▼ This thesis examines the personal and political relationships between critic Félix Fénéon and anarchist artists in the late 19th century. Fénéon’s assessment of an artist’s commitment to anarcho-communism influenced his criticism, most notably in his treatment of Georges Seurat, the leader of artists that Fénéon called Neo-Impressionists. When Seurat was in Fénéon’s favor, the critic fabricated meetings with the artist explaining Seurat’s supposed scientific application of color. When Seurat did not join fellow Neo-Impressionists in supporting a radical cause, Fénéon did not review several important paintings in Seurat’s short career.

Fashionable Modernity Agency and Spectacle in James Tissot's Portrait of the Marquise De Miramon.

▼ In 1866, James Tissot painted the full-length portrait of Therese Feuillant, the Marquise de Miramon, in her private room at the Chateau de Paulhac. The work was originally intended for the family's home until Tissot asked to borrow and submit the painting to the 1867 Universal Exposition. This massive world fair demonstrated Emperor Napoleon III's political prowess by highlighting Paris' modern industry and consumerism, and the Marquise was one of the few paintings chosen by the selective jury to represent French art that year. Contemporary art historians have not studied the importance of the Marquise in relation to Tissot's body of work during the 1860s. Despite the avowedly feminine fashion and domestic setting of her portrait, I argue that the Marquise's pose and gaze, as well as the collection of eighteenth century and Japanese art on display in her room, demonstrates her elite lineage and intellectual agency beyond the nineteenth century norms for women.

▼ Since Honoré Daumier’s paintings were first publically shown at Durand-Ruel in 1878, critics and art historians have been drawing stylistic comparisons between Daumier’s paintings and those by artists of the Rococo. Set in a view of Daumier as a staunchly and strictly political artist, few scholars have attempted to further contextualize these works in relation to the Rococo, a predominating version of which emphasizes monarchical and elite life and appears at odds with Daumier’s Republican commitments. Yet for both Daumier and for artists of the Rococo, the distinction between art and politics was not so resolute. Beginning in the seventeenth century when Peter Paul Rubens and Roger de Piles brought the debate between color and line into the French context, the use of loose brushwork and effects of color—for which both Daumier and many Rococo artists were noted—carried political implications, as artists employing “Rubenist” coloris stood outside of the Academy, the traditional artistic, and at the time political, institution. This independent stance continued into the eighteenth-century, when many Rococo artists such as Antoine Watteau, François Boucher, and Jean-Honoré Fragonard continued to explore (to varying degrees) this modern, anti-establishment style, and to work for independent patrons of non-noble classes. For these artists, the style of the goû
t-moderne could signify autonomy from traditional art practices as they were allowed to explore new genres and techniques, while 7 for patrons, purchasing such works might signify a financial and intellectual freedom from the French court. This accordance between paint handling and artistic/political freedom continued into the nineteenth century. It was reinstated and reinterpreted by artists and collectors particularly during the Romantic era and the Second Empire, the prime periods in which Daumier lived and worked. Moreover, institutional resistance did not just take the form of paint. Considering Daumier in relation to a tradition of Rococo subversion in print and in caricature, such as in the work of Charles-Germain de Saint-Aubin, reveals a shared Rococo spirit in his lithographic work and further complicates scholarly distinctions between Daumier’s paintings as purely aesthetic and his lithographs as purely political. This thesis takes seriously Daumier’s engagement with the Rococo, and does so by exploring—through research in context, aesthetics, and provenance—his involvement with eighteenth-century influences, style, audience, and humor. This expanded notion of Daumier as a historically involved artist who brings the past “to his own time,” reveals in Daumier a more nuanced and complex involvement and thinking about art and politics from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century.

