[Review Of] Gail H. Landsman, Sovereignty And Symbol: Indian-White Conflict At Ganienkeh, Ronald N. Satz Jan 1989

[Review Of] Gail H. Landsman, Sovereignty And Symbol: Indian-White Conflict At Ganienkeh, Ronald N. Satz

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Anthropologist Landsman has written a fascinating study about the events surrounding the seizure of a 612-acre abandoned girls' camp in upstate New York in May 1974 by a group of Mohawks who named their settlement Ganienkeh. The ensuing Indian-white land dispute eventually culminated in the relocation of the Indians to parkland near the Canadian border in 1978 as a result of a unique arrangement, the Turtle Island Trust Agreement, which for "charitable, religious and educational purposes" under New York State law established "a permanent, non-reservation settlement of Indians claiming sovereign status."

A Critical Analysis Of Cbs Evening News Coverage Of Two U.S.-U.S.S.R. Summit Meetings: Vienna 1979 And Geneva 1985, James M. Ellis Jr. Jan 1989

A Critical Analysis Of Cbs Evening News Coverage Of Two U.S.-U.S.S.R. Summit Meetings: Vienna 1979 And Geneva 1985, James M. Ellis Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

Nearly four hours of CBS Evening News summit reports, loaned by the Vanderbilt Television News Archive, were coded to construct a descriptive analysis and comparison of the coverage of the 1979 and 1985 summit meetings. Variables coded include speaker, language, origin of video and audio content, topic and quoted sources. Soviet speakers and topics were given proportionately more air time in 1985 than in 1979. But despite large differences in several important areas such as Soviet willingness to communicate via television, different leaders and their images, geopolitical factors, and improved video technology, many patterns of coverage showed similarities from 1979 …

Toward Foundations For A Socially Critical Art Education, Paul Duncum Jan 1989

Toward Foundations For A Socially Critical Art Education, Paul Duncum

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Significant recent developments in Australian art education have moved away from a consideration of the aesthetic value of fine art products to a broad sociological conception of the visual arts which includes folk and popular arts. Many art educators assume a socially functionalist approach which celebrates cultural diversity and attempts to describe the function of cultural artifacts, sometimes in terms of lived experience. While acknowledging the importance of these developments, the author adopts the view that cultural production is part of an unjust society in ferment and is a site of ideological struggle. The view advanced is that to be …

Conference As Ritual: Structures For The Unsavage Mind, Ronald N. Macgregor Jan 1989

Conference As Ritual: Structures For The Unsavage Mind, Ronald N. Macgregor

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Anthropologists like Victor Turner and Edward Bruner focus their attention on the experience of experiencing. Their approach is to make an initial distinction between behavior, which is noted in other people, and experience, which is personally felt. It is a germane distinction, for anthropologists of their persuasion are more inclined to describe how it felt to be there, rather than what went on. Their stance is closer to phenomenology than to ethnography, and their efforts are concentrated on what gave the occasion its special flavor, its extraordinary character. Their approach suits my present purpose admirably, since my question is, What …

Conferences And Communitas: Making Magic Happen… Sometimes, Brent Wilson Jan 1989

Conferences And Communitas: Making Magic Happen… Sometimes, Brent Wilson

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

The field of art education hardly qualifies as a tribal society. Nevertheless, there are some “tribal” analogies that might be made as we study our customs and conventions, our mores and mutations, and the sources of our symbols and sillinesses. Indeed, our annual conferences are fitting subjects for anthropological analyses. And although I haven’t filled my sketchbooks with notes and drawings of our National Art Education Association Conventions with ethnographic studies in mind, in retrospect they just might serve that purpose. What do my notes and my memories tell us about these yearly meetings of the tribe? What planned purposes …

An Open Letter To Members Of The Caucus, Jan Jagodzinski Jan 1989

An Open Letter To Members Of The Caucus, Jan Jagodzinski

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

In the last Caucus Newsletter, we announced the results of the poll about the name of the Bulletin of the Caucus on Social Theory and Art Education. Of thirteen responses received, ten supported the change from Bulletin to Journal. There were six votes against the introduction of an additional word and flavor into the title: two because they did not like the esoteric nature of the suggested word(s); two because they did not want a greater length to the title. One suggested reducing the name to the Bulletin/Journal on Social Theory and Art Education. Of the seven who voted favorably, …

