The 2006-2007 task force was charged with creating a set of best practices for coding MARC 008/lang and 041 language information for videos, especially DVDs, and with using that exercise to examine whether any changes could be made to the MARC21 format (coding or directions) that would improve access to the multiple types of language information found on videos. The work of that task force resulted in a number of changes to the MARC format, which are described in appendix 1. This current document, completed by the 2012 task force, provides guidance for coding video language information using the current …
Why Clayton And Gumbel Copulas: A Symmetry-Based Explanation, Vladik Kreinovich, Hung T. Nguyen, Songsak Sriboonchitta
Why Clayton And Gumbel Copulas: A Symmetry-Based Explanation, Vladik Kreinovich, Hung T. Nguyen, Songsak Sriboonchitta
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
In econometrics, many distributions are non-Gaussian. To describe dependence between non-Gaussian variables, it is usually not sufficient to provide their correlation: it is desirable to also know the corresponding copula. There are many different families of copulas; which family shall we use? In many econometric applications, two families of copulas have been most efficient: the Clayton and the Gumbel copulas. In this paper, we provide a theoretical explanation for this empirical efficiency, by showing that these copulas naturally follow from reasonable symmetry assumptions. This symmetry justification also allows us to provide recommendations about which families of copulas we should use …
Do Investment Treaties Prescribe A Deferential Standard Of Review, Anna T. Katselas
Do Investment Treaties Prescribe A Deferential Standard Of Review, Anna T. Katselas
Michigan Journal of International Law
The dramatic rise in foreign investment in recent decades has brought with it a corresponding increase in the number of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and, in turn, the number of international investment disputes arising under those treaties. Investment treaty arbitration is the predominant method used to settle those disputes and has certain advantages for both foreign investors and host states compared to available alternatives, but it can tread on delicate issues typically within the domaine rieservd of states. The concern about due regard for sovereign interests in this context is far from purely academic. In the past twenty years, the …

Embroidered Politics: A Case Study Between Al-Andalus And Castilla, Miriam Ali-De-Unzaga
Embroidered Politics: A Case Study Between Al-Andalus And Castilla, Miriam Ali-De-Unzaga
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
A magnificent embroidered tunic was found in 1968 at the Monastery of OÒa in Burgos, Spain (one of the richest and most influential monasteries during the Iberian Medieval period). The significance and great value of this embroidery, produced in al-Andalus, is threefold: 1) Its high material value: made of silk and gold of extremely high quality. 2) Its visual value, which includes Arabic inscriptions (eulogies and qur'anic verses) and the iconography of a royal figure and sixty-six animals. 3) Its historical value: used and reused by Andalusi and Castilian rulers, the embroidery is an unexpected witness of the political relationships …

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
The indigenous political structure among the Yoruba is pyramidal with the traditional, divine, paramount ruler at the peak. Though the attainment of this apogee is monarchical and hereditary among this tribe, textile is used as a distinguishing factor for those on different rungs of this political ladder, with the overall ruler traditionally expected to be the wealthiest and most elaborately dressed. The success of any ruler's reign is not only measured by how peaceful his reign was, but also by how comfortable his subjects were under his rule. Next to food, their comfortability is gauged by the number and quality …
Object Based Research: A Q’Ing Vest, Hilary Baker
Object Based Research: A Q’Ing Vest, Hilary Baker
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
The Q'ing dynasty of China held its position of power from 1644-1911. Towards the end of their reign, the practice of selling ranks to citizens became commonplace in order to help fund the failing dynasty. The University of Rhode Island acquired a Q'ing dynasty vest (accession number 90.01.11), which is presumably a female's piece of dress dating from the late nineteenth century. This vest is missing the rank badge that would normally be positioned on the front and back of the vest. Because the rank badge is missing, this paper will focus on the embroidery surrounding the empty space to …
Thomas Jefferson’S Blue Coat: Style, Substance And Circumstance, Joshua Bond
Thomas Jefferson’S Blue Coat: Style, Substance And Circumstance, Joshua Bond
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
Thomas Jefferson is arguably the most highly regarded and studied revolutionary and post-revolutionary politician after Washington himself. And as with politicians today, Jefferson had both a private persona and a well-crafted public image. This public image is encapsulated in his writings and the many portraits for which he sat: dressed and posed in a manner intended to impress for both his contemporary audience and for posterity. However, in the absence of modern audio, photographic, and video recording technologies, we have much less insight into the life of Jefferson the private citizen, particularly after his time serving as President. In this …
Knitting A New World, Carrie Brezine
Knitting A New World, Carrie Brezine
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
