Trends And Shifts: Migration, Reverse Missions, And African Catholic Priests In Iowa City, Usa, Kefas Lamak
Trends And Shifts: Migration, Reverse Missions, And African Catholic Priests In Iowa City, Usa, Kefas Lamak
Journal of Global Catholicism
This study uses ethnographic research to examine the work and self-conception of African-trained priests in a city in the American state of Iowa. This phenomenon is part of a broader trend and shift as African-trained priests take up positions as pastors and missionaries throughout Europe and America. The article argues that the movement of African priests to the West in recent years should be understood as “reverse mission” because of its similarities to Western missionary activity in third world countries in earlier historical periods. This study mainly focuses on Iowa City, where the researcher interviewed five African priests serving in …

“I Tell Them Generics, But Not The Specifics”: Exploring Tensions Underlying Familial Support For First-Generation Latinx Undergraduate Students, Stephany Cuevas
“I Tell Them Generics, But Not The Specifics”: Exploring Tensions Underlying Familial Support For First-Generation Latinx Undergraduate Students, Stephany Cuevas
Education Faculty Articles and Research
Families continue to play an essential role in the experiences of first-generation Latinx undergraduate students and can serve as powerful partners to support student retention and socioemotional wellbeing. This qualitative phenomenological study uses the notion of emerging adulthood to explore how first-generation Latinx undergraduate students (n = 16) conceptualize their families’ role in their college education. Specifically, this study shows that while students describe feeling supported by their families, they also experience distinct and unique tensions tied to this support, which students associate with their first-generation student status. These tensions include (1) the family’s unfamiliarity with college culture; (2) bidirectional …
Native American And First-Nations Canadian And Physical Pfas Accumulations: A Literature Review, Laurel Liebeseller
Native American And First-Nations Canadian And Physical Pfas Accumulations: A Literature Review, Laurel Liebeseller
University Honors Theses
Native communities’ exposure to anthropogenic Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS: “Forever Chemicals”) are not demographically or geographically evenly distributed. Those who live near or on contaminated land or water are the most likely to accumulate dangerous amounts of PFAS that may have serious health consequences (Tribal PFAS Working Group 2021). Areas that tend to be most contaminated include landfills, airports, and military bases. Often Black, Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) and low-income communities are placed near these “sacrificial zones” due to historic and current policies that segregate and marginalize people and families to polluted lands creating great environmental injustices (Dixie). …

Loving 바리데기: A Traveler's Guide To Anthologizing The 여성 시인, Tiffany Hyunkyung Chang
Loving 바리데기: A Traveler's Guide To Anthologizing The 여성 시인, Tiffany Hyunkyung Chang
Comparative Literature Undergraduate Senior Theses
This thesis retells the folktale of the Korean shaman goddess 바리데기’s (Paridegi) as my journey through Korean literature. It follows Korean feminist poet Kim Hyesoon’s typology of the three deaths that 바리데기must experience to become a shamanic goddess and mediator with Death. I map these three deaths (the Death of Losing Your Name, the Death of Diaspora, and the Death of Immortal Crossings) onto the three stages of my development as a second-generation Korean American literary scholar, translator, and artist. Through connecting my personal journeys with the disciplinary concerns facing comparative literature, Asian American studies, Asian area studies, and Korean …

Los Tamales: Alimento Para Los Dioses, Los Espíritus De La Milpa, El Monte, Los Difuntos Y Las Personas Vivas, Laura Elena Sotelo Santos
Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
El consumo de tamales en los pueblos mayas contemporáneos es una constante y se han comido de manera cotidiana, festiva y ritual en todos los estratos de la población. La cultura tradicional (que por supuesto siempre está en constante transformación) ha reconocido que los tamales se han consumido espiritualmente por los antepasados y también por entidades sagradas como las deidades, espíritus de la milpa y de la montaña.
Forced Family Separation: U.S. Crimes Against Indigenous Peoples, Lauren Heidbrink, Giovanni Batz, David W. Barillas Chón
Forced Family Separation: U.S. Crimes Against Indigenous Peoples, Lauren Heidbrink, Giovanni Batz, David W. Barillas Chón
Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Forced family separation under the U.S. Zero Tolerance policy is not only a crime against humanity, but also a crime against Indigenous Peoples, which includes the Maya. Rooted in white supremacist ideologies and settler colonialism, contemporary forced family separation continues historical violence inflicted upon Maya Peoples by the U.S. government. Submitted to the International Criminal Court, this amicus brief contends that the Court should investigate and hold the U.S. accountable for crimes against Indigenous Peoples under the U.S. Zero Tolerance policy. The amicus brief begins with an overview of Maya Peoples in present-day Guatemala and the meanings and practices of …

