How Can I Thank Scott Tunison, Keith D. Walker, And Janet Mola Okoko For Presenting Over 70 Qualitative Research Concepts? A Book Review Of Varieties Of Qualitative Research Methods: Selected Contextual Perspectives, Niroj Dahal

The Qualitative Report

More than 70 qualitative research concepts that have been used by academics and researchers in the social sciences and humanities are presented in the book Varieties of Qualitative Research Methods: Selected Contextual Perspectives. The concepts of qualitative research are collected in this book by academics and research practitioners from around the world. Whilst critically assessing the book, the field of qualitative research has grown more diverse and inclusive of a variety of ways of knowing and inquiring. Indigenous, context-specific, and more creative epistemologies are becoming more prevalent in qualitative research scholarship and practice as the world becomes smaller …

Human Relationship With Nature, Indigenous Ways Of Living And Regenerative Tourism Framework, Asif Hussain

Journal of Sustainability and Resilience

In the post Covid-19 era, human civilisation appears to undergo a significant shift in social-ecological consciousness and an emerging concept of ‘regenerative tourism’ is getting popular. The concept acknowledges the strong linkages between humans and nature and together special conditions are created for life to renew and restore itself. While indigenous people have always been aware of their actions and their impacts on the socio- ecological environments, the scientific community has started to acknowledge indigenous knowledge and ways of living. and integrated intelligence. The key aspect of the indigenous lifestyle is the linkages with physical and social environments where humans …

Amid the Covid-19 outbreak, the hospitality and tourism sectors were challenged and the business policies were adapted. This paper analyzes the measures implemented to secure safety and some tourism expectations as part …

Gauging The Role Of Personality In Risk Perception During A Health Crisis And Its Impact On Tourist Consumption Behaviour, Akshita Agarwal

Journal of Sustainability and Resilience

This study examines the influence of the tourist personality and the use of technology on the traveler behavior and the risk perception about travelling. The purpose of this study is to investigate the link between personality, risk perception, and travel behavior among French travelers. An online survey was conducted using a sample of 422 responses to examine individual variations in risk perception during a health crisis and their influence on travel behavior. The study was carried out using PLS-SEM, and a model was proposed that considered the substantial Average Variance Extracted (AVE) and Composite Reliability test findings. The findings demonstrated …


Bridging Knowledge Systems In The Peruvian Andes: Plurality, Co-Creation, And Transformative Socio-Ecological Solutions To Climate Change, Domenique Ciavattone 2023 SIT Graduate Institute/SIT Study Abroad

Bridging Knowledge Systems In The Peruvian Andes: Plurality, Co-Creation, And Transformative Socio-Ecological Solutions To Climate Change, Domenique Ciavattone

Capstone Collection

In the current era of anthropogenic climate change, Quechua farmers in the Peruvian Andes are some of the most impacted by, yet some of the lowest contributors to global warming. Dominant Western systems alone have proven insufficient in tackling the climate crisis, and there have been increasing efforts to elevate and center Indigenous voices and epistemologies when addressing climate change. Researchers and communities are calling for a bridging of knowledge systems, in which Indigenous and Western methods collaborate to co-create innovative solutions to climate challenges. This research sought to explore methods and successes in bridging Indigenous and Western knowledge systems …


The Nawat Language Revitalization In El Salvador And How Its Digital Activism Transcends Borders, Sergio J. Mendoza Gallardo 2023 CUNY Graduate Center

The Nawat Language Revitalization In El Salvador And How Its Digital Activism Transcends Borders, Sergio J. Mendoza Gallardo

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

In this research project I seek to show how digital activism for Nawat revitalization can transcend beyond the Salvadoran borders. The goal is to show how the revitalization of Nawat can have a better chance to be successful thanks to technology. Nawat is the last indigenous language in El Salvador, and its position within Salvadoran society has been uncertain for many years. Thus, I aim to show how technological efforts can help revitalize Nawat language with the efforts that are already being done. Although El Salvador has had a dark ethnic history regarding indigenous people, there are actions being taken …

Journal of the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet

This review provides an overview of treatments for problem alcohol and other drug (AOD) use for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It includes information on the available research and discusses core principles for providing treatment. The review outlines how effective mainstream treatment approaches can be adapted to be more suitable for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of being or worldview. It also highlights that services, such as those offered by Aboriginal community controlled health organisations are in a unique position to offer culturally secure treatment approaches. The barriers to accessing treatment are discussed as well as recommendations for …


Malintzin: La Mujer Americana, Alma D. Elías Nájera 2023 Vassar College

Malintzin: La Mujer Americana, Alma D. Elías Nájera

Crossings: Swarthmore Undergraduate Feminist Research Journal

Malintzin was a controversial Indigenous woman whose contributions to the Aztec conquest raised questions about what it meant to be a traitor with a limited agency. This essay recontextualizes Malintzin’s demonized identity and challenges masculinist sociocultural curations of gender, history, and knowledge production by infusing feminist theory into the cultural imaginaries of gender and racial stratification. By reintroducing Malintzin as a feminist emblematic figure trying to regain selfhood within an exploitative White cisheteropatriarchal society, her existence gives voice to those silenced by the violence of colonization, Manhood, and gender oppression. To do this, the author takes up the work of …


Theorising From The Land: House Or Tipi Of Ir?, Justin de Leon 2023 Chapman University

Theorising From The Land: House Or Tipi Of Ir?, Justin De Leon

Ethnic Studies Faculty Articles and Research

In 2004, Anna Agathangelou and L.H.M. Ling wrote their important intervention, entitled ‘The House of IR: From Family Power Politics to the Poises of Worldism,’ that ordered various theories of International Relations within an analogy of a colonial household, calling instead for a Worldism that builds communities based on interests and support. One glaring omission from this analysis, however, is mention of indigeneity. Increasingly, in North America, the experiences of Indigenous peoples are shaping national imaginations and popular political discourses – take for instance Idle No More, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Standing Rock, and Mauna Kea, to …