Although pre-historic Andean textile artists explored almost every textile structure ever invented, knitting was unknown in the Pre-Columbian Andes. Recent excavations at the colonial town of Magdalena de Cao Viejo on the north coast of Peru have uncovered what may be the earliest surviving examples of knitting in the Americas (see image). Along with disease, bureaucracy, Catholicism, violence, and other effects of colonization, the technique of knitting was imported to South America after the Spanish Conquest in 1532 and was adopted and adapted by indigenous Andeans. The discovery of early New World knitting, exciting enough in itself, inspires further questions …

Building On The Past, Making The Future, Stephanie Bunn
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
Kyrgyzstan has experienced extreme political and economic disruption since independence, most notably economic collapse and two subsequent revolutions. In the Soviet era, women's domestic textile practices, especially felt-making, continued, albeit less frequently than prior to the Russian conquest. During my first fieldwork in the early 1990's, felt was largely made at home. Most often it was found in the homes of people's grandmothers, although younger women did still make felt shyrdaks to give to daughters for weddings. Great experts were feted by Soviet officials, given medals, and work was sold in tourist shops, but in general, all textile arts were …
The Chilean Arpilleristas: Changing National Politics Through Tapestry Work, Dayna L. Caldwell
The Chilean Arpilleristas: Changing National Politics Through Tapestry Work, Dayna L. Caldwell
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
At present, a popular opinion maintains that the education of women in developing countries benefits a society's economic and social development and improves individuals' well-being. Economic studies and statistics have proven this idea to be true, however there are other processes by which women attain a higher quality of living without becoming educated. It can even be said that uneducated women have the ability to change a nation's political system. Although this scenario is unlikely, it is not altogether hypothetical and its occurrence is well documented in history. During the Pinochet dictatorship (1973-1989), the Chilean arpilleristas combined their collective memories …
The Politics Of Purple: Dyes From Shellfish And Lichens, Karen Diadick Casselman, Takako Terada
The Politics Of Purple: Dyes From Shellfish And Lichens, Karen Diadick Casselman, Takako Terada
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
Dyes from shellfish ('murex') and lichens ('orchil') originated before 1000 BCE. Murex and orchil became symbolic of Roman privilege. Purple also attained iconic value as an emblem of wealth and power. Politics played a role in dye manufacture, as witness the male-dominated purple dye works which were later 'invaded' by female workers. This present study investigates these political issues by replicating the actual murex and orchil method. As we are a female team, our work here confronts references to so-called secret methods which women were (according to earlier historians) unlikely to grasp. Experiments undertaken by our Japanese- Canadian team have …
Uncut: The Materiality Of Textiles And The Politics Of Sustainment In Fashionable Clothing, Hazel Clark
Uncut: The Materiality Of Textiles And The Politics Of Sustainment In Fashionable Clothing, Hazel Clark
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
Uncut: The materiality of textiles and the politics of sustainment in fashionable clothing In the contemporary world, where visual communication gains greater authority, human beings are becoming more detached from the materiality of their clothing. Fashionable garments in particular are promoted, sold and bought on how they look, not what they are made of. Arguably this encourages the excessive waste that surrounds fashion, where clothes become relegated to the status of mere perishables. In production, similarly, an estimated 15% of the fabric used to create a piece of clothing ends up in a landfill. This paper examines this situation conceptually …
From Silk Road To Cotton Field: Weaving Uzbek Identity, Mary Elizabeth Corrigan
From Silk Road To Cotton Field: Weaving Uzbek Identity, Mary Elizabeth Corrigan
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
Beginning any research project necessitates casting a large net. The language used by an object's creators, scholars, collectors and critics must be analyzed with an eye to Bourdieu's observation that classifications can be used to study the classifiers and the classified. Through the analysis of an early twentieth-century men's silk and cotton ikat robe from the present-day Republic of Uzbekistan, this research draws together seemingly unrelated threads. Threads backward through time situate the robe as part of the Silk Road; other threads connect current media attention to the Uzbek cotton industry and labor practices. Ikat fabrics are currently mass-produced in …
Textiles Of War: Women’S Commentaries On Conflict In Iraq And Afghanistan, Deborah A. Deacon
Textiles Of War: Women’S Commentaries On Conflict In Iraq And Afghanistan, Deborah A. Deacon
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
Textiles of War: Women's Commentaries on Conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan Shortly after the events of September 11, 2001, patriotic imagery in the form of American flags began appearing in traditionally patterned rugs woven by Navajo women and beadwork sold on the reservation. This was not the first time women's textiles provided a political commentary on the destruction resulting from warfare. During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989, rugs featuring Soviet weaponry and vehicles appeared in the markets of Peshawar. Created by nomadic Beluch women who experienced the impact of war first-hand, the war rugs helped the …
Can We Study Textiles From Other Cultures Without Ethnocentrism? The Andes As A Case Study, Sophie Desrosiers
Can We Study Textiles From Other Cultures Without Ethnocentrism? The Andes As A Case Study, Sophie Desrosiers
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
