Perry Kulper, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan, has a long, distinguished history and expertise in training student architects to think outside the confines of the standard architectural protocols of both space making and representation. Here he outlines the approach to tutelage that he uses to encourage his students to explore new techniques and tactics for creating work – one that is calm and nurturing, yet ambitious.

This paper explores the stylistic construction of the past in feature writing using as a case study the American Pulitzer Prize for journalism. Drawing on stylistic rhetorical criticism, it will show how references to the past are framed within fixed syntactical and word arrangement schemes that produce meaning and sustain arguments through expressive and aesthetic effects. The stylistic devices identified include comparative parallelism, series, emphatic repetition and syntactic symbolism. This paper contends that references to the past in feature writing should be seen as literary artefacts constructed by following the rules of rhetorical stylistics. The understanding of the uses of history that we can obtain from reading references to the past in journalism cannot be separated from formal and structural aspects pertaining to sentence patterns. Embedding rhetorical schemes in the text pushes the force of language beyond its representational role by bringing forward its expressive and evocative characteristics and the role that these play in making the story unique and memorable. The use of history in journalism goes beyond representing a given historical fact; the form through which the fact is presented matters because it makes each historical record discursively unique, thus contributing to the news value of the story.

Abstract News photos of refugees and migrants tend to be highly evaluative since they capture the moments of human suffering, vulnerability and helplessness. Informed by the works of Martin and White (2005) and Economou (2009, 2008) on Appraisal Theory and evaluative stance, the current paper identifies the visual evaluative resources in Reuters ' Pulitzer-winning photos of refugees and migrants' crisis in Europe for the year 2016. When considering photos evaluative stance, this paper argues, news photos should not be merely viewed as witness or proof of the events, rather they should be acknowledged for their aesthetic properties and compositional perspectives. This marks the importance of introducing delicate refinements to Martin and White's (2005) APPRECIATION model by adding, replacing and removing subcategories to account for the range of visual resources deployed in the photos under discussion. Photos' visual cues and semiotics codes are added to the APPRECIATION model. Doing so, a distinction between the evaluative stances infused by photos aesthetical properties and those arising from photos'content and the depicted participants is established. Two authorial voices are then proposed: the Witness voice and the Artist voice. The delicate modifications introduced to the APPRECIATION model helps to dig deep into the embedded evaluative stance of the photos. Applying the suggested APPRECIATION resources, it is found that Pulitzer-winning photos aestheticize the suffering of the refugees and render it beautiful and photogenic. However, the evoked positive APPRECIATION resources instantiate negative JUDGEMENT values of social exclusion, impersonalization, and Otherness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
