paragraph: Brian Berry

paragraph: Brian Joe Lobley Berry (born February 16, 1934) is a British-American human geographer and city and regional planner. He is Lloyd Viel Berkner Regental Professor in the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas. His urban and regional research in the 1960s sparked geography’s social-scientific revolution and made him the most-cited geographer for more than 25 years.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Berry was born in Sedgley, Staffordshire, United Kingdom. He was educated at Queen Elizabeth's High School, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire]] and Acton County Grammar School, Acton, Middlesex. He graduated from University College, London, with a B.Sc. (Economics) degree with first class honors in 1955. With a Fulbright scholarship he went on to the University of Washington where he completed an M.A. in 1956, and a Ph.D. in 1958, studying under noted geographer and leader of the "quantitative revolution" William Garrison in the Department of Geography.

paragraph: Upon completing his Ph.D., Berry was appointed to the faculty at the University of Chicago, rising to the position of Irving B.Harris Professor of Urban Geography, geography department chair and director of the Center for Urban Studies, positions that he held until 1976. During this time his urban and regional research sparked geography’s social-scientific revolution and made him the most-cited geographer for more than 25 years, known for his refinement of central place theory and for laying the foundations of analytic urban geography, of spatial analysis, and of geospatial information science. Since 1990 his studies have focused on long-wave theory and its relationships to macrohistorical phasing of economic development and political behavior. He also has researched variations in the quality of life ("happiness") across and within nations.

paragraph: From 1976 to 1981 Berry was the Frank Backus Williams Professor of City and Regional Planning in the Graduate School of Design, chair of the PhD Program in Urban Planning and professor in sociology in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, director of the  Laboratory for Computer Graphics and Spatial Analysis and a faculty fellow of the Institute for International Development at Harvard, and following that was appointed University Professor of Urban Studies and Public Policy and dean of the Heinz College at Carnegie Mellon University for a period of 5 years. In 1986 he joined the University of Texas at Dallas, occupying the Lloyd Viel Berkner Regental Professorship, and becoming founding dean of the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences. He has remained active there since.

paragraph: Among his honors, Berry was elected a member the National Academy of Sciences in 1975 and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1976. He is also a Fellow of the British Academy and University College, London. He was the 1978-79 President of the Association of American Geographere, and among many other awards and recognitions, in 1988 he was awarded the Victoria Medal from the Royal Geographical Society. In 1999 he was elected a member of the Council of the National Academy of Sciences, and in 2004 was a founding member of the Texas Academy of Medicine, Engineering and Science (TAMEST), later serving on its council. In 2005 he was named the Laureat Internationale de Geographie 'Vautrin Lud' (the 'Nobel Prize of Geography') and became a Fellow on the American Institute of Certified Planners, followed thereafter by Fellowship in the Regional Science Association International. In 2017 the International N.D. Kondratieff Foundation named him a Kondratieff Medal Laureate.

paragraph: Section::::Publications.

paragraph: Berry has authored over 550 books and articles, and attempts to bridge theory and practice via involvement in urban and regional development activities in both advanced and developing countries. During his career he also has been advisor to more than 145 new PhDs and has served on an equal number of other doctoral committees. Many of his students have gone on to successful academic and professional careers in their own right. He also has been an active family historian and genealogist, with many additional publications to his name, most recently delving into genetic genealogy, where testing by FamilyTreeDNA documents his y-Dna to be the Bell-Beaker R-L21A5846A5840A5835Y18815Y42681, which he shares with descendants of John Berry of Honley in Yorkshire (1510-1569), and his mitochondrial DNA to be T2f1a1.

paragraph: Jean Bilhères de Lagraulas

paragraph: Jean Bilhères de Lagraulas or Jean Villier de la Grolaie, or Groslaye etc., also called the Cardinal of Saint-Denis (died 1499), was a French Roman Catholic abbot, bishop and from 1493 cardinal. He died as French ambassador in Rome, and is remembered for commissioning Michelangelo in 1498 to sculpt his "Pietà" for St. Peter's Basilica.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Jean Bilhères de Lagraulas was born in Gascony in 1435 or 1439, the son of a noble family. His father was the "seigneur" of Lagraulas, Camicas and, probably, Billère.

paragraph: Jean Bilhères de Lagraulas entered the Order of Saint Benedict at a young age. In 1473, he became Abbot of Pessan Abbey in Pessan.

paragraph: He served as a royal counselor to Louis XI of France. Following the 1473 death of John V, Count of Armagnac, John II of Aragon claimed control of the Quatre-Vallées, which were also claimed by John V's sister. Louis XI sent Abbot Bilhères to the region, and he successfully convinced the Quatre-Vallées to repudiate John II.

paragraph: In gratitude for his service, Louis XI of France had him elected Bishop of Lombez on July 5, 1473. He occupied this see until two days before his death. The king also named him temporary administrator of the Abbey of Saint-Denis. He was later unanimously elected as Abbot on May 12, 1474. This displeased Pope Sixtus IV, who had wanted Cardinal Guillaume d'Estouteville to become the abbot, so the pope initially withheld his approval, but eventually relented in summer 1475.

paragraph: In 1477, Bilhères was Louis XI's ambassador to the Catholic Monarchs. After the death of Louis XI, the regent, Anne of France, appointed Bilhères to the Council of State. She named him president of the Court of Aids in 1483. In 1485, he was president of the Estates General held at Tours. He served as interim Keeper of the Seals of France on several occasions.

paragraph: In 1485, Charles VIII of France named him president of the Exchequer of Normandy. In 1489, he attended the "parlement" at which the king had the Duke of Orléans explain his conduct. He then served as Charles VIII's ambassador to the Holy Roman Empire. In 1491, he became French ambassador to the Holy See in Rome. He was coadjutor bishop of Santes from December 2, 1491 until August 1492.

paragraph: Charles VIII recommended that the pope make Bilhères a cardinal, and, before his death, Pope Innocent VIII named him governor of Rome. Pope Alexander VI then made him a cardinal priest in the consistory of September 20, 1493. He received the red hat and the titular church of Santa Sabina on September 23, 1493.

