Evolution of the Library
Architectural Program, from Brullee to OMA Speaker: Frank Jacobus (University of Idaho, Architecture dept.) Moderator: Rami Attebury Conference Room C Georges Bataille called architecture a “colossal cultural mirror”. The architectural manifestations of library programs have evolved radically since the inception and proliferation of the book in western culture. By looking at specific architectural library programs it becomes possible to understand the library / architecture relationship as one that offers readings into our culture and its evolution. This presentation looks at how library buildings, from past to present, act as “cultural mirrors” for the age in which they were built. |

[4C] Pictures
and Conversations: A Random Walk through Sequential Art, or, The
Graphic Novel Considered Speaker: Michael Tarabulski (University of Idaho, Special Collections) | Moderator: David Matte Conference Room C The proper literary device makes all the difference. A hot summer day and a shade tree help, but it’s really her older sister’s book, “without pictures or conversations,” that sends Alice to sleep and to her dreams of Wonderland. If her sister’s book had been a graphic novel, with pictures and conversations abounding, perhaps Alice would have stayed around instead of chasing rabbits. Lacking the motivation to nap, Alice would not have dreamed and, not dreaming, would have deprived us all of a grand adventure, replete, not incidentally, with pictures and conversations. Graphic novels, though, provide wonderlands and looking-glass worlds of their own, be they personal or political, factual or fictional, dystopian or delightful. These are, as the subtitle to Paul Gravette’s excellent study of the form puts it, “stories to change your life.” This presentation will look at a few specimens that would have kept Alice awake, and others that her sister would not have let her see, and even a few with Alice herself in starring roles. Hardly even an introduction to a vast and complex field and its history, this copiously illustrated lecture is more of an invitation to explore an area you may know little about. Rated “R” for sex, violence, and adult themes, including zombies, lesbians, war, suicide, murder, nudity, and existential angst. |
