Unveiling The Gaze: Belly Dance As A Site Of Refuge, Re-Envisioning And Resistance, Angela Moe

Angela M. Moe

Central to studies of feminist theory and pop culture is the construct of the male gaze, which highlights and challenges imagery within various forums (e.g., film, media, art) that relegate women to a stereotypically aesthetic purpose. In other words, analyses of the male gaze question why it is that women are so often portrayed in overly sexualized ways, as if they are only objects to be considered and consumed by others (namely, heterosexual men). This construct was first developed by Laura Mulvey in her influential 1975 essay “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema”. What was unique about Mulvey’s analysis is that …

Taurodontism In Review: Methods Of Determination And Anthropological Utility., Scott Legge, Anna Hardin

Scott Legge

Taurodontism, the expansion of the pulp chamber of a tooth, has been a well-known feature of both fossil and modern humans since the early 20th century. In modern populations taurodontism is clinically important, as any increase in pulp chamber size affects the endodontic treatment options, but its archaeological importance among anatomically modern human groups remains unclear. It is often seen as a defining characteristic of the post-canine dentition in Neanderthals and is sometimes used as an indicator of phylogenetic affinity for European fossils. Since the 1960s a number of studies have examined the frequency of taurodontism in modern human populations; …

Cranial Trauma And Interpersonal Violence In Alaskan Natives, Scott Legge

Scott Legge

Cranial trauma is investigated in a skeletal collection from Nunivak Island, Alaska. Trauma was observed in ten individuals from a sample of 121 crania (8.3%). Of the ten, five were males and five were females representing frequencies of 9.8% and 7.1%, respectively. Types of trauma included both blunt force and sharp-edged weapon inflicted injuries. Six of the ten show signs of healing or are completely healed; the other four individuals sustained the trauma at or near the time of death. The occurrence of trauma in the Nunivak Island collection supports previous researchers’ findings of higher frequencies for island dwelling Native …

A Childe Bibliography: A Hand-List Of The Works Of Vere Gordon Childe, Terry Irving, Peter Gathercole

Terence H Irving, Dr (Terry)

A hand-list devoted to the published writings of Vere Gordon Childe (1892-1957). It includes political writings, letters to newspapers, and reviews, as well as his books, articles and contributions to books. It covers his Australian years as well his academic career in Britain. Because its aim is to create an historical record of both Childe's work and the continual contemporary interest in his ideas, the list is arranged year by year to highlight his productivity and the periods when attention to his work was greatest. There are four sections: (i) books and monographs; (ii) articles and chapters; (iii) reviews; and …

Imagining Possibilities For Healthy Appalachian Communities In An Emerging Postindustrial Landscape, Brian Hoey

Brian A. Hoey, Ph.D.

This paper explores how community might be re-imagined to promote incipient social and economic agendas born increasingly of broad-minded citizen initiatives within the Appalachian region aimed at what is generally understood as “development,” but of a form distinct from the prevailing models of a more industrial age. I would like to ask whether a city like Huntington, West Virginia can emerge as a progressive example of what we might term postindustrial, urban regeneration and perhaps what we might call community healing—specifically through grassroots movement now finding local governmental support in collective attempts to transform this place from one defined primarily …

The Fast and the Furious

Wednesday night I had received a tip from Eric Altman of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society. The report was coming from an area about 2 hours away from me and he couldn’t get to it and asked if I wanted to take it over. I said heck yeah and I called the witness with the number Eric provided.

The witness claimed he was out in the field walking his dogs when the dogs became frightened and bolted back to the house. He saw a large ape-faced beast pacing back and forth just behind the pines that …

Journalism In A Pr World, Michael I. Niman Ph.D.

Michael I Niman Ph.D.

Mike Niman discusses the future of journalism in a PR-dominated communication environment. In particular, he examines the migration of talent from journalism to the PR industry, the collapse of mainstream journalism and the role of an emergent alternative media as American journalism goes through metamorphosis from what it was to what it could become. Journalism is a social good that should equip people to understand and resist spin. Niman argues that mainstream American journalism, rather than rising to this challenge, has transparently succumbed to serving as an arm of the corporate PR industry, thus laying the groundwork for its own …
