Poster-Making Session
Wednesday, March 5
4:30 p.m. in Sverdrup 205
Celebration: Dr. Brian Greening
Wednesday March 5, 2014
12-2 p.m.
McNair Scholars Lounge
152 Science Hall
Please join us for some cake to celebrate as on Thursday, February 20, 2014, TRIO-McNair Scholars Assistant Director Brian Greening successfully defended his dissertation in American Studies at Saint Louis University.
Titled "Representing New Orleans: Race, Space, and the Spectacle of Progress in the Crescent City Since 1965," the project is a social and political history of contemporary New Orleans focused on the Crescent City's monumental post-war building program, in particular the Louisiana Superdome. As Brian argues, in constructing the Superdome, the city's elite charted an at-all-costs building model for New Orleans, all while fashioning a malleable, raceless monument for themselves. What they created, was, in effect, a spectacle of progress--an image of social, cultural, and economic prosperity. Bolstered by a new highway system, a rebuilt riverfront, and a sparkling new stadium, New Orleans in the mid-1970s took on the appearance of a modern metropolis. However, the image proved to be superficial in that it veiled New Orleans's dramatic population shifts, radical economic transformations, and looming environmental dangers. Hurricane Katrina laid bare these problems when, during a week span in late summer of 2005, the Superdome became a staging ground where the ill effects of New Orleans's postindustrial turn played out.
Using the Superdome as a primary object of analysis, Brian's project reveals how constructing the stadium paralleled other, similarly spectacular building projects in the years that followed, leaving behind a residue of artificial progress that remains in New Orleans to this day.
