RACISM IN YOUR LIFE

The depth, impact, and experience of “racism” in our personal lives is a story that we do not often tell. These are predominantly private matters, only occasionally shared and with only certain people in our lives. Unfortunately, many people in our world are unaware of its full existence and do not know the truth about the experiences of racism in our daily lives. Without knowledge of these truths, society, including university leadership, cannot make adequate advancements to address these demoralizing experiences of people of color. In this anthology, writings on this subject will bring clarity, truth, …


Commedia Dell’Arte: The Mechanisms Of Othering, Olly Crick Jan 2023

Commedia Dell’Arte: The Mechanisms Of Othering, Olly Crick

Representing Alterity through Puppetry and Performing Objects

This chapter proposes that the dramaturgic flexibility within historical Commedia dell’Arte was predicated on a performance methodology that demanded a changing pattern of othering, depending on the class, economic strength and region of their audiences.


Always Busy Somewhere: Cooper Crafts An Entrée For The Other, Paulette Richards Jan 2023

Always Busy Somewhere: Cooper Crafts An Entrée For The Other, Paulette Richards

Representing Alterity through Puppetry and Performing Objects

African American ventriloquist John W . Cooper toured for a time with Richards and Pringle’s Famous Georgia Minstrels, but did not appear in blackface. Instead he used figures to get audiences to recognize the humanity and agency of a Black man.


Matter’S “Dark” Powers: Performing Objects And Racialization In Nineteenth-Century American Spiritualism, Hazel Rickards Jan 2023

Matter’S “Dark” Powers: Performing Objects And Racialization In Nineteenth-Century American Spiritualism, Hazel Rickards

Representing Alterity through Puppetry and Performing Objects

In this article, I analyze performing objects that were attributed to the agency of Black spirits within the 19th-century American spiritualist movement, exposing how white, female spirit mediums supported and tested a racial metaphysics that assumed white transcendence and Black materiality.


Exhibiting Blackface Puppets From The German Imaginary, William T.F. Condee Jan 2023

Exhibiting Blackface Puppets From The German Imaginary, William T.F. Condee

Representing Alterity through Puppetry and Performing Objects

German puppet collections face the problem of how—and whether—to display their extensive holdings of blackface puppets that are built on grotesquely racist stereotypes, including the Imagined Turk, the Imagined African, the Imagined African American, and the Imagined Multicultural German.


Puppetry For A Total War: French And German Puppet Plays In World War I, Didier Plassard Jan 2023

Puppetry For A Total War: French And German Puppet Plays In World War I, Didier Plassard

Representing Alterity through Puppetry and Performing Objects

Comparing German, Austrian and French puppet repertoires composed during or in the aftermath of WW1, this paper examines how these productions took part in the “bourrage de cranes” (brainwashing) of public opinions, instilling the hate of other nations in the minds of the youngest.


La Plástica Mesoamericana, Montserrat Camacho Ángeles Jan 2023

La Plástica Mesoamericana, Montserrat Camacho Ángeles

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Resumen: En los albores de nuestra cultura, aproximadamente hacia el 2500 a.C. surgió una civilización con grandes rostros, conformada por pueblos étnica y lingüísticamente diferentes pero unidos por una sola visión del mundo. Estos pueblos se desarrollaron en la región comprendida hoy por parte de México y América Central, caracterizados por algunos elementos culturales comunes, como el uso del calendario, el cultivo del maíz, los sacrificios humanos y un estilo artístico con rasgos únicos. Paul Kirchhoff denomina en 1943 a esta región como Mesoamérica y las culturas que en ella surgen estuvieron cimentadas fundamentalmente sobre tres bases: el sedentarismo, …


Moctezuma Entre Bambalinas, Isabel Bargalló, Montserrat Bargalló Jan 2023

Moctezuma Entre Bambalinas, Isabel Bargalló, Montserrat Bargalló

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Resumen: De los muchos personajes históricos y míticos que ha aportado América a la cultura, uno de los más conocidos y – al mismo tiempo – desconocidos es Moctezuma Xocoyotzin, el tlatoani reinante en México-Tenochtitlan a la llegada de Cortés, y es, sin duda alguna, un héroe tan digno de la lírica como Ulises, Eneas o Julio César. Por este motivo, durante el siglo xviii se compusieron un número muy importante de óperas dedicadas al soberano mexica, para un público algo cansado de los libretos relacionados con la mitología grecorromana y los dramas medievales. En este artículo presentamos una de …

