The Marriage Between Art And Politics: Propaganda, Rebecca J. Counen May 2022

The Marriage Between Art And Politics: Propaganda, Rebecca J. Counen

The Purdue Historian

During the first half of the twentieth century Europe, Asia, and the United States faced many political/social changes and challenges amid both ideological wars and revolutions. This research paper works to analyze films from this era in order to convey the somewhat unorthodox, yet nonetheless influential and compelling, relationship between the arts and politics and how creativity is oftentimes manipulated for power and influence.

An Empirical Exploration Of Southeast Asian American Residential Patterns In The San Francisco Bay Area (2000–2019), Minh Q. Nguyen May 2022

An Empirical Exploration Of Southeast Asian American Residential Patterns In The San Francisco Bay Area (2000–2019), Minh Q. Nguyen

Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement

This paper explores three methods of reporting residential patterns: (1) concentration profiles, (2) density maps, and (3) proximity profiles. I analyze U.S. Census data to map and evaluate the residential patterns for Southeast Asian Americans in the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. Drawing from the field of urban planning, I report two measures of segregation and concentration (a) dissimilarity indices and (b) spatial proximity indices, and I discuss their limitations. Since mapping and spatial statistics are essential to understanding the histories, development, and advancement of Southeast Asian American communities, it is important to promote their broad usage. …

An Examination Of Sexist Roots Of The Psychiatric Diagnosis Of Nymphomania In 19th Century America, Madeline W. Reese May 2022

An Examination Of Sexist Roots Of The Psychiatric Diagnosis Of Nymphomania In 19th Century America, Madeline W. Reese

The Purdue Historian

During the mid to late nineteenth century, psychiatrists increasingly focused on women’s sexual deviance. Nymphomania was a diagnosis that emerged from existing scientific and popular understandings of sex and gender differences, sexual appropriateness, and morality of domestic relationships. Medical journals and popular conceptions of female sexuality are indicators of how this diagnosis was prejudiced and used exclusively for women. The nymphomaniac diagnosis was rooted in the patriarchal desire to keep women oppressed.

The Meaning And Malleableness Of Liberty From 1897-1945, Quentin E. Smith May 2022

The Meaning And Malleableness Of Liberty From 1897-1945, Quentin E. Smith

The Purdue Historian

This paper covers how the substance and meaning of liberty changed during the ending years of the Gilded Age (1870-1900) through the beginning ages of the Civil Rights Movement (1954-1968). Economic liberty took shape in the cases Allegeyer v. Louisiana (1897) and Lochner v. New York (1905). Civil liberties would take several more years to come into the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction. The case Gitlow v. New York (1925) began the establishment of incorporation of the Bill of Rights to the states, otherwise known as our fundamental liberties (note: The Supreme Court used selective incorporation, however). In the case U.S. v. …

From The Stars To The Headlines: The Propaganda Of Yuri Gagarin, Peyton Edelbrock May 2022

From The Stars To The Headlines: The Propaganda Of Yuri Gagarin, Peyton Edelbrock

The Purdue Historian

There were no haphazard decisions made by the Soviet Union when it came to choosing the first man to be sent to space. Months of training, careful planning, and well-hidden secrets eventually led to the decision of Yuri Gagarin. This led to the mass production of propaganda to spread, from Yuri Gagarin touring around the world to music being written about him, all centered around his trip to space and Soviet excellency. This propaganda still stands today in Russia, and its God-like idolization of cosmonauts is forever present.

Wealth, Desire, And Consequences Of The Antebellum Slaveholder, Macaira L. Mullen May 2022

Wealth, Desire, And Consequences Of The Antebellum Slaveholder, Macaira L. Mullen

The Purdue Historian

In the United States’ Declaration of Independence it articulates, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Walter Johnson’s book Soul by Soul delves deep into the “Life Inside the Antebellum Slave Market.” The enslaved female’s life was lived as the purchased property of a white slaveholding male. This book raised some good thoughts to go along with it. Such as, looking into the slaveholder after purchase. If there were conflicted …

Organized Savagery: Legitimization Of British Occupation In The Post-Ottoman State, Jamie M. Emerson May 2022

Organized Savagery: Legitimization Of British Occupation In The Post-Ottoman State, Jamie M. Emerson

