Ithaca College's Handwerker Gallery To Display Collection Of Inuit Sculpture

"Dancing Bear" (1976) by Paula Saila

“Of the People: Inuit Sculpture from the Collection of May and Fred Widding” will open at Ithaca College’s Handwerker Gallery with a gallery reception on Thursday, Feb. 28, from 5 to 7 p.m. Curated by Ithaca College museology students, the exhibit will run through April 6. All Handwerker events are free and open to the public.
“The Inuit, an indigenous people living in the Canadian Arctic, have a long artistic tradition that archaeological discoveries have shown to reach back thousands of years,” said Cheryl Kramer, gallery director and assistant professor of art history. “Indeed, the long and storied history of the Inuit has been preserved through their pieces.”
In their native dialect Inuktitut, the word Inuit simply means the people, and alludes to their lifestyle both past and present, Kramer added. Despite continuing changes to their culture, Inuit remain the people of the Arctic.
“Though confronted by numerous transformations to their livelihood over the past fifty years, central Inuit values have endured: community, nature, and spirituality—values we see echoed in their artistic expression,” Kramer said.
The exhibition highlights the distinguished collection of Mary and Fred Widding. Pivotal to the development of the Widdings’ collection is their personal relationship with the work. By sharing this collection with the Handwerker Gallery, the Widdings hope that others may discover the same connection.
An illustrated catalogue written by the student curators will accompany the exhibition.
A series of events have been planned in conjunction with the exhibition. More information is available at www.ithaca.edu/handwerker/g/upcoming_events/.
To book tours of the exhibition by student-curators, contact RB Schlather at rschlat1@ithaca.edu or JJ Ignotz at jignotz1@ithaca.edu.

The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. (Thursday until 9 p.m.); Saturday and Sunday, noon–5 p.m.

Social Revolutions

The term social revolution may have different connotations depending on the write, audience, and age groups.

In the Trotskyist movement, the term "social revolution" refers to an upheaval in which existing property relations are smashed. This spured on the October Revolution in Russia in 1917 and the Cuban Revolution, as both caused capitalist (and in some cases pre-capitalist) property relations to turn into post-capitalist property relations as they operated by plan rather than by market. All of it failed in as much as there was always a conditional connection between personal consensus and market forces And hard as they tried they could not feed their populace.

Today social revolutions are contrasted with an accelerator of a sorts by a technological revolution as well as an over taking and powerful information revolution created by the Internet. Political revolutions are becoming more ethnocentric in their domains in which there has been a slow land grab-possibly the last we will ever know. Governments, or the dominate ethic groups are not necessarily replaced but are divorced.

Once a basic idenity is achieved or altered, but in which both social and cultural relations are predominantly left intact by traditional known human governance, then the state in which controls the territory has survived. Today, and as a result, social revolutions do now, and most dramtically imply the necessity that the personal idenity as a whole has more of a say or control over education and the aspirations of their youth, and are likewise to obtain highly advance technological information portals and supporting goods and services personal goals.

In countries such as Gabon, Africa, this has foster additional national anxiety as education and information about other successful ethnic struggles are likewise revealing a great Internal Exile of one's former ethnic idenity. It was the greater Internal Exile in which the majority of the Russian elite had which caused the rapid collaspe of the former Soviet Union. Confronted with this a social scape or focus is likewise formed. As a result several African as well as Eastern European States can no longer afford using traditional contraols over other ethnic groups and their lives, as several ethnic groupings are slowly denying that their own ethnic idenity to ever is in control, will be no more expropriated.

In this, the traditional rule of both libertarian socialist and anarchistic forms have completely lost their footings. The same is likewise true for Eurocentric social and cultural perceptions over youth, or those who are now under 24 years of age. Teen and young adult parlance, and the accelerated information social revolution is radically bottom-up, as opposed to both traditional education and sociopoliticcal and sociocultural existing vanguard, Thus this social form of revolution is now led by purely techno-informational revolution of the rapid increases in information various forms insourcings trigger by Internet spiders and i now actively triggering human behavioral reorganization of all society.

