Students As Critical Media Makers: Practical Strategies For Creating Detournement With Students, Seth French Feb 2019

Students As Critical Media Makers: Practical Strategies For Creating Detournement With Students, Seth French

International Critical Media Literacy Conference (2016-2019)

In the 1950s, a European collective known as the Situationist International “developed an increasingly incisive and coherent critique of modern society and of its bureaucratic pseudo-opposition” using previously unforeseen methods of subversion (Knabb, 1989). According to Trier (2013), detournement was “the main method that the situationists developed to critique and challenge the . . . socially controlling forces” that were circulating from those in power. Put simply, detournement is a compilation of images/videos with disparate claims that, when juxtaposed against one another, create a new message with a critical orientation toward one or several of the claims within. By interacting …

Exploring Biographies Of Niitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy) Moccasins, Michaela A. Shifley Feb 2019

Exploring Biographies Of Niitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy) Moccasins, Michaela A. Shifley

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Footwear is a part of the human experience. Shoes, and moccasins more specifically, at their fundamental level, are about the relationships that form between humans and the ground that they walk on. They are representative of how humans move and interact with and within the world, and thus, moccasins’ study is critical to moving us towards an understanding of our relationships with each other and the world around us. Currently, there is more Plains Indian footwear in museum collections across the world than any other Plains Indian artifact. Yet, despite their overwhelming commonness in museum collections, as well as the …

“You Know, For A Clownfish, He Really Isn’T That Funny”: Implications Of Grief And Masculinity Through A Narrative Analysis Of Finding Nemo, Kendyl A. Barney Feb 2019

“You Know, For A Clownfish, He Really Isn’T That Funny”: Implications Of Grief And Masculinity Through A Narrative Analysis Of Finding Nemo, Kendyl A. Barney

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Cultural norms make up a dominant narrative of bereavement which assumes individuals detach from the deceased and eventually “get over” their grief, among other expectations. This narrative has yet to evolve despite recent theories that suggest grief is a lifelong experience that involves continuing bonds with the deceased (Dennis & Kunkel, 2012) and ongoing processes of meaning making (Neimeyer, Klass, & Dennis, 2014). The dominant narrative is perpetuated largely through prominent rhetoric, such as film and media. Further, the dominant narrative is gendered by appropriating expected ways of grieving to women and men. For example, emotional expressions of grief (e.g., …

Death In The Anthropocene: Coping With Loss In The Age Of Extinction And Civilizational Collapse, Jensen A. Lillquist Feb 2019

Death In The Anthropocene: Coping With Loss In The Age Of Extinction And Civilizational Collapse, Jensen A. Lillquist

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

The Anthropocene presents significant environmental problems for both humans and nonhumans alike, as both climate change and mass extinction are ongoing phenomena. While mass extinction represents the direct death and loss of multitudes of species, climate change represents the threat of death and loss to human populations. Thus, mass extinction and climate change may be termed the losses of the Anthropocene; much environmental writing voices an unprocessed grief directed towards each of these losses. Yet in order for grief to become mourning—an active response to loss—the loss must be recognized and dealt with. The example set by death practices may …

Gravy (For My Mash Potatoes): On The Cultural Reproduction Of Food And Sex, Michael E. Lipscomb Feb 2019

Gravy (For My Mash Potatoes): On The Cultural Reproduction Of Food And Sex, Michael E. Lipscomb

The World of Food: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on What We Eat and Grow

This paper addresses the metaphorical and mnemotechnical connections between food and romantic and sexual desire through a selective survey of cultural and literary productions. As the history of American popular music (Dee Dee Sharp’s “Gravy (For My Mash Potatoes)”, Willie Dixon’s/Howlin’ Wolf’s “Back Door Man,” the Archies’ and Wilson Pickett’s “Sugar, Surgar”, etc.) reveals, the metaphorical connection between food and romantic and sexual love is often deployed in the name of prevailing notions of heteronormative and patriarchal desire, reinforcing a model of romance and desire premised on a consumptive enjoyment of the other. A critical assessment of how desire is …

The Private And The Public In Carolingian Rome: The Papal Role In Feeding The City’S Poor, Dave Pretty Feb 2019

The Private And The Public In Carolingian Rome: The Papal Role In Feeding The City’S Poor, Dave Pretty

The World of Food: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on What We Eat and Grow

For close to eight hundred years, the Roman state took responsibility for feeding its capital’s poor population. With the disintegration of the empire’s institutions, this task was assumed by the city’s bishop, the pope. This paper examines the papacy’s role in provisioning the city of Rome within the context of Christian practices; the growing responsibility and pretensions of the papacy itself for the governance of Rome; and changing definitions of—and boundaries between—the public and the private in early medieval Italy. Charity was one of the seven virtues, and one whose practice was especially necessary in a city that had to …