The Purdue Historian

The Great War of 1914-1918 saw the internment of hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, captured and maintained by the hand of their enemy. Allegations and accounts of ill-treatment under the enemy’s care abounded during and after the war. Leading up to the Peace Conference of 1919, negotiators chose to account for the suffering of these prisoners in their demands for indemnities and reparations. This paper assesses how the British Parliament and press used stories about the suffering of British and Indian prisoners of war in Ottoman internment camps as a means to delegitimize Ottoman rule and legitimize British …

The Use Of Multiple Imputation To Handle Missing Data In Secondary Datasets: Suggested Approaches When Missing Data Results From The Survey Structure, Soojung Jo May 2022

The Use Of Multiple Imputation To Handle Missing Data In Secondary Datasets: Suggested Approaches When Missing Data Results From The Survey Structure, Soojung Jo

School of Nursing Faculty Publications

Secondary datasets are used in healthcare research because of its cost advantages, its convenience, and the size of the datasets. However, missing data can cause problems that are difficult to resolve. This manuscript reviews possible causes for missing data, and how to address them. Many researchers use multiple imputation as a solution, which consists of three phases: (a) the imputation phase, (b) the analysis phase, and (c) the pooling phase. When missing data is caused by a refusal to answer or by insufficient knowledge, multiple imputation works well. However, difficulties arise when there are problems with screening questions. If respondents …

Ressusciter La Lutte Antifasciste: Art, Politique Et Mémoire Entre La Guerre Civile Et L'Espagne D’Aujourd’Hui, Paula Barreiro López May 2022

Ressusciter La Lutte Antifasciste: Art, Politique Et Mémoire Entre La Guerre Civile Et L'Espagne D’Aujourd’Hui, Paula Barreiro López

Artl@s Bulletin

Prenant pour point de départ l’œuvre Resurrección de Núria Güell (2013), cet article aborde le rôle que les artistes contemporains ont assumé, en Espagne, dans la contestation du passé fasciste. Il traite les politiques de terreur mises en œuvre pendant et après la guerre civile, ainsi que la résistance antifasciste pendant la dictature, menée par le maquis, mais aussi par des artistes associés à des organisations d’extrême gauche. Enfin, il réintègre l’œuvre de Güell dans un contexte de création militant de son époque où l’on cherchait à réactiver l’antifascisme face aux survivances structurelles du franquisme dans l’Espagne contemporaine.

Antifascism And Wildness. “Partisan Ecologies” Between The Spanish Civil War And The Global Warming Era, Jaime Vindel May 2022

Antifascism And Wildness. “Partisan Ecologies” Between The Spanish Civil War And The Global Warming Era, Jaime Vindel

Artl@s Bulletin

This short essay uses the concept of “partisan ecologies” in order to analyse certain past and present chapters on the relationship between anti-fascism and nature. According to the Swedish eco- Marxist Andreas Malm, wilderness has not only represented an essentialist idea resulting from the projections of conservationist environmentalism about a supposedly untouched nature, but has also been one of the real spaces of a modern antagonism. Taking this theoretical point of departure, the text describes the Alpine Battalion of the Sierra del Guadarrama during the Spanish Civil War and its resonances in some contemporary events.

Partisan Dilemmas Between Activism And Socially Engaged Art: Situations In Loisaida At The End Of The Seventies, Olga FernáNdez López May 2022

Partisan Dilemmas Between Activism And Socially Engaged Art: Situations In Loisaida At The End Of The Seventies, Olga FernáNdez López

Artl@s Bulletin

The end of 1970s is an interesting moment to understand the epistemic shift that involves the passage from partisan artistic activism to contemporary socially engaged art. Then, a significant convergence took place in the neighborhood of Loisaida (NYC), where artists and local residents coincided in their modes of action. However, its subsequent cultural interpretations have overlooked each other. Art history cosmopolitan approaches clashed with migration identities, traversed by victimhood, but also by transnational heritages. This article examines and reunites both traditions looking for a reparative art history.

An Antifascist Biennale: ‘Libertà Al Cile’ In And From Venice, Anita Orzes May 2022

An Antifascist Biennale: ‘Libertà Al Cile’ In And From Venice, Anita Orzes

Artl@s Bulletin

The article analyses the section Libertà al Cile [Liberty for Chile] of 1974 Venice Biennale. Even if this cultural proposal against Pinochet’s regime had a significant role and was the most visible face of La Biennale per una cultura democratica e antifascista [The Biennial for a democratic and anti- fascist culture], a detailed study of this exhibition is still missing. The aim of this article is to contextualize Libertà al Cile within the project of the New Biennale and its new exhibition formula, as well as within the ties of brotherhood that united Italy and Chile by paying attention to …

Giandante X: An Artist For Gramsci And The International Brigades (1920–1941), Jacopo Galimberti May 2022

Giandante X: An Artist For Gramsci And The International Brigades (1920–1941), Jacopo Galimberti

Artl@s Bulletin

Dante Pescò, also known as Giandante X, was a Milanese anarchist who participated as a militant, militiaman and artist in some of the major struggles of antifascism in the 1920s and 1930s, from the street clashes against the Blackshirts in Italy to the Spanish Civil War. The article retraces two decades of Giandante X’s oeuvre, concentrating on his work for Antonio Gramsci’s l’Unità and on his manifold agit-prop production for the International Brigades.