paragraph: He accompanied King Charles VIII in his entrance in Rome on December 31, 1494 at the start of the Italian War of 1494–1498. On May 19, 1495, the king sent him to negotiate with the pope, but these negotiations were unsuccessful. He then accompanied the king on his crossing to Rome on June 1, 1495.

paragraph: On October 26, 1496, he was named Bishop of Condom "in commendam" and on February 14, 1498, Bishop of Viviers "in commendam"; he occupied both of these sees until his death.

paragraph: In 1498, he commissioned Michelangelo to sculpt his "Pietà" for the Chapel of St. Petronilla, the chapel of the King of France in St. Peter's Basilica.

paragraph: He died in Rome on August 6, 1499. He is buried in the Chapel of St. Petronilla in St. Peter's Basilica.

paragraph: Giuliano Cesarini, iuniore

paragraph: Giuliano Cesarini the Younger (It.: "Giuliano Cesarini, iuniore") (1466–1510) was an Italian Roman Catholic cardinal.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Giuliano Cesarini, "iuniore" was born in Rome in 1466, the son of Gabriele Cesarini, "Gonfaloniere" of the Senate and Roman People (SPQR), and his wife Giulina (Godina). Her father was Giovanni Andrea Colonna, and her mother was Ambroscina de'Astalli. Giuliano had two brothers, Pietro Paolo and Giovanni Giorgio. Giovanni Giorgio succeeded his father as Gonfaloniere in 1499. A third brother, Giovanni Andrea, was married to Gerolama Borgia, daughter of Pope Alexander VI, but both spouses died in 1483. They were the grand-nephews of Cardinal Giuliano Cesarini, "seniore". Giuliano also had four sisters: Antonina (wife of Carlo Muti), Caterina (wife of Antonino Albertoni), Alteria (who married a Margana), and Livia (wife of Pietro Ludovico Capizucchi).

paragraph: Early in his life, he was a protonotary apostolic, and a canon of the cathedral chapter of St. Peter's Basilica (attested between 1490 and 1493). On March 13, 1491, Giuliano was a canon of the chapter of St. Lambert's Cathedral, Liège.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Cardinal.

paragraph: In the consistory of September 20, 1493, Pope Alexander VI created Cesarini a cardinal deacon. He received the red hat and the deaconry of Santi Sergio e Bacco on September 23, 1493. Cardinal Cesarini lived in a palazzo in the Pigna region of the city of Rome, which had been reconstructed from several family houses by his great-uncle, Cardinal Giuliano Cesarini, "seniore".

paragraph: King Charles VIII of France, who was on his way to Naples, entered Rome with his army on 31 December 1494. Cardinals Colonna, Savelli, Peraudi, de la Grolaie, Sanseverino, Lunati, and della Rovere were with him. He was met privately ahead of time by Joannes Burchard, the papal Master of Ceremonies, who briefed the King on protocol, but Charles wanted a quiet entry without pomp. Cardinal Sforza came out to meet the King, and he was greeted by Cardinal Cibò at the Milvian Bridge (Ponte Mollo). On January 2, 1495, the King received all of the cardinals at the Palazzo San Marco, where he was lodged, with the exception of Carafa and Orsini, who were in attendance upon the Pope. The cardinals were received coldly by the King, and without the customary honors. Cesarini visited Charles after dinner and was admitted by the Duke of Albany, and he and the king walked up and back together. It is possible that he was carrying a private message directly from Pope Alexander. On May 27, 1495, Cesarini and nineteen other cardinals accompanied Pope Alexander VI to Civitavecchia, then Orvieto, and then Perugia, in order to avoid problems that might arise from the visit to Rome of King Charles VIII of France, who was returning from his war against Naples. The Curia returned to Rome with him on June 27, 1495.

paragraph: On 13 February 1500, Bishop Prospero Caffarelli of Ascoli was buried at the Minerva in Rome. On the next day, February 14, 1500, Cesarini became apostolic administrator of the see of Ascoli Piceno a post he held until his death. On 20 February, Cardinal Cesarini's majordomo, Bishop Antonio Bavano of Parenzo, died of the plague. The papal Master of Ceremonies, Johannes Burchard, notes in his "Diary" that he knew neither where nor how he was buried, since his "padrone" "was lacking in all goodness and humanity."

paragraph: On 26 February 1500, there was a grand reception of the Duke Valentino (Cesare Borgia) at the Porta del Popolo and a festive procession through the city to the Vatican. The Pope awaited his son in the loggia above the entrance to the Vatican Palace, in the company of Cardinal Juan de Borja, Cardinal Giovanni de San Giorgio, Cardinal Juan Lopez, Cardinal Cesarino, and Cardinal Alessandro Farnese. Cesarini also participated in a similar ornamental capacity in the investiture of Duke Valentino as Gonfaloniere of the Holy Roman Church and the award of the Golden Rose on Laetare Sunday, 29 March 1500. On Holy Thursday, 17 April 1500, Cesarini read out the papal bull granting a plenary indulgence on the occasion, and on Easter Sunday at the Papal Solemn Mass he had the privilege of reading the Latin Gospel—a task traditionally assigned to a deacon.

paragraph: On March 5, 1503, Cardinal Giuliano Cesarini became archpriest of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Conclaves.

