Manual / Issue 13 / Storage

Manual, a journal about art and its making. Storage. Manual 13 opens with an introduction by Fred Wilson, who confides, “You can look at all the opulence on display in a museum and begin to understand that something nefarious might be behind it. Storage, for me, is where the action is.” Museums usually make choices for viewers, their curators presenting what they think most important within a category. They can be so good at doing this that visitors sometimes don’t realize there’s anything else to see: they don’t realize the nature of the decisions behind an exhibition, and they accept that the elites have made a judgment about which shoe is the shoe to see. Visitors can learn about what’s great, but they don’t necessarily consider the process of discernment. –– Fred Wilson The RISD Museum’s thirteenth issue of Manual unpacks the idea and reality of storage—objects museums don’t put on view, works made as containers of various sorts, and more metaphorical considerations about how meanings and narratives are stored. This issue serves as a companion to the Raid the Icebox Now series of exhibitions on view at the RISD Museum through November 2020, in which nine contemporary artists and design collectives use the museum and its collections as a site for critical creative production and presentation. Raid the Icebox Now marks the 50th anniversary of Raid the Icebox 1 with Andy Warhol, held in 1970 at the RISD Museum. Softcover, 120 pages. Published Fall/Winter 2019 by the RISD Museum.

Consumo e gênero: uma revisão da produção historiográfica recente sobre a América Latina no século XX

A partir de una revisión de la producción historiográfica reciente que estudia el siglo XX, este artículo muestra la relevancia del género para la construcción de una historia del consumo en América Latina. Con este objetivo, se enfoca el análisis en tres líneas de investigación que, desde una aproximación interseccional, aportan nuevas miradas y preguntas: la primera destaca la dimensión política del consumo, centrándose en la relación entre género y clase; la segunda aborda consumo y trabajo doméstico, señalando el vínculo entre género y nación; y la tercera analiza cultura material y corporalidades, destacando la articulación entre género y edad.Starting from a recent historiographical production’s revision studying the 20th Century, this article depicts the relevance of gender for the history of consumption-building in Latin America. Bearing that in mind, the analysis is geared to three researching lines, contributing with new perspectives and questions, as from an inter sectorial approach: the first one highlights the political dimension of consumption based upon the interaction between gender and class; the second addresses consumption and domestic work, displaying a link between gender and nation, and the third one analyses material culture and corporality emphasizing upon the articulation between gender and age.A partir de uma revisão da produção historiográfica recente que estuda o século XX, este artigo mostra a relevância do gênero para a construção de uma história do consumo na América Latina.

The James Webb Space Telescope Mission

Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized space telescope with an aperture of at least $4m$. With the support of their governments in the US, Europe, and Canada, 20,000 people realized that vision as the $6.5m$ James Webb Space Telescope. A generation of astronomers will celebrate their accomplishments for the life of the mission, potentially as long as 20 years, and beyond. This report and the scientific discoveries that follow are extended thank-you notes to the 20,000 team members. The telescope is working perfectly, with much better image quality than expected. In this and accompanying papers, we give a brief history, describe the observatory, outline its objectives and current observing program, and discuss the inventions and people who made it possible. We cite detailed reports on the design and the measured performance on orbit.Comment: Accepted by PASP for the special issue on The James Webb Space Telescope Overview, 29 pages, 4 figure

Fortress America: Fear in Our Public Life

September 11, 2001 filled New York City’s bright blue sky with smoke, debris, and screams of terror. The fear that swept America on 9/11 fits into a half century pattern that spurred Americans to buy more guns, build more prisons, and retreat. Professor Elaine Tyler May marks the occasion of 9/11 by tracing the impact of fear on our public life and democracy. She is joined by Star Tribune columnist and editorial writer John Rash. Elaine Tyler May is the Regents Professor of American Studies and History, and Chair of the Department of History at the University of Minnesota. Her most recent new book is Fortress America: How We Embraced Fear and Abandoned Democracy. Five of her books have won distinguished awards and she is former president of the American Studies Association. This event serves as the University of Minnesota's 2018 Constitution Day event marking the adoption of the U.S. Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens.Center for the Study of Politics and Governance; Humphrey School of Public Affairs; UM