At one time, a century earlier .. " In the words of Peter Kropotkin, "social revolution means the reorganization of the industrial, economic life of the country and consequently also of the entire structure of society."

However, with William Gates and others in the lead of the Internet Revolution " The keys to power is who is the developer of information content and creating links which matches the focus of ones use of meta taggings. More generally, the term now used to depict social revolution is the resulting outsourcing now affecting human society through massive change in computer hardwear, and more high advanced products of telecommunications, such a cell phones. Soon, and very much the science fiction television tricoder used by the crew of the Star Ship Enterprise is now technically possible within just a few years.

Thus in the view of social revolutions there was the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the American Civil Rights Movement and the 1960 hippie or counterculture.

Now with additional grab for elite bandwidths of both academic information content, and published thesis after the year 1998, and reasearch analysis, the real reformation on religious beliefs, personal identity, freedom of speech, music and arts, fashion, alternative technology or environmentalism has started to decentralised both secondary education and higher education, as well as the popular media. The innovation of the LapTop is very much like the autos used during the 1950 and 60s which created a fire of additional national and International expectations of Americans as a whole.

Presently and possible too late, Islamic thinking, especially under the Shiite school of thought, a social revolution on their sociocultural orthodoxy of how they were created, are now, in the eventual confrontation of this massive globalization of information insourcing [ Which are right now crawling into their own information computer mainframe servers and websites and adding them to their indexs. ] has to be tyrannical and despotic to its people to maintain their radical political ends. In the meantime, those who are under the ages of 26 year s of age and are Arab middle class have already been exposed to the Internet. The resulting reaction caused by the initial underlying concept of an Islamic Revolution, though key concepts that moral freedom is the most important aspect of a human's fundemental needs, cannot condone the affects of its influences on this populace at the sametime. Thus an information cap is implacing an Internal Exile Islamic styled, especially in Iran. What the reaction of this youth sector will become when the sociopolitical processes creates the conditions of social stablization necessary for massive access to the Internet have already been triggered by the resulting needs for emotional liberation, which is historically socioculturally innate within the semitic cultures of this region. Thus the outsourcing of both the context and cultural democratic flow of resulting global scale of information could trigger an Islamic Reformation. If not then a collaspe of Islam itself; this is the present anxiety of " The Radical Islamists, and their drive for controls through impossed self-style political motivated harsh moral codes, along with their personal security anxeities. This philosophy, however, can not regulated the flow of information over the Internet throughout the world, nor into their own homes and children. Key Factor: Over the horizon is the integration of the Internet with satellite telecommunications.

It is for the reason why extremist have already evolving more dramatic computer viruses. This was already successfully used against the Israelis en masse. For those in the West there will be no massive class upheavals but the dramatic changes in the overall perceptual ranges of the emerging society taking benefit from the result of the social revolutions created by the Internet, now is bring about radical forms of cultural democracies to occur within the newer resulting traditions of social intercourse over the Internet.

We all are now in a new age.

The Heroic Generation: Example [ though extreme ] February 16, 2008

Suicide Girls dot Com

As per the past article: Heroic Generation

"This component has likewise appeared in experiences of increasing fustrations in their dealings and learning with their primary and secondary school teachers - who in most instances are unaware of their emerging student traits. This is the additional impact of computer usage and its ability to influence their own innate drives - while most of their parents being totally unaware. Furthermore, those who families have home acccess to the Internet have triggered a unique struggle for this generation of Internet users to find common idenity; this has created the basis for a different more complex cultural society to emerge within America's mulit - cultural mosaic. "

One the extreme examples is Suicide Girls dot Com. The proper place to begin is to warn your on these four points:

One: They do not promote suicide: In fact, if what I have been able to get out of the internet and the various police reports are true; their membership as a satisitcal number have a very low rate of suicides; though they do witness alot of body pain due to piercings and tatoos.

Two: As per their meta tag for description who they have traditionally attracted have already committed thenselves ....

