Clio Lieberman wrote a new blog post On Blog Posting, Memory, and Performance in the group American Studies: 8 years, 5 months ago

Last week, Aidan and I talked before class about blog posting. He brought up an idea I thought was quite cool—writing a blog post about blog posting and memory. On Monday, I asked for his consent to write about t […]
Clio Lieberman wrote a new blog post “Trash” and the Body Politic in the group American Studies: 8 years, 5 months ago

According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the etymology of the noun trash is “late 14c., “thing of little use or value, waste, refuse, dross,” perhaps from a Scandinavian source (compare Old Norse tros ” […]
Clio Lieberman edited the blog post Janelle Monae’s “Make Me Feel” and Commemorating the Dead in the group American Studies: 8 years, 5 months ago

In Friday’s class, we took some time to read a few blog posts. I’d wanted to write a blog post about remembering and forgetting the dead, and both Spencer and Helen’s blog posts struck me as texts I wanted to pu […]
Clio Lieberman edited the blog post Expression of Culture, Empowerment, and Memory and Forgetting Through Dance in the group American Studies: 8 years, 5 months ago

Throughout the course, and in Dr. DeFrantz’s workshop, we have learned about the power of dance and expression. Dance is powerful in the context of memory and forgetting—dance helps people mark their culture and […]
Clio Lieberman edited the blog post Remembering and Forgetting Incarcerated Children in the group American Studies: 8 years, 5 months ago

I’ve written two blog posts on children as paratext and effigies, and I hope to continue the topic of children’s reduced autonomy in this post. After reading the “Of Levees and Prisons” chapter in Unfathomable City, I wanted to write a blog post on juvenile detention, control, and the even further reduced autonomy incarcerated children face. <…[Read more]
Clio Lieberman edited the blog post Waterbearer by Lorna Simpson (1986) in the group American Studies: 8 years, 6 months ago

A few weeks ago, I went to the Albright-Knox and saw an exhibition titled “We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965-1985,” and one piece that stood out to me was Waterbearer (1986) by Lorna Simpson. The subject of the piece is a black woman who is pouring water out of two jugs—one plastic, one metal. I’ve inserted images of the piece b…[Read more]
Clio Lieberman wrote a new blog post Children: The Interplay Between Effigy and Paratext in the group American Studies: 8 years, 7 months ago

A trend that I’ve noticed in the physical classroom so far is the problem of reading paratext out loud—some people skip over the paratext, while other people don’t. Paratext is outside the main body of the text, […]
Clio Lieberman wrote a new blog post Children’s Culture and Children as Effigies in the group American Studies: 8 years, 7 months ago

One of the things that struck me most at the beginning of the semester was how Beth pointed out that “make-out spots” aren’t included on maps, which got me thinking about how children’s culture is not recogni […]
Clio Lieberman wrote a new blog post Partnership, Compulsion, and Risk in the group American Studies: 8 years, 9 months ago

As Butler so succinctly writes in “Bloodchild,” “[t]here is risk… in dealing with a partner” (26). However, there is also risk in not dealing with a partner. Here I define a partner as any person with whom one […]
Clio Lieberman wrote a new blog post Butler and the Pronoun “It” in the group American Studies: 8 years, 10 months ago

It’s been a while since we finished the Lilith’s Brood trilogy in class, but I keep thinking about the ooloi gender and using the pronoun “it.” I think I struggled with the concept of using the pronoun “it” fo […]
