Wòlak-Waliké Jaman; Exploring Contemporary Walikan In Public Space, Nurenzia Yannuar

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

This article describes the current use of Walikan, a youth language in Malang, Indonesia. Unlike any previously described youth registers in Indonesia, Walikan has been around since as early as the 1940s and has continuously reinvented itself ever since. As will be shown, the speakers of Walikan have certain strategies to keep the practice alive. In addition to the use of Walikan in face-to-face communication, they also use Walikan in songs, local TV news, local newspaper columns as well as in public signs. The analysis focuses on how a youth language which began as an oral practice has been maintained …

Akulturasi Dalam Turisme Di Hindia Belanda, R Achmad Sunjayadi

Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya

As a form of cultural process, acculturation serves as an important factor in tourism. Usually, the hosts borrow the results of acculturation generated from tourism activities more than the tourists or guests do. Acculturation in tourism occurs not only in tourism practices today, but also in those in the past, including the tourism practices in Indonesia during the Dutch colonial era. This article discusses acculturation which became part of tourism activities in the Dutch East Indies by applying historical methods and Nunez’s concept of acculturation in tourism. By using guidebooks, newspapers, magazines, postcards, photographs, and travelogues as data sources, this …

Queering Latinidad: Latinx Politics Beyond Nativity, Melina Juarez

Political Science ETDs

Much debate surrounds the emergence of the term "Latinx." While some have argued against its usage, others have deeply embraced it as a way of representing the gender diversity found within the Latina/o community. Yet, these arguments do not transcend the boundaries of gender to include other facets of identity subverted within the concept of Latinidad. This project seeks to extend the boundaries of Latinx to include other areas of identity that are inherent parts of being a Latino in the United States, including sexuality, African roots, indigeneity, among others. This dissertation seeks to understand whether our rigid conceptualization of …

Exploring Literature For Conceptualisations Of Male Infertility: A Phenomenological Analysis, Sunu C. Thomas

The Qualitative Report

Fathering a child is an important aspect of the identity of a man as motherhood is for a woman. Male factor infertility is one reason for the inability to father a child and this can contribute to many issues for a man at a personal or societal level. Although male infertility is a major contributing factor for the overall infertility for couples, our understanding of it is minimal. The objective of this exercise is to describe the meanings that men attach to their inability to reproduce and the conceptualisations of male infertility. A phenomenological approach has been used to analyse …

The What, Where, How And Why: A Review Of Being Ethnographic: A Guide To The Theory And Practice Of Ethnography, Jetlexis Carlos

The Qualitative Report

In Being Ethnographic: A Guide to the Theory and Practice of Ethnography, Raymond Madden presents ethnography in a way that is easily understood by describing real life experiences from both his own work and others working in the field. This book is a great resource to guide those who wish to conduct ethnographic research or need a learning tool to understand the underlying nature of ethnographic research. Madden links the way ethnographic research is done to how ethnographic research is thought about. It is a great introduction to the “what,” “where,” “how,” and “why” of practicing of ethnography.

Rocky Mountain High: An Investigation Of Downhill Snowspnorts And Marijuana Use, Silas Phillips

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

What comes to mind when you imagine a ‘stoner?’ Most stereotype the term– some couch-bound, chip-munching slouch with a foggy gaze (and perhaps a goofy grin). Marijuana and its chemical effects hold an increasing presence in American minds. With full legalization of recreational use in 8 states and various degrees of medical legality in 18 others, the substance is caught up in a cultural shift. Our society is tackling the ethicality of marijuana, and the stigmas built around the drug are changing. What was once cited for ‘reefer madness’ is becoming (to some) a medical treatment, or just another way …

Ethnomusicology Collection At The University Of Montana’S Anthropological Collections Facility (Umacf), Rachel A. Steffen

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

Since 1959, the University of Montana Anthropological Collection Facility (UMACF) has housed an extensive ethnomusicology collection, donated by cultural anthropologist Alan P. Merriam (1923-1980). My Senior Honors Research Project was to inventory the collection of 2,300 78 RPM records, as well as conduct historical background research. My project was also for the purpose of writing grants which would be used to purchase materials that would aid in the preservation, digitization, and cataloging of the collection. The inventory was conducted through examining each item and recording the pertinent information from each disk into an Excel spreadsheet. This information allows the correlation …

The Identification Of 'Mystery' Seeds From Bridge River, Bc, Lauren T. Clark

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

Housepit 54 is a long-lived pithouse that forms part of the ancient Bridge River village in the Mid-Fraser region of southern British Columbia, Canada. It was one of over eighty pithouses in a village occupied intermittently for over a millennia by the ancestors of the Upper St’át’imc people. Prior to the gold rush, the St’át’imc, a group of complex hunter-fisher-gathers, also cultivated plants that were indigenous to this region. Present at the site are “mystery” seeds of an unknown species, which is both ubiquitous and abundant in the archaeobotanical assemblages from the floors of Housepit 54 (Lyons et al 2017), …

Dna Extraction And Analysis Of Bone Samples From The Orton Quarry Ossuary, Paige N. Plattner

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

The Orton Quarry site (36ER243) is a Late Prehistoric ossuary along the coast of Lake Erie in northwestern Pennsylvania. In March 1991, heavy-equipment operators accidentally exposed and destroyed approximately two-thirds of the original ossuary, leaving only the eastern third intact. Due to a personal interest in ossuaries an extensive literature search and personal communication with a one of the lead archeologists from the site was conducted. It was discovered that very little had been published on the site’s importance or its original inhabitants. One of the primary objectives of this project is to change that. By extracting and analyzing the …