paragraph: Cardinal Cesarini participated in the papal conclave of September 1503 that elected Pope Pius III. The principal problem during the "Sede Vacante" that led up to the opening of the Conclave on 16 September was that of security. There was a French army descending on Rome, and at the same time a Neapolitan army was approaching from the South. Cesare Borgia was in command of a force of 12,000 troops, mostly Spanish, who occupied the Leonine City (Vatican area). Most Cardinals refused to approach the Papal Palace while Cesare was in charge, and were actually negotiating with the Castellan of the Castel S. Angelo to use that fortress as a secure place to hold the Conclave. On 28 August Cardinal Cesarini was sent along with Cardinals Carvajal, Vera, and Medici to persuade the Castellan to hand over the keys. The Castellan refused, in accordance with his sworn oath to hand over the fortress only to the new pope. Cesare, who in the meantime had decided to switch to the French side, was finally persuaded to vacate the Papal Palace and remove his troops. As he was departing for Monte Mario on 2 September, and passing through the Garden Gate (Porta Vineae extra Portam Viridarii), he was accosted by Cardinal Cesarini, his sister's brother-in-law, who wanted to speak with Cesare. The reply given him was that "The Duke is not granting an audience." Cesarini could only return to the business meetings of the Cardinals and the contemplation of the possible future of the supporters of the Borgia. The Conclave opened on 16 September, but no vote was taken until 21 September. Cesarini voted for Della Rovere and Piccolomini. Then some concentrated negotiation produced a substantial and successful two-thirds majority for Cardinal Francesco Tedeschini-Piccolomini of Siena on 22 September. He chose the name Pius III. Piccolomini's brother was married to the illegitimate daughter of Ferdinando I of Naples. The French had lost. But temperamentally Piccolomini was a temporizer, and the French hopes revived when Pius III granted Charles VIII permission to march his troops through Rome toward Naples.

paragraph: The death of Pius III after only twenty-six days on the papal throne gave everyone a second chance. Cesarini then participated in the papal conclave of October 1503 that elected Pope Julius II. There was no ballot. Della Rovere was elected by acclamation on the morning of 1 November.

paragraph: On November 29, 1503, Cardinal Cesarini opted for the deaconry of Sant'Angelo in Pescheria.

paragraph: He died in Rome on May 1, 1510. Paris de Grassis, the Papal Master of Ceremonies provided a comment at his death: . He is buried in Santa Maria in Aracoeli.

paragraph: Bernardino Lunati

paragraph: Bernardino Lunati (1452–1497) was an Italian Roman Catholic cardinal.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Bernardino Lunati was born in Pavia in 1452. Early in his career, he was a protonotary apostolic.

paragraph: He obtained the patronage of Cardinal Ascanio Sforza, who insisted that Lunati be made a cardinal. As such, Pope Alexander VI made him a cardinal deacon in the consistory of September 20, 1493. He received the red hat and the "titulus" of San Ciriaco alle Terme Diocleziane on September 23, 1493. Immediately after he was raised to the cardinalate, Lunati was ordained as a priest.

paragraph: He supported Cardinal Ascanio Sforza in Cardinal Sforza's dispute with the pope. He was detained after visiting the Apostolic Palace on December 9, 1494. However, he was allowed to participate in the consistory of December 11, 1494 and was then sent to Ostia. From there, he joined Charles VIII of France and was part of his entourage when he entered Rome on December 31, 1494. Following the agreement reached between the pope and the king on January 15, 1495, Cardinal Lunati traveled with Cardinal Sforza to Milan, returning to Rome with him on February 21, 1495. He accompanied the pope to Orvieto on May 27, 1495 and returned with him to Rome on June 27.

paragraph: On July 10, 1495, he was named apostolic administrator of the see of Aquino, holding this post until November 13, 1495. In the consistory of October 26, 1496, he was named papal legate to Guidobaldo da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, captain general of the papal troops, in the war against the Orsini family. He was with the duke for the occupation of Anguillara Sabazia, Galera, Bassano, Sutri, Campagnano di Roma, Formello, Sacrofano, and Cesena.

paragraph: He died during the siege of Bracciano, on August 8, 1497. He is buried in Santa Maria del Popolo.

paragraph: Vanessa Place

paragraph: Vanessa Place (born 1968) is an American writer and criminal appellate attorney. Place earned a BA at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, an MFA at Antioch University, and a JD at Boston University. She is the co-director of the Los Angeles-based Les Figues Press. Place has also worked as an occasional screenwriter on television shows such as "" and "" with producer Liz Friedman.

paragraph: Section::::Conceptual and Performance Art.

paragraph: Place is associated with the Conceptual Art movement and has lectured and performed at events including at the Sorbonne in Paris, London's Whitechapel Gallery, and the Andre Bely Centre for Experimental Writing in St. Petersburg, and the Getty Villa in Los Angeles. In 2012, Place was the first poet to perform as part of the Whitney Biennial. In 2013, Place had her first solo art exhibition, "The Lawyer is Present," a response to Marina Abramović's "The Artist Is Present", at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, in which she listened to confidential confessions from volunteers and then performed them for the public. In 2014, Place exhibited her work "Last Words" alongside Andrea Fraser’s "Tehachapi at Kings Road" at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture/Schindler House. Critic Sharon Mizota, writing for the "Los Angeles Times", notes the two artists “filled the Schindler House, a landmark of 20th century modernism, with nothing but sound. Emptied of all but a few pieces of furniture, the house becomes both a setting and a listening device: an echo chamber reverberating with history and ideology.”

paragraph: Place has been reciting a set of rape jokes through her performance, "If I Wanted Your Opinion, I’d Remove the Duct Tape", since 2016. The Nu Performance Festival in Tallinn and the Swiss Institute in New York have previously hosted the performance, and philosopher Mladen Dolar was the respondent for a performance in Ljubljana. In a 2017 interview with Artforum, Place states: “The structure of a joke, according to Freud, is that it is a sudden discharge of repression, often sexual, often kind of obscene. And so, in that way, the joke itself ends up being structured, or ends up having the same structure, as a rape — a violent discharge of repressed sexuality.” A proposed sound installation of the work in 2015 was cancelled after a protest by other exhibition artists, leading to a panel on the project at Cabinet Magazine in Brooklyn, and a 2017 folio in Studies in Gender and Sexuality.

paragraph: Place says she conceives of her soundworks as “liquid sculptures,” wherein “sound behaves sculpturally.” In the same Artforum interview, she emphasizes that her sound art depends upon the bodies of the audience receiving the work, as those bodies are also liquid sculptures.

