“Barry Farm-Hillsdale: Reimagining Preservation for a Just Future”
This talk is about the fight to preserve a public housing project in Washington, DC, its local listing as a DC landmark, and subsequent (and ongoing) efforts to commemorate its history while also envisioning a new version of preservation that puts people first. Major themes include architectural integrity, cultural landscape theory student and community engagement in the visioning process, and the production of a documentary film.
There will actually be a screening of the film at Penn on March 1: https://cpcrs.upenn.edu/events/barry-farm-community-land-justice-washington-dc.

Toilette scenes showing women primping before a mirror—applying makeup, lacing up corsets, brushing out hair—were everywhere in late nineteenth-century Paris. This talk will explore the widespread practice, detailed in French novels as well as in art and visual culture, of men paying for the privilege of watching a woman perform these intimate rituals. Why did the fashioning of one’s self-image hold so much erotic potential in the nineteenth-century imagination? How might we deconstruct the complex network of gazes at work in these images?
