Synopsis

In "By Ox Team to California," Lavinia Honeyman Porter offers a vivid and meticulously detailed account of her journey westward during the California Gold Rush. Written with a keen eye for the intricacies of pioneer life, the narrative blends elements of travel literature and memoir, reflecting the challenges and triumphs faced by those who traversed the rugged landscape by ox-drawn wagon. Porter's prose is characterized by its authenticity and emotional resonance, providing a rare perspective on the perseverance and spirit of early American settlers amidst the harsh realities of frontier existence. Lavinia Honeyman Porter was a dedicated pioneer and a talented writer whose life experiences greatly informed her work. Born in the mid-19th century, Porter's own migration to California deeply influenced her perspective on the American West. Her background as an educator and community leader adds a layer of depth to her narrative, allowing her to convey not only the physical hardships of the journey but also the underlying social dynamics among her fellow travelers. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in American history, women's narratives, or the pioneering spirit of the 19th century. Porter's work not only serves as a historical document but also as an inspiration, showcasing the resilience and courage that define the American experience.

    This is Not New - Art Culture...

    Praise for Curationism: "Balzer writes with zest, skepticism, and sly humor" —Sheila Heti, author of Pure Colour 
     
     
     
    What does it mean to call something "new"? Why is Western art and culture, even after postmodernism, still so obsessed with the concept? What are the consequences of relying on culture to bring about social change? 
     
     
     
    In this provocative book, David Balzer argues that Western culture was never designed to produce truly new or original artifacts. Rather, we move from fixation to fixation, trend to trend—a cycle of creation and destruction with deep origins in Judeo-Christianity and the paganism that preceded it. The culture industry promises its own form of change while preserving existing systems of power exactly as they are. 
     
     
     
    From the New Jerusalem to the New Left, from Vannevar Bush to Kate Bush, This is Not New asks difficult questions about the role of culture not in making change, but in delaying—even preventing—it.
