Are you an early career humanities scholar looking for next year's plans? Have you dreamed of having an office only a few doors down from mine?

Great news - the Whitney Humanities Center is hiring a postdoc working within the broader theme of 'Rot: Politics, Aesthetics, Regeneration'

“Crystal Forms: A Victorian Aesthetics of Accident” is out in JVC!

I read James/Cecilia Glaisher’s snow-crystal images as a case study in accidental aesthetics—unsettling familiar stories about representation, mechanical objectivity, and lookalike forms in science + art ❄️❄️❄️

doi.org/10.1093/jvcu...
Screenshot of article abstract. Text: Abstract. This essay uses the snow-crystal studies of the meteorologist James Glaisher and his wife, the illustrator-photographer Cecilia Glaisher, as a case study to describe a nineteenth-century aesthetics of accident, to assess its limits, and to draw wider lessons for the history of scientific and artistic representation. The argument is in two parts. The first examines the Glaishers’ accounts and images of snow-crystal morphology across a range of print media, from scientific periodicals to art journals. I argue that they pivoted from an empirical and taxonomic inquiry toward an aesthetics of design, developing representational strategies that emphasized symmetry. The latter part of the argument identifies two lessons we can draw from this case study. First, I complicate a narrative in the history of science that takes snow-crystals as exemplary of a nineteenth-century epistemic shift in styles of representation, from ‘truth to nature’ in hand-drawn images to ‘mechanical objectivity’ in photomicrography. The Glaishers’ case, I suggest, confounds this narrative of the ascendancy of mechanical reproductive techniques. Second, I contend that these images have an aesthetic kinship with projects of iterative representation in twentieth-century art, and anticipate conundrums about ‘pseudomorphism’. The Glaishers’ snow-crystals offer a compelling way to talk about quasi-identical forms in science and art, not so much by discriminating among them than by accommodating, even celebrating, the variety of causal stories and contexts that surround them. Their project reveals a nascent aesthetics of accident in the Victorian era whose legacy can be traced in, and help us understand, later representational forms.

Solche Fälle sind keine Einzelfälle. Entfristung mit ü50 ist *keine* Seltenheit – Schluss damit! Dafür kämpft auch das Netzwerk #PDprekär!

Helft uns dabei, die Bildungsministerkonferenz auf das desaströse Ergebnis jahrzehntelanger Kettenbefristung hinzuweisen. Macht mit uns Druck! #IchBinHanna
Kommentar von Ludger unter unserem Offenen Brief: Mit 56 Jahren habe ich seit diesem Semester meinen ersten unbefristeten Arbeitsvertrag. 14 Jahre nach meiner Habilitation. In einem Alter, in dem andere an die Frühverrentung denken. Und ich bin kein Einzelfall. Da muss sich was ändern!

Besonders beeindruckend das #Fotoalbum der jüdischen Familie von der Porten von 1938, die damit Abschied nahmen von ihrem Wohnhaus und Leben in Hamburg.
