We were elitist because students from aviation and pedagogical institutions and universities joined the army, and that is why the atmosphere in our detachments was intellectually high. We had serious discussions, we took a record player with us and listened to classical music, and then we swore not to be in love with anybody until the end of the war. We thought that our main task was to fight and not to have dates. In 1943 there was a kind of breakthrough in the war at Kursk. At last our people realized and could see the victory, and that's why we permitted ourselves to be loved! Our detachment often had the same airfield as the men. We had dates and were in love with the boys. But I want to tell you that I speak rather often before young people, and I tell them that only during the war did I feel an atmosphere of man's nobility, a readiness to help. After the war, I never felt that in men's attitudes toward myself or the ladies. […] After the war I was fed up with aviation, and I decided to choose the most humane profession - teaching. I graduated from a teachers' training institute and worked as a teacher for ten years in secondary schools. Then I defended my dissertation, took the doctor's degree, and finally moved up to the position of director of the Institute of Theory and History of Education. And really I am happy. It was a noble war for our people; it was a great patriotic, enthusiastic feeling for all young people. For example, my younger brother was seventeen years old, and he added one year to his age to be accepted into the army. He was only at the front one year when he was killed near Kiev. His friend wrote to me how he had been killed, and I went there because it was twenty kilometers from where our regiment was stationed. I rushed there and opened his grave, and with their help I put him into a coffin, and then we reburied him. I could never do that now, when I'm sixty-eight years old, but then I was so young and brave, and he was so young, eighteen years old, and he had never even kissed a girl. Eighteen, and he was a commander of some detachment. We lost so many, and the best people, the best men. Some specialists think that we spoiled our genetic fund because we lost the best. The first to fight and the first to be killed. The last of my war experience is that I have more than one hundred sisters. We regularly meet twice a year in front of the Bolshoi Theater on the second of May and the eighth of November. Outsiders look, and they can't understand old ladies that sing and make noise. Of course this war was a just war, and that is why we are proud of our participation.

(Though she never mentions it in her interview, Lt. Pozhidayeva met her own husband during the war in a very funny episode - Captain Klavdiya Terekhova-Kasatkina's interview tells the story.)

4 9 17 for the fic asks? ❤

Heyyy! Thank you sm for the ask ❤

4: has a fic ever made you cry?

Oh 100% yes.

For example, Pianos are made for Falling punched me in the heart and occasionally I think about it and have another cry. A classic case of make sure you read the tags kids!

I went through a very masochistic fic reading phase earlier this year and this is just the first example I could think of...

9: what are your favourite ships to read fics for?

So I think if there is a theme, my fav ships boil down to "traumatized cinnamon roll needs a hug". Make of that what you will...

Some examples:

Merlin x any character treating Merlin kindly (so that can include Merthur, but usually more Merwaine, Mercelot, Mergwen, etc)

James Flint x Thomas Hamilton (Black Sails)

Max x Anne Bonny (Black Sails)

Bilbo Baggins x Thorin Oakenshield (The Hobbit)

I am also increasingly a polyam shipper haha, particularly for BBC Merlin...

17: canon-compliant or canon, what canon?

Oh, canon should take a well-deserved weekend away and turn off it's phone. Don't worry canon, we'll look after the house while you're away - take as long as you like!

Noggle I'm slightly terrified how much this set of questions has revealed about me...

Fanfic ask game

Seeing Ourselves: Women’s Self-Portraits by Frances Borzello - Research

16.03.2019

This book contains a selections of self-portraits made by women artists, reflecting the changes and developments that were made over the centuries in how women saw themselves and the story behind those self-portraits.

Reading this book, I came across inspiring work from women that I had never seen before. I wouldn’t say I clearly chose a couple of images and try to reproduce them but I looked more at the expressions or the gestures they were taking over those self-representations. I guess it was a way to approach it, but then it was when I learned about the artists themselves and why they posed this way that really inspired me. 

