Online, Offline And Beyond: The Social Imaginary In A Scottish Diasporic Online Group, Charles A. Hays
Online, Offline And Beyond: The Social Imaginary In A Scottish Diasporic Online Group, Charles A. Hays
e-Keltoi: Journal of Interdisciplinary Celtic Studies
This project uses the method of depth hermeneutics to examine how a group of relatively technologically unsophisticated online discussion participants innovate in the formation of a social imaginary, as defined in Thompson's (1990) explication of the use of media to facilitate social interaction. By deploying a diverse range of technologies with which they are competent, the group avoids the uncertainties of new modalities of social networking such as those represented by Second Life, MySpace and Facebook, while pursuing their goal of discursively negotiating a Scottish cultural identity both online and offline.
Social Networks And Cultivated Plants: Exchange Of Planting Materials And Knowledge, Joana Cabral De Oliveira
Social Networks And Cultivated Plants: Exchange Of Planting Materials And Knowledge, Joana Cabral De Oliveira
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
Este artigo discute a dinâmica de trocas e importação de plantas cultivadas feitas pelos Wajãpi, grupo indígena que vive nas bacias dos rios Amaparí e Jarí na Amazônia brasileira. A história dos Wajãpi é permeada por intensas relações de trocas entre subgrupos Wajãpi, com outros grupos indígenas e, mais recentemente, com não-índios, sendo as espécies cultivadas um objeto de vivo interesse nessas relações. Parto de dados sobre os sistemas de classificação nativos das plantas cultivadas para reconstruir a dinâmica e os padrões de relações sociais internas a esse grupo, bem como suas alteridades. Procuro desvendar assim, uma intricad rede de …

Cannibals, Amazons, And Social Reproduction In Amazonia, Astrid Steverlynck
Cannibals, Amazons, And Social Reproduction In Amazonia, Astrid Steverlynck
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
This paper analyzes Amerindian representations of Amazon-like women and cannibalism in the context of ideas about the processes of creation. While cannibalism focuses on the socialization of death through male agency and control int he context of relationships with external others, the myths about Amaon-like women focus on the social control of sexuality and female creativity (pregnancy and birth) through the establishment of male-female cooperation. Both discourses rely on the intrinsic qualities of male and female creativity that constitute the elementary structure of Amerindian cosmology. they explore the two most fundamental moments in the chain of creative processes that constitute …

Interculturality And The Indigenization Of Modernity: A View From Amazonian Ecuador, Norman E. Whitten Jr
Interculturality And The Indigenization Of Modernity: A View From Amazonian Ecuador, Norman E. Whitten Jr
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
After introducing the history and topography of the "forest of Canelos," I turn to the central theme of this essay, "the indigenization of modernity." I next illustrate pervasive mythic cosmology to orient the reader to Canelos Quichua Amazonian perspectives on cultural topography. The relationships that obtain in language, history and ecology between the "lowlands" and the 'highlands" address the subject of ethnogenesis in indigenous thought and in written historical portrayal. Bulding toward an indigenous structure of conjuncture, I treat "epistemic distortion" in various academic sectors and attept to counter or deflect what I take to be such distortions. In so …

Soldados De Salamina (2001): Cercas En Busca De Un Héroe Con El Instinto De La Virtud, Marie Guiribitey
Soldados De Salamina (2001): Cercas En Busca De Un Héroe Con El Instinto De La Virtud, Marie Guiribitey
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
The work analyzes the role of literature in reconstructing historical memory and in serving to attest against the collective amnesia which takes place during the transition to democracy in Spain. The recreating of a historic episode during the Civil War allows the narrator of Soldados de Salamina to remake the past and call for the recovery of historical memory. Also examined is Maurice Halbwachs’ premise-the need to maintain “an affective community” in order to arrive at a reconstruction of memories.

La Cultura En Disputa: Pintura Figurativa E Identidad Étnica Entre Los Ishir (Alto Paraguay), Ana Maria Spadafora, Luisina Morano
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
Desde mediados del Siglo XX, los ishir del Gran Chaco han sufrido transformaciones económicas, políticas e ideológicas que derivaron en una substitución de pautas y prácticas de comportamiento y pusieron en disputa el valor y el significado de la cultura en el nuevo contexto. Esta discusión se manifiesta—como en muchos otros casos etnográficos—en una marcada fractura generacional entre padres que vivieron la vida montaraz e hijos cuya crianza citadina los ubica en un umbral lejano a la experiencia del monte y en un contexto interétnico ajeno a los valores y motivaciones culturales de los ancianos. Sobre la base de nuestra …

