Where Has Rotuman Culture Gone? And What Is It Doing There?, Alan Howard, Jan Rensel

Pacific Studies

This article explores the now-problematic concept of “culture” and related terms in the context of a diffuse transnational Rotuman population, more than three- fourths of whom live abroad in Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, and Europe. We begin by reflecting on prevailing criticisms of the culture concept, then present data in historical perspective on Rotuman communities in five different locations: Rotuma, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawai‘i. In presenting these data we examine the patterning effects of four key variables, in- cluding (1) macrosocietal attitudes, (2) the nature of the migration flow, (3) the size of communities, …

History Of Brazil, Judy Bieber

Brazil Curriculum Study Guides

This guide is an updated and expanded version of that written by Michael Conniff and Fred Sturm for the first Brazil Curriculum Guides Series published by the Latin American and Iberian Institute of the University of New Mexico in 1985. To summarize nearly five hundred years of Brazilian history and to identify relevant historiographical trends is a daunting task. This guide is meant to serve as a preliminary overview, and given length limitations, is by no means an exhaustive treatment of the subject. I give priority to works of history, but anthropology, sociology, and other disciplines are also represented where …

Anything To Act Crazy: Cajun Women And Mardi Gras Disguise, Carolyn E. Ware

Faculty Publications

As women play an increasingly prominent part in many Cajun Mardi Gras runs, they bring their own styles of roleplaying and masking to the celebration. A handful of creative women have taken the lead in commodifying the rural tradition, making and marketing Mardi Gras suits and masks on a large scale. This article looks at Cajun women's disguises as a way of understanding their larger influence on the festival.

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article, "Globalization and Conferencing Comparative Literature in Egypt and Slovenia," Babis Dermitzakis discusses two recent conferences in the discipline of comparative literature. The former conference was held on the topic of literary criticism in Cairo and the latter on the genre of the romantic epic poem in Ljubljana.

The conference participants as much as the organizers intended to show that cultures and countries peripheral to economic, political, and cultural centres -- …

A Mechanistic Model For Internal Bone Remodeling Exhibits Different Dynamic Responses In Disuse And Overload, Scott J. Hazelwood, R. Bruce Martin, Mark M. Rashid, Juan J. Rodrigo

Biomedical Engineering

Bone is a dynamic tissue which, through the process of bone remodeling in the mature skeleton, renews itself during normal function and adapts to mechanical loads. It is, therefore, important to understand the effect of remodeling on the mechanical function of bone, as well as the effect of the inherent time lag in the remodeling process. In this study, we develop a constitutive model for bone remodeling which includes a number of relevant mechanical and biological processes and use this model to address differences in the remodeling behavior as a volume element of bone is placed in disuse or overload. …

The New Knowledge Management And Online Research And Publishing In The Humanities, Steven Tötösy De Zepetnek

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article, "The New Knowledge Management and Online Research and Publishing in the Humanities," Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek discusses the problematics of new media scholarship and technology and online publishing in the humanities today. He argues that while there are legitimate questions about scholarly material in the humanities online, the reality is that most undergraduate as well as graduate students today use the web for at least the initial stages of their research. In order to increase the quality of content of scholarship on the world wide web, scholars in the humanities ought to get involved with new media …

Gender, Literature, And Film In Contemporary East Central European Culture, Anikó Imre

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article, "Gender, Literature, and Film in Contemporary East Central European Culture," Anikó Imre discusses gender, literature, and film in Hungary in the context of East Central European national cultures of the 1980s and 1990s. Anikó Imre analyzes the analogous gender structures that underlie both nation and literature in these transitional cultures. She challenges both social science studies of post-communist transitions and studies of East Central European literatures and cultures for their traditional neglect of gendered desire as a political factor. Thereby, Imre adopts a deconstructionist, feminist, and post-colonial approach to Hungarian "postmodernist" literature and film, which, similar to …

Crossing Myriad Borders: A Dimensional Analysis Of The Migration And Health Experiences Of Indigenous Oaxacan Women, Sharon Mcguire Phd, Op, Msn, Rn-C

Dissertations

The growing feminization of the migration of ethnic indigenous women, such as Mixtecs, Zapotecs and Triquis from the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, are altering the dynamics and configuration of traditional Mexican migration, making it especially significant for the health professions. Informed by a postcolonial ecofeminist paradigm, this bi-national grounded theory study explored the migration and health experiences of indigenous Oaxacan immigrant/migrant women. Data collection using participant observation and interviewing occurred in Oaxaca, Mexico, along the US-Mexico border, and the interior of California. Dimensional analysis was used as the method of data analysis to generate theoretical understandings of these phenomena. …

The Art And Science Of Critical Scholarship: Postmodernism And International Style In The Legal Architecture Of Europe, Ugo Mattei, Anna Di Robilant

Faculty Scholarship

This Article is a critique of several contemporary modes of thought in European legal scholarship. It intends to shed light on some interesting phenomena within legal ideology. Removing a legal ideology from its original context and applying it to a new situation can transform its meaning. For example, a progressive movement born in the United States becomes conservative when transplanted into the European institutional context The study of the Americanization of European law has offered many examples of such fascinating ideological twists.
