Literature Values Dissonance TV Tropes. Sherlock Holmes. The Hound of the Baskervilles has an example which also qualifies as Science Marches On a secondary character is an expert on phrenology and various racial sciences of the day, traits which would certainly be villainous in any modern work. Watson clearly finds the phrenology absurd but is tactful enough not to say it aloud, especially how the character gushes over the shape of Holmess head and wishes for it to be displayed should the Great Detective depart from his mortal coil. Similarly, the novels treatment of Selden the serial killer a term which didnt exist in Doyles day as a walking personification of pure evil seems a bit reductive by modern standards. Nowadays Seldon would probably be diagnosed as psychotic and declared insane, and many later adaptations of the novel particularly the GranadaJeremy Brett version are more sympathetic towards him. It was explicitly stated that Selden was spared the death penalty due to his sanity being in question, so its not that bad. When Doyle depicted Mormons as a Religion of Evil, that wasnt considered controversial, whereas his similarly unsympathetic depiction of the Ku Klux Klan was. Nowadays, this is essentially reversed. He supposedly later issued an apology to the Mormons after being taken to task by them. In The Yellow Face a reference to a mask, when the mother of a mixed race daughter showed Holmes and Watson a locket with a picture of herself and her black husband, Watson commented that the man was strikingly handsome and intelligent looking, but bearing unmistakable signs upon his features of his African descent. Authors of the time would often describe sympathetic non white characters as being very attractive except for their non white features. There are also different degrees of values dissonance between the UK and US. In the UK the husband took two minutes of thought before he accepted the daughter and took her and his wife home. In the US edition he needed ten minutes of thought. The Three Gables opens with a black man in an ugly salmon colored suit coming in to threaten Holmes. Both Holmes himself and Watsons narration insult him repeatedly, in a manner that would certainly be considered racist today Holmes repeatedly refers to Steve Dixies smell and even comments about his woolly head. And it has a Jewish villainess. Way to go, Sir Arthur The villainess of this short story even delivers this line about a good young Englishman who traveled to Italy.

It was as if the air of Italy had got into his blood and brought with it the old cruel Italian spirit. A non racial Holmes example is the Great Detectives drug use, which began being dissonant when cocaine started being banned, but is particularly noticeable when the stories are billed as young adult literature. In Victorian times, a gentleman could freely walk to any drugstore and buy as much cocaine and morphine and after 1. This is a description of the Andaman Islanders from The Sign of Four. They are naturally hideous, having large, misshapen heads, small fierce eyes, and distorted features. Their feet and hands, however, are remarkably small. Franklin Roosevelt knew of the Pearl Harbor at least attack 6 weeks before it happened. I had first hand telephone conversations with retired Navy officer Duane.

So intractable and fierce are they, that all the efforts of the British officials have failed to win them over in any degree. They have always been a terror to shipwrecked crews, braining the survivors with their stone headed clubs or shooting them with their poisoned arrows. These massacres are invariably concluded by a cannibal feast. Nice, amiable people, Watson If this fellow had been left to his own unaided devices, this affair might have taken an even more ghastly turn. I fancy that, even as it is, Jonathan Small would give a good deal not to have employed him. Not exactly hideous cannibalistic savages in real life, as it turns out. Naturally for Victorian literature, many acts of murder, extortion and conspiracy in Holmess casebook were committed to cover up scandalous intimate liaisons which, if exposed publicly today, would be greeted with a resounding So What from everyone except the paparazzi or a divorce attorney. In a story from The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes, a man confesses to concealing his sisters death so he can retain use of her properties long enough to clean up at the track. These days, his hiring someone to impersonate her smacks of identity theft, and would be prosecuted as fraud. Holmes lets him walk, apparently not considering it objectionable once hes confirmed the sister was not murdered. The fact that both he and the suspect refer to his creditors as the Jews doesnt help. Quite a few culprits are allowed to go unprosecuted on the condition that they leave Britain, or are treated as if the crimes theyve committed outside of Europe are none of Holmess affair. Crimes outside the U. K. may not be Lestrades jurisdiction, but Holmes takes pride in not having the same constraints as the police, so it seems hypocritical when his commitment to justice ends at the British coastline. In more of an in universe example, Holmes will sometimes let a criminal go free even on British soil, usually if he empathized with the criminals motivation. When Watson expresses surprise, Holmes responds that hes interested in justice and the truth, not necessarily with upholding the law. Sherlock Holmes also shows some classism which he uses to deduct peoples job and standing, and of course he is always right. From The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist. I nearly fell into the error of supposing that you were typewriting. Of course, it is obvious that it is music. You observe the spatulate finger ends, Watson, which is common in both professions There is a spirituality about the face, however she gently turned it towards the lightwhich the typewriter does not generate.

