 Dora Tse-pe
Dora says Rose claimed she taught Santa Clara potters to carve and started women carving at San Ildefonso and that she is responsible for the great tradition of carving polished red or fl pots.
Dora's innovation in claywork - she sees her work as an extension of traditional pottery making - to combine various colored clays in the same piece, for instance, polished red clay combined with dull-surfaced, gold-flecked micaceous clay, or red polished clay combined with dull fl and micaceous clays, or other combinations she works out.
Dora complains that her galleries and collectors call her work "contemporary Indian." Dora dislikes the term because she considers herself traditional; she claims to be unaware of the path she is forging.

 Surfline | Miki Dora (1936-2002 )   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Dora was a worthy student and an excellent test pilot for the surfboard Chapin bought him.
Eventually Dora's disgust with contemporary California forced a decisive career move and lifestyle shift, and he escaped into a self-imposed (and strategic) exile, abandoning his fabled haunts to the Valley usurpers and Hollywood geeks.
Like many of the aging stars, Dora has benefited from the nostalgia of the so-called longboard renaissance, and a new edition of his famous Greg Noll Da Cat surfboard (which sold thousands as the first limited-edition signature model in the mid-'60s) has been a great success.

 Freud, "Dora"
This, then, explains Dora’s hysterical symptom, her coughing: the woman’s throat is the area of sexual gratification for her father and is also the place where her symptoms occur.
Extinguishing the fire: Freud associates this with Dora's bed-wetting as a child; for him, this is a reference to masturbation on her part and her attempts to repress it.
The Dora analysis is like a rape case in which the male perpetrator is declared innocent because he was "led on" by the woman to expect consensual sex.

 D2: Teaching notes on Freud's "Dora"
Actually, though he insisted that transferences were taking place between Dora's attitudes to Herr K. and himself, and he tried to win from her acknowledgment of her sexual responsiveness to Herr K., he was singularly unable to press this parallel as far as he himself was concerned (p.
Dora, further along in her maturation, was an anxious adolescent, identified with the mother (through the common possession of a jewel case) and calling for rescue by the "good father" who was, in one aspect of the treatment, the analyst himself (p.
Kanzer discusses Freud's inconsistently transferential treatment of Dora's subsequent addendum to the dream (that on awakening she had smelled smoke) in light of Freud's insistence on this element as indicating a [warded-off] desire to kiss him [and hence a resolution to break off treatment rather than succumb to this wish] (p.

Although she was well known as a friend, model and "muse" of Picasso, it is often forgotten that Dora Maar herself was a successful artist.
Dora Maar and her personality as a woman, both in publications about Picasso and in the few that are dedicated to her, assume an unusually great significance in art-history literature.
It was precisely the simplicity of the photos that enabled Dora Maar to give the day-to-day and the ugly a magnificent monstrosity in which the beautiful and the horrible blend into one another.

 V2ROCKET.COM - Mittelwerk / DORA
Dora was the name given to the Buchenwald subcamp that was set up within the tunnels for the laborers.
Later, fbeginning in the spring of 1944, Dora was transformed into a more traditional camp, with 58 barracks buildings surrounded by barbed wire being set up about a quarter mile west of the south entrance to Tunnel B. Camp construction was not completed until October, 1944.
Since the Dora camp could not hold all the prisoner labor needed for all these new projects, SS General Kammler decided, in March of 1944, to create two new concentration camps—Harzungen, on the east side of the project area—and Ellrich, next to the train station in that small village west of the Mittelbau.

 Dora The Explorer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Dora needs to be in foster care "pronto", and Boots needs the confines of a nice, safe zoo (or perhaps, frankly, a chemical lab).
DORA jumped the shark when Dora learned 'magic.' In the early days, Dora was a refreshing show that showed Dora exploring the world around her and learning about realistic things.
Of course, Dora and Boots DO put on life jackets before they get into the boat, but the on-screen guide for DORA that Direct TV provides for the show says that the show is about a SEVEN year old Latina girl who explores her world.

 Freud's Dora   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Freud's Dora, the person who lost first her name and then her body to a text but who still faintly waves to us from within its gaps, has now, in the book under review, become Dora's Freud, the authoritative mirror of Freud's sickness, the effective resistance to her doctor's trauma-inducing attempt to cure her.
He is in fact the cause of repeated trauma to Dora through his insistence on what he thinks of as Dora's love for Herr K. His preferred solution, that Dora marry Herr K., is forced upon Dora repeatedly as the only possible solution to the family problem and therefore her duty.
It is a performative attempt to reveal and clarify Dora's emotions, her fancies, hopes, and fears, not a proposal meant to goad her into an action that Freud knew could not have provided a solution of any sort for those adults.
