Iconografías Asociadas Al Mono Araña En Las Culturas Del Centro De Veracruz, Chantal Huckert
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 …
“Popping It” As Family In Mosquitoes & Me: Affective Accumulation And Anzaldúan Aesthetic Consciousness In Ciencia Zurda, Katherine R. Bruna, Jennifer Farley, Lyric Bartholomay
“Popping It” As Family In Mosquitoes & Me: Affective Accumulation And Anzaldúan Aesthetic Consciousness In Ciencia Zurda, Katherine R. Bruna, Jennifer Farley, Lyric Bartholomay
University of Nebraska Public Policy Center: Publications
This article uses key concepts of Anzaldúan philosophy to describe the Mosquitoes & Me summer camp as ciencia zurda or left-handed science. It details a day-in-the-life portrait of Elena, a first-generation Latina middle schooler, as she experiences the opportunities that Mosquitoes & Me provided for self-other bridge crossing and radically relational, Nepantlan potential. Our discussion of Elena’s experiences in terms of Nepantlan principles of diversity, Affect, and spirit, as well as Affective accumulation and aesthetic consciousness, infuse an emotional and spiritual dimension to inquiry science- and responsive sciencecomplementarity and revisit a call for soul-centered, socially-transformative science.

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre
Las antiguas mujeres mayas fueron las encargadas de la elaboración del vestuario y el bordado de los significativos elementos que embellecían tanto sus trajes como los de los varones de su tiempo. Y es que la tarea de tejer, concebida como una metáfora de la creación de la vida, fue considerada una actividad del género femenino. Así, mediante la elaboración de estas prendas ellas plasmaron su identidad como individuos, como mujeres y como pueblo. En este sentido, el trabajo que hemos desarrollado ha consistido en procesar y clasificar toda la información que hasta ahora se ha compilado acerca de los …

Conservación Y Restauración De Tejidos Precolombinos, Teresa Toca
Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre
El material de este estudio lo constituyen cincuenta y siete piezas de tejidos precolombinos de la Zona Andina. Entre estas piezas se encuentran también husos para hilar y madejas de hilo. Todas pertenecen al Instituto de Antropología de la Ciudad de La Habana, y en el momento de ser estudiadas y trabajadas se encontraban depositadas en una bóveda de la Academia de Ciencias de La Habana. Llegué a conectarme con el arte precolombino desde mi perspectiva como pintora, con un ojo sintonizado hacia el uso del color, sus formas y texturas. Me sedujo la manera como en él se resolvían …

Este ensayo se centra en la ofrenda de estatuas monumentales, de tamaño practicamente humano, depositada en el lado occidental del adoratorio al dios de la muerte, en el Montículo 2 de El Zapotal. La indumentaria y los insumos precisos de su función, el incensario en el tocado, en las manos izquierdas las bolsas adornadas por efigies antropomorfas y zoomorfas, y los brazos derechos alzados con las manos en posición de sostener un objeto, una sonaja o un manojo de plumas, crean una escenografía y una temática coherentes y unificadas. A la hasta hoy aceptada lectura de las mujeres embarazadas que …
Iconography Of Sky Bands, Earth Bands, Skull & Crossed-Bones Bands In Classic Maya Art, Nicholas Hellmuth
Iconography Of Sky Bands, Earth Bands, Skull & Crossed-Bones Bands In Classic Maya Art, Nicholas Hellmuth
Segundo congreso internacional de iconografía precolombina. Barcelona, 2023. Actas.
This presentation introduces Maya motifs that tend to be in horizontal bands. The most common horizontal band is the Sky Band. The other common horizontal band is the Surface of the Underwaterworld, associated with Xibalba, below the surface. There is also an Earth Band, made of Caban symbols—rare but present at Palenque. The Witz is usually a “stone mountain” and rarely a band, but deserves to be included and studied. Another set of bands was of skulls and crossed bones; there is an endless band of these at Uxmal and nearby Puuc site of Nohpat. There are other bands that …

