Hey all, I wrote a review of Elisa Camiscioli's wonderful new book _Selling French Sex: Prostitution, Trafficking, and Global Migrations_ in the latest issue of the Journal of Modern History. The book is a fascinating read. www-journals-uchicago-edu.proxy048.nclive.org/doi/10.1086/...

Excited that my article "Feathered Foes: Bird Preservation, National Identity, & Fashion in Belle Époque France," is in the latest issue of French Politics, Culture & Society.

Image of the cover page of a journal article by Patricia Tilburg in the latest issue of French Politics, Culture & Society titled, “Feathered Foes: Bird Preservation, National Identity, and Fashion in Belle Époque France.” the image includes the abstract: "When turn-of-the-century environmentalists in the U.S. and Europe began to promote legislative action against the use of exotic bird feathers in women’s fashion, French naturalists stood apart from their Anglo-American colleagues in offering an ecological program that emphasized the needs of the French feather trade. This article explores the particular French cultural investment in fashion not only by feather tradesmen but also by conservationists from the 1890s through the 1920s."

Ted Chiang: "The task that generative A.I. has been most successful at is lowering our expectations, both of the things we read and of ourselves when we write [...]. It is a fundamentally dehumanizing technology because it treats us as less than what we are: creators and apprehenders of meaning."

Let’s talk about the architecture of Wicked. 🚨 Spoilers ahead: At first, I was intrigued by the shift of the depiction of Oz from Art Deco (in The Wizard of Oz, 1939) to Art Nouveau. But after seeing the movie, I can’t stress how absolutely brilliant production designer Nathan Crowley is.

What about Schorske’s Fin de Siècle Vienna? You get to talk about psychoanalysis, politics, art, architecture, urban planning, nationalism, antisemitism. I’ve taught it in upper-level courses. Not sure for all first years but having a whole semester would be really cool.
