Memory, Mythmaking, And Museums: Constructive Authenticity And The Primitive Blues Subject, Stephen A. King Jan 2006

Memory, Mythmaking, And Museums: Constructive Authenticity And The Primitive Blues Subject, Stephen A. King

Faculty Research and Creative Activity

This essay explores how museums, public memory, and authenticity intersect to privilege an understanding of the past. Reflecting White control over the promotion of blues music, the curators at the Delta Blues Museum, located in Clarksdale, Mississippi, employ two rhetorical strategies to satisfy the expectations of (White) tourists who share culturally specific memories of the blues. First, the museum's rhetorical depiction of blues artists reflects White fascination with the mythic image of the primitive blues subject. Second, the exhibit recreates an early 20th century Delta society to complement tourism goals to market the Mississippi Delta as America's last remaining “pure” …


Trapping Phyllophaga Spp. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) In The United States And Canada Using Sex Attractants, Paul S. Robbins, Steven R. Alm, Et Al Jan 2006

Trapping Phyllophaga Spp. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) In The United States And Canada Using Sex Attractants, Paul S. Robbins, Steven R. Alm, Et Al

Plant Sciences and Entomology Faculty Publications

The sex pheromone of the scarab beetle, Phyllophaga anxia, is a blend of the methyl esters of two amino acids, L-valine and L-isoleucine. A field trapping study was conducted, deploying different blends of the two compounds at 59 locations in the United States and Canada. More than 57,000 males of 61 Phyllophaga species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) were captured and identified. Three major findings included: (1) widespread use of the two compounds [of the 147 Phyllophaga (sensu stricto) species found in the United States and Canada, males of nearly 40% were captured]; (2) in most species intraspecific male …

Journal of Health Ethics

The impact of Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast signified the arrival of the most catastrophic natural disaster in United States history. Despite years of dire warnings, the absence of hurricane evacuation policies and disaster contingency plans highlighted not only staggering ineptitudes at all levels of government but at all levels of healthcare organization as well. Thousands of healthcare personnel and, in some instances, their families were stranded in New Orleans hospitals awaiting evacuation in rapidly deteriorating conditions. Many of these healthcare workers are not expected to return to New Orleans. Some of these decisions are infrastructure driven however, many …

Holiday Home Owners, A Route To Sustainable Tourism Development? An Economic Analysis Of Tourist Expenditure Data, Ziene Mottiar Jan 2006

Holiday Home Owners, A Route To Sustainable Tourism Development? An Economic Analysis Of Tourist Expenditure Data, Ziene Mottiar

Articles

Although sustainability comprises economic social and environmental aspects, economic analysis has been less evident in this literature. This article takes an economic perspective to evaluate the contribution of holiday home owners to a local economy. Tourism destinations which are at the mature stages of the tourism lifecycle wish to maximise revenue from tourism while minimising costs such as overcrowding. A prime objective has to be to attract the more valuable tourists. The analysis of North Wexford in Ireland poses questions such as: How does the holiday home owners’ expenditure in the local area compare to that of traditional tourists? Do …


Community: Culture And Function In The Seventh-Day Adventist Church Community, April Evans Jan 2006

Community: Culture And Function In The Seventh-Day Adventist Church Community, April Evans

Capstone Research Projects

Thi s study looks specifically a t the purpos e and function of religious communities in order to analyze the Seventh-day Adventist community as a system and communitarian organism that creates and sustains moral codes and social controls, which thereby is symbiotic with certain identity expressions/formations. My discussion takes place in a rapidly changing broader society of high mobility, internet connectivity, and cultural change. Within the larger global community exists an American community, and within, but also overreaching that community exists a Seventh-day Adventist community that is global. These communities interact with each other, crossing membership boundaries. Within the Seventh-day …

Growing Up With Migration : Impacts On Oaxacan Youth Culture And Identity, Natalie Hudson Jan 2006

Growing Up With Migration : Impacts On Oaxacan Youth Culture And Identity, Natalie Hudson

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

While studying social change and grassroots organization in Oaxaca, Mexico I discovered that every community I visited in Oaxaca City, the surrounding pueblos and the Mixteca region, were heavily impacted by migration. While immigration is playing out in high profile media coverage and in the economies of the U.S. I became interested in the impacts of migration on the people living in Mexico, especially those who are left behind by family and friends who migrate. From these experiences in Oaxaca, Mexico my Capstone developed into an exploration of the identity of Oaxacan youths who have never migrated. I found that …

The Determinants Of The Distribution Of Mortality In Mountain States Counties, Anne Whyte, L. Dwight Israelsen, Ryan D. Israelsen Jan 2006

The Determinants Of The Distribution Of Mortality In Mountain States Counties, Anne Whyte, L. Dwight Israelsen, Ryan D. Israelsen

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

This study identifies the significant factors that affect the distribution of mortality by county in the Mountain States by using mortality data from the Multiple Cause of Death File of the National Center for Health Statistics. From this data, mortality (age at death) Gini coefficients are calculated for males and females for each county in the Mountain States (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming). These data are available for all counties only through 1989. Hence, the model of determinants of the distribution of mortality is tested using data from 1989-1990. Previous studies of the determinants of …
