Progressing Towards the Future
No full textIn the book, The American College Town, author Blake Gumprechet claims that college towns are often seen as spaces that are more progressive and open-minded than the surrounding areas. However, a look through the Marshall University Archives reveals that this wasn\u27t always the case for Huntington\u27s campus. This presentation discusses the ways that representations and discussions of minority student groups have changed over the course of Marshall’s history. By looking at a collection of articles published in The Parthenon during the 1960’s, my paper is able to discuss some of Marshall\u27s past.
This paper follows The Parthenon storyline of the Civil Interest Progressives, a student ran Civil Rights group who held a variety of functions to help further racial equality in Huntington. Though the town may not seem like a center for student protests, the Civil Interest Progressives are among one of the best examples in Marshall\u27s history showing how students helped to ensure a welcoming campus for a variety of students. Through a combination of meetings, sit-ins, and aggressive demonstrations, the group was able to promote equality throughout the town.
Together these articles highlight an important part of Marshall\u27s history, exposing how students have promoted and provided acceptance during divided times. Student group can often times act as the voice of a campus, and this paper is able to highlight one of the most crucial conversations to occur on Marshall\u27s campus

The social lives of lived and inscribed objects: a Lapita perspective
No full textAs James Cook and his men on the Resolution and Discovery sailed through Polynesia and the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America, they were treated to a number of welcome rituals and ceremonial performances. In this paper the author looks beyond the immediate face value of objects to a more rounded understanding of objects and their agency. The author suggests rethinking objects as social interventions and possible events rather than as portals to archaeological information. To do this I will develop a distinction drawn by feminist philosopher Elizabeth Grosz (1994) between lived and inscribed bodies and employ this distinction as a conceptual tool for thinking about the agency of objects, particularly Lapita pottery

Cultural codes and hierarchies in the mid-cinquecento villotta
No full textThe villotta is a song in Venetian or Paduan dialect, typically for four voices. This thesis examines the villotta as a construction of sexualised rusticity and proposes implications this has for the dedicatees or sponsors of three printed collections of villotte. The dedicatees, the initial target audience of these books, inhabit a social milieu far removed from the rustic world evoked by the titles and contents of the publications. This project uses these books to explore issues of hierarchy in musical culture, to scrutinise cinquecento sexual representation in song and to investigate the performance of identity in the elite, predominantly homosocial circles from which they originate. There are at least three tiers of indecencies in the villotta: overt sexual content; obscene allusions achieved through musico-textual devices; or the use of sexual metaphor that exceeds the death=orgasm trope. Employing Jean Toscan’s comprehensive study of equivocal poetry, I demonstrate that many villotte draw on a vast contemporaneous erotic lexicon referring to sexual practices then considered socially dangerous, such as sodomy. Equivocal poetry allows the simultaneous perception of multiple meanings, that is the surface meaning and one or more layers encoded in the language. The virtuosity of the author in manipulating these metaphors and the composer’s skill in revealing or concealing the erotic content are meanings in their own right. I assess the categories used to describe sexual language and argue that the concealment and revelation of indecency is closely related to the art of sprezzatura necessary in court and academy alike. In polite company, musical eroticism – particularly when so closely associated with rusticity – becomes a test of gentility. By responding with the requisite degree of nonchalance, gentlemen and gentlewomen demonstrate their status and sophistication.</p
The operas of G. W. L. Marshall-Hall
No full textDeposited with permission of the author. © 1978 Warren Arthur BebbingtonG. W. L. Marshall-Hall, 1862-1915, English-born musician who settled in Australia in 1891, is chiefly remembered as a pioneer teacher and conductor, founder of the Melbourne University Conservatorium and the Melba Memorial Conservatorium, Melbourne, propagator of the first orchestral subscription concerts in Melbourne, and founding Professor of Music at the University of Melbourne. An outspoken Bohemian, his book of poems Hymns ancient and modern (1898) was judged lewd and sacrilegious and led to his severance from the University in 1900. Marshall-Hall was also a composer of over 50 works, including operas, symphonies, overtures, string quartets, and numerous songs. The six extant operas are a representative sample of his creative work, exhibiting strong influence of Wagner and later Puccini, but flawed by the limits of a largely untutored technique. Most interesting is the effect on the composer's creative work of prolonged isolation from and occasional return-visits to Europe
Richard L. Davis and the Color Line in Ohio Coal
No full textBased on the debate in the research literature since Herbert Gutman first reintroduced Richard L. Davis to the world in 1968 and a historical analysis of 170 letters written by Davis, many recently discovered by the author, this presentation of Richard L. Davis and the Color Line in Ohio Coal: A Hocking Valley Mine Labor Organizer, 1862-1900 (2016) (Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Company), will focus on the remarkable life of Richard L. Davis. Born in Roanoke County, Virginia, on the eve of the Emancipation Proclamation, Davis was an early mine labor organizer from Rendville, Ohio, a racially integrated “free space” community in Appalachian Southeast Ohio founded by William P. Rend, a Chicago coal operator. One year after the 1884 Great Hocking Valley Coal Strike, which lasted nine months, Davis wrote the first of his many letters to the National Labor Tribune and the United Mine Workers Journal. Davis was one of two African Americans at the founding convention of United Mine Workers of America, which was held in Columbus, Ohio, in January 1890. After having served for five years on the Executive Board of District Six, Ohio, he was elected as a member of the National Executive Board in 1886 and 1897. Davis ardently and incessantly called upon white and black miners to unite against wage slavery. This presentation will provide a detailed portrait of one of America’s more influential labor organizers and how his struggle to break the color line continues to hold deep significance for us today
Situating the Greenham archaeology: an autoethnography of a feminist project
No full textThis paper discusses an ongoing investigation into the material cultural legacy and memory of the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp. Using an autoethnographic approach it explores how a project at Greenham became an exercise in feminist practice, which aimed to stay close to the spirit and ethics of its subject of study, the women-only, feminist space of Greenham. We draw on principles from feminist and post-positivist scholarship to argue for the importance of refl exively exploring personal investments and situatedness in relation to research. The paper offers three narratives, one by each author, of our involvement with, and relationship to, the archaeological and ethnographic work at Greenham. It thereby also presents an account of how the objectives and methodologies of the research developed and changed over time