▼ Rococo paintings in early eighteenth century France generally depicted two types of love: gallant and libertine. While gallant paintings represented love as a playful game of eternal courtship, libertinage focused on physical eroticism. These two types of rococo love began to decline with the rise of Rousseauian love that emerged during the mid-eighteenth century. "Rousseauian love" is an ideal of everlasting love based on emotions, and consisted of two types: passionate romance and tempered, conjugal love. Ideally, Rousseauian love would combine the elements of these two types, allowing passion and reason to intermingle. According to Enlightenment thinkers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Denis Diderot, these types of love were superior to the gallantry and libertinage associated with the French aristocracy. They presented rococo and Rousseauian love as incompatible. Yet, despite these claims, Jean-Honore Fragonard unexpectedly used the rococo style and compositions to portray Rousseauian concepts throughout the mid to late eighteenth century. By providing examples of this practice, I demonstrate that rococo and Rousseauian love were in a transitional period in eighteenth century France. This meant that the use of the rococo style did not automatically contradict the Rousseauian values within the paintings. Instead, I view these paintings as having a spectrum of different styles and concepts associated with rococo and Rousseauian love that can ambiguously coexist in a single painting. ( en )

▼ This thesis addresses the legacy of the revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg, whose controversial life and politics have generated interest among Germans since her 1919 murder. Luxemburg’s body itself has become a cultural artifact, a battleground on which German identities have repeatedly been contested. One of the most heated battles has been fought over Luxemburg’s role as a feminist icon. Because of her assumed “lack of participation” in the women’s movements of her own time, Luxemburg was often marginalized by women’s history. It was only in the 1970s and 1980s that second-wave feminists began to argue that Luxemburg was indeed a feminist icon, not because of her activist role within the women’s movement, but because of the example she set in her everyday life. American artist May Stevens and German filmmaker Margarethe von Trotta, with whom this thesis is concerned, are two such feminists. ( en )

▼ “Modernist Totalities and the Aesthetics of Social Possibility” examines American epic poetry from 1920s to the 1960s as a series of experiments that interpret and express the historical shifts occurring in social life: cultural, technological, intellectual, and economic. I focus specifically on American epic poetry because in both the poetry and the aesthetic theories written by the poets we find a conversation regarding poetry’s ability to question existing social forms and imagine new social configurations. Interestingly, aesthetics and politics lock in an almost perfect antagonism where social futures, and their arguments pro or con, reactionary or progressive, become imagined within the aesthetic theories and poetic objects themselves. The figures I use to trace these conversations include Ezra Pound’s vorticism of the 1910s and 1920s, William Carlos Williams’ experience of the ideology of America and uneven development in New Jersey in the 1930s and 1940s, Louis Zukofsky’s response to cultural elitism and anti- Semitism through his Marxism of the 1930s through the 1950s, and finally Charles Olson’s position as a hinge between modernism and postmodernism as exemplified by his stress on community, both at Black Mountain College and as a citizen of Gloucester. By focusing on these figures, I argue, we see the full arch of modernism in a two-fold manner. First, we see how various social and cultural events functioned as so many detonators for aesthetic production. Aesthetic production overlaps with world production: common among all the epic practitioners is the now seemingly strange ideology that aesthetic forms are directly linked to possible forms of life. Second, and as a consequence of the first, the very ideology of the “aesthetic” itself becomes the arena where disagreements about political, social, and cultural futures take place. Or rather, modernist aesthetics becomes a pivot where dissensus finds continued articulation. I argue that this dissensus is not a mere disagreement about formal poetic principles, or about incorporating certain positive or negative ideologies into the content of an artwork, but about art’s function as a method of social critique, political representation, and imagination.

Crossing Boundary Lines Religion, Revolution, and Nationalism on the French-German Border, 1789-1840.

