Desire To Change

Introduction: Patients with cardiovascular disease conditions are at high risk for direct and indirect impacts of COVID-19 on morbidity and mortality. In light of this, we aimed to assess the extent to which COVID-19-related anxiety in patients with a history of cardiac arrest (CA) correlates with the desire to change or discuss advanced directives. Methods: Between May 15-28, 2020, a month after the New York City (NYC) COVID-19 pandemic peak, CA survivors from a prospective cohort were invited to participate in a telephone-based assessment of the pandemic’s impact on psychological and other survivorship dimensions. COVID-19-related anxiety was measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-3 scale, which asks how often respondents felt (1) anxious, (2) unable to stop worrying, and (3) excessively worried over two weeks, and was keyed to the COVID-19 pandemic. Desire to discuss or to change financial and/or health-related advanced directives were reported on a yes-or-no basis. Results: 100 approached, 69 CA survivors participated (53% male; age 61±15 years; 44% White, 20% Black, and 31% Latinx). A majority, 58 of 69 (84%), had no COVID-19 symptoms and/or were not tested. Only 12 of the 69 respondents (17%) showed interest in discussing or changing advanced directives. There were no significant differences in the age, sex, race, or COVID-19 symptoms status between those who showed desire versus those who did not. Desire to change advance directives was significantly associated with increased COVID-19-related anxiety (OR 1.5, CI 95% [1.2-1.9] p<0.002). Conclusions: In CA survivors, a desire to change financial or healthcare-related advanced directives during the COVID-19 outbreak was associated with increased pandemic-related anxiety. The causality and directionality of this relationship require further, qualitative study.

This roundtable grew out of conversations between filmmaker Rea Tajiri, programmer Abby Sun, and scholar Vince Schleitwiler about a misunderstood chapter in the history of Asian American film and media: New York City in the eighties, a vibrant capital of Asian American filmmaking with a distinctively experimental edge. To tell this story, Rea Tajiri contacted her artist contemporaries Shu Lea Cheang and Roddy Bogawa as well as writer and critic Daryl Chin. Daryl had been a fixture in New York City art circles since the sixties, his presence central to Asian American film from the beginning. The scope of this discussion extends loosely from the mid-seventies through the late nineties, with Tajiri, Abby Sun, and Vince Schleitwiler initiating topics, compiling responses, and finalizing its form as a collage-style conversation.

The Conclusion briefly examines the current state of the New York City Ballet under the auspices of industrial billionaire David H. Koch at Lincoln Center. In so doing, it to introduces a series of questions, warranting still more exploration, about the rapid and profound evolution of the structure, funding, and role of the arts in America through the course of the twentieth century. It revisits the historiographical problem that drives Making Ballet American: the narrative that George Balanchine was the sole creative genius who finally created an “American” ballet. In contrast to that hagiography, the Conclusion reiterates the book’s major contribution: illuminating the historical construction of our received idea of American neoclassical ballet within a specific set of social, political, and cultural circumstances. The Conclusion stresses that the history of American neoclassicism must be seen as a complex narrative involving several authors and discourses and crossing national and disciplinary borders: a history in which Balanchine was not the driving force, but rather the outcome.

Adler and Sullivan's Auditorium Building in Chicago (1886-1890) is here analyzed in the context of Chicago's social history of the 1880s. Specifically, the building is seen as a capitalistic response to socialist and anarchist movements of the period. The Auditorium's principal patron, Ferdinand W. Peck, created a theater that was to give access to cultural and civic events for the city's workers, to draw them away from both politicized and nonpoliticized "low" urban entertainments. Adler and Sullivan's theater was to serve a mass audience, unlike opera houses of the period, which held multiple tiers of boxes for privileged patrons. This tradition was represented by the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City (1881-1883). Turning away from works like the Paris Opéra, Peck and his architects perhaps sought to emulate ideas of other European theaters of the period, such as Bayreuth's Festspielhaus (1872-1876). Sullivan's interior had an ornamental and iconographic program that was innovative relative to traditional opera houses. His design of the building's exterior was in a Romanesque style that recalled ancient Roman monuments. It is here compared with other Chicago buildings of its era that represented high capital's reaction to workers' culture, such as Burnham and Root's First Regiment Armory (1889-1891), Peck's own house (1887), and the Chicago Athenaeum (1890-1891). The Auditorium's story invites a view of the Chicago School that emphasizes the role of patrons' ideological agenda rather than modern structural expression.