Ychsma Brocades From The Vicinity Of Lima In The Time Of The Incas, Mary Frame

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Ychsma is one of the lesser-known textile styles of the central coast of Peru that date to the late periods. In this article, fragments of brocaded mantles from an Ychsma grave context, which is dated to the Late Horizon (1476-1532 A.D.) by the presence of an Inca plate, are described and illustrated. The mantles, which are characterized by certain technical features, images, colors and patterns of repetition, are used to identify further examples in museum collections. The expanded sample provides a detailed picture of one of the most spectacular types of textiles that belong to the Ychsma style, as well …

Este ensayo analiza el papel protagónico de una diosa representada en una estatua de tipo monumental procedente de la Gran Ofrenda del Montículo 2 del sitio de El Zapotal. La argumentación se funda en los datos arqueológicos, con las interpretaciones de los arqueólogos, en los aspectos señaléticos de la pieza, el tocado «en domo», la diadema con la figura parcial tridimensional –cabeza y busto– del mono araña, el artificio dorsal de cinco ramales, el ceñidor ofidio y la postura sedente, y en fuentes que reportan sobre el mono araña en las culturas prehispánicas, particularmente los referentes a las deidades madres …

Sicilian Puppet Theater: Alterity Or Diversity?, Jo Ann Cavallo Jan 2023

Sicilian Puppet Theater: Alterity Or Diversity?, Jo Ann Cavallo

Representing Alterity through Puppetry and Performing Objects

From the perspective of alterity, the predominant figure of the Other in Sicilian puppet theater is undoubtedly the Saracen (Muslim) aggressor. Yet the Paladins of France cycle, with its over 300 nightly episodes, is replete with stories that eschew an opposition between an “us” and a “them” and instead underscore our common humanity across borders of all kinds. Indeed, camaraderie, friendship, and even romance can readily develop between individuals from the most disparate corners of the globe. My paper focuses on a selection of examples under the guise of both alterity and diversity, the latter achieved especially through heterogamous marriages.


A Real American Wife, A Japanese Object: Puppetry And The Orient In Minghella’S Madam Butterfly, Tobi Poster-Su Jan 2023

A Real American Wife, A Japanese Object: Puppetry And The Orient In Minghella’S Madam Butterfly, Tobi Poster-Su

Representing Alterity through Puppetry and Performing Objects

In Anthony Minghella’s celebrated 2005 production of Madam Butterfly, three white men manipulate the small, fragile body of Sorrow (Cio-Cio-San/Butterfly’s child), and, in a dream sequence, Cio-Cio-San herself–this paper explores how the production uses puppetry to represent the racialized Other, and how this might subvert, reinforce, or make visible Orientalist views of the East within the source text.


The Other In Southeast Asian Puppetry, Kathy Foley Jan 2023

The Other In Southeast Asian Puppetry, Kathy Foley

Representing Alterity through Puppetry and Performing Objects

Southeast Asian wayang/nang talung puppetry presents the local hero as refined. Three types of “others” repeat: 1) comic foreigners, 2) Raja Sabrangan (“Overseas King”) and followers, and 3) physically deformed clown servants. The last two groups are important and may relate to Austronesian concepts of spirit siblings accompanying each person through life.

Walk To Country, Talk To Country, Anne Poelina, Sandra Wooltorton, Mindy Blaise, Len Collard Jan 2023

Walk To Country, Talk To Country, Anne Poelina, Sandra Wooltorton, Mindy Blaise, Len Collard

Nulungu Journal Articles

“It’s good to talk to Country,” says Anne Poelina, affirming that from a very early age, in the Kimberley region of northern Australia, Indigenous people are ‘taught Country’. They learn that the land is alive, that it has agency, and that it holds memories of our shared experiences, both human and other-than-human. “It’s good for your mental state to talk to Country,” Poelina continues, “to meditate on how your mind and heart, spirit and soul are aligned with the Earth on which you walk, knowing that when you walk on this Earth, the Earth can actually feel your presence, and …


Digital Archives As Socially And Civically Just Public Resources, Kent Gerber Jan 2023

Digital Archives As Socially And Civically Just Public Resources, Kent Gerber

Librarian Publications and Presentations

How can the digital humanities community ensure that its digital archives are public resources that live up to the best potential of digital humanities without repeating or perpetuating power imbalances, silences, or injustice? A framework for anti-racist action, the “ARC of racial justice,” developed by historian Jemar Tisby in his study of the complicity of the Christian church in perpetuating racism in the United States, is one way that this goal can be accomplished. The ARC is an acronym for three kinds of interrelated and interdependent kinds of actions one can take to fight racism and work for change: Awareness …

