Testing Hypotheses Of The Demographic Transition In San Borja, Bolivia, Kristin Snopkowski Dec 2011

Testing Hypotheses Of The Demographic Transition In San Borja, Bolivia, Kristin Snopkowski

Anthropology ETDs

Understanding the demographic transition, a trend in which fertility drops after a period of population growth, has been an important area of anthropological and demographic research. This dissertation seeks to understand fertility change by testing five models that have been presented in the literature. The predictions that are unique to each hypothesis are tested in San Borja, Bolivia, a community currently undergoing a fertility transition. Low modern fertility seems counter-intuitive given the increase of individual wealth, but there have not been sufficient tests to lead to an understanding of why this occurs. Informational hypotheses explain fertility transition as a change …


Native Artists Helping Our People Endure (Hope): A Social Capital Analysis Of A Grassroots Art Initiative To Address Youth Suicide In An Indigenous Community, Nathania Tsosie Dec 2011

Native Artists Helping Our People Endure (Hope): A Social Capital Analysis Of A Grassroots Art Initiative To Address Youth Suicide In An Indigenous Community, Nathania Tsosie

Architecture and Planning ETDs

This study identifies and examines the components of social capital related to a grassroots initiative to address Indigenous youth suicide through art. The Native Artists for HOPE’s Thoreau Youth Art Project was organized by a small group of professional Native American artists in response to a sudden increase of youth suicide in a community on the Navajo Nation. Built on cultural core values identified by the artists themselves, the day long workshop encourages self-expression and creativity as an alternative to risky behaviors believed by community members to be related to suicide. A brief literature review of social capital including its …


The Structure Of Energy Production And Redistribution Among Tsimane' Forager-Horticulturalists, Paul L. Hooper Dec 2011

The Structure Of Energy Production And Redistribution Among Tsimane' Forager-Horticulturalists, Paul L. Hooper

Anthropology ETDs

This dissertation constitutes an integrated analysis of the Tsimane' economic subsistence system. Its analyses are guided by a body of evolutionary theory which posits that life history traits, the structure of social relationships, and nature of economic production co-evolve in patterned and predictable ways. This theory specifically suggests that, for humans, the returns to embodied capital development and declines in reproductive efficiency late in life interact to produce: prolonged development, extended lifespan, menopause, and a predominantly downward three-generational system of energetic provisioning. The current analyses of Tsimane' work effort, production, and transfers are consistent with this theory in the following …

Tragicidade - A Violenta Relação Entre As Diferentes Classes Sociais Nos Centros Urbanos Brasileiros E Sua Representação Na Literatura Contemporânea, Daniela Meireles

Research Papers

O presente ensaio irá examinar a representaçäo da violência e segregaçäo urbana nos contos Solar dos Princípes' e 'Esquece' da coletânea Contos Negreiros (2005) e 'Angu de Sangue' e 'J.C.J.' da coletânea Angu de Sangue (2000) de Marcelino Freire. A análise será feita em busca de respostas para as seguintes perguntas: frente a exclusäo social e consequente negaçäo a plena cidadania, como se comportam os personagens dos contos analisados? O que esse comportamento revela sobre a vida em sociedade nos centros urbanos? O que os contos comentam sobre a cidadania?'

Políticas Y Cultura En La Última Argentina Autoritaria: Estado Y Teatro Entre 1976 Y 1983, Leonardo Mangialavori, Miguel Barrientos

Research Papers

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar las relaciones que se dieron en el desarrollo de la producción teatral y las herramientas con las que contó el Estado Argentino para el fortalecimiento de una identidad nacional durante el Proceso de Reorganización Nacional' (1976-83). \xbfCómo operó el Estado en relación a las artes y cómo éstas respondieron? Concientes del papel que juega la cultura en el desarrollo de la identidad colectiva, intentaremos observar la acción y omisión que el Estado impuso en una de las disciplinas más significativas y quizás menos exploradas: el teatro.'


