    Jean Young And Greg Miller's Venus

    The Articles written by Jean Young and Greg Miller both focus in what Suzan-Lori Parks intentions were when writing the play Venus. After reading both articles I am siding with Jean Young’s article, "The Re-Objectification and Re-Commodification or Saartjie Baartman in Suzan-Lori Parks's Venus" that Parks is re-objectifying Saartjie Baartman. Throughout this article it explains how Baartman is portrayed as a free women able to make her own decisions, but this is wrong because Baartman is actually a victim. This shows how the play continues to objectify Baartman. Later in the article Young states, “Parks's stage representation in Venus creates the illusion that Baartman was a free and liberated woman who enjoyed her status as a sex object and/or…

    The Diary of a Young Girl(181-210)

    Early yesterday morning, I saw that Cecilia Kang at the Washington Post had a story up about the years-long fight for white spaces entitled: Tech, telecom giants take sides as FCC proposes large public WiFi networks. It struck me as odd, because so much in the article seemed... wrong or misleading. The main part about efforts to finally do something with the old TV spectrum isn't anything new at all. We first wrote about the FCC "proposing" this back in 2004 and have covered it a few times since. The FCC has been trying to use some of that TV spectrum for better, more efficient and more useful endeavors. It's been an ongoing battle that feels like it's never going to end. The short version is that TV broadcasters got a ton of free spectrum many years ago (just look at how giant chunks of the spectrum chart belong to TV broadcasters). A big part of the move to digital TV was to force broadcasters to give up a chunk of wasted, valuable spectrum that can be turned into (among other things) some useful wireless services. TV broadcasters hate this and have been fighting it in a variety of ways.…

    Venus of Willendorf

    The Paleolithic era was the time of Homo-sapiens ascendancy. They were hunter-gatherers who survived off of killing animals for food and gathering things such as berries, nuts, and roots. They became more advanced than their ancestors by making tools like the hand axe, chisel, the arrow and spearhead, and the grinder. With some of these tools they would carve small sculpture, the most famous of which is the Venus of Willendorf, a figure representing the ideal woman. In today’s society the representation of beauty has altered significantly since this figure was sculpted.…

    Venus of Urbino

    Through inspiration from Giorgiones’ Sleeping Venus, Titian a younger contemporary, developed the standard for the female nude, in his Venus of Urbino. Unlike his predecessor, Giorgione, Titian’s painting is one of the first indoor nudes in the renaissance era. The painting portrays a reclining nude in oil, her body softly rounded is unapologetically sensual and her attributes are painted as a commoner instead of a goddess. The compositional aspects of the painting must be noted as well. Venus’ hand and genitals are placed in the immediate center of the painting, as though she is toying with herself, the sensually explicit painting also displays Venus frankly staring directly at the viewer almost seductively. A dog is placed near her feet; some argue that the dog is a symbol of loyalty. The intention of Titian in his Venus of Urbino is a much-debated topic, whether or not the painting is an allegory for lust or a symbol of faithfulness in marital love is undecided. One thing is definite Titian’s Venus of Urbino is a staple of the female nude and it has influenced a multitude of artists.…

    A Rose for Emily: Short Fiction

    "A Rose for Emily," written by William Faulkner, is a short fiction about the life and death of Miss Emily Grierson under the background of Southern United States’s decay in 19th century. “ Miss Brill” is Katherine Mansfield’ short story about a woman’s Sunday outing to the park, revealing her thought about others as she watches a crowd from a park bench. Seemingly very different in the imagery and language, portray of the main characters and plot, the two fictions all show out two elderly women who live lonely in the past, not accepted by the environment and have tragic fate.…

    Venus and Cupid

    Venus and Cupid by Lorenzo Lotto is definitely one of the most unusual paintings when viewed through 21st century eyes. The painting depicts Venus lying on her left side, naked, and Cupid standing about a foot behind her. Inspired by ancient marriage poems, known as “epithalamia,” the painting was apparently painted to celebrate a wedding and Venus’s body type and facial features were taken from that of the bride to be’s. The painter included a few items in the picture that relate to Venus and to the sacrament of marriage. On Venus’s head is a crown (considered a “crown” in those times but we call it a tiara today [it’s much smaller]) with a veil cascading down the back. Rose petals line her sexual attributes and she holds up a wreath made of ivy and myrtle1, a symbol of fidelity and was worn by the bride. Behind Venus’s head, a conch shell dangles and finally, placed randomly around the two is a coiling serpent, a rod, roses, and an incense burner.…
