At mealtimes he is seated at the “cat’s table”—as far from the Captain’s Table as can be—with a ragtag group of “insignificant” adults and two other boys, Cassius and Ramadhin. As the ship makes its way across the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, the boys tumble from one adventure to another, bursting all over the place like freed mercury. As the narrative moves between the decks and holds of the ship and the boy’s adult years, it tells a spellbinding story—by turns poignant and electrifying—about the magical, often forbidden, discoveries of childhood and a lifelong journey that begins unexpectedly with a spectacular sea voyage. less

Talk | Paul Shaw discusses his book Helvetica and the New York City Subway System


More than a tale of a typeface. If you use subways or select fonts, you'll enjoy this book talk. There more is a common belief, reinforced by Gary Hustwit's documentary film Helvetica, that Helvetica is the signage typeface of the New York City subway system. But it is not true - or rather, it is only somewhat true. Helvetica is the official typeface of the MTA today, but it was not the typeface specified by Unimark International when they created the signage system at the end of the 1960s. Why was Helvetica not chosen originally? what was chosen in its place? why is Helvetica now used? when did the changeover occur? Paul Shaw answers these questions and then goes beyond them to look at how the subway's signage system has evolved over the past forty years. The resulting story is more than a tale of a typeface. It is a look at the forces that have molded a signage system. Paul Shaw an award-winning graphic designer, typographer, and calligrapher in New York City, teaches at Parsons School of Design and the School of Visual Arts. He is the coauthor of Blackletter: Type and National Identity and writes about letter design in the blog Blue Pencil. less

Discussion | Conversaciones: Latinos in the Arts


The New York metropolitan area’s Latino population numbered 50 million in the 2010 census, up from more 35 million in the 2000 census. The number of Hispanic-owned businesses is consistently growing, along with the consumer clout of the Spanish speaking community. Despite significant gains, challenges and barriers to growth remain, obstructing the advantages of full economic potential at the individual level and limiting expansion and productivity at the macroeconomic level. And yet, there remains a growing need for creative talent in a bilingual market that demands media that can address the cultural needs of the Latino community. The upcoming mesa redonda, which will be moderated by MTV2’s Desi Sanchez, will address jobs in the bilingual marketplace and how individuals can use their Latino background as an advantage in an increasingly competitive job market. less

Lecture | From Irish Exile to Welsh Celebrity: The Queer Self-Fashioning of the Ladies of Llangollen


A lecture by Fiona Brideoake, Literature, American University. Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby more eloped together from Kilkenny in 1778. They settled in the North Welsh village of Llangollen, their location on the road linking Dublin and London ensuring them a steady stream of prominent guests. Throughout their fifty-one years of domestic ‘retirement,’ Butler and Ponsonby were plagued by insinuations that their relationship was sexual. They responded by transforming their cottage into a Gothic mansion clad in local oak, masking their status as impecunious and sexually suspect exiles with a literal veneer of Welsh historicity. They established an extensive private library and located themselves within gentry and aristocratic networks of literary sociability, consolidating their affective alliances and distancing themselves from the charges of female social and sexual mobility associated with public circulating libraries. They cultivated friends including Edmund Burke; the Duke of Wellington; George Canning, and Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh, drawing on Anglo-Irish social capital while asserting their enduring association with the picturesque Vale of Llangollen, this performative identity eventually reified by their designation as ‘the Ladies of Llangollen.’ Accounts of their inscrutable intimacy circulated widely in print and epistolary form, rendering them among the most significant cultural celebrities of late-Georgian Britain. less