Cultural Literacy As Social Empowerment, Laurie Hicks Jan 1989

Cultural Literacy As Social Empowerment, Laurie Hicks

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

The concept of cultural literacy as a process of becoming socially empowered is developed. A comparison is made between “Getty-ized DBAE” with an approach to art education informed by the development of cultural literacy. How these approaches differ, not only in their design but in the fundamental goals which motivate and guide them is illustrated. An outline is presented of a pedagogical structure around which a cultural literacy approach to art education can be organized and implemented.

Critique [Of American Medical And Intellectual Reaction To African Health Issues, 1850-1960: From Racialism To Cross-Cultural Medicine By David Mcbride], Celia J. Wintz Jan 1989

Critique [Of American Medical And Intellectual Reaction To African Health Issues, 1850-1960: From Racialism To Cross-Cultural Medicine By David Mcbride], Celia J. Wintz

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Theories about inherent racial characteristics, both those purporting to be scientifically (empirically) based and those emanating from the "soft" sciences, have changed dramatically over the past century and a half. As David McBride notes, the basis for research about the etiology of disease and the provision of health care in the United States has been and continues to be empirically questionable. McBride further argues that the American health care approach has been significantly influenced by cultural, social, and economic factors which had little or no relation to scientific truth.

American Medical And Intellectual Reaction To African Health Issues, 1850-1960: From Racialism To Cross-Cultural Medicine, David Mcbride

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

During recent decades, social scientists, particularly anthropologists, sociologists and medical historians, have looked increasingly at how social and cultural factors inform a society's medical community and vice-versa. As Roger Cooter recently stated, "... medicine is a social phenomenon capable of being properly studied only when treated as a part of its social, political, economic and cultural totality."[1] In America, a steady flow of medical sociologists -- most notably Henry E. Sigerist in the 1940s, Talcott Parsons in the 1950s, David Mechanic in the 1960s and 1970s, and Vern and Bonnie Bullough in the 1980s -- contributed numerous empirical studies that …

Abstracts From The Seventeenth Annual Naes Conference

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Johnnella Butler, chair of Afro-American Studies at the University of Washington, directed the seventeenth annual Conference on Ethnic and Minority Studies in Seattle. Graduate students and staff from the Department of American Ethnic Studies provided support for the planning and several students from the University of Washington participated either as presenters or observers. Participants from throughout the United States arrived in Seattle during a rare spring snowstorm to hear papers on the conference theme, "Ethnicity in America: Interdisciplinary Approaches." Participants were welcomed by James D. Nason, Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington, and the General …

VCU Voice, 1988-1998

VCU Today, the University’s first official administrative organ, began as a somewhat irregular monthly publication but moved to a bi-weekly newspaper format in the 1980s. The newspaper changed its name to VCU Voice in 1988 and ten years later it appeared under the title UniverCity News. As it neared the end of its run as a physical newspaper, the publication became simply VCU News. These four publications were essentially the same periodical published under different titles by the Office of University Relations. VCU News appeared online for the first time in 2002.

[Review Of] Gilbert L. Wilson. Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden: Agriculture Of The Hidatsa Indians, Norma C. Wilson Jan 1988

[Review Of] Gilbert L. Wilson. Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden: Agriculture Of The Hidatsa Indians, Norma C. Wilson

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden was originally published in 1917 as Agriculture of the Hidatsa Indians: An Indian Interpretation. First written as Wilson's doctoral dissertation, the book is particularly informative about the gardening techniques of Hidatsa women. The narrative voice is that of Maxidiwiac (Buffalo Bird Woman). Thus, the book fits within the genre of as-told-to autobiography; however, the narrative is more focused and detailed than Wilson's general autobiography of the same woman, Waheenee: An Indian Girl's Story, published in 1921.

