Avoiding The Peep Show: Talking From Within The Tattoo Community, Rhonda Dass
Avoiding The Peep Show: Talking From Within The Tattoo Community, Rhonda Dass
Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture
Within the tattoo community in the United States, and specifically within the tattoo artist community, the historic legacy of the commodification of tattooed individuals has created a strong reaction against the idea that they influence people in choosing to be tattooed. The narratives of capture and forced tattooing vilified the people doing the tattooing not those receiving the tattoos. While the carnival barkers were not identifying American citizens as the "barbarians" that would inflict ink on an unwilling person, the association nonetheless came to be. To distance themselves from the image of the "savage tattooer", the tattoo artist community has …
Reading Between The Lines: Understanding Assistants In Fieldwork, Rina Sherman
Reading Between The Lines: Understanding Assistants In Fieldwork, Rina Sherman
Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture
In this presentation I will look at the various levels of interaction between the three agents, the researcher, the assistant and members of the community within which research is being conducted within the context of my fieldwork amongst the Ovahimba people over a period of seven years. The potential interaction between these three agents are manifold and can be questioned in a number of ways, of which: What the researcher wants, what the assistant thinks the researcher wants, what the assistant wants in terms of his or her respective relationships with the researcher and members of the community, what members …
Outsourcing Sacrifice: The Labor Of Private Military Contractors, Mateo Taussig-Rubbo
Outsourcing Sacrifice: The Labor Of Private Military Contractors, Mateo Taussig-Rubbo
Journal Articles
Numerous scandals arising from the United States government’s increased use of armed private military contractors have drawn attention to the contractors’ legally ill-defined position. But the complexity of the contractors’ relation to various bodies of law and doctrine — including military law, international law, state tort law, employment law, and sovereign immunity — is not the only salient issue. The contractors are also awkwardly positioned in relation to the traditional understanding of sacrifice, which has structured Americans’ imaginings about those who kill and are killed on behalf of the nation. This Article examines the contractors’ relation to the tradition of …
Searching For Conscientização: Mentoring Fieldwork In International Service-Learning, Lauren Jones, Jonathan Arries
Searching For Conscientização: Mentoring Fieldwork In International Service-Learning, Lauren Jones, Jonathan Arries
Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture
The article discusses the methodology of the College of William and Mary's Modern Language and Literature's Summer Institute in Nicaragua, a service-learning course designed for current and prospective teachers of English as a Second or Foreign Language. The leaders of the course were a doctoral student in Social Sciences and Comparative Education and an associate professor in Hispanic Studies with a doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. The multidisciplinary training of the course leaders and Paulo Freire's concept of conscientização informed both the academic content of the three-week course and their process approach to mentoring students' independence as they conducted their …
The Memory Archive: Filmic Collaborations In Art And Anthropology, Alyssa Grossman, Selena Kimball
The Memory Archive: Filmic Collaborations In Art And Anthropology, Alyssa Grossman, Selena Kimball
Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture
This paper forms the space for dialogue between a social anthropologist (Grossman) and a visual artist (Kimball), who have been collaborating on installations and films throughout the past decade. Our most recent films, including Into the Field (2005), and Objects of Memory (in progress) are shot on location in Grossman’s fieldwork sites in Romania, and incorporate sequences of stop-motion animation by Kimball. These films explore and question the conventional boundaries between art and anthropology. In this article, we examine the process of filming collaboratively in the field, and discuss the challenges and transformations we each undergo through sharing the literal …
Practice In Mediated Space: Engaging 'Hobbiton' And Its Visitors Through A Constructivist Media Anthropology, Robert Moses Peaslee
Practice In Mediated Space: Engaging 'Hobbiton' And Its Visitors Through A Constructivist Media Anthropology, Robert Moses Peaslee
Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture
This paper calls for a (re)emphasis in site-specific, open-ended investigation of individual experience as a viable and valuable strategy across disciplines of the social sciences and the humanities, especially in the face of ongoing trends toward globality, hybridization, convergence, and destabilization of symbolic and material culture. The paper is particularly interested in reporting on the application of such methodologies toward investigating the media-tourism complex, a constellation of government, industrial, and personal activity which relies on globally mediated conceptions of place and practice and which represents a dynamic and ever-present field of symbolic and actual capital within which consumers operate and …

Below is an analysis of the most prevalent research conducted using Bandura' s concept of self-efficacy. Discussed is a brief overview of the theoretical advances and various dimensions included in self-efficacy. Following this is a study based on an innovative aspect of self-efficacy in the youth development field, the concept of youth worker efficacy. This study analyzes youth workers in a not-for-profit youth development setting in Iowa. The study focuses on the variables of gender, age, experience, previous training in the field …
From Sputnik To Minerva: Education And American National Security, Sean Kay
From Sputnik To Minerva: Education And American National Security, Sean Kay
Defense Horizons
This paper examines how external challenges have prompted national investments in education to enhance American national security. Rather than focusing primarily on traditional professional military education, this analysis examines how education has been used as a tool of American power. Four major moments of transformation in the international system are surveyed to illustrate a link between strategic educational capacity, defined as the application of attained knowledge and skills, and national power. The study then assesses how education is used as a power asset in the contemporary security environment. Today, an important educational capacity is emerging in the new Minerva program …
Bisexuals Need Not Apply: A Comparative Appraisal Of Refugee Law And Policy In Canada, The United States, And Australia, Sean Rehaag
Articles & Book Chapters
This paper offers an analysis of refugee claims on grounds of bisexuality. After discussing the grounds on which sexual minorities may qualify for refugee status under international refugee law, the paper empirically assesses the success rates of bisexual refugee claimants in three major host states: Canada, the United States, and Australia. It concludes that bisexuals are significantly less successful than other sexual minority groups in obtaining refugee status in those countries. Through an examination of selected published decisions involving bisexual refugee claimants, the author identifies two main areas for concern that may partly account for the difficulties that bisexual refugee …

