‘Glimmer’ is a starting point.
Glimmer is a small painting. It is made with two colours, viridian green and quinacridone magenta. They are painted onto raw, un-primed canvas, which absorbs and is coated by this gossamer of colour. Fibres are stained, they become the hue. A new surface emerges, which is re-coated with its opposite colour, creating an equilibrium, an equation, a means to cancel out it’s individuality and become achromatic. This skin of paint is formed by the edge of a series of co-joined arcs, that infer the parabola of a ruched curtain where light peeks through.
Glimmer was conceived in response to the death of relative. It returns to a memory of final moments, being in a room with curtains drawn against the hot light of the day. It becomes a space between the real and the un-real, between figure and abstraction. Glimmer is a painting made in response to the materiality of paint and the ephemerality of life

Firm Performance and Foreign Direct Investment: Evidence from Transition Economies
No full textFirm Performance and Foreign Direct Investment: Evidence from Transition Economies Mahmut Yasar, University of Texas at Arlington, and Catherine J. Morrison Paul, University of California, Davis* Abstract We evaluate the performance of foreign-owned versus domestic firms, and the spillover effects of industry foreign share for five transition economies, namely Poland, Moldova, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and the Kyrgyz Republic. We find higher productivity, capital intensity, export and import shares, employment, and wages for firms with foreign ownership. Further, we find that industry presence of foreign affiliates of multinational firms leads to performance improvements for domestic firms that is, spillovers from foreign firms benefit domestic firms in these transition economies.Eastern Europe and Central Asia
Transforming America : Toni Morrison and classical tradition
No full textThis thesis examines a significant but little-studied feature of Toni Morrison's
work: her ambivalent engagement with classical tradition. Analysing all eight
novels. it argues that her allusiveness to the cultural practices of Ancient Greece
and Rome is fundamental to her political project. Illuminating hegemonic
America's consistent recourse to the classical world in the construction of its
identity, I expand on prior scholarship by reading Morrison's own revisionary
classicism as a subversion of dominant US culture. My three-part study
examines the way her deployment of Graeco-Roman tradition destabilizes
mythologies of the American Dream, prevailing narratives of America's
history, and national ideologies of purity. Part I shows that Morrison enlists
tragic conventions to problematize the Dream's central tenets of upward
mobility, progress and freedom. It argues that while her engagement with Greek
choric models effects her refutation of individualism, it is her later novels'
rejection of a wholly catastrophic vision that enables her to avoid reinscribing
the Dream. Part II demonstrates that it is through her classical allusiveness that
Morrison rewrites American history. Her multiply-resonant echoes of the epic,
pastoral and tragic traditions that have consistently informed the dominant
culture's justifications for and representations of its actions enable her
reconfiguration of colonization, of the foundation of the new nation, of slavery
and its aftermath and of the Civil Rights Movement. Part III illuminates how
the author uses the discourse of pollution or miasma to challenge
Enlightenment-derived valorizations of racial purity and to expose the practices
of scapegoating and revenge as flawed means to moral purity. Her interest in
the hegemonic fabrication of classical tradition as itself a pure and purifying
force is matched by her insistence on that tradition's African elements, and thus
on its potent impurity. Her own radical classicism, therefore, is central to the
transformation of America that her novels envision
Impact of promotion and advertising on product choice, purchase frequency and purchase quantity
No full textabstract: Marketing research in consumer packaged goods shows that consumers’ brand choices, category choices, and purchase volumes are all affected by different factors and in different ways by pricepromotions
and advertising. Research also suggests that brand-loyalty, purchase rates, and inventory behavior are important determinants of category choice. These findings are likely to be true of apples as well.Faculty working paper series (Morrison School of Agribusiness and Resource Management) ; MSABR 98-01Includes bibliographical references (p. 26-27)

Paul Robeson's Othello at the Savoy Theatre, 1930
No full textPaul Robeson's Othello, first seen in London during the season of 1929–30, stands as a high-water mark of twentieth-century Shakespearean interpretation. Robeson was the first actor of African descent to appear in an extended-run Shakespearean production at a leading West End venue (Ira Aldridge, whose last London appearance came sixty-five years earlier, had made only three brief appearances at major London theatres). Here, Michael A. Morrison examines the circumstances surrounding Robeson's London Othello in 1930 and the far-reaching influence of his achievement on future generations of performers and playgoers. Michael A. Morrison is a New York-based writer and teacher. He is the author of John Barrymore, Shakespearean Actor (Cambridge University Press, 1997) and the forthcoming Paul Robeson's Othello.</jats:p