paragraph: Psychoanalytic and philosophic thinkers, such as Jacques Lacan and Immanuel Kant, often figure in Place's critical writing and performances. In her 2013 lecture “Conceptualism is Feminism,” Place used Lacan's pronouncement “la femme n’existe pas” [there is no woman] to argue that “woman” as a category “only exists contextually — one can only be woman relative to man…” “Conceptualism,” she says, “like feminism, asks one equally to consider the ‘=.’ How does A become equivalent to B, why does it seem (or seem to be proven to be) B’s equal, and at what cost does this equivalency work to A, and for that matter, B?” In “A Poetics of Radical Evil,” an essay published in 2010, Place modifies Kant to argue: “There must be an art [...] that is willing to be affirmatively evil, not immoral exactly, but as a work of malfeasance, not for the polemic or didactic turn, showing that certain things are bad, stupid, etc, that’s easy enough, and sadly it seems one is expected to say these things, which is another form of obscenity, but for a more primal acceptance.”

paragraph: Critic Naomi Toth notes that Place “prefers hot items,” subjects that generate unease and discomfort among audiences: “the legal defense of criminals, rape jokes, racist realist novels, the last words of death row convicts.” Toth suggests Place takes up the discourse “of the suspect, the one we’ve designated as guilty, the one we’re going to execute, the one we consent to push off-scene: the person and the narratives many of us would prefer to suppress to shore up our identity, to found our own innocence.” Toth states that Place's project can be understood as “one which makes this innocence suspect, for the duration of her performance at the very least. And for this choice, listeners hold her responsible in turn.”

paragraph: Section::::Writing.

paragraph: Place has published over 10 books of poetry, prose, and conceptual writing, including "After Vanessa Place" (2017) with Naomi Toth, "Last Words" (2015), "Boycott" (2013), ONE (2012, co-written with Blake Butler and Christopher Higgs), "Factory Work" (2011), "Gone with the Wind" (2011), "Tragodía 3: Argument" (2011), "Tragodía 2: Statement of The Case" (2011), "Tragodía 1: Statement of Facts" (2010), "The Guilt Project: Rape, Morality and Law" (2010), "Notes on Conceptualisms" (2009, co-written with Robert Fitterman), "La Medusa" (2008), and "Dies: A Sentence" (2005).

paragraph: In 2005, Place co-founded Les Figues Press, which “publishes experimental writing and literature in translation with a focus on feminist and queer authors,” in Los Angeles. Les Figues partnered with the "Los Angeles Review of Books" in 2017 as a member of its new imprint series, LARB Books. Place currently edits the press's Global Poetics Series.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Place is a criminal defense attorney who represents indigent sex offenders on appeal. She has previously published and performed works using courtroom materials. For example, her performance piece "Last Words", reproduces the last statements of all inmates executed in Texas since 1982. Naomi Toth, writing about "Last Words" for "Jacket2", states the work occurs “in a context in which, the listener realizes, speaking becomes the pronunciation of one’s own death sentence.” Place's trilogy "Tragodía (Statement of Facts, Statement of the Case, Argument)" was a self-appropriation of sections of her appellate briefs on behalf of sex offenders as a contemporary response to Dante's "Commedía".

paragraph: In her 2010 book "The Guilt Project: Rape, Morality, and Law" (Other Press), Place reflects on an experience when a court clerk asked her, “How can you live with yourself?” during a “particularly gruesome” child rape case. “I said that I don’t,” Place wrote. She goes on: “My job is not predicated on innocence. In our famously adversarial system of justice, we the actors play parts that are as important as the play. It’s a cliché that a society is judged by how it treats its most despicable members, a cliché that mindful people accept in the abstract and reject in practice. But freedom of speech is relevant only when the opinions are vile, and due process meaningful only when applied to the daddy who rapes his son.”

paragraph: Section::::Recognition and Reception.

paragraph: Place has held teaching appointments at the Université Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense and the University of Colorado, Boulder. Various symposia on Place's work and "practice-based criticism” have been held, including at the Université Pairs Ouest Nanterre La Défense, Université de Paris Est Marne-la-Vallée, Université de Mulhouse Colmar Alsace, Université Paris XIII, Université Paris VIII, Royal Danish Writers’ Academy, Birkbeck College/University of London, and Sheffield Hallem University.  Her translation from the French of Frank Smith's "Guantanamo" was a finalist for the 2015 PEN Literary Award, Poetry in Translation, and was named a book of the year in the "Huffington Post."

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions and Performances.

paragraph: Place has exhibited work at the MAK Center/Los Angeles; Denver Museum of Contemporary Art; the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art; The Power Plant, Toronto; the Broad Museum, East Lansing; and Cage 83 Gallery, New York. Performance venues have included the Getty Villa (Los Angeles); Museum of Modern Art, New York; Detroit Museum of Contemporary Art; Andre Bely Center, St. Petersburg, Russia; Kunstverein, Cologne; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Frye Art Gallery, Seattle; the Sorbonne; the De Young Museum, San Francisco; Garage (Berlin); The Hereford Salon (London); Galerie éof (Paris); Poetry & Poetics (University of Pennsylvania); The Poetry Foundation (Chicago); Rönnells antivariat (Stockholm); Renaissance Society Gallery (University of Chicago); Otis College of Art and Design (Los Angeles); Kelly Writer's House (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia); Pilot Series (Montreal); Culture, Arts, Media & Education Centre (Toronto); Les Cahiers de Colette (Paris); Double Change (Paris); St. Mark's Poetry Project (New York); Bowery Poetry Club (New York); The Shunt (London); Mercantile Library (New York); KGB Bar (New York); Pierre Menard Gallery (Cambridge, MA); San Francisco Public Library; New College (San Francisco); Small Press Traffic (San Francisco); Oakland Art Gallery; 21 Grand Gallery (Oakland); The Uferhallen (Berlin); The Smell (Los Angeles).

paragraph: Section::::Criticism.