Urban Food Security: Examining The Unique Challenges And Opportunities Associated With Ensuring Food Security In Urban Areas, Michael Atuahene Djan
Urban Food Security: Examining The Unique Challenges And Opportunities Associated With Ensuring Food Security In Urban Areas, Michael Atuahene Djan
School of Global Integrative Studies: Faculty Publications
Food security is a significant concern in urban areas (UAs). With the rapid increase in urbanization, addressing this issue has become increasingly important. Despite interventions to tackle food security issues, the world has achieved varying degrees of success in eradicating hunger, and food security in cities is critical. This study examined the unique challenges and opportunities associated with ensuring food security in urban areas. The study reviewed empirical literature and relevant reports in the last five years (2018-2023). This study identified several challenges in ensuring food security in urban regions, across the world, including rising food prices, limited water and …
Of Game Keepers, Opportunism, And Conservation, Raymond Hames
Of Game Keepers, Opportunism, And Conservation, Raymond Hames
Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications
In this collection, gamekeepers are supernatural entities that regulate wildlife hunting in a wide variety of ways. They assist the hunters in pursuit of their prey, ritual respect for the game, and the reincarnation of slain animals. In addition, broader considerations are described, such as the mutual moral obligations between hunters and the supernatural. Gamekeepers seem to be nearly universal in those societies that depend on game animals as an important part of their diet, making the topic interesting from a ideological perspective. Some of the chapters argue that gamekeepers play a role in the conservation of prey types. The …
Cultivating Institutional Change: Infusing Principles Of Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion Into Everyday Honors College Practices, Tara Tuttle, Julie Stewart, Kayla Powell
Cultivating Institutional Change: Infusing Principles Of Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion Into Everyday Honors College Practices, Tara Tuttle, Julie Stewart, Kayla Powell
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
Envisioning and implementing strategic changes around diversity, equity, and inclusion in honors can be paradoxical. While honors colleges are traditionally regarded as tight-knit communities that serve as centers of curricular and pedagogical innovation, they have also been sites of exclusion because of outdated definitions of excellence based on inequitable presuppositions inherent to the university admissions process. Because many honors programs endeavor to produce publicly engaged graduates, creating a diverse, inclusive, and equitable learning environment is a moral imperative. Not only does it provide a safe and welcoming environment for learners, but it also models the type of behavior we want …

University of Nebraska State Museum: Staff and Affiliates, Publications
Hunting has been crucial in early human evolution. Some San (Bushmen) of southern Africa still practice their indigenous hunting. The use of poisons is one remarkable aspect of their bow-and-arrow hunting but the sources, taxonomic identifications of species used, and recipes, are not well documented. This study reports on fieldwork to investigate recent indigenous hunting practices of G/ui and G//ana San communities in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR), Botswana. Here we discuss their use of spider poison. The hunters use the contents of the opisthosoma (‘abdomen’) of a spider as sole ingredient of the arrow poison and discard the …

Transportando El Poder: Los Palanquines En El Clásico Maya, Roberto Romero Sandoval, Octavio Quetzalcóatl Esparza Olguín, Pablo Alberto Mumary Farto
Segundo congreso internacional de iconografía precolombina. Barcelona, 2023. Actas.
En las vasijas tipo códice del periodo Clásico Tardío (600 a 900 d. C.), así como en diferentes tipos de monumentos, existen representaciones de tronos portátiles en escenas palaciegas que fueron utilizados como vehículos para llevar al soberano a diferentes lugares del señorío, o fuera de sus fronteras, con el fin de supervisar actividades rituales, militares y diplomáticas, entre otras. En este sentido, el objetivo del presente trabajo será analizar las distintas representaciones de palanquines en el arte maya, así como destacar su mención en los textos jeroglíficos del Clásico maya, donde se asocian con el vocablo piit, ‘litera, palanquín’. …

