Emily R. Anderson
Art History
emilyand@usc.edu
Emily R. Anderson is a doctoral candidate in Fine art History and a recipient of the Visual Studies Graduate Certificate. Her research interests include printed books, manuscripts, prints, and drawings in early mod Europe. For her dissertation, she is looking at Italian books printed on or with non-conventional materials like vellum, blue paper, illuminations, and colored inks. Emily is proposing that the printing press was used to mechanically reproduce "bespoke books" using these materials while drawing on contemporary visual culture. Her project questions the causeless stability of the volume as a purely black-and-white object, and argues that the book was a mutable, distinctive, and ultimately experimental medium in early modern Italy. Emily has received support from the Rare Book School, the Decorative Arts Trust, the USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institute, the Visual Studies Research Institute, and the USC art history department to complete enquiry for her dissertation. Before USC, she received her BA in Art History and Archaeology at Tufts University and her Principal's in Art History from Southern Methodist University. She has worked at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and she served equally the graduate intern in the Drawings Department at the J. Paul Getty Museum.

Book Title: "The Decisive Network: Magnum Photos and the Postwar Prototype Marketplace" (University of California Printing, 2020)
Dissertation
"The Decisive Network: Magnum Photos and the Art of Collaboration in Postwar Photojournalism"
My dissertation examined the early history of Magnum Photos, the photographic bureau founded in 1947 in New York and Paris by such photographers as Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson. I demonstrated how Magnum'southward editorial artful and penchant for human interest stories – accounts of both extraordinary and ordinary events happening to everyday people – expanded the geographic telescopic of editorial news photography when World War Two ended. I and then tracked how news photography, every bit an artful and every bit a mode of production, migrated into new markets and created a public face for the experience of tourism and the piece of work of corporations. In the process, I demonstrated Magnum's contribution to inaugurating a culture of unprecedented news image saturation that is more than generally associated with 1960s America. Mine was the showtime project to bring together all-encompassing archival research on Magnum and to situate the cooperative's work within broader changes in the system of press photography, as well equally the evolving fields of folklore, media studies, and even geography in the first fifteen years after World War Ii. Pivotal to my projection was the thought that Magnum's successes resulted non from the individual artistic genius of its photographers, simply from the "Decisive Network" of agency staff, magazine editors, dark room developers, book publishers, and museum curators with whom Magnum photographers collaborated on a daily basis.

"'Each Torso Has Its Art': The Unruly Bodies of American Modernism"
My project aims to return the body to the piece of work of modernist poetry, likewise every bit to consider the effects that such embodied poetics have on understandings of temporality, the visual and dis-orientation. Verse of the trunk is necessarily concerned with time and the decay, resilience or the instability of the body in time. Though occasionally critics have intervened into conversations of modernism with more fleshly concerns, these studies take largely focused on fiction and the novel. Modernism'south complex archive allows me to consider the part of bodies trans-generically with particular accent on the work of what I term embodied poetry and the unruly bodies and poetics in the modernist flow.

Title:Instructing Unruly Empires: Colonial Educational Film in British Malaya
My dissertation is a cultural history of films as instruments of empire. Through in-depth archival inquiry aslope oral histories and pic screenings, I examine how colonial governments utilized films equally tools to teach audiences the fundamentals of practiced colonial citizenship. Equally the site of one of the first large-scale experiments with films for "native" education, film programs in Malaya initiated new pedagogical schemes throughout the British empire that taught colonial subjects things such as venereal disease prevention, financial responsibleness, and loyalty to the Commonwealth. These move-pictures, which I phone call "colonial educational films," sought to bring various aspects of individual life nether colonial dominion through visual instruction. In spite of their prescribed roles as tools of goverenance withal, films were too unruly objects that chartered errant paths across international borders and were received in ways that troubled their disciplinary intentions. I argue that films were cultural things-in-motion with multiple social lives that interrupted their "official" trajectories every bit tools of governance. These contested cinematic spaces enabled Malayan audiences to negotiate their ain understandings of colonial/postcolonial identity.

Robin Coste Lewis
USC Writer in Residence
PhD Creative Writing and Literature
Robin Coste Lewis is the author of Voyage of the Sable Venus (Knopf, 2015), a poetry collection that traces the representational history of the black female figure in Western fine art. Broadly speaking her current research focuses on the intersection of text and image, particularly within the context of early on African American print culture. From lithographs and travel narratives to the Polaroid, her piece of work examines the interconnected print histories of photography and poetry, focusing on how both were used to appoint themes of migration, representations of attending, and black subjectivity. Before attending USC, Lewis received a MFA from New York University in Poetry, a MTS from Harvard University in Sanskrit and comparative religious literature, and BA from Hampshire College in comparative literature and creative writing. She has taught at NYU's MFA program in Paris, Hunter, Wheaton, and Hampshire Colleges.

Dissertation
Technology Hollywood: Applied science, Technicians, and the Science of Building the Studio Arrangement, 1915-1933
My dissertation examines the industrial command of technology during the formation of the Hollywood studio system. Information technology asks what it ways for a artistic business to industrialize in a period well earlier the invention of the seemingly contradictory notion of "artistic industries." By studying the frequently-ignored technical aspects of motion flick production, from cameras to developer solutions, along with their inventors, manufacturers, and practitioners, this project volition create a new agreement of the industrial system that emerged in Hollywood.

Art History
Christopher McGeorge received his PhD from the section of Art History. Christopher researches Victorian stained drinking glass, murals, and public fine art. His dissertation, "Mediums for the Masses: Stained Glass and Murals in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction," interrogates the proliferation of big-scale, site-specific public art projects in the age of speed, mobility, and mechanical reproduction. He examines how stained glass, murals, and the mediums that reproduced them generated public discourses that interrogated who constituted "the public" for fine art, which mediums were best-suited for addressing this public, and how the public gained access to art.

Her work focuses on early mod English drama, performance studies, visual studies, poetics, and archival theory. Her dissertation, "Shakespeare'due south Speaking Pictures" looks at the strange silences, pauses, and moments of stillness in Shakespearean theater—arguing that the playwright'southward dramatic art might be understood as a visual art—and the afterlife of those moments in various forms from the photograph to silent movie. Her dissertation argues that the way individuals looked at images in the early on modern menstruation should shape the way we read and view Shakespeare. By placing Shakespeare's images in dialogue with other early modern art forms—including emblem books, perspective paintings, and prints in the vanitas tradition—"Shakespeare's Speaking Pictures" offers new readings of Shakespeare's plays as interventions in a historical debate over the moral ambiguities of looking. Research Interests: Early Modern Drama, Performance, Embodiment, Adaptation, and Visual Culture.
