2. 'Suitable for Lay Reader': Dickinson, Kinsey, and Mrs. Dutcher's Cards at the New York Academy of Medicine Library

Author

Subjects
New York, New York. Public Library, Sex (Psychology), Natural resources -- United Kingdom, History, Library and information science
Abstract

In the late 1930s, Dr. Robert Latou Dickinson enlisted three New York society women to create an annotated card index for the New York Academy of Medicine Library's sexuality collections. These bibliographers assigned each item a rating ('suitable for lay reader,' 'suitable for scientific reader,' or 'pornographic'). Dickinson lobbied for the establishment of a sex education library at the academy for medical practitioners and the public, using the annotated cards to make his case. He enlisted Alfred Kinsey to support the project. This article describes the library activism of two influential sexologists who believed sexual information should be available to a wider public. KEYWORDS: medical libraries, sexuality, access, Alfred Kinsey, Robert Latou Dickinson, IN 1918 MARIE STOPES, THE BRITISH BIRTH CONTROL advocate and campaigner for women's rights, published Married Love and Wise Parenthood. The books were instant bestsellers in Britain, devoured by readers [...]

4. Feeling Familial Separation: Emotions, Agency, and Holocaust Refugee Youths

Abstract

During the years of the Nazi regime, well over 1,000 European Jewish youths migrated to the United States in organized unaccompanied child migration schemes. These youths left an abundant, and largely untapped, trove of sources in which they constructed narratives of their lives and emotions to their parents in letters, to their social workers in their various interactions, and to themselves in their diaries. Though refugee youths undeniably felt a range of emotions, in this article I suggest that emotional expression tells us less about the emotional inner lives of youths than the attempt to exert and subvert control and power in a topsy-turvy world. By drawing attention to the language of emotions, their inherent power dynamics, and the potential gulf between emotions and experience, this article opens a conversation about our capacity to document children's agency and to study emotions to explain decision-making and experience. Key words: childhood, emotions, Holocaust, refugees, In 1947, eighteen-year-old Phyllis Mattson (nee Felicitas Finkel) began to take stock of her life's hard knocks. Mattson had arrived in the United States seven years earlier, having crossed the [...]

10. Coleridge's Translation of the Song of Deborah

Author

Bornstein, Lilach Naishtat

Subjects

Abstract

Coleridge wrote a translation of the first ten verses of the Song of Deborah in September 1798, while on a boat overseas on the way to Germany, in what was his first-ever voyage outside of England. This article offers a close reading of this manuscript, which has not yet been examined thoroughly by scholars, and suggests what lay behind Coleridge's choice to translate it at this specific moment in his life and career. The Song of Deborah in fact continued to fascinate the poet throughout his life, especially in relation to the innovative Romantic poetics he developed together with William Wordsworth. Translating the Song of Deborah was Coleridge's first experience with translating Hebrew. As such, it provides early evidence of his grasp of Hebrew, as well as his understanding of the act of translating, both of which he was to develop further later in life. The text in question thus constituted an experimental exercise for Coleridge during a transitional period in his career, in which it is clear that he was playing with the tonal qualities of the Hebrew words and their multiplicity of meanings, including intra- and interlinguistic ones, as well as aspects of the language's polyphony and its use of tautological repetition., Samuel Taylor Coleridge's translation of the first ten verses of the Song of Deborah was his first experience with translating Hebrew. This choice of text was not an obvious one. [...]

Abstract

After a disaster, news reports and online platforms often document the swift response of public libraries supporting their communities. Despite current scholarship focused on social media in disasters, early uses of social media as an extension of library services require further scrutiny. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recognized Hurricane Sandy as one of the earliest U.S. disasters in which first responders used social media. This study specifically examines early uses of Twitter by selected public libraries as an information tool during Sandy's aftermath. Results can inform uses of social media in library response to future disasters., INTRODUCTION In the Digital Age of instantaneous communication, when disasters hit, they hit us all. The fall and winter of 2017-18 brought a literal and figurative deluge to our screens [...]