Sandhill Crane Lead Poisonings Linked To A Wetland Restoration, Andrew J. Caven, Joshua D. Wiese
Sandhill Crane Lead Poisonings Linked To A Wetland Restoration, Andrew J. Caven, Joshua D. Wiese
Proceedings of the North American Crane Workshop
Toward the end of the 2018 spring sandhill crane migration on the Platte River in Nebraska, we detected 7 dead cranes near a recently restored wetland within 200 m of the river’s main channel. Topographic recontouring of the soils had occurred in January of 2018 and the area was not yet revegetated. The area had formerly hosted an excavated pond where hunting occurred for many years prior to the 1991 ban on lead ammunition for waterfowl harvest. Two of the cranes with no physical signs of trauma were submitted for necropsy. The cause of death in both cases as lead …

Dogs have a special place in human history as the first domesticated species and play important roles in many cultures around the world. However, their role in scientific studies has been relatively recent. With a few notable exceptions (e.g., Darwin, Pavlov, Scott, and Fuller), domestic dogs were not commonly the subject of rigorous scientific investigation of behavior until the late 1990s. Although the number of canine science studies has increased dramatically over the last 20 years, most research groups are limited in the inferences they can draw because of the relatively small sample sizes used, along with the exceptional diversity …
El Refugio De La Imagen Chamánica En El Mundo Malagana, Sonia Blanco, Catalina Simmonds Caldas
El Refugio De La Imagen Chamánica En El Mundo Malagana, Sonia Blanco, Catalina Simmonds Caldas
Segundo congreso internacional de iconografía precolombina. Barcelona, 2023. Actas.
La voluntad de elaborar una pieza antropomorfa, es incidir sobre el objeto, haciéndolo actuante. Tratándose del mundo Malagana – sociedad prehispánica colombiana –, que consideró el papel primordial de la mujer, esta imagen femenina y robusta, en cerámica, de pie, portadora de una máscara, como pieza – soporte simbólica contendría en su epidermis y gesto, una narrativa ritual. Desarrollada en un espacio funerario, como ajuar, personificaría los atributos del mono aullador y convocante de los “espíritus (auxiliares) alter-ego”, de los monos ardilla, intervendría de forma ritualista sobre los humedales del pueblo Malagana, aportándoles el equilibrio para la inflorescencia de la …

Nuevo Acercamiento A La Iconografía De Los Vasos Con Perfiles De Animales Fantásticos, Patricia Ochoa Castillo
Segundo congreso internacional de iconografía precolombina. Barcelona, 2023. Actas.
Perfiles de un animal fantástico, o ser sobrenatural, con rasgos que lo asocian al jaguar, combinado con líneas, rectángulos, las cejas en forma rectangular, ojos almenados, la cabeza con hendidura en la parte superior, así como la presencia de un óvalo bajo la nariz, o banda nasal, son elementos que se repiten en algunas representaciones plasmadas en vasos de base y paredes ligeramente cóncavos. A través del análisis de cada uno de sus elementos se intentará definir el personaje o ser ahí representado y su simbología, que se desarrolla durante el Preclásico.

Segundo congreso internacional de iconografía precolombina. Barcelona, 2023. Actas.
El presente trabajo se centra en el análisis de unos vasos de piedra, producidos en la región valliserrana del noroeste argentino durante el Período Formativo, que se destacan por su escaso número, su particular iconografía que gira en torno a felinos y humanos masculinos, y la maestría en su ejecución. Estos recipientes habrían estado asociados al consumo de sustancias psicoactivas en rituales de carácter chamánico. A través del análisis iconográfico articulado con las características materiales y funcionales se indaga el rol de estos objetos como agentes de legitimación y constitución del poder ejercido por los chamanes.

