Adele Shtern: Catalog of Works and Images
No full textAdele Shtern was born in Montreal and received her BA in Design from Concordia University. She was awarded a Design Canada grant to study Graphic Design in the MFA program at Yale University. She has been a Professor of Art at the Tyler School of Art, the University of Bridgeport, FIT, and Baruch College/CUNY. She is currently an adjunct Professor in the Music and Art Department at BMCC/CUNY. She lives in Long Island City, NY where she continues to be an active artist. She is the co-author of an oral history book entitled Nicky D from LIC.
Shtern is considered a pioneer in computer art. Her involvement with digital art began in 1983 at the New York Institute of Technology on a University of Bridgeport grant. Committed to the process of art as a form of healing, Shtern conceived Lotus Cusp, a multimedia presentation re 9.11 with her BMCC/CUNY students. Several of her images are now on the 9.11 online Memorial Artists’ Registry. Her work has been exhibited extensively in solo and group shows in the US, Canada, Europe and Japan. It has been published internationally and has received many awards.
Adele Shtern embraces her calling as a multi-disciplinary artist using traditional and digital media. She takes pleasure in discovering visually interesting sights in diverse loci. Her creative process involves opening herself to the revelation of seeing the familiar in new ways. Painterly and abstract aspects of the environment catch her eye.
Shtern’s digital photos are part of an ongoing series of photographic explorations. Some of the sites have since been transformed or no longer exist. This record preserves the memory of what once existed, as a visual and cultural archive.
Types of work include: photographs, photomontages, journals of drawings, digital montage, gouache paintings, handmade paper, poetry and music
The Journey from Australia to Italy of Alice Pung’s Bestselling Novel
No full textAlice Pung's Unpolished Gem was translated into Italian in 2010. Giving some examples of the challenge this work of translation presented, Adele D'Arcangelo will try to put Pung's novel in the picture of a wider production of multicultural literature available in Italy. Positive aspects related to the reception of Gemma Impura in Italy will be pointed out as well as the vital and fundamental collaboration between author and translator. The innate potentialities of Unpolished Gem to transform a personal experience in a universal one were doubled by the translation of the book in another language, allowing a wider and more eclectic readership to become familiar with Alice's story, and making its Australian setting overcome the boundaries of language and spac
Angel With a Missing Wing: Loss, Restitution, and the Embodied Self in the Photography of Josef Sudek
No full textContextualized within his life story and his political and cultural milieu, the author interprets Josef Sudek's quest to find what had been lost as a driving force behind his life's work. Through the analysis of his photographic oeuvre, this essay will build a conceptual bridge between Sigmund Freud's formulations on mourning and identification, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty's theory of the embodied self. Synthesizing these contributions with Melanie Klein's theories on mourning and reparation, Hannah Segal's application of Klein to Proust, Freud's concept of Nachträglichkeit, and its contemporary elaboration, après-coup, I will posit Sudek's work as an extension, reclamation, and re-creation of the self, and of the world that comprises the embodied self
Text As Muse, Muse As Text: Janáček, Kamila, and the Role of Fantasy in Musical Creativity
No full textA close reading of his letters and the texts on which Leoš Janáček based his late works, contextualized by critical historical and biographical events, sheds new light on Janáček's fantasy world--and, in particular, the critical role played by his late-life muse, Kamila Stösslová The author shows that Janáček's muse was also "composed": that the contours of his passion were in fact patterned after the significant literary works he chose to set to music, mapping her object representation onto the various characterizations and narratives specified by those texts. The Quartet No. 2, "Intimate Letters" is reconstrued this quartet as a condensed distillate of the various texts around which Janáček constructed his fantasy love—including, and perhaps most significantly, an occult work literary tnot previously identified. If Janáček's muse was modeled on texts, then those texts, too, were his muse

Analysis Of Idioms Found In Selected Song Lyrics Of Adele
No full textThis article discusses the analysis of idioms found in Adele song lyrics. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out by the author through Adele song lyrics such as Easy on me, Rolling in the dark, Someone like you, Hello, Send my love and others. The final product features every idiom Palmer uses in select songs. Partial idiomatic phrases consist of 7 (70%) phrases, followed by phrasal verbs (2, 20%), and prepositional verbs (1, 10%). In some of Adele songs, some idioms terms with unique meanings derived from Adele songs dominate. There are many idioms, each with a special meaning. The researcher divides meaning into conceptual meaning, connotative meaning, theme meaning, emotive meaning, reflected meaning, stylistic meaning, and collactive meaning
Altered Expression of the CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor in the Triple Transgenic Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
No full textThe endocannabinoid system has gained much attention as a new potential pharmacotherapeutic target in various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the association between CB1 alterations and the development of AD neuropathology is unclear and often contradictory. In this study, brain CB1 mRNA and CB1 protein levels were analyzed in 3 × Tg-AD mice and compared to wild-type littermates at 2, 6 and 12 months of age, using in-situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Semiquantitative analysis of CB1 expression focused on the prefrontal cortex (PFC), prelimbic cortex, dorsal hippocampus (DH), basolateral amygdala complex (BLA), and ventral hippocampus (VH), all areas with high CB1 densities that are strongly affected by neuropathology in 3 × Tg-AD mice. At 2 months of age, there was no change in CB1 mRNA and protein levels in 3 × Tg-AD mice compared to Non-Tg mice in all brain areas analyzed. However, at 6 and 12 months of age, CB1 mRNA levels were significantly higher in PFC, DH, and BLA, and lower in VH in 3 × Tg-AD mice compared to wild-type littermates. CB1 immunohistochemistry revealed that CB1 protein expression was unchanged in 3 × Tg-AD at 2 and 6 months of age, while a significant decrease in CB1 receptor immunoreactivity was detected in the BLA and DH of 12-month-old 3 × Tg-AD mice, with no sign of alteration in other brain areas. The altered CB1 levels appear, rather, to be age-and/or pathology-dependent, indicating an involvement of the endocannabinoid system in AD pathology and supporting the ECS as a potential novel therapeutic target for treatment of AD
