Toward A Visceral Scholarship Online: Folkvine.Org And Hypermedia Ethnography, Craig Saper Jan 2008

Toward A Visceral Scholarship Online: Folkvine.Org And Hypermedia Ethnography, Craig Saper

The Journal of e-Media Studies

This essay describes an experiment in scholarly presentation and ethnographic representation. The project, called folkvine.org, focuses on folk art and artists in Florida. It specifically examines Ruby C. Williams, Taft Richardson, Diamond Jim Parker, the Scott family, and Ginger LaVoie among many other folk and outsider artists represented on the website. Design functions as a crucial aspect of the content to illuminate the sensibility of the artists and traditions explored. The visceral, visual, and sonic modes function not as ornamentation. The visceral design of scholarship, not merely an ornament or a necessarily invisible lens for scholarship, has unique advantages. This …

J. Edgar Hoover, Speech Before The House Committee On Un-American Activities (26 March 1947), Stephen M. Underhill Jan 2008

J. Edgar Hoover, Speech Before The House Committee On Un-American Activities (26 March 1947), Stephen M. Underhill

Communications Faculty Research

J. Edgar Hoover fought domestic communism in the 1940s with illegal investigative methods and by recommending a procedure of guilt by association to HUAC. The debate over illegal surveillance in the 1940s to protect national security reflects the on‐going tensions between national security and civil liberties. This essay explores how in times of national security crises, concerns often exist about civil liberties violations in the United States.

Choreographing The Other: The Serbian State Folk Dance Ensemble, Gypsies, Muslims And Albanians, Anthony Shay Jan 2008

Choreographing The Other: The Serbian State Folk Dance Ensemble, Gypsies, Muslims And Albanians, Anthony Shay

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

I argue that the power to represent is not only power in a theoretical Foucauldian sense, but the power of representation, especially of those powerless to resist the field of representation provided by state-supported national dance ensembles, is a very real power. Dance scholars have begun to look at issues of representation and dance and human rights within fascist and communist contexts of the past, as well as questioning the stances toward dance taken by theocratic regimes like that of the Islamic Republic and Iran and the former Taliban regime of Afghanistan. I also suggest that the actual content of …


Dance And Human Rights In The Middle East, North Africa, And Central Asia, Anthony Shay Jan 2008

Dance And Human Rights In The Middle East, North Africa, And Central Asia, Anthony Shay

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

In this essay, Islam itself is first examined in order to determine how individual Muslims justify to themselves and to others the banning of dancing in various contexts. Following a brief discussion of Islam as it relates to dance, some of the myriad dance genres and contexts found in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia are discussed. Finally, I consider the many ways in which many Muslims perceive dance, and then describe and analyze the local reactions to dancing in its complexity. This approach elucidates multiple meanings that create a pattern of behavior within specific cultural contexts.


E-Poetry: Between Image And Performance -- A Cultural Analysis, Jan Baetens, Jan Van Looy Jan 2008

E-Poetry: Between Image And Performance -- A Cultural Analysis, Jan Baetens, Jan Van Looy

The Journal of e-Media Studies

By establishing an opposition between two ways of studying e-poetry: the patrimonial stance, which historicizes and canonizes a corpus and the cultural stance, which discusses e-poetry in its social context, the article makes a plea for a broad, cultural approach to electronic reading and writing. This approach defines e-poetry in terms of performance, placing a strong emphasis on the mediated and often networked environment in which e-poetry creation and reception take place. The close reading of two examples by Pierre Alferi and Eric Sadin, two prominent authors of electronic literature in France, further illustrates the idea of writing and reading …


Exposé Of Polygamy: A Lady's Life Among The Mormons, Fanny Stenhouse Jan 2008

Exposé Of Polygamy: A Lady's Life Among The Mormons, Fanny Stenhouse

All USU Press Publications

After the 1872 publication of Exposé of Polygamy, Fanny Stenhouse became a celebrity in the cultural wars between Mormons and much of America. An English convert to Mormonism, she had grown disillusioned with the Mormon Church and with polygamy, which her husband practiced before associating with a circle of dissident Utah intellectua ls and merchants. Stenhouse's critique of plural marriage, Brigham Young, and Mormonism was also a sympathetic look at Utah's people and honest recounting of her life. Before long, she created a new edition, titled Tell It All, which ensured her notoriety in Utah and popularity elsewhere but turned …

Living With Stories, William Schneider

All USU Press Publications

In essays about communities as varied as Alaskan Native, East Indian, Palestinian, Mexican, and African American, oral historians, folklorists, and anthropologists look at how traditional and historical oral narratives live through re-tellings, gaining meaning and significance in repeated performances, from varying contexts, through cultural and historical knowing, and due to tellers' consciousness of their audiences.

The Montage Of Gestures, Brian Earl Longfield Jan 2008

The Montage Of Gestures, Brian Earl Longfield

Digitized Theses

Proceeding from Giorgio Agamben’s observation that gesture rather than image is the cinematic element, this paper attempts to outline the various ways gesture can operate in art. In particular, this paper examines the role of gesture in mime and cinema with respect to the writings of Bertolt Brecht, Etienne Décroux, Eugenio Barba and Jerzy Grotowski in relation to various interpretations of the role, in art, of Charles Saunders Peirce’s concept of the index, especially those of Rosalind Krauss, Michael Fried, Roland Barthes and Gilles Deleuze. From this exploration, a three-tiered approach to the use of gesture in the arts is …