paragraph: Statement of Facts

paragraph: Controversy around Place's "Tragodía" series began when literary critic Marjorie Perloff described the work as “a superb piece of conceptual writing,” and presented a summation of the project at the 2010 Rethinking Poetics conference held at Columbia University. A number of American poets subsequently debated the merit of the work through a number of blogs and online forums in response to Perloff's statements. Critic Steven Zultanski writes that Place, when asked to “explain the intent of her work [...] of course, refused to do so, which has partially allowed for the book’s retention of its initial provocative appeal.” Poet Juliana Spahr wrote: “Does Vanessa’s book mean to suggest that rape is largely a socio-economic problem?” In 2014, George Mason University Professor David Kaufmann wrote: “When Juliana Spahr asks about Place’s alliances and intentions — a question that the text raises by its very nature — there is no answer that Place could give that could close the gulf the book opens up before its audience. Not knowing what the author intends us to do with this stuff, we don’t know what to make of it. We are here. The victims, the perps, and the survivors — they are over there, in more ways than one.”

paragraph: Gone with the Wind

paragraph: Place also received criticism for a Twitter art project where she retyped the entire text from the 1936 novel "Gone with the Wind" in an effort to call attention to the novel's inherent racism, as part of a larger project, Gone with the Wind by Vanessa Place, designed to implicate questions of copyright, the ownership of cultural fictions, the ongoing nature of the white imaginary, and the function of antagonism in social media. According to Place's own artist statement about the project: The book's true love story is not between Rhett and Scarlett but white America's affair with self, a self that can only exist through owning property as the primary means of white supremacy."

paragraph: The Twitter art project included a stereotypical African American mammy image as its banner. A film still of Hattie McDaniel as the character Mammy from the film version of the book was used as the account's profile picture. While some have argued that the account was meant to scrutinize and call attention to stereotyping and racism in "Gone With the Wind", others accused it of being racist or insensitive itself, which resulted in calls "for University of Colorado Boulder to remove her from her summer teaching appointment, . . . that she be dis-invited from [an] upcoming Berkeley Poetry Conference," as well as a petition for Place's removal from the 2016 Association of Writers & Writing Programs (AWP) conference subcommittee.

paragraph: Subsequently, the Berkeley Poetry Conference was cancelled, AWP removed Place from the subcommittee to satisfy concerns from its membership, and the Whitney Museum of American Art cancelled a planned performance from Place.

paragraph: In her response to criticism surrounding the project, Place said: “I see art that’s sanitised, art that’s precious, art that’s playing safe, art for the market. People say they want transgression, that they’re looking for the radical edge, but I’m not so sure. There’s a certain amount of cruelty in what I do. There has to be. You have to touch nerves, otherwise it’s just entertainment.”

paragraph: Thomas Buttersworth

paragraph: Thomas Buttersworth (5 May 1768 – November 1842) was an English seaman of the Napoleonic wars period who became a marine painter. He produced works to commission, and was little exhibited during his lifetime.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Butterworth was born on the Isle of Wight. He enlisted in the Royal Navy in London in 1795, and served on HMS "Caroline" during the wars with France, before being invalided home from Menorca in 1800.

paragraph: The National Maritime Museum in London has 27 watercolours by him, several of which are mounted on sheets from 18th century printed signal and muster books. He went on to paint numerous naval battle scenes and pictures such as the ‘'Inshore Squadron off Cadiz in 1797'’ which are thought to show scenes he witnessed. On being appointed Marine Painter to the East India Company he painted ship portraits on commission. It had been thought that he died in 1830, but recent research has found that he painted Queen Victoria’s visit to Edinburgh in 1842 before he died in London later that year.

paragraph: His son James Edward Buttersworth (1817–1894) also became a maritime painter.

paragraph: Basuki Resobowo

paragraph: Basoeki Resobowo (Perfected Spelling: Basuki Resobowo; 1916 – 5 January 1999) was an Indonesian painter. Born to a transmigrant father in Sumatra, from a young age he showed interest in the visual arts but was taught to be a teacher. After a short time at a Taman Siswa school in Batavia (now Jakarta), he studied design and worked as a surveyor while producing sketches and book covers. He only acted in a single film, "Kedok Ketawa", but remained close to the acting community, first as a set designer during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies then for Perfini in the early 1950s.

paragraph: During the 1940s and 50s Resobowo became recognised as a painter, working with such artists as Trisno Sumardjo and Oesman Effandi. By the late 1950s he was head of the visual arts department of the Institute for the People's Culture. However, the political climate of Indonesia soon made Resobowo's leftist leanings dangerous, and he went into exile beginning in the 1960s, ultimately settling in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. There he wrote extensively on art until his death.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Resobowo was born to Prawiroatmojo and his wife, their second child, in 1916. Sources disagree as to where he was born. The Jakarta City Government's "Encyclopedia of Jakarta" states his place of birth as Palembang, West Sumatra, but Taman Ismail Marzuki's biography of the artists gives a birthplace of Bengkulu, with Palembang and Lampung as locations in which he lived as a child with his transmigrant family. As a child, he enjoyed drawing.

paragraph: In order to become a teacher, Resobowo was sent to live with his uncle in the capital of the Dutch East Indies, Batavia (now Jakarta). There he attended a Dutch-run school for indigenes, the Europesche Largere School. After graduating, in 1930 Resobowo was sent to live with another uncle and started his studies at a Dutch-run middle school, or MULO. However, in his second year he moved to Yogyakarta, where he completed his education in a Taman Siswa-run school and was primed to be a teacher. One of his classmates in Yogyakarta was Sindoesoedarsono Soedjojono, and the two often painted together.

paragraph: Resobowo returned to Batavia in 1933 and, for a short while, served as a teacher at a Taman Siswa school there. This return was only temporary, however, as between 1936 and 1938 he lived in Bandung, West Java, and studied design at a school established by the architect Ir. Rooseno. While in that city, Resobowo was active with the social organization Indonesia Muda, becoming the head of the Bandung Chapter and attending the group's 1937 conference in Surabaya.

paragraph: Section::::Developing career.