[Review Of] Rodney Frey. The World Of The Crow Indians: As Driftwood Lodges, Robert Gish

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Ethnographic studies have long been plagued by questions of credibility. Can the ethnographer believe his or her sources? And, in turn, can readers believe the ethnographer? Ronald Frey knows full well that such issues of "believability" plague anyone attempting to understand a culture's otherness from the outside. He is determined to explain general historical, religious, and cultural aspects of "the world of the Crow Indians" from as close to the inside as he possibly can tell them.

[Review Of] Vinson Brown. Native Americans Of The Pacific Coast, William Oandasan Jan 1988

[Review Of] Vinson Brown. Native Americans Of The Pacific Coast, William Oandasan

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In the introduction to Native Americans of the Pacific Coast, Vinson Brown presents many admirable ambitions for any scholar writing on human existence. Brown proclaims that he will attempt to make the first Americans "live" in the style of the 1500s to 1700s during the "days of old" and of "glory and independence." He then proceeds to assert that, in order to accomplish this goal, antiquated concepts used to "justify" the conquest of tribal Peoples must be "put aside." He urges us, "instead," to be inquisitive and open so that we can "see and hear" what indigenous life was like …

[Review Of] David Montejano. Anglos And Mexicans In The Making Of Texas, 1836-1986, Helen M. Castillo

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Montejano presents an organized historical perspective of Anglos and Mexicans in the making of Texas. Four major time periods of incorporation, reconstruction, segregation and integration are used effectively to compartmentalize major historical events, serve as accurate sociopolitical descriptors and facilitate reader comprehension of these events. This approach is particularly helpful to the novice historian in conjunction with the tables and maps used to illustrate the content discussed. Sensitive ethnic cultural issues are discussed objectively with inflammatory or emotion laden terms avoided. Though subtle, subjectivity is present in the author's interpretative comments of Texas-Mexico history; the reader gains a sense of …

[Review Of] S. Frank Miyamoto. Social Solidarity Among The Japanese In Seattle, Neil Nakadate Jan 1988

[Review Of] S. Frank Miyamoto. Social Solidarity Among The Japanese In Seattle, Neil Nakadate

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Social Solidarity among the Japanese in Seattle is a rare and irreplaceable study of Japanese American life prior to World War II. Its focus is "the social relational network of the Japanese community" as dominated by the immigrant, first generation Issei -- the intimate fusion of expectations, obligations, and reciprocity that prevailed in the years between immigration and internment. First published in 1939, Miyamoto's monograph was reprinted in 1981 and 1984 by the Asian American Studies Program at the University of Washington, each time with a new introduction by the author.

The Co-Opting Of Ethnic Studies In The American University: A Critical View, Jesse M. Vazquez Jan 1988

The Co-Opting Of Ethnic Studies In The American University: A Critical View, Jesse M. Vazquez

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The birth of ethnic studies in the American university was accompanied by the politics and pedagogy of rage, pride, and mistrust for the then prevailing curricular academic structures and its tradition-bound, academically conservative gatekeepers. The campus take-overs, student demands, and confrontations were a common expression of the times, and concomitantly these were also shapers of the changing times. The presence or absence of ethnic minority faculty and students in our universities was and continues to be one of many indices by which we measure the willingness of this society to live up to its responsibility and promise to guarantee expanding …

[Review Of] Susan E. Keefe And Amado M. Padilla. Chicano Ethnicity, Joe Rodriguez Jan 1988

[Review Of] Susan E. Keefe And Amado M. Padilla. Chicano Ethnicity, Joe Rodriguez

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Chicano Ethnicity is a valuable contribution to ethnic scholarship and the question of why people of Mexican descent in the U.S. choose different names. Chicano, Mexican-American, American of Mexican descent, and Mexicano are distinct. Since this population is heterogeneous, Keefe and Padilla study how three primary factors, Cultural Awareness, Ethnic Loyalty, and Assimilation/Acculturation account for such diversity. These three primary factors shape unique expressions of group identity and an extended sense of the self.
