Political Emotions explores the contributions that the study of discourses, rhetoric, and framing of emotion make to understanding the public sphere, civil society and the political realm. Tackling critiques on the opposition of the public and private spheres, chapters in this volume examine why some sentiments are valued in public communication while others are judged irrelevant, and consider how sentiments mobilize political trajectories.

Emerging from the work of the Public Feelings research group at the University of Texas-Austin, and cohering in a New Agendas in Communication symposium, this volume brings together the work of young scholars from various areas of study, including sociology, gender studies, anthropology, art, and new media. The essays in this collection formulate new ways of thinking about the relations among the emotional, the cultural, and the political. Contributors recraft familiar ways of doing critical work, and bring forward new analyses of emotions in politics. Their work expands understanding of the role of emotion in the political realm, and will be influential in political communication, political science, sociology, and visual and cultural studies.

In spring 2009, Dumbarton Oaks inaugurated an occasional series of contemporary art installations intended to provide unexpected experiences and fresh interpretations of its gardens and collections. The first artist selected was the American sculptor Charles Simonds, who is well known for clay sculptures that document the wanderings of a fantastical civilization of Little People whose landscapes, architectures, and rituals have been imagined by the artist since the early 1970s. The outcome was a project that spanned the whole institution. A wide range of his current sculptures--some architectural, some figural, and some evocative of landscape, most preexisting but one made especially for the exhibition--was installed between May and October 2009 in various spaces at Dumbarton Oaks.

"Landscape Body Dwelling" documents and reflects on the installation. Essays by Ann Reynolds and Germano Celant situate it within the broader context of Simond's artistic career, while essays by John Beardsley and Joanne Pillsbury detail the often surprising connections between the exhibited works, the garden elements, and the permanent collections at Dumbarton Oaks. Richly illustrated with photographs of the installation, this volume demonstrates how contemporary culture connects us with the past, reinvigorating historical tropes while enlivening the institutions that continue to speak them.

Lauded by Jerry Saltz as "one of the most reactionary yet radical visions of art," The Young and Evil tells the story of a group of artists and writers active during the first half of the twentieth century, when homosexuality was as problematic for American culture as figuration was for modernist painting. These artists-including Paul Cadmus, Fidelma Cadmus Kirstein, Charles Henri Ford, Jared French, Margaret Hoening French, George Platt Lynes, Bernard Perlin, Pavel Tchelitchew, George Tooker, Alexander Jensen Yow, and their circle-were new social creatures, playfully and boldly homosexual at a time when it was both criminalized and pathologized. They pursued a modernism of the body-driven by eroticism and bounded by intimacy, forming a hothouse world within a world that doesn't nicely fit any subsequent narrative of modern American art. In their work, they looked away from abstraction toward older sources and models-classical and archaic forms of figuration and Renaissance techniques. What might be seen as a reactionary aesthetic maneuver was made in the service of radical content-endeavoring to depict their own lives. Their little-known history is presented here through never-before-exhibited photographs, sculptures, drawings, ephemera, and rarely seen major paintings-offering the first view of its kind into their interwoven intellectual, artistic, and personal lives. Edited by Jarrett Earnest, who also curated the exhibition, The Young and Evil features new scholarship by art historians Ann Reynolds and Kenneth E. Silver and an interview with Alexander Jensen Yow by Michael Schreiber.

This book explores a particular instructional strategy to foster mathematics learning, namely Problem-centered learning. In the 21st century there is an urgent need for our students to know mathematics in a way that is fundamentally different from how many in the twentieth century experienced mathematics. If they are to enrich their own lives and the society in which they live students need to know not just facts and procedures, but how to think mathematically, to interpret their world through a mathematical lens (among other lenses). To do this they need to experience mathematics learning as a sense making activity, as an activity of constructing patterns and relationships. In this book Grayson Wheatley and a group of his former doctoral students and colleagues will elaborate PCL as an approach that fosters such learning in the mathematics classroom. The topics discussed should be of interest to researchers, school administrators, and professionals in the field.

In the past fifty years, contemporary artistic practice has witnessed a surge in phenomenological types of artistic intent and methodology, represented by divergent impulses sharing a desire to channel ephemeral elements, resist categorization, and defy the rarified museum experience. Time-based work is now widely accepted as primary exhibition matter, and in the past ten years, performance art has risen to the mainstream. Defining "experiential art" as work that is immersive, participatory, performative, and kinetic, Strange Pilgrims is an exhibition and accompanying catalogue organized by The Contemporary Austin, weaving fourteen artists into a loose collection of propositions occupying unconventional spaces and formats. The title comes from Gabriel Garcia Marquez's collection of twelve short stories of the same name, riffing on the wandering protagonist as a metaphor for an open-ended journey through strange and unfamiliar spaces. Created in tandem with the exhibition on view in fall 2015 and winter 2016 at The Contemporary Austin's two sites, as well as a third venue, the Visual Arts Center at the University of Texas at Austin, this catalogue presents a parallel but stand-alone assemblage of ideas and concepts that respond to and resonate with one another under the broad umbrella of experience and perception. The book features an essay by the curator Heather Pesanti, a guest essay by the scholar Ann Reynolds, and an interview between author and critic Lawrence Weschler and the philosopher Alva Noe. All fourteen artists are represented through individual sections with color plates and explicatory text. In addition, Artist's Voice sections have been contributed by Roger Hiorns, Trisha Baga and Jessie Stead, and Lakes Were Rivers.

This study of an important class of ceramics from the key coastal colonial site of Cosa in southwest Tuscany documents the rise of Republican Rome to dominance in central Italy in the third and second centuries BC. Excavation and survey work by the American Academy in Rome and others at Cosa over the past half-century have greatly enriched our knowledge of the organization and exploitation of the resources of the countryside, and the patterns of economic exchange to which they testify. These latter are particularly evident in the varieties of imported and locally made black-glaze pottery that have been recovered in the excavations. Ann Reynolds Scott catalogues and analyzes five unpublished deposits of black-glaze pottery from Cosa. Her analysis includes comparative material from other sites and typological distribution charts of the various productions. She also reevaluates the deposits of pottery from the site that were previously published. Abundant evidence from Cosa and its territory and from north-central and south Italy also allows the author to put previously published black-glaze pottery from Cosa into its proper context and, with the new evidence, to consider the changing economic fortunes of the town after Italy had been re-secured from Hannibal for Rome. The book gives a general overview of the classes of black-glaze pottery and the present state of black-glaze pottery research in Italy. It will be a prime research tool for scholars working on ancient ceramics of this class and for historians of Republican Rome.