paragraph: In 1938, Resobowo again returned to Batavia, finding a house in the Tangkiwood area of the city, in which many of the domestic film industry's stars lived. There he met such actors as Roekiah and her husband Kartolo; Resobowo, together with S. Toetoer, drew a portrait of her. Over the next several years Resobowo served as a surveyor in areas such as Sawangan and Pamengpeuk. In the meantime, he remained active in the visual arts, becoming a member of the Indonesian Visual Artists' Association ( or PERSAGI) and designing book covers, including to Armijn Pane's translation of "Door Duisternis tot Licht" ("Out of the Darkness Comes the Light"), a collection of Kartini's letters.

paragraph: Union Films, a company established by ethnic Chinese businessmen, signed Resobowo to act in their first film, "Kedok Ketawa", in 1941. Resobowo was cast as the painter Basuki, who must work with the "Laughing Mask" in order to save his lover Minarsih from a lecherous rich man. The studio emphasised Resobowo's education in order to draw audiences. Although this film was a critical success, Union's subsequent releases — beginning with "Harta Berdarah" (1941) - did not include Resobowo.

paragraph: During the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, which lasted from 1942 and 1945, Resobowo spent time working for the visual arts division of the Cultural Centre (in Indonesian, ; in Japanese, ), where he was tasked with writing radio broadcasts regarding the visual arts. However, he left this position in order to handle stage decor for various acting troupes, including Bintang Surabaya, Fifi Young's Pagoda, and Tjahaja Timur. While doing the decor for these troupes he would often travel with them, and in his spare time he would sketch their stars. He won best painting at a Cultural Centre competition in 1943, and as such he was compared to Basuki Abdullah and Affandi.

paragraph: Section::::Indonesian independence.

paragraph: Indonesia proclaimed its independence on 17 August 1945, and Resobowo worked to spread this news. Together with M. Balfas, he designed posters related to Indonesian independence which he spread through the "kampung" of Jakarta (renamed during the occupation). He was also a member of the Menteng 31 group. However, when the returning Dutch colonial forces forced the republican government out of Jakarta in 1946, Resobowo left the city. He spent the remainder of the Indonesian National Revolution (1945–1949) in cities such as Yogyakarta, Madiun (where he sketched Lake Sarangan), and Sukabumi. When he was living in Madiun he worked with Sudjojono, Sudibio, and Trisno Sumardjo to establish the Young Indonesian Artists (, or SIM); he remained active with this group even after moving to Surakarta and Yogyakarta.

paragraph: After the end of the revolution, Resobowo worked regularly with Trisno Sumardjo, Oesman Effandi, and Zaini. The painters held exhibitions in several cities, including Yogyakarta in 1952, Padang, Medan, and Bali. The four, as well as several other artists, were also commissioned to sketch historical figures for schoolbooks by the Familij Sarekat Compagnij.

paragraph: Meanwhile, Resobowo joined Usmar Ismail's film company Perfini. Beginning with "Darah dan Doa" (1950), Resobowo became production designer; he also assisted Sitor Situmorang in polishing the script. With the company's next production, "Embun" (1951), Resobowo again worked on the script, the majority of which was penned by director D. Djajakusuma. For three further films, "Enam Djam di Djogdja" (1951), "Dosa Tak Berampun" (1951), and "Terimalah Laguku" (1952), he again served as artistic director. For his last film with the company, "Tamu Agung" (1955), Resobowo adapted Nikolai Gogol's "The Government Inspector" into an Indonesian context: the film focuses on the anticipation of the visit of a dignitary to a small isolated village in East Java.

paragraph: In 1955 Resobowo ran in the legislative election, running for the Communist Party of Indonesia (, or PKI). Towards the end of the 1950s, Resobowo was selected to head the visual arts department of the Institute for the People's Culture (, or Lekra), a leftists organisation active in the arts and literature. He also contributed articles on the visual arts to such magazines as "Budaya", "Harian Rakyat", "Indonesia", "Seniman", "Zaman Baru", and "Zenith".

paragraph: Section::::Life in exile and death.

paragraph: Amidst a background of an increasingly unstable political situation in Indonesia, including conflicts between leftists (such as the PKI and Lekra) and rightists such as the military, in 1962 Resobowo left the country for China. The failed G30S coup of 1965, which was blamed on the Communists and followed by an anti-communist purge, left the artist unable to return to Indonesia. He lived in China until 1962, before moving to Germany and ultimately Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

paragraph: During his over thirty years of exile, Resobowo wrote extensively. He published a graphic novel in two volumes, titled "Cut Nyak Din", about the Acehnese warrior. He also wrote an autobiography, "Riwayat Hidupku", as well as books such as "Bercermin Di Muka Kaca" and "Karmiatun". He never abandoned his leftist leanings, writing in his 1994 book "Seniman, Seni, dan Masyarakat" ("Art, Artists, and Society"; the title taken from a 1947 essay by Sudjojono) that politics and art were inseparable, and that artists could only truly serve their society through Marxism. He likewise remained politically active, participating in a hunger strike in 1992 against the threatened executions of Ruslan Wijayasastra and other former PKI members.

paragraph: Resobowo was only able to return to Indonesia in 1998, when he visited the country and met many of its artists. He returned to the Netherlands and died in Amsterdam on 5 January 1999, leaving two children and an ex-wife.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The poet Chairil Anwar dedicated two poems to Resobowo. The first, "Sorga" ("Heaven"), was written in Malang on 25 February 1947 and included in Anwar's collection "Deru Tjampur Debu". The second, "Sajak Buat Basuki Resobowo" ("A Poem for Basuki Resobowo"), was penned three days later and included in the anthology "Tiga Menguak Takdir". When HB Jassin compiled "Chairil Anwar Pelopor Angkatan '45", these two poems were combined as "Dua Sajak Buat Basuki Resobowo". English translations of these poems were published by Burton Raffel in 1970.

paragraph: Monash University describes "Tamu Agung" as "brilliantly interweav[ing] modern political discourse (including a militant feminism that appears to have emerged with the Indonesian revolution) with archaic Javanese rhetoric, taken from the narratives of the Wayang (traditional Javanese shadow play)".

paragraph: Resobowo's portrait of Soetomo is held in the Presidential Palace in Jakarta. The portrait was completed on government commission.