Inquisitive Objects: Material Culture And Conversos In Early Modern Ciudad Real, Jessica Weiss Nov 2011

Inquisitive Objects: Material Culture And Conversos In Early Modern Ciudad Real, Jessica Weiss

Research Papers

Between 1483 and 1526, one-hundred and twenty-four trials were conducted by the Spanish Inquisition against conversos in Ciudad Real. The notarial records from these trials contain a multitude of references to material culture, including sculpted artworks, candles, and effigies. This essay analyzes the references to materiality utilized in arraignments, witness testimonies, and verdicts, and then correlates them to broader constructions of cultural identity. These references reveal a pre-modern animistic world view in which objects both shape and are shaped by their participation as active agents in religious ritual.

El Pensamiento Intelectual Comunista En Argentina: Una Relectura De Héctor P. Agosti Y Su Introducción Al Pensamiento De Gramsci, Alexia Massholder

Research Papers

Uno de los efectos de la llamada Guerra Fría' iniciada a mediados de la década de 1940, fue el recrudecimiento de las posiciones soviéticas y norteamericanas en todos los frentes. La contienda en el plano ideológico cobró un carácter central y explícito, ejerciendo una fuerte influencia en quienes apoyaban a ambos contendientes. En ese contexto, el informe de Andrei Zhdanov sobre arte y literatura ante el Partido Comunista de la Unión Soviética resonó en los partidos comunistas que, lógicamente, se alineaban con la Unión Soviética. El Partido Comunista de la Argentina (PCA) sintió los efectos de este informe en el …

Oxygen Isotopes In Diatom Silica : A New Understanding Of Silica-Water Oxygen Isotope Fractionation In Diatom Frustules And An Application Of Diatom D180 Values As A Record Of Paleohydrologic Variability In A Middle-Pleistocene Lacrustine Core From The Valles Caldera, New Mexico, Justin Dodd Aug 2011

Oxygen Isotopes In Diatom Silica : A New Understanding Of Silica-Water Oxygen Isotope Fractionation In Diatom Frustules And An Application Of Diatom D180 Values As A Record Of Paleohydrologic Variability In A Middle-Pleistocene Lacrustine Core From The Valles Caldera, New Mexico, Justin Dodd

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

I present oxygen isotope data from modern diatom frustules that were collected from freshwater systems in the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico. The frustules display a constant silica-water fractionation over the measured temperature range (5.1 to 37.8°C) regardless of species. This relationship is in close agreement with other published silica-water fractionation factors for laboratory cultured diatom samples; however, it is as much as 8° lower than equilibrium quartz-water fractionations and 3 to 4° lower than observed silica water fractionations in diatomaceous silica collected from sediment traps and sediment cores. Post mortem loss of organic material results in an alteration …


Los Tres Grandes - Herman Gallegos, Ernesto Galarza, Julian Samora: Rooted In Community, Guided By Friendship, Cultivating Leadership., Carmen R. Samora Aug 2011

Los Tres Grandes - Herman Gallegos, Ernesto Galarza, Julian Samora: Rooted In Community, Guided By Friendship, Cultivating Leadership., Carmen R. Samora

American Studies ETDs

Los Tres Grandes, Ernesto Galarza, Herman Gallegos, and Julian Samora, fused intellectual constructs and grassroots strategies to reverse the societal dynamics they understood had marginalized Mexican Americans at both governmental and social levels. In 1968, the three scholar/activists launched the Southwest Council of La Raza (SWCLR), which four years later became the National Council of La Raza. My dissertation explores the relationship of these three men, a nexus of history and personality that launched what became the largest civil rights organization for Latinos in the United States. At a time when foundations earmarked minority support primarily for African Americans, Los …


Gender, Power, And Authority In Indigenous Mexico City, 1700-1829, Margarita R. Ochoa Aug 2011

Gender, Power, And Authority In Indigenous Mexico City, 1700-1829, Margarita R. Ochoa

History ETDs

The question that has long tantalized historians, observing the process of Mexico City's transition from indigenous center to Spanish capital, was what became of the vast indigenous populations organized into 'cities and villages and towns' that so amazed Bernal Díaz, Hernando Cortés, and others. This dissertation aims precisely to answer that question, especially for the late colonial period when it would seem that multiple generations of the indigenous and non-indigenous would have so intermingled in the city as to be the dominant portion of the population. In addition to this demographic hybridization or mestizaje, there is the cultural question: After …