The Japanese fabric Yuki tsumugi is used to make fine quality kimonos and has a 2,0. Japan. Making the cloth requires more than 4. These skills have been passed down through the years, and in 2. Yuki tsumugi production technique was inscribed on Unescos Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. OKUJUNs fabrics have a beautiful luster, exceptional lightness, and rich texture. Supreme Yuki Silk is a fabric of highest quality produced by a method descended from the traditional technique and Yuki Silk is a new fabric that preserves the fine texture but made with a more efficient production process. The secret of the incomparably soft texture of the silk resides in its raw material floss silk, and the untwisted yarn spun tenderly by hand from floss silk while typical silk yarn is produced by tightly twisting together several filaments from separate cocoons. Yuki Tsumugi, silk fabric production technique is very complex. The high quality fabric is a result of the artisans highly skilled hand craftsmanship. The fabric is woven from delicate hand spun yarn, and is a layered masterpiece of skilled hand craftsmanship from artisans who execute all the needed procedures. It is supported by a sophisticated combination of professional instinct and dexterous artistry, nurtured through long specialized practice. A single piece of cloth is born from the hands of many master artisans. Floss silk is obtained from a cocoon and, with the use of a tool, gently stretched by hand into yarn, without spinning. During the process, sizing is applied to strengthen the delicate yarn. By using a traditional back tension loom called a jibata, the hand spun yarn is woven into cloth while applying minimal tension to the yarn. The warp is tied to the weavers hip and inseparable from the loom, the weaver controls the tension of the warp through the movement of the hip while weaving. A Hia shuttle used to store weft yarn made from an oak tree, and an osa reed are used to tighten the weave, to create a fine woven silk fabric. Finally, after the process of sun drying, a cloth that is light, warm and extremely soft is born. I am My Mothers Only One 2. Julia Wright. Dorothy Waxman and Edelkoort Inc.

I am my mothers only child, only daughter, only friend. The structure of Wrights family has shifted significantly since her parents recent divorce, and as such, each member of what was a three person unit has learned to live on their own. This piece was created through Wrights reflection on childhood and her relationship with her mother, serving as a sort of necessary step for the designer to accept this new situation. Wright says her memory is driven by colour and shape, and through using the jacquard loom she was able to translate a personal photographic collage into a thick woven fabric, tangible and soft. Each cut square serves as a physical and material reminder of sweet childhood memories the organization of which is unfixed and ever changing. This work was created by collage and painting, and translated through Point Carre software to become woven pieces created on a Staubli jacquard loom. It is a 7 wefted weave, and has been cut apart and reconfigured. Many pieces were painted after weaving with bleach or dye. Christian Frank Mller GermanyKunstuniversitat Linz, Austria. Tex. Lab, 2. 01. 5As a multi skilled designer and Ph. D student with a specialisation in textile design, Mller realises a wide range of different projects along the themes of diversity, details and simplicity with a twist. He perceives that design has a crucial influence on our lives. Good design improves our everyday lives and should be sustainable in terms of long lasting, timelessness, the use of the right materials and flexibility in use. And of course it should look good in every situation. Design is not pure decoration, it is the right ingredients mixed together in order to create a new, unexpected experience. Mller says of his work I like simple things. Some people would say boring, but boring is in my opinion not bad. Its just the absence of excitement in a world that is full of exciting things and where every new object is just trying to raise the level of excitement. In this experimental collection, fabrics are made with different unconventional dyeing, weaving and knitting techniques. Injection dyeing is used on folded, woven fabrics before they unfold to reveal a placed pattern of bleeding spots. Dye is also injected into bobbins and knitting spools before moir and marle fabrics are machine woven or knit. DOWNLOAD PRESS IMAGESphoto Marcella Echavarria.
