Composition gold

2 Volumes
"This issue of Martha's Quarterly, Issue 20, Summer 2021, Composition Gold, brings together an essay by classicist Tae-Yeoun Keum and photographs by artist Rodrigo Valenzuela to explore questions of nobility and class, labor and imagination, and fate and agency. I was inspired when I listened to someone talk about the noble lie, a kind of myth often told by the elite or ruling class of a society that is meant to maintain social harmony. In monarchies and caste system societies, the noble lie is essential to keeping people spread across different classes, in their place and seldom questioning their situation. Today, many democratic societies also use a noble lie that many accept: "meritocracy," i.e. the idea that one is rewarded and can move between classes as a result of one's hard work and talent." -- publisher's website, viewed August 11, 2022.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