Suprasegmental Production By American Learners Of Japanese: A Phonetic Investigation, Yuna Hiranuma

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

This research examines second language acquisition (SLA) of English speakers learning Japanese by investigating how acoustic features of the first language influence the learners’ pronunciation. According to the theoretical notion of language transfer in SLA, linguistic features of learners’ first language emerge in their pronunciation of second language (Saville-Troike, 2006). Linguistic features concerned here are phonetic elements of word prominence (strongest part of a word). Beckman (1984; 1989) claims that English is considered a stress-accent language in which prominence is indicated by the combination of pitch and loudness, whereas Japanese is a pitch-accent language in which prominence is solely indicated …

Scraping Away At The Past: Extracting Ancient Dna From Stone Tools, Mckenzie L. Morgan

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

This research project seeks to explain the use of lithics found at the Bridge River site in British Columbia through the extraction and analysis of ancient DNA (aDNA) found on the surface of stone tools. The methods used for extraction were nondestructive. Using sonication to release the trapped aDNA from microcracks on the tool’s surface, and the amplification of mitochondrial DNA regions Cytochrome B and 16S in order to determine what species the tools were used to process. The findings of this project have the potential to further refine the extraction process for ancient DNA present on lithic material, as …

Language In Totalistic Social Groups, Emily H. Allen

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

A totalistic social group is defined as a collection of individuals who share similar values and goals and who live together within intensive boundaries enforced by the group’s leadership and/or members themselves (Lifton 1969). The focus of this project is to better understand the effect of language on (I) a totalistic group’s social structure and (II) the ideologies and actions of members. The limited linguistic research on totalistic groups claims that leaders and members use language in order to enforce rules and beliefs, encourage conformity, and maintain as well as increase membership. By examining language practices in the US military, …

How Wolves Turned Into Dogs And How Dogs Are Valuable In Meeting Human Social Needs, Kurt Kotrschal

People and Animals: The International Journal of Research and Practice

A wealth of recent behavioral, neurobiological, and genetic results allows us to draw a new, comprehensive picture of the human-wolf- dog relationship. Dogs originated from wolves 35,000 years ago, mainly via selection for tameness. Wolves were probably spiritual partners and hunting buddies of Paleolithic hunter-gatherers over wide areas of Eurasia. Coming together and staying together was probably facilitated by the close ecological and social match between wolves and humans. Both are cursorial hunters and scavengers living in cooperative but relatively closed family groups, which selected for very similar mentalities.

Parallel selection for tameness (i.e., being “nice”) in dogs and humans …

Impacts Of Resource Fluctuations And Recurrent Tsunamis On The Occupational History Of Čḯxwicən, A Salishan Village On The Southern Shore Of The Strait Of Juan De Fuca, Washington State, U.S.A., Ian Hutchinson, Virginia L. Butler, Sarah K. Campbell, Sarah L. Sterling, Michael A. Etnier, Kristine M. Bovy

Sociology and Anthropology Faculty Publications

A summed probability density function (spdf), generated from the catalog of 101 radiocarbon ages on wood and charcoal from the Čḯxwicən archaeological site (Washington State, USA), serves as a proxy for the site's occupational history over the last 2500 years. Significant differences between spdfs derived from a null model of population growth (a bootstrapped logistic equation) and the observed index suggest relatively less cultural activity at Čḯxwicən between about 1950–1750 cal BP, 1150–950 cal BP, and 650 to 550 cal BP; and increased activity between about 1350–1250 cal BP and 550–500 cal BP. Peaks in the Čḯxwicən spdf are closely …

Abroad Perspective: Conceptualizing The Relationship Between Language And Identity, Rita Louise Ewing

Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD

In the field of migration studies, research on transnationalism has been well established. By applying an intersectional framework of post-colonial narrative and sociolinguistics to research on transnational migration, this research allows us to better understand how the transnational immigrant deploys language. Through a nostalgia studies approach, this study is able to analyze how transnational immigrants place value on their heritage and second languages, and reflexively deploy their language sets to reflect their unique positionality. This paper is a case study examination of five adult members of the 1.5-Generation of Filipino American immigrants, who immigrated to the U.S. before the age …

Experiencing Porcelain As A Landscape, P Davis

School of Art, Design and Architecture

In the late eighteenth century, the Plymouth Porcelain Factory produced sets of figures designed to represent what were then known as the four Continents: Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. As objects of middle-class consumption, they were designed not only to represent current ideas about the qualities of these continents, but also to allow consumers to have a relationship with places of which they had no first-hand knowledge, creating a geographical experience. Taking the historical nature of these figurines into consideration, this research considers whether it is possible to co-opt such artefacts into a twenty-first century geographical experience. Using a …

"I'Ve Had A Bully Good Feed!” And “I'M Waiting In The Bread Line For Mine!": The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Food Donations And Jewish American Identity During And After World War I, Taylor Dwyer

Voces Novae

During World War I, American Jews of different religious practices and economic standing found a common point of interest in international aid through the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC). The JDC’s fundraising tactics specifically demonstrated an attempt to combine American patriotism and Jewish philanthropy. Food in the context of World War I symbolized not only sustenance for European Jewry, but was utilized as a tool to negotiate religious and cultural identity. Gift-giving in the form of Jewish war relief during World War I, thus can be analyzed an expression of American Jewish exceptionalism.
