Spanish And Mamluk Carpets: Comparisons Of Decoration And Structure, Carol Bier Jan 2004

Spanish And Mamluk Carpets: Comparisons Of Decoration And Structure, Carol Bier

Carol Bier

Two recent exhibitions, Carpets of Andalusia and Mamluk Rugs from Egypt, at The Textile Museum afforded a rare opportunity to compare two radically different rug-weaving traditions from the perspectives of design and weave structure. While not often evident to the casual viewer, there is a significant relationship between design, pattern, and weave structure in all Oriental carpets. The opportunity to explore such differences warrants careful examination and critical viewing.The Mamluk rugs all probably date from the last quarter of the 15th century. They comprise a cohesive group defined by color, a geometric style, and similarity of weave characteristics.


Going Back To The Old Mainstream: No Depression, Robbie Fulks, And Alt. Country's Muddied Waters, Barbara Ching Jan 2004

Going Back To The Old Mainstream: No Depression, Robbie Fulks, And Alt. Country's Muddied Waters, Barbara Ching

Barbara Ching

In 1972, when Doctor Hook and the Medicine Show sang "The Cover of the Rolling Stone," they cast rock critics as arbiters of stardom. By the time Cameron Crowe used th is song in his 2000 film Almost Famous, it held little irony. Sex and drugs were good but they just couldn't compare to joining the magazine's anointed. Currently, some alternative country aspirant could sing the same tune about No Depression. The magazine, now in its eighth year, invariably uses its cover to showcase an alt.country artist. It has sponsored alt.country package tours (in which the editors indulge the fan's …

College Students' Perceptions, Myths, And Stereotypes About African American Athleticism: A Qualitative Investigation, Keith Harrison

Black, Mulatto And Light Skin: Reinterpreting Race, Ethnicity And Class In Caribbean Diasporic Communities, Marc E. Prou Dec 2003

Black, Mulatto And Light Skin: Reinterpreting Race, Ethnicity And Class In Caribbean Diasporic Communities, Marc E. Prou

Marc E. Prou

In recent years, Caribbeanists of different academic specialization and intellectual orientation have demonstrated a renewed interest in the unholy trinity of race, class and ethnic matters. the renewed interest has reflected a continued, but rather an unsystematic attempt to account for the social characteristics of race, ethnicity, gender and class among Caribbean people, both at home and abroad. The current ethnic power relationships manisfested by the unequal distribution of wealth in Caribbean diasporic communities is the direct result of colonialist influence on race through exploitative practices of the plantocracy and selective immigration to create a Caribbean middle class.

Osmanlıda Mesleki Teknik Eğitim İstanbul Sanayi Mektebi (1869-1930), Yaşar Semiz, Recai Kuş

Yaşar Semiz

Sanayi mekteblerinin ilk nüveleri ve nizamnameleri Tanzimat döneminde ortaya çıkmış, II. Abdulhamit döneminde eğitim sisteminde I. Meşrutiyet’ten sonra ıslâhhaneler, 1885’te sanayi mektebi adını almış; ancak, 1894’e kadar bir boşluk yaşanmış ve öğrenci sayılarında ciddi sayılabilecek azalma olmuştur. 1894’ten sonra hem okul sayıları artmış hem de okullar müstakil binalarına kavuşturulmuştur. Islâhhaneler, gerçek sanayi mektebi hüviyetine kavuşturulmuş ve sanayi mekteblerinin sayıları artmıştır. 1913’te İdare-i Umumiye Vilayet Kanununun yayınlanması ile sanayi mekteblerinin masrafları vilayetler hususi idareleri bütçelerinden karşılanmaya başlayınca okullar önceki döneme nazaran daha istikrarlı bir konuma geldi, fakat bu kez de her vilayetin ayrı program tatbik etmesinden dolayı okullar arasında bir birlik …
