Identidad And Mejicanidad: Dance Transference Through Mexican Folklórico, Azteca, And Flamenco Dance, Erica Ocegueda Feb 2010

Identidad And Mejicanidad: Dance Transference Through Mexican Folklórico, Azteca, And Flamenco Dance, Erica Ocegueda

Theatre & Dance ETDs

Identidad and Mejicanidad examines cultural identity and dance through the lens of 'owners,' 'borrowers,' and 'renters'. I examine how non-professional participants of these dance forms are beacons for cultural expression and serve to explore the fringe of the sense of cultural knowing through Mexican Folklórico, Azteca, and Flamenco dance. Through these dance forms I interrogate how cultural identity frames questions of authenticity and identity. Ownership of cultural identity and issues of authenticity are a source of ire for many underrepresented groups of people. Maintaining who is 'in control' of a cultural expressions' evolution is a common dispute. The legacy of …


Flamenco And Its Gitanos An Investigation Of The Paradox Of Andalusia: History, Politics And Dance Art, Rosamaria Cisneros-Kostic Feb 2010

Flamenco And Its Gitanos An Investigation Of The Paradox Of Andalusia: History, Politics And Dance Art, Rosamaria Cisneros-Kostic

Theatre & Dance ETDs

Andalusia, Spain is considered the birthplace of flamenco. The art form not only embodies but represents the complex, multifaceted Andalusian identity. The southern region is a land of contradictions which includes the Gitano/Roma culture. The Spanish Gitano community laid the foundation for what we now call flamenco. The amalgamation of the cultures which existed in Spain informed the genre. These influences are explored with a thorough analysis of the of the Gitano/Roma nation. I document their journey from India to Spain and unravel the core elements of their identity. I focus on flamenco history and break down the song, guitar …


A Feminist Approach To Understanding Esl Identity Development: A Case Study Of Korean Women In U.S. Universities, Seonsook Park Feb 2010

A Feminist Approach To Understanding Esl Identity Development: A Case Study Of Korean Women In U.S. Universities, Seonsook Park

Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs

Current literature and approaches to identity construction within L2 contexts often fail or underemphasize the important roles that strategic identity and discursive-place identity play in second language acquisition processes. This study explores how education, English discourse, and American cultures affect the identities of three female Korean graduate students in American institutions. The theoretical approach of this project integrated elements from sociocultural theory and feminist research methodology. The participants narratives, collected via interviews and email exchanges over a period of a year, have revealed that when these ESL students moved from their native country, Korea, to America, they were not only …


Narrative As Self Performance: The Rhetorical Construction Of Identities On Facebook Profiles, Marianne Leonardi Feb 2010

Narrative As Self Performance: The Rhetorical Construction Of Identities On Facebook Profiles, Marianne Leonardi

Communication ETDs

New ways of creating and presenting the self in the "space" of the Internet are fascinating, but not yet fully understood. Framed in the theoretical literature of Goffman's presentation of the self, and Burke's conception of rhetoric, the study's primary concern is to explain and understand how Facebook users construct identities using narrative fragments on their profiles and the offline effects of these narrative performances. Specifically, this study argues that narratives are a type of rhetorical performance, and that both narratives and identities have symbolic meaning and rhetorical components. While the effects of online identities occur at the macro-level, the …

Hispanos In The Valley Of Death: Street-Level Trauma, Cultural-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Overdoses, And Suicides In North Central New Mexico, W. Azul La Luz Baez

Sociology ETDs

New Mexico has had the highest per capita drug overdose death rate in the United States, about 18 per 100,000, for more than ten years — 1995 to 2006. The USA's rates for the same period are about 5 per 100,000. North Central New Mexico (the Valley) has the highest per capita 'accidental drug overdose' death rate in all of New Mexico ranging from 42 to 72 per 1000,000 over the course of the eleven years examined, from 1995 to 2006.

Micro-Level Estimation And Decomposition Of Poverty And Inequality In Nepal, Mani Nepal, Alok Bohara Jan 2010

Micro-Level Estimation And Decomposition Of Poverty And Inequality In Nepal, Mani Nepal, Alok Bohara

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Poverty alleviation has become one of the main development agendas of the twenty first century worldwide. But, the identification targeting of poor has been facing fundamental problems due to the lack of required information. Using the micro-level estimation technique we estimate household expenditure for the census households using 1995/96 and 2003/04 household surveys, and estimate different measures of poverty and inequality using the estimated expenditure for those two years at the country level as well as at the regional, districts and village levels, and for the different caste/ethnic households. The public good aspects of this research is that these measures …

The Role Of Spatial And Genetic Modeling To Biogeography, Dolly Lyne Crawford Dec 2009

The Role Of Spatial And Genetic Modeling To Biogeography, Dolly Lyne Crawford

Biology ETDs

One of the most persistent challenges in biology is explaining the distribution of animal taxa. Quantitative explanations for the distribution of organisms are challenged by the complexity of factors that potentially limit a species range, including topography, ecology, climate and biology. Because of limits on data and approaches, early biogeographers were hampered in their ability to explain patterns. Here, I benefit from two primary developments in biogeography. My research draws from the accumulation of data across several scientific disciplines and advances in spatial and statistical approaches to examine the distribution of animal taxa within an integrative biogeography framework. I combine …


Experience Of Nepali Families With Foreign Remittance: Evidence From The Nepal Living Standard Survey, Udaya R. Wagle Nov 2009

Experience Of Nepali Families With Foreign Remittance: Evidence From The Nepal Living Standard Survey, Udaya R. Wagle

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

The period since the 1990s witnessed a strong economic performance and labor demand in many countries in the Middle East, East Asia, and West, which coincided with the major political turmoil in Nepal causing enormous increase in emigration and foreign remittance. Using micro-data for 1996 and 2004, this paper examines foreign remittance to Nepal and its socioeconomic implications. While the increasing values of foreign remittance have some positive effects on reducing poverty and income inequality, findings suggest that most of the benefits may have favored the socioeconomically more advantaged sections of society. The paper discuses implications of these and other …


A Water Quality Assessment Of The Rio Katari River And Its Principle Tributaries, Bolivia, Sara M. Chudnoff Nov 2009

A Water Quality Assessment Of The Rio Katari River And Its Principle Tributaries, Bolivia, Sara M. Chudnoff

Water Resources Professional Project Reports

The Altiplano region of Bolivia located between Lake Titicaca and La Paz is one of the fastest growing regions in the world. Demands for safe drinking water, sewage treatment and cleaner industrial and agriculture methods are not being met and are adversely affecting surface and groundwater sources. Detrimental water quality often leads to water borne illnesses that can be fatal, especially in young children, the elderly and immune compromised individuals. This paper describes a project that was conducted to determine the impact of El Alto and surrounding communities on the water quality of the Rio Katari and its principal tributaries. …

Geographic Disparity In Access To Healthcare In Nepal, Gyanesh Lama Oct 2009

Geographic Disparity In Access To Healthcare In Nepal, Gyanesh Lama

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

Since the 1970s, it has become increasingly clear that geography plays a significant role in determining individuals’ access to needed health services. However, this work has been conducted on population served by private sectors in developed countries. The extent to which geographic disparities exist among the poor in developing countries constrained by economic decline, and the factors that contribute to such disparities are currently unknown. The purpose of this study is to quantify the magnitude and predictors of geographic disparities in health service use among a national sample of women in Nepal.
