Thoughts of an Uppity Grad: Yari's Baby Clothes: Object History
http://uppitygrad.blogspot.com/2010/09/yaris-baby-clothes-object-history.html
Thoughts of an Uppity Grad. Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Yari's Baby Clothes: Object History. Yari's baby clothes had a long history before Yari. Textile manufacturers, clothing designers, factory workers, truck drivers and retailers all influenced the life cycle of this ordinary onesie. Its owner changed multiple times and each altered the path of the object without knowing that it would eventually reach a young mother and her newborn baby girl. Yari's daughter has since grown out of her first clothin...

Thoughts of an Uppity Grad. Sunday, September 20, 2009. The Significance of Mad Men (and Reading Commentary #2). Some people would call me a television junkie. I prefer to think of myself as a connoisseur of fine viewing. That being said, tonight was a big night for junkies and connoisseurs alike as we all celebrated another fine year of programming with the 61st Annual Primetime Emmys. My thoughts are turning more toward a certain "Outstanding Drama" winner:. Articles analyzing character's drinks. There...

Follow me as we explore various issues in Museums, Public History, and American History. Friday, October 30, 2009. Through interpretation, understanding; through understanding, appreciation; through appreciation, protection. Freeman Tilden's quote about the importance of interpretation fifty years ago still rings true today. If people do not understand why something is important, they often do not appreciate it, and therefore don't see the need to protect it. Links to this post. Tuesday, October 27, 2009.

Follow me as we explore various issues in Museums, Public History, and American History. Monday, September 27, 2010. Today I am offering my own hypothetical design plan of the First Person Museum exhibit. It will be based on materials produced by First Person Arts. For a base I have used Alice Parman’s “Exhibit Makeovers:. Do-it-yourself Exhibit Planning”, from the AASLH. Every object has many stories hiding just below the surface. History is just another story in this mission). Whenever possible interac...

This promotional method was voluntarily stopped by the drug industry in 2009, but similar practices remain today. Written by Steven Greenstein. Written by Steven Greenstein. Subscribe to: Po...

Follow me as we explore various issues in Museums, Public History, and American History. Sunday, November 22, 2009. Readings of the week. What a busy week! The digital turn is not a fad, it is the future, but the work required is specialized and difficult. Blogs such as mine and my classmates are an interesting project, but a simple one considering the possibilities that could be achieved. A historian must also be technologically trained today to function. Links to this post. It also served to reaffirm w...

Follow me as we explore various issues in Museums, Public History, and American History. Tuesday, September 21, 2010. This week I am changing gears slightly. Last week I discussed the history of both stuffed animals and promotional items, but due to length constraints, I will only be focusing on stuffed animals from here. However, they would probably be able to determine that it is a stuffed animal. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Interested in this blog? Check out my colleagues.
