Charles C. Eldredge Prize for Distinguished Scholarship in American Art from the Smithsonian American Art Museum In Race ExpertsLinda Kim examines the complicated and ambivalent role played by sculptor Malvina Hoffman in the Races of Mankind series created for the Chicago Field Museum in 1930. Although Hoffman had training in fine arts and was a protege of Auguste Rodin and Ivan Mestrovic, she had no background in anthropology or museum exhibits. Nonetheless, the Field Museum commissioned her to make a series of life-size sculptures for the museum's new racial exhibition, which became the largest exhibit on race ever installed in a museum and one of the largest sculptural commissions ever undertaken by a single artist. Hoffman's Races of Mankind exhibit was realized as a series of 104 bronzes of racial types from around the world, a unique visual mediation between anthropological expertise and lay ideas about race in interwar America. Kim explores how the exhibition compelled the artist to incorporate into her artistic model of race not only racial science but also popular ideas that ordinary Americans brought to the museum. Kim situates the Races of Mankind exhibit at the juncture of these different forms of expertise and examines how the sculptures represented the messy resolutions between them. Race Experts is a compelling story of ideological contradiction and accommodation within the racial practices of American museums, artists, and audiences.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 2,2, Freie Universitat Berlin, Veranstaltung: Gewalt in der Literatur des Mittelalters, 11 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Ring von Heinrich Wittenwiler, wahrscheinlich um 1400 in Konstanz entstanden, stellt, wie vom Dichter selbst im Prolog angekundigt, den Lauf der Welt dar. Das Lehrwerk soll dem Leser genau aufzeigen, Was man tuon und lassen schol (v. 12). Der Lauf der Welt und was ein Mann wissen und konnen muss, lasst sich Wittenwiler zufolge in drei Hauptgruppen unterteilen: 1.Das Werben des Mannes um eine Frau. 2.Fragen zur Gesundheitslehre und wie man sich in der Welt zu verhalten hat. 3.Wie man sich in Kriegszeiten zu verhalten hat (v. 17 - 28). Ihre Umsetzung finden die Lehren Wittenwilers in der Geschichte von Bertschi Triefnas und Matzli Ruerenzumph bzw. den Dorfern Lappenhausen und Nissingen. Der erste Teil erzahlt wie Bertschi um Matzli wirbt und diese schliesslich in die Hochzeit mit ihm einwilligt (die Motive fur ihre letztendliche Entscheidung seien an dieser Stelle dahingestellt). Nach vielen Belehrungen des Brautigams und der Braut uber u.a. religiose Angelegenheiten, die Korper- bzw. Gesundheitspflege, nutzliche Tugenden und die Haushaltsfuhrung kommt es im zweiten Teil anschliessend zur Eheschliessung zwischen Bertschi und Matzli. Auf die Hochzeit folgt ein ausgelassenes, jeder Etikette trotzendes Hochzeitsmahl mit Tanz. Wahrend des Tanzens kommt es zu einem blutigen Zwischenfall, aus dem der im dritten Teil folgende Krieg resultiert. Um die Belehrungen des Ringes ansprechender und unterhaltender zu gestalten unterteilt Wittenwiler den Text in zwei Bereiche. Die ernsthaften und lehrreichen Passagen wechseln sich mit komischen, lacherlichen Handlungen einer Gruppe Bauern ab, beide Bereiche ergeben zusammengenommen das Gesamtwerk und existieren nicht, wie angenommen werden konnte, bloss nebeneinander. Damit der Sinn
