- Description
- The Vectors Lab has experimented with digital scholarship through its online publication, Vectors, and through Scalar, a multimedia authoring platform. McPherson considers debates around the role of cultural theory within the digital humanities and addresses the claim that the goals of critical theory and of quantitative or computational analysis may be irreconcilable. She then asks what it might mean to design digital tools and applications that emerge from contextual concerns of cultural theory and, in particular, from a feminist concern for difference.

- Description
- Biography of American-born Winnaretta Singer (1865-1943), a millionaire at the age of eighteen, due to her inheriting a substantial part of the Singer Sewing Machine fortune. Her marriage in 1893 to Prince Edmond de Polignac, an amateur composer, brought her into contact with the elite strata of French society. After Edmond's death in 1901, she used her fortune to benefit the arts, science, and letters. Her most significant contribution was in the musical domain. She not only subsidized artists (Boulanger, Haskil, Rubinstein, Horowitz) and organizations (the Ballets Russes, l'Opéra de Paris, l'Orchestre Symphonique de Paris), but she made also a lifelong project of commissioning new musical works from composers to be performed in her Paris salon.
