Editorial 1: Unpacking The Complexity Of The Homonym Site/Sight/Cite, Jan Jagodzinski
Editorial 1: Unpacking The Complexity Of The Homonym Site/Sight/Cite, Jan Jagodzinski
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
We invite essays that explore visual regimes that have become established in our public schools or art departments. "Out of sight" might interrogate current ideals, territories, and debates concerning visual cultural education, since this was a distant horizon first discussed in JSTAE in 1980 and is now looming closer in mainstream art education. "Out of sight" might provide us with concerns over our televised, cinematic images that come at us through popular culture. For Lacan, sight was always a form of misrecognition, a form of "ignorance" as brilliantly explored by Magritte. We are all framed by images. So, we invite …
The Mystery Of Dr. Who? On A Road Less Traveled In Art Education, R. Michael Fisher, Barbara Bickel
The Mystery Of Dr. Who? On A Road Less Traveled In Art Education, R. Michael Fisher, Barbara Bickel
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
This article is a 'fun' puzzle (and quiz) to solve. Please do not look to the next pages ahead, or the mystery of Dr. Who will be spoiled. We have recently discovered an intriguing art educator "out of the blue," whose work is largely out of cite/sight in most art education circles today. We want to bring Dr. Who's 'spirit' and work back to life and teach others some of what we have been learning in the past six months of intense research. The two metaphors we utilize (puzzle/ game and invoking a specter) are not without their sociopolitical power …
God, The Taboo Topic In Art Education, Terry Barrett, Valora Blackson, Vicki Daiello, Megan Goffos
God, The Taboo Topic In Art Education, Terry Barrett, Valora Blackson, Vicki Daiello, Megan Goffos
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
A serendipitous match of this journal's call for imagery "that lies outside art educators' accepted sphere"-"out of site/ sight/ cite" - and a (too) rare discussion among art educators talking about God within a secular classroom prompts this article. Concepts of God are generally withheld from the site of public school art classrooms in the United States; many teachers express wariness and fear of bringing artists' sights of God into their public school art rooms, although God and Gods are a frequent subject for artists through time and across place. Further, the topic of God is rarely cited in art …
Marginalia And Meaning: Off-Site/Sight/Cite Points Of Reference For Extended Trajectories In Learning, James Haywood Rolling Jr.
Marginalia And Meaning: Off-Site/Sight/Cite Points Of Reference For Extended Trajectories In Learning, James Haywood Rolling Jr.
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
This study argues that drawing upon off-site/ sight/ cite points of reference affords a space for extended trajectories of learning and the cultivation of rich and atypical personal meaning unavailable within the terrain and climes of typical schooling frameworks. This paper continues the author's effort to establish the efficacy of a poststructural and poetic aesthetic in qualitative research writing.
Reading Objects: Collections As Sites And Systems Of Cultural Order, Alice Wexler
Reading Objects: Collections As Sites And Systems Of Cultural Order, Alice Wexler
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The political nature of making personal and cultural meaning of objects (both ordinary and aesthetic) is the site where transactions between our innate need for order and environmental influences, such as consumerism, are made. Valuing objects leads to the phenomena of collection, a subject that has been of interest in education and psychology since the nineteenth century. I ask how the private collections of children, and later adults, lead to systems of labeling, grouping, and display of art and artifacts in the art and natural history museum. In the age of the meta museum, how do educators question the museum's …
How To Draw A Heart: Teaching Art To Incarcerated Youth, Dennis Earl Fehr
How To Draw A Heart: Teaching Art To Incarcerated Youth, Dennis Earl Fehr
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
This article traces the progress of a social theory-based university art education program in which undergraduate majors teach art to incarcerated youth. It addresses and goes beyond the editor's question, "What imagery lies 'outside' art educators' accepted sphere?" Not only is the imagery of these populations out of sight, but so are the sites of incarceration themselves, they exist not only outside the purview of the art education field, but of nearly every sector of society except the police. Even their families are often "out of sight." The readable, conversational format is a political choice. I offer an alternative to …
Precinct, Gayle Gorman
Precinct, Gayle Gorman
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
"Precinct" was a site-specific art project/ performance/ exhibit put on by SITE: Buffalo Artist Collective, an organization devoted to a nontraditional approach to art emphasizing the experiential and the value of spectered memories contained in found objects and images. With the aid of the Buffalo Arts Commission, the abandoned police precinct (now destroyed) on Niagara Street on Buffalo's West side was open to the public, occupied and interacted with for a one-day event. This venue was specifically selected in order to bypass the gallerycentric mode of display which tends to dominate the world of art. By doing so, SITE made …

