Exploring Contexts: Migrant Mother:Prints and Photographs Division Exploring Contexts: Migrant Mother As suggested in the Researching Images section, awareness of the circumstances surrounding the creation of any given image enriches our interpretation of it. Exploring, however briefly, the multiple contexts surrounding a single, well-known picture vividly illustrates the point that many factors shape the making and meaning of images. The photograph popularly known as “Migrant Mother” has become an icon of the Great Depression. The compelling image of a mother and her children is actually one of a series of photographs that Dorothea Lange made in February or March of 1936 in Nipomo, California. Lange made the photographs toward the end of a month's trip photographing migratory farm labor for what was then the Resettlement Administration, later to become the Farm Security Administration. I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. [Top]
Dorothea Lange - California Museum Dorothea Lange’s photographs have etched the faces of the poor and forgotten into the American memory. Her compassionate images of disadvantaged Native Americans, displaced families of the Great Depression, and interned Japanese Americans during World War II helped develop documentary photography as we know it today. Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1895, she contracted polio at age seven and was left with a lifelong limp. After studying photography as a young woman in New York City, in 1918 she moved to California and opened her own portrait studio in San Francisco. In 1933, Lange and her husband, Paul Taylor, documented the grim exodus of farm families escaping the dust bowl, and her powerful images persuaded many of the need for government programs to aid the dispossessed. Lange died in 1965 but her passion for people and the art of photography left us with era-defining images of 20th century America.
FDR’s Commonwealth Club Address My friends: I count it a privilege to be invited to address the Commonwealth Club. It has stood in the life of this city and state, and it is perhaps accurate to add, the nation, as a group of citizen leaders interested in fundamental problems of government, and chiefly concerned with achievement of progress in government through non-partisan means. The privilege of addressing you, therefore, in the heat of a political campaign, is great. I want to respond to your courtesy in terms consistent with your policy. I want to speak not of politics but of government. I do want to give you, however, a recollection of a long life spent for a large part in public office. The issue of government has always been whether individual men and women will have to serve some system of government of economics, or whether a system of government and economics exists to serve individual men and women. The final word belongs to no man; yet we can still believe in change and in progress. But Mr.

Untitled Document Understanding capitalism with different approaches: Smith, Keynes, and Marx Right<--------- liberal------>left Adam Smith Keynes Marx Adam Smith (1723-1790): As new thoughts or innovations constantly challenged existing authorities, old institutions faced a decline and threats of a new system within society. The free market is the market that solely decides wages and prices and does not contain government intervention (“Free Market.”). However, Adam Smith did not consider a class gap between capitalists who hold a lot of power or employers who hold little power. John Keynes (1883-1946): Keynes came along during the Great Depression and pointed out the cause of the economic downfall. At this point, the readers should be aware of two different economic theories under the same system, capitalism. Karl Marx: (1818-1883): While observing capitalism carefully, Marx came to the conclusion that capitalism has to expand in order for it not to collapse. Back to the top
La "Mère migrante" de la Grande Dépression : une vie de battante - 15 août 2016 Pour la deuxième année consécutive, "l'Obs" revient cet été sur les photos qui ont marqué l'histoire. À la une des journaux, dans les pages de nos livres d'école ou arborées fièrement sur nos t-shirts, elles ont fait le tour du monde. Mais connaissez-vous l'histoire secrète de ces clichés mythiques ? Le symbole de la crise économique La dignité. Prise en 1936 au bord d'une route californienne, la photographie montre cette femme de 32 ans entourée de chérubins – ses enfants –, tout près d'un camp accueillant quelque 2.500 travailleurs des champs plongés dans la misère. Dorothea Lange, via Libary of Congress Paradoxe : pendant plus de 30 ans, le public n'a presque rien su de Florence Owen Thompson. "Nipomo, Californie, 1936. Pour la talentueuse photographe, au moment de presser le déclencheur, Florence Owens Thompson ne représente probablement qu'une infortunée de plus, une goutte d'eau dans l'océan des indigents jetés sur les routes par le chômage. Dorothea Lange poursuit : Cyril Bonnet

The issue of government has always been whether individual men and women will have to serve some system of government of economics, or whether a system of government and economics exists to serve individual men and women. The final word belongs to no man; yet we can still believe in change and in progress. When we look about us, we are likely to forget how hard people have worked to win the privilege of government. But the creators of national government were perforce ruthless men. There came a growing feeling that government was conducted for the benefit of a few who thrived unduly at the expense of all. The American colonies were born in this struggle. But Mr. Woodrow Wilson, elected in 1912, saw the situation more clearly. Book/CDs by Michael E.

Money.com Market Report - Sep. 29, 2008 NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks skidded Monday, with the Dow slumping nearly 778 points, in the biggest single-day point loss ever, after the House rejected the government's $700 billion bank bailout plan. The day's loss knocked out approximately $1.2 trillion in market value, the first post-$1 trillion day ever, according to a drop in the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000, the broadest measure of the stock market. The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) lost 777.68, surpassing the 684.81 loss on Sept. 17, 2001 - the first trading day after the September 11 attacks. However the 7% decline does not rank among the top 10 percentage declines. The Standard & Poor's 500 (SPX) index lost 8.8%, its seventh worst day ever on a percentage basis and the biggest one-day percentage drop since the crash of '87, when it lost 20.5%. Stocks tumbled ahead of the vote and the selling accelerated on fears that Congress would not be able come up with a fix for nearly frozen credit markets.
S01 - Le Projet Scientifique et Culturel a-t-il de l’avenir ? 1La démarche de Projet Scientifique et Culturel (dit « PSC » dans le jargon professionnel) a été initiée par la Direction des Musées de France (DMF) pour encadrer le formidable mouvement d’expansion des musées qui a caractérisé les années 1980-1990 : créations de musées, constructions et rénovations de bâtiments, professionnalisation des personnels et des pratiques, augmentation spectaculaire des publics, grandes expositions toujours plus coûteuses et plus fréquentées, démarche marketing… Au musée d’Histoire de Nantes, le château des ducs de Bretagne est le premier objet de la collection. © Musée d’Histoire de Nantes 2Les musées changent beaucoup depuis deux ou trois ans et le contexte évolue encore plus vite. 3Un musée ne peut plus se contenter de gérer l’existant. 6Le PSC s’appuie sur une analyse de la vocation et de l’environnement du musée, ainsi que sur l’identification des attentes et demandes des destinataires du musée (tutelles, publics, partenaires) pour y répondre au mieux.