Cocinar Para Dioses Y Hombres: Los Tamales De Los Lacandones Del Norte, Alice Balsanelli
Cocinar Para Dioses Y Hombres: Los Tamales De Los Lacandones Del Norte, Alice Balsanelli
Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Resumen: En los estudios referentes a la religión lacandona, las mujeres han quedado prácticamente invisibilizadas, puesto que las principales labores rituales se encontraban a cargo de los varones. Sin embargo, eran ellas quienes elaboraban las ofrendas sagradas para los dioses, en particular, los tamales ceremoniales. Los lacandones contemporáneos separan los tamales en dos categorías: aquellos que se ofrendan a las deidades y los que se destinan al consumo doméstico. El texto presente, fundamentado en información etnográfica, esclarece las diferencias en el proceso de elaboración de los alimentos divinos y humanos. Asimismo, se ilustran los cambios en las recetas, que fueron …
Aromas Y Sabores Para Los Dioses Mayas: Alimentos De Ixim Y Pom, Diana Peralta Cervantes
Aromas Y Sabores Para Los Dioses Mayas: Alimentos De Ixim Y Pom, Diana Peralta Cervantes
Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Resumen: El presente texto tiene como objetivo analizar el papel que el binomio ixim (maíz)- pom (incienso) desempeñó en la ritualidad de los mayas yucatecos del Posclásico (900-1542 d. C.) y aporta algunos datos relativos a los lacandones y cho’rti’s del siglo XX, ya que existe una afinidad en los usos y funciones que le han dado estos grupos a la pareja a lo largo de la historia. Como parte de lo que Alfredo López Austin denomina “núcleo duro de la tradición mesoamericana” (López, 2008: 20) se encuentran el ixim (maíz) y el pom (incienso), elementos que se documentan en …

El Zacahuil: Lo Que Encubre Y Lo Que Se Quiere Ver, Ana Bella Pérez Castro
Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Resumen: En este texto presento la importancia que cobra un gran tamal, conocido como zacahuil, bolin, tapataxtle, tlapepecholi o patlache en diversos rituales que se realizan en la Huasteca. Parto de mostrar al lector la ubicación de esta extensa región conocida como la Huasteca y la manera en que en ella encontramos la presencia de los teenek, grupo étnico de filiación maya, que ahí se asentaron interactuando con los nahuas y otomíes principalmente. La importancia que cobra también en Yucatán el mukbil pollo o pibil pollo me llevaría a suponer que fueron los teenek los que llevaron, en su equipaje …

Los Tamales De La Gente Del Pantano. Patrimonio Gastronómico De Los Yokot’Anob De Tabasco, México, Mauricio Hernández Sánchez
Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Resumen: Los tamales forman parte de la cotidianidad de los yokot’anob, un pueblo de filiación mayense que habita las planicies inundables de Tabasco, en el sureste mexicano. Constituyen las principales ofrendas de las festividades religiosas y de los rituales asociados a la muerte y a diversas entidades sagradas del monte, el agua y las cosechas. Además, están presentes en reuniones familiares, festivales escolares y, en general, en todo convivio que incluya alimentos. Sin embargo, poca de esta gastronomía local se conoce. El presente ensayo describe parte de la diversidad de tamales yokot’anob, entre los que se listan los de “presa”, …

Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Resumen: Desde finales del siglo XX, la continuidad de la gastronomía tradicional de Guatemala se ha visto afectada por cambios socioeconómicos a nivel doméstico y la introducción de productos procesados importados y nuevos valores en la cultura alimentaria. Como respuesta a dicha situación, se inició un movimiento para la conservación y revalorización de los ingredientes y recetas tradicionales, apoyado por una etnografía audiovisual realizada para la producción de programas televisivos, así como descubrimientos arqueológicos relacionados con la gastronomía prehispánica. Ante la reciente declaración del tamal como Patrimonio Intangible de la Nación, se resalta la importancia de esta comida dentro del …