" Suicide Girls SG; Suicide Girls SG Pin Up Girls - Tattooed Girls Goth Punk Emo Alt Girls"

Nevertheless, they do not agressively advocate their behavior. In fact they seem to want an elietism to emerge.

Three: They emerged right out of the Internet, and one of the first group to have done so by the obvious traits they have been so willing to exposed, body curvatures and all on the internet as a resultant of their own innate drives being affected by this medium.

Four: This blog likewise is not adovcating this behavior, but is to give one of the most vivid examples of how the use of the internet have had an affect on early and pre - teen behavior.

In reviewing this group for some years now, what has occured is that there are groups of female youth, teens, and young adults who have rebelled from the emerging orthodoxy of the Feminist Movement which grew out the 1970s. The internet, and the emerging feelings which came about by their observation of their own parents behavior about female role functioning and the growing changes in society, especially further reacting against growing male sociocultural emasculation, as a result force their attention to look and search the Internet to find their answers. And an answer they did find.

They found others who felt and experience the same conditions and desires and the very beginnings of an idenity was formed. The networking component and the very rapid accumilation of personal information about others female teens' behavior, and the complex feelings they reflected grew at an alarming rates beyond the control to their parents to even concieve. They likewise craved a dramatic edge and the only thing which can shock a parent is suicide. And it is the sociocultural realities within their own family structures, whose parents were likewise trying to adjust, which gave them visual power as they started the sculpt [ working on developing sensual body curves ] and decorate their bodies with piercings and tatoos not as protest, but as a very personalized power idenity.

For example with a segment of this group who initiated piercings of their clitorus actually culturally stimulated males who were attracted to their growing culture to actually pierce their testicles; the behavioral proof of their power idenity and affect on young males. This eventually created, likewise. their, Suicide Girls' own subculture of Bi - Sexual Males whose new sexual idenities was the basis in attracting their, Suicide Girls, favors and subsequent memberships into this group. What this meant was to established their own field of dominance within male society to switch as being an intregal part of their, Suicide Girls' own power awareness, and liberating themselves into fully sexually exploring themselves and each other - both super rough and gentle thereby pushing known human limits. All the while respecting human life even more to degree they have also

....become sociocultural icons against teen suicides; their contribution to the term " The Heroic Generation".

At the heart of the various facets of this group is the constant need to find new additional sociocutural edges, and that meant to discover new challenges. Thus the group became more complex, and the real kicker is that some have, now, their emerging leaders have already entered into their own businesses. Which at times they have used their own power sexuality discovery as a utility to gain the edge over competing males and as a result winning. Needless to say, they have likewise created a dream state in which they are likewise too, looking for their own verson of a John Wayne.

Right now they are at this point, and one in which their exist a real wealth of information as they have developed a real culture and dramatic influence. What is coming is still in the works, but one of the most fascinating aspects of the connection between the Internet, the human innate, and the resulting drives which have emerged as a result. Thus this article can not be finished simply due all the results of the emerging culture have not yet emerged.

The Heroic Generation

The New Map of Intellectual Consciousness.

At the cutting edge of Du Avant Garde, is that a civilization's development rest solely on the socio - cultural processes of how it nurtures it's youth. Thus is should be to everyone surprise that something happened previous to the year of 2000. What has happen, is the development of The Heroic Generation of American youth who are now entering the 16 to 18 years of age, as of June, 2006.
Why?

The Critical aspect of this is based on the clear observation that as the American civilization has became more complex, there has been increasing equal complex burdens of sociocultrual and sociopolitical adaptions being made in childrearing techniques by both the parents and children of each family since about 1982 till the present. The forms of these adaptations have magnified the self - perceptions of diversity of the emerging core of youth even more, than their parents own development in their own childhoods'; the present impetus of greater self - discoveries as a result.

The newer aspect....
Then the physical impact of hours and hours being spent at home computers and access to the Internet by children as early as 2 1/2 has likewise created further expansion of the depth of the child's development of their audio and visual perceptions, increasing their range of needed additional information, and emotional needs during all the years afterwards; their growing dependencies upon the Internet.