▼ Typical historical constructions like chronology, geography, and faith are helpful in categorizing historical moments, but they are rarely broad enough to properly place any single individual or to make sense of the decisions that they make. Lives are lived at the intersection of multiple, competing identities that are regularly rewritten by time. My dissertation embraces this complexity by examining three families living on the border of France and Germany during the French Revolution and how they reconstruct religious, national, legal, and chronological boundary lines to suit their own needs. The French Revolution was a critical juncture because it opened up new opportunities and ways of thinking that many embraced. Yet even as it attempted to erase older dividing lines, it established new categories that were malleable and unreliable. Each case examined in this work highlights this duality of accessibility and restriction, of stability and uncertainty. As journalists, educators, lawyers, and religious leaders, the people I investigate actively pursued goals that would directly influence their local communities, their emerging nations, and the world beyond. The routes they selected were dramatic, like the case of Samuel Marx, Trier’s rabbi, and his brothers Heinrich, the father of Karl Marx, and Cerf. They accepted Napoleon’s call for social and occupational integration only to find professional doors to advancement barred by prejudice. Some cases, like Catholic Romantic leader Joseph von Go¨rres and his brother-in-law Franz von Lassaulx, dean of Napoleon’s new law school in Coblenz, reinvented themselves politically and religiously, often switching directions multiple times. For others, like Trier’s first bishop Josef von Hommer, the radical nature of debates left his carefully constructed compromises open to criticism from all sides. Each chapter deals with an issue with which these gentlemen had to grapple: visits to Paris, life in a border region, shifting definitions of law, religious conversion, and interfaith marriage. Though their answers were quite different, they were all boundary crossers who recognized that they had the ability to rewrite history and did so with astonishing variety. ( en )

▼ “Perilous Connections” examines the expansion, integration and consolidation of the railroad network in the American South in the 1880s and 90s. From 1880 to 1890, the mileage of railroads in the region doubled, and by 1890, nine out of every ten southerners lived in a county with a railroad. At the same time that construction crews physically expanded the network, organizational innovations by railroad companies served to improve efficiency and further connect the region’s disparate areas. This project traces the various meanings southerners placed on the speed, circulation, connectivity, standardization and consolidation of the rail network. These values were both essential to the conquest of nineteenth century modernity and to the triumph of capitalism as both an economic system and a way of thinking. Though these forces were certainly at work on the South before the 1880s, the rapid expansion of the railroad network, and new connections to outside capital make these two decades crucial in the spread of these values. For the local boosters and capitalists behind these new railroad projects, the railroad served the ultimate symbol of progress, as proof that a “New South” had risen, but the railroad also introduced new anxieties and dangers to southern life. 9 In moments of crisis – terrifying epidemics that spread quickly over railroads, tragic train wrecks, spectacular train robberies and the sudden consolidation of the J.P. Morgan-backed Southern Railway – a wide variety of southerners contested the values of connectivity and circulation. These shocks to the system show how both white and black southerners fought the logic of the network and points to how historians have underestimated the extent to which white and black southerners feared and resisted new railroad connections. The distinctiveness of the South – in terms of cultural factors like the lingering impact of the Civil War, race, environmental conditions, or structural economic flaws – led to unique results for railroad development in the region. But in a final twist, the mythology of the New South and southern cultural tendencies ironically would in the end, help ameliorate the anxieties of the railroad and normalize the expansion of capitalism into the region.

▼ This essay proposes a history about maps, the interests behind their (re)production, and the consequences they generate. Particularly, this is a story about one of the largest mapmaking and map dissemination projects in the history of the world ? a moment which literally re-defined Germany and emphasized the value of cartography to the governments, corporations, and people operating within its borders (and sometimes, problematically, on them). My focus, then, is on the production of maps during World War II and the reproduction of German mapped space after the war. I investigate this reproduction through both the postwar American occupation of West Germany and the relationship between the West German government and public relations firms. I also discuss the importance of postwar map dissemination and the role government agencies (such as the Army Map Service) and public relations firms played in distributing particular cartographies. I argue that Germany serves as a perfect historical example for studying and understanding the fluid and narrative nature of maps because of its unique cartographic history, the constant spatial (re)negotiations it has consistently grappled with, the radical shift in cartographic control it experienced after losing the war, and the re-production of its space by an occupying military force.

