Picture Collection Art File Index

Art Files are arranged by artist and by country. There is a section for art movements and types of art, and a large collection of Illustrators. The mounted art prints include many rare black and white photographs of historic architecture.https://digitalcommons.risd.edu/picturecollection_indexes/1001/thumbnail.jp

Storyville: A Study of Artifacts

Operating from 1897 to 1917, sixteen blocks from the French Quarter district of New Orleans, Louisiana, several buildings were created to establish a legal red light district known as “Storyville.” The area was named after its creator, Alderman Sidney Story, who enacted the applicable ordinances and helped to establish the district. The creation of Storyville was meant to bring regulation to the sex trade and organized crime. The creation of the sixteen blocks of the district was influenced by a diverse range of experiences, ranging from cheap cribs, vibrant music halls, saloons, and lavish mansions filled with top dollar ladies. The Storyville district is estimated to have boasted approximately 230 brothels and nearly 2,000 sex workers during the height of its popularity. The district was not only known for its sex work, however. In addition, it was also well-known for the solid feminist entrepreneurship seen from the women who ran the high-end brothels, such as LuLu White and Josie Arlington. In fact, there are historians who argue that Storyville allowed for some of the first entrepreneurial women in New Orleans at a time when there were no other options. Storyville is also considered groundbreaking for a vibrant music scene that allowed musicians, such as Jelly Roll Morton, to gain popularity (Permenter, 2021). However, after Storyville was abolished in 1917, New Orleans started slowly removing all buildings and disguising the fact that the district ever existed. While Storyville operated, the brothels would produce promotional postcards, guidebooks, and cameos of the girls. But, over the decades, many of these items have been considered lost or destroyed; most exist in few dedicated archives. This leads to the notion of Storyville’s mystique. But, if you are walking around the city, you will not find any standing buildings and very little information about its history. Further, some people that grew up in New Orleans do not even know the area ever existed, which leads more to its lore (Permenter, 2021). The study examines the artifacts available in The Historic New Orleans Collection Archives about The Storyville District, the city of New Orleans’ red-light district during a period ranging from 1897 to 1917

'An editor regrets': R. G. Campbell's Australian Journal, 1926–1955

[Extract]: Despite having been published continuously from 1865–1961, the Australian Journal is mainly regarded by literary historians as a nineteenth-century periodical. By concentrating on nineteenth-century authors such as Marcus Clarke, Charles Harpur, Ada Cambridge and “Rolf ” Boldrewood, the brief entry in the Oxford Companion to Australian Literature mentions nothing beyond 1875. Vane Lindesay’s The Way We Were: Australian Popular Magazines 1856 to 1967 gives the magazine a few short pages, as do Frank Greenop’s passing references in his History of Magazine Publishing in Australia, pushing further into the twentieth century, but with little detail. R. G. Campbell’s The First Ninety Years: The Printing House of Massina Melbourne 1859 to 1949 provides the fullest account to date with an accomplished history of the printer and publisher of the Australian Journal, and more than passing references to the magazine that ran off its presses. But Campbell’s story ends before the final decade of the magazine’s production. To date, a comprehensive account of the twentieth-century Australian Journal has not been assembled

Free Will, Self‐Creation, and the Paradox of Moral Luck

How is the problem of free will related to the problem of moral luck? In this essay, I answer that question and outline a new solution to the paradox of moral luck, the source-paradox solution. This solution both explains why the paradox arises and why moral luck does not exist. To make my case, I highlight a few key connections between the paradox of moral luck and two related problems, namely the problem of free will and determinism and the paradox of self-creation. Piecing together intuitions, arguments, and insights from recent work on each of these three problems, I argue that the type of control necessary for moral responsibility can only be satisfied by someone who is a genuine source of his own actions, but the relevant notion of sourcehood admits no coherent characterization. If our commonsense view of moral responsibility is incoherent, it is unsurprising that our commitment to the existence of morally responsible agents commits us to some paradoxical things—e.g. to both the existence and impossibility of moral luck

Electric Charge Mutation by Four Vector Bosons

A general theory of electric charge is proposed. It is based on two phenomenologies. Electric charge mutation and conservation law. Three charges $\{ +, - ,0\}$ transformations physics succeeds. Quantum field theory underlies corresponding creations and annihilation. A potential field's quadruplet is ruled. Microscopic electromagnetism is processed by four vectors bosons intermediations. The electromagnetism closure is accomplished. The quadruplet $A_{\mu I} \equiv \{ A_\mu, U_\mu, V_\mu^\pm\}$ completeness introduces the most generic EM energy flux between electric charges. Charge mutation includes that besides usual photon, EM phenomena is enlarged by massive and charged photons. Charge conservation associates these four vector fields. Electric charge symmetry, extends EM for an abelian symmetry $U_{Q} \equiv U(1) \times SO(2)_{global}$. A new EM Lagrangian beyond Maxwell results. A symmetry equation for electric charge is established through Noether theorem. The electric charge transfer physics extends the EM phenomenon. Nonlinear Electromagnetic fields modified electric charge symmetry, new EM regimes. Potential fields become a physical entity producing conglomerates, collective fields, mass, sources, charges, monopoles, forces. EM features ruled from an extended electric charge abelian symmetry. Systemic, nonlinear, neutral, spintronics, photonics, electroweak EM regimes are constituted.Comment: 45 pages, not figur