The Andes as Case Study Textile studies look like a field where the materiality of the objects cannot allow us a distorted view. Nevertheless, the textile education we received, and some methods and tools we use, sometimes impede us from seeing and understanding what is under our eyes. In some ways, we are not fully ready to recognize the originality and achievement of Andean weavers' thoughts, a question which is as political, as it is scientific. One example is the importance given in Western culture to the direction of the warp to indicate the orientation of tapestries. As long as …
Luxurious Merovingian Textiles Excavated From Burials In The Saint Denis Basilica, France In The 6th-7th Century, Sophie Desrosiers, Antoinette Rast-Eicher
Luxurious Merovingian Textiles Excavated From Burials In The Saint Denis Basilica, France In The 6th-7th Century, Sophie Desrosiers, Antoinette Rast-Eicher
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
A new examination of the textile fragments found in the Merovingian burials in the basilica of Saint Denis, near Paris, has recently underscored the diversity of fabrics used to make garments in which members of the royal court were buried. Among them, some woolens of fine quality had been dyed with indigotin. The most astonishing fibre found belongs to a mixed textile (not skin) with beaver fibers and wool. Silks contained shellfish purple and in one case kermes? Two dyestuffs associated with royalty and privilege. Along with this was large number of gold threads, probably produced locally and that were …
Harriet Joor’S Needlework And Stenciled Textile Designs: Pursuing The Arts And Crafts Ideal, One Stitch At A Time, Maggie Dimock
Harriet Joor’S Needlework And Stenciled Textile Designs: Pursuing The Arts And Crafts Ideal, One Stitch At A Time, Maggie Dimock
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
Although not as consistently well-preserved or heavily studied as furniture, pottery and other decorative items of their era, American Arts and Crafts textiles from the first decades of the twentieth century were often less expensive and more readily attainable than other home furnishings of the same style. These textiles offered middle-class Americans an opportunity to incorporate the Arts and Crafts aesthetic into their homes. As this paper will show, artist and designer Harriet Coulter Joor (1875-1965) not only helped to establish the prevailing stylistic conventions of Arts and Crafts textiles in the United States, she also encouraged American women to …
Congressional Campaign Ribbons, Farar Elliott
Congressional Campaign Ribbons, Farar Elliott
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
Many textiles survive from presidential campaigns of the 19th and 20th centuries. Far fewer from congressional campaigns are extant. This paper will present a survey of campaign ribbons in the collection of the U.S. House of Representatives, and the use of textiles in 19th century congressional campaigns. Discussion of the role of ribbons in political campaigns, particularly as they relate to the more durable campaign buttons and pinbacks, will be pursued. Iconography and text commonly used in ribbons will also be discussed, as well as proposed reasons for their greater prevalence in national campaigns.
Provenance: The Story Of A Textile And Its Journey To The Slave Quarters, Susan Falls, Jessica Smith
Provenance: The Story Of A Textile And Its Journey To The Slave Quarters, Susan Falls, Jessica Smith
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
In the decades preceding the civil war, coverlets became popular in white rural American households, often woven by itinerate professional male weavers at the specification of women for use in their homes; these coverlets represent a distinctly American tradition that reflects a rich legacy of Folk textiles. There is a curious set of these coverlets from the well-documented Acacia Collection on exhibit at the Telfair Museum of Art's Owens Thomas House Slave Quarters in Savannah, GA. These textiles are particularly interesting not because of their uniqueness within American textile production in the first half of the 19th century, but because …
Ancient Designs For The Modern Era: Artists Interpret Andean Textiles, Blenda Femenías
Ancient Designs For The Modern Era: Artists Interpret Andean Textiles, Blenda Femenías
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
Artistic re-interpretation of the works of earlier centuries has become a mainstay of modern design. Textiles bearing Andean designs that appeared on pre-Columbian objects and the products of contemporary weavers using motifs from their own cultural traditions are well represented among cloth items used and marketed in Peru today. Only 150 years ago, however, pre-Columbian Andean textiles were little known. In the early twentieth century, knowledge of indigenous American cultures increased rapidly as archaeologists excavated previously unimagined cultural riches. Simultaneously, the international modernist movement toward streamlined design pushed artists and designers to seek inspirations for their bold new efforts. Especially …
Political Intentions Of Chinese Textiles In Portuguese Sacred, Solemn, Celebratory Events Of The16th - 18th Centuries, Maria João Pacheco Ferreira
Political Intentions Of Chinese Textiles In Portuguese Sacred, Solemn, Celebratory Events Of The16th - 18th Centuries, Maria João Pacheco Ferreira
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
Among the many goods that offer visible testimony of the transmission of Asian material culture westwards, as a result of the Portuguese Overseas Expansion, Chinese textiles deserve special attention. Made entirely of silk and following Chinese designs, or adapted to Portuguese taste, these textiles began reaching by Portugal by way of Guangzhou and Macau, from at least 1557, and quickly became part of the decorative displays conceived for extraordinary sacred events performed in Portugal until the 18th century. Careful analysis of contemporary printed texts describing these ceremonies reveals how textiles were intensely used in church decoration programs. Chinese textiles, although …