There is a belief that women practising self-portraits weren’t completely interested in what their body looked like, at a certain point in history, it became more about curiosity and reality. In her book, the author comments on changes that appeared with photography and self-portrait linking them to being human: “ The mirror becomes a symbol of this search for the truth behind the surface. Finally throwing off its link with vanity, it is now used to suggest the complexity of being human.” (p.158).

Artists have been using the genre of self-portrait to introduce different concerns about their surroundings, especially in the 1970′s when a new waves of feminism started, questioning the place of women in society. On one of self-portrait with her sister, photographer Anne Noggle looks into the effects and changes of getting older, showing a certain need for women to reach perfection. I like the fact that she included her sister in the image, it intensifies the fact that most of us are doing it. I personally always felt a certain need of perfection and when I realised it wasn’t always possible I almost felt relief about it.

When I was reading it, I wondered if sometimes women painters while painting themselves were “improving” their physical appearance or were they looking for a truthful representation of themselves. Knowing how quickly and easily we can do it nowadays with filters or photoshop, were they making themselves “look better”.

Some Soviet pilots flew over our regimental airfield at zero altitude. Then we saw that something was dropped from the plane. Our commander was very strict and said, "That is forbidden, and the pilot must be punished." Well, of course it might have created an accident. Then he sent a technician to find what was dropped. What he brought back was a big teddy bear. I don't know where they procured it, but there was a notice pinned to the bear that said: "Dear young girls, we just learned we are escorting you. Don't you get frightened; we'll do everything to defend you, fight for you with the last drop of our blood. Thank you!" That was a gift from the sky. These were the fighters who escorted our bombers. Every bomber flight going out on missions is supposed to have fighter escorts. I was a sergeant and an aircrew machine gunner. At first I was the only woman machine gunner in the whole regiment. All the other gunners were men, because physically it was very difficult. I used to do gymnastics, ride horses, and row a scull, too, so I had a lot of strength. I asked Marina Raskova to let me fly. At first they wanted to make me a weapons mechanic. Then I asked her, and she liked me and I liked her, and she said, "Well, I will take you in my plane once and see what you look like." She couldn't tell very well without doing that. We flew, and it was enough for her that I didn't throw up on my first flight. Then she said I should take up the studies for two or three months, and that should be enough for me. [...] The most interesting thing that I remember since [being shot down] is that I communicated by radio with somebody in the ground forces and told them of our despair and our situation. So on the ground we were waiting for help, and then we saw some soldiers, infantry soldiers, crawling up to us. But we saw that they were our soldiers, and what do you think they came with? Big green leaves, and these leaves were full of strawberries! Probably they heard us talking and knew we were women, the gift sent to them from the sky. That was the first nice thing during this war - red strawberries, beautiful strawberries in green leaves!

(a partial continuation of this post)

This is a mostly complete list of non-fiction books I have read about WWII, semi-categorized. A lot of these are first person accounts, but not all. I recommend them all, though a couple with a bit of caution (namely, these being real accounts of real people, some situations and discussions deal with some unpleasant topics - and I mean beyond the obvious warfare and Holocaust ones) - if anyone wants details or has questions, please ask and I will answer as best as memory serves.

This is by no means a complete list of books you should read if you are interested in the subject, but merely a list of ones I have read and think worth a mention. Also, although I have categorized as best I can, a lot of the books have overlap in more than one category, and some books maybe categorized under one subheading for lack of a more specific one.

This post will be frequently edited (I currently have two WWII books out from the library and one or two more I recently purchased). Asterisks indicate cross-posting between categories.

7A Lecture Notes 04/06/20

We Will Rock You (different artist) Brian May

-common refrain, was common when he invented the clap and chair

-ideal to stamp on benches

Identity - How do we define ourselves? How do we determine who we are and how do we define ourselves? “everything you make is being made by every experience….” -Maya Lin

“americans have no identity.. but they do have good teeth”

Gaucho

-party school

-nobody comes here @ Halloween - not this crazy school anymore but still known that way

-still a stigma, a legend of a party school we have to live down = deltopia

-social media goes with us forever (no privacy)

How do we process who are we ? Who are you ? What are you ?