“It Was Just My Name!”: A Crt/Crf Analysis Of International Female Graduate Students’ Perceptions And Experiences Regarding Their Ethnic Name, Peiwen Wang, Xiaoyan Gu, Amanda Morales
Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications
Although international female students accounted for 44% of the enrolled international students in the United States (U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, 2020), their experiences regarding their ethnic name are relatively understudied in the onomastic literature. This study considers the experiences of eight international female graduate students of Color who are studying at a Midwestern predominantly White university. Utilizing critical race theory (CRT) and critical race feminism (CRF) as the theoretical and analytical lenses, this qualitative phenomenological study collected data through semistructured, in-depth interviews. We explore the meaning of ethnic names and their connection to …
Religious Influences On The Growth Of Literacy Practice, Loukia K. Sarroub, Cassandra Schroeder
Religious Influences On The Growth Of Literacy Practice, Loukia K. Sarroub, Cassandra Schroeder
Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications
Religious influences on the growth of literacy practices are well documented and span more than a century of research ranging from disciplines such as social and cultural anthropology to sociology to language and literacy studies in education. Intellectuals known across disciplines such as Benedict Anderson, Lila Abu-Lughod, Pierre Bourdieu, Jonathan Boyarin, Clifford Geertz, Michaela de Leonardo, Shirley Brice Heath, Alan Peshkin, Claude Lévi Strauss, and Brian Street broke new ground in the 20th century in connecting literacy to religious literacies. In recent years, the work of contemporary language education scholars such as Huamei Han (2018) as well as English education …

Honors Liberal Arts For The 21st Century, John Carrell, Aliza S. Wong, Chad Cain, Carrie J. Preston, Muhammad H. Zaman
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
We argue that honors colleges can deploy the power of the liberal arts to emphasize diversity, equity, global citizenship, ethical leadership, and empowerment by combining liberal arts and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and medicine) fields in interdisciplinary approaches to global challenges, from climate change to the pandemic to forced displacement. As the honors colleges at Texas Tech and Boston University work to be at the forefront of pedagogical and curricular innovation, the twenty-first century has presented us with a student and faculty community becoming increasingly aware of historical, racial, gendered, and socioeconomic disparities, which were further exacerbated by the COVID …

The Teaching Postdoc: What Four Early Career Scholars Learned From An Honors College, Rachel S. Gross, Kylla Benes, Lauren Collins, Holly Riley
Honors in Practice Online Archive
Authors examine the impact of honors education on four early career scholars who each spent two years in a postdoctoral position (2017–2023), highlighting how initial in-depth exposure to honors curricula and culture positively influences professional identity and teaching practice. Fellowships in a Teaching, Research, and Mentoring (TRM) Program offer nascent scholars from a range of disciplines the opportunity to work with students, extend curricular offerings, and launch career trajectories in a variety of ways. Accounts of these experiences should encourage honors program administrators to look to the ranks of early career scholars as desirable instructors.

Studying Abroad At Home? A Virtual International Experience, María Luz García, Sarah Shafi, Camryn Smith, Valentyna Stadnik
Honors in Practice Online Archive
During the period of remote learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, honors programs were forced to innovate new digital possibilities for fulfilling the objectives of an honors education. Learning experiences offered during study abroad programs were among the most difficult to provide in a virtual format. The honors program at Eastern Michigan University has developed the Virtual International Experience (VIE) in response to this need. Even as the 2022–2023 academic year marked a transition back to traditional in-person classes, the VIE offers unique tools for learning skills of cultural analysis and cross-cultural communication, particularly as these occur in remote contexts, …

Resisting Disciplinarity: Curriculum Mapping And Transdisciplinarity, Megan Snider Bailey
Resisting Disciplinarity: Curriculum Mapping And Transdisciplinarity, Megan Snider Bailey
Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive
American higher education relies on a taxonomy of knowledge stemming from Puritan ways of thinking and knowing—a disciplinary classification system that sorts “questions asked” and “answers possible” into epistemic categories. This paper interrogates the notion of disciplinarity to better understand the arbitrariness of epistemic divisions and the harm that these decisions cause. The author explores transdisciplinarity as an emerging concept in honors education, one which rejects boundaries and explores problems through multiple, competing perspectives. Transdisciplinary pedagogical approaches offer honors educators a mechanism for pivoting teaching and learning away from outdated assumptions of honors as elitist, giving honors students a liberating …
