This thesis is an applied cataloguing project wherein 180 Super 8mm films by multidisciplinary artist Arleen Schloss were catalogued at Anthology Film Archives from January-June 2016. Schloss is known mainly for her performance work within the Downtown New York art scene in the late 1970s/1980s, and for founding A's, a performance and art venue available for artists to show and experiment with their work. The objective of this thesis project was to catalogue Schloss's Super 8mm film collection at Anthology, while also conducting research on her artistic practice during the period she was most actively making films. There are two chapters; the first explores Schloss's background as an artist and gives context for the Downtown New York art scene and her place within it. The second chapter is a case study that details the cataloguing process of Schloss's Super 8mm films, and it also provides preservation recommendations for future use.

William Chittick, currently professor of religious studies at the State University of New York (Stony Brook), is an internationally renowned expert on Islamic thought. His contributions to the fields of Sufism and Islamic philosophy have helped paint a clearer picture of the intellectual and spiritual landscape of Islamic civilization from the seventh/thirteenth century onwards. Yet Chittick is not simply concerned with discussions in Islamic thought as artifacts of premodern intellectual history. His vast knowledge of the Islamic intellectual tradition serves as the platform from which he seeks to address a broad range of contemporary issues. In this short essay, I will outline Chittick’s writings on the self within the context of his treatment of cosmology. Rather than being outdated ways of looking at the universe and our relationship to it, Chittick argues that traditional Islamic cosmological teachings are just as pertinent to the question of the self today as they were yesterday.

Anthology Film Archives ("Anthology" hereafter) is an experimental film institution that was founded in 1970 by experimental filmmakers Jonas Mekas, Jerome Hill, Peter Kubelka, Stan Brakhage, James Broughton, Ken Kelman, and film critic P. Adams Sitney. Based in the Joseph Papp Theater in New York City, Anthology was funded primarily by Jerome Hill. According to its founders, Anthology was the first film museum dedicated to film art and, as stated in their manifesto, the institution aimed to define film study and exhibition with a film art canon (Essential Cinema) and a theater (Invisible Cinema). In addition, Anthology created the Film Study Center, a space for archiving, preserving, and examining films and film-related journals, ephemera, and paper documents.

The book concludes by turning to Lévi-Strauss’s short essay, “New York in 1941,” in which he recounts his surprise at finding a Native American taking notes with a pen at the New York Public Library while he was conducting research for The Elementary Structures of Kinship, published in 1949. Recalling that H.D.’s The Gift was written during this same period and similarly features a cross-cultural encounter between Native Americans and Europeans, the Coda suggests that Lévi-Strauss’s encounter constitutes an instance of failed exchange—a moment when he might have imagined that writing and not woman is the “supreme gift,” the fundamental medium of exchange. The work of Woolf, Rhys, Stein, and H.D. offers a critical counterpoint to Lévi-Strauss’s both in privileging writing’s mediating power and in self-consciously wrestling with the risk of failure that haunts every gift of writing and which, historically, has shadowed women’s writing in particular.

Resumen: William Chittick, actualmente profesor distinguido en la Universidad de Nueva York (Stony Brook), es un experto y reconocido especialista en Pensamiento islámico. Sus contribuciones al campo del Sufismo y la Filosofía islámica han contribuido a pintar un cuadro claro del paisaje espiritual e intelectual de la civilización islámica desde el siglo VII/XIII en adelante. Aunque, Chittick no está solo preocupado por las discusiones sobre pensamiento islámico como reliquias de la historiaintelectual premoderna. Su vasto conocimiento de la tradición intelectual moderna sirve como base desde la cual busca abordar una amplia variedad de asuntos contemporáneos. En este breve ensayo, destacaré los escritos de Chittick que versan sobre el sí dentro del contexto de su tratamiento de la cosmología. Más allá de emplear métodos obsoletos para mirar al universo y nuestra relación con él, Chittick sostiene que las enseñanzas cosmológicas tradicionales islámicas son justamente tan relevantes para la cuestión del sí hoy en día como lo fueron en el pasado.

Yet Chittick is not simply concerned with discussions in Islamic thought as artifacts of premodern intellectualhistory. His vast knowledge of the Islamic intellectual tradition serves as the platform from which he seeks to address a broad range of contemporary issues. In this short essay, I will outline Chittick’s writingson the self within the context of his treatment of cosmology. Rather than being outdated ways of looking at the universe and our relationship to it, Chittick argues that traditional Islamic cosmological teachings are just as pertinent to the question of the self today as they were yesterday.