Nps In Conversation And Narratives: The Effects Of Genre, Information Flow And Interaction, Jenny Dumont Aug 2011

Nps In Conversation And Narratives: The Effects Of Genre, Information Flow And Interaction, Jenny Dumont

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

This dissertation investigates the grammar of noun phrases as produced in two genres (spontaneous conversations and Pear Film narratives) of spoken Ecuadorian Spanish. As speakers converse and narrate, they make choices about what form (full NP, pronoun, unexpressed) to use for a noun in a particular context, how to best modify that noun (choice of article and other determiners) and what syntactic role to use; this is a study of the different factors that motivate those decisions. The patterns of use described here show that noun phrase grammar is shaped by the need to track referents and also by a …


"There Is A Threeness About You": Trinitarian Images Of God, Self, And Community Among Medieval Women Visionaries, Donna E. Ray Aug 2011

"There Is A Threeness About You": Trinitarian Images Of God, Self, And Community Among Medieval Women Visionaries, Donna E. Ray

History ETDs

Despite the ineffability of the Holy Trinity, not to mention its logical impossibility—that the three persons of the Godhead are also one—many medieval thinkers tried hard to capture its essence and importance. Among the richest and most original medieval images of the Trinity were those produced by women visionaries. This is a comparative study of seven of these women—Hildegard of Bingen, Mechthild of Hackeborn, Gertrude of Helfta, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Hadewijch of Brabant, Julian of Norwich, and Christine de Pizan—and their visionary experiences, related through both word and image, of the Holy Trinity. While they were careful to claim doctrinal …

Cashing In On Indian Casinos: The Impacts Of "Off-Reservation" Casinos On Sovereignty, The Gaming Industry, Surrounding Communities, Reservations, And Tribal Identities, Adam D. Bubb Aug 2011

Cashing In On Indian Casinos: The Impacts Of "Off-Reservation" Casinos On Sovereignty, The Gaming Industry, Surrounding Communities, Reservations, And Tribal Identities, Adam D. Bubb

American Studies ETDs

This study examines the impacts of four tribes, the Forest County Potawatomi, Sault Ste Marie Chippewa, Mashantucket Pequot, and Florida Seminole, and their alternative methods to acquire and participate in off-reservation gaming. The case studies provide geographical and situational examples on how the changing tribal gaming market is reshaping and redefining the boundaries of sovereignty on and off of tribal lands and non-tribal lands. Each case study provides a detailed history of the tribe and their gaming experiences. Through the use of a cultural site analysis, each tribe's on and off-reservation gaming facilities were examined to measure the economic and …


Sacrilege In Dinétah: Native Encounters With Glen Canyon Dam, Sonia Dickey Aug 2011

Sacrilege In Dinétah: Native Encounters With Glen Canyon Dam, Sonia Dickey

History ETDs

This dissertation spotlights indigenous encounters with Glen Canyon Dam and places Native peoples, especially the Diné, at the center of the dam story. In doing so, it exposes the façade masquerading a less pleasant and creditable reality surrounding the dam than historians have conventionally offered. Considering traditional knowledge; relationships to homeland; pivotal moments in Navajo history, such as the Long Walk and the Bosque Redondo and the stock reduction of the 1930s and 1940s; as well as mid-century Navajo Tribal Council concerns, this study uncovers a multifaceted story of water and energy development in the Southwest. In this version, the …


La Danse Du Tutuguri Ou Le Rite Du Soleil Noir : Une Performance Textuelle D'Antonin Artaud., Anne-Sabine Nicolas Jul 2011

La Danse Du Tutuguri Ou Le Rite Du Soleil Noir : Une Performance Textuelle D'Antonin Artaud., Anne-Sabine Nicolas

Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs

Antonin Artaud, author of the famous "The Theatre and Its Double" and the concept of Theatre of Cruelty, arrived in Mexico in 1936 with the intent of revising the paradigm of Western theatre by emphasizing its strong connection with life forces. Artaud considered theatre to be a spiritual and healing practice for both the performer and the audience while creating a shift in consciousness. His journey took him to the land of the Tarahumara Indians in the Sierra Madre, where he participated in the annual sacred Peyotl ceremony conducted by powerful shamans. Artaud's ethno-poetic account of their cosmology confirmed his …