Un Recorrido Iconoglífico Por Las Antiguas Representaciones Del Tamal En La Mesoamérica Maya De Tierras Bajas, Daniel Martínez González
Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Resumen: En el presente texto se ofrece un recorrido histórico milenario por las representaciones, tanto visuales o iconográficas, como epigráficas o escriturarias, de uno de los alimentos -al parecer- más antiguos, preciados y generalizados entre los pueblos mayas desde épocas tempranas. Como tal, la hoja de ruta de este recorrido en torno a las representaciones del tamal en el mundo maya -de sobre todo Tierras Bajas- inicia por las célebres pinturas murales del sitio de San Bartolo (ca. s. i a.e.c) y la subestructura I-4 de Chiik Nahb de Calakmul (ca. 650-700 e.c.); prosigue con algunos otros indicadores arqueológicos y …

Tamales In Yucatán: Reflections On 52 Years Of Piib Gastronomy, Allan F. Burns
Tamales In Yucatán: Reflections On 52 Years Of Piib Gastronomy, Allan F. Burns
Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Abstract: “The first time I made tamales in the Yucatan of Mexico was in a village close to Tixcacal Guardia, Quintana Roo in 1972, some 52 years ago as I write this essay. It was in the fall and extended families were celebrating the harvest of milpas with something called “jaanali kol” (the feast of the milpa). We dug a pit, about four by eight feet oblong, lined it with stones, and built a fire. We were all men around the fire, and women were nearby in a house making chicken stew and other foods.” So begins this personal reflection …
Building The Body, Jasmine Flowers
Building The Body, Jasmine Flowers
Masters Theses
Bodies and space co-produce each other and the process of co-production originates racializing and gendering work.
The concept, thesis, and subsequent design are informed by the historical context around the House for Josephine Baker by Adolf Loos. Presented here is the culmination of research which grounds itself in the relationship between Primitivism and Modernism, theory on the body and flesh, architectural graphic standards, spectacle, gaze, surveillance, hypervisibility, invisibility, implications of privacy versus publicity, expressions of Blackness and its place in femmehood (a neologism that expands “womanhood” to be trans-inclusive), all of which directly engage in co-production.
This co-production changes how …
America, Dreaming., Sarah Meftah
America, Dreaming., Sarah Meftah
Masters Theses
There is a version
of America
that exists
only in dreams,
a kind of folklore,
shrouded in images,
technicolor interiors,
wrapped in plastic,
ghosts of recent past
to haunt and guide;
a constant reminder.
Wishful thinking
a constructed imaginary,
one I can hold in my hand.
Popular culture and spectacle, America and the domestic ideal, capitalism and the collective unconscious of a national identity. As an artist, I am interested in the myriad images that manifest for a viewer when they think of the spectacle of American pop culture, its domestic archetypes, and the material worship it revolves around. My …
Frontier: Land, Architecture, And Abstraction, Jacob Boatman
Frontier: Land, Architecture, And Abstraction, Jacob Boatman
Masters Theses
The abstraction of land is a colonial process by which physical land is transformed into a conceptual or symbolic entity. This transformation occurs through various economic, architectural, and cultural practices that imbue land with abstract values, meanings, and functions beyond its physicality. This includes the division of land into parcels for economic transactions, the design and construction of built environments that shape human interactions with the land, and the cultural narratives and representations that ascribe significance to particular landscapes. Through abstraction, colonial powers devalue indigenous perspectives and relationships to the land, reducing them to mere obstacles in the path of …

The Four Seasons: Integrating The Big Four Sports, Joseph S. Brody
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
After World War II, even though many African Americans served their country, policies of segregation were rampant throughout the United States of America. The aim of this Capstone is two-fold. First, to shed light on the men who followed the path of Jackie Robinson and give them their due. The most appropriate way to convey my research of these four athletes was by putting them all in the same fictional setting and discussing their trials and tribulations that made them the men they were in their day. Second, I want to highlight the many things I found in my research …