Tongues United: Polyphonic Identities And The Hispanic Family, José Medina
Tongues United: Polyphonic Identities And The Hispanic Family, José Medina
Ethnic Studies Review
In this paper I will use the Bakhtinian notion of polyphony,1 of a choral dialogue of multiple and heterogeneous voices, to elaborate a pluralistic account of cultural identity in general and of Hispanic identity in particular. I will complicate and further pluralize the Bakhtinian notion by talking about the overlapping and criss-crossing dialogues of heterogeneous voices that go into the formation of cultural identities. My pluralistic view emphasizes that cultural identity is bound up with differences and opposes those homogeneous models that try to impose a unique articulation of collective identity on the members of a group. Although I will …
Racial Profiling And The War On Terror: Changing Trends And Perspectives, Abu B. Bah
Racial Profiling And The War On Terror: Changing Trends And Perspectives, Abu B. Bah
Ethnic Studies Review
Minorities in the United States have often been treated unfairly by law enforcement agencies. Prior to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States, Blacks were the main victims of racial profiling. Since the terrorist attack, however, Arabs and Muslims are becoming the primary targets for profiling by law enforcement agencies. There are some remarkable similarities between the profiling of Blacks and the profiling of Arabs and Muslims. In both cases, the fundamental problems with racial profiling are that it violates the civil liberties of innocent people and denies minorities the equal protection of the law. The War …
Resistance And Reinvention Of The Subject In Jackie Kay's Trumpet, A. Lâmia Gülçur
Resistance And Reinvention Of The Subject In Jackie Kay's Trumpet, A. Lâmia Gülçur
Ethnic Studies Review
In her work Methodology of the Oppressed, Chela Sandoval claims that although inequities in material sources and subordination by race, class, nation, gender and sex continue to operate under the protection of law and order, a new kind of psychic penetration that respects no previous boundaries is evolving. She argues that "Mutation in culture, today, makes new forms of identity, ethics, citizenship, aesthetics and resistance accessible" (36.7).
[Review Of] Jeff Karem. The Romance Of Authenticity: The Cultural Politics Of Regional And Ethnic Literatures, Helen Lock
Ethnic Studies Review
The "romance of authenticity" to which the title of Jeff Karem's timely new study refers is the romance between the American reading public and the regional or ethnic writer who is viewed as providing an "authentic" cultural viewpoint, often to the extent of becoming regarded as the premier representative of that culture. Karem's argument, however, is that too much "symbolic weight" (205) is often attached to the work of writers seized upon as "representative." They are asked to bear the burden of providing a vicarious and definitive immersion in a particular culture, and therefore their work is judged mostly in …

[Review Of] John Lie. Multiethnic Japan, John B. Richards
Ethnic Studies Review
In preparing Multiethnic Japan, sociologist John Lie set out to describe the lives of the new Asian workers in Japan, but ended up demonstrating that Japan has long been and remains very much a multiethnic country.

Editor's Notes
Ethnic Studies Review
The idea for this issue was conceived shortly after the conclusion of the panel, "Battling White Supremacy with Ethnic Studies" at the 34th annual conference of the National Association for Ethnic Studies in San Francisco. A suggestion was made to publish a special issue on a subject exploring "Critical Race Studies" or "Critical White Studies." As it turned out three of the original panel presenters were interested in participating in the initiative; hardly enough for a publication. The articles by Reiland Rabaka, R. Sophie Statzel and lsabell Cserno are based on their conference papers. As it further turned out, I …

The Souls Of White Folk: W.E.B. Dubois's Critique Of White Supremacy And The Contributions To Critical White Studies, Reiland Rabaka
The Souls Of White Folk: W.E.B. Dubois's Critique Of White Supremacy And The Contributions To Critical White Studies, Reiland Rabaka
Ethnic Studies Review
Traditionally "white supremacy" has been treated in race and racism discourse as white domination of and white discrimination against non-whites, and especially blacks. It is a term that often carries a primarily legal and political connotation, which has been claimed time and time again to be best exemplified by the historic events and contemporary effects of: African holocaust, enslavement and colonization; the "failure" of reconstruction, the ritual of lynching and the rise of Jim Crow segregation in the United States; and, white colonial and racial rule throughout Africa, and especially apartheid in South Africa (Cell, 1982; Fredrickson, 1981; Marx, 1998; …

The Apartheid Conscience: Gender, Race, And Re-Imagining The White Nation In Cyberspace, R. Sophie Statzel