paragraph: Dominique Martin Dupuy (1767 – 21 October 1798) was a French revolutionary brigadier general.

paragraph: The son of a baker from Toulouse, he engaged in the "Régiment d'Artois" before the French Revolution. In 1791, he was volunteer in the 1st battalion of the Haute-Garonne regiment, where he was soon elected junior lieutenant-colonel. He took part in the repression of royalist insurrections in Ardèche, then joined the Army of Italy, distinguishing himself at the battle of Lonato, where he commanded the 32nd Line Infantry Demi-brigade. Military governor of Milan in 1797, he accompanied Napoleon Bonaparte in the expedition to Egypt, where he wrote, shortly after Pope Pius VI's death : "We are fooling Egyptians with our pretended interest for their religion; neither Bonaparte nor we believe in this religion more than we did in Pius the Defunct's one". He was murdered during the Revolt of Cairo (1798). He had never ceased to correspond with the Jacobins from Toulouse.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and family.

paragraph: While Hidemitsu's date of birth is not known for certain, some say he was born either sometime between 1535 and 1537, or as late as 1557. Hidemitsu was the son of Tōyama Kageyuki (lord of Myōchi Castle) and Miyake Takasada (lord of Hirose Castle in Mikawa Province). He first succeeded to his father, taking the name Tōyama Kageharu (common name Rokurōzaemon); then he succeeded to his mother's birth family under the name Miyake Yaheiji, and then, marrying one of Akechi Mitsuhide's daughters, took the name Akechi Hidemitsu.

paragraph: Section::::Service to Mitsuhide and death.

paragraph: Following his marriage to Akechi Mitsuhide's daughter (who had been formerly married to Araki Murashige), Hidemitsu was deeply trusted by his master, and served in the vanguard of the Akechi armies frequently. He led the attack on Battle of Honnō-ji which killed Oda Nobunaga, and became a legend for his rapid crossing of Lake Biwa to get from Otsu to Sakamoto on horseback after the loss of Battle of Yamazaki and the death of Mitsuhide. His men set fire to Sakamoto Castle and killed their families and themselves to follow their master to the grave.

paragraph: While much of the Akechi clan was destroyed at Sakamoto Castle, Hidemitsu's sons Miyake Shigetoshi and Tōyama Tarōgorō survived. Shigetoshi served Terasawa Katataka at the Shimabara Uprising and was killed by the rebel forces under Amakusa Shirō, while Tarōgorō is remembered as the ancestor of the famous nineteenth-century political activist Sakamoto Ryōma.

paragraph: Alfred L. Rives

paragraph: Alfred Landon Rives (born in March 25, 1830, Paris, France - February 27, 1903 Castle Hill, Virginia) was an American engineer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Alfred Rives was the son of William Cabell and Judith (Walker) Rives. His father, who was among the most distinguished citizens of Virginia, was the United States minister to France, and he also filled the same position in 1848.

paragraph: Rives was taught by private tutors until fourteen years of age, then became a student of Concord Academy. At the age of sixteen he entered the Virginia Military Institute, and graduated in two years, ranking sixth in a class of twenty-four.

paragraph: Being proficient in engineering, he determined to adopt that as a profession, and in 1848 entered the University of Virginia, where he remained one session, then accompanied his father to France. After a year devoted to the study of mathematics and French, he successfully passed an examination for entrance in the Government Engineering School of France, "Ecole des ponts et Chaussees." After graduation in 1854, he was offered a position upon the great French railroad, "Du Nord," but instead returned to the United States, where he served in the engineering corps of the Virginia Midland railway.

paragraph: Later Rives accepted a position in Washington under Captain Montgomery C. Meigs of the United States Engineering Corps. He served for a year as assistant engineer of the United States Capitol and Post Office buildings. He was appointed Secretary of the Interior under President Pierce, to report upon the best location for a bridge across the Potomac. He presented details and estimates for the project in the 1857 "Congressional records". The report was favorably received, and Rives was selected to make calculations and estimates for this Cabin John bridge, which was built under his supervision.

paragraph: He returned to Virginia, his native state, upon its secession from the Union. Three days later he received the commission of captain of engineers from the state of Virginia, and was directed to report to Colonel Andrew Talcott, at that time chief engineer of the state. Rives was assigned to duty on the lower Virginia peninsula, and upon the resignation of Colonel Talcott was soon made acting chief engineer of the state of Virginia.

paragraph: Later, Rives was appointed acting chief of the Engineer Bureau of the Confederate States, a position he held until the close of the Civil War. He was promoted successively to be major, lieutenant-colonel and colonel of engineers.

In 1868 was division engineer of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. In 1870 he was appointed chief engineer of the Mobile & Birmingham railroad. He was engineer in charge of the South & North Alabama railroad and part of the Louisville & Nashville system, which he completed in 1873. He was offered by Gen. William T. Sherman, for the Khedive of Egypt, the position of chief engineer of the civil works of Egypt, which position he declined to accept and of chief engineer and general superintendent of the Mobile & Ohio railroad.

paragraph: Dhul-Kifl

paragraph: Dhul-Kifl, or Zul-Kifl () literally meaning ""Possessor of the Fold"") (c. 600 BCE) is an Islamic prophet who has been identified with various Hebrew Bible prophets, most commonly Ezekiel. It is believed that he lived for roughly 75 years and that he preached in what is modern day Iraq. Dhul-Kifl is believed to have been exalted by God to a high station in life and is chronicled in the Qur'an as a man of the "Company of the Good". Although not much is known of Dhul-Kifl from other historical sources, all the writings from classical commentators, such as Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Kathir, speak of Dhul-Kifl as a prophetic, saintly man who remained faithful in daily prayer and worship.

paragraph: Section::::Dhul-Kifl in the Qur'an.

paragraph: Dhul-Kifl has been mentioned twice in the Holy Qur'an, in the following Qur'anic verses:

paragraph: In both cases, Dhū'l-Kifl is mentioned in the context of a list of Qur'anic prophets, including many others not mentioned in the ayat quoted above.

paragraph: Section::::Etymology.

