Fan Yang, Media and Communications Studies, on FlowTV An August 14 piece by Fan Yang, assistant professor of Media and Communications Studies, for FlowTV discussed the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. “How London Responded to Beijing in the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony” contrasted the London ceremony with that of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, noting that the Danny-Boyled production of July 27th “follow[ed] a rather simple strategy: whatever China did, we do the opposite.” These differences ranged from an individualist vs. collective ethos, to a comparatively light-hearted party atmosphere as opposed to 2008’s manifestation of “the [Chinese] Communist Party’s burning desire to be recognized globally” as … ]]> An August 14 piece by Fan Yang, assistant professor of Media and Communications Studies, for FlowTV discussed the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. “How London Responded to... https://news.umbc.edu/fan-yang-media-and-communications-studies-on-flowtv/ https://my3.my.umbc.edu/api/v0/pixel/news/110506/guest@my.umbc.edu/715bddd24fc970487a19d75a2579d77d/api/pixel mcs policy-and-society UMBC News https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/umbc-news https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/xsmall.png?1632921809 https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/original.png?1632921809 https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/xxlarge.png?1632921809 https://assets1-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/xlarge.png?1632921809 https://assets1-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/large.png?1632921809 https://assets1-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/medium.png?1632921809 https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/small.png?1632921809 https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/xsmall.png?1632921809 https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/xxsmall.png?1632921809 UMBC News 0 0 false Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:53:55 -0400 Ellen Handler Spitz, Visual Arts, in The New Republic’s “The Book”

Ellen Handler Spitz, honors college professor of visal arts, discussed author Betsy Rosenthal’s latest children’s book Looking for Me for her monthly column in The New Republic.

The book follows its protagonist Edith Paul, the fourth of twelve children born to a working-class Jewish family, as she grows up in Baltimore during the 1930’s. Over the course of the short book, Edith experiences poverty, bigotry, and even death within the family as a sibling succombs to illness.

Spitz noted the Tolstoyan aspects of Rosenthal’s novel, drawing parallels with the seemingly inconsequential decision of a French corporal to re-enlist in War and Peace with the witnessing of Edith’s graduation, a moment in which the girl “learns that, like Tolstoy’s thousandth corporal, she matters.”

The column, “Learning to Matter,” appeared in the magazine on August 15.
