processes using iron, copper, brass, silver, and enameled steel. Mimlitsch-Gray's domestic artifacts suggest a coalescence of body and thing, conveying the mutability of the animate and inanimate and reflecting the intimacy between people and the objects they use. A spoon could be a lip, or a dangling twist of fabric, a vein. Over 40 meticulously crafted works contribute to the contemporary conversation about how household objects express ideas about presentation, utility, and class."--Samuel Dorsky Museum websit
My mortal enemyにおける対立要素とMyraの孤独
No full textapplication/pdfAN00000289-20140726-3In Willa Cather's My Mortal Enemy (1926), the author describes various opposite images such as poverty and wealth, single life and matrimony, Europe and America, Catholicism and Protestanism, love and hostility, and youth and age, through the heroine's life. As for these pairs of opposite notions, it can be thought that one notion sometimes is the root of the other. And the heroine's life can be explained by these oppsite notion. Myra Henshawe, the heroine, desires a rich and happy life but feels lonely at last. This essay aims to explore the meaning of Myra's loneliness.
Myra prefers poor artistic friends to rich people with money, and kindly takes care of her young friends. However, she is satisfied with her friends only when she is richer and stronger than them. Moreover, she always wants to live in high society and desires to be richer. Although her husband has a steady job till her later years, she connot be satisfied with her plain life and feels unhappy. Her ambition for money and a materialistic life prevents her from realizing a realistic life for her.
While Myra longs for her past life and feels unhappy, her husband, Osward, can positively accept all his life and reality. His positive way of thinking makes Myra lonelier. Myra can neither make money by herself nor abandon her unrealistic ambition. Her loneliness symbolizes the weakness of the people like her.departmental bulletin pape
"The mad", "the bad", "the victim" : gendered constructions of women who kill within the criminal justice system
No full textWomen commit significantly fewer murders than men and are perceived to be less violent. This belief about women’s non-violence reflects the discourses surrounding gender, all of which assume that women possess certain inherent essential characteristics such as passivity and gentleness. When women commit murder the fundamental social structures based on appropriate feminine gendered behaviour are contradicted and subsequently challenged. This article will explore the gendered constructions of women who kill within the criminal justice system. These women are labelled as either mad, bad or a victim, by both the criminal justice system and society, depending on the construction of their crime, their gender and their sexuality. Symbiotic to labelling women who kill in this way is the denial of their agency. That is to say that labelling these women denies the recognition of their ability to make a semi-autonomous decision to act in a particular way. It is submitted that denying the agency of these women raises a number of issues, including, but not limited to, maintaining the current gendered status quo within the criminal law and criminal justice system, and justice both being done, and being seen to be done, for these women and their victims