▼ 'Working with the Body' examines representations of labouring bodies in circulation amongst working people from the 1830s to the end of the nineteenth century. It traces the mediating role of the literary in positioning the labouring body as a central signifier in the formation and destabilization of nineteenth-century working people's subjectivities. I argue that both literatures produced for and composed by working people construct working-class interiority by separating subjectivity from the labouring body that performs physical work. A nuanced relation of possession or denial of possession towards bodies that do manual labour informs working people's understanding of their own class, race and gender identity. The ownership of the body or its suppression develops importance as a contested zone of meaning in liberal discourses and working-class texts alike so that the ability to possess, exchange, critique, present or deny any relation to labouring bodies defines the liberal working-class subject. Such a subject/body duality results in a continuous flux between the attribution of interiority and the denial of interiority, production of the liberal individual and the production of mere bodies. This separation of subject and body is unstable, threatening to collapse into each other, so that the process of separation has to be constantly reinforced. The dissertation's contrapuntal structure places middle-class texts against working-class texts. Chapter 2 traces anxieties surrounding labouring bodies in Elizabeth Gaskell's 'Mary Barton' and Frances Trollope's 'Michael Armstrong.' Chapter 3 discusses the depiction of colonized labouring bodies and bodies of European marginalized peoples in the 'Penny Magazine' in the context of imperialism. Chapter 4 considers commodification of poor bodies in G.W.M. Reynolds' 'The Mysteries of London' as aesthetic objects and as dead bodies. Chapter 5 reads the autobiographies of domestic servants Rose Allen, Mary Ashford, Florence White, Mrs. Layton, and 'Factory Girl' Ellen Johnston juxtaposed with Charlotte Bronte's novel 'Jane Eyre' discussing how tropes of the body used seamlessly by the fictional Jane remain unavailable to these women so that the body and manual labour is suppressed. Chapter 6 discusses Hannah Cullwick's use of the sentimental tradition and the pornographic imagination in her diaries to foreground her body. ( en )

▼ My work is about the first two generations of Chinese and Japanese Americans who married whites in the U.S. West between 1880 and 1954. It was a time when interracial marriage was illegal in most of the states. From two major archival sources?the Survey of Race Relations, 1924?1927, and records about Japanese American internees during World War II?, my work finds that more than two hundred Chinese and Japanese Americans and their white spouses could circumvent miscegenation laws and lived as legally married couples in the U.S. West before the 1950s.

▼ Abstract of Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of the
University of
Florida in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 'OUR LADY OF THE RIVERS': MARJORIE HARRIS CARR, SCIENCE, GENDER, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISM By Margaret F. (Peggy) Macdonald May 2010 Chair: Louise Newman Major: History This dissertation is the first scholarly biography of Marjorie Harris Carr, who led one of the United States' most influential grassroots environmental movements beginning in 1962. For thirty-five years, Carr struggled to stop construction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' 107-mile Cross
Florida Barge Canal, which would have linked the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean, and to restore the dammed Ocklawaha River Valley to its pre-canal state. Her campaign coincided with the emergence of a national environmental movement that blended the science of ecology with a wave of potent environmental legislation signed into law by President Richard Nixon. Through
Florida Defenders of the Environment (F.D.E.), a coalition of volunteer scientific, legal, and economic experts from the
University of
Florida and other institutions, Carr demonstrated that the barge canal represented the conservation ethos of a bygone era. Work on a cross-state ship canal first started in the 1930s as a means of providing economic relief during the Great Depression. Construction stopped when World War II commanded the nation's economic and military resources. The canal remained in a state of suspended animation after Congress officially authorized the project in 1942 but failed to appropriate funds for construction. The project was resurrected in the 1960s as a shallower barge canal that would follow the same path as the 1930s ship canal. Plans called for the completion of five locks and three dams, plus the dredging of a twelve-foot-deep channel across the center of the state. The Ocklawaha River would be dammed at two points, and the St. Johns and Withlacoochee Rivers would also be altered significantly. Carr and
Florida Defenders of the Environment demonstrated that the canal was a pork-barrel project that was neither economically nor environmentally sound. Canal boosters maintained that the canal would foster improved economic activity along the canal route, but F.D.E.'s economists accused the Corps of Engineers of fabricating an unrealistic benefit-to-cost ratio based upon incomplete and inaccurate data. In addition to proving that there was no economic justification for the canal, F.D.E. challenged the Corps of Engineers' nineteenth-century conservation ethos, which viewed the environment as a collection of natural resources to be manipulated and exploited by humans for human benefit alone. The Ocklawaha River Valley, which lay in the path of the Cross
Florida Barge Canal, merited preservation as a unique regional ecosystem that supported a diverse variety of native flora and fauna, F.D.E. maintained. The Corps of Engineers had failed to include the loss of this environmental asset in its economic…
