De expatriado, que tem a possibilidade de escolher viver fora do seu país por um dado período de tempo, ele passa a exilado, um proscrito, ser remetido às margens do seu próprio país, onde deixa de ...ter lugar: " (...) até chegar finalmente à conclusão de que o mal talvez não fosse dele, mas do país em que desgraçadamente tinha tido o azar de nascer, onde nem o povo nem as elites tinham a cultura e a preparação suficientes para compreender uma arte como a sua" (444). Através do seu trabalho artístico, contacta com a nata da sociedade americana da época e conhece aquela que viria a tornar-se sua esposa em 1908: é um novo Queiroz Ribeiro-agora Conde de Santa Eulália-que emerge neste cenário, perfeitamente ajustado às exigências do contexto social em que se movimenta, confortável na sua nova identidade. Contudo, o impacto de um exílio forçado da sua terra natal continua a fazer-se sentir nos pequenos eventos do dia-a-dia: seja na necessidade que sente de preservar determinados hábitos, como o da apreciação do bom vinho português (ainda que contra a vontade da esposa), seja na recusa em aceitar a introdução do automóvel como novo meio de transporte, e todo o conceito de modernidade que lhe é adjacente, ou na aquisição de cavalos lusitanos para se fazer transportar em Filadélfia.

What is stone in Stone Butch Blues? This essay
looks to the material properties of stone and stonelike objects to re-examine
the affective and relational specificity of stone butch sexuality in ...Leslie
Feinberg's Stone Butch Blues (1993). It invokes recent
ecological and new materialist critiques within queer theory to return to this
monumental text for the purpose of establishing the contemporary relevance of
stone butch sexuality, now an outmoded sexual orientation. By taking seriously
the text's nonhuman signifiers, this essay argues that hard and obdurate
materials and their inherent mutability provide a source of language and theory
for the emergence of stone butch life in 1950s Buffalo. Stone's rigidity, I
argue, is inherently connected to the imaginative and ephemeral possibilities of
desire that mark stone butch sexuality. The material qualities of stone endow it
with an expansive temporality from the deep past to the far future with and
beyond human life, and this material endurance points to temporal orientations
in the novel that resist historicization and insist upon a futural existence for
the stone butch “yet to come.” To conclude, the essay turns to Jacques Derrida's
Archive Fever (1996) to demonstrate how stone, as the very
embodiment of an archive, counters impulses to memorialize and charts a deviant
future for the stone butch through the transformative potential of material
life.
In 1880, the second issue of the widely-read Revue des deux mondes presented an idiosyncratic melange of contents, ranging from an essay on the state of French agriculture to the first instalment of ...a serialized novel - nothing of obvious note to scholars of modern sculpture. However, this issue also contained two articles that share a certain consonance with the work Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) produced during a pivotal phase of his career.
Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, and Auguste Rodin. The names of these brilliant nineteenth-century artists are known throughout the world. But what is remembered of their wives? What were these unknown ...women like? What roles did they play in the lives and the art of their famous husbands?
In this remarkable book of discovery, art historian Ruth Butler coaxes three shadowy women out of obscurity and introduces them for the first time as individuals. Through unprecedented research, Butler has been able to create portraits of Hortense Fiquet, Camille Doncieux, and Rose Beuret-the models, and later the wives, respectively, of Cézanne, Monet, and Rodin, three of the most famous French artists of their generation. The book tells the stories of three ordinary women who faced issues of a dramatically changing society as well as the challenges of life with a striving genius. Butler illuminates the ways in which these model-wives figured in their husbands' achievements and provides new analyses of familiar works of art. Filled with captivating detail, the book recovers the lives of Hortense, Camille, and Rose, and recognizes with new insight how their unique relationships enriched the quality of their husbands' artistic endeavors.
In his search for an effective form for his famous Burghers of Calais (1884–1895), Auguste Rodin seems to have looked at medieval models. The emotional expressiveness of medieval sculpture also ...inspired Gustav Vigeland who refers in his early works to Rodin’s Burghers in “medieval dress”. This article aims to compare Vigeland’s references to medieval art with those of Rodin and to examine their recourse to the art of the Middle Ages in the socio-political and historical context of their time.

Journal Article
At the 2014 Woolf Conference at Loyola University, the silent auction table displayed a first US edition of Woolf's To the Lighthouse in excellent condition with original book jacket. The novel ...paints Lily's life into the "missing" years of To the Lighthouse: as a suffragette, nurse, and professional artist. Or placing the life of La Malincha, lover of Cortés, alongside Zora Neale Hurston who, towards the end of her career, hoped to discover an ancient Mayan city and wrote a Guggenheim proposal while living in a town called Puerto Cortés (Humm 1991). What the research also did, was to bring me much closer than ever before, to a fuller sensation of Woolf's worlds-the smell and feel of Talland House's escallonia hedge, an almost haptic sense of the impact of bombs on London's buildings, streets and inhabitants.