As of now:
Their resulting increased visual and intellect range [ what is still not yet been measure by present early childhood reseachers - conclusively, and maybe by their present skill research skills unmeasureable ] is far different than their parents. This component has likewise appeared in experiences of increasing fustrations in their dealings and learning with their primary and secondary school teachers - who in most instances are unaware of their emerging student traits. This is the additional impact of computer usage and its ability to influence their own innate drives - while most of their parents being totally unaware. Furthermore, those who families have home acccess to the Internet have triggered a unique struggle for this generation of Internet users to find common idenity; this has created the basis for a different more complex cultural society to emerge within America's mulit - cultural mosaic.

Most amazing is the increasing and voluntary, they are not being forced to commit in using the Internet by their parents, interdiction of the internet experiences into radicalizing their abstractual intellegence, and near fantasy visual ranges in conjunction with the mental impacted sociocultural sphere of influences of present early childhood ( per - 12s ) sensory developments by their parent's sociocultural, socioeconomic, and sociospiritual childrearing efforts [ What the parents are passing on and the advance technique they likewise have used from the radical 1970's. ]. Moreover, their developmental causal extrapolations of rapid access and installation of competant and more highly advanced usage of computer soft wear technologies, and internet prowless has impacted new adaptations after 12 YO ( and at a critical developmental stage Piget/Erickson); thereby creating new unkown emotional structures which has their further generated biological resultant imprints on this population's innate drives. There is no research known within this area either.

Part conclusion...

" Similar to design technology functions invested in computer advance technologies and rapid streaming of mass information within the growing massive information insourcing spiders of the Internet ( here before never used by previous generations ) have had a radical impact which are largely the additional unknowns confronted by todays parents and unfortunately and similarly by present University educators as well. They, " you " [ if " you " fall into this generation ] are now the outsourcing resultants"
Now, historically, now, this process has created new emotional and intellectual structures and have been observed to be firmly inserted into this generations' overall personality traits which is generated by every single successful experience during time durations [ after an unknown quanity of time expended ] related computer access obtained by the child user. In dealing with present forms of how children are integrated into society this has created a separate intellect, nonetheless, and thus forming new resultant and yet unkown " impacted innate intellectual drives which are increasingly creating emotional technocentered more adpated " new corridors."

Presently this has been recently touched on, largely in their emerging emotional fields, by Presidential Canidate Barack Obama. His campaign use of the Internet and who, the users, he has been getting his political message to, and likewise his contributions from.

Part conclusion ....
Simply the causal resultant of increased usage and depth of range of their nervous systems has result in a different intellectual population.

It is what is contained within in this new corridor is their main future focus of unity. How internet experiences have impacted their own personal, and individual bio - spheres, and the resultant increased locations and more diverse usage of their brain stimulus is still even the greater unknown - even to themselves.

Thus and unlike Gertude Stein quote about the " Lost Generation " We now have the " Heroic Generation. " In a historic review we have had Heroic Generations born in 1745, 1832, 1876, 1919, 1946, and then 1982.

What is even more surprising is that they have caught upon certain indenity ethos which is in its initial stages of social and cultural evolution - development; and are just now being defined by themselves, while others outsiders are in the dark. Moreover, the socio-spirituality of this genertion is their special gifts.

The result in art, music, and others is just now appearing at their other edges....

This is leading us to the....

The impact of which will be felt culturally around the year 2016. Politically is the greater unknown, can Barack Obama tap into it? No one knows...

The Ithaca Downtown Partnership

The Ithaca Commons WebSite and The Ithaca Urban Entertainment Center and Construction Directory WebPage was generate as a supplement to Ithaca Night Life ( NightLife ), NY. This is part of a promotional process in which to attract more tourist to the local scene and thereby creating an additional economic reality locally by tourism.

The singificant factor in promoting centers, IE. the Ithaca Commons is that it draws [ There are less parking problems now - a - days too ! ] people into a central area in which to be seen and at times meet friends all the while shopping at exotic shops. Recently, several downtown merchants have been doing complete face lifts on their stores facades and thus with the additional construction and new mass traniset stations Ithaca is about to be - renewed.