paragraph: The name "Dhul Kifl" literally means "the one with a "kifl"", using a type of name where ذُو "dhū" ("possessor of") precedes some characteristically associated feature. Such names were used of other notable figures in the Qur'an, for example ذُوٱلْنُّون "Dhū 'l-Nūn /" ذَا ٱلْنُّون "Dhā 'l-Nūn" ""the One with the Fish"", referring to Jonah, and ذُوٱلْقَرْنَيْن "Dhū'l-Qarnayn" / "/" ذَا ٱلْنُّون "Dhā 'l-Qarnayn" ""He of the Two Horns" Kifl" is an archaic Arabic word meaning "double" or "duplicate", from a root meaning "to double" or "to fold"; it was also used for a fold of cloth. The name is generally understood to mean "one of a double portion". Some scholars have suggested that the name means "the man with the double recompense" or rather "the man who received recompense twice over", that is to say that it is a title for Job, as his family was returned to him according to the Qur'an and the Book of Job.

paragraph: Section::::Identifications.

paragraph: Section::::Identifications.:Ezekiel.

paragraph: Some are of the opinion that Dhul Kifl could be Ezekiel. When the exile, monarchy, and state were annihilated, a political and national life was no longer possible. In conformity with the two parts of his book, his personality and his preaching are alike twofold, and the title Dhul Kifl means "the one to double" or "to fold".

paragraph: Abdullah Yusuf Ali, in his Qur'anic commentary says:

paragraph: Al Kifl (Arabic: بن الكفل; "ibn ul-Kifl") is a town in southeastern Iraq on the Euphrates River, between Najaf and Al Hillah. Variant names for the shrine within Al Kifl are: "Dhu'l Kifl Shrine, Marqad Dhu'l Kifl, Qubbat Dhu'l Kifl, Qabr al-Nabi Dhu al-Kifl, Dhu al-Kifl Shrine, Zul Kifl Shrine, Qabr Hazqiyal, Hazqiyal Shrine. Hazqiyal" is the Arabic transliteration of the Hebrew "Y'hezqel", which was mostly utilized by Sephardi Jews after they adopted Arabic. This indicates that the Jews equated Ezekiel and Dhul-Kifl, and Muslim exegetes followed suit. The Iraqi authorities assert that in 1316 (715–16 AH) the Ilkhanid Sultan Uljaitu acquired the rights of guardianship over the tomb from the Jewish community. Consequently, the shrine was renamed according to the Islamic nomenclature for the same prophet. Sultan Uljaitu added to the structure by building a mosque and a minaret. As well he restored the shrine implementing some alterations made clear by comparing its present state with pre-Ilkhanid travelers' descriptions. The site remained a Muslim pilgrimage place until the beginning of the nineteenth century when Menahim Ibn Danyal, a wealthy Jew, successfully converted it back to a Jewish site and restored it. The minaret remained as the only witness to its tenure as an Islamic site. Although the mosque and minaret were built in the 14th-century, the antiquity of the shrine and grave cannot be determined.

paragraph: Section::::Identifications.:Others.

paragraph: Although the identification with Ezekiel is the most commonly held, Dhul-Kifl has also been identified variously with Joshua, Obadiah, and Isaiah.

paragraph: Some, including Ahmadis, hold the opinion that Dhul-Kifl was Buddha ("the one of Kapeel"). As the sound "P" does not exist in Arabic the Quran would mention him as Kifil.

paragraph: William Woodbridge

paragraph: William Woodbridge (August 20, 1780October 20, 1861) was a U.S. statesman in the states of Ohio and Michigan and in the Michigan Territory prior to statehood. He served as the second Governor of Michigan and a United States Senator from Michigan.

paragraph: Section::::Early life in Connecticut and politics in Ohio.

paragraph: Woodbridge was born in Norwich, Connecticut, and as a child moved with his family to Marietta, Ohio in about 1790. He began the study of law in Marietta and developed a close friendship with Lewis Cass. He returned to Connecticut to complete his law studies and, after returning to Ohio, was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1806 where he began a practice in Marietta, Ohio. In June 1806, he married Juliana Trumbull, the daughter of John Trumbull.

paragraph: He was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives in 1807, and was elected to the Ohio Senate in 1808, serving from 1809 to 1814. He was also the prosecuting attorney for New London (now Washington County, Ohio) from 1808 to 1814.

paragraph: Section::::Politics in Michigan Territory.

paragraph: In 1814, Woodbridge's old friend Lewis Cass, who had become Governor of the Michigan Territory, encouraged him to accept appointments as Secretary of the Territory and as the collector of customs at the Port of Detroit. On October 15, 1814, Woodbridge reluctantly accepted the appointments from President James Madison and moved to Detroit, Michigan. During the frequent absences of Cass, Woodbridge served as acting Governor. In 1817 became a trustee of the University of Michigan.

paragraph: Under the rules of Territorial government, the Territory did not have representation in the U.S. Congress. Woodbridge influenced Congress to pass legislation authorizing the selection of a non-voting Delegate to Congress. Woodbridge became Michigan Territory's first Delegate, serving in the 16th Congress from March 4, 1819, to his resignation on August 9, 1820 due to illness in his family. Solomon Sibley succeeded Woodbridge as Delegate. He remained the Territorial Secretary while Delegate.

paragraph: As a Delegate, Woodbridge worked for the passage of legislation that recognized old French land titles in the Territory according to the terms of the previously signed treaties. He also secured approval for the construction of government roads from the Great Miami River to Detroit, and from Detroit to Chicago. He was also a strong advocate for Michigan's claim to the Toledo Strip, which was disputed with the state of Ohio.

paragraph: In 1828, he was appointed one of three Territorial Supreme Court judges by President John Quincy Adams, succeeding James Witherell and serving in this capacity until 1832 when his term expired and President Andrew Jackson chose a replacement who was not from the Whig party as Woodbridge was.

paragraph: Section::::Politics and Governorship in the State of Michigan.

paragraph: Woodbridge was a delegate to the State constitutional convention in 1835 and a member of the Michigan State Senate, 1838–1839.