Gastro-Geographies And The Cosmopolitan Host: Re-Mapping Cosmopolitanism In Anthony Bourdain’S Parts Unknown, Shelby E. Ward Feb 2019

Gastro-Geographies And The Cosmopolitan Host: Re-Mapping Cosmopolitanism In Anthony Bourdain’S Parts Unknown, Shelby E. Ward

The World of Food: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on What We Eat and Grow

This paper looks at Anthony Bourdain's production on screen as a cosmopolitan host and as a particular gastro-geographical narrative. With three different episodes of Parts Unknown (CNN), I investigate how Bourdain allows us to question gender roles, development discourse, and the American image through the traces of food, while at the same time being limited in his role as the cosmopolitan.

“So That Humanity Can Continue”: Indigenous Interventions With Colonial Farming Practices, Kristen Brown Feb 2019

“So That Humanity Can Continue”: Indigenous Interventions With Colonial Farming Practices, Kristen Brown

The World of Food: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on What We Eat and Grow

A Dodge Ram commercial from the 2014 Super Bowl drew criticism for its shameless pandering to middle America’s nostalgia for the family farm, a powerful memory-image embedded in the United States’ historical narrative. The domestically-inflected term “family farm,” however, elides the corporate control of agri-business and its highly raced, profit-driven global designs. The ideological underpinnings of the midwestern family farm might be traced to the late nineteenth century’s treatment of the American Indian. Erratic and subjective changes in federal policy regarding land and water use, illustrated by the Dawes Allotment Act (1887) and Winters Doctrine (1908), continue to influence questions …

Food Is Money: The Origin Of Money In The Sacrificial Meal And The Egalitarian Ideal, William Kiblinger Feb 2019

Food Is Money: The Origin Of Money In The Sacrificial Meal And The Egalitarian Ideal, William Kiblinger

The World of Food: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on What We Eat and Grow

The paper identifies the origin of money in the sacred rites of ancient cultures, specifically the sacrificial meal and the communal rituals appertaining to the distribution of its sacred power. After surveying the development of money as a form of food in various cultures, the paper then asks whether and how the sacred value of food might inform current discourse about the value of food and related moral questions about its distribution. In particular, the paper addresses a contemporary question in philosophy regarding distributive justice: what principle should we follow in distributing food—an egalitarian principle (i.e., the goal of eliminating …

The Relationship Between Media Portrayal Of Schizophrenia And Attitudes Toward Those With Schizophrenia, Julia Crant Feb 2019

The Relationship Between Media Portrayal Of Schizophrenia And Attitudes Toward Those With Schizophrenia, Julia Crant

Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences

The aim of this study was to learn whether positive media portrayals of schizophrenia affect people’s attitudes toward individuals with schizophrenia. Fifty (50) participants viewed one of two videos—either a control video showing a documentary about koalas or a treatment clip from the television show Perception that portrays a professor with schizophrenia effectively teaching a class. After viewing the video, participants rated their attitudes toward a person with schizophrenia on a dangerousness scale as well as on cognitive and behavioral attitudes scales. The participants who watched the treatment clip rated people with schizophrenia as significantly less dangerous and had significantly …

Does Money Matter? The Impact Of State Political Context On The Relationship Between Race/Ethnicity And Campaign Finance, Laura Merrifield Wilson Feb 2019

Does Money Matter? The Impact Of State Political Context On The Relationship Between Race/Ethnicity And Campaign Finance, Laura Merrifield Wilson

Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences

Despite increasing campaign-finance legislation aimed at equalizing barriers in political campaigns, a fundraising gap persists across racial/ethnic lines. In the era of modern campaigning, with the expenses of advertising and polling, among others, ample funds are necessary but not accessible to all candidates. This study addresses the relationship between candidate race/ethnicity and campaign fundraising, and the possible moderating effect of three dimensions of the state political context: state legislative professionalism, state Republican party strength, and state culture (South vs. non-South). I evaluate fundraising totals across 15 states for more than 3,000 candidates in the 2006 state legislative elections. Ultimately, the …

“Putting Money Where My Mouth Is”: Motivations And Experiences Among Food Co-Op Members, Zachary Schrank Feb 2019

“Putting Money Where My Mouth Is”: Motivations And Experiences Among Food Co-Op Members, Zachary Schrank

Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences

Of the variety of alternative grocery stores that offer natural, organic, local, and health foods in the United States, food co-ops are one of the more unique business models for alternative foods. Unlike traditional retailers, they are collectively owned and democratically operated. Prices tend to be higher in co-ops because they carry high-quality foods that are generally fresh, locally sourced, or artisanal in nature. What motivates people to join co-ops and spend more money for their membership and foods compared to other stores? This article provides ethnographic and interview data with member-owners at a relatively new co-op in South Bend, …
