Sheehan M
oore\, Anthropology:
This project examines images that claim repr
esentational authority over future landscapes in southern Louisiana. These
images include maps and digital renderings of disappeared coastlines\, subs
iding lands\, and underwater Main Streets – topog
raphies that do not yet exist but that nevertheless demand action in the pr
esent. They enter circulation in urgent news stories and fifty year urban m
aster plans\, and they are magnets for words like ‘resilience’ and ‘retreat
.’ At public planning meetings\, predictive maps that stage the parish land
scape over coming decades are important guides for community decision-makin
g. In order to better understand these risky images\, the futures they purp
ort to represent\, and their effects in the present\, this project asks aft
er the kinds of data sets and attendant assumptions that go into mapping th
ese not-yet-existent landscapes. What inclusions and omissions make them po
ssible? What contingencies or uncertainties are elided? These questions can
help us understand how representations of climate futures set the paramete
rs for action and imagination.

Federico Di Pasqua\, Classics:
Introduction to Classical Cultures is a video-podcast series about the
Classics that features motion graphic design to provide a smart and enjoyab
le overview of Greek and Latin literature. The series is aimed to update th
e teaching approach of the classics\, bringing it closer to the rest of the
humanities. Subjects of the podcast-series will be the works of the most i
mportant Classical authors\, which largely coincide with the course “Classi
cal Cultures” offered in most universities in the United States. The six vi
deos—three about Greek authors\, three about Latin authors—will cover the
major literary genres of antiquity and will be in chronological order\, so
as to offer a general overview on Classical culture.

Anders Alex Wallace\, Anthropology:
Fro
m Berlin to Beijing\, men are joining seduction communities (charm schools)
to learn skills in dating women. These communities raise questions of inti
macy\, consent\, and authenticity as problems for men who learn techniques
of social persuasion as they seek to attract women and transform their pers
onal identities. By displacing sexual inhibitions\, these communities focus
on developing forms of social capital through “weak ties” (Putnam 2000) th
at allow men to feel a sense of belonging in impersonal urban environments.
This project uses digital software for text mining and topic modeling of b
ig data to find out how men are developing an embodied sense of masculine i
dentity through standardized training in seduction skills. Conducting stati
stical analyses and comparisons among prescriptive texts (ebooks and seduct
ion manuals) with descriptive accounts (digitally published diaries) of use
rs’ experiences and mishaps in striving to embody so-called “alpha masculin
ity\,” this project aims to discover what kinds of social intimacies follow
from the labor of dating consultants\, and what happens to those men who b
uild social communities—both online and in real life—around their practices
. For which men do seduction skills come to be thought of as integral to th
eir self-fashioning? How does rationalizing intimacy create new forms of po
wer and dependency between men? What do seduction communities reveal about
the vulnerabilities and frailties of masculinity today? This research is be
ing developed for public view using Scalar\, a multimedia storytelling plat
form. Please visit the website for more information.
