Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies Princeton University
PROOF AND PERSUASION In the two academic years 1992-94 the subject of the Seminar of the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies will be PROOF AND PERSUASION. The Davis Center invites applications for fellowships or proposals for pa- pers on the allied themes of proof and persuasion. By proof we have in mind the divergent histories of what constitutes evidence in different professions, scholarly and scientific disciplines, and other spheres of hu- man activity. Examples would include changing canons of estab- lishing proof in history, theology, medicine, and other fields of the humanities and sciences: methods of establishing facts and ascertain- ing guilt or innocence in legal cases; and the ways that facts are es- tablished in public or political discourse. By persuasion we mean the multiple techniques used to win or coerce assent, from the rhetorical devices of sermons and news accounts and the visual devices of ad- vertising and popular prints to the mechanical devices of torturers. We are especially interested in richly suggestive case studies whose juxta- position during the two years of the seminar would deepen historical understanding of the problem of truth and relativism. We welcome ap- plications from people working in all periods and geographical areas, and from other disciplines. The Center will offer a limited number of Research Fellowships for one or two semesters, running from September to January and from Febru- ary to June, designed for highly recommended younger scholars, as well as for senior scholars with established reputations. Candidates must have finished their dissertations and must have a full-time paid po- sition to wich they can return. Fellows are expected to live in Prince- ton in order to take an active part in the intellectual interchange with other members of the Seminar. Funds are limited, and candidates are, therefore, strongly urged to apply to other grant-giving institutions as well as the Center, if they wish to come for a full year. Inquiries and requests for Fellowship Application Forms should be ad- dressed to the Secretary, Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Stud- ies, 129 Dickinson Hall, Princeton University, Princeton, N.J. 08544-1017, U.S.A. The deadline for applications and letters of recommendation for fellowships for 1992-93 is December 1,1991 and for 1993-94 is De- cember 1, 1992. Scholars who would like to offer a paper to one of the weekly Seminars are asked to send a brief description of their pro- posal and a current curriculum vitae to the Director.

daughters in literature-particularly in Clarissa Harlowe, Dombey and Son, Little Women, The Golden Bowl, and The Story of 0-has important implications for the

GENDER, THEORY, AND THE CANON James A.

I Came a Stranger The Story of a Hull- j House Girl Hilda Satt Polacheck Edited by Dena J. Polacheck Epstein With an introduction by Lynn Y. Weiner "In rough-edged but simple and direct prose, [Polacheck] vividly describes the working-class Chicago of her time and the events that swirled around it, such as women's suffrage and the Haymarket Riot, and especially the vigorous activities at Hull-House.... Scholars will find much to mine from her vivid descriptions of urban life and socialist politics at a time of vast change." - Hemy Kisor, Chicago Sun-Tunes. Illus. Paper, $12.95.

Points of Resistance Women, Power, and Politics In the New York Avant- Garde Cinema, 1943-71 Lauren Rabinovitz "Recent feminist film theory has often called for a new kind of nonpatriarchal, resistant filmmaking practice.