Texohtli, El Azul Maya En La Cultura Náhuatl Prehispánica: Su Identificación Y Simbolismo A Partir De La Historia Universal De Sahagún, Élodie Dupey García

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Este capítulo estudia el pigmento conocido como azul maya a partir de las fuentes históricas sobre la cultura náhuatl prehispánica, específicamente la Historia universal de las cosas de Nueva España de Bernardino de Sahagún. La obra sahaguntina posibilita la identificación del nombre del azul maya en náhuatl, al mismo tiempo que contribuye a reconstruir su simbolismo en Mesoamérica, en particular, entre los nahuas. Asimismo, el capítulo explica por qué los datos contenidos en la Historia de Sahagún sugieren que el pigmento no era producido en el Valle de México, sino que llegaba ya manufacturado a manos de los artistas nahuas. …

Cuando en 2005 se encontró la Tumba del Sacerdote Lechuza en San José de Moro (SJM), no era la primera vez que se hallaban representaciones de lechuzas entre los objetos arqueológicos recuperados en el sitio y, ni muchos menos, la primera vez que las encontrábamos en el arte mochica o el arte de la región andina en general. No obstante, significaba la primera vez que un personaje en dicho sitio aparecía con gran parte de su ajuar ligado a la figura de una de estas aves, confirmando la existencia, no solo de esas aves en el ecosistema mochica, sino también …

Este estudio trata sobre las influencias artísticas, prehispánica y colonial, que han tenido y tienen los bordadores en la creación de los diseños bordados que adornan el vestido tradicional indígena contemporáneo de los pueblos de San Pablo, de Tinta y de Marangani de la provincia de Canchis (Cuzco, Perú). El bordado con máquina (maquinasqa) apareció, posiblemente, en la primera mitad del siglo xx. Creación que es atribuida al costurero indígena sampablino Julián Choquevilca que revolucionó el vestido y el vestir femenino de estos pueblos, cambiando la historia del vestido en esta provincia. Choquevilca junto a los bordadores contemporáneos, hicieron de …

Durante los últimos años las investigaciones arqueológicas realizadas en el territorio costeño peruano han sacado a la luz distintos objetos artísticos y se han podido interpretar numerosos aspectos relativos al rol que desempeñaron las mujeres, y en particular el papel que ejercieron como mediadoras e interlocutoras en sociedades de ámbito comunitario. Algunas de estas mujeres traspasaron, mediante imágenes (pictóricas y/o escultóricas) la línea divisoria del tiempo para mostrarnos, en el presente, el importante papel que ejercieron y las principales funciones que desarrollaron. En este escrito vamos a acercarnos a conocer cuáles eran sus principales funciones sociales como sacerdotisas, figuras oraculares, …

Management Faculty Publications

Administrators in the upper echelons of higher education face an array of dilemmas that impact and inform institutional priorities around how to serve various student populations best.

This chapter provides an explanatory case study of a successful program launched by two vice presidents of a small, Predominately White Institution (PWI) in rural Kansas. It shows how deeply impactful outcomes for black male students can be achieved through intentional Elevating Educational Intentional Practice …

San Pablo Villa de Mitla –ubicado a unos 50 km al este de Oaxaca de Juárez, capital del estado mexicano del mismo nombre– es célebre por sus ruinas precolombinas visitadas desde la época colonial. Pero el pueblo de Mitla –como se lo conoce comúnmente– también es –o más bien era– famoso por su museo: El Museo Frissell de Arte Zapoteco, una institución privada que apareció a principios de los años 50 y reunió la colección de arte zapoteca más importante del mundo, después de las del Museo Nacional de México y del Museo Regional de Oaxaca. Entre estas piezas, había …

Basándonos en la idea de que las culturas originarias de América comparten un lecho cosmovisional y simbólico común, en este artículo comparamos imágenes representativas de dos áreas geográficas y períodos culturales muy distantes entre sí, que también corresponden a tipos expresivos diferentes. De la cultura Chavín del área andina centro-septentrional (1500-300 a.C.) analizamos una compleja figura de un personaje zooantropomorfo portando una vara del cactus San Pedro; imagen que puede considerarse al mismo tiempo una de las evidencias más tempranas de la utilización ritual de esta planta sagrada en el marco del ceremonialismo chamánico en América del Sur.
