Mary Rutigliano wrote a new blog post Looking at Folk: Black Rural Cultural Production and White Appropriation in the group American Studies: 7 years, 3 months ago

To my knowledge, I’ve not had a professor or anyone in a position of authority in a classroom (where sincere questioning of power structures and imagining of new futures has happened) that has been visibly rural u […]
Mary Rutigliano wrote a new blog post Folk Digest in the group American Studies: 7 years, 4 months ago

I enjoy folk music, but my enjoyment wasn’t fully contextualized until I took Music and Ideas: Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger with Jim Kimball last fall. The class gave roots to Folk’s heritage in Sorrow/Freedom […]
Mary Rutigliano wrote a new blog post What the Middle Ages is teaching me about how the rich relate in the group American Studies: 7 years, 4 months ago

I’m in Lydia Kertz’s class ENGL 466: Medieval Romance and Its Afterlives, and have found that studying the often-derided genre has developed my analysis of power and legislation of institutions that we still […]
Mary Rutigliano wrote a new blog post Hoping this connection isn’t too cheesy in the group American Studies: 7 years, 6 months ago

Our conversations on lines with Lytton gave us a lot to mull over, but I wasn’t really sure what it was going to do in my life beyond that. I’m not much of a poet. I was at work the next day where I’m in charge […]

Mary Rutigliano wrote a new blog post Relevant Silliness and Available Actions in the group American Studies: 9 years, 4 months ago

This video crossed my mind in class yesterday, and I giggled at the thought of it on the blog. While Silly Songs with Larry are goofy, Larry’s situation is reminiscent of the conversations we’ve been h […]
Mary Rutigliano edited the blog post Current: Definitions and Cross-Lingual Musings in the group American Studies: 9 years, 6 months ago

In class on the 17th, we looked at pictures and articles the Steven J. Baum law firm’s Halloween party. One of the sides that stood out to me (find it here). It says “*!$%^&( foreclosure! I’m current!!” It prompted me to think about the word current, its interdisciplinary use as well as its connections to Spanish.

Throughout the semester, we…[Read more]
Mary Rutigliano edited the blog post Survival and Selfishness (and other ramblings) in the group American Studies: 9 years, 7 months ago

I was stuck with the documentary we watched in class. I’m also sure that mine wasn’t a singular reaction. One moment that stood apart from the others was when Mr. Gettridge’s daughter wouldn’t tell him the exact date of his wife’s homecoming. It seemed like a great surprise, then June Cross told us that he’d an agreement with Anderson Cooper of C…[Read more]
