Neo-Confederates take their stand: Southern agrarians and the Civil War

Ninety years ago, a group of twelve Southern intellectuals published I’ll Take My Stand, a manifesto dedicated to reviving Southern values and ideals in direct opposition to Northern industrialism and philosophy. Ever since 1930, the Southern Agrarians have been frequently presented as critics of modern life, but this kind of focus overshadows another way in which they were described in those early days: as neo-Confederates. The Agrarians’ ongoing and wide-ranging engagement with the Civil War – especially in the work of Allen Tate and Donald Davidson – was, I argue, hugely significant for the planning and writing of the manifesto. Examining the ways in which these writers used the war also shows how they sought to retard modernist progress, embrace failure as an element of Lost Cause ideology, and distort the temporal shape of Civil War memory. Furthermore, I show here how bound up in the manifesto and related writing by its contributors is a commitment to white supremacy and violence – a kind of fanatical dedication that speaks to events in the United States today

CTC490 Spring 2015

For the spring 2015 Capstone class, the class was asked to design a Call center to be located on Judd Road in Oriskany New York. The overall project goal is to provide engineering plans and specifications for a commercial tenant at the site, which takes advantage of the proximity to major transportation routes, excellent location relative to the urban center of Utica, and the presence of government agencies to provide entitlement funding, also situated in Utica, New York. The design team overall goal is to create a site that is not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing. This should be a site that is easy for maintenance and ground crews to maintain, and one that will also be able to retain its value for several years without redesign or needless additions. Along with being functional, it is a goal to be self-sustaining and reuse as many natural resources as possible