Blood Culture And The Problem Of Decadence, Jeffrey P. Cain
Blood Culture And The Problem Of Decadence, Jeffrey P. Cain
English Faculty Publications
This paper examines the commodification of hunting practices via the deterritorializing function of capitalism described by Deleuze and Guattari. It also studies counter trends-- predicted by or consistent with Deleuzean theory--that indicate a subtending authenticity displayed by certain hunting practices apparently resistant to commercial exploitation. "Blood culture" is my term for inauthentic hunting activity--a distinction drawn directly by Deleuze in his televised interviews with Claire Parnet. Aspects of "becoming-animal" and other transversal and cross-disciplinary flows of thought are also of course in play. As in some of my former work, I again argue for a Deleuzean cultural mechanics of the …
Framing Graffiti: Walls As Sites/Sights Of Resistance To The Regulation Of Public Space, Alexa Anderson
Framing Graffiti: Walls As Sites/Sights Of Resistance To The Regulation Of Public Space, Alexa Anderson
Theses & ETDs
In this paper I explore the extent to which contemporary urban graffiti can serve as a form of resistance to an ideology that excludes some people from participation in the public sphere. Using a theoretical framework drawn from Jurgen Habermas, Don Mitchell, and Richard Freeman, I explain how visual interruptions to the normal order of the city may serve to open up public spaces as sites of discourse and dissent. Specifically, I analyze the implications of the larger-than-life characters who play major roles in the New Orleans staging of this conflict: international graffiti artist Banksy, infamous anti-graffiti vigilante the Gray …

Edward I And The Appropriation Of Arthurian Legend, Rachealle Marie Sanford
Edward I And The Appropriation Of Arthurian Legend, Rachealle Marie Sanford
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
In recent years, an increasing interest in the appropriation of folklore by political leaders has led scholars to investigate potential instances where this may have occurred in the past. This work follows that tradition, examining the life and actions of King Edward I of England to determine if there are instances where he is making deliberate use of folk narrative for his own political aims. An analysis of several events discussed by past historians indicates that the king was intentionally manipulating the Arthurian legend, which was highly popular in Europe during the thirteenth century, to justify his claims to authority …
These Savages Are Called The Natchez: Violence As Exchange And Expression In Natchez-French Relations, Kathrine Seyfried
These Savages Are Called The Natchez: Violence As Exchange And Expression In Natchez-French Relations, Kathrine Seyfried
LSU Master's Theses
Culture contact in colonial North America sometimes led to violent interactions. The continent during colonization contained two very different populations. Native Americans and Europeans occupied the same space and necessarily developed unique relationships. Each had to maneuver around the other to forge careful and productive bonds. When they could not, conflict arose; sometimes as war, sometimes as stealing or raiding. During their brief relationship, the Natchez Indians and French colonists in Louisiana engaged in several wars. Those wars revealed various elements of each culture. In 1716 Natchez warriors responded to a French diplomatic insult by killing French fur traders travelling …
Estimating Age At Death By Examining The Crystallite Size Of Hydroxylapatite In Human Teeth, Teresa Veronica Wilson
Estimating Age At Death By Examining The Crystallite Size Of Hydroxylapatite In Human Teeth, Teresa Veronica Wilson
LSU Master's Theses
Estimation of age is an important component of the biological profile that forensic anthropologists construct in order to attain a positive identification of a deceased individual. This research is a proof of concept study for the use of X-ray diffraction (XRD) on a tooth sample to estimate age. Previous research (Meneghini et al. 2003; Hanschin and Stern 1992) has concluded that the crystallite size of bone will increase with increased age. The feasibility of the use of teeth in XRD analysis was first tested using pig teeth (samples P1, P2, and P3). Another set of pig teeth (PC1, PC2, and …
The Context And Function Of Four Exceptions To Effigial Wall Tomb Patronage In Quattrocento Florence, Katy Gail Richardson
The Context And Function Of Four Exceptions To Effigial Wall Tomb Patronage In Quattrocento Florence, Katy Gail Richardson
LSU Master's Theses
Entitlement to burial in a wall tomb with sculpted effigy, the Florentine tomb-type above all others in honor and prestige, belonged solely to members of the ecclesiastical elite throughout the Trecento and into the Quattrocento, but that changed in the mid-1440s with the inclusion of the most illustrious laymen among those memorialized by this type of monument. This modification of patronage, however, does not signify a major reform that allowed unmitigated access to the tomb-type for all laymen of high repute. On the contrary, eighteen of the twenty-two known effigial wall tombs erected in Florence in the fourteenth and fifteenth …