Classifications as Homosapiens

-gender, age, marital status, relationship status, race, etc.

*Tina Fey started young humor to get people to like her, then it defined her

-trying to attach value to what we see of someone online - especially during pandemic. a pressure ? -create an online persona (bios, etc.) create a person we wanna be, partially not us

*Phelps goal medals vs dope

*50 cents shock value

-identity of a virus

*pepsi ad - version of trying to create an identity for money spenders

-pepsi is better than state violence? what are they trying to say? Criticism from BLM! insensitive - kendal jenner “i have a dream”

-cyber-bullying -> more support and resources (one positive)

-digital scandals such as *rutgers coach

*Albert Chong - Jamaican passport & many other shots (pinecone) innate instinct with art

i like his work!! Copper - i wanna try tracing over copper. 

*Anne Noggle 

-*Artifact (do not honor age and wisdom) 

-reclaiming one’s identity, figure, gender

-older woman do not get the recognition they deserve unless they are still hot (hot woman over 50!) “i love being 50, I am invisible, I am like a spy)

Reflexivity - an act of self-reference in which an artwork draws attention to itself and its creation, often calling attention to the work itself as an artificial consultant

-anne noggle touches on this, on aging, facelifts, pressures of society, she shows what you do not normally see but what all feel

-how you ignore the housekeeper

Three components of a Portrait

-portrait of the subject

-portrait of the artist

-portrait of the relationship between the two

-its 3 am, you are low on gas. What do you do? (male identified=get gas)

-easy example of male privilege 

*Carrie Mae James - Ain’t Jokin

-stereotypes of black woman and people (water melon, fried chicken, tribal, etc)

*Linsanity! Asian male gone from seen as asexual to sexual ?

*Adrian Piper - My Calling card, 1986

*Angelica Dass, Humanae, 2014

*Jin Lee, Face Series, 1987

*Cindy sherman, Untitled Fim Series

-conscious about our external identities

*Ai Wei Wei cam - ordered to stop by Chinese government ! (he was sensored)

-installation: involves location in work itself

*Tatsumi Orimoto

-bread man

-Altzheimer mother

“the existence of my mother is art”

-influence in FLUXUS - art is in all life

*Dress to Kill: video  Izzard

-trans before trans was a word

-good humor (gun)

*Cyncin Cyncin American Princess

Assignment : take a walk and take a dozen photos (a room or a journey through neighborhood)

12 photographs

-walk and define space by where you are going first

-12 photos relate conceptually (familiar houses that mean something to me..)

-ideas: neighbors..! make them link. connect in some way.

-excursion being goofy, Jess hanson on roof, Gig or Dylan with surfboards, Amelia and Yeike in front yard with guitar, dome house being dome house, cheetah with skateboards (?), our house in our backyard.. yard being yard, van? , across street guys w boards

-home is wherever you feel warmth

RESPONSE

Today’s lecture was really intriguing and thought provoking in terms of identity and how one portrays themselves, especially in an external and virtual ways. I loved learning about artists such as Carrie Mae James, Albert Chong, and Anne Noggle who challenged stereotypes and classifications that homo sapiens normally cling to. I adored how Tatsumi Orimoto portrayed her mother, and this especially touched me as a family member just passed away from alzheimer’s disease. Works that portray reflexivity always make me excited to get my hands dirty and create as I feel that just as they are, I am, a part of the piece they have created. I think that knowing about the artist, or being illusive such as Banksy, really changes how a viewer will understand and interact with the work - and that is something one must be tactical with. We knowingly or subconsciously portray ourselves to the world for others to observe us as we may want to be seen, just as the world-famous comedian Tina Fey started cracking jokes to make friends in the fifth grade.
