Spatial Negotiations In A Commercial City: The Red Sea Port Of Mocha, Yemen During The First Half Of The Eighteenth Century, Nancy Um

Art History Faculty Scholarship

The city of Mocha in Yemen was one of the most important Red Sea ports of the early modern Arab world, handling the trade of spices, textiles, metals, local aromatics and coffee beans. This essay examines the urban structures that governed the needs and practices of merchants in the city during the first half of the eighteenth century. Drawing on contemporary Arabic chronicles, archival European trade documents, historical photographs, and field work in the city, it documents the conspicuous absence of a network of public trade structures, like the urban khan, the expected locus for trade in an Arab city …

The stage of the scientific terminology is by all means one of the indicators of the development of the scientific branch, to which it belongs.

Regionalism And Cultural Identity In Western Amazonia, Donald Pollock

Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America

In this I article examine some of the processes by which new representational strategies are being developed by indigenous communities in western Brazil. While language has long been a marker of identity among indigenous groups, more recent political and economic forces have led to the emergence of forms of identity that transcend traditional language differences. Regionality, for example, has become a potent conceptual field for new forms of identity in western Brazil, but it subtly incorporates the concept of land, linking indigenous identity struggles in this area to the broader problem of land in Brazil.

The Beautiful And The Common: Inequalities Of Value And Revolving Hierarchy Among The Kayapó, Terence Turner

Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America

This paper addresses the nature of hierarchy in indigenous Amazonian and Central Brazilian societies. It takes as its point of departure an analysis of the production and distribution of social value among the Kayapó, considered as representative of the Gê and similar societies like the Mundurucú, Tapirapé, Karajá, and Bororo. This analysis proceeds from the proposition that “production” in such societies is primarily organized as the process of forming social persons and the values associated with their attributes. It proceeds to show how these values are unequally distributed through an exploitative institutional structure based on matri-uxorilocal residence and the subordination …

Y'All Better Ask Somebody, Frank Bramlett

English Faculty Publications

One of the ways that linguists think about language is through geographical distribution, commonly known as dialects. It's very easy to think about geography because of the wide range of locales in which English is spoken. Due to conquest and colonization, English is now a world language. There's British English, Australian English, and Nigerian English, among many others. In the continental U.S., most people readily identify a number of regional dialects: “Midwestern," "New England," "Southern." While some people might call them accents, linguists distinguish between dialect and accent. The term accent refers solely to the way words are …

The Enigma Of The Great Cities: Body And State In Amazonia, Michael J. Heckenberger

Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America

This paper discusses issues of political power in Amazonia, particularly with regard to traditional definitions of the State, in general, and the body or person in Amazonia. Using the historical ethnography of the Upper Xingu region of southern Amazonia as a point of departure, issues of inequality, hierarchy, and social complexity are briefly discussed. Specifically, it is suggested that Xinguano cultural patterns, considered over the long term (circa 800 C.E.–present), show evidence of social hierarchy and regional organization considered characteristic of so-called complex societies elsewhere. As is true in many ancient states and chiefdoms, power is based on strategic control …

Adult Egyptians' Pronunciation Of Initial Consonant Clusters, Moharram El Rohbini

Archived Theses and Dissertations

This thesis investigated the pronunciation problems of syllable initial consonant clusters in word-initial positions for adult Egyptian Students. Several previous studies explored the incorrect strategies that adults used in order to avoid the difficulty of initial consonant cluster pronunciation. Building on the findings of the previous research, this study focused on two aspects related to initial consonant cluster pronunciation. The first aspect was related to the issue of cluster pronunciation, i.e. whether all initial consonant clusters have the same difficulty level or not. Since the EFL teacher is the basic source of input and main pronunciation model for EFL students, …

Responsibility For Past Injustice: How To Shift The Burden, Chandran Kukathas

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

This article considers the question of the responsibility of present generations for injustices committed by previous ones. It asks whether the descendants of victims of past injustice have claims against the descendants of the perpetrators of injustice. Two modes of argument are examined: the individual responsibility approach, according to which descendants cannot have claims against other descendants, and the collective responsibility approach, according to which descendants do have strong claims. Both approaches are criticized, but for different failings. An alternative view, building on the individualist approach, is defended. This view argues that some people may have to bear responsibility for …