La Plástica Mesoamericana, Montserrat Camacho Ángeles

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Resumen: En los albores de nuestra cultura, aproximadamente hacia el 2500 a.C. surgió una civilización con grandes rostros, conformada por pueblos étnica y lingüísticamente diferentes pero unidos por una sola visión del mundo. Estos pueblos se desarrollaron en la región comprendida hoy por parte de México y América Central, caracterizados por algunos elementos culturales comunes, como el uso del calendario, el cultivo del maíz, los sacrificios humanos y un estilo artístico con rasgos únicos. Paul Kirchhoff denomina en 1943 a esta región como Mesoamérica y las culturas que en ella surgen estuvieron cimentadas fundamentalmente sobre tres bases: el sedentarismo, …

Moctezuma Entre Bambalinas, Isabel Bargalló, Montserrat Bargalló

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Resumen: De los muchos personajes históricos y míticos que ha aportado América a la cultura, uno de los más conocidos y – al mismo tiempo – desconocidos es Moctezuma Xocoyotzin, el tlatoani reinante en México-Tenochtitlan a la llegada de Cortés, y es, sin duda alguna, un héroe tan digno de la lírica como Ulises, Eneas o Julio César. Por este motivo, durante el siglo xviii se compusieron un número muy importante de óperas dedicadas al soberano mexica, para un público algo cansado de los libretos relacionados con la mitología grecorromana y los dramas medievales. En este artículo presentamos una de …

Ychsma Brocades From The Vicinity Of Lima In The Time Of The Incas, Mary Frame

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Ychsma is one of the lesser-known textile styles of the central coast of Peru that date to the late periods. In this article, fragments of brocaded mantles from an Ychsma grave context, which is dated to the Late Horizon (1476-1532 A.D.) by the presence of an Inca plate, are described and illustrated. The mantles, which are characterized by certain technical features, images, colors and patterns of repetition, are used to identify further examples in museum collections. The expanded sample provides a detailed picture of one of the most spectacular types of textiles that belong to the Ychsma style, as well …

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Este ensayo analiza el papel protagónico de una diosa representada en una estatua de tipo monumental procedente de la Gran Ofrenda del Montículo 2 del sitio de El Zapotal. La argumentación se funda en los datos arqueológicos, con las interpretaciones de los arqueólogos, en los aspectos señaléticos de la pieza, el tocado «en domo», la diadema con la figura parcial tridimensional –cabeza y busto– del mono araña, el artificio dorsal de cinco ramales, el ceñidor ofidio y la postura sedente, y en fuentes que reportan sobre el mono araña en las culturas prehispánicas, particularmente los referentes a las deidades madres …


The Other In Southeast Asian Puppetry, Kathy Foley 2023 University of Connecticut

The Other In Southeast Asian Puppetry, Kathy Foley

Representing Alterity through Puppetry and Performing Objects

Southeast Asian wayang/nang talung puppetry presents the local hero as refined. Three types of “others” repeat: 1) comic foreigners, 2) Raja Sabrangan (“Overseas King”) and followers, and 3) physically deformed clown servants. The last two groups are important and may relate to Austronesian concepts of spirit siblings accompanying each person through life.

Texohtli, El Azul Maya En La Cultura Náhuatl Prehispánica: Su Identificación Y Simbolismo A Partir De La Historia Universal De Sahagún, Élodie Dupey García

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Este capítulo estudia el pigmento conocido como azul maya a partir de las fuentes históricas sobre la cultura náhuatl prehispánica, específicamente la Historia universal de las cosas de Nueva España de Bernardino de Sahagún. La obra sahaguntina posibilita la identificación del nombre del azul maya en náhuatl, al mismo tiempo que contribuye a reconstruir su simbolismo en Mesoamérica, en particular, entre los nahuas. Asimismo, el capítulo explica por qué los datos contenidos en la Historia de Sahagún sugieren que el pigmento no era producido en el Valle de México, sino que llegaba ya manufacturado a manos de los artistas nahuas. …

Las Lechuzas En La Iconografía Mochica Medio De San José De Moro: El Sacerdote Lechuza, Karim Ruiz Rosell 2023 Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola, Perú

Las Lechuzas En La Iconografía Mochica Medio De San José De Moro: El Sacerdote Lechuza, Karim Ruiz Rosell

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Cuando en 2005 se encontró la Tumba del Sacerdote Lechuza en San José de Moro (SJM), no era la primera vez que se hallaban representaciones de lechuzas entre los objetos arqueológicos recuperados en el sitio y, ni muchos menos, la primera vez que las encontrábamos en el arte mochica o el arte de la región andina en general. No obstante, significaba la primera vez que un personaje en dicho sitio aparecía con gran parte de su ajuar ligado a la figura de una de estas aves, confirmando la existencia, no solo de esas aves en el ecosistema mochica, sino también …

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Este estudio trata sobre las influencias artísticas, prehispánica y colonial, que han tenido y tienen los bordadores en la creación de los diseños bordados que adornan el vestido tradicional indígena contemporáneo de los pueblos de San Pablo, de Tinta y de Marangani de la provincia de Canchis (Cuzco, Perú). El bordado con máquina (maquinasqa) apareció, posiblemente, en la primera mitad del siglo xx. Creación que es atribuida al costurero indígena sampablino Julián Choquevilca que revolucionó el vestido y el vestir femenino de estos pueblos, cambiando la historia del vestido en esta provincia. Choquevilca junto a los bordadores contemporáneos, hicieron de …