Counter-Archival Surplus: Remembering The Partisan Rupture In Post-Socialist Times, Gal Kirn May 2022

Counter-Archival Surplus: Remembering The Partisan Rupture In Post-Socialist Times, Gal Kirn

Artl@s Bulletin

The article departs critically from the postsocialist condition in Yugoslavia marked by conservative revisionism that transformed the memorial landscape. The nation-building process took a clearly negative attitude towards the Yugoslav, socialist and partisan/antifascist past. The first part of the text will shortly present the notion of »counter-archive« and the central features of the method. The second part of the text will offer a short analysis of four case studies: A short partisan poem written by Iztok, a drawing by Dore Klemenčič, a partisan dance by Marta Paulin and a partisan film by Rudi Omota.

Crowd-Machine Partnership On Road Infrastructure Quality Recognition And Resilience, Eric J. Thompson May 2022

Crowd-Machine Partnership On Road Infrastructure Quality Recognition And Resilience, Eric J. Thompson

Discovery Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Research Internship

Public roads are a vital component of modern-day society, as they are necessary for the transportation of people and capital; consequently, it is important that they are regularly and effectively maintained. Unfortunately, this maintenance is difficult to manage due to the sheer area that roads span. It is an arduous task to locate every instance of road damage, as well as to determine the urgency that each bit of damage necessitates. Repairing road damage has high costs in labor, time, and money. To provide a more efficient way to monitor road conditions, we are designing a mobile application that collects …

Processing And Characterization Of Non-Speech Human Sounds -- A Step Towards Automatic Reporting Of Respiratory Disease Symptoms, Sudip Vhaduri, Siva Simhadri, Katherine S. Xiong, Bethany Grace Tennyson

Discovery Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Research Internship

Non-speech human sounds, such as coughing and wheezing are common symptoms of many respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and COVID-19. Thereby, an objective reporting of these symptoms from smartphone microphones can help physicians to monitor and treat patients with different respiratory diseases. However, most often audio recordings from smartphones come with different types of background noises and other non-desired sounds, such as laughing, crying, and snoring. Therefore, it is crucial to first process the raw audio clips to extract desired events, such as coughing and wheezing. In our work, we use the Audacity desktop application to …

A Systems Approach To Studying Online Communities, Jeremy Foote Apr 2022

A Systems Approach To Studying Online Communities, Jeremy Foote

Purdue University Libraries Open Access Publishing Fund

Much early communication research was inspired by systems theory. This approach emphasizes that individuals and groups use communication to interact with and respond to their larger environment and attempts to outline the ways that dif‐ ferent levels interact with each other (e.g., work groups within departments within firms). Many concepts from systems theory—such as emergence and feedback loops—have become integral parts of communication theories. However, until recently, quantitative researchers have struggled to apply a systems approach. Large‐scale, multilevel trace data from online platforms combined with computational advances are enabling a turn back toward systems‐inspired research. I out‐ line four systems‐based …

Song Of Exile: A Cultural History Of Brazil’S Most Popular Poem, 1846–2018, Joshua Alma Enslen Apr 2022

Song Of Exile: A Cultural History Of Brazil’S Most Popular Poem, 1846–2018, Joshua Alma Enslen

Purdue Studies in Romance Literatures

Song of Exile: A Cultural History of Brazil’s Most Popular Poem, 1846–2018 is the first comprehensive study of the influence of Antônio Gonçalves Dias’s “Canção do exílio.” Written in Coimbra, Portugal, in 1843 by a homesick student longing for Brazil, “Song of Exile” has inspired thousands of parodies and pastiches, and new variations continue to appear to this day. Every generation of Brazilian writers has adapted the poem’s Romantic verses to glorify the wonders of the nation or to criticize it via parody, exposing a litany of issues that have plagued the country’s progress over the years. Based on a …