Cultural Resources Survey At Old Velaso Townsite, 41bo125 Brazoria County, Texas, Andrea Stahman
Cultural Resources Survey At Old Velaso Townsite, 41bo125 Brazoria County, Texas, Andrea Stahman
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
At the request of Port Freeport and the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District, PBS&J has conducted a cultural resources survey of a portion of Old Velasco (41BO125), a historic townsite at the current location Brazoria County, Texas. Initially settled by Stephen F. Austin in the 1820s, Old Velasco became an important coastal port and military outpost during the 1830s and early years of the Republic of Texas, but declined during the mid-nineteenth century and was eventually abandoned by the late 1870s. The purpose of the survey was to identify potential impacts from the proposed widening of the …

The Henry Chapman Site (41sm56), Mark Walters
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
In the mid-1950s, Sam Whiteside conducted excavations at the Henry Chapman site, his site P-5 (41SM56), on Prairie Creek in eastern Smith County, Texas, some 18 miles east of Tyler, Texas. Mr. Whiteside was an amateur archaeologist who discovered and explored numerous sites up and down Prairie Creek as well as other important sites in Smith and adjoining counties. The Chapman site was one of the first sites to be investigated by Mr. Whiteside, and the major part of the work took place there in 1957 and 1958.
In August 1957, the site was visited by Edward B. Jelks and …
Caddo Ceramics From The D'Ortolan Site (41na299), Timothy K. Perttula
Caddo Ceramics From The D'Ortolan Site (41na299), Timothy K. Perttula
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
The D'Ortolan site (41NA299) is a late 1790s to 1830s ranch established by Bernard D'Ortolan on Bayou Loco, a tributary to the Angelina River, in Nacogdoches County, Texas. The ranch was known as Rancho San Bemando del Loco. Tom Middlebrook, Texas Archeological Steward, located and identified the rancho in 2003.
During the course of archaeological investigations conducted at the site over the next few years, a small sample of aboriginal Caddo ceramic sherds were found on the rancho in contexts indicating that Caddo ceramic vessels were in use during the rancho occupation. These vessels had to have been obtained by …

This article presents a detailed analysis of chipped stone artifacts from the Redwine Site (41SM193), a Middle Caddo mound and village site located on the headwaters of Auburn Creek, a tributary of the Sabine River. The collection includes chipped stone recovered from the surface, test excavations, and arrow points associated with two adult burials. The site was investigated by avocational archeologist Sam Whiteside in the 1960s and more recently by Mark Walters and Patti Haskins under the direction of John Keller of Southern Archaeological Consultants. The investigations and material culture have been briefly described. This study is designed to take …
A Probable Early 19th Century Coushatta Village Site On Big Cypress Bayou In Northeastern Texas, Timothy K. Perttula, Bryan E. Boyd
A Probable Early 19th Century Coushatta Village Site On Big Cypress Bayou In Northeastern Texas, Timothy K. Perttula, Bryan E. Boyd
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
In February 2002, avocational archaeologists from northeastern Texas and northwestern Louisiana conducted archaeological investigations in an area along Big Cypress Bayou in Marion County, Texas, to search for and identify a pre-1841 Coushatta Indian village depicted on a 1943 General Land Office map. That map showed a "Coushatti" village with at least seven to eight structures (a common way at the time to indicate an Indian village, but not necessarily an accurate characterization of the number of structures once present at the site) near the confluence of Black Cypress Bayou and Big Cypress Bayou. This article describes the results of …
Historic Caddo Archaeology On The Red And Lower Sulphur River Areas Of Northeast Texas, Timothy K. Perttula
Historic Caddo Archaeology On The Red And Lower Sulphur River Areas Of Northeast Texas, Timothy K. Perttula
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
Post-ca. A.D. 1685 Caddo archaeological sites are somewhat surprisingly uncommon on the Red and lower Sulphur rivers in Northeast Texas compared to other parts of this broad region. For instance, there are more Historic Caddo sites known in Nacogdoches County in the Neches and Angelina river basin in East Texas than there are in all of the Red and lower Sulphur river regions.
The low density of Historic Caddo archaeological sites on the Red and lower Sulphur river areas of Northeast Texas is a product of several factors, the most important likely being the rapid abandonment of much of the …
The Pine Tree Mound Site And The Entrada Of The Hernando De Soto Expedition Of 1542, Ross C. Fields
The Pine Tree Mound Site And The Entrada Of The Hernando De Soto Expedition Of 1542, Ross C. Fields
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
The entrada into Texas of the Hernando de Solo expedition in July 1542, which was led by Luis de Moscoso after de Soto's death in June of that year, is relevant to the Pine Tree Mound site (4IHS15) because it appears that the site was occupied at that time, and the entrada likely followed a path that brought it very close to the site. In fact, we hypothesize that the Pine Tree Mound site, along with associated villages nearby, is specifically mentioned in entrada accounts as the province of Nondacao. These may have been the forebears of the Nadaco (Anadarko) …