It is not just that the limits of our language limit our thoughts; the world we find ourselves in is one we have helped to create, and this places constraints upon how we think the world anew.
White Conceptions Of Racial Hierarchy: Temporary Versus Permanent Preferences, Jonathan Gayles, Sarah Tobin
White Conceptions Of Racial Hierarchy: Temporary Versus Permanent Preferences, Jonathan Gayles, Sarah Tobin
Ethnic Studies Review
Ideas of race, racial identity, and racial categorization, reflect the inconsistent, context-specific and fluctuating nature of racial meaning (Nagel, 1986; Forbes, 1990; Davis, 1991; Nagel, 1994; Haney-Lopez, 1995; Ignatiev, 1995; Kibria, 1996,1998; Niven & Zilber, 2000; Morning, 2001; Lacy, 2004). Studies of racial hierarchy, specifically, enable an understanding of not only the social construction of race, but also the manner in which ideas of race operate to influence human reality.! Within the United States, race "permeates the lives of the native-born and immigrants alike" (Bashi & McDaniel, 1997, p. 686, see also Bashi, 1998). More specifically, a continuum between white …
Reflections On Racial Identity And The Black Movement In The United States And Brazil, David Covin
Reflections On Racial Identity And The Black Movement In The United States And Brazil, David Covin
Ethnic Studies Review
These reflections are based on a long history of study and involvement in the Black movement in the United States, on friendships with militants in the Brazilian Black movement, and on study of that movement. They arise directly from musings occasioned by comments made by an undergraduate white student in my course, Politics of the African Diaspora, and by my observation of a couple on the Avenida Sete de Setembro in Salvador, Bahia.
Editor's Notes
Ethnic Studies Review
The articles in this volume focus our attention on an ever important and defining part of the ethnic studies project. That is, the continuing quest to seek out information and to form perspectives which better - more completely and accurately - inform the multilayered experiences of ethnic groups. This is a critically important part of what we do in ethnic studies: push the boundaries of what is known towards what is unknown with the belief that more still is knowable. This heuristic feature of ethnic studies insures a dynamism not always found in other disciplines. Ethnic studies scholarship reflects a …

W.E.B. Dubois's "The Comet" And Contributions To Critical Race Theory: An Essay On Black Radical Politics And Anti-Racist Social Ethics, Reiland Rabaka
Ethnic Studies Review
No longer considered the exclusive domain of legal studies scholars and radical civil rights lawyers and law professors, critical race theory has blossomed and currently encompasses and includes a wide range of theory and theorists from diverse academic disciplines. Its most prominent practitioners, initially law professors and "left scholars, most of them scholars of color" employing the work of the breathtakingly brilliant African American lawyer, scholar, and activist Derrick Bell (2005) as their primary point of departure, borrowed from many of the political and theoretical breakthroughs of black nationalism, anti-racist feminism, poststructuralism, and postmodernism. They also employed and experimented with …
[Review Of] Patricia Klindienst. The Earth Knows My Name: Food Culture And Sustainability In The Gardens Of Ethnic America, Harriet Joseph Ottenheimer
[Review Of] Patricia Klindienst. The Earth Knows My Name: Food Culture And Sustainability In The Gardens Of Ethnic America, Harriet Joseph Ottenheimer
Ethnic Studies Review
Perhaps one of the most fascinating parts of this book is its prologue, where Klindienst discusses her own family's rejection of its ethnic Italian heritage. Frightened by the anti-Italian sentiment surrounding the execution of Nicolo Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti in the mid-1920s, Klindienst's family changed their name to something less Italian-sounding (she doesn't say what) and raised their children as assimilated Americans. Only many years later, at a family reunion, did Klindienst learn of her own ethnic origins. Fascinated, she began researching not only her own family's history but also that of Italian Americans in general. In the process she …

"No Opportunity For Song:" A Slovak Immigrant's Silencing Analyzed Through Her Pronoun Choice, Danusha V. Goska
Ethnic Studies Review
I can't tell the most frightening story I know, because stories are made of words, and once I was without them. I was trekking in Nepal and ended up with amnesia. Later I stumbled into a mission hospital with a bruised jaw. A bad fall? I can't say. I had no words. No words for this thing that was wrenching and crying, in which "I" - a bundle of terror - seemed trapped. No words for where I began, stopped, or the mud stubble terrace on which I sat. No words to map, no words to define, no words to …

Whiteness Studies And The Colonial Aesthetic: Western Popular Culture And The Representations Of Race, Isabel Cserno
Ethnic Studies Review
As I have said before, planters are not poetical; but, my heart! if I possessed this place, methinks while young morning blushed, or high noon slept, or gentle dewy evening made nature think and pause, I would stroll upon my terrace, or sit, three parts recumbent, on one of those old oak chairs with Hasting's coronet on it, and forget the world of strife and penury and pain, till I lapsed into a citizen of the other world of peace and plenty and joy!
